There is some talk of organizing a
Loan & Building association. Such
institutions are found by long con
tinued experience to be mutually sat
isfactory and profitable, aiding home
builders and affording good oppor
. tuuities for small investors.
A man named Webber has a nice
farm down near Yaquina, but, last
Tuesday the farm above him, on the
hill, broke loose and slid down and
covered up his nice farm, and now he
wants the man to come and pull his
farm off, so he can get to work pat

Gulls in the air and seals in the sea
. . 2re reported plenty off tho mouth of
.tberiver. They are the forerunners
!.,of the. smelt, and the smelt are the
"three or forerunners of tho toothsome
--samlets. 'Tis thought there are some
smelt down around Sand Island now,
but the cold weather keeps them from
coming faither up.
Joggles was in yesterday giving us
his .views on the international fish
question. Ho says "We gave John
Bull a warm breakfast in 76; wc gave
him a dinner in 1812, and we've got a
red'hot supper ready for him when
ever he wants it." Such sentiments
as these are what koen tho tail
feathers of tlao American Eagle from
drooping.
There was great fun all day yester
day'in'the postoffico over the receipt
of valentines, comic and otherwise,
the comic ones being in tho majority.
Some exhibited wore very elaborate
and went to show considerable ear
nestness or affection on the p?.r(, of
the sender, while some of tho''hit-'em-hards,"
seemed just a little vine
gary. However the youngsters, and
some of the oldsters too, enjoyed the
sport, and everybody was happy.
Carl Adler received a dispatch yes
terday morning from Portland, from
Wm. A. Thompson, the manager of
the Thompson Opera company, stat
ing the appearanco of that company
in Astoria would have to be post
poned ou account of tho sudden ill
ness of the prima donna. It is to be
hoped that tho prima donna and
secundo tenoro and basso profuudo
will soon be able to produce "Robert
Macaire" here, with some accent on
-the "care."
The Juneau, Alaska, Free Press
now comes to the front with the gelid
claim to being published at tho far
thest northwest point of any paper in
"the United States. Tho claim is cor
rect. The Daily Astoria con
tinues to be tb.2 farthest west
of any daily newspaper pub
lished in tho United States, and for
the last two years the dispatches
which it publishes travel farther
across the continent than those which
appear in any other. American news
paper. Editors of newspapers shove a good
many of their own mistakes under the
apologetic head of "typographical er
rors," and usually it is all right; but
the Heppner Gazette goes away out
side the limit Some time ago it pub
lished a portrait of Jno. Boach and
said it was a picture of J. P. Wager.
The Astoriax gave it away and now
if says that that was a "typograph
ical error." It won't do. It may be
got rid of as a "topographical error,"
but don't try to work it off on the
typos. Doubtless they have sins
enough of their own to answer for.
-That "distance lends enchantment
to the view," is well exemplified in
looking at the snow crowned forests
across the jiver Probably, if we had
to travel "through or work in that re--gion
it would be the reverse of pleas
' flat; but to. us on the south shore the
picture they present is a grand one;
the deep green of the cone shaped
trees, tee glistening snow is their
dark tops, tho gold and crimson and
violet light as the sun's sinking
shafts fall level on the rank and file
of fir and sprnce and hemlock, reced
ing in purple distance to the far off
summits of the Olympian range.
The Astoria Iron works has oh men
busy getting out cannery machinery.
The boiler shop is about the noisiest
ftiuoiu luiio, especially vncn river
ing is going on. as was tho case ves-
terJay afternoon. Sis can filling
machines are building; these ingen
ions devices, invented by M. Jensen,
being always in demand. They cost
S70U apiece. Nino retorts are'build
inff six for Alaska and three for the
river. These retorts will each hold
4,921 one lb. cans. A 1,200 boiler is
also building. This in addition to
tho usual amount of fonndrv and
machine work, which make3 the.es
tablishment one of the busiest in the
northwest.
Begarding tho collision between the
R. R. Thompson and the tug Wiz
ard last Saturday morning, state
ment is made to The Astobiax that
the tug started down from the upper
end of the dock, and when in the
stream blow one whistle, tho R. R.
Thompson having backed out from
the dock and coming head on, but
blew no whistle in xmswer. Those
on the tug supposed the river boat
would pass inside, on their port, and
kept on their course under a full head
of steam. Tho Thomnson struck thp
Wizard about amidships.breaking the
planking in the latter, the upper ou
gino room gratings and the piping.
The Wizard then sheered round to
make the inside of the dock to ascer
tain and repair damages, which, it is
tnougnt will aggregate S3U0.
Bough times are reported from tho
mouth of Smith's river, just south of
Coos bay. The schooner Pelican,
lumber laden, was waiting, on the
1st, for the storm to abate in order to
put to sea. Tho river was very high,
caused by tho recent storms, aud a
large quantity of drift was floating
down, and striking tho schooner she
broke loose from her moorings
and floated down stream. Tho tug
went to tho rescue, hitched on,
but could not stem the ourrent
and drift, and they both passed on
out of the mouth of the river. Tho
heavy seas, together with tho strong
wind, drove the schooner ou the
south spit, where the next day she
broke up and was a total wreck. No
lives were lost, as all hands en both
vessels succeeded in getting to shore.
The loss sustained by the loss of
these vessels can only be approxi
mated, which is about as follews:
Tug, S20.090, owned by E. D. Hume &
Co.; the schooner, 38,000; making a
total of 23,000. Tho lumber was
mostly surfaced redwood and is scat
tered along the beaoh. aud. although
much of it may be gathered up at
wtt uua aiier mo sea goes aown, still
it will be in an almost worthless con
dition. Talking of the loss of the Dawn, a
prominent steamboat engineer said
to The Astobiak local yesterday af
ternoen: It is unfortuaato that
when the boys on board set their
signal of distress it happened to be
put up in such a way that it made
the Dawn look just like tho Dolphin,
a long way off, and there's just where
the trouble was. Everyone that saw
her thought it was the Dolphin, that
polo they stuck up aft made tho ves
sel look as though she had two masts.
If they only had set some odd signal
on the for'ad must it would have
been noticed. I understand sho had
no anohor aboard, nor any sail, and
we all know that if a boat on the
lower Columbia around here happens
to got disabled she ought to have all
the Utile things that tho lav re
quires." The moral of the unfor
tunate occurrence would seem to bo
that every craft, however small, that
plies in this vicinity being, as in any
water, liable to the possibility of a
breakdown in maohinery or rudder
that may send her drifting to sea
should be well fitted our with all the
devices and appliances that are con
sidered necessary, or else take the
chance of being seen and rescued by
others in case acoident overtakes her.
Important to Ladle-
Bead what Jeannie Winston, Port
land's favorite prima donna, says of
Wisdom's Bebertine:
Portland, Dec. 22, 1886.
To Mr. W. M. Wisdem: The
"Bobertine" you so kindly sent me is
excellent. It is tho finest prepara
tion I have over used, and is a de
cided acquisition to a lady's toilet.
Yours truly,
Jeannie Winston.
Tho above is published in order to
settle all doubts and disputes as to
the existence of such an endorse
ment, and as evidence of tho high
esteem in which Wisdom's Bober
tinois held. This preparation haB
been beforo tho public but a short
time, yet tho salo has been extraor
dinary. Wisdom's Bobertine is for
sale by all the leading druggists."

Unnecessary Misery.
Probably as much misery comes
from habitual constipation as from
any derangement of the functions of
the body, and it is difficult to cure,
for the reason that no ono likes to
take tho medicines usually pre
scribed. HAMBURG FIGS were
prepared to obviate this difficulty,
and they will be found pleasant to

r t
Free Trade.
The redaction of internal revenue
and the taking off revenuo stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no
doubt ha3 largely benefited the con
sumers, as well as relieving tho bur
den of home manufacturers. Especial
ly is this tho case with Green's
August Flower and Boschee's Ger-man-Syrup;
Tasthe -reduotion of
thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bofc-
.tles containing these remedies, there-
oy giving one-mtn more medicine in
the 75 cent size. The August Flower
for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and tho German Syrup for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
tho largest sale of any medicines in
the world. Tho advantage of in
oreased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, iu overy town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain tho same size,
