f C3 She gagg Sstoytem ASTORIA, OREGON: wcnVKsnAY AUGUST 3. 1BS7 THE CONVENTION. To-day delegates from various com munities, composing the Columbia waterway convention, will meet in tbe interests of an open river. An open river is what is needed, and it is to further it as much as possible that the convention is held. There are men of experience from various parts of the state and territory to be heard from in that convention, and what ever suggestions are made or action adopted, will be of a practical nature Astoria, at the gateway of our great river, welcomes the visitors, and hopes that their stay will be a matter or per sonal pleasure and mutual benefit Hexry Wattersok, of the Louis ville Courier-Journal, devotes two columns to an outline of the future policy of the Democratic party. The substance of it all is, that the re nomination of Mr. Cleveland is a fore gone conclusion, and that in all human probability Mr. Blaine will be pitted against him. There will then be but one live issue, and that is the tariff. The cross increase of the receipts of thirteen of the largest postoffioes in this country for the last quarter over the same quarter of last year was $351,13S. At this rate the gross receipts of the entire service for the last quarter of the fiscal year just closed will be about $12,000,000. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial thinlcs he has discovered a plot on the part of the Standard Oil company to capture the New York delegation for the pres ident and then run him out of the convention in order to nominate sec retary Whitney for president During the past six months 861 saw and planing mills have been started in the south, which will work up 500, 000,000 feet of lumber. The increase is going on. Lumbermen think too rapid progress is being made. Lum ber is a trifle higher all around in the west A PEN:;sviiVjiA nail maker, who turns out 1,000 kegs a week, expects to remove to Toledo, where he can save $1.50 per ton on ore, making a saving on fuel by using natural gas and save nine cents per keg freight to his market BtnxDEits of late years haveTjeen giving up lath and plastered ceilings in large buildings, as well as light floor timbers, for heavy timbers and thick, closely laid 3-inch floors.

A COMPLIMENTARY SERENADE Last Eveiiius to the Governors of Oion and Washington. Gov. Sylvester Pennoyer, of Ore gon, and Gov. Eugene Somple, of Washington, are in the city, the guests of Judge C. H. Page. These gentlemen are here to attend the ses sions of the Columbia Waterway convention and evince by their action the warm personal interest they feel in tho welfare of their sister common Wealths. Last evening Co. "H." O. N. G., preoeded by the Western Amateur band, marched to the residence of Judge Page, where the governors were tho recipients of a handsome sere nade. After sundry melodies, Gov. Pen noyer was introduced by Judge Page. The governor said that he thanked tho citizens ot Astoria for this kindly greeting of welcome. It was unexpected, and yet it would not have been had he remembered the courtesy of the Astorians. During his canvas last year, although well received eleswhere, ho remembered especially the warm greeting he re ceived in this goodly oity. He said he now visited the town for two pur pur eoses: one was to attend the water way convention to be held to-morrow and the other was to consult with the president of the fish commission. There was no subject of greater in terest to Astoria than tho open ing up of the Columbia river to free navigation. When that should be effected Astoria would then begin to develop her future greatness as a commercial city. The fishing interest was also an important one to Astoria. Last winter a bill passed the legisla ture providing for a fish commission to the president of which was delegated the prerogative that under the consti tution belongs to the executive. He was enjoined to see that the If.ws re lating to the propagation and protec tion of salmon were enforced. Hop ing that a person whose sole business it was to attend to the matter, and was paid well for it, would attend well to it, he signed the bill. The legislature elected the commission, and he sup posed that it would enforce the law. But he now feared that he had trusted to a broken reed. He last week ad dressed a letter to the president of the commission, calling his attention to the law and to his sworn duty un der it He now came here only to find that he was up in Clackamas county supervising an artificial hatchery when he should be here en forcing the law and aiding the hatch ery created by the Almighty, by allowing the salmon during the month of August to ascend tho river. He found here an unfortunate state of affairs. The president of tho com mission, so far as he oould learn, had given no notice that he would enforce the law. Some canneries had obeyed the law, while others were disobeying it. It was most unjust and unfair to allow those who break the law to de rive a profit which those who obey the law ate deprived of. He said that he should make a hunt for the miss ing president of the fish commission and instruct him to give notice that for all fishing done after next Satur day, the canneries would be prose cuted according to law. . He hoped, however, all the canneries would cheerfully comply with the law. Both representatives of tho canning and fishing interests had implored him to enforce tho law. The governor thanked Co. "H." O. N. G., for the honor of their visit and compliment ed them on their soldierly bearing. He said that a well-regulated militia is sometimes a needed safeguard of a free people. Great interest was being manifested by the young men throughout the state in the organiza tion of a militia, and he hoped when the state enoampment was held next year that the Astoria company would stand abreast the best of them. Gov. Semple, after being intro duced, said, in 8nb3tanoe, that he was pleased at the welcome that was extended to him. He has many warm friends in Astoria to greet whom was always p pleasure to him. He first visited Astoria twenty-five years ago when a young man after about a months' f rin nn thA wtfir TTa trifVi I some other young men, came .ashore here and finding the town quite dull they proceeded to make it lively, and he was glad to say that it had been lively ever since. After an interchange of congratu lations, etc., the company returned to the armory, the band "playing lively iunes along the route. What! Io Yon Think Jeff of the U.
