If you want your town to get- up
and' climb' towards the pinnacle of
greatnew and prosperity, says the
Vancouver Independent, you ought
to step forward and pull ahead in
stead of hanging on behind to be
pulled along by others who are.doing
the progressive boosting. Little acts
and words encourage; Jittle words
and acts discourage. Look on the
sunny side and act accordingly.
John Peterson, a sailor on

last
Sunday. He was crossing a boom of

Sometime ago a foreign corre
spondent of the New York Sun asked
that paper for a list of the leading
hundred newspapers. The Sun pre
pared a list of ninety-nine, shrewdly
allowing any newspaper proprietor
whose paper didn't appear there to
mentally add it on, but even that
didn't prevent about 1,000 newspa
pers from saying that his list was no
good, because they did not appear
thereon. To select the hundred
newspapers is not so easy a matter.
Under date of the 8th, fish com
missioner E. P. Thompson writes to
The AsTORrAK that the regular meet
ing of the commission will be held at
the hatchery on the 28th inst. Ev
erything at the hatchery will be in
working order as soon as the salmon
are ready to spawn. There are plen
ty of salmon in the Clackamas for
hatching purposes. A short haul
was made with a seine on the Gth,
and fifteen salmon were caught; but
none of them will be ripe for at least
two weeks.
In front of Capt. J. G. Hustler's
residence,, is a front niouldiug just
taken down" to make room for im
provements, that is unique iu con
struction. It is a solid piece or
cedar, hollowed out'on the top with
an adze for a water trough and with
a fine moulding on the front side, nil
of which was done by hand when the
edifice was first put up, thirty-five
years ago. The timber is sound as a
nut, and good for thirty-five yenrs
more. It cost the captain about $50
when put up, but iu those days lum
ber at Astoria was $150 a thousand.
Many people take newspapers, but
few preserve them; yet the moat in
teresting reading is to be found in
a file of- old newspapers. It brings
ua the very age, with all its bustle
and every affair, and marks the spirit
and the genius more than the labori
ous effort of the historian. We can
not read a paper dated half a century
ago without knowing that almost
every name then printed is cut on
a tombstone at the head of an epi
taph. The lawyer that offers his
service to plead in the case of others
in the lower court, is now pleading
in the court above; the doctor that
advertises his medicines and cures,
has followed the sable tram of his
patients: the merchant who offered
his wares cheaper than the cheapest
has gone into everlasting liquidation;
and the actor who made others laugh
and weep, can now only furnish a
skull for his successor in ''Hamlet."
The Excursion of Co. "H."
Co. "H.." O. N. G.. usually make a
success of what they undertake, and
last Thursday evening's excursion
was no exception. About 730 205
ladies and gentlemen left on the R.
R. Thompson for Gathlamet, the
Western Amateur band furnishing
lively music. There was dancing on
the lower deck and at 10:15 the boat
arrived at Cathlamet. The Cathlsm
et people welcomed the Astorians, A.
D. Birnie and others doing all possi
ble to make things pleasant Birnie's
hall was opened and lit up, and there
was a -dance till about 130, Mr. Allen,
of the Parker House, setting a fine
supper on board the Thompson.
The party returned at 2:47 yester
day morning, everyone having had n
eood time. Company "H." desires to
thank the good people of Cathlamet
for their kindness and courtesy and
all others who made the occasion one
of such pleasant remembrance.
Items From Gray's Harbor.
The Qen. Miles arrived in from
Gray's harbor yesterday afternoon.
Times are lively on the harbor. The
fishermen all struck Thursday after
noon and refuse to go to work unless
all the canneries stop taking fish
from the traps. The fish have begun
to run well. Wooding's new bank at
Aberdeen iB about ready for the roof.
Weatherwax's mill has inst cleaned
up a shipment of about two million

mill is getting- new machinery and
will be able to turn out 100,000 feet

lldW DID HE DIE?
Farther Regarding the Death of C. A'. Reed.
IlwacO, Sept 9.
Editor Asterian:
yesterday morning some friends" of J
the late C. A. Keed became almost-
convinced that he and the drowned
man found at the cape and buried at
Pacific City was one and the same
person. The collar button was rec
ognized, and the key found in the
pocket of the deceased was positively
identified by C. C. Dalton, who occu
pied the rooms Beed rented for three
years. In the afternoon the coroner
impaneled a jury consisting of N.
Howerton, A. E. King,H. S. Graham,
F. S. Bates, C. D. Bodgers and A. E.
Heath, and proceeded to the grave.
The bcdy was soon recognized as that
of O. A Beed, dressed in ordinary
clothes and no coat Decomposition
had set in but in order to determine
whether the man died by his own
hand or met with foul play, it was
decided to have surgeon Munn, of
Fort Canby, make a thorough exam
ination and report on their return
to town.
The jury examined all the de
ceased's personal effects and found
nothing to establish any clue to his
death. There are several incidents
that tend to show that he committed
suicide. Why did he leave all his
best clothing and valuables, and go
away without a coat? He had no en
emies, and was a quiet old gentleman
of 62. His eyesight was fail
him. He had declared ho
had no kin to care for him and
sooner than be a burden to anyone
he would blow his brains out He
was financially embarrassed and de
spondent, and much discouraged by
the. result of last elections. He was
always interested in politics. Mr.
Reed was well and favorably known,
at one time was bur county auditor
and has held other responsible offices.
He has been secretary of the Wash
ington territory pilot commissioners
for some time and notary pnblic
He was a native of New York state
near Ticonderoga. " X.
EATER.
IiiWaco, Sept 9th.
The surgeon has completed his
post mortem examination of the body
of C. A Beed and finds no evidence
that there has been any foul play nor
any injuries that have been self-in-flioted.
It's presumed that the un
fortunate gentleman walked out in
the night smoking his pipe and fell
from the dock in the darkness, or
else, rendered tamporarily insane by
reverses, he intentionally drowned
himself. The truth will never be
known probably. He will be reburt
ied at Pacific city.
At n meeting held last evening by
the Ilwaco fire department, a com
mittee of eight were appointed to
conduct appropriate funeral services
over the remains. X.
Stilt Remains Unchallenged.
When the big tea ship was towed
into Tacoma harbor a few days ago
the officer of the deck, as is customa
ry, took soundings. When the ship
had nearly reached the dock, he
sang out to the captain, "Forty-five
fathoms and no bottom." My God P'
Buid the captain'What a harbor."
He did not dare let go the tug until
he had his lines on the wharf. Still
they talk about Tacoma'a fine har
bor. The story is told of the found
er of Old Tacoma, Capt M. M. Mc
Carver, that while arguing with some
one, probably a Seattle man, he was
met with the statement that "Taco
ma had no water in her harbor,"
meaning no good anchorage. To this
he indignantly retorted. "Good
Lord! there's ninety fathoms." His
statement has remained unchallenged
to this day, and knocked the doubt
ing Thomas ont in one round. Seat
