CS3 ft'&BaMii V AST6rIa70REG0ISt : THUKSDAY."Z.rSHlTEMBEU 15, 18S7 Frost yesterday morning. The Oregon arrived in at 7 o'clock last evening. It is easier to develop a boom than to manufacture one. These United States will be one hundred ydars old to-morrow. "Out of sight, out of mind," don't apply to a boil on the back of one's neck. Mayor Trullinger has a fine boom of " logs below his mill, good speci mens of the product of his logging camp. The Fourth of July committee will meet, if they get there, at C. J. Tren chard's office at eight o'clock this evening. A. J. Cooper, of Chicago, tells Port land that he will build a S600.000 six Btory hotel there if the city puts up a subsidy of 8250,000. Capt Chas. F. Powell says work has been delayed at the jetty this season because of the inability of the contractors to furnish sufficient stone. The Pacific Coast Steamship com pany during the coming winter will run a steamer between Port Town send and Sitka, making fortnightly trips. The Manzanita went to Tillamook rock yesterday with Capt. Uriel Se bree, to make an official inspection of the lighthouse, returning in the after noon. The proprietors of the pulp mill will load two big grinders, an im mense fly wheel and other machinery on the scow Annie to-day for Young's river f alls. The pajr of deep water sailors at San Francisco will soon be fixed at 880 per month. A bonus of $30 per man is now collected by the boarding house maBters of that city. The driver and engine at the cor ner of Cass and Chenamus streets will shortly begin driving piles for the foundation of the three-story brick building at that point. Major Jones has made a survey of St. Helens bar and is reported as say ing that there is nineteen feet in the channel at low water; a prominent river pilot says "about fifteen." At a meeting of Astor Lodge No. 6, & of P., last evening, "W. L. Eobb was elected as a delegate to the grand lodge, K of P., to meet at Pen dleton October 11th. Isaac Bergman, alternate. Abottf half the 22,000 bonds re cently called in have been refunded so far. Former interest on the en tire lot stopped on the 5th inst, be ginning on that date at six per cent per annum. The Qen. Miles arrived in from Shbalwater bay yesterday morning with 1,000 cases salmon from the Ab erdeen Packing company. The fish ermen at P. J. McGowan's cannery at Bruoeport, struck last Tuesday for forty and sixty cents. Duck shooting has begun, fresh clams and juicy oysters are in the market, a stray goose comes in occa sionally, fish are not scarce, elk meat is to be had, and Astorians have the best of everything in the game line that wears fur, fin or feather. Several of our subscribers make complaint that their paper is taken away in the morning by some one or more whose ideas on the acquisition of property are vague. Any one that wants a copy can have it by caliing at the offioe, but pleaso let the subscrib ers papers alene. Last September nine grain cargoes cleared from the Columbia. The month is half gone and thus far there are no grain clearances, though two or three may get away the latter part of the month. The break in the Cal ifornia wheat deal knocked the bot tom out of the Oregon prices this season. T. F. Strowbridge and his party of hunters have returned frpm a trip to Saddle Mountains They ascended to near the summit and pronounce it a hunter's paradise: bands of elk, clear trout streams, etc They killed three elk, and could have killed thirty had they so desired; they also nan a string or. to nsu. B. F. Stevens, Geo. Day Al. Gates and A. L. Parker strung out single file. with pack animals, at sunripe yester day morning, en route for the Rock creek mining district, where they will prospect and probably locate some claims. A good fissure vein of free milling ore with a clean hanging wall and not too much porphyry horse WOUia UB U UUU llllUg. The American ship Olive SSSoutfi ard arrived in yesterday from San Pedro. Capt. AValker, a good exam ple of what the American navy should be if it had half a show, will pay his crew off to-day. It is little to the credit of our system of doing things that such ships as the Olive S. Southard and suoh men as Capt Walker should be so scarce. "When' the interstate commerce law went into effect, about the only good that it presaged, was, that the barn stormers and snide theatrical com panies could no longer inflict them selves upon a patient public. But even that is denied us, as it trans pires that under a recent ruling, ex cursion tickets to theatrical people, are sold for sixty dollars, good from Omaha to San Francisco and return. The Western Amateur band, a de servedly successful organization, will shortly add an orchestra for dances, parties, social gatherings, etc., com posed of A. W. Utziuger, performing on the clarionet; II. JJnBuisson, piano; Frank Busey, violin; Ran dolph ?Jonteith, ba3S violin; Frank Hall, cornet; Olto Monteith, second violin. The latter is but 12 years of age; he shows unmistakable musical talent He now plays alto in the band and will also be a member of the parlor orchestra. It is necessary that there should bo a meeting of the city council at which there can be a quorum to transact business. Coucomly street npeds repairing: the city tax roll now turned over by treasurer Hustler is to be noted, and other business needs attention. As for the matter of the poliec officers, that needn't occasion any division, as it takes four mem bers of the council to remove or ap point an officer. It is to be hoped" in the interests of the city that ther shall be a quorum present this evening- ALL SORTS OF PROPOSITIONS. Every mail brings to this office, aud, no doubt, to a hundred other newspaper offices, all sorts of prop ositions from men and women back in the white settlements who want to sell us aboriginals a lot of their wares, and want The Astohiax to take pay for advertisius the afore said wures in chips and whetstones. Since January 1st we have been of fered sewincr machines, trousers. safe3 of various kinds, tooth wash, j ink powder, land warrants, revolvers, j clocks, watches, waahtubs, wringers, buggies, rifles, shot-guns, deeds toi Florida property, books, tinware, ague medicine, love powders, brain- I food, condensed milk, chromoi, pi- J anos, steel engravings, washiug pow- i der, cottage organs, pocket knives, j looking glasses, "electric" hair' brushes, baking powder, complexion j improver, razors,corn cure,or.ts,wheat, flower seeds, dog medicine, cow bells, I prize hen's eggs, specific prescriptions, I liver pads, eye water, kidney enre, : iuu liibiiruuce policies, nuu-uiuious pills, lots in eastern building associa tions, glassware, paint, rat poison, candy, perfumery, photographs of celebrities, washing boards, shoes, yeast, patent oil, reapers, shirts, baby carriages, beer, lamps, stepiad ders, door knobs, fancy letters, hair dye, ribbons, "invisible" ink, catarrh cure, and a host of other truck in ex- j change for advertising. Onl of all i the heterogeneous mass is extracted the letters of those who talk business j and don't want something for noth- j ing. If half the propositions were j accepted, Tun Astohiax office would look liko an old jnnk shop. The last is "the bealiugest" of all; j a chap with the scriptural name of Joseph, with his lest name Beail, writes on a pretty note head, offering mining stock for a column advertise ment in this chaste family journal. Of all things on earth, to offer a newspaper man mining stock ! If gold and silver mines were selling at ten cents a dozen, we couldn't buy a piece of one of the certificates of stock, and if we gave two cents for a bundle of the stock we would be most egregiously swindled. And to ask, as Joseph of New York does, that we swap a column of space for a wad of his fodder, ah Joseph, Jeseph: do you think that the idiots of the conntrj'. have taken refugo in the newspaper offices? Get thee to Wall street, "where the lamb3 do love to gambol on the greeu, but don't im agine that newspaper gudgeons will bite at a bare hook. The fact of sending such an offer is an insult to the intelligence of any newspaper man in the country. Loss of the 'Qaeen of the H'sy. Capt. Grounds' fine scow, Queen of the Bay, is a total wreck off the month of the Nehalem. She left last Saturday from Kinney's dock with about 4,000 worth of salt, lumber, cannery supplies, eta, for the Saw log cannery on the Nehalem. Two men from there yesterday afternoon bring two acceunts: one is that the scow arrived in the river all right, but that at ebb tide the anchors dragged and that she went back out in the breakers a total wreck with all the cargo. The other, and probably the more correct ac count is that a strong northwester was blowing, the scow made down the coast all right and up to the curved channel, when the ebb took her and despite tho anchor, threw her over on the spit at the south entrance to the river where she sank and filled, the waves breaking clean over her. The salt, of course, is lost, the remainder of the cargo may be saved. Tho Queen' of the Ban was worth about $4,000 and had been refitted and repaired throughout, this season. She is believed to have been insured. Capt Frank Grounds, of the Lilian, goes, over this morning.

The Chicago Anarchists to Hang. Three Railroad Magnates in Portland. Washington, Sept. 14 Some dis satisfaction is expressed at the navy department over the slow progress of the United States ship Thetis to wards Alaska. The vessel sailed sev eral months ago from Portsmouth, Virginia, and should have been at her destination by this date, if she equalled the trip of the Bear, which is a slower vessel. When last heard from the Thetis was at Callao, Peru, and it is extremely doubtful if she can reach Alaska, where she is to as sist in protecting the sealeries, be fore winter closes in. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 14. Full delegations to the Republican con vention are arriving. Daring la3t night consultations respecting nom inations and organizations contin ued till near midnight. Senators Evarts and Hiscock declined to be considered aspirants for the chair manship of the convention, and both agreed to urge Seth Lowe to be chair man, pro tern., and Warner Miller for permanent chairman. The state committee,, after Miller acquiesced in this arrangement, dissolved. COT THE CHARTER. Philadelphia, Sept. 14. The long desired charter of the new national trade assembly of iron workers ha3 been granted by the general execu tive board of the Knights of Labor.

Ch:UHi)loii-lilp BaI:;efl. Astoria, Or., Sept. 13. '87. Editor Asterian: Sometime since we heard that tho members of Rescue hose team were to receive championship badges, in case they won tho first prizes offered by the Fourth of July committee, but since then nothing has been said. Isn't that encouraging for our boys? They have won more than any two teams in the state, and still are with out emblems, while their competitors at Salem have been beautifully re warded. In futnre, if Rescues intend having a rnnning teamthey had better not make any promises, if they do not iu tend keeping them. Please consider this matter and bear in mind that $100 was won J.ist July for this purpose. Members Rescue No. 2. Trouble at Gray's Harbor. From Aberdeen comes a report of serious trouble near Aberdeen, result ing in bloodshed. The report re ceived at this office is meager and lacks detail: the facts are said to be as follews: Last Friday night a party of men fifteen in number went to Graham Bros.' fish traps, near Aber deen, and cut them badly; then went to Fred Colbert's traps, farther down, und almost totally destroyed them; then cut up another man's traps, and then went down to AL Harris' trap, where they were met by a party with rifles; four men are re ported to have been wounded; two of them dangerously. The Chehalis county grand jury is in session, and as tho men who did the cutting are said to have been identified, it is probable that indictments may be found. lie Consulted His Pocket.

At eight minutes past eight o'clock last night Mayor Trullinger, Auditor Jewett, City Attorney Noland and Councilmen Carrnthera, Fulton and Sherman walked into the council chamber and took their seats. Tho nffyor said they would wait ten min utes for the other counoilmen. At the olose of two minutes Councilman Fulton thought an officer should be sent for one or two of the counoil men. Councilman Carruthers volun teered to find one and started down the stairs. In ninety seconds he re turned and seated himself in silence. Af r.iq nffinpr Linville anneared: the mayor requested him to go out and lOOK lor one OI me two uuuuuuueu. Officer Linville withdrew. At 833 officer Linville reported that Council man "RorfTmnn was in the Pvthian building and was engaged. Council man Fulton thought it would be just as well to adjourn. Councilman Sher man said there .was a petition m to improve Concomly street: that it was in a bad state and ought to be at tended to before the rains began. Chief engineer Woraley said as mat ters stood that part of the town was almost at the mercy of the flames in case of fire, as under present circum stances it was well nigh impossible to get a fire engine down that street. Mayor Trullinger told officer Linville to go and bring Councilman Berg man. Officer Linville asked "How?" The mayor said to tell him that his presence was required. Officer Lin ville departed. Conversation went on to while away the tedium and many ilrnll inl-ps were told, ohieflv of a rem iniscent nature, and there was con siderable hilarity on the back seats. At ten minutes to nine officer Whalen nnnonrpd nnd remitted that Council man Gratke had started for the coun- oil chamber. At nine minutes to nine officer Linville appeared and said thnfc flnnncilman Bercman would come as soon as he got through with lodge meeting. This aroused com ment of various nature: the lan guage of the charter was consulted regarding the duties of councilmen in the matter of attendance, sections 31 and 33 of chapter V being quoted. At fivo minntpa to nine the mavor said that if tho council was going to bo divided on politics, the matter would be remembered and have its effect next election. At three min utes to nine a motion to adjourn was favorably entertained, and the conn cil adjourned amid some cursory re marks. The motion to adjourn named this eveninc as the time to which the meeting was adjourned. Chief engi neer Worsley said u it raineu no rcnnld nnk fnr linrse.q to mill the en gines if required on Concomly street Auditor Jewett took his records and documents back to his office and locked them nn in the bier safe, the jauitor turned off tho gas, and the re porter mado just about the same sized item out of the business as if there had been a sure-enouch meeting of tho cily council.

That is to say, your lungs. Also your breathing machinery. Yery wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air-passages, but the thous ands of little tubes and cavities lead ing from them. When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do then work. And what they do, they can not do well. Call it cold, cough, crouo. pneu monia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. Thero is just one sure way to get rid of them, that is -to take Boscnee's German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you at 75 cent3 a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you, you may depend upon this for certain. No Farther Comment Needed. A paper asked: "Is there a wife in the city to-day who makes her hus band's shirt?" The following answer was received by return of pest: "I do, but he won't wear them." Ot ago, Ohio, Witness. An End to Bone Scraping Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says: uHaving received so much bene fit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to have tho bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, instead, three bot tlfes of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well." Electric Bitters aro sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at 25c per box by W. E. Dement & Co. Grin and Bear It Boys.
