A Shocking Arciilent
On the Telephone near St. Helens,
last Sunday morning, we heard of a
terrible accident that happened near
there the evening before. Aaron
Broyles, an old trapper and hunter,
and a noted Rooky Mountain path
finder in early days, had many years
ago come to St. Helens and taken up
a claim close by and was there pass
ing his declining years. His little
grandson, Aaron Kelly, a lad of 13,
lived with him, and tho two were
children together. On the fatal even
ing the old man showed the boy how
to load a Henry rifle and told him to
shoot at a mark in the yard. The
boy, eager and excited, wheeled to
ward the mark and the muzzle of the
rifle came into range with the old
man's body, just as, in some unac
countable way, tho weapon was dis
charged, tearing a hole through the
poor old man's body. He fell to tho
groun&and expired in a few moraentp.
The boy is frantic with grief, and the
sad affair has cast a gloom over the
entire community.

A Pleasant Ride.
Will Sherman, who left Sacramen
to last Friday night at ten o'clock and
got homo yesterday afternoon, says
he hnd a very pleasant overland trip.
The weather at Sacramento was warm
for an Astorian though the Sacra
mento folks said it was real cool be
side some that they had been having
in August Coming up through the
valley and stopping at Cole's, the
train load that he was with 55 pas
sengers -was transferred to five six
horso coaches and driven up, up, up
to near the summit and then zigzag
down a dizzy grade to lower levels
and into Ashland, there to resume
seats in the train after a mountain
stage ride of twenty miles. Will had
a seat alongside tho driver, an old
timer who drove between Portland
and Sacrnmento steen years ago
and the old fellow told him many
droll legends of the bygone.
Ghe Them a Chanre!
That is to say, your lungs. Also
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
tho larger air-passages, but the thous
ands of little tnbes 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 tbeii
work. And what they do, thoy can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu
monia, catarrh, consumption or any of
the family of throat and nose and head
and lung obstruction, all aro bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There is
just one Bure way to get rid of them.
that is to take Boschees German

everything else has failed you, yon

COLUMBIA PALL FISHING.
Active preparations are being made
by several of the Washington terri
tory aud Oregon salmon canneries
for a resumption ot operations this
fall. Bay View, Cathlamet, Brook
field, Occidental, George & Barker
and others have started and several
others will be in operation this week.
There is a present large run in the
river, the quality of which is pro
nounced second only to tho unri
valed Columbia river spring salmon.
The salmon now in the river are of
a species hard to determine. After
the first fall rains come the "silver
sides," to catch which fishermen use
a 7( net. The fact that some of
them are getting ready their summer
nets, with an 8) mesh, indicate that
the smaller silveroide run is not con
sidered to have yet begun.
The amount of tho fall Dick on the
Columbia this season will, probably,
be determined by the number of emp
ty cans on hand. Where there is
such a supply as, for instance, in the
North Shore cannery, the pack will
be proportionately larger than where
there are fewer cans on hand.
The fall pack is a direct benefit to
Astoria and vicinity and is almost
totally devoid of the objectionable
features that surround indiscriminate
packing of spring and summer fish.
The species of salmon from this on
aro presumably of less commercial
va)ne than the earlier runs and are
said to bo of a speoies that do not
go to the headwaters to spawn as do
the spring salmon, The money paid
for the raw material of the fall pack
goes almost entirely to resident Bsh
ennen and is kept here and put in
circulation among Astoria merchants
to a greater degree than that paid
out earner in tue season.
Sheriff Albert of Wahkiakum coun
ty, 13 in receipt of letters from Gov
ernor Semple nnd district attorney
Robinson, in which it is stated that
no attempt will bo made to rigidly
construe the Washington territory
law regarding the remainder of the
close season, which expires on the
30th inst.
