If you want to illustrate tho ex treme scarcity of anything, say "as scarce as idle men in Astoria." Ev ery one that wants work can get it. On next Saturday the Telephone will make her last Saturday round trip for the season of 1887: the other regular trips will continue as usual. Shrimps, alive and squirming, juicy and toothsome are offered for sale and find ready sale. They are a Co lumbia river product along with so many other good things. Harry Smith, of the fisherman's Protective Union, says ho is in re ceipt of a letter from Gray's Harbor saying that no one was wounded in the late fish trap diflicultyafthat place. The British ship Titania, 879, and barks Argyleshire, 70S, Clarcmont, 557, and Coldstream, 546, are char tered to load salmon at Victeria: the first three for London, tho last men tioned for Liverpool. The Tribune Hears it stated that a Taooma schoolmarm recently taught the planets as Mercury, Yenus, Ta coma,Mars, etc., when a small boy asked if it wasn't Tacoma ?they were going to when they died instead of heaven. The O. K. & N. steamer R. Ii. Thompson has been put on the reg ular daily service between Portland and Astoria, in place of steamer Mountain Queen, and tho schedule time lor Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays is abolished. The Astobian suggests to the rail road committee that tho circulation of a few more of those subscription papers would probably res nit in se curing several hundred, fifty and twenty-five dollar subscriptions. Every little helps, and one way to make a thing successful is to get as many as possible interested iu it. The Premier, the Canadian Pa cific's new steamer, will have a spec d of fifteen knots an hour. She has triple expansion engines of 1,100 horse power. The company proposes build ing another steamer of more than double the power of the Premier, to run between Vancouver, Victoria, Astoria, and Portland in connection with the Canadian Pacific railroad. John C. New, ex-treasurer of tho United States and editor of the Indi anapolis Journal, is in San Francis oo. He is one of the men associated with Col. Woodard, who wrote stat ing that the raising of a $150,000 Bub sidy would insure the building of a railroad to Astoria inside of a year. CoL Woodard is understood to be backed by millions, and, practically, he can have all tho money he wants. A youth from North Carolina, an swering to the name of Baird is af fording much mirth to tho ungodly San Francisco reporters. He ap plied to a sailor boarding house for "light work aboard "ship," and was obligingly given a birth "aboard tho ship Cedric the Saxon, bound for Liverpool. He got tired of the "light work" very soon and telegraphed to his papa for money to get back home. The suggestion is made to Tiie As tobian that the city vote the subsidy of lbU,00U and issue bonds to that amount, payable in 30 years, drawing 5 per cent, ffhe source entitles it to respectful consideration, but Tub As tobian takes no stock in tho scheme and doesn't believe that tho proposi tion is either sensible or practical. Thismaybeblunt,butit is our candid opinion all the same. The money should be raised, but not that way. New boilers of a peculiar pattern were placed on board the tug Astoria at San Francisco last Saturday, and none of the kind have ever been placed on a marine vessel before. There are three cylinders instead of one, and the cylindrical parts, being small, require less thickness of iron for the Bame high pressure of steam. All the parts being circular in form they require'a less amount of staving and it is claimed that tho consump tion of coal is greatly reduced. The designs of the new boilers have been sent to the naval authorities at Washington, where the idea received warm commendation. A large num ber of mechanics and steamboat men have visited the tug to see tho new boilers. The Pittsburg Oil company has succeeded in making a deal with in dependent producers to slopover-pro-duotion and prevent further breaks in oil. It has contracted to transfer to a certain body of -producers 6,000c 000 barrels of oil at 62 cents per bar rel. This oil is to be afterward sold out ior the benefit of tho producers it 1 TierlsarreL They agree to dis- . courage "mld-catting," stop the drill Bjfaa and curtail tho amount of their own and others' production to the amount of 6,000,000 barrels. The Standard Oil company will not lose. They will merely fail to make the difference iu the price of 6,000,000 barrels of oil between 62 cents and SI. They lose nothing, because they have bought every barrel at 62 cents, or below bulk at 55 cents. Producers will make S'i.'zsu.uuu it the terms ot the con tract are carried out Chimneys ought to be examined frequently to make sure that there aro no cracks in them. It is an ex cellent plan to have the chimney so constructed that it is never concealed by the wall of a room, thus prevent ing a thorough examination of it. A house often settles, and this cracks the chimney, but the crack is hidden. By and by fire makes its way out, and a "mysterious fire" results. All chimneys ought to be well plastered with good mortar outside and in when they are bnilt, and the work of the mason should bo inspected thor oughly to make sure ho does a good job. The chimuey should be cleand twice a year.w If this is done it will not be likely to "burn out" If it does get on fire throw a handful of salt in the stove. This will deaden the fire almost immediately. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE SUBSIDY. James T.13 lor, (without ter minal facili ties!

Taylor, who has just re turned from an extended visit to southern Oregon and central Califor nia, says that tho craze there regard in!? real estate has developed into n mania, ana mat property 13 oougui and sold regardless of relative value, and disposed of at prices that no sane man would pay, unless he wore gambling just as in any other gam bling game. He oites as an instance the fact that lots were sold in J-ios Angeles laBt week at $-1,000 a front foot, while right on Market street m the heart of San Francisco desirable lots covered with massive brick structures can be had for 2,500 a front foot. It is not a "boom," it is a craze. A good many who went in with their littlo savings have mado n strike and have put in their winnings and their originnl capital in an effort to call the turn. Tho chances are that a good many honost'peqple of limited means .will be badly cinched. Sooner or later such a bubble will burst. United Order of Honor. Hall of Clatsop Lodge, No. 113, U. O. of H.

PROBABLY AN'D POSSIBLY AND LIKELY. San Francisco, Sept 20. A. D. Charlton, general western passenger agent of the Northern Pacific rail road, arrived to-day from Portland, and in an interview in regard to a statement about the company start ing an office in this city, said there was no truth in the story, but ho had come down with, perhaps, that end in view, though nothing definite was decided upon yet PORTLAND BOARD OF TRADE. Portland, Ogu., Sept 20. A spe cial meeting of the board of trade was held to-day for tho purpose of making arrangements for a public re ception to senator Leland Stanford upon his return to this city from hi3 trip to "Victoria.

Fatal Accident Near OyjtervIIIp. Tho United Slates survey steamor HcArthur, iu chargo of Lieut. J. S. Burnett, U. S. N., came in from Shoalwater bay, with her flag half masted, on a most melancholy er rand yesterday. Last Sunday afternoon tho JIcAr thur, tho crew of which have been engaged in surveying Shoalwator bay, was lying about half a mile from shore, when ensign N. S. Mosely and draughtsman Whetmoro started in a small sail boat to go ashore at Oysterville for tho mail. When half way across, the sea being calm and tho sail dead, a sudden squall strnok tho boat and before it conld get any headway, capsized, throwing both oc cupants into the water, where they struggled for fhreo or four hours. Finally, when about ready to sink through we'ariness, they got tho boat righted and got to shoro more dead than alive. Upon getting to shore they were taken out of the boat, kind ly eared for, and carried to tho lorn Morris, and brought out by that boat to the McArUiur. Mr. Whetmore soon recovered, but ensign Mo3ely was evidently so over come by exposure as to be dying. The unfortunate young man lin gered till nightfall, when a violent congestive chill carried him. off. The officers on board feel as though they had lost a Brother and aro in grief at the Joss of a kindly com panion. The young man was a native -of Stockton, California, where he leaves a wife and infant child. He was in the 21th year of his age. Tho body will bo embalmed hero and taken to.California on the next steamer. The McArthur goe3 back to Shoal water bay to-day. Don't Experiment.
