The Astoria track is now assured, says the McMinnville Telephone, and inside of twelve months we hope to chroniole the direct shipment of wheat by rail to Astoria the great seaport of the northwest coast. As fourteen-fifteenths is to seven-twenty-fifths, says the Vidette, so is the civio pride of Astoria to that of Portland, at least in the matter of public subscriptions "to give the town a boost."

TheTacoma News hears that on account of the scarcity of fish, can- nerymen are now iurniBning seines and paying ten cents each for silver salmon, and where the fishermen fur nish their own seines, the canners pay fourteen cents apiece for fish. A boat and crew make on an average 9200 a day, at these rates. J. R. Roork, a logger working for Powell & Donaldson, at Knappa lost his life last Friday evening, by slip ping off a log that was lying in the boom, at that place. Every effort was made to rescue the unfortunate man, bnt without avail. The body was afterward recovered and a coffin was sent up from here yesterday on the Favorite. 'Wm. Stowe, the oldest net maker in this country takes pretty strong grounds for a change in large seines and traps for our fishermen. He asks an examination of. materials so that the fisherman can see for himself that the statements of the Gloucester Net & Twine Co. are correct. This company wishes to be correct -in all their statements, and not lead the .fishermen astray. Last Wednesday morning the sa loon occupied by Billy Linn, the pu gilist, was burned to the ground, at Vancouver, W. T. Linn was shot and dangerously wounded. It would seem that the place was frequented bjr soldiers from the garrison and Linn had some trouble with them. It is thought the soldiers -set fire to the place and shot its proprietor. Linn is well known in this city. R. L. Boyle recently returned from a visit to friends and relative in Iowa, reports a widespread desire in the Hawkeyetateto "find some place to live where one won't have to work like sixty, eight months in the year to keep .Mi ve. the other four. California TincI Oregon are the Mecca of the in tending emigrants from Iowa, and there, will, he thinks, be considerable immigration this way shortly. - There ' if room for all. C. P. Upshur, agent Pacific Express company, is in receipt of a letter from that company in which they decline to take any steps toward establishing a route from here to Shoalwater bay, Gray's harbor and Chehalis county points, but will afford all possible facilities to any one who wishes to establish such route. The next thing in order is to form a local express company and go ahead. Tho thing cau and should be done. The salmon run on the Siuslaw is above the average; there is a fair run at Coos bay, Yaquina, Tillamook and theNehalem. The catch of silver sides in tho Columbia improved some last week: in Shoalwater bay tho run has fallen off semewhat: at Gray's harbor it still continues. . The fall run in general is light this year, and is considerably later than in former seasons, but the large number of canneries in operation this fall will make the aggregate of the pack ex ceed that of any former year.

It started in Crane & Co.'s Baw mill and burned four acres of lumber; then started north westward towards the city pushed by a gale of wind. About ten houses soon burned on the opposite sidebof Eastern avenue, making the situation alarming. At 250 p. M. the fire de partment had it under control. The fire department has abandoned the lumber yards and are giving their whole attention to preventing tho flames from spreading among the houses. A IiAMENTABCE AFFAIR. Memphis, Oct. 15. Judge H. T. Ellett who made the welcome address to tho president here this morning died on the stand before the cere monies were over. Tho tragic incident occurred just as the president closed his remarks in response to the judge's welcome. Though the day was not uncomfortably warm the spot in the center of the Court House square whero the speakers stand had been erected, was an exposed one and Judge Ellett who stood for a time with his hat off as the president was speaking sat down and was soon overcome by the heat Dr. Bryant of the presidential party took direction of affairs and remained with the un fortunate gentleman while the presi dent was escorted to the Cotton nnd Merchants Exchange. Judge Ellett died 5 minutes after the president left tho reviewing stand. The fact was studiously kept from the presi dent. Judge Ellett was a courtly gentleman of high local repute and the address was not alone for Mem phis but for the whole south and was memorable. The president's reply was equally notable. Devilfish On The Sound. There are a good many devilGsh in the bay, and every few days some of tho fishermen bring in one or more of them. Emanuel Thomas, the fish erman who caught the big shark Sun day last, says he has caught a great many devilfish this season. "The biggest devilfish, or octopus, as some call them, that I have caught in this bay." said Mr. Thomas, yester day, "was when its arms were Btretched out, 11 feet across, that is, its arms were 7 feet long. Then I have caught a good many smaller ones on my lines. They are very ugly things to handle, and when I take them out of the water I am not, for a moment even, careless how I handle them. They have a mouth just like a parrot It is located just under f Tio onAlr rn rkdv TMin Innrr fjrmc nnvapml ntt tVa nnAnr- oiln trifli Tror- ' suckers, which exert extraordinary power. When they get hold of any thing it is a rare instance when they are not victorious. They are cun ning, too,-for when they fasten their arms around a man they work their arms so as to get the points iuto his nostrils. If they do he is a goner. They can crush the life out of a mau or an animal in a moment When they are attacked they throw out a black secretion which clouds tho water and both confuses their antag onist and enables them to escape. They are very hardy. They will live fr three or fonr days after being takeu ont of the water. I am going to try and take the next big one I catch to the east. They can bo trans ported without much trouble." Se attic Post-Intelligencer, 12. - - -. i Renews Her Youth. Sirs. Ph&be Chester. Peterson, Clay Co., Iowa, tells the following story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the town : "I am 73 years old, have been troubled with kidney complaint and lameness for many years: could not dress myself without help. Now 1-am free from all pain and soreness, and ?m able to do all my own housework. 1 owe my thanks to Electric BUters for having renewed my youth, and removed completely all dis ease and. pain."

AlPalmatier, one of the crew of the sealing schooner Alpha, that left here last spring for the north Pacific sealing grounds returnea yesreraay. Jas. Tatton has gone to San Farncisco; H. Olsen took a schooner to San Diege: Wetherell's whereabouts are unknown; Palmatier, Babbidge and the cook returnea uere. vneu me Alpha got to where the cutter was, or rather when the cutter got to where tho Alpha was, she had 403 seals aboard, which they had killed on their way up. The schooner is still tied up. When the crew got to Victoria on their return they were of fered 75 per cent, for their claims. Palmatier says he lost everything except his appetite. Captain Brown, of the Annie, is in San Francisco. He says that the Sitka court had decided not to ac cept any more bonds, and that all vessels seized should remain in Sitka until the cases are finally settled. "We had a one-sided trial," he says. "We simply went into court, and all of us were found guilty, and then they adjourned court It is a terri ble place to stay in. We had to board our men all the time, and you can't get a meal in the place for less than fifty cents. Tho U. S. marshal there carries things with a high hand. He ejeoted half a dozen In dian sailors from a Victorian schoon er one night when it was raining and hailing as only it can rain and hail in that country. They did not have a thing to eat nor any place to sleep. They came up around the court house, and the judge and some of the citizens took pity on them and com pelled the marshal to let them go back to the veasel over night. My vessel was Beized when I was about seventy-five miles from Ounalaska and fifty miles off shore. It was about 830 o'clock on the evening of August 6th. Captain Shepherd of the Hush sent some men aboard and all were taken to Ounalaska. I had about 3S0 seals. The skins were taken out there and packed away in the store-house of the Alaska Com mercial company for safe-keeping. You can depend they'll be safe enough there. None of the British schooners that were seized have tried to get released. They are all wait? ing at Ounalaska, except the Alfred Adams,tor the British government to take action in their behalf. According to all accounts there are now ten of the seized vessels in Sitka. The others have been realeased on bonds. Palmatier is not very compli mentary toward the officials and thinks they might have been to say tho least a little more obliging. He secreted and saved from tho govern ment's clutches his trusty rifle. Not Certain of the Crime. "Kin I git a man arrested?'' asked a colored man at the sergeant's desk in police headquarters yesterdav. "What for? "Fur callinme names." "What names?" "Well, sab, he. called me a dodo." "And what is a dodo?" "I dunno, Bah." "Perhaps it mean means a great statesman?'' "Mebbe it does, sah, an' so I'll let up on hi3 callin' me names, an' hev him arrested fur de way he jumped in an' give me two kicks." Detroit I I CS I tV, Incoming Passenger.
