The A. Ji. Field and Dolphin ar
rived in yesterday. The Oat. Miles
sailed.
A good definition of reckless is a
man who attends a political meeting
and leaves his umbrella in the hall
way. The work of placing the new wheel
in the revenue cutter Rush was com
pleted last Wednesdaj'. It is likely
that the Rush will winter here.
No. 2's engine pumped 83,332 gal
lons water out of the gas company's
tank yesterday. No. One3 gave the
pipe line another test, throwing a
good stream.
The 100-yard foot race at Seattle
last Monday, for a purse of S1,000,
was won by Lewis, of Corvallis, beat
ing Ryan, of Seattle, three feet.
Time, 10 2-5 seconds.
The last day of this year will be
the fiftieth anniversary of the ordina
tion of the priesthood of Pope Leo
XIII. It will be kept by members of
that church as a jubilee day of
thanksgiving and joy.
The Seattle Post-InleUiyeucer has
positive information to the effect that
an organized effort will be made dur
ing the coming session of the legisla
ture to effect the removal of the ter
ritorial capital from Olympia.
Messrs. Stevens and Harrington
will be among the speakers at the
anti-prohibition meeting at Ross' Op
era house next Monday evening. On
the same evening there will be a tem
perance meeting at Liberty hall.
A friend of the East Oreyonian is
in receipt of a letter from a well
known eastern man, which states that
Elijab. Smith and Ms crowd lost a
million and a half in their attempt to
control the Northern Pacific election
last month, in New York city.
A new tug was launched last week
at Seattle, for towing at Gray's har
bor. She is owned by Preston & Mc
Kinnon. Length, 80 feet; breadth,
18 feet; depth, 7 feet She is of very
light draft, but is fitted with iron
tanks which, when filled with water,
will give her an additional draft of
about two feet. She will be called the
James JI. Coleman.
The question is asked: "Who is
going to provide tickets on election
day? Neither the Eepublican nor
the Democratic committees will do
it." That is so, and yet, somehow, it
is very probable that any one who
wants to vote for or against prohibi
tion on the 8th of next month will
have no difficulty in finding a ticket
for or against the idea.
D. G. Eoss, over on Gray's river,
has a shepherd dog and a hound that
go out occasionally and have great
fun running deer into camp. Last
Saturday they started as usual, the
hound showing up at night, but the
dog was missing. For three days the
poor brute was gone, and a search for
him found him caught by his bushy
tail in a vine and unable to move.
The Loudon Oncers' Gazette of
October 1st, says: "Trade in salmon
is restricted. Orders for absolute re
quirements are all that pass, while
holders confident in the position,
maintain great firmness. For for
ward delivery 28s for outside packs,
and 30a for Columbia river fish are
quoted, and for flat 33s to 35s; but
these prices meet no response from
buyers. We hear that a spot parcel
of Columbia river changed hands this
week at 30s."
Clatsop Connty's Military List.
County clerk Trenchard has a pleas
ant little duty to make out a list of
the names of all the men in the coun
ty subject to military duty. Yester
day morning he had got pretty well
through the "A's." Of forty-two
whose name begins with "A," there
were twenty-fiveAndersons. If a detail
should be made, and the commanding
officer aBk for "private Anderson," he
would have little difficulty in'getting
answer. The making of such a list is
something of a job, as the names must
be arranged in alphabetical order,
and the postofiice address of each one
must be given. The list embraces
those between the ages of 18 and 45,
and when completed will be sent to
adjutantgeneral Shofner. Clatsop
county's list, when completed, will
foot up about one thousand names.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinerj. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading
from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. " And what they do they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumo
nia, 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. There
is just one sure way to get rid of
them. That is to take Boschee's

Have Counted the Cost.
The people of Astoria have sub
scribed $150,000 as a subsidy .to a
railroad. This show3 that the people
of that city down by the sea, know
what it takes to get a new enterprise
to come and drink of the briny wa
ters with her. When a placo takes
deliberate action, counts the costs,
measures up the profits likely to
accrue from having a railroad come
within her limits, and raises that
amount, it will be very apt to make
itself felt as a place full of ener
getic, business men who have un

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
'The Last Man on the Force" Discharged.
The city council met in regular ses
sion last night, Mayor Trullinger in
the chair.
The following communication was
read:
To the Honorable Mayor and Com
mon Council :
Presuming it was the intention of
your honorable body to pay off all
the city bonds, issue of year 1879, as
agent of Mrs. 13. Hamburger, San
Francisco, Cal., I presented to First
National Bank, Astoria, for payment,
citv bonds, viz:
No". 9, Issued July 1st, '79 ... x. ... S 50
" OQ ii ( log
" 19, " '" " " 100
And said bank refused to pay such
bonds, claiming that the call as ad
vertised did not include such num
bers and amounts. The owners of
these bonds are not eager for the pay
ment of them so long as the interest
continues, but if there is any ques
tion regarding the legality of their
issue, they would like to be so in
formed. Respectfully yours,
W. E. Dement,
Agent.
Auditor Jewett made explanation
regarding the same, and, on motion,
the matter was referred to committee
on ways and means. It appears that
there is $500 indebtedness in addition
to that listed, of which the $250 men
tioned above is a portion.
The report of the chief engineer of
the Astoria fire department for year
ending Sept. 30, '87, was read, and, on
motion, received and placed on file,
and recommendations adopted.
A communication was read from
Brown, Bosworth and Bozorth agree
ing to the following modifications in
the proposed street railway franchise:
the fare to be 5 cents, the annual li
cense for each car $35, the road to be
begun in ten days after the passage
of the franchise, and to be completed
in 18S9.
A majority report of the commit
tee to whom was referred the pe
tition ot Messrs. Newell and Conn,
signed by Councilman Sherman,
recommending that au ordinance be
drafted granting them a franchise for
a street railway, providing that the
petitioners give suitable bonds for the
completion of the road within the
time mentioned, and that the time
specified bo altered to thirty years in
stead of fifty, was voted on viva voce
and declared by the mayor to be
adopted.
City treasurer Hustler made quar
terly report of the city finances: re
ferred to appropoiato cemmittee: sup
plementary report shows that since
making report for quarter ending
Sept. 30, '87, taxes were collected as
follews:
General fund S7,2SS
Bend interest fund 1,286
$8,574
An ordinance prohibiting the ob
struction of streets and providing
punishmeut, was read third time and
passed.
An ordinance providing for the
time and manner of improving Con
comly street was read first time and
after some debate was referred to
street committee.
On motion, the auditor, in the ab
sence of the city attorney, was in
structed to alter the ordinance grant
ing a street railway franchise to
Messrs. Conn & Newell in accordance
with the minority report, councilman
Bergman supporting the motion on
the ground that the proposition w:i, j
in his judgment, as modified, better
for the best interests of the city than
previous ones.
Councilman Gratke thought that
no haste was necessary. Auditor
Jewett said that it was n very impor
tant matter, one that required delib
eration, and he would prefer that the
ordinance be gone over and scrutin
ized by the council before final action
was taken.
II was then decided that the matter
be laid over till the next council meet
ing for the ordinance to be remodeled,
and on motion of councilman Cleve
land it waa ordered that when the
council adjourn it be to next Satur
day evening, the 29th inst Council
man Cleveland then moved that the
matter of the ordinance be referred
to committee on health and pelice:
adopted.
The following claims were ordered
paid: Astoria Gaslight Co., $124.25,
S7.70; G. A. Stinson, $12; Carruthers,
McTavish & Co., SI; Griffin & Beed,
SL85; Electric Light Co., $168; H. T.
Hudson, $43.25; sundry persons, prk
on pipe line, S53J5; Murray & Co.,
$29.81: Gutta Percha & Rubber Man
facturmg Co., $13.10; Clatsop Mill Co.
$5.60; M. C. Crosby, S10.50; Wrest
Shore Mills, $29.20; R. R. Marion,
S2.75.
Councilman Carruthers wanted to
know if the committee on health and
police were ready to report regarding
the reduction of the police forca.
Councilman Cleveland said the rec
ommendation of two of the commit
tee was that one man be discharged,
the last one on the force to be the
one discharged.
Councilmanthen Cleveland moved
that the last officer employed on the
city police force be honorably dis
charged. By a vote of four to one,
Councilman Carruthers voting no,
the motion was carried, and the coun
cil adjourned.

Newark, Arlc says: "Was down with
Abscess of Lungs, and friends and phy
sicians pronounced me an Incurable
Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's
