w v r-o ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY, XOVE.MP.EJt 2, 18S7 Calendars for 'SS are arriving. The boya are catching crawfish. Geese were flying north yesterday. - The county commissioners meet to day. All three amendments deserve de feat. A school holiday is asked for nest Tuesday. Bricklaying on the new gas work? is about done. Gov. Pennoyer'a thanksgiving proc lamation is due. The telegraph. line went down at G: 15 last evening. The W- T. board pilot commission ers meet to-morrow. Dead mallard ducks are plenty: canvasbacks are scarce, dead or alive. "A blind pool' is what the Olympia Partisan calls our railroad subsidy: ThatHbeallright Griffin & Reed are moving into the brick building, corner Third and Genevieve streets. Yesterday the feast of All Saints wa3 observed with appropriate cere monies at the Catholic church. General A. B. Campbell, of Kansas, will deliver a lecture on prohibition at Liberty Hall at 7:30 this evening. The ship Argyleshire cleared from Victoria for London on tbelst with 31,104 cases salmon, valued at S175, 000. Messrs. A. V. K. and G. W. Snyder, of the Transcript, begin this after noon, the publication of a daily edi tion. A steamer came down at ten last night for a surgeon to attend a young man who broke his leg yesterday evening at Skamokawa. Prophecies are made that the com ing winter will be a stormy one. Whatever the winter, the summer and fall were remarkably fine and dry. A. L. Maxwell has been appointed general passenger and ticket agent of the O. K. & N. Co., in the place made vacant by the resignation of ,T. .T. Byrne. Across the plump jersey of one of the salvation army is the startling scarlet legend: "There is no water in hell." So that institution has gone dry, has it ! Messrs. Conn and Newell start for Portland this morning to inquire into the purchase of material for the street railway on -which they propose to begin immediate operations. James A. Fo3ter, a government en gineer employed during the past sum mer on the jetty at Yaquiua bay, is at Portland, almost totally blind from exposure to the constant glare of the sun upon the water of the bay, caus ing enlargement of the pupils of the eye. The mails are late, these Xovember days. The route between this city and Portland should be expedited about $20,000 worth. Then we'd get our mail earlier. It's worth over three time3 the present price paid to carry the mail as it ought to ba car ried between here and Portland. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, says the News of the 1st, the steamer JIanzanillo struck Taylor's reef, near St. Helens, staving a small hole in the port side, forward. "Water poured in the hold, and Geo. Shaver, who was at the wheel, beached the steam er. A heavy fog overcast the river at the time. A lot of old junk, comprising keys rings, buttons, etc., left at this office for identification, will bo closed out to cash bidders at two o'cloak this af ternoon. After that dato Tiie Asto itux will not be responsible for any articles herebeforo handed in to be claimed or identified. A choice lot of manuscript, however, is in the ice chest. One of the necessities between here and Portland is a boat leaving in the evening and arriving in the morning. As it is now a business man loses a day going up and a day coming back. "With a night boat on the route trav eling could bo done at night -while asleep, or awake, as the case may be, and the day devoted to business, in stead of yawning about the boat the greater part of the day as at present. For the foundations of the brick building, corner Cass and Chenamus, 288 piles have been driven; there are 180 more to drive. When sawed off and capped they -will form a substan tial foundation on -which to begin building next spring. The piles for the brick next to the Kinney building are driven with the exception of fif teen or twenty. At low tide it looks like a partially submerged forest. The United States fish commis sion's steamS' j.lbatrossmllsa.il from "Washington for San Francisco on the 20th. She will reach her destination about the first of May. Her route will be through the straits of Magel lan. She will make no intermediate stops, it being desired that she should reach the Pacific slope at the earliest possible moment Professor A. Lee will have charge of the scientific corps ot the expedition. The object of the expedition is, briefly, to devel op the fisheries of the Pacific slope. The Albatross will be employed for two years on the Paoiflc coaBt. The London Grocer of Oct 8th, says of the market in that city: Holders of salmon are still screwing the market up tightly as possible, and higher prices are asked even'- where, so that the lowest figures now spoken of are 2i5rr3 for "outside ' fish, 31& 32s for Columbia river, and 32(7j33s for Hat tins of really choice quality; but the transactions effected are of small extent. Of the Liver pool maiket the same authority S3ys: The general business in salmon is satisfactory, showing the usual steady demand at ike present season. The anticipated yield of Alaska fish has not been realized, so that there is now no possibility of making up any deficiency, and the usual supplies of this country will probably not exceed one-half the average of the preceding five years. I'i:kson'aIj mention. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Fox have re turned to the city. Eev. W. L. McEwau, of Walla Walla, ha3 tendered his resignation as rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church. .7. W. Hume, Nat.

The Tower of Concentration. I believe the men who rule ihe world are those who have got the power of concentration. That is not to decry the power of word painting. When you wish the people to see the truth, you must not spare the color ing. Iteration and reiteration are the only ways of geltinga ball through the steel plated brains of bigots. Hit a spot once, they are mad; twice they shiver and stagger; three times, they are terrified nud say if he hits there again he'll be through, sure; four times, and you penetrate. But the ball must bo concentrated and solid. The power and influence of the newspaper has been of necessity to teach concentration. Nearly its whole make-up is itemized. One murder, ten lines; a political speech of three hours, fourteen lines; the doings of congress for a whole day, half a col umn; railroad affairs for the whole United States, itemized in two col umus; editorials short and pithy and pungent. Everything must be so ar ranged that you can read at a glance. This is no trifling matter, dear reader, and you know it right well. Lifo is short. There are GO.000 Eng lish words, not counting 10,000 slang words. The possible permutations and combinations of all these is in computable. No author, speaker or writer should undertake to haudle words except just enough to express an exact idea. Globe-Democrat. All IJets Were Off. According to n recent letter Larry Jerome's latest story about high life in New York is rapidly going the rounds. It seems that the artistic Mrs. Yauastorbilk has a telephone in her house, and, as the meat had not arrived for dinner tip to five o'clock, she telephoned the central office and was put into communication with the butcher. "Wall?" drawled tho butcher over the wire. "Where is that meat that was or dered for Mrs. Vanastorbilk this morning?"' "It'll be at the house in ten min utes." "I am afraid you will disappoint me." "Wall, you can bet your sweet life, me daisy, that I won't disappoint you, for I'm stuck on your shape." A shriek, and then the query, "Do you know to whom you are talking, sir?" "Of course I do. I am talking with the cook." "No, you're not; you're talking with Mrs. Vanastorbilk." "Wall, in that case," was the cheer ful response, "all bets are off." Attention, Co. "II." There will be a regular business meeting of Co. "H," O. N. G., at the armory this evening at 8 o'clock. A full attendance is requested. Bj order A. E. Shaw, Cammanding. Notice.

TJie Secretary of "War Declines to Sus pend the Order. CapL Gray was last evening in re ceipt of a letter from Senator Dolph who, under dato of Washington, D. C, Oct 24th, says, relative to the proposed removal of the garrison from the fert: "I called Saturday on the secretary or war and filed the telegrams and a written protest against tho removal of the troops from Fort Cauby, and used such arguments against it as occurred tome. The secretary was not familiar with the matter, but promised to take it under considera tion. Gen. Sheridan was out of the city. I called at the war department again to-day and filed a telegraphic remonstrance from the board of trade of Portland, and had an interview with Gen. Drum, to whom I was in formed, the papers had been referred. I presented to both the secretary and Gen. -Drum such reasons as oc curred to me against the removal. I shall endetivor to see Gen. Sheridan as soon as he returns to the city." WHERE THE bCHEilE STARTED. "I learned," continues Senator Dolph," that Gen. Howard on the 29th of August, based in part upon tho report of au inspector as to tho condition of the government building at lort Uanby and the amount neces sary to provide suitable quarters there and the unusual cost of transporta tion, recommended the removal of tho garrison to California. On the 12th of September Gen. Sheridan sub mitted tho recommendation to tho secretary of war with favorable in dorsement, and it was returned with the approval of the acting secretary of war on the 23th of September. The movement is also in accordance with the policy of the department, which is to consolidate the military posts and concentrate the troops." "You will see, therefore, that it is doubtful about my being able to se cure the revocation of an order made with all the formalities of military routine, and recommended by the di vision commander. I wa3 told to day tho commander of the depart ment of the Columbia also recom mended tho removal." REFUSES TO INTERFERE. About the same time that Capt. Gray got the above last evening, he received the following telegram: "Washington-, D. C, Nov. 1. 'S7. Hon. J. II. J). Gray: Unable to see tho secretary to-day, but learn that he declines to suspond the order. J. N. Dolto. So that unless the secretary of war reconsiders his refusal or declination to suspend the order of removal, the fort at the north entrance to tho Co lumbia river is to be virtually aban doned, an unwarrantable proceeding, which, under the circumstances, seems likely to come to pass. Bat It Isn't Even Good Ecouorav. The proposed evacuation of Fort Oanby at the mouth of the Columbia is in accordance with the policy of concentrating the army at a few largo posts. The policy 13 good as a measure of economy, and in offering bettor op portunity for instruction in regimen tal and grand tactics, but it hardly warants the abandonment of a harbor defense position covering the outlet of a great shipping district, and the terminus of a transcontiual railroad S. F. Bulletin, Oct. 2.1. A Sort of Snap Jndginenr. Mr. Donald Macleay, president of the board of trade, has received a let ter from Senator Dolph stating that it will not be an easy matter to get the war department to revoke the or der to abandon Fort Canby. Such abandonment was recommended to Gen. Howard by an inspector. Gen. Howard indorsed the recommenda tion to Gen. Sheridan, nnd he in turn indorsed to tho secretary of war. It will be seen that much has to be un done to prevent the post being aban doned. Oregonian, 1. Give Them u Chance! That is to say, your lungs. Also all your breathing machinery. 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 aro clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half dotheir 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 Bosghee's German Syrup, which any druggist will sell yon at -75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you, yon may depend upon this for certain. Kmr Paper. We knew it would come. The an nouncement has been made that a paper coffin has been invented and put upon the market A man may now build his house of paper, eat his dinner from paper plates, wipe his face with a paper handkerchief, buy his wife a paper piano and go to his grave in a paper coffin. Tho coffin may be paid for with a piece of paper and the death published on another piece. There are few things more useful than paper.

Ever since I can remember, my mother has suffered from milk leg. Nothing would do her any good. She had the best medical tal ent, but they all did her no good.
