Family trouble. The Astoria street railway com pany yesterday filed their acceptance of the franchise' recontly granted them by the city council, and a bond of $5,000 as required by the ordi nance. The company is possessed of plenty capital, will not have to issue bonds, nor dispose of stock and the intention is to make prompt begin ning in ine enterprise. Though it is annoying to have the line down between here aud Port land yet it must be remembered that it is a rough country to keep a line repaired in. Last Sunday after the big wind, a line man sent out to make repairs found in one little stretch near Oak Point, seven trees prostrate across the line. It is to be hoped that the delay will be but temporary. The TJ. S. fish commissioners want to establish a salmon hatchery on the Clackamas. The one that the state has established there is aided largely by the salmon canners of As toria and the lower Columbia. Unit ed States government aid if made effective and sufficient, "could estab lish and maintain a hatchery that would be of material aid in the im portant matter of salmon propagation in the Columbia river. The special session of tbe Oregon state -temperance alliance, ordered by the last regular session of the alli ance, will convene in Portland, Ore gon, Tuesday, Nov. 22. 1887, at 1030 a. m.

Delegates for the county allianco may bo ap pointed by the president. It is believed in "Washington, that the Alaska part of the fisheries con tention will not be considered at the coming fisheries conference. The reason for this belief is that the de partment of state has not called up on the treasury department for any reports or facts in connection with the seizures by the revenue cutters. Should the commissioners arrive at an understanding very quickly, then me .iiasKan question may oe orougnt up, but otherwise nok The four best items in last Tues day's Telegram were scooped bodily out of The Astobiak without a word of credit. The Astobiax got used to that sort of thing long ago, and doesn't mind it, and isn't kicking now, but if at any time between now and New Year's any little up or down country exohange happens to lift a poor little two-line item out of our esteemed contemporary the Telegram, please Mr. Telegram don't sit down too hard on the aforesaid u. o. d. c. e. Let us bear and forbear. "A Cennlnc Diamond.' Messrs. Strauss and Selig received a dispatch from Seattle yesterday signed "It Germain," saying that Maud Granger "had lost a valuable diamond star in Astoria last Mon day night, and for a search to bo made, a reward offered and the police"notified. It is such a common advertising scheme for prominent actresses-to lose "diamonds," that for a moment it waB not entirely credited. But Messrs. Selig and Clinton conclnded the thing was worth its face and started to search in the most natural placo in the world the dressing room in the opera house, occupied by Maud Granger in the arrangement of her stunning costumes last Monday even ing. There in an unnoticed corner lay the missing jewel, a magnificent five pointed star, flashing with dia monds. The owner was immediately notified of the safety of her gems, and this morning the star, which Gustavo Hansen pronounces to be composed of genuine diamonds, will bo for warded to its gifted owner. So that for once at least, tho Btory of an actress losing her diamonds is literally true. Arrival of the Corwin. The revenue cutter Thof. Uorwiii arrived yesterday afternoon from San Francisco, and it was with sur prise and regret that tho officers learned that it had been reported that the vessel had met with an acci dent off the bar. Mr. Kelly the chief engineer, says there was not a grain of truth in the report. They left San Francisco on the 5th inst.. put in at Humboldt bay, examined tho life stations there, from there steamed to Coos bay, leaving there yesterday morning. The Corwin will make but a brief stay here this time, but so soon as repairs to the Rush are com pleted, she will return here, some time iu December, and winter at As toria. Birthday Party. There was a pleasnt party at the residence of J. C. Fox last evening, the occasion being the sixteenth birthday of his son Fred, who was the recipient of gratulations and a fine array of presents, among which was a gold watch from his grandmother Landess. Among those present were Misses Minnie Hob3on, Aggie Stock ton, Lottie Levings, Nannie Beed, Katie Grant, Josio Dealy, Mamie Fan non, Daisy Stockton, and Geo. Ste vens, Otto Prail, Ed. Beed, Frank Bucker, Paul Badollet, Wilber Bab- and others. The Rural Districts Voted "No." In Douglas county the result is yet uncertain. Drain surprised its friends by not giving a majority for prohibition. The town wont almost solid for it, but most of the conntry vote that came in was "anti." -Ei'ho, 11. Incoming Passenger?.

Its 1oeal Efficiency IhTo Be Improved. Tho present visit of the Corwin is to result in an improvement of the life saving service on this northwest c6ast to a degree approaching in im portance the magnitude of the inter ests involved. Major Blakeney, the superintendent of the service on this coast is zealous in constant effort to increase the efficiency of that branch of govern ment work, and has succeeded in im proving it in a marked degree. His mission this time is to select, iu conjunction with the other offi cers, a site for the new life station to be built at Fort Stevens. The money for this was appropriated at the first session of the XLIX congress, and is immediately available. Mr. Von Beyer has the plans already partially prepared and the idea is, after the exact site has been determined upon, to go ahead with the work as speed ily as possible. The Cape Hancock station is also to be looked after. Major Blakeney rightly considers this station to be second in importance to none on the coast He realizes its requirements, and had he the power would have long since given it the conveniences and improvements its importance demands. He hopts, however, this time to be able to have the life crew transferred to better quarters. The building they now ocoupy was con demned fourteen years ago, as unfit for use then: in the interim it cer tainly has not improved in commo dious residence for men. Ho also intends to arrange for tho bnilding of a house on tho beach and a more convenient arrangement of surf boat, thus doing away with tho present tedious delay of portage. It is the further intention to estab lish a life saving station on tho weather beach, almost directly in front of the residence of L. A. Loom is. Thero is an existing need for a station in that vicinity, and it is be lieved that proper representations to Supt. Kimball at Washington will cause the placing of a crew and suit able accommodations at that point. Tho establishment of a life saving station at Gray's harbor is also recog nized by Major Blakeney as a neces sity and on this trip the preliminary steps will be taken to secure one there for the protection of life and property of our neighboring coasting and shipping interests. The station at Neah bay is a con tinual aunoyanco by reason of its in efficiency in its present situation. It was poorly located at tho start, and till it i3 changed satisfactory results cannot bo expected. From here Messrs. Blakeny and Von Beyer go this morning to Shoal water bay; after this vicinity has been inspected they will go to tho Sound, and on their return on the Corwin will stop at Yaquina, where it is believed a life saving station could be located to advantage. Upon their return to San Francis co report will be made of the entire trip. This is tho most extensive and im portant visit of this nature for sever al years. The Corwin was detailed for this special service and will con vey the members of the party to and from all the various stations on this northwest coast Tho government recognizes Hie im portance and pressing necessity of the work, and it is believed that active measures will shortly be taken to iu crease and aid its successful opcrr. tion.

Miss Hattie Boss is visiting friends j in this city. Major T. J. Blakeney, inspector life saving service of this district, arrived on the Corwin yesterday afternoon. Mr. Von Beyer, civil engineer aud chief draughtsman in the U. S. life savins service office, arrived on tho Corwin yesterday. In Hricr, and to The Point. Dj-spepsia is dread f ul. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is n foe to good nature. 'lhehumau digestive apparatus is one of the mo3t complicated and wonderfnl things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and nany other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a na tion of dyspeptics. But Green's August m Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Remember: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. (Joins To The Soath. Capt. Bichardson, of the Manzan ito, expects to get away to-morrow on a trip to tho south, with light house supplies. Ho has on board a keeper for a southern coast light house, and will take from Cape Han cock, Keeper Carlson, who has been transferred to Cape Arago. The Dfanzanita will go to tho extreme limit of the district and on her re turn will replace buoys at Coos bay, Alsea, Yaquina aud elsewhere. The district is largo enough and has work enough for two such vessels as the Dfanzanita, and a proper recog nition by the government of the amount of work required would place an additional vessel in this district.
