An excursion to celebrate tho com pletion of the California & Oregon railroad will leave San Francisco for Portland on the 12th inst. It is expected that the Dolphin will ply between Gray's harbor and Portland, delivering there lumber sawed at Wilson's Aberdeen mill. C. H. Powell has opened a neat market, corner Water and West 9th streets, which will ba a convenience to residents in that section of the city. The whole number of school child ren in Oregon, in 1883, was 80,018; in 1886, 82,800. This year tho total number is 87,217. Ten yoars ago the number was 50,879. Dr. Baker, who has just returned from Yamhill, says tho Mcilinnville people are greatly pleased at the re sult of the recent election which gives them the county seat Since the night boat started running it is harder than ever to keep posted as to the whereabouts of Astorians, and often one doesn't know that So-and-so is away or has been away un til his or her return. During November twelve grain car goes cleared foreign from the Colum bia, ten wheat vessels, carrving 863, 462 bus., valued at $588,229, and two flour cargoes, 35,169 bbls., worth 8126,862, a total for tho month of 3715,091. Wm. M. Wetherbee, a brief notice of whose death appeared in yester " day's Astorian, was in the 29th year -of his age; he was the oldest of the family of children, five of whom, three boys and two girls, were at one time residents on the lower Columbia river. Very few furs are being brought in to Astoria nowadays, and the receipts from this source yearly grow smaller. But a few seasons ago Hank Blodgett and one or two others used to get some fine sea otter north of Gray's harbor, bnt that animal is now very soaroe in this vicinity. At 2 o'clock this af ternoou, at his auction rooms, E. C. Holden will offer at public auction some very desirable property m upper Astoria, described in detail elsewhere. A clear title will be given for each and every lot, and the sale offers a good opportunity for profitable investment. At a regular convention of Astor Lodge, No. 6, K. of P., last evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: C. C. D. B. Blount; V. C, O. I. Peterson; P., P. F.

A man giving hie name as Andrew Anderson showed up before midnight last night, claiming that he was rolled and robbed of $140. a check for $75 that he had got from Vin.

BJBBBiaat tun at i n There was a time when the paper collar reigned supreme. It encircled the masculine neck from Maine to Oregon, and attained great popularity as an article of feminine attire; nested in boxes of eery variety of"color and style of adornment, it added attract iveness to the f ttrnishing-storo w m dows, in its decaying stages it filled gutters, lent variety to the ash heaps and dotted the landscapo along the lino of every railroad in the country. dividing honors across the western plains with tho tiu can. Its strong hold was in tho crowded metropolis, but its trail extended iuto the remot est backwoods district. It would seem, con&idering this immense pop ularity, that -ur. Meserole, the inven tor ot the collar, must have been in sured against poverty for the rest of his days, but such, it seem?, is not the case. A bigamy trial in New York, in which a member of the fam ily is involved, brings out the fact that the wealth which accrued from the patent has, like the collar itself, vanished, no man can say whither; that the Meseroles have uothing left but character, and if the bigamy trial is an indication, not much of that Perhaps there is a retribution in this.

Washington, Nov. 29. Senator Mitchell will introduce a bill at the first opportunity after congress as sembles to repeal all laws, whether treaties or acts ot congress, which permit Chineso immigration. This is tho bill which ho introduced at the last session of congress. He said this afternoon tt at the general impression that his bill would prohibit commerce between China and tho United States is erroneous. It will only iudirectly have a bearing on the trado relation's of the two countries, m so far as it absolutely prohibits the coming of Chinese to this country, except those who come in government capacities. John Sherman js chairman of the committee on foreign relations, and as he desires to please both the east and west in his action on tho Chinese question, it is not probable that he will go to the length reached by sen ator Mitchell's bill. It is understood that saator Sherman is in favor of some amendueuts to tho present act which will effectually exclude Chinese from this country, and which at the hanie time will not offend the senti ments ot tho east. Senator Mitchell will introduce a bill to protect purchasers of land from tho Northern Pacific railroad, in case there is forfeiture of the land granted to that carporation between Wnllula and Portland. He will also introduce a bill to reimburse settlera on even numbered sections of public laud within the limits of the land grants in ease of forfeiture ot odd numbered sections. This bill is in tended to reimburse those settlers who were compelled to pay $2,150 per aero for public land within tho limits ot land grants which subsequently be came ferfeited: settlers receiving no benefit by the building of a railroad because none was built, while other public land has been sold at S1.25 per acre. Senator Mitchell will introduce a bill making an appropriation for tho establishment of a life-saving station and life-saving crew at Yaquina bay, Oregon. xIso a bill to provide for the erec tion of a public building for a cus tom house at Yaquina bay. Also, a bill to provido for the ap propriation of 81,300,000 for continu ing the improvement, of the mouth ot tho Columbia river. Also 8750, 000 for improvement of the locks of the Cascades, and also an appropria tion for Yaquina aud Coos bays. He will introduce tho bill which w:is favorably reported by a senate committee during the last nes3on of congress appropriating 8500,000 for the construction of n boat railroad at the dalles ot the Columbia. Also a bill to amend section 3,010 of tho revised statutes relating to drawbacks ou dutiable- imported ma terials when manufactured and ex ported. This bill is designed to be of benefit to cauners ot sa.mou who use tin, upon which a duty has been paid. Ho will also introduce a bill appro priating sufficient money for the final survey and estimates for the improve ment of tho TJmpqua river for light draught steamers, the surveys and estimates to bo separate, ono beiug between tho mouth of the river and Scottsbnrg, aud the other between Scottsbnrg and Hart's rapids, near Elkton. He will also introduce a joint reso lution for the appointment of a com mission by the secretary of tho navy for the purpose of selecting a site for a naval station on the Pacific coast. He will also introduce a bill author izing tho construction of a railroad through the Cceur d'Aleno Indian reservation. Also a bill for tho relief ot settlers on school lands in Washington terri tory. Also a bill appropriating sufficient money for the resurvey and reloca tion, shortening and improvement of tho military wagon road between Rogue river valley and Fort Klamath, Oregon. Also a bill appropriating money for the purpose of a, site and the "con struction of a wharf for the use of the light house department at Asto ria. In Hrief, and to The Point Dyspepsia is dreadful.

"So you never drink, Mr. Dryden?" said a Dnlnth maiden to her casual acquaintance as he turned down his glass at a recent party. "I had a classmate ruined with wine and have pledged myself never to taste it again, Miss Waterby." "Well, you're a man after my own heart" "And when can I have it?" ho asked softly. She blushed a dainty beauty-tinted blush but her muff was big euough for two that night, and now there is another cottage being built, and she says it is after her own heart too.
