'Tve sold more goods so far in '87
than I did iu '86," was a remark heard
more than once by the writer yester
day. Dr. Alfred Kinney, chairman of the
Democratic county central commit
tee, issues a call for a mass meeting
at Ross' opera house next Friday eve
ning to nominate candidates for the
municipal offices at the coming city
election.
It was reported yesterday on good
authority that Messrs. Horton & Co.,
representing the Truckee Lumber
Co., who bought an eligible saw mill
site at upper Astoria sometime ago,
propose building a large mill there in
the spring.
At the New York Novelty store is a
choice array of holiday goods of every
conceivable description. There is an
immense stook to choose from and all
tastes can be satisfied by an inspec
tion of the new and really fino goods
displayed.
A new brass band is talked of.
Nothing like progress, and all that,
but yet, wouldn't it be better to pat
ronize well the excellent band we
have now and make them feel that they
are appreciated, than to start up a ri
val concern?
Plans are drawn for the remodeling
ot 2's engine house for the accommo
dation of tho horses, tho Silsby, the
hook and ladder truck and necessary
accoutrements. Tho fund for the
purchase of the horses and harness is
now over $700, and will go higher.
There was a break in the water
pipe from the Welch hill reservoir
yesterday, about 40 feet of pipe on
WestSth street south from the hy
drant tumbling down and necessitat
ing a temporary shutting off of the
supply while repairs wore being
made.
The barometer yesterday afternoon
was about as low as it ever gets here,
registering 29. The storm flag was
flying all day and tilings looked
squally seaward. A misty scarf of
sparkling rainbows played up and
down the stream in the afternoon,
and the green waves foamed and
lapped the bows of the vessels.
The Union says that the applica
tions for the entry of indemnity lauds
are still being received at the land
office in Walla Walla at the rate of
15 or 20 a day. Altogether, applica
t ons havo been received to the num
ber of abo it 425, and in each case the
Northern Pacific company havo beeu
notified, and the application is held
for hearing.
Pursuant to adjournment, tho
county court convened yesterday
morning, but was unable to set the
long expected tax levy by reason of
the remissness of the Yamhill county
assessor, who appears unable to dis
tinguish between time and eternity,
and has not yet furnished the required
copy of that county's assessment roll
to the state officials. The commis
sioners will make another and a final
attempt on the 10th inst.

"She was on that -awful bar" is the
mendacious title of an item copied
into the Tacoma Ledger, regarding
the libelling of the Ecclefechan by
J. N. Knowlea. The ship was not
within fourteen miles of the bar at
the timo tbo eernco was rendered,
and the Ledger knows this very well.
It is simply another effort on the
part of the Ledger to direct atten
tion away from 1VI terriblo north
coast, where- Ptriou- marine disasters
are so common that the occurence of
less than three a week is so nnnual
as to at ouce attract notice.
Among the present inmates of the
county bastile is a gentlemau named
Rhody, who last Wednesday night
appeared on the stage at the Salva
tion army barracks as an alleged,
lover of tho Lord, and yesterday
morning was given protection, as ex
hibiting symptoms of insanity. lip
is chuck full of enthusiasm and is
certaiu that hi3 Redeemer liveth.
The poor fellow seems to have it bad.
and is a pitiable example of perveited
piety. At present it looks as though
he was qualifying for tho asylum. If
ho hasn t gone crazy, he hasn't got
far to go.

"There must have beeu a heavv
blow outside, to-duy, the first one
Tve missed this season," said one of
the pilots last evening. "Tho Sun

about 25 miles oh" tho !r. We had
sighted a vessel, but on getting up to

of what we afterwards found was the

awhile it was a big fire in Astoria'
Demand For Coal.
There is a scarcity of coal iu this
market at present, owing to the non
arrival of ships laden with that arti
cle. There is any number of coal mines
in this state which need developing.
A geologist who has just returned
from examining coal deposits In Co.
lumbia county reports very favorably
concerning them. Tho Toutle Coal
company are opening their mine,
and if it proves as good as
they expect will have a tendency to
prevent coal famine here in tho fu
ture. The Bucoda mine is pntting
out 170 tons per day, most of which
is used on the Northern Pacific rail
road. At present they could sell 100
tons more per day it they ooald get it
out. Oregoniari, J.
The Witness Was Kxciwil.
A Tacoma lawyer, while testifying
in the district court yesterday as to
the reputation otone'of the parties to
the case being heard, said:
"He always keeps his word."
"What do you mean by that?" in
quired tho attorney.
"Well, ho always comas to me for
advice, and every time ho does so he
says he will not be able to pay me
anything, and he always keeps his
word.'
The witness was excused. Swttle

Give Tlicm a 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
ot 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
German Syrup, which any druggist
will sell yon at 75 cents a bottle.
Even if everything else has failed
you, you may depend upon this for
certain.
Whore Oar Lands Have Gone.
The United States at ono time
owned seven hundred million acres
of public lands. Nominal settlers
have had one-third of it. Ono hun
dred and sixty-one million acres have
gone to the states. Sixty-seven mill
ion acre3 have gone for bounties, wa
terways and highways. About one
hundred miliiens are left unclaimed.
The railroad kings havo gobbled the
rest through corrupt legislation.
While American soldiers were dying
in corps to preserve eleven states to
the Union, American monopolists
were stealing from tho soldiers' or
phans enough territory for twelvo
new states.
