The Yamhill de lay, the freeze-up and other little con tingencies delayed matters some, but up to last night sheriff Boss had col lected $38,252,96, whioh, under the circumstances, is believed to be pretty good.

Talkincr of salmon, tho London Grocers Gazette of the 24th ult says: "Although the weather has been very adverse to business in salmon, a mod erate business has been done by deal ers, who, we are glad to observe, are more desirous, by working on their stocks at present remunerative prices, to supply their regular customers rather than turn over large blocks speculatively, and thus enhance rul ing rates. By cautious action we think that prices will not be raised, although lower values can hardly be expected." Artioleg of incorporation were filed in the territorial secretary's office at Olympiaon the 13th, incorporating tho Ulymma. Grav's Hnrhnr & "Rater's Bay Bailway company. The incor porators are N. H.

The othermorning the carrier wassiok so the editor turned in and carried the paper himself and delivered it at the doors of his subscribers, and the next morning made modest mention of the fact and hoped that nobody was missed. Now there's some style about an editor like that. Most news paper men are ready to let go about the time the forms are made up. or a little sooner, but here's a chap that carries the paper after it's printed. 'Tis not in mortals to command suc cess, but such a rustler cortninly de serves it. Tho state military board adjourned Wednesday, after a two davs' session. Tho principal work of tho board con sisted in auditing bills for the past quarter. Tho companies of the First regiment were allowed iu the aggre gate $717.40; those of the Second S82G30, and those of tho Third S52G. In the allowance of the Second regi ment is to be included $200 for the uniforms of tho regimental band, and $300 for tho uniforms ot company K. Tho board made a ruling that dis charges from the Oregon national guard must bo made and signed at regimental headquarters. A volun tary absence without leave for thirty days constitutes sufficient ground for a dishonorable discharge. Tho oommittco on public lands heard congressman Hermann last Friday on the bill to confirm titles to certain donation claims in Oregon and Washington territory, settled up on by early settlers, to whom certifi cates were issued by tho surveyor general, and especially as it affects the titles of the widows and orphans ot those who died while en route to those sections. Many valuable farms aro without patent or title from the government Under the more liberal construction of the law before the ad vent of commissioner Sparks, patents were issued, but since then all entries have been suspended and held for cancellation. The committee, after hearing argument, authorized Mr. Hermann to report the bill for final passage. A patent has been granted to Cap tain Timothy Akin, n New Bedford pilot, for a rocket, or projectile, made ot metal and filled with oil, whioh is to be thrown from the shore near or around vessels that are stranded. It can be thrown from the same gun that throws the life-line across stranded vessels. The rocket sinks in the ocean and the oil that is con tained therein escapes and floats on the surface, which makes tho surface comparatively smooth and stops the sea from breaking, thus enabling the life-saving crew to work in smooth water while they arc engaged in their perilous duty going to and from the stranded vessel saving life. Captain Akin has tried them and they work well. He intends sending them to the different life-saving stations so that they can be fairly tested and tried. PERSONAL MENTION.

Tlic Answer To This Is The Measure Onr Confidence In The Fnture. Of In yesterday's Astobian appeared a communication entitled "Of Impor tance to Astoria.' A private letter from a man well in formed on the snbject,.in discoursing upon this same matter, says, among other things: 'Ten years ago 1 was engaged in surveying much ot the country be tween your city ot Astoria and J; orest Grove, and became so impressed with its advantages tnat x then decided to make it my home; and this I have done, and a more thorough knowl edge ot its resources confirms the judgment I then formed. "It has always been known that the naturally commanding position of Astoria entitled it to high rank as a seaport and commercial center among tne cities 01 tne iacinc coast. And it has just as well been understood that years ago she would have reached tnat rant it the Uregon Central rail road from the interior had been built on to its natural terminus at Astoria, instead ot turning a right angle at Forest Grove and terminating at a point on tho Willamette river. Men intrusted with railroad building have for twenty years past almost invaria bly pursued sohemes of town-build- mg for private speculation, and the interest of the country and the best interest of the corporation they man age are betrayed, and only conduoted to serve thtir private interest. ''These men are still intent npon the samo purpose, older in years, but stronger than ever before in wealth and influence. "Astoria is the only point in Ore gon that seriously menaces or threat ens to become independent ot Port land. And tho 'dog in the manger' principles of these men had rather see the country south and east of As toria sunk in the ocean than see it contributo its resources and trade to a point not dependent upon Portland. "Their influence has, at first, de layed, and has now, as they believe, defeated tho project of Astoria's di rect connection with the interior of the state by rail to Forest Grove. "They promise that when your city needs a railroad they will run one down the Columbia river from Port land, but their present movement is to ostensibly favor a road to Astoria, but it must have no direct or practic able connection with the interior, bnt may leave the Oregon Central road in Yamhill county, cros3 over the Coast range, thence along tno coast to Tillamook bay and up tho coast to Astoria. But letters from the east inform me that "Tills mook bay is the assured termi nus ' and is represented as "the site of a seaport city of wonderful pros pects." At points 2,000 miles east of here this is talked of mnch more than here in Oregon, nnd eastern men have been induced already to make con siderable investments and to engage in the 'boom.' "It subscribers to the Astoria sub sidy remain firm and insist upon con nection with tho transcontinental roads by way of Forest Grove, it will bo built first; otherwise it will come, but its coming will bo delayed and delayed, so as not to bo seen in your day or mine." An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be af flicted? It you will remember a few years ago tho word Malaria was com paratively unkuown, to-day it is as common ns any word in the English language, yet this word covers only tho meaning of another word nsed by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, .13 they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Billiousness, and all are caused, by troubles that arise from a diseased condition ot the Liver which in performing its func tions finding it cannot dispose of the b.le through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Billious Fever, etc. Yon who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. Wo recommend Green's Au gust Flower. Its cures are mar velous. All the Same Tit Willow. Iu the Ways and Means Chairman Mills thought it a hit. To sing wool, oh! freo wool, oh! free wool oh!
