Advices from Bugby, between Clif
ton and Westport, are to the effect
that James Cusiok, of Knappa,has
succeeded in opening np an excel
lent quarry at that point, and one
that the report states can furnish
suitable and sufficient rock for the
Fort Stevens jetty.
There was a man brought down
from a logging camp near Knappa on
yesterday afternoon's boat who was
badly hurt. While cutting a vine
maple, a limb struck him in the face
and stunned him, and the ax falling
from his nerveless grasp imbedded
itself in his breast, inflicting a ghast
ly wound. He was taken to the hos
pital and may recover.

There were five bids received by

other improvements and repairs im
peratively needed. The root leaks

There Bhould be another story built
on, and a new roof placed; unless
that is done the delay will cause nec

on. Beside, when the earth is filled
up three feet higher than at present,
the building will present a very
squat appearance, and symmetry, no
less than economy, calls for a new
roof.

dollars down and aggregated twenty
five thousand dollars. One thousand

THE FIREMEN'S TOUKNAMENT.
Why
The Location Was Changed From
Portland to Seattle,
Mr. Edward Holman, who was engaged
in collecting a fund for prizes for the
firemen's tournament, yesterday received
the following dispatch from Mr. F. L,
Parker, secretary of tho Firemen's Asso
ciatien:
Asioeia May SO.
Have changed tournament to Seattle.
Particulars by mail.
Mr. Holman knew nothing more about
tho matter. He said all he bed to do was
to return their money to people who had
paid their subscriptions to the fund.
it is tnougnt mat tnere is some collu
sion between the official? of the Fire
men's Association at Astoria and some
one at Seattle. The alleged exouse of
fered that Portland had not raised the
amount required by a certain date is
considered too thin. There is plenty of
time before the tournament comes oil to
raisa all the money required. No special
effort has been made to collect a fund
for this purpose as yet. There were so
many collections being made for different
purposes that it was thought best to wait
a little in this matter. Our citizens have
been subscribine half a million for a
hotel, $150,000 for the Industrial Fair
$l,(j0O for the relief of the sufferers at
Uoldendale, W. T., a fund for the Mem
orial day celebration and another for the
Pioneer reunion. All these oome off be
fore the firemen's tournament and all
have been provided for and so would the
firemen,
President Jos. J. Meagher of the Vol
nnteer Firemen's Association of this
city has received no notification of the
tournament being removed, and the
members of the association say they
don't know who has authority to make
any such announcement. The directors
of the state Firemen's Association
placed the matter of making arrange
nents for the tournament in the hands
of the Volunteer Firemen's Association
here, and the appointing of the com
mittees in the hands of tho president
Before any change can be made there
will have to bo some action on tho part
of those authorized to make a chango.
Oregonian, May 31.
Referring to tho above. Frank L.
Parker, the secretary of the associa
tion, was interviewd. Thefollowmci3
111s statement:
"When the board of directors met
in Portland last September, state
ments were made by members of the
Volunteer Firemen's Association
that Portland would rniso for tourna
ment purposes 3,000. On those
grounds was Portland offered tho
tournament; 'twas set for September,
1888. Later tho Volunteer Associa
tion was placed in control of tho
affairs nnd wanted to change to June,
and guaranteed within ten days to
raise the purse to S1.000. This time
they were granted. But the board
in subsequent session instructed me
as secretary that in caso the 31,000
was not raised in the ten days to
correspond with Seattle and see
what she would do toward having the
tournament there, and if bIio would
put up 82,000. On nnything less than
1,000 we could not get any com
peting teams, as they cannot come
unless there is n show for them to
make nt least traveling expenses.
"Wlien the ten days were un tho
finance committee were communi
cated with as to tho funds raised and
they answered $120.
''In compliance with the instructions
of the board I wired Seattle what
she would do, and answer came that
in ten minutes fe'.J,UUU was raised.
Hence the change.
"Tne change was not made to throw
slurs at the Portland Volunteer As
sociation, but the slur is on Portland
for her penurious habits."
Tne above are the omcial facts, it
is evident that there was no desire on
the part of those in charge, other
than the very proper realization of
the fact that they would place them
selves in a ridiculous position to an
nounce prizes and ability to award
them to successful contestants, till
they knew positively where tho
money was coming from. A nice fix,
indeed, they would be in, to have me
winning teams come up smiling for
the coin they won, and have to say
"Boys, we're real sorry, but Portland
didn t raise the money, and the fact is
we can't pay you."
This is what tho directors would
risk had they given Portland the
tournament; this risk they avoided
by locating it at Seattle, where the
money is already hung up, and as
sured, and while Astoria regrets that
there should be any misunderstand
ing about it, it certainly seems that
in place of being blamed, and "collu
sion" suggested, the directors deserve
praise for looking out so carefully for
the interests of the association. They
don't care a continental in the matter
beyond doing what they can for the
association, and guarding its inter
ests. That's what they're for.

Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thinghos caused such
a general revival of trade at Jno. C. De
ment's Drug Store as their giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
Yon can test it before buying by getting
a iriai oottie iree, large size si. livery

An Explanation.
Whnt is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be nf-
llictedr If you will remember a few
j ears ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
common ns any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
tho meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria aro intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bilo through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous. Some Remarks From The South.
Who will buy the southern farm
or's cotton it the factories are closed
through this tariff reform legislation?
Operatives in Europe average 37$
cents n day and think they live well
if they have meat once a week, on
Sundays. Can American workmen
stand this sort of thing? Ignorance
of the condition of labor in Europe
can be the only excuse for favoring
freo trade. Anniston, Ala., Hot
