A salmon cannery is building at tho narrows on the Willapa river, being one of tho very few sites that have not been taken before. Tho biggest thing in tho O. It. & N. dock at present is an enormous boss fly wheel, which is for the derrick at Tiliamcck roci light house. Below West's on the road to Sea side, cows are not allowed to run at large. This is published as an in ducement to immigration to that sec tion. The Dalles Times-Mountaineer, of tho 7th says: The run of salmon is quite lively this month. The Tenino Packing Co. is shipping large quan tities. On the Sound at the present time the summer run of salmon is about setting in and tho fishermen are mak ing preparations to put up a large supply. There will be a total eclipse of the moon July 22d, when the satellite will make an almost central passage across the lino formed by the earth's shadow. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Mt. Hood Packing companv last Saturday, F. It. Stokes, J. It. Gil strap, P. A. Stokes, J. J. Stokes, and Jno. P. Hines were elected directors. Tho Mavzanitd went up to the buoy depot yesterday, took on a lot of material, went to Fort Canby yes terday afternoon and goes to Shoal water bay and Gray's harbor this morning.

Tho ladies of the several churches are requested to meet in tho parlors of the Y. M. C. A. building on this Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, for the purpose of arranging for n social to be given under the auspices of and for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. And soon will come the regular presidential year joke abont the man that bet and won and tho other man that bet and lost the wager, that there was and is a city in the "United States of 227,000 population in which Cleveland will not get a single vote. Somo of Portland's crack shots par ticipated in the recent Seattle tourna ments. Their friends at homo ex pected favorable reports, and were surprised, on the 6th to get the fol lowing brief and expressive dispatch: Seattle, Jnlv G. Soup. Home Sat. p. m. " Less. The lato Henry Mattson deposited a certificate of insurance on his life, issued by the "Occidental self endow ment association of California," with some unknown person to be put in a safe. It tho party having tlm certifi cate will kindly deliver it to Dr. Jay Tuttle he will confer a favor on tho widow. Messrs. Itobb & Parker have bought out the insurance and real estate business .! J. O. Bozorth, who will remove to Portland. They will oc cupy his former office on "Genevieve street as soon as arrangements are completed. Several Cleveland campaign but tons are ueing worn; tuey are small, of dark metal, bear the initials ,-G. C.," the date "84-88" and the inscrip tion "public office is a public trust.'' Some people think a public omce is a private snap. but these but tons say different. There is a resident of this city, a man who lias lived here for a good many years who is a relation of both Harrison and Mor ton, the Republican candidates for president and vice-piesident Who is ho? Well, his name will appear in this column on the 7th of November, 1SSS. When the Astoria delegation reached Seattle they began brushing the flies off, which lighted on them. Some wonder was expressed by Se attleiles there should be any flies on Astorians, till some one casually mentioned that in Astoria the cows rambled around the streets. That, of course, explained it. . Harry Kelly, of tho Portland fire department, testified in court last Fri day, that his wife had a habit of hit ting him with a big piece or wood, and sometimes thrashing him with a horsewhip, bnt lie didn't mind if, as it pleased her, and didn't hurt him. It was just n way she had, and she didn't mean anything by it. At a meeting of tho Clatsop road and construction company last even ing at which C. II. Page was chair man nndC.lt. Thomson was secretary, the directors elected at the last meet ing duly qualified, aud the by laws of tho company wero read by sections and adopted. Tho directors will meet at three this afternoon. In tho justice court yesterday Geo. Peale was arraigned, charged with assault aud battery on John Iiasaw, at Desdemona Sands, where bothmrn wero fishing; it appearing that the boats fouled and n inssel was the con sequence Peale was discharged, Donald MacBaue, on a charge of as sault and battery on one Nelson, will nave a hearing at two tins afternoon. Three and four years aK llw balk of the inquiries received by the east ern mail at this office, we.-.- from city residents asking about the probability of getting employment here clerking, book-keeping, etc. For the last year tno majority of those asking informa tion want to know about tho price of land, how mnch vacant laud is around Astoria, etc, which is a promising sign. Robert Holt, father of L.W.Holt of this city, died at his residence in Oakland, Cal., last Saturday, in the Clth year of his age. Deceased was an honored member of Beaver Lodge No. 35, I. O. O. F., and was well known to many old residents, having lived at Fort Stevens for many years. Hisjson was with him when ho died, having been summond to his bedside abont ten days ago. Except in large cities the pott office department will not pay for ad vertising tho dead letter list. This is unfair to the inhabitants of smaller towns and .villages. An undelivered letter is just as important to its right ful owner in Astoria as though ho or she were a resident of San Francisco and to withhold publicity in one place that is given to it in another is unjust and uuworthy of our govern ment "Many a true word is spoken in jest." A few days ago Tun Astobiax said that up near Westport the folks were canning their hay. It was jest so. There are cans and cans. John West is canning his hay. He cuts the grass of the field, which to-day is and to-morrow is cut down and that afternoon cut up and hauled to a big circular can called a silo, and pnt in under heavy pressnre, and next winter Mr. West will feed this green succulent grass to steers aud sich. This is the ensilage process, and if that isn't canning hay, what is it? There were some whistling boys on the dock yesterday, and alongside the dock lay the Manzanila with the big boss whistling buoy, weighing tons upon tons on board. It is painted a bright red, and has m big whito let ters fair to see tho words GRAY'S HARBOR painted all around its voluptuous waist It will bob in tho bubbling brine off Gray's harbor, and any one who is able to road tho En glish language when in big print, can make out which is Gray's harbor and which is Shoalwater bay after ho sees thi3 buoy. The whistling buoy at the month of tho Columbia is painted black and white. When the Geo. W. Elder came iu last Sunday morning, among tho passengers were a Chinamen and his wife, residents of this city, who were nllowcd to land, and four Chinese, Lamninc ilee, t!U years old, Uncah Ho, 21 years, Ungat Hing, S years and Lamping Jo IU years; theso four wept bitterly, but had 110 certificates and their tears did not influence the inspectors, who refused them admis sion. They wero from Nanaimo, B. C, and went on tho steamer yester day to Portland. The Elder brought 1,200 cases salmon from tho Aber deen Packing company of Alaska. When sho left that cannery there were 3,000 cases packed there. On tho San Francisco steamer last Snnday came a propellor for the Manzanita. This is none of your little two-for-a-bit propellors, but is one of those yon read .about in the back part of the spelling book. It is made principally of brass; it was cast at Maro Island. It weighs 4,803 pounds. It cost S2.182.04. It has in it brass from the brasswork of the old Hartford that held admiral Far ragut lashed in its rigging at the cap tare of Mobile; it has copper from tho sheathing plates of "Old Iron sides," the frigate Constitution; it has tin from the mines of Cornwall, and a gold ring that the foundery foreman dropped in the melting pot for luck; it has an entire brass engine that was set up and worked for many years in a steamer on tho southern California coast, and other bric-a-brac. Clatsop Lodge No. 113 U. O. of. H., was organized on July 11th 1887, with a charter membership of rl members. It is a beneficial order. The assessments are levied on mem bers whenever it is required, and the amount is according to the ago of the member, the insurance being from $500 to 3,000. The average cost for the past year has been as follews: The average age of members is 31 years old; the average co3t of each assessment has been 94 cents. The number of assessments levied for the year were 16, so from the above it will be seen that the average cost to members has been for the year end ing July 10th 18S8, for the average amount of insurance of 81,400, $15.04. There is also a sick benefit fund be longing to this lodge which guar antees each member S10 per week in case of sickness. It has been legally settled in Texas that the moon has an immense infln enco in enlarging tho brand on cattle. A lawsuit was pending relative to the ownership of a large herd of cattle, and tho solution depending upon the proof of tho brand which was found on comparison to be three times the size of the branding iron which the claimant used. Thirteen witnesses were introduced, all of them experts in branding and herding cattle. They all sworo that when cattle were branded in the dark of the moon tho brand will never, no matter how large the nnimal may grow, get larger than thedimensiousof the iron used. On the other hand, when either cattle or calves are branded in the light of tho moon, tho scar will spread, and tho lighter the moon, the lighter will bo the spread. And the suit, involving several thousand dollars worth of cattle, was settled on tho testimony. So whatever may be the rule in Ore gon, tho question is legally settled that it is tho moon that does it in TVxas. PERSONAL MENTION. J. J. Stokes has returned from Till amook. J. P. Austin of Seaside, was in the city yesterday. A. G. Thurraan, Democratic nomi nee for vice-president, says he will visit Oregon this fall. To he Moved From Toiisae Point. On motion of senator Dolph the senate to-day passed bills to establish lighthouses at Astoria and at the Unipqua river. At Astoria there is to be a wharf as well as a lighthouse, the wharf to be under the control of the lighthouse board, and for the project the sum of Slu.090 13 appro priated. The lighthouse at themouttf of Urapqua river is to be established on tho headlands in that vicinity, and is to bo first-class in every particular. Tho sum of S80.000 is appropriated for the purchase of a sito and the building of the structure. In recom mending the Astoria lighthouse aud wharf the lighthouse board say: At present the lighthouse wharf and buoy depot are at Tongue Point.three miles above Astoria. It is a bad lo cation, as it is an exposed point, and mere 13 often so much sea that ves sels cannot lie at the end of the wharf. The water is shoaling rapidly at this point. It is very inconvenient on account of the shoal water and currents for vessels to get to the wharf, aud it therefore costs from twenty to thirty cents more per ton to get coal landed at this wharf than it would if it were located at Astoria. It is also quite inconvenient in case of repairs to buoy3 or to tho tender, as it is three miles from a machine Ehop. If tho wharf and depot were at Astoria the crew of the tender could frequently be employed in cleaning buoys nnd similar work, while small repairs wero being made to its engine or boiler. There is no telegraphic communication nearer than threo miles from tho buoy de pot, and it is not possible to learn the condition of the bar at tho mouth of tho river. At Astoria it is genernlly possible to learn whenever it is too rongh to work outside. As n rnlo the emergencies of the service require that the tender should lie ut Astoria instead- of at Tongno Point, conse-. quently she must lie at a private wharf instead of at a government wharf. Before long the wharf at Tongue Point will need expensive re pairs, aud will havo to be extended on account of tho shoaling of water, if it is retained there. It will there fore bo less expensive to relocate tho wharf at Astoria than it will be to re build and extend it atTonguoPoiut." Washington Corr. Oregonian. I t Boiyd of Equalization.

Oregon's Enemy Eejected By The President. (SPECIAL 10 THE ASTOEIAN.) KANASAsGnr, July 9. Tho most disastrous storm that has ever visited Kansas City for years raged during last night until twelve o'clock. During the height of the storm 18th street for seven blocks became a tur bulent river which flooded nil the houses to the depth of two feet, and at 23rd, and Vine and 15th streets the culvert was inadequate to carry off the immense volume of water which backed up carrying away two houses, the inmates of which were rescued only with difficulty. Those who saw the storm said that it was undoubtedly a cloud-burst. Re ports of death and destruction are numerous, but at this hour no fatali ties have been verified. It is said that a family of four persons named Williams, were washed away and drowned. The loss will aggregate many thousand dollars. A NABROW ESCAPE. Darmstadt, July 9. As Prince Alexander of Battenburg, late ruler of Bulgaria, was driving from Heidel berg into Shattack valley yesterday, his horse shied and the carriago was hurled down tneside 01 the mountain. Prince Alexander was thrown out and fell a distance of forty feet when he grasped soma shrubs, and by their aid escaped with slight injuries. The horse was terribly mangled and killed and the carriage was dashed to pieces. GRAIN REPORTS. San Francisco, July 9.

THE RESULT OF THE INQUEST. Portland, July 9. To-day Drs. Taylor and McKenzie made a post mortem examination on tho body of Mary Schueller the young German woman who died .suddenly Saturday afternoon in Dr. Murray's office. Tho testimony of the surgeons proved beyond a doubt that the girl's death was duo to an abortion. The cor oners jury returned a verdict to tho effect that Mary Schueller came to her death from criminal malpractice at tho hands of some unknown per son. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to bo af flicted? If yon will remember a few years ago tho word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-aay it is as common as any word in the English language, yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Billiousness, and all aro caused by troubles that anso 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. You who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's Au gust Flower. Its cures are mar velous. Mary had a little jam; She locked it up to grow, And every where that JIary went Tho key was suro to go. She lost it in tho grass one day, While fleeing from a cow; Her brother Johnny picked it up He is an angel now. Gnmbrlnus Beer And Free Lunch at the Telephone Sa loon, 5 cents.
