A celebrated historian once wrote a

The schooner Michigan, which
went below with a large cargo of
spruce lnmber. had her machinery
put in place in San Francisco and is
now a steam schooner. She was
built at Skamokawa and is a hand
some vessel. She put off her Astoria
freight yesterday and proceeded up

The recent advance in the protect
ive tariff on imported cablegrams of
37J cents a word is not the reason
nt -Oatttj gstotfim.
The Astokun has no dispatches this
morning. The line is busted in the
brush somewhere. Perhaps it's just
as well. Whenever the wire breaks
it make3 one rustle for local items
all the harder.
A Tacoma man named F. F.
Schwartz was declared crazy last
Monday and sent to Steilacoom. The
poor fellow fancies himself to be a
newspaper man. The Ledger says
"ho seems to be an educated man and
used to good society." That lets
hiin out. Ho made a mistake in his
choice of residence.
Thcro is only ono man in Astoria
who can correctly name nud locate
all tho streets, and if he should up
and die, the other 5,999 would be in a
deuce of a fix. People living hero lo
these many years don't know the
name of the street they live on, such
knowledge not being necessary to the
proper enjoyment of life.
The Columbia cable is loaded on a
framework built on the fora'd deck of
the Walluski aud will be brought
down hero from Portland to-day. P.
J. McGowau has given permission to

the rocks as before.
A Bulgarian monk who speaks 32
languages is heading this way on a
lecturing tour and has Astoria on his
list. Great Cfesar! what have we
done. Can't some one coax him on
board a ship lit Portland. The Ore
gonian says the ships don't have to
stop at Astoria any more, but can put
straight out to sea. In this case
such facilities would be fine.
The News represents president
Adams, of the Union Paoific, as say
ing, in a conversation with a promi
nent railroad man: "I am strongly
opposed to entering into a joint lease
with the Northern Pacific, aud noth
ing would induce mo to consent to
such an alliance. The position of
the Union Pacific, under tho present
condition of affairs, is a very strong
one, aud an alliance with the North
ern Pacific would weaken instead of
strengthening it"
The ordinance granting a franchise
to the Astoria and South Coast rail
way company has not passed tho city
council yet, but it probably will at
the adjourned eonncil meeting to be
held this evening. The officers and
directors are working energetically
to make the matter move on satisfac
torily and need the hearty co-operation
and assistance of every ono in
Astoria in furthering an object that
is so manifestly for the public good
and common prosperity.
Dell Baker was working in the har
vest field, says the Columbia Chroni
cle, and about ten days ago tied a
piece of sacking twine tightly around
his arm to keep his shirt sleeve in its
proper place. The string retarded
the flow of blood in the arm, pro
ducing a blood clot, which brought
on erysipelas, resulting in gangrene.
Drs. Pietrzycki and Bores were sent
for Saturday evening to amputate the
arm, but the patient was too far gone
wljen they arrived, and died shortly
after.
The editor we beg her pardon
the editress, with the accent on the
tress, ot the Davenport, W. T., Times
is a woman. Some one in Tacoma
has been making .snoots at the editor-ess
of the Times and that jour
nal rises to remark that "There isn't
money enough in Tacora to buy the
Times, and there isn't a man there
unless it bo Col. Steele heavy
enough to handle the female demo,
cratic editor hereof." That's the
kind of a hairpin the boss of the
Times is.

Au Astoria fruit cannery in opera
lion is a pleasant sight to one who
likes to see the town develop manu
facturing industries, and ono that
can be seen at, George & Barker's
where about forty employes, chiefly
women and girls, are deftly and neat
ly putting up pears and plums. The
operationis a simple one, the pears
alter peeling ana Halving, being put
into two-and-a-half-pound cans, sir-
uped, soldered nnd cooked. There
are CO 2lb cans in each case. So
far abont 1,000 oases flue fruit have
been packed; tho calculation is to
pack about 1,000 cases more this sea
son. The brand is the same as on
the firm's salmon "The Epicure."
The grounds about the custom
house nre now almost raised to the
lovel intended. The programme now
is after leveling tho uew deposit, to
scatter fertilizer nnd then sow grass
seeds. The next move should be to
put an additional story on the build
ing, or at least fit the roof so that it
won't leak, for the leak gets through
and cracks the plaster and runs on to
the floor and spoils the carpet, and
trickles onto the lower floor and per
colates through the ceiling and drips
on the government papers and things,
and in timo will cause the massive
masonry to crack and give way. To
savo all this Undo Sam ongbt to fix
the roof before it is too eternally late.
The proverb "It never rains. but it
pours," was exemplified at the Clat
sop mill yesterday. About eleven
o'clock yesterday morning nn employe
named John Mnnson got his hand
onto a planer which tore it in a terri
ble manner, necessitating surgical
aid. At ono o'clock P. E. Linn was
working near a lathe bolter when a
beard ilew back and struck him in
tho eye, inflicting an ugly gash. At
two o'clock J. McKenna met with the
third nnd most serious accident. los
incr two of the fingers of his left hand
by contact with a shingle saw. The
rest ot tne any rne employes nanaiea
things very gingerly, but alter the
third accident there's rarely any like
lihood of a recurrence.
"Whoever told you that about pres
ident Adams and the Potter was off,"
said a steamboat man yesterday.
"Now, I'll give you the true business.
He nnd his party, which numbered
seventy-five, came down to speed the
Potter and find out just what time
she could make.'' "Hey there," said
a well known resident, an hour after,
"I see you are dead wrong on that
Potter excursion of Adams and the
railroad tyees. If you want to know
I'll tell you. They came dowu here
on the Potter to hold a director's
meeting, without the bother of inter
ruption." Why they came down here
is getting to be the boss conundrum.
Everyone knows, and no one really
knows. Probably they wanted to get
a few shares of Astoria and South
Coast railroad stock.
There is big turvel everywhere: to
Ilwaco, Shoalwater bay, Gray's har
bor, Tillamook, Portland and San
Francisco. Every boat is crowded.
As for the night boats, the Telephone
and the Potter, their passengers are
legion. The passenger travel to and
from Astoria, is something unusual
this season. A Walla Walla man in
the office yesterday, said, "I'm heart
ily glad you folks have taken hold of
this matter yourselves and made up
your minds to build a railroad to tho
Seaside. That's the way to do. As
toria by right should be the center of
all this seaside business, and if the
matter is put in tho right shape, yon
ought to have 30,000 people here from
eastern Oregon and Washington ev.
ery year." It is a fact that with tho
Astoria and South Coast railroad
built it is reasonable to expect that
25,000 people would make this their
home four months of the year. Wo
have a bigger bonanza than the Corn
stock in this magnificent ocean beach
at our gates, and nothing will devel
op it iu bo marked a degree as tho
construction of the railroad to the
seaside.

THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS
Will Report On The I5th Of December.
At Tuesday's session of the board
of engineers: to hear the views of
those interested in removing obstruc
tions to navigation in the Columbia
river, O. H. Dodd gave it as his opin
ion that the problem at Celilo could
best be solved by the construction of
a portage railway for boats around
the falls there, this portage railway
to bo so constructed as to carry a
cradle large enough to hold any class
of vessel, steam or otherwise, ot n
capacity of COO tons. This cradle is
to be so constructed as to also carry
barges of 300 tons capacity. This, he
claimed, was necessary on account of
the two stages of water at different
seasons of the year to wit: low and
high. These conditions are frequent
ly met with in' the Snake and Colum
bia rivers.
It was further stated by Mr. Dodd
that the board of trade had given tho
matter of the improvement of tho
rivers a great deal of thoughtful at
tention during the past seven years.
That innnmerable plans aud devices
had been snbmitted and considered
for overcoming tho physical difficul
ties at Celilo. That after all these
had been carefully considered the
plan of Major W. A. Jones, United
States engineer, for a portage railway
at Celilo, had been adopted by the
board of trade by resolution, as beine
by far tho most feasible and expe
ditious.
In relation to tho Cascade rapids.
Mr. Dodd thought that tho canal and
locks should be completed as soon as
possible. That the canal should be
fifty feet wide, and it would bo still
better if it was ,8ixty feot wide, and
that it should be bo arranged that a
vessel 210 feet long could bo taken
through.
Col.Mendell assnred Mr. Dodd that
tho Cascade locks would be com
pleted as soon as possible. The mat
ter of the portage railway would be
carefully looked into, and on Decem
ber 15 the report which the board will
make will be opened. The investiga
tion which the board had begun will
not be finished by tho original bonrd
hi person, but thoy will send compe
tent men to finish the work.
Ex-Senator Grover also appeared
before the board ot engineers, and
gave his views in regard to how the
obstructions to navigation should be
romoved.
Col. Mendell left on last night's
steamer for San Francisco. News,

An Explanation.
Whnt is this "nervous troublo" with
which so many seem now to bo af
flicted? If you will remember n few
years ago tho word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
common as any word in tho Enclish
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used bv
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
onr 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
bile 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 nro mar
velous.
