Megler was over from Gray's harbor yesterday. He reports every thing running smooth and the pros pects good for a fair pack of salmon this fall. The rain has stopped tho smoke and the crystal air is so clear that the hills on tho north side of the bay seem to have come closer in the last few days. An article in yesterday's Oregonian says the Indian name of the Coquille river is "Nasso." Wm. Chance says it is "Skoqnell," beiug Indian for "lamprey eel.'' Among the attorneys iu attendance at this term of court, in addition to members of the Astoria bar, are lions. Raleigh Stott, .T. G. Chapman and O. W. Yocum. The Montesano Vhlelte hears that the fishing strike on Gray's harbor has ended ami that all parties have gone to work at 33J cents for silver sides and GO cents for black salmon. The current number of the Youth's Companion has a long article signed "H. C. Stickney," which purports to bo his experience fishing for salmon on the bar with a Chinaman for a captain, a very unlikely yarn. A force of men is busy on tho road around Smith's point; the 1,0G0 feet of trestle is about finished, and peb bles are being hanled by the wagon load to macadamize the road around the point toward the oil works. The American ship T. F. Oakes, 1,879, Reed master, 30 days from Aca- pnlco; the British bark County of Jforar, U9, JUcAlpin master, and tue British bark Oberon, 1,194. Schu macher master, arrived in yesterday. Col. Taylor is putting up a neat two story frame house on Smith's point, at Carrnthers & Miller's milk ranch, which is considerable improve ment there, and when painted white will be a prominent landmark in that vicinity. The schooner Onrs arrived at San Francisco last Sunday, twenty days from Cook's inlot, Alaska, with a car go of 4,082 cases of canued salmon. Capt. Everson reports the catch of salmon as the smallest known for many years. The current number of the New York Clipper contains an advertise ment for the sale or lease of the fa mous mare, Oregon Beauty, which was killed by lightning on Coney Isl and on June 15th last, and which has beeu mounted for exhibition. "What folks want to do is to pull together. If Astoriana would stand in they'll be able to accomplish any thing they undertook," was the re mark of a prominent Portlander to the writer yesterday afternoon, re garding the railroad, and it is the exact truth. Chehalis county is agitated over the appearance tnere or a set oi men in tho apparent employment of the Northern Pacific railroad, making a survey for a road and the negotia tions for a tract of three thousand acres of land from the Hoqui3m.MilI company, south of Hoquiam river, on the west side of Gray's harbor. Capt Reed has some fine Mexican rrrnTOl nhnnril llifl fihlD. tU6 T. F. Oakes, which would be good for walks among nower-iineu iuwa. -w - ter for that purpose than the South American soil, or the Siberian peb Viloa nr Mi a Anstrnlian dornicks or geological specimens' from all parts or me eartn, wmen iorm pum ui uu streets. There was a good performance and a very large audience at Ross' opera house last evening, the Grismer-Da-vies company appearing in their new play "The World Against Her," it being well presented and enthusiasti cally received. The company ia a good one throughout and gave a por traiture of the several characters that was appreciated by all present. J. V. Watson, who went to Tongas Narrows as foreman for A. W. Berry last spring, arrived back yesterday. He will return on Thursday, oper ating for the Carter Bay Packing company, of which he ia superintend ent. Mr. Watson yesterday enriched The Astoijian museum with two fine pairs of antlers from deer, killed at Tongas Narrows. In that part of the world the deer are called "mowich." The United States steamship Alba tross sailed from Seattle yesterday, to definitely'locate the halibut banks at cape Flattery. The expedition will be accompanied by Prof. O. B. John son, naturalist, well known through out Oregon as "Bug" Johnson, who is now making a specialty of Pnget sound fisheries. It is thought that the Albatross will be subsequently ordered to this vicinity on a similar errand. A. W. Utzinger has returned from Portland, whither he went to meet his brother, ex-Mayor O. C. Utzinger, of Orookston, Minnesota, who with his family arrived here yesterday morning. Mr. Utzinger came out here on a visit some time ago and immediately upon returning made arrangements for the transfer of him self and family to Astoria, where he will make his future residence. He was in the train immediately follow ing the one delayed by the fires at Hood river, and had an unusual ex perience on the rail. Of the 20 men that H. A. Smith took with him via Roseburg for J. W. Humes's Coquille cannery, ii went on. When they left here, 45 and 70 and free transportation were guaran teed them. When they got to Port land they demanded that they bo guaranteed free transportation back. J. W. Hume was telegraphed to, and the answer came back agreeing to that When they got to Roseburg they demanded free board. When this was telegraphed him he sent them word they could go back if they didn't like the terms already ac ceded to. Then they went on to their destination. Stockholders of the Astoria and South Coast Railway Co., met at the chamber of commerce rooms at 730 last evening to take action regarding increasing the capital stock of the company, but there not being a ma jority represented of the stock snb bcribed it was decided to adjourn the meeting to next Monday eve-nine at the same time and place, when it is expected that at least a majority of tho number of shares of stock will be represented either in the persons of tho subscribers or by proxy, that the directors may be duly authorized to increase the capital stock of the com pany as proposed. "Can prunes be grown in Clatsop county?" was asked some time ago. A. A. Cleveland ia one of those who has successfully answered the ques tion in the affirmative. He has several large trees ou his place loaded with fine prunes, large, egg shaped, and of a quality that will compare favorably with those grown in any other sec tion of the state. Now that we have had a successful canning of prunes this season, and it is shown that fine prunes can be grown here, it seems that there is an opening here to aJd another and a profitable industry to Clatsop county's list. The Stale ia due from San Francis co to-day, with the following passen ger list: J. Binkleman, E. E. Free man, T. Wilhelm, Mrs. Steele. Mrs. Harlan, Mrs. C. McConnaha, W. Wolf, Mrs. A. L. Darby, H. Jackson, Miss if. urown, J. A. Jjouces. i. W. Davis, M. Sloss, A. Koshland, M. Ulurn, W. Armstrong, H. Branden stein, H. D. Smith, Miss Wise, W. H. Armstrong and wife, C. C.-Hill, G. Fleischner, E.

"Hoboes" is what they call tramps and vags in tho Willamette valley. The word first originated with the in dependent order of tramps, and was used by them as a sort of password. One tramp walking along the street, seeing another, whom by his general appearance he thinks belongs to the order, says 'hobo.' If the party thus addressed recognizes the word, he stops nnd an acquaintance ia struck up. Again, this tramp walking along side a lot of freight cars stops at one in which he thinks there is a brother and repeats the magic word. It is a sesame and if this surmise is correct. the car door is drawn back and the man outside is received within. From this specific use of the word has come the general term 'hobo,' which is applied to tho vag and beggar as well as the tramp. Considerable truth is boiled down in the follewing: The man who says he does not believe in advertising is doing just what he pretends to de spise. He hangs coats outside his door, or puts dry goods in his win dows that's advertising. He sends out drummers through the country. or puts his name on his wagon that's advertising. He labels his articles, or manufactures that's advertising. If he has lost a cow he puts a written notice in the postoffice or tells his sister-in law and that's advertising too. He has his name put in gilt let ters over his door and that ia also advertising. He paints his shop green, or red, or, if a doator, he has his boy call him out of church in haste; if an auctioneer, he rings a bell to attraot the attention of the passers by; if a heavy merchant, he keeps a huge pile of boxes on his sidewalk in front of his store, and all for adver tising. A man can't do business without advertising, and the ques tion is whether to call to his aid the engine that moves the world the printing press with its thousands of messengers working night and day; or, rejecting these, to go back to the time when newspapers, telegraphs and railways were unknown. But advertising costs money? So does everything else that is worth having." PERSONAL MENTION. Sam'l Elmore has returned to the city. E. C. Finch, proprietor Aberdeen Herald is in the city. Constable Smith has returned from the southern part of the state. Col. Jno. Adair and Mrs. Dr. Owens-Adair started for the state fair last evening. Charlton Fox returned yesterday from Alaska, via Port Townsend, looking well. He reports general good luck among the Astorians who went north last spring. Wm. Allen, a leading business man of Aberdeen, W. T., ia in the city, ev idently prosperous, and was around yesterday shaking hands with old friends and acquaintances. 25,000 Fish at One Hani. The bark Nicholas Thayer, which arrived from Alaska a few days ago, is discharging her cargo of salmon at Steuart street wharf. Charles Filank, the chief fisherman for the Arctio Packing company, to which the Thayer's cargo is consigned, tells marvelous stories of the fishing in the Karluk river. The river, he says, is ' fairly alive with salmon, and when a boat passes through where the channel is narrow, the fish can be seen by the thousands scattering right and left toward the banks. The fishing spot of the com pany is a place on the river three quarters of a mile wide. Tho NicJiolas Thager caught 25,000 fish in one haul during her trip, and brought down with her 22,400 cases of salmon. S. F. Chronicle, 14. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be af flicted? If you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-day it is aa common aa 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, aa they and Malaria are 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 bde through the ordinary channel ia compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, .Billions 'ever. etc. Yon who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's Au gust Flower. Its enrea are mar velous. The Price Said to be $7,000. The statement is unqualifiedly made now that the fishermen's union has purchased the Mt Hood cannery. but upon what terms, for what price, or in what manner ia not known defi nitely on the outside. It has been reported, however, that 37,000 was the price agreed upon; that fishermen are to be paid 40 and GO cents for salmon, 10 cents on each to be de ducted to pay for the cannery, and that Mr. Gilatrap will remain under salary and superintend operations.

Lake Huron, and St. Mary's river to Sanlt Ste. Marie.
