Tho school population of the state
is from 85,000 to 87,000. This in
cludes all between the ago of 4. and

63,000 enrolled in the schools. Of
this number the average attendance
is about C1.000.
The reports show that the O. & C.
road has been run at a loss for the year
ending Sept 1. It is said the South

for a year or two, to be followed by
its becoming ono of its best paying

of Oregon.
Tho Gray's Harbor Mill company
has purchased the Cosmopolis mill for

and the mills will bo largely im
proved. Captain Charles G. White, of San
Francisco, intends to challenge the
America to run him over tho same
course again, as he is not satisfied
with the result of his last race. Ho
attributes his defeat to tho fact that
the White was carrying about five
tons too much ballast.
Rails have now been laid twenty-
eight miles east of Albany on the
Oregon Pacific. The contract has
been let for building tho lunocl,
which will be worked during the
winter. It is thought that fifty miles
of rail will be laid down east or Al
bany beforet tho work ceases.
The San Diego papers say that the
recent story of the people thero poi
soned from eating canned salmon that
had been through n fire, is slightly
inaccurate. They claim that no fam
ily of that name Jive iu San Diego;
that thero was no fire; that no canned
salmon was there; and that no one
died. Probably a campaign lie.
A man signing himself Daniel
Murphy, sends this paper a letter on

Cleveland he would walk ono hun

they generally da walk afoot. Some
people, however, walk ahead. Mr.
Murphy sends us this letter from

Tho longest white pine sticks that

dozen of those little sticks out here

not unusual.

Yesterday afternoon A. A. Cleve

while the dust was being prepared to

some misapprehension, backed the
wagon off the roadway on to the

The modes of death's approach are
various, and statistics show conclu
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. It is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by a slight tickling sensation
in tho throat and if allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. It will give yon immediate
relief.

How Astoria Loses Its Rightful Commerce.
The harbor is full of ships: they
line the docks, are in the stream, and
give the port a busy appearanoe. It
is noticeable this season that tho
class of vessels coming here to load
are larger than in former years. In
stead of barks of 800 and 1,000 tonb
burthen, there are several from 1,800
to a,KJ tons. The Aancaster Castle,
when loaded, will carry away about
3,400 tons, about as heavy a cargo as
ever went out of the river.
The reasons advanced for the in
crease in the size of the vessels, for
the influx of larger tonnage, are twe:
one is that tho Columbia bar is being
so improved by the jetty that they
can more readily than formerly secure
safe ingress and egress. Hut that is
hardly tenable. A vessel drawing 23
feet under the usual favorable cir
cumstances need have no fear of the
bar, and 23 feet is more than the reg
ular draft of vessels this way.
Perhaps the truest reason for the
increased tonnage of the vessels here
this year is that the charges and ex
penses count up so much that it does
not pay ship owners to send vessels
of small tonnage here. At any rate
it is evident that when the fall fleet
headed this way, Columbia river
freights were so low that large vessels
were listed. Since they have become
due and are arriving freights have
taken a big advance. Some of the
vessels are getting only 33s, while the
Andreta, which will take nearly 3,000
tons, is reported to get 47s 6d.
There is considerable delay in re
ceiving wheat and loading vessels
here. While the Portland ware
houses are crammed full of wheat and
trains from Oregon and Washington
are loaded with west bound grain to
Portland, vessels are lying here day
after day waiting for wheat to com
plete their cargo. They are not al
lowed to load in the stream; they
mnst go alongside the docks, and
there isn't room thero for the number
ot vessels in port
The supply of barges and towboats
does not appear to be equal to the
demand. Whether this is accidental
or not it works on injury to the port
and is detrimental to tho shipping in
terests of the river.
This is an old story, but the exist
ing condition of affairs calls for com
ment The O. It. & N. steamers to San
Francisco get 82.50 a ton to take wheat
to that port where freights rule
usually 10s or 2.50 a ton higher than
they do here. Bight here seems to bo
where interests clash. It is to the
interest of the farmer, the produc er
tho shipper, the broker, the property
owner the worker in Astoria, the mer
chants of Astoria, to have the grain
loaded here.' It is to the interest of the
O. R. & N. Co., to have the grain go
in the holds of its San Francisco
steamers. If there didn't a vessel
come hero at all, it would be all the
better for the O. R. & N. Co.
Here are a few facts: The Astoiuan
doesn't cite them in any spirit ot hos
tility to the O. U. & N. Co.. but
simply to show how the thing works,
and how this system inures to our
injury.
During last beason the (J. It. & IS.
steamers took to San Francisco close
on to eighty thousand tons ot wheat,
that ought to have been loaded here
on deep seagoing vessels, but which
cleared foreign from San Francisco.
As things go, that 80,000 tons would
have loaded forty vessels that didn't
come here. These forty vessels would
have disbursed a quarter of a million
dollars in the Columbia river; this
8250,000 would have been largely spent
in Astoria; clothing, meat, groceries,
provisions, ship chandlery and sup
plies, outfitting, repairs, longshore
men's wages; the paying out of say
half of that S125,000-in a little
town like this, would have been quite
an item. But the wheat went to San
Francisco. It is going to San Fran
cisco all the time. It looks as
though tbe O. R. & N. Co., wasn't
losing much sleep over tbe fact that
shipping is almost at a dead look as
to facilities here, while gram is still
poured in a steady stream to San
Francisco at tbe profitable- rate of
82.50 a ton nnd Astoria is left suck
ing the posterior receptacle of the
lacteal fluid.
Thero is little use in kicking; the
O. R. & N. Co. have the works; they
control the whole business from the
mountains to the sea, and a little be
yond it with "off shoro towage."
The question is "what are you going
to do about it?" The solution of the
problem is a very plain one; an open
river, and that alone will do it.
With an open river and grain load
ing here, as it should, instead of at
San Francisco, Astoria would have
50.000 people here inside of five years.
There is an association meets in
romana 10-aay wnoso motto is
"an open river." Let us see what
they do.
