A novel proceeding was witnessed at Seattle last Friday, when some parties ,went out with a pile driver to fence in mud flats belonging to the Oregon Improvement company; im mediately three other pile drivers wentout and .proceeded to fence in the intruding driver whereupon a squabble ensued which was settled by the chief of police and citizens. Ros3 and Wirt are engaged in rais mg the frame buildings occupied by ma umnese on j. w. uearnart's lot corner of Benton and Second streets, up to the established level. The ele vating of these and other Chinese tenements affords an opportunity to improve the sanitary condition of these localities which we hope the city council will take advantage of. Now that protection for American citizens and American manufactures is determined to be the proper thing, let it becin. as oharitv nhnnlri at home, and whenever you have any money to spend, spend it at home with your own neighbors and mer. chants instead of sending it out ot the community to those who will never send it back. The. customs collections at Van couver, B. 0., for October were S19. 966.82, of which 810,939 was head tax on Chinese entering the country. The Gen. Miles sails for Gray's harbor this morning.

A high authority on farm manage ment says that a cow should be kept as clean as a horse, and a horse should be kept olean. A brush should be used to clean the mud and dust from the cow. Well, that's all right, but judging from the amount of sed imentary deposit delivered with some Astoria milt, tne cow must have been moronghly cleaned into the milk pan. Yesterday afternoon direotors Conn and Crosby and Mr. H. B. Thielson, chief engineer of the Astoria and South Coast Railroad Co., opened the uiua uauaea in ror tne wort of clear ing the right of way through the BKipanoa woods.

Collisions between vessels along the river havo been quite frequent of late from various causes, although fortunately the damage has generally been inconsiderable. A pool has been formed in Benton and Linn counties, to plant a large tract in Italian prunes, and when the trees come to bearing, to erect an enormous fruit dryer. For the nest twenty days there will be no hops shipped from Puyallup on account of scarcity ot cars. This is to give wheat growers in the Palonse region ahance to get their wheat to " Seaboard as soon as possible.

Numerous sawmills aro go ing up, and other enterprises are be ing organized which seems to show that a big town, which will probably cuuuiupusa an iour ot tnose named, will shortly be built, and perhaps be come a formidable rival to Seattle and Tacoma. .

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 Tuberole 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 m me mroat ana it allowed to con tinue their ravages Ihnv frrtonil fn th lungs producing Consumption and to the head, erasing Catarrh. Now all inis is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in timo cause death. At the onset YOU must aot with nrnmnf- 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 you immediate relief. PERSONAL MENTION. The ship Ventura has discharged 460 tons ot coal on Flavel's wharf. She will discharge 40 tons more to fill the complement of 500 tons pur chased here, which will reduce her draft to 17 feet, thus lightened she will endeavor to reach Portland, start ing up on Monday.

Mendell, Major Jones, Major Handbury and Captain Willard Young were to leave Portland yester day for Yaquina bay, as an examining board to make an investigation re garding the improvements required and to report on a general project for the improvement ot the bay. Work upon the new railroad from Centralin to Gray's harborhas begun. This says the Journal looks as if there was something in the scheme which has been so long talked of. Col. Ellensbury has arrived from Chicago with workmen and proposes to push the work to completion, so he gives out. The road will follow down the north bank of the Cbehalis river t,h.roRn tlie towns of Montesano, Aberdeen and terminate a little way souuh ot the town of Hoquiam where it is said good water can be found. During the month of October, ship, ments of salmon from San Francisco amounted to 77,070 packnges. valued at S436.230. These tntnls inning no . ?5 Packages to England, valued a't fcdyuvna. Most of the salmon was paoked in Alaska. Nearly all the British Columbia salmon nnrl n Wrm portion of the Oregon went forward airecc irom victoria nnd Astoria. Most first class brands at Astoria have uoou uiarneieu. nere is still con siderable Alaska salmon in San Fran cisco in process ot shipment, and other lots are expected from Alaska for the same purpose. The idea of leaving cards at the graves of distinguished persons ap pears to be fast becoming established as one of the regular rules of card etiquette. The bust of Longfellow in Westminster Abbey is surrounded with these bits of cardboard, and the grave of "H. H.," in Colorado is said to be strewn with tb.6 cards of tourists. The Chinese leave bits of paper on the graves of their departed friends, also "littee lioee," and "littee plok." All in good style, exceeding good taste. Some say "if yon can't shed a tear leave a card. Wm. Chance is on the street again after an illness of nearly two weeks. G. W. Gant, who teaohes the sohool at Skipanon, was in town yesterday. Senior and Junior." Hundreds of the juvenile portion of the community, and many of those who are but ohildren 'ot a larger growth-were immensely amused yes terday afternoon in witnessing the honest payment of the novel and whimsioal bets made by councillor Bergman,"Capt W.

Nothing daunted by the inclement rainy weather, hundreds, of citizens gathered around the Repubh'can headquarters at the old Armnrv Tmir as the shades of evening began to fall. The sidewalks were crowded with ladies and children, all on the tip-toe of expectation to witness the grand parade, which wns to pnlirwo any and every thing of the kind ever before seen in the city of Astoria. xney were not disappointed. By 7 o'clock Main and Third streets near the Republican rendezvonn. nro. sented a jumble ot men, horses, car- nBKHjuuu venicies ot everv desert rv. lion, awaiting chance to take 4heirl respective places in the grand proces sion. ..Grand marshal Elmore, with the assistance -ot lis efficient aids, soon brought order out of confusion; the line was formed; and at 7:30 the procession started in the order laid down in the printed .programme; uuwu j.airu Bireet to jjaiayette: thence to Hirst and on past the west onore mills to Uniontewn: thence countermarching to Main and on to Genevieve; thence south" to Jefferson and east to Cedar street; cuiuinuuiK wouce on to upper As toria and to Alderbrook; counter marching to Water street, and thence to Ross's opera house. Notwithstanding the long maroh, which covered atlistanoe fully equiv alent to a good four miles, the opera house was well filled with ladies and gentlemen who enthusiastically cheered the brief and able addresses delivered by the chairman, Sam El more, Hon. C. W. Fulton, R. Kanaga, G. W. Grannis and others. The arrangement and perfect hand ling ot so large a prooession reflected great credit on the executive ability of .the grand marshal and hin nidn. who were ably assistod by an advanoe guara consisting of Uapt. Shaw, Lieute. W. A. Sherman and H. J. Wherity, ot Co. "H," O. N. G. Tom Linville made an excellent standard bearer. THE PROCESSION. By actual count the number of torch bearers was little short of 500, and not much less than 1,000 men were marching in line. Add to these the decorated four-horse and two-horse trucks, each loaded with some special distinguishing feature of trade and honest industry demanding protec tion, the carnages containing the orators of the evening, distinguished citizens, prominent politicians and city officials, and other 'vehioles, and wo nave a procession wnion, extend ed in a line, it iook 20 minutes to pass a given point, A liberal supply of fireworks was distributed judiciously at intervals along the line and added much to the splendor of the scene. Among the most -prominent feat ures of the procegsion were the fol lowing, each mounted on truoks, deo- oraiea witn tne national bunting: A Jog cabin, with a live coon perched on the roof, with appropriate transparencies;, furnished by J. G. Hustler. v.r .' A full rigged model ship 10 feet long, over which was the motto, "Harrison at the helm." A miniature saw-mill with circular saws at work, and the motto of "The West Shore Mills: No free trade for this gang." A Donkey steam eusine with steam np, furnished bytlie stevedores, with the motto "Down with Pauper Labor anu r.ngnsn wages." Tho working tols of a maohino shop with a blacksmith's forge in full blast two men at work, one with sledge and the other with smnll ham. mer.aa the procession moved along; lurmsnea Dy Arnat & a eroben.

' Printing press at .work, from the Transcript office. Pioneer wagon, with motto "Every American citizen acquiesces in the will of the" majority;" and several others which we havo not space to enumerate. Never before were the.hotels, stores and private dwellings of Astoria so generally and so profusely illuminated as they were last evening. -The nu merous residences, located on the south side slope, presented a really beautiful appearance, but while there were so many all over the city deserv ing of special mention, we have not Bpace to particularize. As before stated, it was by far the grandest.nro- cession ever witnessed in Astoria, and one ot tne most pleasing features connected with it is the faot that so many of our Democratic citizens not only took part in the procession, but joined in the general illumination thereby'manifesting their allegiance to the true democratic dootrine that the majority have the right to rule. Ladies in delicate health, and all who suffer from Jiabltual constipation, will find the pleasant California liquid fruit remedy, byrup-of Figs, more easily taken and'more beneficial in effect than vny other remedy.
