The state tax'levy, as will be seen in another plaoe, has been fixed at four mills, which is one and two tenth mills less than last year. The rate of Olatsop county's tax levy will probably be fixed by the county court at its session next Tuesday, and will like be 'about the same as last vear.

Astorians visiting Portland large. ly patronize the St. Charles Hotel, of which onr lato fellow townsman, Charley Knowles, is the genial host Thev have but one complaint to make against their favorite" stopping place and The Astobian has been re quested to menfion it: It is that, for some .reason or other, the copy of The Astobuk, daily mailed to "mine host" and for which he is a regular subscriber; can very seldom be seen Place it Astoria Astoria The Astoria Iron Works, ha; as much work on hand and orders to fill as will boop their pre30ut force of twenty-fire men busy till well on to next sprint. Arndt & Ferehen. and the Pacifio Iron Works, are suffering irom mo same complaint. Hasn fac tories, planing mills, house carpen ters and all other artisans are all working fnll handed, the only draw back being the short days of Decem ber. We predict that from this time on, the growth of this city and in crease in her population will be more rapid and permanent than at any other period 'of the past history of this, the oldest town and only seaport of Oregon. The Astoria street railway, has bfen in successful cperation less than sirrnontns, but we notice there is marKea tendency toward securing a busineis location in the street through which it passes. This is a natural consequence, and Third street, (for merly Squemoaua) is destined! to be come the Kearney street of Astoria, Leaving out Capt Flavel's fine brick building, the handsomest and most commodious stores are to be found on the line of the street railroad, im provements are still going on, but thero is room for more. There are several vaoant lots on Third street on which the owners are paying heavy taxes and from which they receive no income. We believe that all the lots along the line ot that street, from the custom house.block to the O. R. & JJ. Co's. dock, could be made remunera tive property, it the owners would go to work at once aud ereot buildiDgs snitable for business purposes. There are men in town to-day, who are desirous of engaging in business here, wno cannot una a suitable vacant store or building. HON. C. W. FULTON.

Masonic Funeral. The funeral of the late judge J. W.

At 12 50 the Masonic brethren assembled ajt their lodge room, it being draped in mourning, and, under the leadership of Dr. Jay Tuttle, worshipful master, observed the funeral ceremonies peculiar to the order in tho lodge room.

GIfXrSTHE5ATrTABDI It mil be Unlit on The Oregon or Washing' ton Cout. It is about time for the Portland board of trade and Astoria chamber ot commerce to put asido the over powering modesty that prevents them from calling attention., ta the advantages that the Columbia river possesses for tho looation of so im portant a government work. The Astobiajj has remained silent on the subjeot, hoping that some of the pow erful journals in tho metropolis of this state would raise their voice irr taYor of tho Columbia river as th,e 'most favorable location ot tho proposed navy yard, and in the hope .that they would be alive to the: Interests of 4he country'they are supposed to represent. But it seems they have dropped all bold and are going to let their rivals on the Sound rake in everything on the board. Si lence and modesty in a case of this kind is liable to be mistaken for sto lidity, so The Astobiajt ventures to suggest to the board ot trade of Port land and the chamber of commerce of Astoria that they unite their voices and influence in securing the loca tion ot the yard on the Columbia river. If the vard is located on tho Sound it will do Portland no cood. If it is at or near Astoria it will do Portland some good. That proposi tion is plain enough, aud tho time to act is limited. . The secretary of the navy last Wednesday anDointed Cant. W. T. Mehan, commander C. M. Chester and lieutenant commander C. H". Stockton, a board to seleot a sito for a government navy yard on thePacifin north of the 42nd parallel, north lati tude, in Oregon, Washington territo ry, or Alaska, and will shortly start for this coast. Whatever may be the chances for success, it would bo in order for our chamber ot commerce to take some pains and put forth some effort in representing the ad vantages this port possesses for-the location of a navy yard. The advan tage to Astoria of having a navy yard located here is too obvious toneBd demonstration, so"thewbrk for the chamber would be simplified and narrowed d6wn to the. one object 'of offering inducements to. have the navy yard located here.- Astoria will soon have railroad connectiohwith the rest of the world, and with the improvements that are being ,tnado on -me -bar should come .the nouid come Tthenavy will be a tremendouB yard. There effort to have the yard' located at the Sound and if no objection is made or counterinducements offered there is -where it will be. r- - ' " -A good many Astorians havATsmv. ken of this matter, nnd they-all agree' , mat ine navy yard snouid pe. located on the Columbia river. Hercrialreali water where vessels can lie for-fi-venr- and' then be cleaned with a broom, instead of being covered with a crust of barnacles as on the-13o"ttnuT",Hefe are forests of timber, nnd up the river a little way are 'iron,, mills in operation on inexhaustible deposits ot ore. We've got everything re quired to supply a navy yard. Let our boards of- trade open .- their. mouths and speak. If a thine is worth having it is worth asking for. GIVE US THE NAVY YARD! How Men Die. I It we know all the methods' ot ap proach adopted .by en enemy we are tho better enabled to ward off the danger and pospone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength ot the body suffices to enable it to op pose the tendency toward death. Many however have lost tbeso forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. In -other coses a little aid to the weakened Lungs' will make all tho difference between sudden death and manjvyears of U3efnl life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold or any trouble of the Throat or Luugs, give that old and wellknown remedy Boschee's German Syrup, a careful trial. It will prove what thousands say of it to be, the "bene factor of any home." Thf State Tax" Lew. Salem, Dec. 5.-The state tax levy was to-day fixed as follews: State levy, enrrent expenses, three nnd seven-tenths of n mill; militia tax, ono fifth of a mill; university, one-tenth ot a mill; total, four mills. The total value ot taxable property iu the state is 885,893,429, being about 35,000,000 less than was expected, several counties having returned de creased valuations. Total estimates for the current expenses of 1639, in cluding the expenses ot the next ses sion ot the legislature, ara$317,80568, and the resulting rate ot taxation is three and seven-tenth mills, being one and two-tenth mills less than the levy made last year. To this must be added tho special taxes levied by stat ute ot one-fifth of a mill for the mil itia, and one-tenth of a mill for the state" University, which makes i he total taxation .for all purposes, as, above stated, four mills.
