that the Idaho is paying 81,000 a day

dock while undergoing repairs. It
there was a floating dry dock at As

ment, for the amount of shipping

would keep a dry dock in use most of
the time it the charges were reason
able. When contractor Smith went to

Can it be possible that journalism has
sunk to suoh degraded depthB, in the
metropolis of the great State of Cali
fornia? J. T. Dowell of Pennsylvania, who
tor two years past has been mining
in'Alaska, is in San Franoisoo from
Prince William's sound. He-brought
seventy-five tons of bituminous lig
nite coal with him from amine which
he has opened on Cook's inlet. He is
now testing the coal there to find just
what quality it is, although he says it
is superior. Speaking on the subject
of his mine he says: "I hear the
Alaska Commercial company and the
cannery men are talking down that
country; bti 1 have had experience
in the Leadville carbonate mines and
I may say I think Alaska is the great
est mineral region there is. I think
the Alaska company and the cannery
men don't want outsiders to go in.
They want to hold the country for
themselves?'
The Eugene Guard says: The
steam schooner Augusta, ot Yaquina
bay, mention of which being ashore
on the sands south of the Siuslaw
river was made in the last issue of
the Guard, had a very lucky escape
from being wreoked. Shestrnok on
the south sand spit, and with every
recurring high tide was carried in
ward until on the fifth day after
striking she reaohed the river ou the
inside, having been forced across tho
spit for nearly a mile. Her keel wa
badly worn, but otherwise she was
not injured. She was considered still
seaworthy, and whe,n our informant
left Florence, Monday, was loaded
with salmon and, with the schooner
Mischief, was awaiting an opportun
ity to get across the bar. The three
masted schooner Emma Utter was
carried bcwh the sand spit at the
same point and got safely into the
river about two years ago.
Ml
Frank Silva, otherwise known as
the "Portuguese king," who has some
thing of a reputation in this city, has
boen married several times, and seems
to be a sort of social collossus or incu
bus, or something of that sort, judg
ing from the following record which
he has made in San Francisce: His
first wife was a woman who said that
she was dingle in spito of tho fact
that she was known as Mrs. Marvin.
She had an acre of land in Alameda
whioh she deeded to Silva, but a man
by the name of Marvin turned up and
sued for the land. Silva transferred
it to her and Marvin lost his suit.
Then he got a divorce from heron
the grounds of cruelty. He then
married a Mrs. Brooks, a widow, but
bad trouble with her mother and -got
a divorce on the grounds of desertion.
Then he married Miss Marie de Ala
meda, who was his housekeeper and
who is now his wife. Silva is await
ing trial on the grounds of assault
upon Mrs. Simons.

CITY ELECTION.
It is to be hoped that every tax
payer of Astoria will realize the re
sponsibility that rests upon him to
take a personal interest in tho elec
tion for councilmen to ba held in this
city to-morrow. The time has ar
rived in the history of Astoria when
it is otvital importance to place only
such men in office as can be depended
upon to exercise good judgment and
a keen interest in the administration
of municipal affair?; men of well
known executive ability, sterling in
tegrity and of unquestioned good
business qualifications. A large
amount of money is .necessarily paid
into and out of the city treasury every
year, and -it is ol the utmost impor
tance that every dollar -of this money
should be judiciously expended. In
laying this we do not intend to im
ply that previous expenditures have
been misapplied, but dimply to em
phasize the neceaify ' of " good
judgment in their appropriation.
The Astobuk is of the opinion that
Democratic and Republican nomina
tions, as such; Bhould be ignored in
the oandidacy of 'city officials. The
names . of P. W. Weeks, J. Elbon,
Judge Bowlby and John Fox are
placed before the'electors to fill the
vacancies for councilmen at the forth
coming election. Mr, Weeks, with
commendable sincerity and public
spirit'offered to Step into the breach
and stand the contest, if no one else
on his side" could be found to
do so, but honestly declared he did
not covet the honor. What Mr. El
bon's sentiments are on this subject
we do- not know. "Messrs. Fox and
Bowlby, it is well known, are old res
idents of this city, have large inter
ests at Btake and are both thoroughly
identified withtthe welfare and pros
perity of the community at large, and
while casting no reflections on the
qualifications or standing of the other
two candidates, The astobian is of
the opinion that the affairs of tho
city government can very safely bo
intrusted to the care of Bowlby and
Fox.
