Wharton and Wallace are packing and shipping east a carload of stur geon n week, from Columbia City. Orilway fc Co. are credited with the intention of bnilding n big sawmill this spring at the month of Abernethy creek, above Oak Point. The rains of tho week have been a Godsend to many loggers throughout tho county who have needed a rise in the waters to float their logs. It will be a pity it the law makers at Salem allow the Willamette sports to eat all the Mongolian pheasants before even a seed one gets into Clat sop county. They Bay it's fun up at Saleni.jrhen the legislature gets discussing marine matters to hear a member from away up at the headwaters talk about "a flock of ships." E. H. Flagg, who has been clearing S150 a month running the St. Helens Mist, has sold his paper and is going to blow in his surplus in an effort to start a paper at Salem. H. R. Kincaid has been editor and proprietor of tho Salem Slate Jour nal for just 25 years. His epidermis is I1, inches thick and he possesses the fortunate facility of forgetting.

Mr. John D. Wilcox, of tho defunct Portland News, says his mistake wa3 in not changing the name of tho pa per when he took "hold of it. Jiut J. D.'s primary mistake seems to have been in taking hold of it at all. The demand for timber land in tho northwest is immense. Tho Skagit News in its published notices of ap plications to purchase timber land has dates set for appearance at tho register's office up to the 30th of next November. John Miller Murphy, tho wealthy proprietor of tho Olympia Standard. the oldest Democratic paper in Wash ington territory, walks abroad dressed in tailor made suits and adorned with gems of great value. He only edits his paper for amusement and is en nmorcd of tho climato of Olympia. The Boston Comedy Co. aud tho Astoria city council begin an enter tainment next Monday evening, the former at the opera house and the latter in the council chamber. Both shows are highly spoken of. thoutrh the Boston Comedy Co. seems to hold together better than the homo organ ization. Nolico is hereby served on the ninety members or 1 ho Oregon legislc tnre that Astoria doesn't want her charter amended till Astorians have a chance to see and kuow what the amendments ore. It doesn't look good to have a bill going through, of which those most interested know nothing. One of the nassensers on the steamer Telephone's Inst trip was a fall blooded cockor spaniel pup, the property ot v. J. Packard, at l-'r. Ste vens, and is of pure breed. There are a few good dog.i in this neighbor- liood. lhis is one step in the direa tion of replacing worthless curs with n good grade of dogs. On her arrival from T.irirnnnl flm British bark Archer entered 1,950 boxes tin plate to dischargo here, the duty on which is S2.10G. Yesterday an additional 2,000 boxes were en tered, tho duty on which will be S2.1G0, making a total duty ot S4.2G6. The boxes average 103 lbs. each, and the duty is one cent per pound. It is not good policy for real estate owners to put fancy prices on their property and keep away intending buyers who mean business. This has been done twice in this city this week, and its practice (tends to keep us back. Astoria property is valua ble, and n thing is always worth what it will fetch, but there is no use in putting the figures away up out of reason. Tho Portland World hears that H. W. Scott, of tho Uregonian, will bo the candidate ot the anti-Mitchell element in the legislature of '91 for United States senator. Doubtful It is not likely that Mr. Scott would care to step down into the senate of the United States. No newspaper man who has a pride iu his workand moans to stay with it allows any pos sibility of any office to bother him. From advance sheets of the gov ernment reports of the cereal yield in the United States during 1883, the following figures are ebtained: The yield ot wheat was 414,863,000 bushels or 41,000,000 less than in 1837; of mis amount, uamornia contriDUtea 28,451,000, Oregon 14.548.000. Nevada 200,000, and Washington 9,006,000 Dusneis. j.ne yield or oats was 7UJ, 735,000 bushels, and of corn 1,987,790,- uuu ousueis. PERSONAL MENTION. Sidney Dell is in tho city. Mrs. Scott Swetland ha3 returned to Vancouver. J. Q. A. Bowlby returned from Sa lem yesterday morning. N. J. Levinson, as good na all round newspaper man as thero is in the northwest, has given up news paper work and is going into a busi ness in Port Townsend in which he can make some money. . Clatsop Road and Construction Co. The meeting of the ClatsoD road and construction company last even ing was presided over by J. W. Conn; 129 shares of stock were represented. Secretary C. R. Thompson read a re port which states that the total amount of subscriptions paid was &4.418, of which S3.800 was in cash and S618 in labor and material. There was S7.22 in the treasury, and there was a bal ance still due on delinquents from subscriptions of 8057. The assets of the company were this SG57, and ma terial amounting to S1C5.50, making a total ot ssisiiJ. On motion, the ropoit of the sec retary was adopted. A motion to give delinquents thirty days longer to pay up was also adopted. A committeo consisting of S. S. Gordon, L W. Case and E. W. Tal lant was appointed to report on the matter of extension of Concomly street to connect with tho present ter minus of tho road, nnd a recess was taken. The committee then reported a petition to the council, asking that honorable body to take fitting steps to haro Concomly street so extended eastward. The report was adopted and the committeo instructed to pre sent the petition at (he next meeting of the counoil. On motion a vote of thanks was tendered the directors and secretary, tho list of delinquents was again read and tho meeting ad journed to February 25th, at tho same time and place. - . Federal Office Expirations. Hon. John Hobson, collector of customs, was interviewed yesterday afternoon on the delicate question of successorship, and pleasantly direct ed attention to his commission framediind hanging on the wall. It is dated January 22, IsSG, and expires January 22, 1890. "I was speoially commissioned in June. 1885," said Mr. Hob3on, "and took charge on tho 10th of that month. It was during a recess of congress and my nomination by pres ident Cleveland was not confirmed by congress till some little time after it met in wintor session." A dispatch to Tnn Astokian sels tho dato ot Mr. Hobson's confirma tion as collector, and Mr. Bell's con firmation as postmaster, on tho same date January 20th, 18SC. Mr. Hobson says he is only desir ous that some good Republican shall be nppointed to succeed him. It is not at nil probable that cither of these gentlemen will be disturbed in tho administration ot their duties till snch time as their commissions from the president shall lapse.

Johnson, butcher, received a telegram from Beaverton saying that his son had shot and killed himself. Mr. Johnson immediately went out to that place to learn the particulars. William Johnson lived on a farm near Beaverton and had a wife and several children. A -LOCK OUT. New Yobk. Jan. 25. Feather man ufacturers ot this, city to-day de clined to grant tho scale of wages demanded by the working women's union. They haTe locked out eight hundred girls. The latter are now posted about the shops to keep other girls from taking their places. o'beien not on hand. Dublin. Jan. 25. When the trial of Wm. O'Brien was resumed to-day O'Brien was absent. The trial pro ceeded and ho was convicted and sen tenced to four months imprisonment without hard labor. The police have discovered no clue to O'Brien's whereabouts. A COMPLICATED BILL. Washington. Jan. 25. The senate committee on territories took up the house bill, passed the other day, for the admission of north and bo nth Dakota, Montana, Washington terri tory and New Mexico into the Union. After a session of two hours one of the committee said: "We have spent the entire session in considering this bill. It is noticeable for its contra dictory provisions nnd inadequacy to get any territory or part of a ter ritory into the Union as a state. The attempt of a bill ot this character to provide for local necessities of the different territories seem to have been such a failure that if any state might come in under its provisions it would be unable even iu court to as- cortain what its rights are. As the bill now stands it is probably the most complicated and most difficult to interpret and administer that ever passed either house of congress. It we aro to pass it the measure has been referred to a sub-committee with instructions to see if the incon sistencies can be reconciled so that wo can recommend its passage." WILL COJIE TO AMEBICA. Piitsbubg, Jan. 25. Edward James, a prominent English tin-plate manufacturer, is in the city looking up a location for the Pope Iron & Tin plate Co. ot Tipton, England, which it is proposed to move here. Mr. James stated to a Dispatch reporter that over 51,000,000 had been contrib uted by English tin-plate manufactur ers and merchants to defeat the clause in the senate tariff bill imposing a duty on tin-plate, and this sum had been judiciously placed in the hands of lobbyists for that purpose. Now that the bill has passed, the industry will likely be wonnd up in England and many workers will flock to this country. THE HAYTIAN TROUBLE. New Yoke, Jan. 25. General Con treras, a military attaohe of the Hoy tian legation, it is said, has received a cablegram from Port-au-Prince which contains an account of a deci sive action between the opposing forces, resulting in the defeat of Hip polyte's army and the capture of Hip poly te himself. TIIBEATENED DESTRUCTION TO MINES. Charleston, W. Va., Jan. 25. Gov ernor Wilson has been asked to pro tect the men and mines of the Turkey Gap Coal and Coke company, nt Elk horn. A mob has threatened to de stroy the mines. Tho governor has promised military aid, if necessary. SALE OP THE "VOLUNTEER" DENIED. Boston, Jan: 25. General Paine to-day denied the reported sale of the yacht Volunteer. The report grew out of tho fact that the Volunteer is in the market How Men Die. If wo know all the methods of ap proach adopted by nn enemy we are the better enabled to ward off the danger and pospone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength of the body suffices to enable it to op pose the tendency toward death. Many however have lost these forces to such nn extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to tho weakened Lungs will make all tho difference between sudden death and many years of usef nl life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, uoid or nny trouble of the Throat or Lungs, gjve that old and wellknown remedy Boschee'a German Syrup, a careful trial. It will prove what inousands say or it to be, tho "bene factor of any home." Alexis Godey Dead. Alexis Godey, ono of Gon. J. O. Fremont's guides on bis second ex pedition in 184344, died January 19th, in Loa Angeles, Gal. Godey was one of the men who on June 29, 1813, started with Gen. Fremont from the Missouri river. They reached The Dalles and on the 25th of No vember started in search of Klamath lake. They reached Sutter's Fort on March 8, 1844, after a desperate strug gle over the mountains, in which two men became insane and thirty-three out ot sixty-seven horses and mules were lost or killed. They spent two weeks at the fort and then the expe dition loft on a return trip, leaving six men in California. Godey was ono of those six men. E.MITLED TO THE BEST.
