2.3 lite gaily gifltoriatt. ASTORIA. OREGON: TIICESDAT.. -MARCH 7. 1889. Electrician Edison is going to spar kle with a 10,000,000 candle-power at the Paris exposition. If anybody can reflect honor on America be can. The kerosene used in Dakota freezes solid at 7 below zero, and it is as much a part of the household work to melt a cake of kerosene as it is to wash the dishes or aweep the floor. A Chicago broker was called worth 85,000.003 the day he died. A -week later his assets -were only S250.000, and when his debts were paid there wasFjnst enough remaining to put him up a 8300 monument The Kansas house has passed a bill to prevent alien landholding in the state. It provides that an alien -who has signified his intention of becom ing a citizen must do so in six years or forfeit his land. It also forfeits foreign leases. Washisgtok selected his advisers a hundred years ago. lie chose Thomas Jefferson for secretary of state, Alex ander Hamilton for secretary of the treasury and General Knox for secre tary of war. These constituted all of his executive family at first. The people of Preston, Canada, are in a state of mild excitement over the fact that the Pope, out of the thou sands of jnbileo presents sent him from all parts of the world, choso for his own personal use an office desk made bv a firm in their town. Charles A. PiH.sntmr, the great Minneapolis miller, told a reporter Tuesday that the wheat crop was very short and flour would advance in price to a very high figure. In re gard to the flour trust he said it was "busted" before it was formed. TnE movement in the Minnesota legislature to appropriate 8100,000 for the purchase of seed wheat for farmers this spring gives n glimpse of suffering in that state. There i3 rea son to believe that the situation is much worse in some parts of Dakota. North End, Md., has an enterprise which has no counterpart elsewhere in the worli It is an establishment for the removal of the tin from the sheet iron in scrap tin. If North End wasn't so far from this ond, the Col umbia river canneries could keep that establishment busy. Governor Francis of Missouri ha3 performed the rare and difficult feat of complimenting both the blue and gray by appointing an adjutant-gener al who, it is said, went into the war with one color and came out in the other, having served under both flags before the war was over. In Philadelphia one night week be fore last representatives Long and Breckinridge made after dinner speeches. The ex-governor of Massa chusetts remarked: "Mr. Breckin ridge is a distinguished member of the retiring Democratic party, while I am a retiring member of the dis tinguished Republican party." The New York Press suggests an effective plan to wipe out the national surplus. Boston, it says, needs S10, 000,000 to protect its harbor, Now York 823,000,000 and other cities smal ler sums. If our seaboard cities are put in a proper attitude of defense, the Press thinks tho tariff question would be settled for four years at least The financial statement of the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St Paul railway company for 1888, filed with the "Wis consin commissioners at Madison, is the most unfavorable report yet made by any western road for tho past year, not excepting the Chicago, Bnrling ton & Quincy. Disbursements were 84,689,703 in excess of the gross in come. The naval authorities are lending the Nicaragua canal enterprise a cord ial assistance. Commander R. D. Ev ans, secretary of the lighthouse board, has been granted leave of absence and goes out to Greytown as superintend ent of construction for the Maritime Canal company. Naval engineers have been active in the preliminary work. Marshal von Moltke will, next Friday complete his seventieth year of active service in the Prussian army. The anniversary is to be kept with mueh ceremony. The lata emperor, William I, was the only person in this century who has yet celebrated it, as field marshal von Wrangle, who lived long enough, retired from ac tive service before the seventy years had expired. The work of surveying the entire route of the Congo railroad has been nished and work will probably soon be begun. The length of the route isjabout two hundred miles. The en gineers reckon that it will take two or three years to build it, and cost about live milhon dollars. When finished it will bo the most important means yet secured for opening the heart of Africa to civilization. Some parties boring for gas at Litchfield, 111., were horrified at strik ing blood and afterward hearing cries at the depth of 300 feet A voice called up to them through the hele: "You have killed some one down liereP' Later the mystery was solved by the presentation of a bill for 850 'for one mule killed bv drill." There was a coal mine underneath which the drill had pierced, and struck a mule, killing him. Ml A British government vessel, the Egeria, has been making some sound ings south of the Friendly islands, and reached depths of 4,430 fathoms, or 26,580 feet The TJ. S. steamer Tuscarora, sounding on the Japan coast, found 4,655 fathoms, or 27,900 feet The Blake, TJ. S. war steamer, found 4,475 fathoms off Porto Rice. So the extreme depth of the ocean is about five miles. At these depths the temperature is very nearly uni form at 33 degrees Fahrenheit, or a little above freezing for fresh water. The pressure at these depths is nearly six tons, or 12,000 pounds to a square inch. A writer in Harpei ' Weekly, de scribing our navy, says that besides the wooden ships, there are now afloat building, or authorized, thirty-one of steel or iron. Four of them, the Roach cruisers, are in commission, "fast, well-armed and efficient" Two more can bo put into active service on very short notice, the Yorktown and Vesuvius.. Three which will soon follow, the Charleston, Baltimore and Newark, "ought to be unsur passed by any otjjer ships in the world," and two of which will also be ready within ajtwelvemonth. Lieuten ant Kelly says that "the Philadelphia resembles the Baltimore, the San Francisco the Charleston, though both the latter ships have their bat teries better disposed and are guaran teed under penalty to make nineteen knots." As to atmorplates and guns, wo now have establishments for pro ducing them "which within a year will make us independent of the world." Before the Land Commissioner). Salem, March 5. The board of state land commissioners, composed cf the governor, secretary of state and treasurer, met to-day in regular session. The principal business was the consideration of the application of Judge Aaron E. Wait, of Portland, and Col. Adair, of Astoria, for tho completion of their purchases of swamp lands. Judge Wait holds a certificate of purchase to 626 acres on tho Colum bia river, in Clatsop county, under the laws of 1870, which did not limit the amount of individual purchase. Under that law the buyer paid 20 per cent down and was given ten years to pay the remainder. He allowed the time to elapse and then the law of 1887 was enacted, which revived the right of such certificate holders, but limited the amount to which one person could obtain title to 640 acres, and compelled him to make full pay ment on, or before January 1, 1889. This period has also passed; and be sides, the law provides that, after January j, losy, no one person can purchase more than 320 acres, and now Mr Wait, as well as the board, is puzzled to know what to do. He wants the 620 acres, or none of the tract, and tho board does not seo its way clear to giving him the title; so the matter has been laid over until tbe next meeting, for the purpose of seeking legal light on the subject. Colonel Adair's case is almost par allel, only his purchaso included some 4,000 acres, and he is now content to take 320, provided the money already paid can be applied to paying for it. The whole thing goes over until the next meeting. Tlio New Discovery.

A NEW PLAN. Fresh Alaska Salmon Transported. New Haven, Conn., Mar. 6. Lieu tenant Howard, U.S. navy, of this city, has organized a stock company for the purpose of establishing a salm on fishing and fur trading post in Alaska. The business of the company will be entirely different from that of any other of the companies now engaged in this trade. They intend neither to smoke or can tho catch, but instead by moans of a preserva tive, will be able to transport the fish in a perfectly fresh condition to the market of San Francisco. By so do ing the company expects to gain con trol of the market for salted fish. When the fish now reach San Fran cisco they have lost their delicate fla vor and bright pink color. The prob able location of the company's estab lishment will be on the Yukon river. THE ALASKA BOUNDARY LINE. Washington. Mar. fi Th nr;. dent has sent to the house corres pondence upon the question of the undetermined boundary between Alas ka and British America. The corre spondence embraces reports of confer ences held between Prof. W. H. Dall, Of the United Stntpq cTPnrrrnnlimjil surveys, and Dr. G. V. Dawson, of oanacia, upon that subject. Dall thinks the boundary should be deter mined bv the wafprsTiPfl nf tlm four great rivers of Alaska, all of tho land uraineu Dy rivers flowing seaward to belong to the United States, and all the land drained by rivers flowiug eastward to Canada. Plans of the survey accompany the correspond nece, with a lengthy argument from each of the commissioners, showing why his plan is the best. THE ABMX SUPPORTS BOULANGER. Paris, March 6.
