A number oi (JUeuali3 people are considerably worried over reports of contests being filed on their timber claims. Almost every man in town is holding down a claim and several of them have been notified that their final proof would be obstructed by government agents. The steamers Slate of California, and Michigan sailed for San Fran cisco yesterday. Tho Manznita ar rived in from the Sonnd. The Brit ish ship Hornby Castle, 1,43G, arrived in from Iquiqui.

Thero seems to be nothing definite as to morning mails any mere: no mail onmt nn iha 7?fiM TAnlonlav morning ancHhere is nothing certain I 133 to its coming this morning. Th6 morning mail was a great convenience to Astoria business men and its cess ation would be a matter of regret. The latest thing in the way of adul teration is slate dust. It is used to adulterate the pepper that vou shake on your beef steak 5 per cent, pep per ana vo per cent, siate oust is said to be the proportion.

A Collinsville, Cal., dispatch says: -xnere is a Dig run or. salmon in the bacramento rivet for this time of year, nna k iookb lavoraoio lor a large quantity of fish this season. If the run continues the cannery will soon 6tart up. The price will open at 4 cents a pound, which will give the fishermen on an average 60 cents per usu.' Captain Sebree, United States in spector of the Thirteenth lighthouse district, issues the following notice to manners: -Notice is hereby given that Beacon No. 2. in main shin elmn. nel from Tongue Point to Jim Crow point, Columbia river is carried away. The beacon and the white lens lantern light will be re-estab lished as early as practicable. Co. "H" drills regularly, and holds its organization intact. During the Samoan excitement the La Grande militia received a telegram from the adjutant ordering them to Portland at once to quell the German attack. They were ready and at the depot waiting for the train when a second telegram ordered them "to proceed immediately to Hot lake and take a bath." C. W. Haskins. of 776. Eleventh street, Oakland, Cal., is making a list of immigrants to the Pacific coast in lola, who are estimated to have num bered 00,000, and requests any Forty- niner wiiose name is not recorded in the books of any pioneer association, to send him n postal card containing the name, the time of arrival and route traveled, with the name of the vessel, it by water. Another bevy of timber land hun ters went up river last evening. When it comes to timber land, the local supply does not satisfy the local demand. There are thousands of acres of timber land yet untaken in Clatsop county, as fine as the sun ever shone on, but they are not sur veyed, nor in the market. In another column The Astorian gives the man ner in which surveys are arranged when desired for timber and agricul tural land. The naval commission now at Port land, is expected down this way about Monday. They have secured an option on 800 acres of land at Port Orchard, on the Sound, as data to present to congress, and will prob ably do the same thing elsewhere. The commission does not locate the site of the navy yard. It examines and recommends, and congress does the locating. Of course the recom mendation of the commission will al most to a certainty be adopted by congress. Messrs. Strauss and Selig, tho ener getic managers of Ross' opera house, in case they secure a lease of that building, will introduce some changes that will add to the convenience and comfort of the amusement loving peo ple of Astoria. They will put in a vestibule, an inner door, build cloak and dressing rooms, where a lady can lay aside her wraps; build a partition from about where the steps begin and arrange for permanent seats, put in heaters, kalsomiue and paper the auditorium, and do away so far as possible with the noises and the breezes of the gallery. Says a San Francisco dispatch of the 20th: "Of the thirteen vessels which crossed out to sea from this port yesterday, twelve were headed for the north, and eight of these were bound to Alaska, to engage in the salmon trade. These vessels carried up supplies and men for the canneries in that territory. Clearances for Alaska since January 1, comprise thirty vessels of all sizes, including nino small steamers. It is known that there are sixteen more vessels listed to follow those that have cleared this year, including two new steamers. This makes a total of for ty-six vessels for Alaska this year." Of Ovide Musin, the violinist, who will appear at Ross' opera bouse to morrow evening, tho Boston Herald in a late issue, speaks of his appear ance in that city as follews: "Ovide Musin, the violinist was the bright star of the evening, and he proveu to be an artist whose presence will al ways be welcome here in the future. His playing has the true characteris tics of genius, anu gives unquaiineu pleasure. His tone is so large and true, hb bowing free and his senti ment is so refined and his playing is so marked in its individuality, that he controls Ins audience and fairly commands their applause. His suc cess was immediate." The bark Margaret arrived in yes terday and docked at the Main street wharf. She has made a remarkably quick trip. She left San Francisoo Sunday, and yesterday morning was off the mouth of the river, four days out. She has pig tin, lead, salt, 10, 000 cans and a large lot of miscella neous cannery supplies. She has been chartered by the Russian Amer ica Packing Co., and will finish load ing here for Afognak, Alaska. There is a whole cannery building, framed and ready to put up. on the dock, that she will take on. Sho will get away about Wednesday next She will be followed by the steamer Afognak,be longing to the same company. F. R. Stokes, of Foard & Stokes, is superin tendent or the company, ne win leave San Francisco to-day, will be here Sunday and will join the vessel hPTt Ha will be accompanied by J. R. Gilstrap. From the number of Astorians going to Alaska this year it looks as thoneh The Astobian will have to start a branch estaoiianment up there. r.-iriinw'i: r.Hip5 S3.00 Fine Shees: also Flexible Hand turned French Kids, at . 1 J.

CMlireE Cry fwPitclier's Castoria PUBLIC LAND SURVEV. How to Get a Survey Under the General Appropriation or Special Deposit System. Owing to the great inquiry from settlers and Tothers, relative to the survey of public lands tho following is published as the two methods un der which they are obtained, also the law regulating the same, and by which land officers are guided. The first method is under that which is known as the QEKEItAI, AFrKOPEIATION FOE THE SUEVEI OF PUBUO IANDS. An annual appropriation is made by congress for such purposes for the United States at large, and this sum is appropriated to the different states and territories by the commissioner of the general land office. The congress of tho United States also fixes the rates of mileage allowed for surveys. Owing to inadequate appropriations for that purpose, it is frequently the case very few of the many petitions on file can be enter tained; so that, when available funds are placed at officers disposal, they have to take into consideration the needs of the settlers in the different sections and advertise for bids where in their judgment the necessities are greatest. Under this method of obtaining surveys no special form of applica tion is required: but before a survey of any township can be considered it is necessary that a petition for such survey be forwarded to (the office of the surveyor general ot uregon, or or. Washington, signed, so far as practi cable, by all the actual settlers in the township, giving the number and range and general description or tne character of the land. It should shew: What portions of the township, if any, cannot be surveyed, and the reason why it would bo impractica ble to survey; what portions are suit able for agriculture; what portions are more valuable for timber than for agricultural purposes; what portions are mountainous, rocky, swampy, etc. ; whether there are indications of minerals and ot what kind. If there are streams or bodies of water that re quire meandering, an approximate estimate of such meander lines should be shown. The petition should also give 'the number of actual settlers and their postoihee address, and in what portiou ot tho township they are located, the character and condi tion of their inhabitancy ot the land, the extent and value ot their improve ments, the use made of the land, and the quantity under cultivation. The situation of the township in respect to lines of public communication and the progress of settlement of the country should be described, and all facts and circumstances stated which will enable an intelligent judgment to be formed as to the propriety of making the survey applied for. It all items of information herein mentioned cannot be given with ex actness, an approximation, as near as possible, should be made. Only peti tions for the survey of an entire town ship or the surveyable portion of the same can be considered. SURVEYS UNDER THE SPECIAIi DEfOSIT STSTE1I. This system being restricted by law to survey for preemption and homo stead settlers is not applicable to the survey of desert lands, nor to swamp lands, nor to lands valuable chiefly for timber, nor to waste or unculti vable lands of any character, nor to lands occupied, enclosed or con trolled, for other than settlement purposes, nor to private land claims, nor to townships within known min eral belts, or known to contain min eral lands. The only persons who are author ed to apply for such surveys are actual bona fide settlers, who have attached themselves permanently to the soil. Application for surveys must be made under oath, and a sufficent number of settlers must join in such applications to show that the survey is desired for the benefit of existing actual settlements, as contemplated by law. It is required that all surveyors general shall critically examine all applications for surveys and they ore held to a strict accountability for their recommendation of application, or contracts afterwards found to be fictitious, fraudulent or speculative. When applications are received and approved they are forwarded to Washington, and upon the approval of the general land office the sur veyor general is authorized to furn ish tho applicants with an estimate ot the cost of survey and office work. This estimated amount must be do posited by the applicants in the First National bank ot Portland, Oregon, in such sums as that no certificate will bear a face value of more than S200. That bank will issne triplicate certificates of deposit, and when re ceived, the originals must be trans mitted to the secretary of the treasury, the duplicates to the office and the triplicates retained by the applicants. Triplicate certificates of deposit aro receivable from the settlers mak ing the deposits in part payment for their lands situated in the townships the surveying ot which is paid for out ot suoh deposits. After the receipt of the duplicate certificates of deposit, aggregating in sums equal to tne amount as esti mated for cost of snrvey, two invita tions for proposals to execute tho survey must be posted for 30 days, one in the general land office and the other id the local land orhce, within the district ot whioh the land sought to be surveyed is situated, and after the expiration of that time, and at a date specified, all bids that may have been received are opened and the contract is awarded to the lowest bidder within the rates allowed by law, who must be a reliable and competent surveyor. But the richt is reserved to reject any and all bids. All public surveys, whether under a general appropriation or from special deposits are matters of con tract, and surveyors general have no patronage of this kind at their dis posal. The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Suit, Drugeist Blppus, Inch, testifies: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief: in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi cine I have ever handled in my 20 years' experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou sands of others have added their testi mony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at J. W.

Be cause if it is out of order you are one of the most miserable creatures liv ing. .Give it a fair, honorable chance and see if it is not the best friend you have in the end. Don't smoke in the morning. Don't drink in the morn ing. It you must smoke and drink wait until your stomach is through with breakfast.

A Newspaper Obitnary. The following is an extract from the obituary notice of a Kansas news paper, published in another paper of the same town. "The pen is silent; the office scis sors have been laid away to rust. The stillness of death pervades the very atmosphere where once the hoarse voice of tho devil yelling 'copy!' or 'whatinhell'sthisword?' was wont to resound.
