Messrs. A. R. Kanaga, S. W. Gear hart, F. W. Holt and Dr. H. A. Strickler returned from tho Mollala yesterday where they had each taken up a timber claim, the samo ones re jected by Messrs. Clinton, Stockton &Co. Yesterday afternoon as the steamer Novelty was making a landing on the inside of the O. R. & N Co.'rf dock she ran into the government steamer ( 'arcades, considerably damaging the whcelhouso and fantail. The Nov elty was apparently uninjured. It is the opinion of a good many that the matter of the collectorship and postoffice in this city, will be set tled upon as to tho appointees before the Oregon senators leave for Wash ington. It is a matter upon which it is impossible to get definite informa tion. Nelson Bennett telegraphed last Monday to the directors of the Asto ria .t South Coast Railway Co., that he was now ready to confer with them. Accordingly, Snpt. Thielsen and F. J. Taylor went to Port land, and were in conference with Mr. Bennett yesterday. Yesterday afternoon a young man employed at Trullinger's box factory had his left hand badly mangled by it coming in contact with a saw, almost severing the thumb from the hand. He was taken to St. Mary's hospital and medical aid summoned. The name of the young man we failed to learn. Yesterday afternoon while the stevedores were unloading coal from the Martha Fisher, a tub overturned letting the coal fall in tho hold of the ship, part of it striking two men about the head inflicting some slight wounds. One of tho men met with a similar accident Monday while working on the same ship. Tho steamer Novelty returned from Portland yesterday where she has been inspected by Messrs. Fer guson and McDermott. She will go to Iioring, Alaska, to be used for carrying fish for the Cutting Packing company. L. G. Haaven is in com mand. She will put to sea some time to day, weather permitting. A word of credit 13 due Sheriff Smith for his success with the recent tax roll. It had long been said that no exact or satisfactory return could be made on tho assessment roll, of this county at any time, but he came within 51 cents of having the debt and credit side of the ac count balance, whioh is considered pretty good. The latest invention in the way of a mechanical contrivance can be seen at Wm. Loeb&Oo.'s. It is a machine wherein all yon have to do is to drop two nickles into a slot and out will pop a small bottlo of whisky. The next thing in order is another one where one can drop a two bit piece and have an accident insurance policy for 85,000 for ono day, fur nished him. Duplicating the name of a steamer is liable to create confusion. Capt. Wm. Rehfeld, master and owner of the steamer O. K., has beon cruising in theso waters for some years, and now is naturally surprised that the owners of tho P. W. IF., in Portland have rechristened their craf tthe O. K. "But can they do that?" "Well, they have done it." The neat steamboat. City of Asto ria, practically a new boat, rebuilt and refitted throughout, is now run ning regularly between Astoria, Knappa and way landings. Capt. J. W. Babbidge is master, and the trav eling public will find satisfactory ac commodations on board this vessel. She leaves from Wilson & Fisher's wharf at 2 p. m., leaves Wood's Land ing Thursdays and Fridays at six a. ai and makes a round trip to Knappa and return every Saturday. A.V.Allen keeps a complete supply of fresh ClnlledShoalwater bay Oysters. Go to A. V. Allen's for a can of fresh Shoalwater bay Oysters. They are delicious. A DAY IN THE TIMBER. And Some Experiences Relative Thereto. Atone o'clock last Sunday after noon a party of three, E. C. Lewis, J. F. Halloran and M. C. Burnham, borrowed a small boat in the absence of the proprietor, and depositing therein some gumboots, blankets and provisions, pushed off for tho head waters. By dint of steady rowing the party reached a point twelve miles from Astoria by sundown and after a tramp along the tramway of the Sackettmill for about three miles more, put up for the night By sunrise the next morning, three solitary figures might have been seen and probably were seen stringing along in Indian file through the tall timber. To one of the party the trip had the charm of novelty, and so much was seen to attract attention and arouse curiosity that progress was somewhat slow. It had to be slow anyhow, for a trail through the timber is a species of boulevard that is a little trying to the toes. It is narrow, winding, up and down hill, filled with roots and snags and stubs and mud, trodden and retrodden, wet, tiresome and un pleasant, but it is the best can be done, so, reflecting that "there is nothing good or bad in this life but thinking makes it so," the party jogged on. The scenery is superb. On one side the Lewis and Clarkes, here a narrow stream rushing over a pebbly bed and curving through the hills, and on the other side high walls of green forest Spruce and hemlock, spruce and hemlock, spruce and hem lock, for miles and miles, as the nar row spongy trail led on and on deep er into tho heart of the forest pri meval. Sometimes skirting the stream, again 300 feet above its bed, while the water sang below, and the elk fled frightened into the deeper recesses of the lofty forest aisles, the party noid tnoir way. A soft and somber shade of subdued sunshine, is the only light in these deep woods, except occasionally a break of a few yards let in a brilliant shaft of sun light that lit up the emerald moss mat lay in soft tufts on each side of the trail and at the roots of tho trees. Flowers lined the way great; bell shaped blue and white blossoms, and small red flowers, and wild roses blushing at the sun's neglect and stately yellow stalks alternated with tho disgusting skunk cabbage that blooms and stinks and stinks and blooms, a blot on the landscape to any one who wears a nose that is in good working order. ; But the trail; hero a hill and there a swamp: here along a log uptilted with a mass of soil at the end, through the roots of which one must burrow like a mole, and there along slippery stones turning under one's weight, across tho stream, here through a quagmire of ooze and muck, and there along a shelving bank on flinty stones, demanding aonstant attention and en forcing the law of the road, "never walk one way and look another." If one did ho would come home minus a big toe and a large ear. inn FinrrnnsT thing seen By the writer on the trip was where a littlo stream came laughing down the hillside, and slipping with a merry little gurgle through tho soft moss and around the roots of a giant spruce, slid on to a great gray slab of stone, and shot swiftly down over an im mense basalt cliff 200 feet, into the Lewis and dlarko's that brawled along in noise and foam on the rocks far below. It looked as if the little cataract was sajing, "See how gracefully I glide; note the poetry of motion, and how beautiful the shining arch of liquid mirror I mako as I flash over this old rock." This waterfall is a beautiful sight One moment the water is pouring in a crystal sheet, reflecting all the hues of the forest, the next it is a shower of sparkling diamonds glistening in the sunlight, and dropping into shad ow, sends up hues and tints and col ors and a spray of silvery mist as it rushes down into the great bowl that receives it, hollowed out in tho rock over whoso moist edge we lean to see the last sparkle of tho water as it leaves tho sunlight of the upper air to plunge into the deep shadow that sur rounds the bottom of tho cliff. The party looked at this fall, called the "Bridal Veil." for twenty minutes. and to oblige the writer, Mr. Lewis hunted up the section lines and found that the aforesaid tail is just on the cross line of the NEi of the SEJf of the SWJi of sec. 18, T. 6, N., R. 9, W., W. M But wo hadn't come out to look at waterscapes or landscapes, so pushed on past cabins lone, but not lonely, and claims and pre emptions and tilings, and keeping our oyes peeled to keep our noses from being peeled, kept on our wind ing way, and walked and hopped and jumped and dodged along until one v. si., when throwing ourselves down by the river bank in the shade of a spruce that was a big tree when the Declaration of Independence was signed, and a good sized one when the Pilgrim Fathers landed, and a fair to middling ono when America discovered Columbus, and a right smart of a spruce sapling when Rich ard Coour d'Lion was fighting the Saracens in Syria, wo ate bread and bacon, washed down with spring wa ter, and after resting, again took up tho lino of march. Byron says "there is a pleasure in the pathless woods," but Byron never hunted a timber claim in Clatsop county; never cruised through the thicket and parted with part of his skin and some of his breeches, and slipping and sliding and floundering through some of tho finest but most ungetatable timber on God's foot stool, looked back and wondered how in tho world ho ever got through and how in tho world would he over get back. But all things end, even the limit of surveyed lands in Clatsop county, and as the shadows began to lengthen toward the east the three tired trav elers took tho back track and reached the limits of civilization before the sun had sunk behind the tallest trees. After a hearty meal and a pipe of solace, the party again took to tho boat and polled down the Lewis and Clarke's under the silent stars, getting to Astoria and to bed by midnight PERSONAL MENTION. J. A. Montgomery and wife are visiting in Portland. Capt J. H. D. Gray returned yes terday morning from a trip to Wash ington, D. C. Heals CooKed to Order. Private rooms for ladles and families: at Central Restaurant next to Foard & Stokes'. UP THE LEWIS AND CLARKE'S. Some Suggestions as To Improvements A recent trip up the Lewis and Clarke's shows that that section of country is making substantial growth. It is one of the richest parts of our country, and is fast coming to the front. Un each side fruitful farms, fertile bottoms 2 and fine farm houses make their appearance, and the increase in the number of cattlo is particularly noticeable. There are now about 150 cows regu larly milked at the places along the river, and the number is continually increasing, the land be ing a natural dairy section from the ferry landing as far as Nelson's, whose family is the farthest up the river. Albert Aylmore, D. J. Ingalls, Chas. Harder, G. P. Brower, Wm. Edgar, W. E. Dement, A. E. Turlay, Emil Althaber. G. Liebka, W. J. Ingalls, A. Anderson, Wm. True, Jos. Gibson, L. R. Abercrombie, G. Nel son, Wm. Hartell, Jonas Lind, and twenty others have good farms, many of them being in a fine state of culti vation. A. E. Turlay seems to be harvesting a fine crop of logs from his camp at present, being well fixed for that purpose, as are many others who are at present devoting more at tention to farming than to logging. At Chadwell P. O., mail carrier Rich 13 building a boat about the size of the Improvement. She is a propellor, and is framed for a general carrier, being able to take on stock. She will be launched in about six weeks. New dykes are being built of a sub stantial nature at various places along the river, and from the nature 01 tne country, and the usual smooth ness of the water will permanently and safely enclose some fine acres of fertile land. Liebke's and Hartell's places are at the head of navigation. Just above Chas. Harder is putting up a big barn and a new residence, and it will be a second deluge that will drown him out The land thereabouts is some times covered with the overflow of the Lewis and Clarke's, though tho stream is so low now as to afford lit tle fear in that direction. The people living on Lewis and Clarke's need two things, both re quiring a little aid: they need recog nition from the county, in the matter of roads, and they need recognition from tho general government in the matter of clearing the channel of the river. They have done a good deal them selves, and with a little help would do a good deal more. There should bo better opportunities for n road there and the snags should be cleaned out of tho channel. This last wo con sider the most important of the two. There is a good draught of water for about twelve miles, but it is danger ous for steamers by reason of a few snags, that could be removed at a very small expense. Lewis and Clarke's is an important section of the country, the river is a fine one, the tide rising and falling a distance of 28 miles from the ocean, and the channel should be cleared that steamboats could safely go and come.

Seiious Accident to Chas. Gratke. Chas. Gratke was repairing the sidewalk on his premises in front of the Central hotel yesterday morning. He stepped on the end of a plank whioh was not nailed. It tipped and threw him on the stones below, a dis tance or rourtoen feet He fell on his hftnri. striVinfr nn onmn inrrrtnA rocks which inflicted three severe wounds. Me wos picked up in an un conscious condition and taken, to St. Mary's hospital. Later in the after noon he regained consciousness. The surgeon in attendance is of the opin ion that his skull is not fractured, and that the wounds, though serious, are not necessarily dangerous, and that he will recover. Last evening he was suffering great pain, but his condition is not such as to occasion anxiety. Is Consumption Incurable? Read the follewing: Mr. C. H. Morris, Newark, ArkM says: "Was down with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and phy siclans pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It Is the finest medicine ever made." Jesse Middleware, Decatur, Ohio, says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption I would have died of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health." Try it.

A Salem dispatch says the gov ernor has received a complaint from fishermen of Astoria, to the effect that up the river fishermen nre using nets with meshes smaller than allowed by law. He has referred the letter to the fish commissioners for action in case the law is being violated. The governor has also called their atten tion to frequent complaints against trapmen for violating the law by not allowing salmon free exit through their traps daring tho weekly close time. Mne Million Witches Banted t Spresger computes that during the Christian era no fewer than nine mill ion witches were immolated. In Eng land, tho last excution for witchcraft took places in 1716. but in Illinois n late as 1780 to 1790, several unfortunates were put to death.
