Garfield arrived from San Fran cisco yesterday, to Knappton to load lumber. A portion of the city council coun cil met last evening, and after discuss ing affairs of public importance, ad journed, informally. Six passenger cars will bo down to day from Kalama for the Astoria and no, no, we mean the Ilwaco and Oysterville railroad.

Miller says that item in yesterday's AsToniAN about wind in Nebraska wasn't a circumstance to the way the wind blows in Kansns. One time, he says, he saw the wind in Kansas pick up a big gray mule and hold him against tho bide of a bam Tor three bourn. That was wind, that was. It is thought that the damage to the Alliance by reason of her recent collision with the Danube in the Willamette, will represent a value of SG,000. The damage to the cargo is -stimated to be between 310,000 and 315,000. The vessel is being repaired, and it is thought -will bo readv to go on her route again about June 1st. II. B. Miller, of Grant's Pass, sends a pretty pamphlet descriptive of Josepnine county. It has a neatlv engraved map of Oregon, and which is notable, in being the only map of Or egon we ever saw besides a Northern Pacific map that didn't have Astoria on it. If the pamphlet lies as badly as the map it is tough on Josephine. dishing Post No. 14, G. A. R. last evening installed the following of ef ficers: Sam'l Elmore, cemmander: G. W.

The railroad subscription committee were out yesterday and trot subscrip tions aggregating $6,000: one from the van JJusen estate of 83,000: one from Sam'l Elmore, of $2,000; and one from J. W. Gearhart, of $1,000. There are several wealthy men- and women whose names would look well on that stock list who are apparently not lmDuea witn a tnorongn realiza tion of the fact that "Faith without works is dead." Col. Jas. Taylor yesterday reduced to writing his proposition and made a handsome addition to it He now not only proposes to conditionally convey the 8,000 feet of water frontage previ ously spoken of, but will donate 250 feet additional from Phillip's Point, farth er east Thatjs, where the line of the proposed 8.000 feet frontage began. he moves the initial point 250 feet farther this way, so as to take on a strip running out to the ship channel, worth, aa frontage there sells, at least $10,000. This in addition to the 8,000 feet already promised. For this entire, he is to get 250 shares of stock in the company. The committee are sanguine of success and expect to readily receive sufficient subscriptions to make up the additional hundred thousand necessary to secure the val uable frontage for terminal facilities. Another subscription paper will be started this morning. there, and are conspicuous by their ab- some sence. There ia another list, not a nronosed gift, not a subsidy, but a solid and substantial investment the list of subscribers to the Astoria & South Coast railroad company's stock. Some names that were on the sub sidy list would look well on the list of railroad stock subscriptions also. and some are also consniououslv ab sent from botk Stanley's Seaside chicken ranch is unique in many respects. It's not the size of it (ho feeds 2,200 chickens) so mucn as its location and the quality of the eggs. It is bounded on three sides by the ocean, and the chickens know it For sometime Stanley used to cut the tide table out of The As toria and put it where the chickens could see it, but that is no longer nec essary. The chickens watch the tide themselves now, and at low tide when the beach is bare they go down and eat of the marine food brought in by the tide. When the tide is out the table is set, and the chickens partake thereof. The result of such food is an egg that is recommended by doctors as a specific for rheumatism, dyspep sia and general debilitv.

CMlureaCryMeJier'sCastoris The Astorian desires to direct the attention of those who think that their subscription is a "gift," and don't re alize its value as an investment to one little fact A year ago the Ilwaco railroad peo ple were coaxing Astorians to Stake some stock in their road. Some took a few, "just to help the thing along." Others didn't 'realize the profitable nature of the investment and declined. "Oh, ne: you don't catch me with any such proposition as that: I'm too fly: not any." Now what is the fact? Simply this: that yesterday an agent of Jacob Kamm's was in the city buy ing up all the Astoria holdings of stock in that Ilwaco road that he could find at twenty, per cent, premium. That is, that for every $100 that an Astorian put into the Ilwaco' road he can get 8120 to-day. Jacob Kamm knows what he is doing. So my dear rioh friend, if you are "too poor" to subscribe toward the Astoria and South Coast road, borrow a few thousand from Mr. Ladd, of Portland, at ten per cent, and use that money to rat hold of some stock in this road thai; is going to be built. It will pay you, even though you had to pay ten per cent, per annum for the use of the money you get the stock with. Does any one suppose Jacob Kamm is giving $60 for $50 in jrtock for fun? Does any one suppose that where the Ilwaco road pays one uunur, tno Astoria roaa wm not pay ten? And still in the face of this which cannot be contradicted, there are men here, claiming to be intelligent, and who would get red in the face if told they were not capable 'of correct judgment, who hum uand haw and duly dally and paw over their twenties and either decline or fail to see the direct profit, the desirable investment afforded by a block of stock in the Astoria and South Coast road.

MMiaiMtitifii PILOT BOAT MAINTENANCE. Discussed Ta Portland Board of Trade. At Monday's meeting Of the Port land board of trade tb matter of maintaining a pilot boat on the bar was brought uft by Mr. McKee, Bays the Oregonian of the 14th. He said there was a misunderstanding be tween the pilots', the legislature and the board. The pilots claim that the board guaranteed to mlintain the pilot boat, and that this includes not only paying and feeding a crew and cook, but also half a dozen pilots. He asked the board to look into the mat ter and say somethtmr definite in ro. gard to it. Captain Noyes produced the letters of pilot Campbell in regard to the matter in which it was alleged that Messrs. Corbett and Thompson pledged the board to maintain the pilot boat. Neither Mr. Thompson nor Mr. Cor bett was present, but several mem bers stated that -they denied having made such guarantee as claimed. Considerable .discussion followed, the purport of which was that the board would do what it had guaran teed. The question was to find just what this was. If the board had guar anteed to maintain the pilot schooner, it must bo done, but it was thought that it was asking too much to require tho board to pay the wages of a half a dozen pilots, and no one -had any idea that the board' had undertaken to guarantee anything of the sort. It was thought that it the board main tain the schoonef the pilots could sail her or not, as they pleased President Macleay said that if the board liad committed themselves they would find funds to carry out what ever they had guaranteed. No one wished to go back on any pledge made: the city was too wealthy and there was too much honor among the mem bers of the board for any of them to think of repudiation. It was finally concluded that tho board had pledged themselves that theO. R &N. Co. would maintain the pilot schooner, and if the com pany did not the board would. II was thought there would be no trouble in arranging matters amicably with both the company and the pilots. On motion the matter was referred to a committee of three, a ways arid means committee, with the under standing that the board was tn ram out its guarantees. It was thonrfit everything could bo arranged within a week, and the committee was in. Btractea to report as soon as able.
