that the catch is fully up to that of
last year up to this time.
That was a touching sight when the

A large number of Tacoma people
are taking up land in Washington
Co., mostly timber claims. The two
Hilisboro papers, received yesterday,
iiave ia iana notices in tnem. This
is an illustration of the rapidity with
which timber land is being pur
chased under the act ot June 3, 1878.

it is possible for men to be.
The 75th anniversary of Norwegian
independence was finely celebrated
by a grand ball at Boss' opera house
last evening, which was, in every way,
a success There was a large
number present, and all en
joyed themselves to the utmost. The
hall was handsomely decorated,
and the committees who had
the matter in charge deserve
credit for their efforts in making the
evening so pleasant a one to all who
attended.

interesting feature. The electrio clock

A prominent O. P.. & N. official is
quoted as stating that experience has
demonstrated the bar and river tow
ing to be wholly unsatisfactory, and
that it is the policy and intention of
theO.R&N. Co. to build a road
down the river to Astoria. The As
tobian takes this statement with a
grain of salt. It may be that that
gentleman said that Ho knows it, but
his superiors haven't yet found it out.
Of course such action is inevitable,
but it isn't looked for in this quarter
as likely to take place right away.
They take life easy in Caseyville,
Kentucky. Last Friday Geo. Elmer
who sells stoves in Caseyville went
into the office of R. G. Thomas who
edits the Herald and went for him
because of a little item in the paper
that morning. Then Elmer pulled
his little gun and shot the editor in
the leg, and he not liking that kind of
leaded matter yanked his revolver out
and killed Elmer. Then Thomas
wrote the whole business up aud got
a scoop on his loathsome contempo
rary. Elmer was buried yesterday.
One of the funniest things seen by
the writer for ever so long is a column
article in the last issuo of the Port

After apologizing and crawfishing and
talking sensible nnd otherwise about
his little private griefs, worries and
vexations, common and known to all
of the craft, but rarely discussed in
print, he says: "It is difficult for an
editor of a paper in a town as small as
this to please everyone." Betcherlife!
The Rescue club had a big meeting
at headquarters last night and much
interest was manifested. Several spir
ited addresses were made, a prominent
feature of the evening being an ad
dress by Mrs. Inez E. Parker giving a
history ot the association from its or
ganization. There are over 1,400
members now belonging. At the
close of the proceedings the following
officers were elected: president, Rev.
Geo. Grannis; vice-president, August
Fricke; secretary and treasurer, Mrs.
Inez E. Parker; chaplain, Miss Gnssie

The business of seining for salmon
is assuming wide proportions on the
river this season. The latest iB Borne
thing new: no less than a seining
ground at the south end of Sand
Island, where is from four to five
fathoms water. Jas. Doyle had a
crew there all last week and has also
had drivers there removing snags. He
has four horses, and will soon begin
operations. Yesterday evening after
all the fishing boats had set sail for
Astoria, two nets came in where the
drivers were at work, badly tangled
up. One ot the nets had twenty-seven
salmon in it. There were no marks'
on the corks or leads of either of the
nets.
Secretary Busk created a sensation
as he was going to his office the other
morning, "says a Washington corres
pondent" by dropping in on the grounds
which surround the agricultural de
partment,, where a gang of laborers
borers were engaged m cutting the
grass with scythes, and taking a scythe
from one of the men remarked "let me
show you the right way to use this," and
proceeded to wield the implement in
a manner that showed him to be per
fectly familiar with its use. The sec
retary said he liked it because it re
minded him of home. If the secretary
will drop out this way he can make
good day wage3 cutting fine oat hay
in custom house square, and give the
grass a chance for its life.
A man who claims to have worked
on the Alaskan in San Francisco,
says: "The Alaskan went on the

her. Her bottom was of steeL It had
not been properly painted before she
was launched, and was honeycombed
with holes. Some of the' holes were
as large as a man's ear. and from one
eighth to three-quarters of an inch in
depth. We could just pick out the
rusty metal with our knives. The ex
pense on the dock was too great to
allow us to fill the holes with prepared
cement, and it would have taken a
force of 200 men to do the work prop

That soon would get washed off by the
action oi tne sand in crossing the bar.
Our Knappa correspondent tells
of five residents of a camp near there
who went out hunting one evening
last week. Their way led by a path
where Clark Loughery had set a trap
for a bear. They knew nothing of the
trap, and when a bear which had just
been caught by the leg began to
growl at their approach, two who had
guns dropped their weapons and tried
to beat the other three into camp.
One gentleman from the land of
Gladstone and Disraeli pulled of his
fine top boots and flung them away,
in his endeavor to get there first. Af
ter the first fright was over they
hunted up Clark Loughery who
humored the joke and coaxed them to
return to where the bear wa3. But
they still unaware that Bruin was
fast in a trap broke and ran again as
soon as they heard him growl. They
hadn't lost any bears and thought dis
cretion the better part of valor.
Loughery shot the brute and after
wards had it toted into camp.

news from the Alaska canneries in
dicates that they are all very busily

SOME REACHED THE SHORE.
Eleven More Men Saved From the Sea-
That" Nnmtxr Got to the Sinslaw River.
A private dispatch received last
evening conveyed to The Astorian
the glad news that eleren of those who
took to the boats when the Alaskan
split and went down in the sea last
Monday morning, have arrived safely
at the mouth of the Siuslaw river.
As soon a3 they arrived there a spe
cial messenger was sent to the nearest
telegraph station, seventy miles away,
being Eugene City.
From there came the news last
night, but no particulars as to the
names of the eleven who were saved.
TJp to this writing there were 32
who were not accounted for. Till
further particulars are obtained there
can be nothing but surmiso as to
whether only one boat reached shore,
or if these eleven are all that is left of
the 32. Probably the first theory will
be the correct one that the eleven
saved ore all from the same boat, indi
cating that the other boat is still un
heard from, and that if the boats had
anything like an equal number in
them, even some of this boat's passen
gers must have perished, as it is un
likely that one boat would have 11
and the other all the remaining 21
still unaccounted for.
From the spot where the Alaskan
went down to where the eleven landed
is 89 miles, north by east.

FIRST REGIMENT O. N. G.
To Go Into Camp at Ft. Canby Next July.
The following received by First
Liedt W. A. Sherman, Co. "H," O. N.
G., yesterday morning, is self explana explana
eory: Portland, Oreqon, May 16, 1889.
Lieut. W.A. Sherman, Astoria, Or.
Dear Sir: It is the desire of Col.
Beebe to have the 1st Regiment, 0. N.
G., go into camp at Fort Canby some
time about the middle of July, if the
necessary arrangements can be made.
Gen. Gibbon has kindly tendered
the use of Fqrt Canby and all the
other buildings and conveniences
there, and in addition will send down a
company of regulars to assist in the
work of the encampment This seems
to be an exceptional opportunity for
practising in camp life, and Col. Beebe
feels sure that even- member of the
regiment will do all that he can to
further this object.
My object in -writing to you is to
ask you to bo kind enough to ascer
tain what arrangements could be made
in Astoria for feeding the regiment for
the four or five days that the encamp
ment would hold. There will probab
ly Da .tollmen, aside from the otli
cers, and it would be necessary to se
cure some one in Astoria who would
take the feeding of the men by con
tract Whoever took the contract
would have to furnish everything in
the way of provisions and utensils, ex
cept probably the buildings at Fort
uanny. it would not, of course, be
necessary to provide sufficient crock
ery to feed all at once, but they could
be divided into three messes, which
would reduce tne expense of that
part.
Will you please make some inquiries
among the hotel and restaurant keep
ers in Astoria, nnd see what terms you
can get for this service, and let me
Know at your earnest convenience.
I am Very Respectfully Yours,
F. K. Arnold.
