When it is 12 noon, meridian time at Astona, it is 12 hr., 15 m., and 20 sec., p. if., standard time. The Knappton mill is running on half time at present. The lumber trade is a little slack. Buying real estate is not like jaw bone peker: you've got to make the blind good, or stay out Seaside travel may be said to have begun: there are several down at the seashore and a host going. The steamer Clara Parker was in spected by Messrs. Edwards and Mc Dermott, at Portland yesterday. There's a heap of human nature in some ioiks duc tnen it isn't your fault You didn't invent human" na ture. Seattle's safes were not fire proof, but Seattle's pluck is, and she is rising in solid structures from the yet warm ashes. Elmore & Sanborn have a 825,000 check for the amount of their insur ance on some salmon burned at Se attle two weeks ago. The highest salary paid the cap tains of the big ocean steamship lines is 82,500 per year. The masters of tramp steamers get about 8800. Wells and springs are reported go ing dry in several places on the hill side, partially caused, no doubt, by the extensive cutting away and grad ing.

She goes around there at the first favorable op portunity. The Qen. Canby yesterday brought a young inau over from Oysterville suffering severely with erysipelas in his right hand, caused by n cut from an oyster shell. Yesterday afternoon a workman employed as planer at Trullinger's mill had three of the fingers of one hand badly crushed, necessitating the attendance of a surgeon. The Weekly Astorian to be is sued to-morrow, will be the largest issue of that paper ever published. It has all the news, twelve pages, and is a good copy to send away. It is reported that a band is regu larly organized to rob the Safe Deposit building at Seattle, which contains over a million dollars in valuables and was partly destroyed by fire. To-day Capt J. G- Hustler, Dr. W. D. Baker and Senator Jno. H. Mitchell celebrate their birth days. Capt Hustler is G4 years of age to-day, Dr. Baker is believed to be 30 years younger. The four masted British ship Van thtara finished loading yesterday. It is though that the Borrowdale will finish with salmon, and that the Wanlock may also take a salmon car go, foreign. Forest fires are prevailing on the east side of the Cascade range. The roar of the blaze can be heard for miles, and lumbermen say that mill ions of feet have been destroyed. A strong wind is prevailing and the nre extending. The Albany Herald gravely states that all firemen in Albany having shirts are requested to report the same to the foreman of their respect ive companies. This doth impose a responsibility of which; the shirtless man fa bappily devoid. The Occidental & Oriental Trans fer company, (Limited) was organized jStSSSr It will carry passengers i'. and freight as far as the chasm in the roadway toward Uniontown, receive and receipt for them on the the other side, and deliver them to their desti nation. Superintendent Porter, of the cen sus bureau, has completed the dis tricting of the various states and ter ritories for census purposes. Oregon is dividal into two districts at the crest or the cascade mountains. Wash ington territory is divided the same way. Col. L. F. Copeland, whom many remember as having lectured here one year ago, will lecture at Rescue Hall, to-morrow evening, on "What's to Hinder?" and will doubtless have a very large audience, as he is an elo quent lecturer. Admission 50 cents, children 25 cents; tickets for sale at Griffin & Reed's. The following from yesterday's Ur egonian needs explanatien: FIXED FOB VIOLATIXa THE SUNDAY LAW. lesterday morning justice Tut tle held J. S. Woods, the hat ter, guilty of violating the Sun day law, by selling goods on the seventh day. and fined him S3 and I costs, aggregating 17.50: A circus is now traveling through the northwest It has a big elephant, and a Salem firm has contracted for a big advertisement on both sides of the big elephant, wherever it shows, so that people who go to see the ele phant will see the adt too. This is almost as good as putting the adv't in a newspaper, but not quite. Senator Mitchell will be in Portland by the Fourth of July. The Telegram says that for a month or so he will probably devote his time investigat ing as to who the most potent men are to aid him in securing the next legislature for re-election, and then the dry bones in the most prominent reaerai offices will begin to rattle. At a Aew York conference last Wednesday between representatives ofthoO. B. &N. and Union Pacific companies in regard to the future management, an agreement was made with VHIard by winch about 00,000 shares of O. R. & N. stock will pass into tho hands of half a dozen people who are now identified with the Union Pacific aud Manitoba companies. It is now definitely known that the Chicago & Northwestern railroad has advanced 85,000,000 for the construc tion of the Oregon Pacific eastward from Albany to connect with the for mer road at Boise City, says the Ash land Record. Active work is to begin within a few days, and the road will be completed to an eastern connection as soon as money and men can ac complish that end. A gentleman from Portland informs the Helena Journal tha t the cedar shingles of Washington territory have "taken the country" in Missouri, Illi nois, Ohio and Indiana. He cannot fill the orders fast enough. Oregon fir lumber he has sold in Chicago at a fair rate of profit notwithstanding the great competition of the Canadian sawmills. The market for our lumber in tho eastern states is capable of great expansion. From M. Michaelsou. working fnr the Astoria Packing Co.. is heard a report that two fishermen worn downed by the capsizing of their boat near buoy No. 5, off Tanzy Point at half past three yesterday afternoon. No particulars could be "obtained re garding the names of the men nor what cannery they worked for. If the report U true, these are the first two men to be drowned while fishing in the Columbia this year. Early jesterday morning some per sons entered the drug store of J. W. Conn by cutting a hole through the jloor of the back room and succeeded in gaining an entrance to the store from which they stole the cash regis ter containing 82.80. The register, broken in pieces, was picked up on the beaclrat upper Astoria. Mr. Conn has missed nothing else, so tho rob bers whoever they are, risked consid erable, for the 82.80 that was in the register. How's this for a yarn: Peter Trex ler, of Catawissa Valley, O., noticed a peculiar tasfe in his tea, and Mrs. Trexler on lifting the kettle lid found within a beautiful trout boiled to deatlu Mr. Trexler had kept it for years in the spring to purify the water. Usually his wife got water from the spring in a bucket, but ling hurried this time she lowered the tea kettle, clapped the lid on without looking in and set it boiling merrily on the wood fire, and the trout was in the pot The tug Sea Lion arrived from ictoria yesterday with the British bark Wanlock. At the Columbia river bar she dropped the American bark Enoch Talbott, having towed her also from Victoria, making the run from the Royal Roads in forty eight hours.

What Some People Say and Others Think In the article on tho railroad situa tion published in yesterday's paper prominent mention was made ol a prominent contract which was a prom inent topic on tho street The con tract was to have been signed yester day, but some preliminaries and con cessions, some compromises and details had not been fully settled, so that tho contract yet remains unsigned. This contract is about as important a matter to Astoria, Astorians, Clat sop county and northwestern Oregon as anything that has transpired for the last ten years, and it is for that reason that The Astoriak ha3 so much to say about it It is of so much importance that it justifies discussion of it Everything in the world thatja good many of us have, the writer included, is in Astoria, or close bv. and this railroad matter is as intimately con nected with our prosperity as any thing we know of. Another thing has beentalked about a good deal on the etreet during the past week, and it is this: when CoL Taylor made that conditional proposi tion five weeks ago, about the 8,000 feet water frontage, contingent upon another, additional 8100,000 being raised, that amount was pledged on sundry subscription lists, circulated by C. W.Fulton, Dr. Alf. Kinney, B. Van Dusen and one or two more, but many (including some of the largest signers) of those who signed, now hold that that doesn't constitute a subscription till they signed on the regular stock nooKs or. the company, and decline to so sign till they see "developments." So far, thi3 contract comprises all me "ueveiopments;" so that anyone of those who signed for any part of mat iuu,uuu (ana on that the whole tiling rests) who ask for "develop ments" simply ask for a knowledge of iiiai contract. They claim that it is their right or privilege to "know what is going on," and they claim that they don't ask out of curiosity, but because they are interested, and want to know what disposition is to bo made of their money. The Astoriax modestly expresses it as its opinion that it would have been better to have secured the 8100,000 on the stock books of the company be fore all this talk and outside negotia tion began, but now that things are as they are, perhaps it would be well to have a general knowledge of the provisions of this contract, which though as yet unsigned, is renorted tn be the basis of arrangement between the Astoria and South Coast Railway Co. and the parties of the second part Nothing less or else will satisfy some who have not yet signed on the stock books the amount they signed on the subscription paper, but whose signa tures seem necessary to the success of the scheme. In tho discussion of this matter which so ultimately concerns our mu tual prosperity The Astorian has no desire to be inquisitive or interfering, but as a public journal discusses live topics of the hour and voices what is in the minds and on tho tongues of men. PERSONAL MENTION. E. C. Eversham, of Hoquiam, W.T., was m the city yesterday. Mrs. Owens, mother of Mrs. Dr. Owens-Adair, is in the city. Mrs. Aug. Danielson and daughter are visiting friends in Deep River. Col. James Taylor, John Hobson, John Matier, and L. C. Kinney, re turned from Portland yesterday where they had been in attendance at the pioneer reunion. A Center Shot. Strangers, as a general thing, seek the newspaper office of a city for in formation. Many times we have been asked a by new-comer: "How many businessmen are there in Albinar" We invariably reply by referring them to tho columns of the Courier. Bus iness men who have not enterprise and public spirit enough to advertise in their local paper are hardly worthy of mention, consequently they are passed by in the general enumera tion of men who by their energy and business tact assist in building up a city and advancing its interests.

The following circular letter, which is of great importance to timber land claimants, addressed to the register ana receiver, was received at the local land otlico yesterday merning: Depabtment or the Ikteeioe, 1 General Land Office, WAsmsaTON, D. C, Jane 8. J Register and Receiver, Seattle, W. T. : Gentlemen: I wonld call your at tention to paragraph 10 ot the timber ana stone circular dated May 21, 1887, which provides that "the published notice required by tho third section of the act must state the time and place when, and name the officer before whom the party intends to offer proof, which must be after the expiration of the sixty days of publication, and before ninety days from the date of the published notice. Where proof is not made before the expiration of said ninety days the register and receiver will cancel the filing upon their records and notify this office accordingly, as prescribed by instructions of circular of May 1, 1888,rCopp's Land Owner. VdL 7. p. 52J. You will observe that no no tice of final proof can be published more than ninety days before the tak ing of the final proof. In all cases where final proof notice is now being published, and the day set for taking the proof is more than ninety days after the date of publication, you will discontinue such publications, and when the final proof is taken it must be preceded by notice only published in accordance with said narairranh 10. All notices prematurely published mil be totally disregarded and whenever proof is taken in such cases you must pro ceed in the same manner as you would in cases where no publication had been made, under the timber and stone circular. In cases where your predecessor the register,! has authorized the pre mature publication of notice, the party claimants, if innocent of any collusion with liim, may resort to the local courts for redress for whatever damage may accrue to them by rea son of the extra expense of publica tion, as against said register. Of this however, they should seek advice ot local counsel. Respectfully, W. M. Stoxe. Acting Commissioner. Po,t- Intelligencer, 19. Was Here Forty-Five Years Ago. "Let me introduce to you a former resident," said Jas. W. Welch yester day momingas he entered The Asto rian office with a very large specimen of manhood, whom he introduced as David Crawford, of Altoona, Penn. Mr. Crawford may be reckoned as one of the old timers. He was here in 1844, built a house with Smith on Smith's Point, lived on Clatsop plains. and in 1846 went over the river and ' lived on the head waters of the Clie halis. "But it was too lonesome there," said he, audi went back up to the Willamette valley." He is a veteran of the war of '47-M8, was in California, in "the days of old, the days of gold, the days of '49," and for ten years after dwelt in Oregon. In 1859 he sold his farm and for tho last 30 years has been living in Penn sylvania. He views Astoria and vicinity with considerable interest He goes to-day to Clatsop to see Mr. Morrison, Mr. Eberman and other old acquaintances in that section. Same Way in Astoria, Ton.
