The Astoeian of poor mail communi
cation with Alaska. The mail service
between Astoria and Alaska badly

vexatious expense.
Yesterday morning while the
steamer Gen. Canby was tied up at
the dock at Fort Canby, Aleck Mc
Lean a member of the life saving
crew while going on board fell over
board. A rope was thrown to him

rade and treacherously murdered his

his life. Then lie robbed the dead
body and escaped, and is still at large.
Yesterday morning about seven
o'clock a fishing boat was seen drift
ing bottom side up, by the employes
of the Jetty at Fort Stevens. As noth
ing was seen of any men, no attempt
was made to save the boat. Later:
The boat is believed to have belonged
to the Occident cannery; the net was
floating in a tangle all around the
boat, and it is believed that both occu
pants of the boat have been drowned,
as they are missing.
Sandy Olds, the convicted murderer
of Ecail Webber, tells an Oregonian
reporter that the encounter was
simply a question of who could draw
his gun the quickest: that they were
both heeled, and that his (Olds) pistol
being the smallest he got it out first,
and that had Webber been able to get
the drop on him. the trial would have
been for Webber's killing him- instead
of he killing Webber. Like eneugh:
there's a good deal in the draw.
Two petitions are being circulated,
one from property owners in Olney's
Astoria, and the other from property
owners in Shively's Astoria, asking the
city council to give notice and im
prove streets running north and south
from Court street to the south line of
the city, and also to improve West
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets from
Arch street to the southern limits of
the city bv cutting down all the tim
ber, clearing and burning all brush
out of said streets. The object being
that persons owning property thereon
can more readily find it for the pur
pose of disposing of it, or acquiring
more adjacent thereto.
A NEW HOSPITAL TO BE BUILT.
Mother Godfrey, superior general
from Monteal, Canada, who w making
a tour of the Pacific states and terri
tories, visiting all the hospitals under
her jurisdiction on this coast, is at
present stopping in Astoria for a few
days. She expresses herself much
pleased with Astoria ami predicts a
bright future for our city by the sea.
She is also much pleased with tho
work St. Mary's hospital is doing and
sees the need of more room and ac
commodations. This she informs ua
will be attended to as soon as the nec
essary arrangements can be made. The
location for the new hospital has been
selected and is now being graded.
When the grading is completed no
finer location for a hospital can be
found on this or any other coast. It
is high, dry and sightly, not loo far
from business centers to be inconven
ient, but far enough to be quiet and
pleasant
Just when they will begin the con
struction of the building can not be
ascertained at present, but we have
the assurance that it will be soon. The
kind of building they intend putting
up will be a credit to any town and
will be supplied with all modern im
provements and accommodations and
will lack nothing that goes to make a
perfect hospital. The building will
cost between fifty and seventy-five
thousand dollars, will be heated with
steam and supplied with elevator,
reading room, smoking room, etc.

The probable receipts were esti
mated at $G00 from the county, and
S2,UUU from the state, which added to
the $2,070.88, made $5,270.88 to be de
ducted from the $10,330, leaving $5,

A letter x was received by W. F,

Disastrous to the Traps.
This has been a hard season on the
fishing traps in Baker's bay and else
where on the lower river, but espe
cially in the first named locality, they
being swept out to sea with disastrous
frequency. Half a dozen more went
last week, and over fifty have gone
since the first of May.
One owner who lost two last Friday,
was interviewed yesterday and lie
gave it as his opinion that their de
struction is caused by the unusual
saltness of the water, the absence of
the currents of former years and the
high winds.
He says that a green fungus or slimy
marine growth forms around the
meshes of the nets and grows thicker
and thicker. Then comes a high wind
and the almost solid mass formiii
considerable resistance, something has
to give way, and tip come the piles
and over goes the whole business bot
tom up. Then a high wind comes
sweeping westward, and away goes
the trap to sea.
Many trap owners are so discour
aged that they have given up any
effort, to do anything further this
year.
Custom Ilnnso anil Court House,
The custom house is not in a very
good condition at present, the roof
leaks and the whole building needs
alterations. The structure looks
squat, and should have another story
on it.
About the best thing, under the cir
cumstance, would be to have the
building condemned and a new custom
house built; the present building
might be sold to advantage to the
county; it would make a good court
house with some alterations and im
provements, and is in a central posi
tion. Uncle Sam could with great propri
ety give Astoria a new custom house,
eligibly situated. We will have to
have one pretty soon, and in the
meantime the present building is
badly in need of repair.
ROFULA
Is that impurity of the blood which pro
duces unsightly lumps or swellings on the
g.ands of the neck; causes painful running
Lures on the arms, legs, or feet; developes
ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often caus
ing blindness or deafness; is the origin of
pimples, cancerous growths, or the many
other manifestations usually ascribed to
'humors;" and fastening upon the lungs,
causes consumption, ami death. Being
the most ancient, it is the most general of
:.ll diseases or affections, for very few
persons are entirely free from it.

P.y taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines hae failed,
lias proven itself to be a potent and pecul
iar medicine for this disease. Some of
these cures are really wonderful. If you
ruffer from scrofula or impure blood, bq
sine to try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
" Every spring my wife and children Jin vo
been troubled with scrofula, sores break
..ig out on them in various places. My
little boy, thiee years old, has been a
tcvrible sufferer. Last spring he was one
mass of sores from head to feet. I was
advised to use Hood's Sarsaparilla, and we
have all taken it. The result is that all have
been cured of the scrofula, my little boy
being citiiely free from sores, and all four
of my children look bright and healthy."
