ASTORIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY
JULY 23, 18S9.
The Alta correctly maintains that
politics is.
It is announced that, after all, Bay
nrl is not croiner to be married. The
ex-secretary never was much at di
plomacy. . 0 m B
Over at Seattle when the enterpris
ing burglar's not a burgling he loves
to he a bawsking in the sun, and the
Seattle cops are running him in num
erously. Colorado is going to establish a
home for indigent printers. Good!
Keep one ward for the indigent and
oft indignant print who monkeys and
makes sense with and of the idiotorial
copee.
Since October, 1888 there has been
an increase of three feet in the depth
of water on the bar. So says the
official government chart, corrected to
June 26th, 1889. The jetty is already
doing its work.
The "one hundred beautiful young
ladies" who appear in the "Twelve
Temptations," at Portland, receive
salaries of 5 each per week. And
yet people prate about the immorality
of the stage. Low wages are the par
ents of much immorality among all
classes.
TnE Philadelphia North American
advises all people to look before they
drink. It is a very good suggestion.
Had it been heeded, so many of Phila
delphia's prominent citizens would
not be going around now with eroded
throats, the result of mistaking the
ammonia bottle for their morning
medicine!
The efficacy of whiskey for snake
bites received its vindication the other
day in Mohawk valley, Nevada. The
child of senator Enimitt was bitten
three times in the face by a snake,
whereupon a timely ministration of
whiskey, which is always handy in
Nevada, saved the child's life. What
would have become of that infant in a
prophiition state?
Astoria wants no silly "boom" such
as has proved a boomerang to so
many aspiring towns. She needs no
such transitory device. But she does
want the development of considerable
energy. Faith without works is dead
Knowing we have superior location
and the natural resources is secondary
only to demonstrating the fact. A
little energetic showing is in order.
Denomikatioxaii journalism on the
Pacific coast does not appear to be au
unqualified success. The latest issue
of the California Christian Advocate
prints the plaintive plea:
Between May 1st and August is the
time of great scarcity of money in this
office. Our accounts for the Advocate
are all out. We hare used np all our re
serves. Things look blue. We need
money every day. Our workmen must be
Said. We do not buy paper on credit.
ur friends could greatly relieve the sit
uation by paying np now every dollar
they can.
A year or so ago Kansas City Mis
souri, was the liveliest city in the
United States. It had a great boom
and thousands of people settled there.
Heal estate sold for gilt edged prices
Splendid business blocks sprung up
as if by magic. People were wild
then. To-day they are long faced and
sad. The town is as "dead as a door
nail." The boom has collapsed and
all the rustling real estate agents
have moved to other towns. While
going about the city a visitor notices
many low lots and many amusing
siems nailed over them. One of them
reads:
DROP A LOAD OF EARTH IN UERE
AND SEE THE LOT FILL UP.
Chris. Buckley, the Democratic
boss of San Francisco, is in New York
and is living in great style at one of
the fashionable hotels at the expense
of $250 a day. Mr. Buckley was
once a sort of general roustabout in a
San Francisco saloon. What an in
spiration is his career to the young
men of the country! By getting a
saloon of his own, by securing the
control of the offices of a large city,
by making every clerk in such offices
divide his salary, by levying $200 up
on every teacher as the price of her
employment in the public schools, by
controlling a legislature and selling
it out to men who want bills passed
or defeated, almost any young man
will rise to fame as Buckley has, can
afford to make tours to Europe, live
at the Hoffman House in New York
at an expense of $250 a day, and in
many other ways get a great deal out
of life.

A Silly Quarrel About Some Grease,
Leads to a Probable Fatal Assault.
Portland. July 22. Two Alaska
Indians came down on the steamer
Idaho and got on a big spree here
yesterday.
At Albina. Gus Peterson. Charles
Dams and "William Morcran were
arrested to-day by denutv United
States marshals Myers and Koberts
tor selling the Indians liquor.
C. A. Gove administrater of the
Jas. Stephens estate began suit for
$113,000 to-day against Henry Jones
formerly Mr. Stephens confidential
agent
Alili ABOUT TWO BARRELS OF GREASE.
Last Saturday Jho. Quinlan, cook
on board the British ship Scottish
Glens assaulted and almost fatally in
jured the master of the vessel, CapL
Wm. Whiteford. The details of the
affair are as follews: When the ves
sel left Liverpool, Quinlan was en
gaged to come to this port as cook,
he was as is usual in shipping circles
to have all the grease which was fried
out of the meats for his own. When
the vessel got to Portland he had
saved up two barrels of material. Last
Saturday he effected a sale of them to
a local tradesman. AVhen the deal
er went down to the ship after his
newly purchased goods he found one
barrel out on the deck and the other
was beiner rolled off the vessel. The
captain came out of the cabin just at
that juncture, and ordered the men
to desist from rolling the kegs ont.
When Quinlan said he owned them
and would roll them out it he a -a
pleased. Captain Whiteford, who is
a very old man, then approached
Quinlan, who became so thoroughly
enraged that he struck the master a
terrible blow just below the heart fell
ing him as he would a butchered ox.
The captain lay in an unconscious state
for some time. Dr. C. W. Wheeler
found him to be in a critical condition.
Quinlan was at once arrested, but will
have no examination till it is known
whether or not captain Whiteford is
danererously hurt
The injured man, besides being old
has, for years suffered from heart dis
ease, which fact it is said, his assail
ant well knew, and struck him theft
on account of that weakness.
Quinlan did not take away the bar
rels of grease.
JUDGE COOLEY'S TRAVELS.
Washington, July 22. Judge
Cooley, chairman of the interstate
commission, is on his way to the Pa
cific coast on business connected with

MONET FOR THE CREEK INDIAN'S.
Washington, July 22. Treasurer
Moore, speaker of the house Mcintosh
and chief (Jushman of the Creek In
dian nation have had a long confer
ence with secretary Noble. Their
mission is to secure $400,000 from
their fund in the treasury for per
capita distribution among their 14,
000 members. They claim they need
it badly. This fund now amounts to
over $3,000,000, exclusive of what
they will receive under the Oklahoma
appropriation. Noble has taken the
subject under consideration, and if
the law permits him to order this pay
ment he will probably do so.
COMPDAINT OF CANADIAN MILLERS.
Toronto, July 22. Canada will not
alter her flour duties till the next ses
sion of parliament early next year.
Canadian millers complain of a dis
crimination in favor of the United
States, whose millers export flour to

who import wheat from the states.

THE M'DERMOTT RESERVATION.
Washington, July 22. Secretary
Proctor having recommended that the
reservation at Fort McDermott, Nev.,

ing no longer required for military

fect secretary Proctor's recommenda
tion. ' THE ENCAMPMENT AT MILWAUKEE.
Kansas Citt, July 22. Major War
ner, commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has issued a
general order in which he urges all
Grand Army of the Bepublic posts in

tions as possible to the National En

The Verdict Unanimous.
W.D. Suit, Druggist. Bippus, Ind.,
testifies: "I can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles, and was cured
of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing."
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi
cine I have ever handled in my 20 years'
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou
sands of others have added their tcsti
monv, so that the verdict is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of
the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a
half dollar a bottle at J. W. Conn's Drug
Store.

Rearing the Alaska Pack.
Much interest is now centered in
the Alaska pack, and both canners and
buyers are waiting next advices from
that district. A letter received by a
prominent house in the salmon trade
in this city came to hand yesterday,
which is important as an indication of
what is being done in Alaska. The
letter bore date of June 24th, and
came from Kayak Island, opposite the
mouth of Copper river and near Prince
William sound. It was earned to Ju
neau bv a small schooner engaged in
Indian trading near Copper river. At
and near this point there are located
four canneries, viz:
Peninsular Packing and Trading
company.
Central Alaska Packing company.
Pacific Packing company.
Pacific Whaling and Fishing Com
pany.
Prom the first two canneries men
tioned shipments of salmon have been
expected daily. The letter referred
to says the vessel will not get away
before July 25th, and possibly not
then. In place of a 10,000 case pack
for the Peninsula Packing Co., and of
7,500 for the Central Alaska Co., up
to July 1st, there had been put up to
June 24th 1,500 cases and 700 cases
respectively. This is the most dis
couraging information that has come
from the northern fisheries this sea
son. & F. Grocer and Country JJer

The Albany and Astoria Railroad.
The surveyors of the Albany and
Astoria railroad have now reached a
point six miles north of this city.
There are fourteen men in the party,
under surveyor "W. B. Barr. They
have heretofore made this city their
headquarters, but they have now sup
plied themselves with tents and equip
page and will camp along the route.
This company means business and
will expend several thousand dollars
in surveying the route this summer.
"Albany to Astoria" is their motto,
and when to the $1,000,000 capital
stock of the company is added the
backing of which they have assurance,
the project will prove to be no idle
undertaking. Herald.
