Another locomotive goes down to
Ft. Stevens to help handle the thou
sand tons of rock daily dumped in the
jetty. This makes four locomotives at
work there. The farther out the jet
ty extends, of course, the more work
is required to handle the rock. This
locomotive is borrowed from the Cas
cades. There is a new locomotive
nrr rn flip trnv from the east for the
jetty work. When it arrives the fourth
locomotive will be returned to tne
Cascades.
Tn a corner of the vard of John
Ransan's residence, near the old gas

nearlv full of water. Into this tall.
narrow barrel last night fell hi3 four
year old boy, and wouldhave drowned
but for his two year old brother, who
with a sense far beyond his years, ran
screaming to his mother. The four
year old was pulled out not a moment
too soon, a doctor summoned, and
after an hour's vigorous effort the lit
tle fellow was broucrht back to life.
The two vear old deserves credit.
THE NEW COUNTY ROAD.
From Olney to the Colnmbia County Line.
The county court yesterday
awarded the contract for buiiding the
county road from Olney to the Colum
bia county line to U. V. Uarnaiian
andR. J. Morrison, for the sum of
8,600.
The proposition is to build a load
eight feet wide to a solid base, a dis
tance of 31.9 miles, with 21 bridges,
and to finish it within eight months
from date.
The road begins at the east end of
the county bridge at Klaskauine creek,
and runs in a southeasterly direction
till it strikes the Nehalem river m T.
5-7. then runs along the north bank
ofthe Nehalem mostly, to the Colum
bia county line, in T. 6-0.
The contractors gave boiuw yester
day in the sum of 2,000, .lolui Hob
son as surety, and will begin work im
mediately.
They calculate commencing at
Olney "and will prosecute the work as
fast as possible, and expect, with lack
to get through this season.
This is the wagon road, a bill for
which, appropriating 15,000, Hon.
J. H. D. Gray got through the legis
lature last winter. 9,000 going to
Clatsop county, 4,000 to Columbia,
and 2,000 to Washington.
The road will be of great benefit to
about 500 people who are now resi
dents of that portion of the county
and will be of mutual value to As
toria, the county, and adjacent coun
ties. Columbia and Washington hava al
so started in, and it is confidently ex
pected that by January 1st one can
ride in a four wheeled vehicle from
Astoria to Washington Co.

Newspapers and Criticisms.
The Woodland Mail has decided to
charge regular advertising rates for all
Iocnl notices of shows, and pay cash for
tickets required. The conclusion is a sen
sible one. There is no reason why news
papers should be considered eleemosy
nary institutions for all the barnstorm
ers on the road. Dixon, Cal., Tribune.
That is a ridiculous proposition. If
such tactics were adopted in all
newspaper offices the career of the
dramatic critic would be closed. It is
not the duty of the critic to praise
everthing he sees; he is only expected
to tell the plain, unvarnished tenth,
giving credit only where it is due. He
is employed for the purpose of pro
tecting the people. If he is honest
he will tell them whether an enter
tainment is deserving of their dollars.
In some newspaper oftice.3, however, it
is the rule that when a show is bad
not to say anything about it merely
mentioning that a performance was
given. This is done to gratify the
greed of the business office. Then
there are papers that do even worse
than that in the way of deceiving
theater-goers they lavisb praise upon
every poor company that comes along.
xne most ranting, tiresome, scene-
chewing tradgedian is referred to as
having ''won instant recognition," and
some msipiu, wouid-oe actress is
spoken of as ''refined" and ''graceful"
and "full of dramatic fire," while in
truth she would shine more brilliantly
over a dollar-store counter, at a candy
or ice cream stand, or even over a sew
ing machine, for she has no talent and
perhaps has no idea of the object of
the drama. It is just as necessary
that the newspapers keep the people
honestly informed about theatricals as
they do about base ball games, horse
races or picnics.
It Is Certainly Needed.
We hope some day to present our
readers with an authentic map of the
harbor and surrounding country.

OVERDOING THE THING.
Falsifying The Chart at Gray's Harbor.
It is a pity to spoil sport, but iu an
effort to work off real estate and lots
in "the city of Gray's harbor," it
looks as if our neighbors to the north
are guilty of some ways that are
dark, and methods that are not in ac
cordance with the requirements of
truth.
We have before u a map of Gray's
harbor gotten up ostensibly to give
accurate representation of the har
bor and its entrance, but which is
grossly misleading.
An effort is made to make it ap
pear that the map agrees with the
correct government map, but inspec
tion of a government chart shows
wide difference.
All favorable markings are faith
fully reproduced on the bogus maps,
but where such ominous figures as
"11;" "13;" "10," (meaning depth in
feet at the entrance appear) they are
omitted on the map, which is issued by
thousands.
This may not be noticed by ignor
ant eastern investors, but we would
advise our readers avuo may contem
plate a visit to Gray's harbor to in
vest, to "look before you leap,"
We have nothing to say in dispar
agement of that country. There is
room for all, and we are pleased to see
its many advantages attracting the
attention of eastern capitalists.
Fraud, however, is being practiced
in an attempt to get people to believe
that there is 27 feet of water where
the government chart shows but 13.
It is always better to tell the trnth
about those things.
Gray's harbor is cursed at present
by the presence of a lot of irrespon
sible "boomers," professional rustlers
who work up an excitement, get peo
ple to buy "corner lots" three miles
from anywhere, and about the time
everything has got to the top notch
they clear out and leave their dupes
holding the bag.
The statements made in the pamph
lets, maps and implied Ty the pictures
are misleading and have no material
foundation, aud Chehalis county is
being injured by these windy schemes.
HAHN WAS SHANGHAIED.
And He Lived Anions the Cannibal. I
Accompanying the troupe of native
Samoans who arrived here to-day is a
man named Edward Halm, who acts
as interpreter for the natives.
Halm has a remarkable history. He
is a native of Switzerland, but left
that country in 1853 for the United
States, where he enlisted in the Union
army and fought through the war, re
tiring with a good record and a com
mission of captain.
After the war Halm came to Cali
fornia and worked for about two years
in the mines.
He then visited San Francisco, in
tending to return to his native land.
One evening, while walking along one
of the streets, the name of which he
never knew, he entered asaloou where
music and barmaids were the main
features. He wjis there drugged, aud
when he came to ho found he had
been shanghaied aboard the trading
schooner William Qijf'ord, bound for
the Marquise islands.
While at the islands he escaped to
the shore. He was captured by the
natives, who were cannibals, but man
aged to escape death by performing
acrobatic feats for their pleasure.
He remained with the islanders for
three years aud thou escaped on a
trading vessel and was taken to Tahiti.
After stayiug there for one year and a
half he went to the Samoau islands,
where he has resided for the past sev
enteen years, jcarryjug on a small trad
ing business.
During the time he won the friend
ship of the natives aud has always
lived among them.
This is the first time he has been at
San Francisco since his sudden depart
ure on the trading vessel iu the six
ties. Halm will travel with the Sa
moan troupe and again expects to visit
his birthplace. S. F. Post.
COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS.
The county court convened yester
day in adjourned session.
In the matter of couuty printing
two bids were received, one from The
AsTORiAN,the other from the Pioneer.
The bid of The Astokiax was ac
cepted. Regarding bills of justices of the
peace it was ordered that the clerk
notify justices of the peace in mak
ing out bills to include nil cases
whether fees and costs were paid or
not.
Fred F. Blum was admitted to citi
zenship. In the matter of the Westport road,
the claim of David West was filed and
the matter continued till next term.
Sundry bills were allowed.
The application of J. C. Epperly for
a liquor license for "Seaside was al
lowed.
At the afternoon session the con
tract to build the road from Olney to
the county line, was let to Messrs.
Carnahan and Morrison for 8,G00.
A Deserved Testimonial.
Saturday evening the steamer Gen.
Canbn took the passengers of the dis
abled steamer, T. J. Potter, to Ilwaco,
leaving here at 8:45. The night was
very foggy and dark and Capt. Thos.
Parker had great difficulty in reach
ing Hwaco on account of of the many
fish traps and heavy fog, but by very
careful management reached Ilwaco
at 1030 p. m. Capt J. W. Troop who
was aboard complimented Capt. Par
ker very highly on the able manner
in which he handled the boat. Refore
reaching her destination a purse was
made up, creating quite a nice little
fund, and presented to Capt. Parker
for himself and crew.

Who Killed Mrs. Tuthili?
On last Saturday night, the wife of
Mr. Tuthili, who has been sick for a
long time sent for Rev. Wra. Hunting
ton to come and perform the sacred
right of baptism, as it was considered
that the sands of life were nearly run.
The reverend gentleman attended the
call. Preparations were made, and the
suffering woman was immersed in
water that had just been taken from
the Cowlitz, and she was duly taken
into the Christian church. Since that
lime the sick woman seems to be con
siderable better, but whether the cold
watt r really done her good or the re
lief to her mind helped her tempo
rarily is impossible to state. The
lady is aillicted with consumption.
Since the above was in type we
learn that Mrs. Tuthili again toolc a
turn for the worse and died yesterday
morning. Cowlitz Ad cerah:

Out of jlhe Fire
Tormented with Salt Rheum
Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Only those who have suffered from salt
rheum in its worst form know the agonies
caused by this disease. Hood's Sarsapa
rilla has had great success in curing salt
rheum, and all affections of the blood.
" I owe the gratitude to Ilood's Sarsapa
rilla that one would to his rescuer from a
Burning Building S S
with Bait rheum, and had to leave off work
altogether. My face, about the eyes, would
lR swollen and scabbed, jny hands and a
part of my body would be raw sores for
weeks at a time, my flesh would seem so
rotted that I could roll pieces from between
my fingers as large as a pea. One
physician called it type D0jeon
and gave me medicine accord- ru,oun
ingly; hut salt rheum cannot be cured in
that way. Finally I bought a bottle of
Hood's Sarsaparilla. It helped me so much
that I took two more bottles, and was
Entirely Cured LftroubS
with salt rheum since. I also used Ilood's
Olive Ointment on the places affected. It
stops the burning and itching sensation im
mediately. I will recommend nood's Sar
saparilla not only for salt rheum, but for
anS Loss of Appetite
