Regarding the Tacoma tournament
The Astoriax has a word to say,
which is that the coming contest is
going to be no picnic, and if the As
toria boys get away with it they'll
lrave to 'send one of their old time
teams. That the Astorians can win
js sure, provided they send a winning
team. It will not be won thqugh, by
experimenting with greenhorns.
"I want that road tax," said a tax
collector to a. Chinaman the other
day. 4,How much?" said John. "Five
dollars ," said the t c "All lite," said
the Mongolian, now I play tan, if I
win 1 pay, if I don't I no pay." He
played and soon came back with a
twenty. "Gimmie -leceet," said he,
"and fifteen dollah." He got his road
receipt, and his "fifteen dollah," and
went back lo the game
It is reported that a large number
of "settlers" arc being "located" in
unsurveyed laud in the southern part
of the county by a professional
"boomer" from Michigan, for a con
sideration, and that he has men en
gaged in building houses. While
this is everybody's business in general,
and nobody's business in particular,
yet it should be somebody's business
to see that this little swindle is
stopped.
One of the latest and most novel
electrical devices is an invention for
catching fish, the production of a
Chicago electrician. There is a small
apparatus attached to the hook at the
end of the fish line. From this ap
paratus one electric wire goes to the
bottom of the water, while the other
leads to the point of the hook, where
the bait is attached. As soon as the
fish, attracted by the bait, comes close
enough, he receives an electric shock,
which either kills him immediately or
else stuns him and brings him to the
surface.
The county road around Smith's
point is receiving some much needed
improvement, and is now in a better
condition than it ever was before.
The road from DeForce's oil works
has a force of men working on it mak
ing straight thai which was crooked
and making firm that which -as miry.
The road is now a good one, as far as
it extends, and about a thousand feet
of trestle thrown from a point oppo
site Cass street to the Williamsport
side would give -.itch connection as
would enable one to drive out around
Smith's point in a double seated ve
hicle and return by way of the ceme
tery, thus riding around a consider
able part of the peninsula.
The unaccountable rise in the wa
ters of Harrison lake and river, an
nounced in these columns a few days
ago,saystheNanaimo Columbian, has
brought several theories to the front,
the most probable one being that the
immense salmon nin has been
the cause of it The theory is quite
likely to be correct, fgr reports say
that Harrison river is simply a mass
of salmon moving so thickly that the
water is black with them from shore
to shore, and boats have simply to
plow a road through the fish in order
to obtain a passage. The millions
that enter the lake every day must
necessarily displace a large quantify
of water, and, consequently, cause the
lake to rise. The lake is about forty
miles long aud several miles wide
most of its length, and therefore the
number of salmon required to raise
the water three feet in four weeks
must have been something enormous.
It it generally conceded that the sal
mon theory must be correct.
Coming in on an O. R. & N. car from
eastern Oregon the other day sat a
gruff middle aged man, much resem
bling a bear. He was reading a news
paper. Behind him sat a man with a
pale face, who held in his arms a
baby. He evidently was not in the
habit of managing babies. At all
events he failed signally in this in
stance. He had a bottle of milk,
which he offered the baby when it
cried, but the baby refused it and
only cried the inore. Finally the bear
turned in hi? seat and inquired in a
loud voice if theie wa& noway to quiet
that baby. The pale faced mun said
that lie had fouud no wn. The buby
cried all the more, and the bear grew
fierce. After telling the pale fuced
man several times that the baby was a
uuisance he inquired: "Where in
thunder is that child's mother? I
wish she would come and ttike care of
it." "The mother of this baby," said
the pale faced man, "is in a colftn in
the front car." "Now, then." said a
passenger, looking at the bear, "if
you don't hush you will be pitched
out of the car." The baby cripd and
fretted all the ret of the way, but not
another word was said b the bear.

Sudden Death of J. S. Chnrch.
A telegram from Kuappa yesterday
afternoon apprised his boys in this
city, of the death of J. S. Church, at
Sveuson's landing.
They chartered the steamer Electric
and with the coroner and an Astoriax
reporter started for Svensen's landing,
reaching there at nine o'clock. A
walk of a mile and a half brought the'
party to the farm of the deceased,
where the particulars of his death were
learned.
He had been at work all the morn
ing trying to extinguish a 'forest fire
that had been threatening the neigh
borhood for some days, and which
was encrouching on his clearing.
About noon his dog came whining
home and tried to attract attention.
Going away the faithful animal re
turned and at last succeeding in get
ting attention he led the way to the
dead body of his, master who was lying
face downward his olothes parnaliyd
burned aud evidently smothered to
death, having fallen from overexertion
aud suffocating from smoke and heat.
Joseph Stewart Church was 57 years
of age, a native of Orange Co., Ver
mont, and a resident of Oregon since
1847. He leaves four children, Oscar,
Albert, Joseph and Lottie. His aged
father, eighty years old, survives him.

ON BUSINESS AND PLEASUI1E.
Visitors Here From Various Points.
We write with ple;isure the arrival
on the Columbia yesterday of the
following business gentlemen:
Mr. A. M. Cumming Representing
the cranberry industry, of Hwaco.
Mr. Cumming comes up from San
Francisco to complete arrangements
to establish, a big farm near our sea
side resort at Clatsop. From experts
it is learned that the Hwaco berries
are superior to those grown in New
Jersey, Wisconsin and the Atlantic
states. Our berries having been ship
ped to the east and pronounced A No.
1, to such an extent that they are in
demand and sold for the eastern ar
tice. As there is plenty of capital be
hind Mr. Cumming. our numerous
readers can rest assured that this in
dustry will be carried on, on a big
scale.
Mr. E. H. Foot The secretary and
treasurer ofthe Grand Rapi I- M.oii
igan) Chair company.
Mr. Foot visits us in the interest of
his big company. The Oregon fir
and Washington spruce have been
fouud to withstand all the climatic
changes, bo much so that the chairs
of the eastern states will be made
from our durable timber hereafter bv
Mr. Foot's company. Mr. Foot will
remain in our city for a week.
Mr. Elliott B. Miuor, one of the
leading grocers of San Jose, Califor
nia. Mr. Minor comes here to look at
our wonderous scenic country and to
take notes on the vast productions of
our rich soil, with the contemplation
of establishing a branch house among
Mr. M. P. Minor "Page Minor,"
known to many of our citizens as the
correspondent of the Portland News,
during the firemen's tournament here
in 1885. Mr. Minor has been in Cali
fornia for four years, and again makes
his appearance to us, as agent for
preserving the piles of harbors from
ravages of the teredo. The California
state harbor commissioners have
adopted Mr. Minor's preventative and
are now using the same at the San
Francisco sea wall.
Astoria, fortuuately has no need of
any such armor, being secure from
the attack of the teredo in the posses
sion of an iuvuluerable armor known
as fiesh water.
The Sound ports need some such
preparation to keep their wharves
from tumbling down, but Astoria ju
proud preeminence, points to perpetu
ally perpendicular piles, seourely
safe from the teredo.
Mr. C. H. McLean. The sole propri
etor of the McLean Medical company,
of St. Louis, Missouri Mr. McLean
and his charming wife ar& on a tour
of pleasure throughout the northwest,
and their visit to our city, we are
happy to say, will be wrought with
many sturdy "Pikers" comiug amongst
us, as they leave Astoria delighted
with our people, our productions, and
our fiue climate, which impressions
they will carry back to "Old Mis
souri." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

Secnrlns Timber Land.
The "rush" for timber land in west
ern Oregon and Washington, which
has been so great for the paBt year,
sepins to have culminated, though up
on "the survey of vacant townships it
jm juuuiiuit; nun inure wm do u repeti
tion of the scramble, ou a smaller
scale.
Nearly everything that might be
considered as timber laud on both
sides of the river, and back fifteen
miles, has been filed on, except here
and there a choice tract which is oc
casionally dropped on by some one,
accidentally.
It has been quite a source of reve
nue to Uncle Sam, to those who have
made it a business to locate would be
purchasera, to the steamers and rail
roads, and has made the land office
officials about as busy and hard
worked a set of men as there are it the
United States employ.
The passenger traffic on, e railroad
from Portland to Qregou City has
beqn something big. It is amusing to
note that the fare to Oregon City, from
Portland, fifteen miles, is 65 cents,
while a round trip ticket edsts 70 cents.
Men have acquired timber land from
a variety of motives; some to sell as
soon as possible, others to hold for the
inevitable appreciation of values.
The line of the Astoria and South
Coast road in couneptjon. wjtb. its
transcQntinentiaVJaaurae. lies, through
a fine body of timber in-a tier of un
surveyed townships to the south,
which timber will not probably be
without private owners as soon as
surveyed.

CRUISE OF TUE "MANZANITA."
A Journey of Over Five Thousand Miles.
The steamer Manzanita, Richard
son master, arrived in from the neigh
borhood of the north pole yesterday
afternoon, and made some remarks in
a deep bass voice, appropriate to the oc
casion. She has been away from here thirty
nine days cruising along some of the
northwestern corners of Uncle Sam's
deep water domain, her officers and
crew locating and replacing buoys,
beacons, etc., going well up towards
the Arctic circle and traversing alto
gether, about 5,000 miles.
The voyage was without incident,
the weather was just about what As
toria weather is in the winter or late
in the fall: when in Wrangle bay the
steam schooner Leo was sighted in
distress, and towed into the harbor of
Bella Bella.
Considerable work was dene: it was
no holiday trip, everv dav being one
full of duty.
In Wrangle 2"afiov, the ilL.i.1.-;..
was made that the festive teredo 1,1.1, e'a
as "well iu northern waters as on
the Sound, and elsewhere, and all
cedar buoys weie replaced with iron
ones upon which that marine worm
cannot chew. Buoys to withstand
the ice were put in; large iron ones
with live compartments.
The vessel was rlel.ivprf sir. Pnrf.
Townsend five days, for repairs, the
engineer aeeming it best to have
everything made snug before coming
around here into dep water.
Mow. it appears that the Manzan
ita takes the inspectors and the sec
retary of the light house bonrd ou
another tonr.
This district needs two steamers;
one to go to Alaska, and Tillamook
rock, and take ofticprsnrniinfl nn fours
of inspection, and. another to do work
tnat is imperative, ana that calls
loudly for attention.
The Oregon and Washington coast
is an extensive one, and wonld require
the constant presence of such a vessel
as the Manzanita tentlincr in flip
buoys, lighthouses, etc., along the
thousand miles from California to tho
straits.
