of the sea, and nearly chilled to the

The following gentlemen passed
through here yesterday on their way
to attend the grand council of the
Young Men's institute which meets in
San Francisco on the 27th: J. F.
Keeley and F. J. Eichter of Cincin
nati, Chio, M. H. Conner of St. Paul,

Donohue and Win. Guedelhoeper of
Butte, Montanna, D. J. Kelly of Port

wheels on the Columbia is at the cas
cades in the Columbia about half way

cades. There is a pit just at the

the fish when they are dumped out of
the wheel. The pit is about twelve
feet square by twenty deep, and L. W.

nel, tnat lie has seen that pit halt full
of writhing, squirming salmon. Sev
eral tons are frequently caught there
in one day.
The solution used in the hand gren
ades offered so extensively for sale is
easily and cheaply made by taking
twenty pounds of common salt, ten
pounds of sal-ammoniac (muriate of
ammonia, to be had of any druggist),
and dissolving in seven gallons or wa
ter. When it is dissolved, it can be
bottled and kept in each room in the
house. In case of fire, oue or two
bottles should be thrown with force
into the burning blaze, hard enough
to break them, and the fire will cer
lainly be extinguished.
A Mr. Apple was recently made jus
tice of the peace at Baker City. Find
ing both appellants and appellees very
scarce, judge Apple opened a butcher
shop and the scales, but seldom used
used in weighing equity, were often
filled with choice hits sliced fiotn the
apellous carcassed obtained from one,
Mr. Cavinesa, of Hilgard. On a day
when the tfUblj diawer contained some
thing over 81,000. judge Apple run
eluded t!ir time was ripe for him to
drop on :i little r.;cket often practiced
by bank cashiers, and so he is now in
Canada, where, if he is not eaten up
by remorse, he will likely remuin until
he has grown mellow with age.
The Union Pacific railroad com
pany has formally accepted the pro
position extended to it by the people
of Port Townsend. Briefly stated,
the terms of the proposition are to
the effect that Port Townsend pays
the company $100,000 in cash, makes
over to it titles of the right of way,
so far secured, besides good and suf
ficient titles of all the land which have
been subscribed by the people. On
the other hand, the railroad covenants
to make Port Townsend the northern
terminus of their line and within a
stipulated time to build and have in
operation 20 miles of the road from
Port Townsend towards Portland.
Yesterday a party of adventurous
boys walked out along the Ft. Stevens
railroad track beyond the line of
sandy beach, and past where the
waves were roaring at the bottom of
the piles. Wrhen well out to the end
of the track they saw an engine ap
proaching with a train of cars. To go
back or jump off was impossible, so
they nimbly swung themselves down
on the stringers, letting the engine
and train go thundering over their
heads while below roared the foam
ing water. It was a case of being "be
tween the devil and the deep sea,"
but the good angel that watches over
boys saved them, and pale and tremb
ling they made their way back in safety.
Your Jocal paper tells you when to
go to church, tp qpuijty, circuit and
probate court, and when to send your
children to school and nearly any
where else you have to go. It tells
you who is dead, married, sick, born
and many other things you like to
bean It calls your attention to all
public enterprises, advocates good
schools, law, temperance qnd order in
your town and county. It rejoices
with you in prosperity and sympa
thizes with you in distress. It records
the marriage of your daughter, the
death of your son, the illness of your
wife, free of charge. It booms your
town and builds up your business,
whether you patronize it or not It
sets forth the attractions and advan
tages of your city and invjtea immi
gration and is always flrst to welcome
newcomers. Time would fail to en
umerate half it does for ita own peo
ple, and yet we sometimes hear a man
say his home paperis npj; half so good
as some city paper that never did any
thing for him and has no interest in
him or his business.
Gus. H. Bynon will soon begin the
publication of -a newspaper at Ver
nouia, on the Nehalem. The starting
of a newspaper in such a nlacoisa
good illustration of how the law of
supply and demand works, and how
cause and effect are related. There
is really not half the inducements to
start a newspaper there that there
would be at Saddle Mountain, or
Mishawaka, but there are a good
rr-any timber laud claims being filed
on in that vicinity, and the paper
published there may get them. At
present these notices appear in the
Mist, at St Helens. Mr. Bynon is
evidently going to get acquainted.
He carries a gun something no news
paper man does and pulled it on a
neighbor's .dog that barked at his
passing dog the other day; and shot
and killed the dog. If that be any
criterion of his disposition we may
have some lively items from the Ne
halem, because a man n or out of a
newspaper office who is on tb:e shoot
can generally be accommodated.
A KAlLROAf) TO ASTORIA.
Ohas. Prancis Adams, "W. H. Holcomb
and 0. J. Smith,
Say That It Will Soon Be Commenced.
Messrs. Adam3, Holcomb and party
arrived down on the Reed yesterday
morning and immediately transferred
to the Geo. H. Mendell going "down to
see the Ft. Stevens jetty. They re
turned to the Reed and left 'for Port
land at 11:10. All the party expressed
themselves as greatly pleased, Mr.
Adams being particularly compli
mentary. Among others beside Messrs. Ad
ams and Holcomb were C. J. Smith,
general manager O. R. & N.--Co., C. A.
Dolph, D. P. Thompson, Henry Fail
ing, H. W. Corbett, and other prom
inent residents of Portland. They
were accompanied on their 'return by
Dr. Aug. C. Kinney, as far as Cath
lamet Mr. Adams, Mr. Holcomb, and Mr.
Smith concurred . in the statement
that they were taking all the prelimi
nary steps necessary for the building
of a" railroad to Astoria as soon as
possible.
Just when they proiKi.sed building
the road, just where the route would
be, and just who the three gentlemen
meant when they said "we," cannot
with precision be defined, but the
substance of their statements was to
that effect- -viz: that the preliminary
work of building a railroad to Astoria
is now under wayj that they iecog
nized the necessities of the situation,
and the advantages of this place, and
that so soon as certain negotiations
with eastern finauoiers were completed,
which they say will lie soon, the act
ual work of building the road will bo
begun.
While The AsToniAN is pleased to
hear these gentleman say so much,
and glad to chronicle their utterances,
it doesn't forget former visits and
statements, and suggests that we con
tinue to work out our own salvation,
by bending our united and concen
trated energies to the railroad we
have ourselves started, and see that
that goes ahead to speedy and pros
perous completion.
The gentlemen were very muoh
pleased at the progress of the jetty
work; were profuse in their praise for
the energetic work done there, agreed
upon the beneficial result, and the
advantages of Astoria as a wheat
shipping point, and regretted that
extreme haste rendered it impossible
for them to remain longer.
D. P. Thompson, the next governor
at Qregpn, thought Astoria ought to
be advertised mqre. Whan informed
that The Astorian was now prepar
ing an illustrated edition of 50,000.
copies on fine book paper, he smiled
and said "That's right. I'll take 500
copies. As owner of the Columbia
water works it is his interest to have
Astoria water consumers increase.
All the visitors expressed pleasure
at their trip, and the beautiful weather
they so much enjoyed.

OYSTER CUIiTlTRE.
Experiments Made by a State BioloeNt.
Professor Julius Nelson, the biolo
gist of the New Jersey state experi
mental station, is an enthusiast on
oyster culture. He is now conducting
a series of investigations in reference
to breeding oysters which is likely to
prove of great value to oystermeu.
It is well known that only a very small
proportion of the spawn of an "oyster
lives. Not only are the young oysters,
destroyed bv their enemies. Imf. sWm..

nearly every egg. It is in contemnla

professor is confident that the lesult

the breed of hogs or oows.
