A hand engine and hose carriage full of hose arrived for the Fort Canby fire department yesterday. Every body, even the government, is taking extra precaution against fire since the destructive conflagrations in Seattle, Spokane Falls, Ellensburg, etc. Times are reported brisk m Pacific City or Potter's Field, the new town near South Bend on Shoalwater bay. On one piece there were four squat ters, one chap whose house just, cor nered on the site he claimed sleep ing with his head in the corner, and his feet up the wall, so as to tech nically comply with all legal require ments. Two veterans who had crossed swords and fought on opposite sides in the war of 'G1-'G5, came down on the Telephone yesterday afternoon, having met and recognized each other on the way from Portland. Their last meeting was when one rode with Lee and faced Grant's grim ranks in the valley of Virginia. Now they meet again, to invest in Astoria real estate. Some locality easily reached should be selected for Astoria No. One's en gine house. Sooner or later tho county will notify the citv that the corner of the block on which the house has been situated, lo, these many years, is wanted, and then it must be moved, perforce. Better take time by the fetlock, and get some site where tho machine can be reached in a hurry when wanted Mr. M. C. Pennington, representing the Pullman Car Co., is in the citv. Mr. Pennington is figuring on the cost of a train of soveu vestibule cars for the Astoria and South Coast rail way Co., two sleepers, two parlor cars, one dining car and two regular pas senger coaches, to be dust proof, heated by steam, lit by electricity and provided with all the conveniences that wealth can dictate or ingenuity suggest. 'We are glad it has rained," says every exchange in tho state. The farmers are glad because the ground was hard and drv: the steamboat men are glad because the smoke is dispelled and the air made clear: the stockmen are glad because it gives stock a better chance for feed: the timber men are glad, because it puts out furious forest fires: the railroad men are glad, because it lays the dust: merchants in the towns are glad be cause it decreases the probability of loss by fire. One day last week while Lieut Os car Straub of Fort Canby was bath ing near Mclvenzie head in company with three ladies a huge breaker struck the gentleman throwing him squarely on a high rock where he laid almost dead. The ladies gave the alarm and the life boat was manned and taken outside the bar around Mc lienzie head, when Lieut Straub was taken off the rock none the worse for his narrow escape from drowning or perhaps a worse death by being crushed on the rocks. Last spring the surf beaten sentin- els on Tillamook rock secured sundry sacks of soil and Hewed it thickly on a flattened basalt crag that juts up by their sea girt dwelling. They started a garden, and now make report to Tnn Astorian. The potatoes were a partial failure; the bugs didn't bother them, but the sea air was so powerful that it in connection with the rich soil, made them run mostly to tops; tho spuds are small, and few in a hill; the turnips are fair to middling; the radishes did fine; they have rad ishes to sell, and feel encouraged. Some weeks ago a prominent real estate dealer in Los Angeles, Cal., handed a gentlemen a check for S2,- 500"in a deal. The recipient of it having some little obligations out standing as the result of too much boom quietly endorsed it and handed it to a creditor, and thus it started on its mission of charity, love and busi ness, in clue course of time it turned up in the hands of the origional draw er of it, with no less than fifteen en dorsements on the back. It had paid $37,500 in debts, made fifteen men happy and returned to its drawer. The Manzanita has not been in Gray's harbor for 13 months, though the buoys and beacons there need at tention. She is too busy carrying bricks and things for the construction department, and devoting the best of the season to cruising among the free Americans of Alaskan descent who bathe their barbarian brows in the surf that thunders the shore of far At ton, to nttend to such homely duties as the Gray's harbor buoys, the Tilla mook rock light keepers, and other necessary work here. If Uncle Sam with a $500,000,000 surplus has to have the Manzanita in the freight business, mother steamer to do the work that the Manzanita is sup posed to be doing, is in order, The reason why there are so few persons comparatively speaking in terested in the prosperity of their town is that thtre is so much differ ence in opinion as to what makes a place prosperous. One man has an idea that to lauch out in a certain brauch of business or industry would be the very thing and another would prove a failure; another man enter tains quite a different notion and that his "hobby" is the only thing to in sure success. These differences in opinion cause a stagnation of the general prosperity of a town and ''lulls things to sleep." " "When a progressive resident of Spokane Falls once under took to enhance the interests of his town he consulted such men of like opinion as himself and soon the thing was an accomplished fact and pros perity was the result. A man of en terprising spirit can do much when his hands are strengthened by men of corresponding opinion; but those who shake their head when anything does not accord with their views hinder all progress.

A BRIEF HONEY MOON. Tuesday last John Bernard pro cured a license to wed a woman keep ing a restaurant in this city and was married to her.

Later iu the day a letter came which she opened and read from Mrs. Bernard No. 1 in Seat tle and couched iu somewhat affec tionate terms. A desire for vengeance burns in the breast of the deserted bride and her friends will assist her in bringing the scoundrel to justice. hello! what's this!!

Tacoma, Aug. 29. Fire broke out about 10:15 this morning in the Den ver lodging house; the structure was originally built for a skating rink: the building was of frame, 75 by 100 feet, located ou the corner of Bailroad and 0 streets and was three stories in height. The lower story was occupied by Kuapp, Burrell & Co., and B. Lath am & Co. On the Bailroad street sideBobert Weisbach had a piano store in which he had about $20,000 worth of stock, all of which was saved except one piano. Next door was the leading dressmaking establishment of the city. The building was saved but many of the goods were ruined. The new engines had their first experience and saved the city. The water pres sure was not sufficient to put out a bad fire but the engines were able after getting up steam to give a stream suffcient to confine the fire within short limits. At present time 220 p. M., there is still fire smouldering but the danger is past One of the great difficulties of the fire was that there were four sick women in the Denver House who had to be carried put on stretch- TEL GRAPE ers.
