Owing to the putting in of a new

however, that the street lights will

Yesterday morning Mrs. Alick
Hansen of this city met witli. a very
bad accident at Clatsop while visiting
at the residence of old gentleman
Spelmier and wife, she was walking
out of the back door of the house
holding n baby in her anus when she
fell breaking her left leg. The injured
lady was brought to town and medi
cal attendance procured when she was
left asscomfortable as possible.
Timber claims are still being taken
and the list is not exhausted yet
Despite all temptations to belong to
other nations, the yellow fir, the hem
lock and the spruce of Clatsop county
is in the greatest demand. The hem
lock is mentioned in the list, for,
though it may be sneezed at now, the
time will come when hemlock will be
sought for. The floors in the court
house, laid 30 years ago, are of hem
lock, aud are good yet.
There was a genuine surprise party
at the hospitable residence of Mrs. A.
Yan Duseu yesterday, the occasion
being that lady's birthday, a large
number of her friends making an un
announced descent. Though wholly
unprepared she accorded them a gra
cious wolcome, and a very pleasant
afternoon and evening was spent by
the guests who were unanimous in
wishing her "many happy returns of
the day."
Now and then appears in some
newspaper a little ''dig" at the gram
mar or spelling of some contemporary;
and. usually the censured one gets
back by showing as bad mistakes on
the parof the censurer. The fact is
that it is a wonder more and greater
mistakes are not made. Ihe contents
of a daily newspaper, morning or even
ing, are prepared very hurriedly, and
the supposition is that everybody does
the best he can. Some of the mistakes
published are comical, but are usually
the fault of the proof reader.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CONFERENCE.
Some Matters of Commercial Importance.
Hon. J. H. D. Gray returned from
San Francisco yesterday morning,
where he had been attending the com
mercial conference held in that city
during the past week.
There was some little misunder
standing at first as to the status of
outside chambers of commerce, but
after some energetic remarks from
Astoria and Tacoma, onr San Fran
cisco brethren realized that the Pa
cific coast of the United States was
not bounded on the north by the Cal
ifornia line, and after that things had
a wider scope.
Astoria had a good, representation,
and was given prominence in com
mittee work, and in debates, etc., dur
ing the session.
The convention was called to gain
the sentiment of the coast upon six
important subjects, and the decisions
were made by delegations of five from
j each of the principal commercial or
ganizations in San Francisco, Los
; Angeles, Sacramento, Eureka, Port
. land, Astoria, Tacoma and San Diego,
j Others were invited, but did not send
; delegates.
! The conference decided:
; First That congress should en
jcourago the building of a trans-
pacific telegraphic cable to Australia
j by guaranteeing to private capital a
small income on the estimated invest
ment of 810,000,000.
Second That congress should ex
pend money to fortify Pacific coast
seaports.
Third That congress should sub
sidize the Pacific ocean steamers car
rying United states mails, just as
Great Pritiau subsidizes the Cana
dian Pacific line for carrying English
mails.
Fourth That congress should aid,
by national legislation, the energetic
construction of the proposed Nicar
agua canal.
Fifth That congress should euconr
ago American commerce by paying a
certain bounty per tonnage for all
American ships.
Sixth That the interstate com
merce commission should be asked to
so interpret the interstate commerce
law that domestic lines might be able
to compete with the Canadian Pacific
railroad in transcontinental traffic, and
that, in the event of a failure, congress
be asked to repeal the "long and short
haul" clause of the law.
The above is f ho action taken upon
the six subjects for which the confer
ence was called. In addition the con
ference decided to ask congress to in
augurate a more liberal policy for the
improvement of the rivers and har
bors of this coast; and, as previously
mentioned, appointed a committee to
formulate a plan for organizing a Pa
cific coast chamber of commerce, the
aim of which is to be to crystalize the
sentiment of the coast on great ques
tions and make concentrated appeals
to congress when necessary,
I. AV. Case, E. C. Holden, Samuel
Elmore and M.C.Crosby are expected
home to-day.

are going to try to carve out homes
for themselves and their children.

As soon as she is discontinued on this

Portland and Astoria as a night boat,
leaving here in the evening and start

not be taken over to the Sound again.
That point is conclusively settled.
The Mountain Queen, .when done,

A SEATTLE SALMON CANNERY.
Pointers For Columbia River Canners.
The following is rich. It was re
ceived yesterday afternoen:
Portland, Aug. 28, '89,
Editor Asteriak:
T send you part of a letter I received
from a friend of mine who is travelling
on the sound. It may be of some in
terest; to some of the Columbia river
canners to know how to do business
in their line. Yours truly,
In Seattle is a salmon cannery
owned now by O. N. Morse, who kept
a- hotel in the place before the
fire. Robert Ostrand is the man
ager. Mr. Ostrand formerly lived on
the Columbia river, where he is well
remembered, by some of the ,mer
chants and others both in Astoria and
Portland. Lewis Solomon is the
possessor; he was at One time foreman
for F. M. Warren, at Cathlamet. This
cannery is situated on what is called
Railroad avenue. The building was
formerly used as a furniture factory.
Being immediately on the route of the
S. L. & E. R, R. Co., it was cut in two
and part of it moved farther into the
bay to give room for a railroad track
between the two buildings. Last year
the property was leased by the Co
lumbia Canning Co., of Seattle, for a
salmon cannery. They made a com
plete failure of the enterprise and the
business was wound up this spring by
the sheriff of King county disposing
of the effects of the cannery to Mr.
Morse.
Our Astoria canners who are so par
ticular in having model canneries in
such shape to insure getting less rates
of fire insurance, are here taught a
lesson of frugality and economy not
found in any other salmon camaery in
ihe world.
Part of the upstairs is used for 25
ceut lodging rooms and residence,
while the lower part of the same build
ing is a commission house, marble
cutter, and, to wind up with, a first
class saloon, taking in an average, it
is said, of sixty dollars a day.
On the same floor is the "fisli dock.
In the building in which the cans are
cooked is a livery stable, within twenty-five
feet of the furnace door.
The proprietor informs me that his
rates of insurance are leas than the
Columbia river canners pay, (no doubt
owing to the adjuncts of the place).
I have, while here, endeavored to find
the insurance companies that take
such risks, that they may be of bene
fit to us on the Columbia river. If
this story is a fact about insurance,
Columbia river canners have been im
posed on by insurance companies do
ing business in Oregon.
A Big Month's Business.
The largest lnontfrs business ever
done in the Seattle land office was
completed yesterday .afternoon at 3
o'clock. During August there were
filed 150 original homestead entries,
151 original pre-emptionn, 320 cash
proofs, 350 homestead proofs and forty
timber applications, the whole aggre
gating 111,214 acres. The total re
ceipts for the month were 66,783.38.
During the months of July and Au
gust more final proofs passed than
during the proceeding year. When
the present register and receiver
took charge of the office, on the 1st
of Juue. they fouud 1,000 proofs
awaiting the action of the office. Of
these there now remain but 250 sus
pended. Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
