M ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY , OCTOBER 'J7. 18S9. The senatorial party are expected here to visit the jetty next Thursday. Potatoes are worth SI a bushel at Itosebur, while apples only sell for ft) cents a bushel. The high school district of Port land, has 18,000 in its. treasury, and the people want a big clock put in the tower. The fish traps at "NVillapa, Wash., report good business, Messrs. Koetou t jMessengr ehaviug taken 1,U0) fish from two traps in two day. "Joe the Turk" is still confined in the East Portland jail, Zimmeimnn still makes night hideous with his horn on the streets of this city. Two flags on that one custom house pole is a terrible strain on the one pole. There is room on that ga zabo on top of the roor for twa poles. The Seattle iVess has found a plague spot in that city where eigh teen cases of typhoid fever are raging. It is called "Shinty town" and r00 people live there. Thriftily states the Polk county Itemizer: "A little saved here and a little saved there will, by and by, amount to enough to buy a sow, a cow, and a brood mare, which might be the foundation of a fortune." Hume's cannery on the Coquille closed for the season last week, and a number of the fishermen left for As toria overland. The catch is reported by the Coos Bay Neim to have been the largest ever put tip by a cannery on the river. Muskrats are building their houses very high this year along the Assina bone river. Higher than for ten years, they are twice as high and big as last year. The' sign is said never to fail. The Northwestern Canadian says this will be a hard winter. Nathan Fry has been bound over before justice Andrews at Lebanon in the sum of S590 to answer before the grand jury to the charge of arson for attempting to burn the saw-mill of Jennings & McPherson above Le banon. He owns a saw-mill in the same vicinity. Last Sunday's San Francisco Ex aminer contained forty pages of seven columns each. They now have two mammoth new presses capable of turning off 36,000 eight-page papers per hour. They have a daily circula tion of 56,000, aud it now requires a half-million dollars a year to run the paper. Horse thieving is being carried on extensively in the Snake river region according to the following from the "Wallowa Ch ieftain : A. W. Caldwell, who resides on Snake river, has had 130 head of horses stolen from him. He offers 500 reward for the horses and 250 for the arrest and conviction of the thieves. A sneak thief yesterday evening stole a three-dollar gold-tipped um brella from the' rack in front of C. II. Cooper's store. Mr. Cooper saw him take the umbrella, tear the price ticket off, and walk away with it He over hauled the fellow, and made him put the umbrella back. He should be ar rested and made an example of. At St. Michaels, Alaska ilour ia 15 per 100 pounds, beans 25 cents a pound, sugar 35 cents, tobacco 1.40 per pound, molasses 2 a gallon, dried apples and pears 30 cents a pound, condensed milk 75 cents a can, coffee CO cents a pound, cheese 1.25 a pound, shirts 1 each and boots 15 a pair. Gold is reckoned at 16 an ounce. This has been the warmest October experienced in these parts for many years. Berry bushes are blossoming again, and green peas, cauliflowers, eta, are ripening as in the early sum mer. The" bees don't know whether to go out of business, or not, and still delight to bark and bite, they gather ing honey all the day to eat it all at night. The price of lumber in California markets is lower now than three years ago, yet mill logs on the Sound are dearer now than at that time. Logs for plain lumber bring there from 6 to 7.50 per thousand, and extra choice long timber is worth 10 per thousand feet at the logging camps, not including the towage to the mills. The principal "loggers of the Sound have formed a trust and raised the price. A letter from "Will Logan says that he had arrived at Philadelphia all right and successfully passed the re quired examination aud entered the Philadelphia Dental College. 18th and Cherry streets. The dean of the col lege told him had he been one day later he would have been barred from entering as the "time specified closed. that day. When Will heard that he was glad he hadn't stopped over a day at Madison, "Wisconsin, to see Fred Prael as had been his original inten tion. The Walla Walla Journal thinks there is a whole lot in a name. Speak ing of the Seattle Pd&t-Inteiligencer, he says: "It's a splendid paper, but the long handle to its name will for ever mitigate against it. It always does. Let a paper have a long name, and its exchanges will hardly ever give it credit for anything cuiled from it. They Bay: "Life is too short," and let it go uncredited. Let a man, with a long outlandish name, run for office, and if nothing else could beat him, his name will." T picked up a bit of information the other day." said a city hotel clerk, "rtiat.T hadn't thouffht of before. A couplo of men were talking in the of fice, when one asked on what day of saeaaasssiaista the week Christmas will bo this year. 'Let's see,' replied the other, Iwas married on the 1st day of May. That was Wednesday. Christmas will come on Wednesday.' That struck me for cibly, and when I got a little leisure I gathered up a lot of old calendars and investigated it. I found that it is true that the 1st day of May and Christ mas of the same year occur on the same day of the week." The Ellensburg Register says that "Keen your eve on Pasco" is evi dently not as easy a matter as the land company's advertisements would lead a stranger to suppose. A gentle man who keeps hotel his name is not Reiley, had a cellar dug last week eight feel deep and twelve.in width. But al.s-.. of all things terrestrial, Pac ival estate is the niot shifting, for when the h. k. started out to put the masons to work there was no cel lar, or hole iu the ground no anything to even indicate where the place was. The wind had raised the 50 per foot lots and deposited them m the excava tion. John C. Fremont, the first Repub lican candidate for President, is now about sixty-five years of age. His hair is snow-white and he seems to have paid great attention to the care of his. locks and whiskers. The latter are cut in the French style and his hair is paited in the middle. General Fremont's adventuresome life has left but little impression upon him, and by his present appearance no one would be prompted to pick him out as the Pathfinder of the Rock Mountains. His career is marked with many inter esting historic reminiscences, but his name is seldom mentioned iu public circles. Scows and barges loaded with green masses of branches, etc., bound to gether, are lying about the O. R. & N. dock. From a distance they look like small square green islands. They are for the jetty, aud the green foliage that composes these mattrasses is cut at St. Johns at the mouth of the Will amette, and at Colnmbia City. It costs 2.25 a cord and the poles bring twenty-five cents apiece, It looks like a long ways to haul brush, when there is so much of the Eame kind of growth in profusion here, but experi ence goes to show that the lack of suitable roads to haul it on makes it cheaper to import it from the in terior. On the 9th of last June, six men, Dick Richards, John Wiren, Lars Lar sen, H. Dewery, Gilbert Johnson and John Olafsou, started on the steamer Marie O. llaaven from the site of the Cape Lees Packing company's canuery in Alaska, on a deer hunt. The party separated, and after an hour's hunt Richards and Wiren came to a shore where mussels were plenly. Wiren ate four and Richards ate ten of them. Soon after they both were taken sick, and ' lay on the steamer as the steamer started for Yes bay. Wiren recovered, but Richards died that afternoon. His comrades have now returned from Alaska, and tell the story of his sad death. A copy of the Idaho Tri-Weekly Statesman, of August 2, 1864, more than twenty-five years ago, tells us that beef was retailing at that time at 16 and 25 cents per pound; mutton, 20 and 25; chickens, 2 and 2.50 each; butter, 1 per pound; eggs, 1.50 per dozen; potatoes, new, 15 cents per pound; oats, 12; hay, 35 and 40 per ton; onions, 25 and 30 cents per onnd; cabbage, 15, and so on. The following winter, however, the foregoing articles commanded double the price, and many of them could not be had at that, and green cottonwood was scarce at 20 per cord. In the same number of the Statesman the editor, Jas. S. Reynolds, acknowledges from John iucUlellan the receipt of specimens or yellow flint com, followed by n col umn setting forth the productiveness of Boise valley soil. The law cards of Judge M. Kelley and Eugene Semple, ex-governor of Washington territory, also appear among the advertisements. Semple had then just got in from the plains, a sprig of a lawyer, full of al kali, enssedness, devilment and De mocracy; and after taking an active part in the political campaign of that fall, came to Oregon, where he became one of the leaders of the party. British Columbia Caunetl Salmon. The J. H. Huste.de has cleared from Victoria for London with a full cargo of British Columbia canned salmon. This is the largest vessel ever loaded m that trade, and of course carries tho largest cargo, consisting of 56,684 cases, valued at 330,908.

The revenue cutter Corwin is ex pected here this week. The A. Br Field and Q en. Miles arrived in yesterday. The Danube crossed out. Last Wednescay the steamers Oeo. IP. Elder aud Oregon had a little race all to themselves which djd not leak out till this morning, when the freight clerk of the former vessel told about it The steamers left the steamer dock at Astoria at 11 o'clock in the morning, and as they pulled out at the same time, it was evident that a race was on the tapis. As they pulled up alongside of each other the Oregon dipped her flag to pass, but it was not to be that way, The Elder's propeller flew from eighty-five revolu tions to 105, aud she shot out like a bullet from a guu, leaving tho big steamship considerably to the rear. The Telegram says that the Elder reached the big iron railroad bridge at 5:10 p. m., having made about fifteen miles an hour on her way up. The Oregon got in some forty minutes later. This is said to be the best time that has ever been made between tho two cities bv an ocean steamer. A.

Pans, France, Oct. 8th, 1SS9. Editor Astekiax: Since Sept. 7th I have been traveling with but ten days' rest at Chicago, one at Salt Lake City, one at Denver, one at Colorado Springs and three at New York; also a few hours at Niag ara Falls." I embarked on the French steamer Gascogne on September 28th and ar rived at Havre October Gth, after a very pleasant voyage. This steamer is not a fast one, but is excellent in all other respects, with good care for every passenger, and a splendid table. The list of passengers showed names of all nationalities, a Colonel Bonaparte be ing among them. Soon the English speaking people from all parts of the United States gathered together and loud were the cheers that went up for the red, wliite and blue. Many felt the distance from home keenly, a kind of home-sickness, together with sea sickness, rendering them uncomfort able; but this feeling did not last long. Havre is a city of 50,000 inhabitants and has a fortified harbor which shows remarkable skill in engineering. The many water fronts have stone quays, and are lined with old and stately four story stone buildings. The streets in side are wide and lined with shade trees. Trade is lively on account of the many travelers passing through, but shipping is stagnant. From Havre I took the train for Paris and soon found myself boxed in a narrow space. The entrance was from the side, and a seat for two persons was scarce ly large enough for one. There was no platform, no vestibule, and no toilet room merely a-gartitioned seat with cushions, but T" soon forgot the uncomfortable features of this mode of railroading, being lost in admira tion of the beautiful and changing scenery of the country traversed. Soon I arrived at Bouen, the capital of Nor mandie, a place of 150.000 inhabitants, and much spread and branched out with a number of factories. Near this city the train went over a viaduct some 250 feet high, and through fivo tun nels several thousand feet long. In the evening I arrived at Paris. This city is at present booming. Hotels are costly, that is, 18 francs a day for a room only, with no elevator to go up to the fourth and fifth stories. I considered this too steep, so I went to another but with ao better results. At length I found pno which suited me, being in the centre of the city, and al though I occupy rooms on the fourth story, I pay 16 francs a day for lodg ing, 5 francs for each meal and serv ice, the service meaning the garcon's extra, and yet these hotels are not one half so comfortable as those of Amer ica. The exposition, no doubt, causes hotel keepers at present to increase their rates. Thalraffic in the streets is done by 'busses and cabs in thou sands which literally cover the boule vards, so that it is dangerous to cross a street Besides, there is an ocean of human beings on the sidewalks hur- ryiug to and fro-all gaiety ajad life as far as one can see. Street cars run in the suburbs only, and this fact ac counts for the high rents, for the peo ple are compelled to live near their places of business, aud hence this place is packed, and comfort cannot well be expected by strangers. The eating salons of Paris throughout are good, and no matter where I demand something for the inner man it is wholesome and deliciously prepared. The only trouble at the restaurants with me is that the French bill of fare gets away with me, or, rather, with my knowledge of the names' of the differ ent dishes a la bo and so. I groatly wonder that in suoh a large city as Paris not oue among 5,000 of them has any idea of tho Eng lish language, although it is much fre quented by English speaking people. At some show-windows I read "Eng lish spoken," but when I entered Jean or Pierre was gone somewhere and no body else could do it, so I had to work my tongue the other way.
