ASTORIA, OREGON:
WEDNESDAY.

The Astorian never runs io a fight
nor f ron it.

was assessed for this year.
Snyder says ibs "a syndieal' with
the accent on the cat. .More likely it's
a torn cat, to judge from its growl.
There are 700 men employed at
present on railroad work along the
line of the Astoria fe South Toast rail
road. Guts, of the Postscript, says "We."
Who is ''We?'' Are you going to have
pups?
Wonder what would Pat Gihnore
take to bring his big Twenu -Second
regiment band down here for one
night?
The next municipal election in this
city takes place on the 11th of next
month. There will be a full set of
officials elected.
The Alaskan salmon pack will ex

575,759 cases had arrived from Alaska
at San Francisco.
Throw a stone at a cur that is
barking at you. If he squeals yon
know he is hit. That's what's the
matter with the Postscript.
The management promise a good or
chestra and a fine play at the opera
house to-night. Milton Nobles' name
alone certainh will fill the house.
Lt isn't fair to other canners to have
an canneryman put a Columbia river
salmon label on salmon caught at
Tillamook, or elsewhere on the out
side. The presiding genius of the Post
script doesn't appear to like The
Astorias. '"No rogue e'er felt the
halter draw, with good opinion
of the law."
Misses C. an'd Z. Carruthers took a
line photograph of the recent tableau
at the A. O. U. W. anniversary cele
bration, making a handsome souvenir
of the occasion..
No. I, Vol. 1 of the Portland Morn
ing Journal is received. It is a six
column folio, about the size of this
paper, and presents a neat appearance
typographically.
In the ease of the state of Oregon
vs. Larry Sullivan, the jury at 10:30
last night brought in a verdict of not
guiltv. The case of .loe Baker comes
up for trial at two o'clock this after
noon.
One of the largest funeral corteges
ever seen in this county, assembled
yesterday at the late residence of Mrs.
Nancy Morrison, to pay the last sad
tribute of respect to the remains of
one of Clatsop's honored pioneers.
The proprietors of The Astoriax
have one thousand dollars that says
that this paper has the largest circu
lation of any newspaper published
on the Columbia river. This is no
blntr. It is a square oiler. Put up or
shut up.
The distinguished Democrat who
recently edited the Postscript, kindly
told Republicans what they ought to
do. The old fable of the ass wearing
the skin of the lion is personified in
his case. The minute he opened his
mouth he gave himself away.
The work of pushing the jetty sea
ward will be prosecuted as far in the
season as possible. Most satisfactory
results have been achieved, and from
a doubtful experiment the work now
emerges into the satisfactory condi
tion of a triumphant success.
Yesterday was a superb day. The
brilliant sunlight, warm as in Septem
ber, made out door existence delight
ful Experienced mariners say, how.
ever, that yesterday was a "weather
breeder," and that a southwester
will come piping over the hills before
long.
"Guts," of the Postscript, shows
how contemptible he can be. While
villifying the editor of this paper lie
still clips items from these columns
without credit. Of course, to get the
news he must get The Astoriax, but
what a rat ho is. Al. Snyder was
right He is the boss "rat""
The Postscript and the Bladder
have formed a mutual admiration
society, and trade matter. AVhen the
JrOSLScripu jjiius uu m-cusiuuu.i ltciu ui
news in the Bladder it takes it and
credits it. It steals news items right
along from The Astqrian and never
predits them. That i3 characteristic,
however.
Prineville in eastern Oregon has the
same kick coming about lire insur
ance that Astoria has. The town has
not suffered a severe loss from fire for
the past five or six years, and has a
first class fire apparatus, yet insurance
companies charge the same rates they
did when there was no protection
against iire.
Did yon ever turn over a flat rock
or piece of wood and see the dirty
black mass of loathesomeness that un
wound and scattered away from the
sudden light and air? Try it, the
first chance you get, and then you will
see how the Postscript crowd felt yes
terday when The Astobian turned a
rav of sunlight on their guilty souls.
According to the following late tele
gram from Ottawa the newspapers of
the Dominion must have almost as
large a circulation as The Morning
Astorian. The amount of newspaper
matter carried by the mails during
the first fourteen days in September
was 379,000 pounds, or nearly ten mil
lion pounds in a year. At the rate of
one cent, per pound this would re
present an income of 100,000.
Investors in timber land haven't in
all cases realized their expectations
in, regard to getting it, and it is as
well. The idea of acquiring clear
title to 160 acres or less of timber
and should be to hold it, whether for
a 'rise," or to log it would depend on
circumstances. Probably no! one in
a hundred of thoe who take timber
claims i-xpect to go out and cut the
log-, oft it themselves.
As a matter of fact Sam'l Elmore is
the owner of the Postscript. It really
makes no difference, but it is so, all
the same. The present "manager"
offered to sell himself along with
the Postscript, but Elmore refused to
buy him All Elmore wants to get
out of the concern is the money he
put into it. He got in first through
friendship, and is now throwing good
money after bad. However, it's his
money and he has a right to throw it
away if he wants to.
The United States fishing steamer
Albatioss; which was some time on
the coast of Oregon and Washington,
has gone to Mare island, where she
will undergo extensive repairs. She
is to be thoroughly overhauled and
renovated, her boilers and engines
looked over and cabins and interior
generally refitted. It is thought she
will be" laid up for at least four
months. When she is again ready
she will sail to Behring sea, Alaska,
and remain there during the summer
locking up the fishing interests.
They love "scoops" in Cheyenne as
well as in New York. The other day
the Leader printed an exclusive story
of a railroad wreck at Sterling, Colo.,
in which thirty passengers were re
ported killed, while its rival, Slack's
Sun, had never a line. Ed. Towse
the Leailer'.'i city editor got the news
in his paper under great difficulties.
The A. P. had sent in "30" and the
paper had gone lo press when Towse
dropped in the telegraph office on his
way noiuu :mu iuuuu u uuucliii ui mu
story. Every paper was printed when
he got back to the Leader office aud
the compositors and pressmen had
gono home. Towse set up the story
himself in duplicate, fixed the forms
for the two job presses and printed
the "scoop" on the top margin of the
Leaders first page for the entire city
edition. It was 5:30 a. m. when the
job was completed, but every local
subscriber had the accident story at
his breakfast table and in the Snn of
fice there were bellowings denoting
great rage. Towse is a native of that
wild town, but his newspaper methods
will bear comparison with thoe of the
liveliest of eastern journals.
Some people have a notion that an
imported article is necessarily better
than a domestic or home-made one,
and this idea extends to cigars. A
high-priced imported cigar bought of
an honest dealer is almost invariably
good, but those who call for "three-for-a-quarter
imported" get very little
for their money, and far less than if
they took domestic cigars. The rea
son is this: The duty "on cigara is
$2.50 per iound weight, and 25 per
cent, ad valorem, while the duty on
tobacco is only 35 cents a pound. It
is clear, then, that imported cigars
sold at 8lc cents each cannot have
cost 'as much as $20 a thousand in
Cuba, whereas the donlestic three-for-
a-quarter should have cost bo or febU
at the factory. The prejudice is due
to the fact that no one seems to bo
able to make a cisrar so well as a na
tive Cuban. But now manv of the
leading factories or New York, Key
West aud Tampa are owned by Span
iards who employ many Cuban work
men, and hence there is less difference
than ever between a good cigar made
of imported tobacco in this country
and an imported cigar; in fact, the
principal difference is that the Ameri
can made article is larger and con
tains more high- grade tobacco.

NOW I Ii.VT ME I)OW TO SLEEP,
A contemporary says tho following
poem was loft in his office by an un
known man who came to ask for work.
Near the camp-fire's flickering light,
In my blanket bed I lie,
Gazing through the shades of night
At the twinkling stars on high.
O'er me spirits in tho air
Silent vigils seem to keep,
As I breathe my childhood's prayer:
"Now I lay me down to sleep."
Sadly sings the whippoorwill
In the boughs of yonder tree:
Laughingly the dancing mill
Swells the midnight melody.
Foeiueu n.ay be lurking near,
In the canyon dark and deep
Low 1 breathe in Je3cs' ear:
'I prav the Lord my sonl to keep."
Mid the stars one face I see,
One the Savior called away:
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In this lonely mountain break.
Take me to her, Savior, dear,
"If I sbonld dio before I wake. '
Fainter grows the flickering light,
As each ember slowly dies.
Plaintively the birds at night,
Fill the air with saddening cries.
Over mo they seem to cry:
"'lou may never more awake.
Low I lisp." 'iff I should die,
I pray the Lord, my soul to take."
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."
