Mrs. B. C. Kindred of Fort Stevens

At a meeting of the Astoria Build
ing and Loan association held last
evening $3200. was loaned at an aver
age rate of GG months, interest in ad
vance. One man who got a "timber claim,"
recently finds upon subsequent and
careful investigation that the actual
quarter section that he owns has six
trees on it.
Experienced railroad men who have
been over the road bed of the Astoria
and South Coast railway as far as the
locomotive runs, say that it is an ex
cellent one.
Frank Silva, better known as'Dago
Frank," aud well remembered in As
toria, was shot in Spokane Falls last
night and sang to the music as he
joined the choir invisible.
A large quantity of iron arrived at
Portland eteiday for the Astoria

"Papa," said he, after he had had
some sense knocked info him, ''will I
ever again be as pretty as I was?"
"No, my son," said the financial par

moie."
E. S. Looniis, brother of L. A.
Loomi?, died in Portland yesterday.
His body was brought down on the
TelepJione yesterday and taken over
to Tlwaeo to be buiied.
On returning from dinner yester
day the editor of this paper found on
his desk, a hundred dollar Hammond
type writer, complete, with a compli
mentary letter accompanying it, the
gift of an old and valued friend.
City clerk Jewett was buy yester
day making up, for transmission to
"Washington certified claims of the
city against the federal government,
for expenses incurred in repairing aud
raising Third street and Benton street.
Astoria is now in instant communi
cation with the surrounding points
of Alderbrook, Fort Stevens, llwaco
aud Chinook. A cable will soon con
nect it with Tillamook llock. And
now a telephone line is talked of to
Tillamook.
Yesterdav morning while Parker
and Hanson's delivery wagon was
driving along Second street near their
store it ran over Theo Brackets dog
Suoozer, the poor dog died without a
struggle. Suoozer was between
fifteen and twenty years old and he
will be missed around the cigar store.
Engineer Granger goes right along
with the corps of assistants laying out
the preliminary line for the railway
from Kinney's cannery, the proposed
terminus, westward to the point. The
Astoria and South Coast railroad
company have not yet bought that
property for a terminus, but there is
an option on it for that purpose.
When the laud offices notices were
being sent into the Pioneer office in
big wads, and they had to send after
extra nonpariel and minion to set
them in, The Astokiax getting soup,
it had no kick coming, and never said
a 'word. It was a Democratic admin
istration, aud the Pioneer was a Dem
ocratic paper. That was all right.
The Postscript trying to let Curtis
down easy says that he has "been as
good a Kepublican in national politics
as the editor of The Astoriax." This
is the biggest lie yet In city, county,
state and national politics Curtis was
a Democrat and did his best or worst
to help elect the Democratic ticket
But this is something everybody knows
and is ancient history.
A few days since at one of the city
schools, while a class was in recitation,
a little boy kept half reclining in the
corner of his seat Miss ,the
teacher, had several times asked him
to sit up, and finally reprimanded him
very sharply. Then the little fellow,
breaking into tears, said plantively:
"Well, 1 guess if you had a boil where
I've got one, you wouldn't setup
straight"
The latest invention in cheap mouth
instruments comes from Austria, and
is generally called the "sweet potato,:'
though its right name is the ocarina.
It is made of clay, and exactly resem
bles a sweet potato in shape. It is a
kind of combination of the flute and
clarinet, but is of course very much
shorter. The ocarina is made in every
key and can be played without diffi
culty, being probably the easiest
learned musical instrument ever in
vented The official records in the post office
show that during a certain period
ending Sept 30th, The Astorian in
the ordinary course of business and
without "special" effort, but as a mat
ter of usual business, sent through
the post office, 1807 lbs. of mailed
newspapers to bona fide subscribers:
the Bladder during the same time
sent 1,088 lbs, the Postscript sent
413 lbs: The Astorian- sending far
more than the two together.
Capt Whitconib, of the steamer
Cascades; is having built a bazoo.
It is not as big as a calliope, but can
make more noise than a dozen calli
opes. He is also having the capacity
of the boiler increased, so that the
boat won't have to stop when he turns
loose on that bazoo. He doesn't ex
pect to wake the dead, but thinks
when he get that bazoo going every
ont h- northwestern Oregon and
southwestern Washington will know
the Cascades is coming.
The J'otlwripl coos as gentle as a
sucking dove after making faces and
calling name3 and making aU sorts of
dirty insinuations against this paper
audits editer: it now saj's it doesn't
want to abuse anybody, and assumes
an air of injured innocence. It got
oir very light If those who have it
will try to be honest, and stop lying
and let decent people alone, itniay
escape further castigatiou. Patience
has its limits and they were exceeded
in this instance. It has had its les
son. Let it profit b;. it.
On the county assessment roll, as it
stands, The Astoriax is assessed to
pay on $4,700; the Bladder is assessed
to pay on $310; the Postscript isn't
assessed at all. Of course being
worthless it isn't supposed to have
any tangible value, there being noth
ing to assess. The difference how
ever is manifest, and the contrast
noticeable. Even the mortgage on the
Postscript doesn't appear on the
county tax rell: a good many mort
gagesdo, but, like enough, this par
ticular mortgage is worthless. Mean
while The Astoriax and other sol
vent institutions are compelled to pay
higher taxes than if such as the Post
script had something on the tax roll
to pay on.
The bill of The Astorian for post
age for the quarter ending Sept. 30th,
18S9, paid to the post office at this
place was more than the bills of the
Bladder aud the Postscript together,
for the same time. This is a fact in
teresting to advertisers. The Asto-i
riax paid just four times as much as
one, and sixty per cent more than the
other. Put the Bladder's postage bill
aud the Postscript's postage bill to
getherfor that time, and The Asto
rian's bill is eighteen per cent more
than theirs. This is not the irrespon
sible statement of a discharged em
ploye of any newspaper office, but is
from the U. S. official record. The
Astoriax has one thousand dollars
that says that it has the largest circu
lation of any newsaper published on
the Columbia river.
A well posted railroad man tells a
representative of the Albany Herald
that he had good reason to believe
that the Union Pacific intends to
reach Astoria by crossing the Cas
cades southeast of Albany, aud that
the Albany aud Astoria railroad com
pany recently incorporated in that city
is a Union Pacific movement. The
Union Pacific company has recently
had surveyors in the field, looking for
a route across the Cascades, aud. more
improbable things have happened
than that this company incorporated
right beneath our noses should be a
part of the plans of the Union Pacific
in the extension of its lines to the Pa
cific ocean. This would also verify
the assertiou made by Col. T. E. Hogg
while here, in reference to the bnild-
mg of the Oregon Pacific to an east
ward connection, that it was no longer
a question of whether or not the Ore
gon Pacific would become a transcon
tinental road, but a question of how
nianv other such lines would be built
in the near future.

big row at mahone's house.
Petersburg, Va., Nov. 6. A scene
bordering on terror took place at Ma
hone's hotel, last evening. About 11
o'clock, a mob of drunken men came
down the street, firing off rockets and
Bomau candles and shouting. When
they reached Mahone's residence, they
haled and fired their rockets against
his house, accompanying their action
by derisive remarks and shouting for
Mahene: "Come out!" "Come out!"
"We dare him to come out!" cried the
ringleaders. Seizing a double-barreled
shotgun loaded with buckshot,
and with the butler aud a number of
his friends Mahone opened his front
door and went out. For a time it
seemed as if there would be blood
shed, as it was understood that re
volvers had been displayed, Chas. N.
Bomain, a dealer in fireworks, was at
the head of the crowd and shouting to
Mahone, cried: "Shoot! you d d
pack!" The crowd shouted again de
risively and poured a volley of fire
works toward the house. By this
time it was discovered that one of the
party with fireworks had been shot
aud the entire party left.
About midnight the chief of polic
appeared with warrants sworn out by
Bomain charging Mahone with assault
with intent to kill one W. M. Morri
son. Mahone was held in $2,500 bail
which was furnished. Mahone said
that the gun which he brought out of
the house when the crowd appeared
there was not loaded.

DEATH THWARTED HER PLANS.
San Francisco, Nov. G. - Mrs.
Crocker left a will, but not the one
she would have left had she lived a
few days longer. One of the sons of
the deceased lady made his will last
Snnday week, and although Mrs.
Croker was then in her usual health,
advised her to make her will at
the same time. She did so leav
ing her property to 'her four children,
but it was understood between her
and her attorney that on the follow
ing Wednesday he should call and re
ceive her instructions for a will of a
different and more elaborate charac
ter; for, although Mrs. Crocker in
tended to leave the bulk of her prop
erty to her children, she also intended
to make provision for carrying on the
various charitable enterprises in
which she had interested so deeply of
late years. The seoond will was never
made, for Mrs. Crocker died on Sun
day. A Great Chauce For Great Capitalists.
