A bond, for a deed was yesterday filed in, the county clerk's oflice, by Wm.'Loeb, bonding lots 1 and 2, .sec. 21, T. 8 N., R 9 W., containing 129 acres. The bond acknowledges the receipt of 500 on the part of J. G. Hustler, and agrees that on the nav- ment of 810,000 cash on or before No vember 30th. 1889, and 20,000 in one and two years from date, a deed shall be given. While the New "Westminister South ern railway surveyors were taking levels and running lines near Blaine, Wash., the other day, they struck the line fence of a "certain farmer, and as they seemed about to cross the corner of his place he came out and ordered them away. They continued then work and prepared to cross his place, when lie rushed to his house and re appearing in a few moments with his shotgun took up a commanding posi tion on the top of the fence and offered to make n strainer out of any man's hide who attempted to come upon his land. As the surveyors wanted their skins to keep them warm this winter they left the gentleman monarch of the situation and moved on to the next farm. He will probably not be annoyed by the screech of the loco motive this winter. It seems electric lights occasionally wkik out for a moment in Portland as elsewhere. All sorts of reasons are . usually given for the cessation of light, and last Friday, according to the Or egonian, a gentleman called at the Office of the Willamette Falls Electric company, in Portland, and stated that the arc light in his saloon had flick ered the evening before, and he wished to know thfr reason. He was then and there told that the radiant energy arising from the sudden and simulta neous absorption of the voltaic cells causes a surplusage of potential energy, which breaks or disturbs the polygnal cellular lamina) and causes a nontinu ous current of the electric iluid dia metrically opposed to the critical speed of the dynamo and to the struc tural subdivisions of the magnets and armatures, in consequence of which the electrodes oscillate, and the car bons are given an alternating current and are consumed by volatilization in stead of by combination with the oxy gen of the atmosphere. Nothing like knowing about these things. PERSONAL MENTION. 4A.E. King, of Ilwaco, was in the city yesterday. The venerable Judge Callender over from Knappton yesterday. North Addition lots will be advanced ed to SCO per lot on Mondav, Nov. 17th ; so all who want bargains better get in while there is a show at the $13 rate. This is the best property on the market to-day as a speculation, and as the lay of the country is of the best, it will be a good place for residences in the near future. A letter in last night's mail calls for 6 lots to one person and 8 to another. Persons from the distance ap pear to be in possession of some facts of which our people arc evidently ignor ant; and they wisely select North Ad dition as a safe place in which to invest their money. Ingujry is already being made for some of those beautiful lots in block 15, Hustler & Aikens addition, at Eobb& Parker's. Remember that they will be on the market for a few days only at Sl25.(fo and S150.00. Call Monday and make your selections. M&ebiuists, Carpenters.

About eight to ten inched of snow was encountered on Jlie summit of the Cascade mountains by parties who crossed a few days ag"o into Crook county. Adrian Sheehan, son of ex-3heriff Sheehan, is reported to have left Port Townsend, owing bills amounting to over 5500. " Cards, wine and women were, the cause. The delicate operation known in medical practice as the Caesarian op eration was successfully performed at Seattle last Friday. It is said to be the first of the kind on the northwest coast. There is said to be $10,000 in coin in proposition urged in some quarters for the hands of the Seattle Eelief committee; and inquiries as to the disposition of the money are becoming frequent. The Southern Pacific train wrecker was sentenced, at Albany, to ten years in the penitentiary, by Judge Boise, last Friday. The two Eolfe brothers, indicted jointly with him, have both been discharged. John "W.Lce, formerly from Grant's Pass, Oregon, who has .been in Red ding about two months, and who was put in the calaboose a few evenings ago, cut his throat with a razor. lie bled profusely, bnt will likely recover. Pour Walla Walla ladies who have brought suit against the judges and inspectors of election, ask damages in the sum of 6,000 each because their votes were not accepted und counted at the October election, as other votes were. While attempting to break into the express office at Whatcom Mon day night an unknown man came near being killed by the agent, R. K. Gilson, who fired at the burglar, putting a bullet through his hat. Dago Frank, killed by Tom Eld ridge at Spokane Falls, was buried last Friday. It has been discovered that he was robbed of a gold watch and chain and 160 in money while dying in the store where he fell. The watch and chain were recovered. John B. Irwin, one of tin pioneers of Eastern Oregon, has discovered one of the richest free-gold properties ever found in the state in Union county. The quantity is large, and the best judges say it is a free milling compo sition of at least slUU to the ton m gold. Mrs. McAdow, one of the owners of the Spoiled Horse mine of Montana, recently drove into Helena in a buck board, unattended, carrying a gold brick worth $40,000. ft took two porters and a truck to get the heavy mass of gold from the wagon into the bank. John F. Givens, a heavy timber owner of Gray's Harbor, is in San Francisco, where he says that Wash ington and Oregon are still filling up with easteners, who are taking up gov ernment timber laud. He thinks there will not be an acre of railroad or government timber land unbought within five years. McNeil's island penitentiary is a United States prison which now con tains Go inmates. The question has recently been mentioned as to the probable disposal of this prison, after the admission of the state. It is not the custom of. the general government to maintain its own prisons in states or territories. Nine persons, a man, a woman and seven children, attempting to cross Yaquina bay in a small boat Wednas day, were drowned. The bodies of the mother and six of the children have been recovered. The name of the man was H. A. Wagner; the mother and six children were the fam ily of G. W. Parker. By some queer arrangement the boundary line of Yamhill county was extended or moved west until it in cludes a strip of territory about three miles wide west of the Grande Ronde Indian reservation, thus leaving Tilla- mooK county only a little over six miles wide, from tne eastern boundary to the coast m tne Jxestucca country, and almost? cut the county in two. Convicts in the state penitentiary continue to cut off or attempt to cut off, their hands. The latest to attempt the self amputation feat were Cnni mings and Burke from Multnomah county. The former succeeded only in part, getting off the end of one finger, and the latter made two bad hacks to the bone. Five have now performed this feat and as a pnnish. ment will be kept in dungeons. The telegraph aunounces that "the California state board of trade has re ceived twenty-five cases of canned fruits from various local firms, to be sent east with exhibits of the new 'California on Wheels.' Cans to be opened and served to visitors." This says the Statesman, contains sug gestion to Oregon. Why would it not be a good plan for her to pursue a similar course when sending away car loads of exhibits next year. The state fish commission an nounces itself as being practically op posed to the introduction of catfish in any of the waters of Oregon, saying tnat they are enemies to our salmon and other food fishes, and that our fish are superior to catfish in every respect, while the latter was of no commercial value. The commission has been applied to for catfish to in troduce into lakes and streams, but for the reasons above stated has de clined to furnish them. Mrs. E. D. Sloan, of Klamath agency, found recently in a crema tion mound on the Klamath Indian reservation a Harrison badge of the campaign of 1841. It was found un der several feet of burned clay, ashes and calcined human bones, along with beads, coins, obsidian arrow heads, stone implements, etc. The "log cabin" and profile view of General Harrison show quite plainly. Probably these Indians got the badge from General J. C. Fremont's party when they traveled through this country. Most of the newspapers in Oregon commend the new game law, and urge a rigid enforcement of its Draconic provisions. The Grant's Pass Con rier however does not see much to com mend in any game law. It says game laws originated in a barbaric age, and in all ages they have the earmarks of oppression on the poorer classes. The sooner all wild animals are out of the country the better. If the Alpine club wants to preserve game let it buy land and fence it in, and not by law through the expense of perpetuating game upon the struggling settlers. The Eldorado mining ditch prop erly, which has long been in litigation, was sold at auction in Portland last Friday, in accordance with an order made by Judge Deady. It "was knocked down to W. Gert. of Chi cago, for S53,511, the amount of cer tain liens on the property, held by Gert, Abell and others. The Eldo rado ditch is the longest in Oregon, and one of the longest in the United States, and was constructed over twenty years ago. Its extreme length from the north or middle fork of Burnt river, in eastern Oregon, to Malheur, is about ninety-five mile3. The ditch originally cost about 250, 000. G. C. Duncan, an eastern explorer recently in Oregon, in writiug about the Malheur cave, among other things says: The cave is twenty feet wide and six feet high at its entrance, and has an incline downward for the first 200 feet, and then turns to the north east and runs very nearly straight to the water, a distance of one half mile from its mouth. It will average fifty "feet wide and twenty feet high and is very uniform in ;ts structure, the walls rnuning up about six feet on either side, and then commence to arch over, and certainly form the finest arch in the whole family of caves that were ever discovered. It is almost beyond description and rivals the great Mammoth cave in its smooth ness of character and uniformity. This magnificent cave has evidently been used some time by the Indians as a fortificatien: the entrance has been walled np with stone, and there are, also, two walls of breastwork on the inside running from each corner of the entrance diagonally near the center some fifty feet long; this was for a sec ond defense in case they were driven back from the mouth. 3IARIXK NEWS AND NOTES.

Kappletea & Co. AN ASTORIAN ABROAD. 31. Studzinslci Now Sojonrninp; in Berlin" Beklix, Oct. 20th, 'S9 J. F. HaiiIjOran: My first letter from Paris is in your hands. Here is a little more. I left Paris after a thorough inspection of the exposition and the city as far as time is allowed. The exposition is the grandest I ever saw; the buildings and domes rich and brilliantly decorated; the sur rounding parks covered with choice plants, trees and flowers. It is hard to believe that this costly arrangement is only temporary. The exhibition comprises all branches of industry as well as agriculture, horticulture, art and an endless variety of novel inven tions of nearly all nations of Europe and the United States, which latter makes a fine showing and is not so small as is represented in our papers, and I am glad of it. Life at Paris is expensive, and a stranger gets a good taste of it, for he has to pay for everything a higher price on account of the boom which the exposition caused, and, as the Par isians term it, this affair happens but once in ten years. T have been up the Eiffel Tower and got enough of it when I was elevated 750 feet by the elevators. From this point I had a fine view of the entire city and sur roundings, whicii latter gave me full compensation for all the trouble of getting there, for the rushing and scrambling was at the lime very un pleasant. From Paris I went over Belgium to Cologne, where I saw the Cathe dralthe finest monumental building, with the exception of St. Peter's at Rome, in the world. I was struck by its beauty and grandeur which has not its equal. The Cathedral cov ers 88,700 square feet of ground, and is 532 feet high; 128 great windows; 576 statues; 104 pillars; several thou sand spires which cover almost the entire building. From Cologne I went over the Rhine to Berlin and arrived there at night. Next day I saw the czar of Russia with the Emperor William driving by together, lots of brass helmets all around and much ado. The people of Berlin are much in love with their emperor, the pomp, the military show, etc. In every house I find images of the past and the present emperors. I must confess, this worshipping of these potentates looks to me ridiculous and unworthy a nation as intelligent as this one. The second day I had to report myself to the police oflice, for every stranger who has a private room has to identify himself; thus the con trol over the city is so complete that I could be found in this immense city in a short space of time by any friend who desired to sec me. But the re port alone was not sufficient: the of ficer wanted a passport, which demnnd I could not satisfy. I showed him my U. S. citizen's certificate and told him that this is my letter of credit from Uncle Sam, and if he had not calmed down with its sight I would try a more effective way. So he finally ac ceded to have my way free. This city is brilliantly laid out and built. The streets are scrupulously clean, surpas sing all other cities, Paris included, in this regard; in many of them there are shade trees, which give them a pleasant appearance. The city has grown so much within twelve years that I do not know many parts of it, with its solid blocks of six-story houses for miles. Real estate is here way up to the pinnacle, and commands prices like those of New York, way up into the millions. Living expenses here are decidedly cheaper than in Paris, nnd 1 found here quite a number of Americans who were better posted in a good many ways than I was, because they had al ready lived here a couple of months to find it out. AVe all agree in one opin ion, which latter I'll tell you when I arrive at Astoria again. Give my kindest regards to all my friends, and tell them that by all that 1 saw and heard, the place where T have all my friends is the dearest to me after all. With greetings to you, am, Yours, M. Studzixski. Theie is more experience, time, and brain work represented in the prepara tion of Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other medicine.
