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

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.

McNeil's island penitentiary is a

By some queer arrangement the

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.

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.
