The wood scows an all busy. 'The wood costs the scows from 32 to Si a cord; though by the time it gets in trim for burning in the domestic stove these cost ligmes have materi ally inci cased. The Clatsop mill box factory, en larged and improved, is quite an in stitution. The proprietors have an other similar establishment in San Francisco, and the combined yearly output is something immense. Miss Emma Warren's private school closes this afternoon, till after Thanksgiving. There will be literary exercises at 130 p. m.f to which the friends and patrons of the school, and the public generally, are invited. A Polk county man received a "shi varec because he married within a month after his first wife's death. He told the serenaders that he didn't think it showed good taste to come banging around a man's house so soon after a funeral. A captain of a small steamer run ning on the Sound told a reporter of the Seattle Post Intelligencer the other day: "I have made since June 1st over $1,000 per month profit on my little boat. At this rate I can pay for her twice a year." For a brief season yesterday the gas was so attenuated that the faith ful little gas engine in the Astobiax office refused to work, and the old sweat power press had to be brought into requisition. The inconvenience was but temporary. The streets have been receiving a much needed cleaning. They say that the streets wear out faster when cleaned so eften: Maybe they do; but they look a heap better while they are wearing out, and they might as well wear out as rot out under a pile of muck. Smooth tongued folks are still go ing around asking folks to subscribe to some agency in Portland, or else where, alleging that goods of various description can thereby be purchased cheap, buch contracts are as uure liable as a contract -with the county commissioners to do the county pnnt- ing,and are as one-sided as the handle of a jug. About ten o'clock last night, some miscreant cut the head line of the steamer Gen. Canby, -which -was lying at her dock, and then tried to throw off her stern line, with the evident in tention of setting the boat adrift. Be fore he could succeed, he was scared away by some one approaching, so that the boat only swung around and was promptly made fast again. The telegraph line was down last Menday: So The Astorian' didn't have any dispatches: but the Pioneer did: betcherlife! a little thing like that doesn't stop the Pioneer. Yesterday morning it had a lot dated ''Nov. 25." Now as the line was down on that date the question naturally arises: "Where did our more or less esteemed contemporary get those "dispatches?'' Bucoda is the name of a town in Washington. The origin of its name is of a somewhat curious nature. However, it arises from civilized sources. It may puzzle some of the commentators when they endeavor to search for the origin. You might, says the Salem Statesman, search all the foreign languages in the world and still not be able to discover it. This is how it was christened: There were three great railroad men in that por tion of the country where the town is now and their names were Jiuckly, Coulter and Davis. Each of them wished the town to be named after himself. But they could not come to an agreement, and finally as a com promise, the two first letters from eaoh name were taken and placed to gether and thereby originated Bu-co-da.

The city council met for the first iime in a monui last evening. A communication was received from the chamber of commerce regarding the "Sailor boarding house act," ask ing the council to take definite action in the matter. The October report of auditor and police judge, and street superintend ent were read and referred. Liquor licenses wore granted H. B. Parker. Flink & Garbeck, O. C. Vir gin, C. J. Hendricksou, Sanderson fc Boir, and John McConnick. Regarding the "Sailor boarding house act," city attornej Koland read an opinion, in which he held that the act is unconstitutional and void. He said that that law passed by the last legislature, has the effect of amending the charter of Astoria by imposing new duties upon the city council, and also new and additional powers. It also creates a new office it enjoins upon the common council tho duty of providing pavment for such officer, and thus adds additional burdens to the taxpaj'ers of Astona. That act virtually amends the As toria charter and provides for the ap pointment of an additional police of ficer, and annuls section 135 of the charter. The act in question also amends section 38 of the charter, and makes compulsory on the council the an pointment of an officer, thus violating article IV, section 22 of the constitu tion of the state of Oregon. It also conflicts with section 20, article IV, of that organic law. The officer contemplated by the act is a state officer, not a municipal one, and the council would bo powerless to impose any duties outside of those set forth in the act The council of this city would have no power to appropriate money out of the city treasury to pay the officer his salary, for taxes can only be levied and collected for municipal purposes. In the case of the state vs. "Wright, et. aL, the Keady liquor law was held by the court to be unconstitutional on the same ground. So that, in the opininon of the citv attorney, section 7, of what is known as the "Sailor boarding house act," requiring the Astoria city council to appoint a harbor police, and provide for his compensation, is unconstitu tional and void. Tho opinion was received and tiled, and the clerk instructed to notifiy the chamber of commerce. f The committee to whom was re ferred tho work of Hill and Ma rion, H. A. Shorey aud Boss and "Wirt reported, accepting same: report adopted. An ordiuauce accepting the Wash ington street sower was passed under suspension of the rules. An ordinance to collect delinquent assessments on- Washington street sewer was passed under suspension of the rules. An ordinance authorizing George Flavel, Robert Carruthers, Sam Har ris, O. S. Wright, and F. D. Winton to build a cable road on Main street, southward, and granting them a fran chise to construct and maintain such a road on that street for fifty years, was read and referred to street com mittee. An ordinance to prevent the playing or bands on the street, which appeared to be decidedly sweeping in its pro visions, was lbst by a vote of 3 yeas to 2 nays. An ordinance providing for the im provement of West 6th street went through with a whoop, undtr suspen sion of the rules. An ordinance to collect delinquent assessments on the Washington street sewer improvement was passed, under suspension of the rales, and an ordi nance declaring the cost of the sewer on Main street was also passed in a similar manner. Ordinances extending the time for the improvement of Second street, and Washington street, were like wise passed under suspension of the rules. An ordinance authorizing the city to contract with J. G. Trullinger for the lighting of the city with 22 elec tric lights at $16 per month per light, was dragged out of the hole where it has been for many months. the dust wiped off it, and read first and second times. An ordinance authorizing the West ern Union Telegraph Company to put up poles in the streets and stretch wires thereon was read twice. Then the allowing of claims came up, and the following bills were al al eowed: Boss & Wirt, $1,152.77, S12.50; Hill & Marion, $150.91; Carruthers & Co., $87.48,810.81, $6.50; Sundry persons, S132; Robert Carruthers, $14; Astor house, $13.77; It. Martin, $105; Sun set Telephone Co., $3; W.W. Belcher, $5.50; H. B. Parker, S3, $2.50; West Shore Mills, $131.30; Wilson & Fisher, S49.71; Clatsop Mill Co., $28.89; Y. M. C. A., $1.30. Up to this juncture everything had run along as smooth as could be with the exception of a little hitch on the electric light ordinance, a motion to pass it under suspension of the rules having been defeated,, when an inno cent looking little resolution handed up by councilman Fox, stirred up a breeze in a minute. It was to the effect that the aud itor and police judge be author ized to give notice that there would bo an election on tho 11th of next month, for city officers; that the polls be for the first ward at the city hall, and for the second ward at Turk's building, and that the judges and clerks of election be as follews: In the first ward, G. C. Fulton, C. H. Stockton, and Thos. Boelling, judges, and the clerk, Ed. W. Wright; and in the second ward, the judges to be D. H. Welch, Robert Carruthers and B. Van Dusen, and the clerks, C. W. Stone and W. S. Kinney. As T. S. Jew'ett finished reading the resolution, councilman Bergman said it was an outrage, rose from his seat and hastened down stairs. Mayor Page called to him to return, and sent chief of police Barry after him. They both shortly returned, and council maif Bergman said "I want to be ex cused." "If there is no objection, you are excused." "Well." said council man Elbon, "I want to be excused, too." "You are excused, it you wish," said the mayor. "I object," said Councilmen Welch and Rebb: "You can go," said Mayor Page. He went, and joined Council man Bergman. "1 demand tuat a warrant be issued compelling the re turn of these councilmen," said Councilman Welch. The warrant was accordingly issued. In a short 'time they returned. Council Bergman said he wouldn't vote; that he considered it a shame and outrage; that the coun cil was equally divided, politically, and that the resolution was unfair; Coun cilman Elbon said he thought so too ; Councilman B ergman started to go down stairs, again: Chief of police Barry locked the door and put the key in his pocket There were a few more remarks of a cursory nature, and a vote was taken on the resolutien: Councilmen Fox, Rebb and Welch voted "aye," Councilmen Bergman and Elbon voted "no," Councilman Cleveland was absent. The mayor de clared the resolution had passed, and that the council stood, adjourned, till the next regular meeting. .STRAIGHTENING IT OPT. Corir cting an Injustice to Cleveland Rork well. On the 10th of last October The Astorian published the official report of Cleveland Rockwell to Professor T. C. Mendenhall, superintendent U. S. coast and geodetic survey, Washing ton, D. U., regarding the crossing or Young's bay by the bridge of the As toria and South Coast Railway com pany, and made editorial comment thereon, quoting from his report as received and published. One paragraph animadverted upon by this paper was as follews: I am unable to give the present depth of water in the channel, as developed by the survey I have just completed for the lack of time to make the sosndings. On tho 2nd of this month the editor of The Astorjax received a letter from Mr. Rockwell, stating that The ASToniAN' had incorrectly published his report, and that in that report, the words, "a plot of," were omitted after the word "make," in the above extract, so that it should have read "to make a plot of," etc. The report as received from Wash ington had been preserved in The As torian ofhee, as are all important communications, and upon compari son, The Astobian's printed report was found to be exactly correct. A copy furnished the Astoria and South Coast Rauway company, and another to the Astoria chamber of commerce, were found to be exactly as the one received in this office, and a reply was written to Mr. Cleveland so stating. All this is a lengthy but necessary preface to the statement that last eve ning the editor of The Astoriax re ceived from the U. S. coast and geo detic survey office at Washington, D. G, an affidavit from Miss Kate Lawn, the official stenographer, who under date of Nov. 15th, and under the seal and certificate of B. A. Colonna, sol emnly asserts that she made a mistake in copying Mr. Cleveland's report, and that the words "plot of were in his report as filed in that office, as claimed by him in his letter of Nov. 2. This statement is published as a simple act of justice to Mr. Rockwell, who was the victim of a grave mistake on the part of the Washington, D. C, copyist, and the episode illustrates two things: hrst. that a newspaper must always be able to prove what it says, as The Astorian was in this instance, and, second, that too much care cannot be exercised by copyists at Washington and elsewhere.

Anil Now Most Explaim Why He Made so Grave a Mistake. Yesterday afternoon constable John W. Welch went on board the British bark Kooringa to arrest a man charged with stealing clothes from the boarding house of Mrs. McCormack. On boarding the vessel, the mate, whose name is John Francis O'Connor, refused to allow the constable to take the man ashore, although he had a warrant for his arrest. The constable then came ashore and procured the assistance of sheriff H. A. Smith, and both went out to the vessel. On going alongside, the mate ordered them not to come on board. The sheriff told him who he was, and that he had better not have any trouble, that he had a war rant for the man's arrest. The mate replied that he did not care a conti nental damn; he coidd not come on board. Sheriff Smith then began to climb the ladder, when the mate pulled a large revolver and told him to get off the ship. Sheriff Smith kept advancing in the face of a revolver pointed at him and mauaged to reach the deck of the ship, where he placed the mate under ar-1 rest, on two charges of assault and I battery. When the constable wentf ashore to get assistance the man for whom he had a warrant had skipped. O'Conner is out on $600 bail to ap pear before Justice Mav this morning. If the charges are proved, the mate should be severely dealt with, as it is a very serions thing to interfere with a sheriff or constable in the discharge of his duties. A Railroader's Opinior. Col. Paul E. Mohr, the vice presi dent and chief engineer of the Lake Shore, Seattle & Eastern road, passed through the city yesterday ou his way from New York to Seattle. One of the objects of Col. Mohr's visit to tho east was to effect a consolidation of all the railroads, building and projected, north of the Columbia and west of the Cascade mountains, into one corpora tion. This corporation would offer liberal terms to all transcontinental and other roads for-hauling their cars over its system between Portland and Puget sound, aud would, in Col. Mohr's opiniou, be a paying invest ment Col. Mohr was very reticent in regard to the railroad situation in the state of Washington, but there seemed to be no doubt in his mind, but that all the roads now being built would be completed, although on ac count of the stringency of the money market in New York some delay will be encountered in raising the neces sary funds.
