It seems there is something of a hitch about the appropriation in con gress for immediate prosecution of work on the jetty at the month of the river. Congressman Hermann in the house succeeded in getting a special emergency appropriation of -$75,000, passed by the house of representative6 last Tuesday. This went to the sen ate and ras not concurred in. Then Senator Dolph introduced a resolution into the senate, making an appropri ation of S500,000. This passed the senate last Thursday and now goes back to the house for concur rence. It is not likely that the house will agree to it To our way of think ing it would have been better to have had the senate pass a bill concurring with the one already passed by the house; that is, appropriating S7o,000. Then all that would be required would be the president's signature to make it a law, and the $73,000 would be immediately available. Half a loaf is better than no bread. As it is now, there is no money for present needs. Senator Dolph says that $75,000 would not be an adequate sum to even justify the resumption of the work at the mouth of the river, as it would be entirely inadequate for the continuation of the work until the passage of the river and harbor bill, and he will contend in the conference committee for a sufficiently increased appropriation to enable the work to be continued until the passage of the general bill. If the conference com mittee will agree, and the houso of representatives would pass the half million appropriation bill it would be a grand thing, but it will be difficult to get 103 members to agree to the proposition. It looks as if one of the two bills now before congress for the transfer of the revenue marine service from the treasury department to the navy would become a law. Secretary "Windom has written a letter to the house com mittee having one of these bills in charge, indicating that ho favored the plan. It is also understood that sec retary Tracy has assented to the trans fer, and that opinions obtained from some of the higher officers of the ser vice show that they favor the change. This unanimity of opinion is the sur est influence in behalf of the proposi tion, as heretofore the antagonistic at titude of various secretaries of the cabinet has been the only obstacle. Some day in tho future Astoria will want a new public building. This suggests this consideratien: The ex treme west will be obliged to make a hard fight for congressional appropri ation. Tho growth of largo towns has been phenomenal. As yet our repre sentation at Washington is small in numbers. Only the combined pur poses of the whole section can ac complish the end. Counting tho two Dakotas, Montana, Washington and Oregon, there are fifteen growing cities that want public buildings. Tho cast must be impressed with the fact that our needs are great and that it is time wo had more of Uncle Sam's pie. At a recent ball at St. Petersburg, a lady iersonaled Miss Gnppe. Hcr toilet on this occasion is described as an Oriental costume, whose high head dress bore upon it the names of the physicians who have written on the sickness and the chemists who have largely profited by it Her dress was a map of Europe, with the infected districts marked and colored in vari ous tints, so as to show the progress of the malady. One of the most prominent club3 in St Petersburg, it is said, composed of nobles entirely, voted the lady a substantial prize as having designed an original and striking costume. The joung people are too quiet in Astoria, During the winter months social activity should prevail. It is this genial, jolly, happy feature of life which does all good, The city is large enough, the individuals sufficiently numerous, to originate and sustain some social movement Where are the leaders among our young ladies and gentlemen? Let them come to the front and pnt in practice a whole some idea. "FucKEBTAiTiS' is the new name for the people of North Dakota. Mean ing that the '"Badgers" of Wisconsin, the "Suckers'' of Illinois, the "Hoos icre" of Indiana, should not bo ahead, the legislature voted to use this cog nomen. It is a term for the gophers which arc so numerous in that state. "Blizzardites" would not come far amiss if they want something remark ablv characteristic. Spokane is fortunate. She is situ ated just right Tacoma and Seattle are continually fighting. They always will snap and bite at each other. Spokane is independent and can do rr U ber surplus -wind to booming herself. She bothers herself over no Bear rival. Astoria is likewise situ ated arid must devote all her energies to her own growth. ' WaIiKEbBiaine was an able man. The fact that he was the son of his father, as the term goes, could not keep people from recognizing his ability. He was the brightest of the toys, but the first to pass from active life. - - Ax eastern Oregon editor says that keepeotetogo to heaven when he its. He will doubtless find such s of location desirable. CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. News items from fll Oyerthe Nora west Coast, riTUYl'EltTLKKXTI'.UlA Git A 1'IIS Pendleton has got two cases of small pox.

A man representing $250,000,000 of English capital is trying to buy the large lumber plants of Puget Sound. It is estimated that there are 2,500 unemployed sailors up and down the coast owing to dullness of the mari tiue business. The Marquam grand opera houso will be opened at Portland February 3rd, marking arnew era of dramatic progress in Oregon. On last Saturday Bert Eober, of H waco, shot and killed a large Ameri can eagle. The bird measured ten feet from tip to tip. According to the Post Intelligencer, says the Ledger, 1,832 new buildings were erected in Seattle during the last night of the year. The salary of the governor of Mon tana is to be $5,000 a year. This is a contrast to the paltry amount Oregon pays her chief executive. The Commercial Bank of Oregon City, is about to commence busi ness. D. C. Latourette is president and Frank Donaldson cashier. The Mechanic's Mill company, of Seattle arc boring for artesian water in the mud flats. They expect to strike fresh water at a depth of 150 feet The Buckley Lumber and Shingle company, of Buckley, Pierce county, Washington, is insolvent They owe about $10,000 and have $50,000 worth of property. The large steamer, the City of Kingston had reached Valparaiso the 18th. She will be the finest boat in the Sound, where she is expected about the 20th or February. The Northern Pacific is about to build a railroad from Seattle to the international boundary line and Bol lingham bay and ship's harbor, a dis tance of one hundred miles. Tho "Union Pacific is experiencing great trouble in getting engineers to do the work on the road. There have been upwards of a dozen killed on the Portlaud-Huntiugton division. The snow in Nevada has reached a depth of four feet on the stock ranges. It is predicted that moro than one half of tho stock will perish. It is tho hardest winter for many years. S. P. Marsh had ninety one sacks of potatoes frozen at the Elokomin laud ing during the recent cold snap, owirnr to the non arriv.il of a steamer that was chartered to take them to this city. A correspondent of tho Baker City Democrat says. "The immigration committee has been disorganized and the board of trade has not life enough to get out on a cold night and pay their honest debts." Tho Big Bend country must bo n paradise for hunters. Thomas Paslay went hunting with some other hunters in the Big Bend recently, and tho party killed thirty-six deer and four goats in about a week. Charles C. Trescott of Portland, tho largest exporter of sturgeon on tho coast, is preparing a bill to bo pres ented to the legislatures of Oregon and Washington, for tho protection of and propagation of sturgeon. The steamer Annie, belonging to F. M. Warren, lying in wiuter quar ters at Wallace's Island, has been found to have sprung a leak and sank and is now lying in tho slough with the top of her smokestack out of water. She can be successfully raised. The real estato men are sailing around in boats, in Fairhaven, search ing for corner lots with a ten-foot polo to sell to the unsuspocting investors at $1,000 each. That part of tho country contains notliing but real es tate men, saloons and "boom," and ''suckers" appear to be plenty, while a large number of dwellings are being erected. So says the East Oregon ian. An Ellensburgh paper says snow on the mouulain ranges and in tho valley of the Columbia is reported deeper than for many years past, and cattle nro dvincr bv the ImndrnrlH- Th cimw in the Big Bend is two feet deep, and on the mountains from three to six feet About 3,000 head of cattle are still on the rancre: tho sti-mms jito fm. zen over; there is nothing for them to eat, auu unless they are rounded up and driven out every one of them will die. The senate has passed a bill grant ing to the state of Oregon townships 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 south, in ranges 5 and C, cast of the Willamette merid ian, for a public park. This location of a pronoscd public park takes in a part of Doth Douglas and Klamath counties, including the wonderful and sightly Crater lake. The center of the park will be fifty miles east of Bose burg and the same distance north of Linkville, and will be thirty miles north and south by twelve miles east and west Henry Newburg of Skamokawa, lost a young calf recently under very peculiar circumstances. He noticed that the calf was getting perceptibly weaker, day by day, until at last it was unable to stand up at all. How to account for its strange condition he did not know, as the calf was perfectly healthy until attacked by this disease. One day he noticed some skunk tracks around tho barn and made up his mind that the skunks were gaining admittance to the barn and sucking the calfs blood. In this he was cor rect and a couplo of days after he caught two of them in a trap. On making an examination of the calf he found where the skunks had been sucking the blood from the calf, which afterwards died. The Oregon Land Co. x. HAS AN ASTORTA'OFBTOE S. W. COR.
