There were thirty drummers iu the city, Saturday. Chinning mast have been cheap. It's a pity the tug AUoita wasn't given the mails to bring up. "We'd have had some now. The days are perceptibly lengthen ing, the afternoons, especially, being considerably brighter. Editor Flagg, of the Hillsboro Den ocrat, gives notice that he will move his paper to Forest Grove. A new addition was filed yesterday which is a subdivision of block 32 of Adairs by Eobb & Parker. Tho tide was unusually high yester day morning. Tho water was within two feet of the wharf floors.

Mrs. T. S. Jewett, has recovered from her indisposition, and will re sumo business in her dressmaking establishment to-morrow. Business is quiet among the tugs. Their time is mostly spent in hugging the wharves. If each one was a largo steamer tho town would be humming. A fair audience greeted the John S. Murphy Co., in "Kerry Gow" last night The shoeing of the horse was a unique scene on the stage, and was well done. Some cases of scarlet fever are re ported, one at tho old Union house, near the theater. La Grippe's back is about broken; a few are still suffer ing from it. There was a big real estate deal yesterday which i3 a good starter for February. The land sold was one half of Summit addition, and the sum given 820,000. Thoro will be a special meeting of tho city council to-morrow evening to discuss tho cablo road franchise and the proposed amendments td it, as published elsewhere.

Two milk boats crossing Young's bay were upset, but tho men got ashore all right A lot of lumber was also blown from the railroad bridge and carried ofT by the waves. G. B. Hegardt of Fort Stevens is a little discouraged by the delay in the jetty appropriation. Ho thinks, now that the political parties havo begun to fight in tho house, that the advauce bHl will havo trouble in getting through. Tho hospital has been doiug consid erable work during this season of sickness. There are five persons there with pneumonia, but the sisters think they will all recover.

"I think that was a timely sug gestion," said an old Astoriau yaster day, "regarding tho absence of candi dates from this section on both state tickets. I shall look to pee Mr. Case's name on tho next Republican ticket for state treasurer, and shouldn't be surprised if the Democrats nominated C. J. Trenchard for secretary of state." The owners of the lots recommend ed by the council committee for pur chase for fire department uses have given bonds for deeds, the one for S5.000, the other for 82,500. The lot near the Astoria Iron works will como handy for No One's, and the one near Peter Mattson's for the new fire com pany to bo organized for the protec tion of property in that part of the city.

"Advertise by the year," says an old experienced businessman. "It is cheaper "and yields a better return in proportion to the money invested. An advertisement should always be be fore the public in some shape. If it disappears it is soon forgotten and those that remain have the superiority and advantage of tho competitor.

The ordinance passed last Tuesday night by the city council, granting the Pacific Cable Construction company a "blanket franchise," has been the sub ject of considerable discussion. It is Mayor Crosby's intention to veto the ordinance as passed by the ceuncil: in his judgment there is not adequate provision for the city's inter est In this opinion he will find a large number of citizens to coincide. Believing as all progressive dwellers here do, that any and all enterprises of kiudred nature should be encour aged, with dne regard to mutual needs and requirements, the followiiicr two sections have been prepared. Section 11. Tho construction of tho railways herein provided for shall be commenced within ninety days from tho approval of this ordinance and shall bo completed, equipped and in actual oper ation within two years from the date of such approval; jyrotldcd, that that por tion commencing at the intersection of Water street (so called) running thence south along the center of "Washington street to Summit avenno, also commenc ing at the intersection of Main and Con comly streets, running thenco south along tho center of Main street to Sum mit avenue; also commencing at the western city limiton Court street, run ning thenco east along tho center of Court street to Wall strict, thenco cast on Wall street to Salmon street: alho commencing at the intersection of Wash ington street and Concomly streets in McCiure's Astoria, running thenco east on Concomly street to Main street shall ba completed, equipped and iu actual operation within ouo j-oar from tho date of such approval, and within one hun dred and twenty days from tho dato of such approval said Pacific Cable Con struction company shall have expended in tho actual construction of said cablo railroad tha sum of twenty thousand dollars, and if said amount bus not been acluall' expended beforo the expiration of ono hundred and twenty days, in tho actual construction of said railway, then this ordinance will bo void, and all lights herein granted shall bo thereby and thereuinm forfeited, and iu tlir.t etnt tho said Construction couipiiry hereby ngreo to relinquish any and all rights that it mny havo acquired under this ordinance, and whatever improvements it may have made shall bo thereby and thereupon vested iu the city of Astoria, and retained by it as settled and liqui dated damages. Sec. Failuro to comply with any of tho provisions of this ordinance, shall work a forfeiture of all tho franchises and privileges herein granted. Should the above bo incorporated into the ordinance, it wonld meet with the mayor's approval. The proposed amendment or addi tion places the company under more exact and definite limitation, and yet does not work hardship or restraint. Discomforts of Travel from the Kehalem. B. h. Wooden, the mail carrier between here and Jewell, arrived last night after a tiresome trip. He was accompanied by Messrs. Johnson, Ivagle, and Taylor. Snow is deep over that way, two feet in the Neha lem valley and four feet on the sum mit They started Friday morning on horseback. After going quite a distance the horses began to sink and every few steps would flounder around up to their bodies. All the men had business in the city, hence none could go back. They discovered a cabin finally, hired a boy to take the horses and return. They then proceeded on foot It was hard travelling even that way because the trail was narrow. Every few minutes they wonld get in up to their hips. Well tired out they reached another cabin, where, with only one blanket for fonr men, they passed the night rather uncomfort ably. Pushing on yesterday morning they got to the city in the evening, about as weary and wet as anybody could be. They report that the country over there has been covered with snow for several weeks. More Evcitcmcnt in Chinatown. Chiuatown was again in excitement yesterday. Tvo Chinese contractors had employed a number of men to work on the railroad. They paid their help in advance. This was a mistake. The celestial knows a good chance, so twelve of them decamped, jumping their contracts, with boodle in their pockets and camo to tho city. They were soon caught and kept in a room opposite the justice's court until ar rangements could le made to lake them back. The Oregon law in regard to killing wild game prohibits killing or taking, selling or having for sale, male deer or buck from November 1 to July 1 of the lollowing year, and females from January 1 to August 1. It ap plies to elk, moose, or mountain sheep from January 1 to August 1, and forbids killing these at any time merely for the skins or hams. The bird law covers waterfowl from Mny 1 to September 1; prairie chicken and sage hen, April 1 to June 15th; grouse, pheasants, quail and partridge, Janu ary 1 to July 15th; trapping any of these land birds is forbidden. A short lime ago one of tho South ern Pacific officials started from Port land for tho scene of tho blockade. He pushed on, aud was lost to sight but the Portland office supiosed ho was getting in work on raising the blockade. That he yielded to the iron inevitableness of the occasion and learned that patience alone could conquer, wjis ascertained by his re sponse to a telegram of inquiry from Portland as to how he was getting along, nere is his answer.

Bucker's popular restaurant has been enlarged and refitted through out in elegant stylo and w ill Ie thrown open to the public to-day. The res taurant has been divided into two parts, the main dining room and pri vate rooms for families aud parties. The main dining room has been en larged and has a seatiug capacity for 50 persons. Adjoining this are seven large and commodious rooms, fitted up in a ncit and artistic maimer for the accommodation of families and private parties, with n seating capacity for 50 persons making it the largest and liest npixiinted restaurant in the city. Two entrances from 3rd street have been put in ,one leading to the main dining room and the other lead ing to the private apartments for ladies, families and others desiring a quiet place. New furniture of the most modern style has been put in so that the restaurant now ranks as the lest and most conveniently arranged in the state. The dining rooms aud kitchen are in charge of first class and experienced persons, and the facilities for furnishing dinners for families or parlies are superior to any other res taurant These changes were made necessary on account of the fast in creasing business of this popnlar and fashionable resort The well known reputation of Bucker's restaurant for the best meals in the city is too well known to require commont A cor dial invitation is extended, to the pub lic, to the grand opening this after noon. A chicken dinner will be served from 4 o'clock to 7:30 o'clock. A Catalogue of Preferred Papers. Geo. P. Bowel 1 Sz Co. have issued the "American Newspaper Directory" for twenty-two years. They now ail vise their advertising patrons that it will always be well to confine adver tisement orders to papers selected from their Catalogue of Preferred Papers. The population of every place where a newspaiier is published is stated in this catalogue; county seats are desig nated, and the circulation rating ac corded to every paper by the last issue of the American Newspaper Directory is given. Out of the seventeen thou sand papers named in the Directory, only about two thousand arc selected; or these only eight -are issued in the state of Oregou, and among these it is, perhaps not necessary to add, Tin: Astoriax is given the prominence to which its merits entitle it - This Rnail Sloans Itiisinr-.

Suits Hruught Yr-tonl.iy. Two new suits were filed in the county clerk's office, yesterday. In the first one John Tobin has brought suit against sheriff Smith. He claims that on the 2Gth of January, 1890, the sheriff compelled him to go to the county jail without sufficient cause, and that he was unjustly held in pris on. For this he asks S5,000 damages. He employed an attorney to secure his release by writ or habeas corpus granted bv Hon. F. J. Taylor. For attorney's fees he paid $150; hence he sues for S5,150. The second was a snit by John Fnnge against Sophia Dag gett, et al. for SI, 737. It is what he claims is due him for a lien on the new three-story building leing erected on lot 14, block G5, McClnro's. Atoria and Salcm- Railroad Connection. Astoria has a greater interest iu a connection with Salem, in the heart of the richest agricultural region or America, than it has with Portland, because Astoria by all indications will become a greater port of entry than Portland. The latter city, with ils great capital and railroad interests, ha3 never had any love for a possible rival lo its shipping and commerce. The geographical aud business situa tion of this state is such that a road must ultimately be built from eastern Oregou to Astoria via Salem. Salem Journal. Work Goins; lthrht Ahead.

Oregon Mist. Ah Appreciated Conplineat. Astoria is displaying more real busi ness life than any of the Oregon towns, except Portland. Situated at the mouth of tho great river of the west, with railroad communication or with obstructions removed in the Columbia, she undoubtedly is the great seaport of Oregon.
