some in through pouches.
Chief engineer Stockton was busy
yesterday putting the fire alarm tele

This wetness is hefty. A rainfall of
an inch, means a weight of one hun
dred tons to the acre. Dnruig Jan
nary there fell in this city, 12.G4 inches
of rain, or 252,800,000 pounds of rain
on each acre of the city's area.
What is the matter with that fancy
dress ball that was to occur on "Wash

One of the soldiers atFortCanby
was taken to Vancouver Sunday night,
in charge of two non-commissioned
tkflicers to Ik? tried by court martial.
He had sevend-times refused to work,
and was considered generally worth
lss. Late last Saturday night the boom
at Weidler's mill at Portland gave
way, and about $40,000 worth of logs
went whirling down the mad 'Willam
ette. Futile attempts were made to
save them, but they will prove an al
most total loss.
The cargo of the State was a mis
cellaneous one containing as many
provisions as usual. Every boat seems
to bring something for the Iron
Works. Yesterday the tubes came for
the boiler they are making for
tbe Electric Light Co.
Capt Ackley has a good opinion of
newspaper men. When asked if
there was anybody of tpecial promi
nence or importance on the State, the
geoia! captain replied, ''Yes, sir; there
were two reporters of the Examiner.
Tfcey are special aren't they?"
Geologists of the future will be puz
zled over tbe substrata of Astoria's
rtreets. Deposits from all parts of
tke world are brought here in the
holds of vessels and spread on the
streets, and the Azoic Eocene, Silur
ian, Paleozoic and old red sandstone
periods are hopelessly mixed.
John Panpin was drowned at the
Elohomin, near Cathlamet, last Satur
day noon. The body was recovered
yesterday. He was working for L.
Soldern and while clearing away drift
in the dam, fell in and went through
the gate. He was aged 28 years; the
funeral will take place to-morrow.
Some gentlemen from Walla Walla
have been in town looking for real
estate. They say the interest in As
toria through that, section is increas
ing and investors are looking here
instead of to Seattle and Tacoma.
They think Astoria is to be a better
seaport for them than the Sound
cities, aud hope to see better railroad
facilities in the near future.
Even a dog's life must be saved.
Yesterday at about ten o'clock a big
crowd gathered across the street from
the Central, hotel. A report had
spread that a valuable pup had fallen
through a hole in the floor of the ho
tel. A large dog was secured to swim
under to the rescue, but after starting
he would come back. That method
wouldn't do, the poor unfortunate
must be saved. At last it was found
that the little dog was sitting on a
beam underneath the building. The
boards of the flooring were raised aud
the animal rescued.
Tho passengers on the Slate yester
day were a tired looking crowd, on
their arrival here, and few escaped
sickness. Most of them had just en-
jul-u men- iirsi, meai since leaving
San Francisco, on getting into the
smooth valors of the placid bay. One
bright looking young lady remarked
to the reperter: "It was awfully
rough and the steamer rolled dread
fully. But I had so much fun. 1
wasn't sick a bit and all my friends
were, so I was doctor, nurse, and man
ager. The saloon looked like a hospi
tal all the big, weak-hearted men
were lying down in it"

A Neat Little Job to Corral Ohp Hundred

On the steamer State of California
yesterday came Jos. G. Stetson, to

Fird'k Win dc. The Tragedian.
Fred Warde opened his engage
ment at the Grand opera house last
night in his new version of an old
play, "Uelphagor," which he calls "The
Mountebank." It is needless to say
that he was excellent in the tragic
passages, lie has shown his jxnver '
in such work so often that he has an
acknowledged place among the best !
iragcuians ol our nay. it was m tin
earlier portionslof -'The Mountebank,''
however, that Mr. Warde proved how
accomplished he was as a comedian
as well as tragedian. There t is a
marked strain of domestic feeling
throughout the earlier scenes of "The
Mountebank," wherein Mr. Warde
seems to be thoroughly at home.
The story is a simple one. A strol
ling player, Belphcgor, is married to
a woman who, unknown to him, is his

KlitiStng. fc0 Gold Pieces Away.
In flush bonanza times in San Fran
cisco two sudden millionaires got
bragging one day about their prodi
gality, and at last, on a reckless bet,
the two adjourned to the bay front,
accompanied by a laughing crowd.
Side by side they stood and began
flinging $20 gold pieces into the
water, till at last one weakened, his
saving propensities rebelling against
such reckless flinging away of wealth.
It sometimes happens that a man
who has suddenly secured a few S'20
gold pieces is willing to fling them
into the water, and it occasionally oc
curs that another man who has ac
quired a few of those yellow discs
more slowly will stay with him, and
not be the first to call a stop, either.
llii;li Water in Portland.
The raius have swollen the Willam
ottc and small streams in the vicinity
of Portland to such a degree that se
rious inconvenience is felt The Tan
ner sewer is raging at B street, and
at last accounts a house was afloat
;md circling in the eddying Hood.
Along the city front tho water is
above the lower floors of the wharves,
and unless the muddy enrrent soon
subsides serious damage will result.

Tho chamber of commerce met in
regular session last evening.
The committee of one on soap fac
tory reported, and was given further
time.
The chairman of the committee on
incorporation and site, reported, and
was granted further time.
The committee on adjacent stream

follews:
Astoria, Or., Jan. 27th, 1890.
To The President and Member of
the Astoria Chamber of Com
merce, Astoria, Oregon.
GExriiEMEx: We, your committee,
to whom was referred the matter of
investif ating the necessity, and man
ner, of improving the various rivers
and bays tributary to Astoria, Oregon,
would respectfully reiort that we find
the country along the south bank of
tho Columbia river, to Wood's lauding
in Columbia county, Oregon, rapidly,
filling up, aud requiring letter trans
portation facilities for the settlers, in
securing supplies and marketing their
products. At present only small
boats of from ten to thirty tons bur
den can, with safety, navigate the
Swenson channel, Blind and West
port sloughs on account of numerous
snags and obstructions along this
route. We have, therefore, consulted
with pilots, and masters, or various J
steamers, and from their detailed
statements herewith, we have esti-j
mated the cost of removing the van- j
ous obstructions; and have based the
same upon the supposition that the l
cost of operating the U. S. '
Eugineers' snag boat, now at
Portland, Or., will not exceed fifty
dollars per day. A liberal allowance J
has been made for explosives and the j
time occupied in waiting for tides,
etc '
The same findings, refer to the im- J
provemsnt of the Lewis and Clarke's
river, Oregon, and to Gray's river,
Washington, a detailed statement of I
the cost of removing the various ob- j
structions on each, is also submitted
herewith.
The improvement of the John Day's
and Wnlluski rivers in Oregon, and '
JDecp river in Washington, are not so ,
j imperative as the fonner, navigation ,
on these rivers being passably good at j
wit iiiocuu "uit.
We, therefore, recommend that the
president of this chamber, in person,
or by committee, confer with Maj. T.
H. Uandbury, TJ. S. Engineers, Port
land, Oregon, in regard to this matter.

The following regarding Gray's
river, was also read and filed:
Grw's Biver, Jan. 15, 1S90.
To the Chamlxr of Commerce, Asto
ria :
Gentlemen:
Bv request T give you a .statement i
of tho productions of this valley. Our
produce that is not consumed at hand
is shipped to and sold in Astoria. All
our supplies are purchased iu Astoria,
and shipped back to and up Gray's
river, the river being our main high
way. This river like all rivers in the state
of Washington, on the lower Colum
bia, has a rioc aud fall of from 5 to 8
feet tide, and like all rivers running
through a timber country .obstructed
more or less by large trees caving in
from the sides, aud their roots. This
causes the channel to till up on the
upper side and the stream becomes
shallow in places.
If the snags were removed there is
enough water in this river to cut itout
deep and it would be one of tho finest
rivers or its size in the country.
There are at present two steamboats
running two trips each per week, be
sides various other ImkiIs, such as wood
scows and aiilingcnift
But on acouut of the olwtructions
to navigation it is very ditlicult to get
our cord wood, stave bolt", and hay
shipicd to Astoria, as the boating has to
be done at high tide.
Wo fanners pay the same freight
from here, 24 miles, to Astoria, that
the O. 11. & N. Co., charge from Port
land to Astoria, 100 miles.
The following is a part of the pro
ductions of this vallev for the vear
1SS9:
Hay, L',000 tons $ .JO,000
Potatoes, :5,000 wicks :J,000
Uulter, 10 tons ft.OOO
Cattle, 400 head 12.0D0
Cordwood, 2,000 cords .',CO0
Stnve bolts, 1000 cords 0,000
SUiusles, 2TA M r.,000
Snwlogs, 19,000,000 feet 114,400
Making at low figures 180,000
The same amount, or nearly so, is
shipped in here, consisting of supplies
for logging camps, family groceries,
mill feed, and lumber for building,
and yet not one acre or our tillable
land in ten is in cultivation, and our
vast forests of limber have hardly
been touched as yet.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted. Samuel Walkeiu
Tho report gave rise to considerable
discussion, the sentiment favoring the
adoption of the suggestion, which was
done, and a voto of thanlcs extend

yard was referred to W. H. Smith.

HEEU & COOH,
THE CAPTAIN WAS A COWARD.
Farther Delay In Securing JIneh Needed
Mail.
The United States revenue cutter
Jiush, which sailed from San Fran
cisco for Portland Tuesday, .with mails
has tfono to Tacoma. The mails will
be bronght by rail over tlie Northern
Pacific, and were expected to arrive in
Portland at 730 3'esterday morning.
It Beems very singular says the Ore
gonian, to say the least, that the
Rush did not come to Portland- her
destination with tho delayed mails,
instead of proceeding to Tacoma.
The pretext given, that the cutter
could not cros3 the Columbia river
bar on the account of its being too
rough, appears to bo a very flimsy
one. By consulting the shipping re
ports, it is ascertained that Wednes
day the steamship Santa llosa crossed
in; Thursday the Alliance and Will
amette passed out to sea; Friday the
tug Astoria came in, aud the steamer
ZacJcme passed out.
It is very probable that the liusli
did not come within sight of the Co
lumbia river. The tug Astoria that
left San Francisco after tho Jiush,
came up and entered the river with
out delay, but did not see tho Rush
on the trip. Vessels have been pass
ing in and out of tho Columbia prac
tically without interruption, and
there appears to be no good reason
why tho RusJi could not have come
iu.
