() SJhc gnttjj gforan. ASTOKIA. OREGON : THUltSDAY. .FEBRUAltY 13 180 City and Coiinlj- Official Iapcr. Debt snow has ircvailel in many quarters in western Oregon, but only IS inches was reported on the Sheri dan pass. The editor of the Wallula paper an nounced the suspension ot his jiaper one day last week. The next day his wife committed suicide. Chinese help is notably scarce in private families in this city at present Time was when a good many Chinese were employed, as cooks :md domes tics, bnt now they are few in number. Kate Field's Wasltinyton is re ceived, a spicy journal edited by a sprightly lady. The current number has a good article: ''Oregon to the Front."' a presumed talk with Senator Dolph, in which the webfoot state gets a page of interest. Tiie veteran journalist, Eraslus Brooks, says that he has seen 120 daily newspapers established in New York, and of the?c only six are now in existence. lie estimates that $23, 000,000 has been sunk during that time upon daily newspapers. aIost of the papers read at the meetings of country editors are great ly like the essays read at school com mencements. They are rhetorical, but not profound; entertaining, but not instructive; they occasion talk, but do not iutlnence conduct; are warmly praised, bnt speedily forgotten. Tiieee was a time within the mem ory of the present generation when old newspapers sold for as much as eight cents a iound. They are now quoted at C5 cents a hundred weight. This decline in price may be traced to wood pulp, which is cheap and suita ble for the manufacture of the lower grades of paper. Immigration will ilood in upon the northwest in the coming spring and summer. Perhaps the best indications of this influx is the fact that the North ern Pacific will run two trains daily between St Paul and "Washington points during this season. What num bers are not absorbed in Spokane, Ta coma, and other like cities, we hope to see in Astoria. Tiie emperor of Austria is rapidly growing feeble. He talks of abdicat ing at once and going to a monastery. It is now known that the young bar oness, in whose houe Prince Rudolph was found dead, is the illegitimate child of the cniperor. Shame for this drove the prince to suicide, made the em press attempt to take her own life and is now driving emperor Joseph to a monastery. A special train with 1000 negro em igrants on board, has arrived at Birm ingham, Alabama, over the Georgia Central railroad. The negroes arc en route from South Carolina to Louisiana and Texas. They are packed into cars like sardines hi a box. None of them seem to know where they are going or what they would do when they reached their destination. They seemed to trust everything to the agents who had them in charge. GovEHN-on Ferht of Washington is an able man. The state could hardly have made a better selection for its chief magistrate. The legislature, however, is a thorn in his side. He stands in relation to it much like a broad-minded father to a willful child. He recommended the best kind of a policy for the assembly to adopt, bnt they have gone on in a way of their own, mysterious and even laughable. If they would follow the example of the wise, conservative man at the head of their state they would deserve praise from all. Yesterday's Colu m b ia n devoted a column to an elaborate discuss ion of a typographical error in s omc statis tics in Tun Morning Astorian of the day previous. Meanwhile TnE Morn -rxa Astorian of yesterday scooped the Columbian on the city council proceedings. The Morning Astorian had its usual full account or the do lags of our local legislature. Not a le appeared in the Columbian about the council's transactions. But the actions or transactions of the city coKBcil of Astoria are of little consc- qsence to the Columbian. The decline of the lumbering busi ness in Michigan is in nothing mgrc strikingly shown than in published tables of the output over a number of years from several important rivers. Ia 1867 the output of the Rifle river, oe of the streams emptying into the Sagiaaw bay, says a paper devoted to the lamber interests, was 23,911,547 feet In 18S2 the output had rises to 115,S92,000 feet, the highest figure reached, while for 1899 the output was but 33, 82,651 feet the smallest for more 13mb twenty years. During the twen ty-two years of which a record has kept 1,616,794,021 feet of logs ! rwa out of the river. Almost as nrriUnf: a story is told on the An Gtcb rirer. which drains much the mm territory. Between 1866 and the logs cut on the stream ag- 118,000,000 feet This amount ly increased until 1880, when Ah n was 95,719,614. feet It stayed tAHt figure, or thereabouts, up to MM. St&cc then there has been a aMttly decline until last year's cut M miy 23,000, although the total cut ft Ike rirer since 1866 had reached figure of 1,715,255,716 (ftfcPitcfeertCastirij Out of Jhe Fire Tormented neith Salt RJicuni Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, Only those who havo suffered from salt rheum in Its worst form know the agonies caused by this disease. Hood's Sarsapa rilla has had great success In curing salt rheum, and all affections of the blood. " I owe the gratitude to Hood's Sarsapa rilla that one would to his rescuer from a Burning BuildingSnVX with salt rheum, and had to leave off work altogether. My face, about the eyes, would he swollen and scabbed, my hands and a part of my body would be raw sores lor weeks at a time, my flesh would seem so rotted that I could roll pieces from between my fingers as largo as a pea. One Physician called it type Prkiern and gave me medicine accord- UlOUII ingly; but salt rheum cannot be cured in that way. Finally 1 bought a bottle or Hood's Sarsaparilla. It helped mo so much that I took two more bottles, and was Entirely Cured tiS-S with salt rheum since. I also used Hood's Olive Ointment on tho places affected. It stops tiie burning and itching sensation im mediately. I will recommend Hood's Sar saparilla not only for salt rheum, but for 55 Loss of Appetite 'all-gone feeling so -often experienced." A. D.

Late ronnrfs from the western part of the county are to the effect that the homes of many of the settlers alone tho Sin- slaw and Wild Cat rivers were swept away during the late ilood. The county bridge on Lake Creek went down, and a young man named Turner was drowned. The aggregate loss to the county tobridges swept away will reacn over sou,uuu. lhe mail carrier from Flnrnnpo brings word that a landslide from one of the bluffs of the Siuslaw river, near the head of the tide, last week buried the residence of O.

A TIGOKOUS KICIT. "V. A. Merchant's "Wife tho Bono or Conferi) tion A IVcnuncIatf In. A well known merchant who has been greatly benefitted by Joy's Vegetable Sarea parilla, desired to give it to his wife, who was very delicate, but out of caution first consulted his physician, Dr. W. IL Grkwold of S50 Market street Tho doctor, who is one of our leading practitioners objected, saying he had never seen a Earsaparilla that did not contain potash, which thinned tho blood; that his patient did not havo any vitality to lose, and hat what delicate people need is not decreased vitality, but more blood. Ho however consented when assured that Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla was opposed to tho blood thinning idea of other sarsaparlllas, and that on tho contrary by specific vegeta ble alteratives It promoted digestion, and re paired nutrition, hence created new blood and was tho very thing for feeble people rho above explains tho many cases In which aged, dclicato and run down people, havo been buiu up by Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla liter the potash sarsaparilias failed.
