To mt ?Q8tor in the cast the large 50 Jbt lot aoopieti inisany tcmieon the Pacilc slope gives the impression ifoat the town is not oulj a village but intend to be a village )erma nontly; when iTery structure can have its garden about it. and where space will lmve Iwit little vnlne. The indifibroitoe io amounts and acres of land imjtiied by it is a confession of the oiUsous Uicmaelves that their town has l&ie pr misc of being a comjiactly ImiH city. But apart from this feature, there art- xl common Reuse reasons wtorihe S Viot lot shoald be the trmdnnl. The limit i.f width of the ordinary structure, oxlnsrre of the buildings of nuusiullx wealthy firms or resi dent, i- 2. foe; or thereabouts in all otnitac!l bnih ci'ie.

To adopt f9ftxtliN moans flint for all time decdh innl ref-r lo halves of lob, "with t otil r.dtiitiotial trouble, bat dan ger of error needlessly added. On the other lu:nd it is just as easy for a pre-y-ert p.irchn-er who wishes ."50 feet width to btr. two lots. Not only can tit' -mailer investor be aocommodaled.

In the Scat idvt; they are much more 5"re inont as tin-re are more large rivers omiiyiMg into the sea and ihe indenta tions m the coast are numerous. Few of fihom an what wonul be called Iwrrod harbors. If there are bars they do not shift muck and the wa ter is always very deep even over there. Thero is a reason for this con dition, or freedom from serious ob structions. Tlie mountains in the cast ane not near the sea board. Near ly nil of the rivers that cmjity directly into the ocean flow through long ar'.ias of comparatively level country and do not take the sand and debris along with them that the. wouhi, were they moun tain streams. Then the country has Ixsan so long settled aad cleared thai the amount of bnrjdus material in the form of drift wood and otner refuse matter is very small. Considering then how little ha leen done to im prove on nature in our western har bors, while millions have lieen spent in the cast with not so many obstacles as hare, certainly every effort should be made to gain and ue appropria tions well for aiding navahion Yaqnina BayV ISanril of TnWIe. The influence f a lioard of trade or chamber or commerce is alwavs great, if properly sustained. Astoria is for tunate in liMvinr a IkkIv of men classed under tlielaiier name, who have the best interests of the citv at heart. At the last meeting of this eitv's cham ber, a communication was read from the newly formed loard of trade alapape Ihe fall of the limb scattered laqnina liny, a gentleman who lias iust come from that enterprising nlaee. was seen vestenlsy by a reporter. He slid that the lioard of trade had in fascd new life into the town and was advertising it extensively. They have cnl letters to congress which have been favorably received, while before it has been almost impos sible to gain any recognition. Harbor lights are soon to be located as a re sult of iheir agitation, and a strong effort is being mode to dredge the bay so that vessels of deeper draught can cotne there. Ynquiua bay. he said, is iioh interested in Astoria's progress d the improvements at the month of the Colnmbia. There is a chance for a large coastwise Irade for Astoria, when slie lecomes a large shipping and wholesale centre, with lhee grow wg towns on bays np and down the shore to call upon her for their sup plies.

Fourlimber men started a week ago last Saturday to go to their claims eighteen or twenty miles above Brownsville, says the Albany Herald. They came very near perishing in the snow, which was eight feet deep. Luckily they found a cabin, where they slaved over night, without food. They arrved at their camp next morn ing. Last Sunday they ventured forth again. There was still live feet of snow when they came out Last Monday morning, Vancou ver people were treated to the sight of a genuine volcano in active erup tion. A loud report was heard in the south, as of a peal of distant thunder. Later llamas were seen issuing from the iK'uk or Mt. Jefferson, which is in the Cascade range, about 80 miles southeast of Salem. Oregon. Tho llamcs were followed by clouds of black smoke, which rose high above the mountain and drifted away. It was a grand sight. The prisoners in the Lane county jail, six in number, cut their way out Jast Tuesday night. They secured a saw and after sawing a piece off tho the lining pushed out a stone, which made a hole in the wall large enough For them to erecp through. So far their whereabouts remains unknown. Bead, the limber land swindler, was probably the most important criminal, the other live were all candidates for the Salem penitentiary for various offenses, which the next grand jury was to investigate. "W. Nelson, of the stale of "Wash ington, some time since sold a hy draulic mine in Baker country to the Nelson Mining company of Oakland, California, through S. W. Blaisdell, a managing agent, for $300,000, and was paid $'35,000 in cash and took mort casres. He bemui suit hi the United States circuit court against Blaisdell, ' the Nelson Mining Companv and I others to restrain Blaisdell from en forcing a decree of foreclosure ob tained upon a $o0,000 note and mort gage, which Nelson alleges was un lawfully in his possession, and which he transferred to his cousin for the purpose of bringing about a forced sale of the mine in order that he might gel a title to the property cov ered by the mortgage. Nelson also seeks to lestrain their judgment, which he claims Aas obtained col lusively with the intent ot defrauding him out of a balance or S265,000 due him. The dead body of a tramp, burned and mangled, av;is found beside the narrow gauge track, near Aumsville, in Marion county, recently. A coro ner s jury, after hearing the testimony o the witnesses and viewing the re mains, returned a verdict declaring the body before them to be that of a man perhaps sixty years of age, and to them unknown, there having been nothing by which to establish identity. They thought it was the body of a tramp, and that he had met death while sleeping besido his camp fire. During the night a wind arose and a large limb of the tree under which ho was lying was Mown to the ground. I its butt end struck lnni squarely on the head, mashing it as flat as a board and spreading it over considerable me nrc wnicn coramunicaieu to me dead man's blanket and then to his clothing and the leaves that formed his bed. ct.t:at: tour rAcr i It is now known that a plm. 3ly slid is not tli result ot blood disease, but is caused by impaired digestion, for which they now give vegetable cor. rectives instead of minerals.
