The antlers of about 250 elk were
shipped from the Columbia river to
England last year. There are pro
bably a thousand elk killed in Oregon
and Washington every year. The
antlers are in demand in England .as
ornaments for the old baronial halls,
and very handsome they look when
furnished with a silver plate inscribed
with the date on which they were
killed by the prond owners. Some
handsome antlers bring a large price,
while others do not bring enough to
pay freight.

The people of Gray's harbor are cer
tain of one railroad. The Hunt railroad
is referred to, and the assurance of the
expectant people rest upon tho contract
entered into by G. W. Hunt, the well
known railroad builder, to construct
and operate a line to the harbor from
"some point on the Northern Pacific."
A bonus, aggregating in money and
lands to the enormous sum of $1,200,
000 or more, has been subscribed, and
will bo assigned to Mr. Hunt when
the track is laid. The "point on the
Northern Pacific" is Centralia, which
donates $100,000 for the railroad and
its jnnction with the Northern Pacific
The route lias practically tho entire
distance on the north side of the Che

towns of Montesano, Aberdeen and

THE LATE J. F. WARREN'.
His I'linefal Sorviro at Knappa on Sunday.
At 10:30 o'clock last S unday morn
ing a number of relatives and friends
assembled at Wilson & Fisher's wharf
to take the steamer Electric, which
had been provided by the Pioneer and
Historical society for Knappa, to at
tend the funeral of tho late J. F. War
ren, of that place. Tho boat left As
toria at 10:50, and arrived at Knappa
at 11:50.
Union hall, which had been draped
with evergreens, was well filled with
the friends and neighbors of the
deceased when tho funeral cortege
arrived. The beautiful rosewood
casket, containing all that was mortal
of Mr. Warren, was placed near tho
center and at the farther end of tho
hall, at the left was a table, on which
was a large and beautifnl bouquet of
Howers, furnished by kind aud loving
hands. To the right were seated the
members of the choir.
Dr. Garner conducted the services,
and delivered an excellent and elo
quent address, and eulogy of the
departed. The choir sang sweetly and
well. The interment was at the
Knappa cemetery.
The coffin was covered with flowers,
which were, at the close, placed on
the grave.
The steamer left Kuappa at 3:10

Rev. Mr. Le Boy was advertised to
speak here to-night, but is not on
hand. Some time ago, this gentleman,
who is now running for state superin
tendent on tho Democratic ticket in a
public address in Portland, is reported
to have said that there was "nothing
but sin and salmon iu Astoria." This
is decidedly complimentary to Astoria.
Ho ran for county superintendent of
public instruction on the Prohibition
ticket in this county at the last elec
tion, and got 95 votes out of 2,021. He
probably wants no help from Astoria,
which has nothing In it according to
him, but "sin and salmon."
Pioneers Passing away.
One by one the old pioneers of this
country pass rapidly away. Every
montliTirn Astoiuax is called upon
to chronicle the demise of some man
who in the days of his early manhood
aided in bnildiug up this common
wealth.
The latest is J. S. Northrup, the old
est man in the county, who died at his
residence in the Nehalem last Wed
nesday, the 14th, in the eighty-ninth
year of his age. The funeral took
place on Friday the lGth mid was

Mrs. Michael Curtain. Plalnfield, HI.,
makes the statement that she caught
cold which settled on her lungs; she
was treated a month by her family phy

was a hopeless victim of consumption and
that no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King's New

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
Discnssion of Varioas Subjects Of
local Importance.

The chamber of commerce held its
regular session last evening. A re
port was submitted by W. Hampton
Smith, setting forth at length the po

countv. The report was ordered sent
to T." S. Lang, at The Dalles, to be
transmitted to the secretary of the
treasury.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
Capt J. H. D. Gray presented the
following repert:
Astoria, Oregon, May 19, '90.
To the President and Members of
the Astoria Chamber of Com Cem
merce: Gentlemen: We, your committee
to whom was referred the matter of
improvements of the streets of this
city, sent a communication to tho
mayor aud common council of As
toria in relation to the matter. En
closed herewith please find a com
munication from the mayor and city
attorney containing several very
worthy suggestions, which we recom
mend "be adopted.
But as the season is now at hand,
where street work can best be done,
we still think our citizens should be
aroused from the shiftless and un
sightly condition of many of the
streets surrounding the residences of
our wealthy citizens and some plan
should be devised, wehreby uot only
the streets in the residence portion of
the city should be improved, but that
at least two streets running north and
south to city limits, and from them to
Young's bay, should be improved by
grading and planking a roadway 12 or
10 feet wide the entire distance. We
therefore recommend that a meeting
of the citizens be held at the city hall
at an earlv date, say Monday, May
2Gth 1890, at 730, p. M., to consider the
best and most expeditious manner in
which to accomplish this necessary
work.
Respectfully submitted.
J. H. D. Gray.
Chairman Committee.
In connection with this the follow
ing report was also presented:
Astoria, Oregon, May 19, '90.
Hon.E. C. lFolden, Secretary Cham
ber of Commerce.
Dear Sir: At a regular meeting of
the common council held May 13th,
1890, the communication from the
chamber of commerce relative to co
operation in the matter of street and
other ueeded improvements in the
city, was referred to the mayor and
citj attorney with iostructions to fur
nish your honorable body with the
necessarv information relative to the
matter of municipal improvements.
The common council have passed
ordinances for the improvement of
Squemoquc, Water, Madison, Polk
and Jackson streets. A uniform
system of grades is being established,
and as soon as completed will result
satisfactory and beneficial to the city
in the future. Several streets in the
city, now m a dangerous condition,
need improving. The council has
given the required notice, but the
property owners have defeated the
improvement by remonstrance. The
present city charter is ineffective,
which in a measure prevents the city
from making many needed improve
ments. There is a certain class of
property owners in Astoria, abundant
ly able to improve streets in front of
their property, who take advantage of
every technicality to escape street im
provements, knowing that any acci
dent, resnlting from the dangerous
condition of the street or sidewalk,
will bo charged to the individual
members of the city council, who alono
are responsible in an action for
damages or los3 of life. With tho
limited power now conferred by
the charter it is almost im
possible to inaugurate a sys
tem of municipal improvements
very much needed, and material to tho
growth and prosperity of the city.
Power to bond the city iu any sum not
exceeding $500,000 would aid mate
rially in the prosperity of the city, and
instead of the present generation being
compelled to shoulder all the burdens
of necessary improvements, it will shift
a portion of the responsibility to those
who will enjoy the fruits of our labors.
I would, therefore, recommend that
the Chamber of Commerce appoint a
committee to act in conjunction with
the mayor, city attorney and common
council, to draft a new charter for the
city, and that tho committee be ap
pointed as soon as convenient, in order
that ample time may bo had for
the necessary work. Hoping the fore
going brief suggestions will meet with
your approval, and recognizing the
valuable assistance and co-ojieration
that is within your power to furnish,
I remain your obedieut servant,
C. J. Conns,
City Atty., City of Astoria.
The foregoing statement of facts is
a brief sketch of the present condition
of affairs in the city, and tho "recom
mendations made meet my sanction
and approval.
Magnus C. Crosby,
Mayor, City of Astoria.
On motion the reports were received
and filed.
A communication was read from
citizens of Marshfield, saying they
were going to start a'board of trade
there and wanted a copy of the Astoria
chamber of commerce constituion aud

was instructed to comply with the
request.
A communication was read from J.
L. Torrey, of St Louis, Mo., regard
ing his national bankrupt law.
A communication was received from
the Kansas City, Mo., commercial
club, asking that the chamber endorse
a movement to have amended sections
four and five of the inter-state com
merce law. The matter was referred
to a committee consisting of Messrs.
Gray, Crosby and Thompson.
FREE POSTAL DELIVERY.
The following communication from
Postmaster Bell was read:
Hon. J. Q. A. Jiowlby.
Dear Sir: Your favor of 6th iust is

general census, or a post office whioh
produced a gross revenue for the pre
ceding fiscal year of not less than ten

entitled to a free delivery. Section
623 of postal laws and regulations.
I herewith hand you a statement of

Cannot Tell the Truth in Hardly Anything
The Columbian of hist Friday
moniing contained the follewing:
The steamer S. G. Ileal, in going from j
the Union l'aciuc dock down to Tansy
so that it will require two or three days
hard work to gather up aud repair it.
1 The net was in tho middle of the channel,
i but there was plenty of room for passage
on either side, and those who saw the af-
a,r soiae of whom wero passengers on
the steamer, denounce it as an outrage
upon an honest, hardworking man.

Tlin QUESTION SETTLED.
This is a faithful pic
ture of the establish
ment of Thomas rrico
& Son, at 521 Sacra
mcato St., S. F. As the
leading chemists of
the west, they wcro
asked to settle tho question as to what sarsa
parillas wcro la fact purely vegetable. "Wo
present their report. " U'c have made careful
chemical analyses of several veil 1-novn brands
of sarsaparilla, and have found them, allicith
j the single cxtzplion of Joy's to contain iodide of
potassium. As a result ve are enabled to pro
nounce Joy's to be the only purely vegetable
', larsaparilla now on the zmrlet, vhich has come
' under our observation." Modern mcdiclno
( has proven that all ordinary lace eruptions
, are caused by Indigestion and sluggish, circu
J latiou, which call for vcgctablS alteratives,
Instead of mineral blood purifiers like Iodide
j of potassium. Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla
J Is tho first to discard tho old notions and pro
j cced under tho modem theory. Its cures arc
tho talk of tho hour.

Imitator
No matter what trade or
profession you choose you
will easily detect the men of
original ideas; the men who
push themselves and the town
they live in ahead; men who
are a credit to their profession
and tho community they live
in: but you are also sure to find
the imitators, those who are
at the rear end of the proces
sion, men who never have an
original, bright thought or do
an original, bright act. If let
alone they will exist on what
liberal, unsuspecting people
permit themselves to be rob
bed of; but no sooner does
the original, enterprising man
make a move, and the imitat
ing tail-cnder tries to benefit
by his superior's genius.
Note the weak attempts of
the old-styled shops to imitate
my Saturday Surprise Sales.
It's enough to make a, horse
laugh.
