People complain, unreasonably, of
the high price of fruit in this city.
As a matter of fact fruit retails here
cheaper than "any xlace in the state

panies composing the Astoria fire de

standard, so long they could be safely

no volunteer fire department could be
expected to preserve its efficiency it
refused the privilege of naming JLs
own engineer. There was no dividing
line; either make it a paid fire depart
ment and take full charge -or allow
some latitude in the matter of saying
how the affairs of the department
should be administered.
Tho ordinance in question look
away all power from the foreman;
made him on.' a figurehead: he
couldn't control the engineer
couldn't suspend him, and the point
was no self consciousness, no glory,
but that to carry out the provisions of
the ordinance destroyed the discipline
and organization that was the pride
of the department. A fireman de
served the same meed of applause
awarded a soldier; as much heroism
was deserved by daring firemen at the
scene ot action as ever shown by
valiant soldiers on the battlefield of
victory
B. S. Worsley here read the follow
ing resolutien:
Jicsolceil, That we. the volalccr fire
men of tho city of Astoria, respectfully
ask the common council to repeal the or
dinance amendatory to ordinance No.
11, and also ordinance No. Ste, of the
city of Astoria, in relation to tho ap
pointing of engineers of the fire compan
ies r tho department.
Postmaster Hare was called on; he
was not in favor of the resolution.
While he didn't favor taking the ap
pointing of the engineer out of the
if he i hands of the company, yet he thought
that it was necessary to have some
fountain head; some source of author
ity. There was no need of making
any disturbance because one man had
been asked to quit.
B. S. Worsley thought that the law
creating the fire department was am
ple enough in its provisions to cover
all cases possibly arising. If there
but Miss Mabel will spend a month in
Albany, on a visit to friends.
MARINE NEWS AND NOTES.
On their way to this city arc Si. sail
ing vessels from foreign and domestic
ports.
The steamer A Ilia me, Capt. Peter
son, is due from Portland this morn
ing, on her way to Gray's harbor.
The steamer Signal, Capt M.
Bcudegard, sailed yesterday for Seattle
with a miscellaneous cargo." She look
from here GO barrels of oil.
The steamer Telephone was much
later than usual yesterday, as she did
not arrive until 50 p. m., having been
detained all along the river at the
various landings.
The Roscburg Jiecicw tells this
story of a gentleman who has just
escaped from Grant's Pass, where he
has been in search of a business loca
tion. Being asked what he thought
of the place, he replied: "Think of
the place? why it's the liveliest town
on the coast. Yon see I was unwary
enough to tell a fellow that I had
So500 to invest where I could do the
best with it, and what do yon think ho
did? rushed right out and called a
special meeting of the chamber of
commerce la board of trade is too
slow for Grant's Pass) and absolutely
dragged me over to see it. They
offered me every inducement to invest;
told me I could have a certain lot for
$1200, then showed me another pre
cisely like it for only $600. A delega
tionfrom each church and political
faction called on me formally and
pleaded with me to settle among them,
and invest my little $3500 where it
would increase 500 per cent in six
months. The chamber of commerce
sat in constant session three days aud
nights, and I was feted, fed on the fat
of the land and given free excursions
to inspect every acre of arablo laud in
Josephine couutv. But I clung with
a death grip to my $3500."

had been uniformly successful in the
past, aud would, doubtless, continue
to be, if it is lot alone. The depart
ment were champions at home and
abroad, they were not beaten wherever
they appeared, and when fire broke
out it was a common remark by
strangers that the brave way they
worked compared favorably with the
work of any paid fire department on

G. C. Fulton was called upon, and

was, how to avert the evil. There was
no jealousy and should be none. When

ask him to consider tho matter, to
give the boys a chance to have some
thing to say as to who shall be en

should be no hitch in tho workings of
the department, and there need be
none if a wise conservatism were dis
played, and some regard shown tho

A Letter from nn Eminent Physician.
Hit. Editer: At the risk of indorsing a
proprietary preparation, I have a few word
iu favor of a nci.7 laxative principle. But
first, how I came to discover it. A patient
asked about taking Joy's Vegetable Sarsa
parllla. As sarsaparillas usually coutaia
mercury or iodides I objected, and asked for
the formula, which findingpurely vegetable,
and so mild as to be to my mind almost
Inert, I consented. Jmagino my astonish
ment when perfect laxative action was re
ported. It has two great points, rirtt, being
purely vegetable, It Is (unlike mercury) not
cumulative in the system, being easily car
ried off by the digestive processes; and tccond.
It Is effective with a less quantity of the
cathartic principle than has hitherto been
attainable. It in this respect ranks 03 a
discovery, and approaches the ideal, viz.:
the least medicine consistent with the great
est good. It harmonizes natural laxativo
action and perfect safety, and should inter
est both the public and the profession.
