One mortgage for $230 was filed in the recorders s office yesterday. Arrangements are being made in Tncoma for the celebration of Labor dny on September 1st. All 11k business bouses of Captain Flavel are receiving new coats of iwiut, nmkingtbem look quite refresh ing. The old shed on the dock of the Ilwaco Kailway fc Navigation Com pany is being torn down by Capt Flavel's orders. The new pleasure boat for Horace Thing was finished yesterday and can lx seen at the Main street dock. She is a Ikymty and no mistake. The sad news has arrived here of I he death of Mrs. Gilman, wife of Captain J. AL Gilman, which occurred in Portland at 11:45 on Tuesday night The contest between Fred Bogan mid Pete Shea has been postponed from August 2GUi to September 5th on account of the illness of Bogan, who is nimble to train. A half drunken fellow was Ye-3 j.basire and insultiuj yesterday, and v-. badly punished by some parties who made no allowance for his condi tion. Many families on tho Nehalera and Young's river complain that no census enumerator visited them, and it is es timated that from one to two hundred people have not been listed at all. Some other steamer will probably come down tho river on Saturday in place of the &. G. Reed, as she is to make an excursion on Sunday from Portland to tho Lower Cascades and return. While Eniperor "William is visiting the Emperor of Russia, he may as well sympathize with him in having yester day lost from the rauks of his follow er John Carlson, who has decided to beeoaie au American citizen. Briefs in the suits for damnges, growing out of the sinking of the Clan Jlttckcurtc last DecemlHT, have been submitted, and tho case has been taken under advisement by Judge Dandy, who will render his decision at a later dny. Taylor Coons, manager of Prof. Gontrys equine and canine paradox, is in the city and has made arrange ments for his fifty wonderful educated dogs and ponies at the opera house, on Wednesday and Thursday tho 27th and 2Sih or August. A party of men under direction of Foreman McKinney went over to Frankfort on the steamer (. K., and will engage in clearing up an ad dition to the town which is being laid out. Some sixty men wil! be employed there in a few days. Grading on the motor line is nearly completed through to Washington street; tlio piling for the trestle work is all driven and tho superstructure is about all in place, so that it will bo but a short time hence when tho cars will bo running into the midst of the c.itv. The Presbyterian Sunday school picnic will start from tho church at SiJO this morning; train hour at 9 o'clock sharp. A wagon will haul tho iKiskets down from the chnrch to tho Bay Railway station. The last rotnrn train leaves the baseball grounds at 530 r. m. Reliable information from the lower Xehalem is to the effect that that sec tion was entirely ignored in the census count. Twenty families on Young's river wcro also overlooked. The ag gregate of such omissions throughout tho state is something great, probably amounting to thousands. .Tames Steele, administrator of the Hollady estate, has filed a suit in tho circuit court in Portland, against the Oregon Real Estate Company. The suit is instituted for the purpose of requiring the defendants to set forth the nature and extent of their claims to certain portions of the Hollady estate of wliicli the defendants have been in possession. Large bodies move slowly, and fre quently the TJnited Suites govern ment is an illustration, so far as differ ent branches or departments are con cerned. James Turk, of this city, realizes that fact, for ho has only just received $200 pension arrears for ser vices in tho Mexican war. when he was in the navy, and at the bombard ment of Ycra Cruz. The readers of The MonxiKO Aa tomax will observe that they get daily from two to three columns more of interesting reading matter than is famished by any other daily paper in this city, and the lines of reading in Tiib AsToniAN are put close together. If the reading matter in The Astorian wcro all leaded like that in tho ed itorial column, the twelve or thirteen columns we print solid every day -would make mteen or more columns. There would be tho same number of words and the same number of lines, but the lines being farther apart would make more columns. But The Asfosxax has no desire to make a great display out of a small amount of matter, so tho type is mostly spt solid, sn-as to crowd the greatest amount of information into the smallest space.

While absent he will extend his tour to various eastern points of interest Frank Sweet, notary public of Wahkiakum county, Washington, was in the city yesterday, and reports pros-1 pecta favorable in the way of new settlers. A bridge is soon to be built and a road opened, so that the bank ' of the Columbia can easily be reached, and people will be greatly benefitted tkereb. Anxiously Awaited. The engagement of tho great emo tion actress, Maude Granger, is one of the principal topics of conversation among onjociety people and theater goers in general. The coming of this famous beauty and favorite artiste will , be an event far from the ordinary. It will give our theater goers au oppor tunity of seeing such a peformauce as would be given on the stages of Wal lack's, tho Union Square, Palmer's, Daly's, or any of tho fashionable thea ters of New York, "with which Miss Granger has been prominently identi fied. There'is not an actress on tho American stage who has been connec ted with so many notable New York successes as she. Immediately after the closo of her present tonr she re turns direct Etist, when "Inherited" will have an extended run at one of Che leading New York theater?. A strong feature of Miss Granger's cu-1 gagement will bo the splendid com pany she will bring with her. Tho sale of seats opens Saturday morning. I'.iNSCiiger; to Portland.

The steam schooner Augusta, Cant Paul Schrader, arrived yesterday from Tillamook, bnngiug.51 kegs or butter, from 70 to 100 pounds each, which were discharged at the U. P. dock. Tho steamer will load at Kinney's can nery with supplies and material for the Kinney cannery at Nchalem, nnd sail to-morrow. Quite An Increase. Tho whole amount of school fund, interest as divided among the several counties of Oregon during 1S89, was S130.377.20, while for this yaar it amounts to $144,372.15, an increase of S13.90i.93. The total number of school children last year was 93,093, and the number reported for 1890 is 99,567, making an increase of G,4G9. Multnomah county receives tho largest apportionment of any county in the state. For 18S9 Multnomah's share was S19,6A3.4fJ; this year she gets S22.422.80. Last year Curry county received the small est apportment, $82040 for fjSQ chil dren; for 1890 Sherman county gets the least S865.65. Last year Clatsop county had 1903 children and this year there arc 2168, an increase of 263 for the past year. The amount of money received from the state school fund this year for Clatsop county is S2.998.60. The increase in tho num ber of school children for tho past year in Clatsop county is not as great as in some other counties of the state; for instance Marion last year had 7364 and this year 794S, an increase of -584 for the year. If the number of births for the past year in Clatsop county can be taken as an indication there will be a great increase in the number of school children next year. An Energetic Lillle City. Within tho past six months there have been erected in McMiunville, Yamhill county, twenty-three new residences, in addition to a fine large business blook now under way, and an extensive lumber factor. Mo Minnvillo's population is recorded by tho census at a little upwards of 1,400. Tho city owns and operates water works and electric light sj-stems, and displays a spirit of progressiveness and healthy enterprise, generally. The growth of residence estate is al ways an after thought in tho increase of a city's population, and reasoning thus it is safo to presume that the enumeration has hardly donoMcMinn ville justice, in counting her popula ion at the numbar naun J.

TIM It AY RAILWAY I'OSITIOX. AsTOiUA, Aug. 20, 1890. Editor Astemak: The time for the annual election of directors of the Astoria and South Coast Railway company is approach ing, and this morning's issue of "your paper contaius a letter from the presi dent of the said company, which ap pears to have been written for the purpose of creating a panic among the stockholders, so that while they pur sue either the Bay Railway company or myself, some one else can get away with the watermelon. Heretofore I have refrained from discussing the railroad situation in the newspapers, but when falsely accused with being the author or of dictating a statement which reflects injuriously .upon my former associates in tho directory of the Astoria and South Coast Railroad company, for whom I entertain the highest regard, and between whom and myself the best of feeling exists, so far as I know, I deem it but just to them to deny the accusation; and I most emphatically say that I had nothing whatever to do with getting up tho article referred to. I neither wrote nor dictated it; nor did I know that such an article was being prepared or written pre vious to its publication, further than that I was informed on tho evening previous to its publication that au article bearing on the railroad situation was in the printer's hands, bnt what it contained, or when it was to be published, I had no information. I was not, however, surprised to seo U2h a move made within a few weeks previous to the annual election, and the projectors of tho Bay -Railway Company are good subjects to use in tho endeavor to stampede the stock holders of the former road. Necessa rily, either tho Bay railway or Trul linger's logging road would, have to be used as the "jack in the box." As a stockholder in tho Bay Rail way Company, I confess I would like to possess and operate tho two roads together, but, Mr. Reid to the contrary notwithstanding, I have nev er dared hope for such resnlts. Had I expected or hoped for it, I would hardly have resigned from the direct ory when I did. However, possibly it would bo bettor for Astoria's .interests if the Bay Railway Company pos sessed the Astoria fc South Coast rail way, than if tho Pacific Construction Company and its friends owned it In order that tho stockholders of tho Astoria & South Coast Railway company may not become alarmed,! will say to thjm (and I speak by au thority) that tho Bay Railway com pany will not attempt to capture their road for two years, and in tho mean time they can devoto their entire at tention to tho Pacific Construction company, whoever or whatever it may be. I would suggest to said stock holders, however, that it they expect to resist tho blandishments, wiles and persuasions of tho said Pacific Construction company, they would havo to act as a unit, and steps should bo taken by them at once to place tho voting power of their stock in tho hands of a very few persons, in whom they havo confidence, that it may bo voted as a unit Unless this is done Astoria interests are likely to bo de feated iu the October election. Of course 1 mako theso suggestions in tho interest of tho Bay Railway com pany, that it may have a chance to capture the Astoria fc South Coast railway, at the expiration of tho two years' parole, which I have promised it above. Mr. Reid has heretofore threatened to publish mo in the newspapers. I havo uo desire to outer into a news paper controversy with Mr. Reid. Neither do I shrink from ono as I have material part of which is in Mr. Reid's handwriting and over his signature which would furuish very interesting reading for tho people of Astoria. I am no longer a director in the Astoria & South Coast Railway company and shall not only deem it my privilege but my duty, to answer any false accusations which may bo made against me. I am willing to stand on the record I mado while act ing as a .director in the Astoria & South Coast Railway company, and am ashamed of but one of my acts, and that is my having favored enter ing into the original contract with the Pacific Construction company. But having myself been deceived and misled through the blandishments wiles and nursnasions of tho said Pacific Construction company, I have takep this opportunity to warn the stockholders against following in my footsteps. Yery respectfully, Feank J. Taylor. Speaking of work beginning on the Union depot in Portland, tho Ore gonian says: Now that work is begun on the Onion depot and a new freight depot, and the Vancouver bridge is as good as begun, it may be expected that something definite may be heard from tho Hunt and Hunt ington roads. Everything comes to those who wait, and tho people of Portland have waited with patience, in fact, they may be. considered the boss waiters, and they are igetting everything they want The building of the depot, filling of Couch lake, and the beginning of work on the Yancouver bridge, the approaching completion of a third bridge across the Willamette, and the consolidation anil consequent extension of street railways will have a tendenoy to make the real estate market, lively and ad vanoe tho prico of property, especially on tho Peninsula.

Liebes, president of tho North American Com mercial company, said yesterday: " Three years ago the Alaska Com mercial company made an affidavit, stating that there were 3,000,000 seals on Pribilhou" islands, yet our last re port from our agent there, dated oarly in July, states that 20,000 skins. h,ave been taken and that the rookeries were almost entirely deserted then. I havo been in the business for twenty years and I predict that it Behring sea is not closed to the sealers of till na tions during July, August and Sep tember at least, fur seals will be found only iq museums. Any one will realize the danger of complete extermination when destructive methods of tho seal ers aro shown. Practically, every seal taken by poachers is a female, soon to give birth to its young, and only ono oat of six shot are taken. Thus the 16,000 seals taken by poachers up to July 1 of this year, means nearly 100, 000 females killed, with as many young ones." For the Accommodation of Fishermen O. B.

Down to tiie Main Point. jit ;rjr. jskii get tjii: swag? At tiie Grange, Aug. 20, 1S90. Editor Asteriak: I stop my plow to "pass the time of daj"with "William Reid as he passes by iu the president's car en route to Hillsboro. My letter seems to have worried him overmuch. He "does me proud" to attribute my bucolics to Judge Taylor. Judge Tay lor never saw the letter until it was published, and never heard of it until it was in tho printers' hands. I came in from the Grange to the seaport a few days ago and soon heard of the contention whether those bonds and the stock, amounting to over 3600,000, under the J. H. Smith Seaside contract, had been put up as collateral oulv, to secure Smith's debt of SiG.760, or whether they had been turned over to the Pacific Construction company as its absolute property. Nearly every body said they were only up as colla't eral, and if the S1G-7G0 was not paid to Smith in fivo days after the engineer s report of the completion, they would be turned over to "William Reid's Con struction company. One shrewd fellow, however, a brother granger, told me that in the deal Reid got the SG00.000 and odd of stocks and bonds absolutely whether the Astoria & South Coast Railwaj Co. paid or not, and practically with out consideration. He told me where to find tho contract. I read it, found he w.i3 correct, and then wrote tho article simply to apprise the treneral public of something they had not dreamed of. I am told that Conn, Case and Page thought up to that time, that tlie stock and bonds were ouly np as collateral and were re deemable by paying oil J. H. Smith. What "Wm. Reid and D. IC Warren (the other two directors voting for it) knew on the subject, I can't surely say. Reid, at least, probably understood it It was pushed through hurriedly, though Jndge Taylor in sisted on two days' time for examina tion. No man cau hastily esamiuo that complicated agreement and clearly understand it. In view of these facts tho innocent directors should be ex cused for being gulled. No longer ago than yesterday somo prominent and intelligent persons who had perused the contract were stoutly asserting that tho Astoria & South Coast Rail way Company could redeem by nav- ing off J. H. Smith. Mr. Reid's letter this morning will disabuse their minds. It shows that tho granger was correct. He admits the construc tion company has got the stock and bonds and says it was entitled to have them, because (substantially) it had a lien for what it had done on tho Hillsboro branch, and tho Astoria people could not get tho Seaside di vision completed unless tho Pacific Construction Company signed tho contract (with Smith), and that the eompany would not sign it unless this concession (I call it a donation) of over 000,000 in stock and bonds was mado to it as for construction of the road to Seaside, which that com pany never constructed. He denies not tho chief proposition of "Granger' viz: That the Construction Company gets tho stock and bonds in any event, but only iusists that the stock and bonds aro worth less than a half million, and that ho was entitled to have them. How that is, and how it stands as to whether he overreached the directors in getting theso great advantages will probably be settled by the courts, Mr. Reid "vows very solemnly that ho will not stop at Seaside, but will puttho road through if ho lives. If ho is suro of that and can fnrnish a reasonable guarantee, ho can get all the balance of the stock and bonds and $200,000 besides. But when he sneers at the poor lloatablo quality of Astoria railroad bonds, he leaves us honest graugcrs to snspect that having by his dodge obtained a quarter million dollars worth of prop erty (according to his own estimate) out of a too confiding people, ho has at least saved himself from loss upou his effort to build a railroad on wind, and will hereafter await events unless tho strong arm of tlie law lays hold of that unconscionable contract and shows him that ho cannot thus deal with a whole community.
