TIEWLTRESTAURAHT-JEFFS
AND THE WIND BLEW STROM
A Heaiy Gale Visits Astoria H
Vicinity Yesteriay.
FEARS FOR rFSSELS AT SEA.
This morning according to signal
service office reports from San Fran
cisco, should break bright and clear.
Yesterday a "piping" gale prevailed,
not only in this city but outside. At
Fort Canby the wind whistled through
the register at the rale of fifty-two
miles an hour. Outside, the bar was
breaking, and a barkentine in the off
ing which was headed in put out to
sea again. The steamship Mexico
arrived off tho river early in the after
noon and lay to for high tide. When
it served the Mexico started in and
after tumbling about and shipping
more or less water crossed the bar
safely.
That somo disasters will bo reported
within tho next few days is extremely
probable. The signal officer at San
Francisco under date of Friday even
ing; Oct 17th, reported as follews:
"Storm center, off the Oregon coast;
moving east northeast, with northeast
and northwest winds; stationary fol
lowed by lower temperature; rain,
thick weather with dangerous gales
along the north Pacific Coast for the
next thirty-six hours."
The brnnt'of the storm, mariners
say, will be very close to the month
of the river and Capo Flatten will feel
it also. In this connection it may be
staled that imong other vessels over
duo is the little steamer?. P. Elmore,
which is supposed to have been nt sea
during the gales of a few days ago.
Mr. Sanborn of Elmore, Sanborn &
Co., owners of the vessel, asked in when
regard to matter, stated that as yet ho
had no apprehensions for the safely
of tho steamer. "Wo have," ho said
"had no advices of her leaving Port
Townsend and do not know whether
she is at sea or not"
In this city the wind blew a gale at
intervals all day long. Several signs
were loosed from their fastenings and
awnings had to bo clewed up close in
order to save them from being carried
away. The rain fell in torrents dnr
both forenoon and afternoon.
PERSONAL MENTION.

land, too ill to be brought home, but
it is hoped he will be enough better to
return to-morrow, with Ins mother.
The Rescue Club.
The attendance at last evening's
meeting of the Rescue club was not as
large as ordinarily, owing probably to
the large audience at the opera house,
but the usual excellent program was
rendered. Rev. G. W. Grannis pre
sided. There was a duett by the
Misses Nellie and Lena Mason, a rec
itation by Sydney Campbell, a song
by Freeman Parker, who accompanied
himself on the violin, and sang ex
cellently, "The Horseshoe on tho
Door." An address was delivered by
Major EVA Weed and closing re
marks by tho Rev. Grannis and
signing of the pledge, and a closing
song terminated the exercise of the
evening.

MARINE NEWS AND NOTES.
The steamer Cascades, Capt W. H.
Whitcomb, came down just after mid
night, bringing barges of rock for tho
jetty.
The steamship Mexico arrived from
Alaska via Departure bay yesterday,
bringing a cargo of coal and somo
salmon. The Mexico has on board
twenty-seven Chinese, all of whom
claim to come from Alaska, but in re
gard to this there is some doubt, and
Inspectors Linville and Carney, who
boarded tho vessel, immediately upon
her docking allowed no one to go on
board or ashore until tho Pagans had
been rounded up and checked. Even
then the Chinese wero kept on board
as a safety measure, as it is thought
that some of the Coolies came over
the border and boarded the vessel at
Nanaimo and have no right in this
country. There is also a strong sus
picion that there is a quantity of
opium on board the vessel, but the
customs officers will see that it is not
landed here.

STRAWBERRIES IB ALASKA.
That Far northern Territory Com
ing to the Front
WITH A GRLCULTUJtATj PRODUCTS
Alaska has usually been looked upon
as a bleak and distant section of Uncle
Sam's domain where the land was
mostly water, furnishing seals and
salmon, while icebergs and glaciers
adorned wonderfully picturesque
landscapes and waterscapes, tho de
light of summer tourists, who visit
that far northern clime to enjoy a few
elongated days.
Of late tho reports from that rapidly
developing territory seem to indicate
that it has possibilities in the way of
fruits and vegetables not generally
suspected.
Among the arrivals in this city yes
terday was James Cox, who left here
for Chilkat a year ago last April with
his family; consisting of his wife and
three children. Mr. Cox is quite well
pleased with tho climate where he was
stationed, the temperature seldom
dropping to fifteen degrees below zero
and occasioning no inconvenience.
He had quite a nice garden, last sum
mer in which he raised fine vegetables,
turnips, beets, carrots, onions and po
tatoes. He says there is an old half
breed woman at the Chilcoot mission
a few miles from Chilkat who lias
raised potatoes and vegetables for
many years past. This last season
she experimented with some straw
berries and succeeded in growing
some very fine ones. Mr. Cox's family
was increased on the 6th of last April
by tho addition of a 11-pound boy, and
as a native Alaskan the youngster has
proved a success.
Mr. Cox came down on the Mexico
as far as Tacoma when he and his
family left the steamer for the over
land route. For the present he will
locate at St Helens.
"Worthy of Patronage.
Last night closed the week and
seventh entertainment by Miss Eunice
Goodrich and her capital company, as
they commenced on Monday evening,
and gave a matinee yesterday after
noon. Every night they played a
different piece, most of them having
been written by Miss Goodrich.
Last night they gave an entirely
new play written by her, and pre
sented for the first time. It is a
drama in six acts, each ending with a
startling tableau, and is really meri
torious, abounding in interesting sit
uations and startling scenes. The
little lady may well feel proud of her
latest production, "Tho Little Count
ess," which was most admirably pre
sented last evening, and Astoria
should feel honored in welcoming the
piece.
This evening tho company go to
Portland for a week's engagement at
the Casino, but announce their inten
tion of returning hero for another
week at no distant day. They have
given universal satisfaction, as their
large audiences attest, and, will be
sure of a warm reception when they
return. Last night the opera house
was crowded, many of our best people
being present

OREGON CAMOT COMPLAIN,
Very Literal Ainriations
Orepn ant Washington.
for
FA1TIIF VL REPRESENTATIVES.
Senators Dolph and Mitchell and
Congressman Hermann have done ex
cellent -work in Congress for tho state
they so faithfully represent, as is evi
denced by the numerous large appro
priations they havo secured for the
improvement of tho waterways of
Oregon and Washington. Much val
uable information on this subject is
contained in a dispatch in yesterday's
Uregonian, from which we quote as
follews:
Tho projects for the improvement
of the lower Columbia and Willamette
rivers, the upper Columbia and Snake
rivers and Coquille river have been
approved by the war department
The improvement proposed at Coos
bay and Chehalis river were to-day
approved. These and tho projects for
the improvement of the month
of the Columbia and Yaquina
bay, approved last month, are the only
projects for Oregon and Washington
improvements which have reached the
chief, of engineers. Senator Dolph
said to-day that ho could not under
stand why tho project for the im
provement at the Cascades has not ar
rived. Mr. Hermann was asked what he
considered the great accomplishments
of tho session for tho state aud said:
Oregon's greatest benefit, bowoer,
from legislation of this congress is in
tho splendid appropriations for her rivers
and harbors. No stato in tho Union has
so many uavignblu tide-water outlets on
her coast as Oregon. They aro all enpa
blo of permanent improvement, and
when improved will carry to tho sea
abundant productions from their fertile
valleys. Uregon will always be a great
commercial stale, and as natnro has
richly endowed her with many and supe
rior waterway facilities, it is right they
should be improved. The East reluctant
ly concedes to Oregon her demands, and
parts begrudgingly with necessary appro
priations to utilizo present advantages
and to further develop others. But do
spito this Eastern exclusion and ignor
ance, Oregon is compelling recognition
of her demands, and has worked her way
to tho front rank. Tho Oregon water
way appropriations at this session
amount to $1,507,100, while two years
ago there was secured $1,178,500, and
four years ago but 593,'i50. It can bo
seen from this what magnificent results
have been secured over the past,
New York obtains this year 1,504.000,
exceeding Oregon's allowance onlvSSG.-
900. Michigan obtains the highest al
lowance, being $1,908,000, of which
SlOO.000 is for tho great .Sault St
Marie canal and tho channel above it
Texas, including Galveston harbor, has
but $810,000. California has $591,500.
As to gross amounts, Michigan
stands first, New York second and
Oregon third of the state. Oregon
has four harbors and nine separate
improvements on seven rivers; New
York has twenty-seven harbor, and
eleven river improvements; Michigan
has seventeen harbor, and ten river
improvements; California has five har
bor, and six river improvements;
Texas has three harbor, but no river
improvements.
For public-land surveys Oregon has
done well. Last year S10.000 was
allowed, and this year S20.000. For
several years the Western domain
was hampered with limitations on sur
vey contracts so low that in case of.
timbered lands contractors could not
afford to bid, but this session this has
been much changed, so far as Jo allow
for "survey ot lands heavily timbered,
mountainous, or covered with dense
undergrowth," rates not exceeding
$18 per linear mile for standard and
meander lines, $15 for township, and
$12 for section lines, and this increase
is confined alone to Oregon and Wash
ington. Other states must make
special showings to obtain it Oregon
has 20,000,000 acres of land yet unsur
veyed. The present liberal rates will
induce numerous surveys, and thus
encourage the development of large
areas of our public lands in Oregon,
which are now retarded.

pilation of the amounts appropriated

Tho Xlazelte reporter, after an ardu
ous task, has succeeded in running
down IhQ real facts in regard to tho
presence of the six surveyors who
wero here last week, which caused so
much comment in our midst They
merely wished to get a section corner,
by which they could get a starting
point for the survey of township 12,
rango 6 west, on tho Chehalis divide.
So our railroad bubble is burst Let's

Our attention has been called to the
fact that an unusually large quantity
of sawdust is found floating in the
river at present". Two fishermen from
Waterford called at our office recently
to state that the- sawdust was piling
up on the banks and damaging fish
ing. This is a matter which needs
tho attention of our fish commissioner,
as tho sawdust is very detrimental to
the-fishing interests, besides forming
almost unsurmomitable obstacles to
navigation in the shape of bars, which
it is almost impossible to remove.
There is a strict law against dumping
sawdust in the river which should be
enforced.
Ancient Troy.
In a recent letter to Prince Bis
marck, from Troy, Dr. Henry Schlie

locomotives are employed. He adds
that the art treasures which he will

Trojan antiquities at Berlin are of
great value and beauty.
