Most of the day yesterday it was
clear and sunny, a very agreeable con
trast to the stormy and unpleasant
weather of last week.
A silk umbrella has been left at the
store of Parker k. Hansen, which the
owner can have by proving property
and paving for this notice.

The gain in membership in the
Knights of Pythias throughout the
state, has been very gratifying, as re
ported at the session of the grand lodge
last week at The Dalles. In a very few
days Grand Chancellor Cleveland ex
pects an invitation to institute a new
lodge in the Willamette valley.
The returning Knights of Pythias
are all loud in their praises of the
fraters at The Dalles; and not only
they, but the citizens generally, all
had kind words and warm greetings
for the visitors. It w;is indeed a gala
occasion, highly enjoyed by a? I who
were fortunate enough to compose the

to take this paper, we do not desire
them to commit ' larcenyby" stealing

them; and therefore, wo omit any
laudations of the many virtues they

(scrupulously to guard"' them from

It was what might be called a
triumphal march. Tho local Knights
of Pythias returned home yesterday
and proudly through the streets did
the company bear the premium it had
won in the prize drill at Tho Dalles.
It was an eventful occasion, Astoria
division had won everything and in
the way of trophy bore the Sir Knight
bronze clock that had been awarded
the company and which was after
wards presented to Alex Campbell,
who had drilled the boys.
When -the steamer Thompson
docked, the drum corps and the
Knights that had previously arrived
were on hand to welcome them. An
informal line of march to Carnahan's
hall was taken up headed by the
drum corps, with Grand Chancellor
Cleveland in the front. At the hall
which had been handsomely decorated
an informal breakfast, preceded by an
address of welcome was served.
The returning knights were Alex.
Campbell, A. A. Cleveland, L. G. Car
penter, Wm. li. McCroskv, Ben Ward,
O. B. Estcs, C. H. Cooper, C. J. Curtis,
James McComber and James Hare.
Many of the gentlemen had their
wives with them.
On arrival at Pythian hall an ad
dress of welcome was delivered by C.
J. Curtis, which was aptly responded
to by A. A. Cleveland, the newly elec
ted grand chancellor. Then came
speeches from other membeis of the
order.'
The trip, the returning members say,
was one of the grandest they ever had.
As has been announced in The Asto
ktuj, nothing Tho Dalles had was too
good for our boys. It was good cheer
and good will all around, and Astoria's
delegation left the little city reluc
tantly. Tho prizes won by the home
boys are on exhibition at Alex. Camp

Last Monday, while the family of

In compliance with a request from
tho steamboat men on the Cowlitz
river, Major Handbury has had a small
party, under charge of Captain Orin
Kellogg, at work removing a point of
the Toutle river bar, which interfered
with the navigation of the Cowlitz.
They turned the current of tho" Cow
litz into a new channel and attacked
the obstruction with scrapers and
wheelbarrows and removed the hard
surface crust of the bar, leading the
sand exposed. The stream, when
turned back into its channel, will soon
wash the sand away and enable steam
boats to pass up.
A few miles down the river from

roads in tho country, and considering
its length it has cost more than most

road belongs to MoFarland Bros., who

Westport and one at Kuappa. It was
built to render accessible a large body
of timber a short distance back of
Wrestport Tho most expensive feat
ure of the road is a tunnel through
solid rock nearly 300 feet long. The
tunnel was built in order to maintain
a down hill grade to tho road clear to
tho water, thereby enabling teams to
haul out loads that it would bo impos
sible to move on a level road. The
outer end of the tunnel is near the
head of a small canal leading out to
Westport slough, so that the logs aro
run from the entrance of the frinnel
right into the water. As the road
leads back into the hills it passes
through an extremely rough country,
and within a distance of half a milo it
crosses three immense bridges.

The principles set forth in Bellamy's
"Looking Backward" aro about to bo
tested by Mrs. Olive "Washburn, a
wealthy lady residing in San Francisco,
who will devote nearly her entire for
tune to the founding of a Nationalist
colony, where the ideas advanced by
the National leader can be developed
to their fullest extent
Mrs. Washburn is the wife of Henry
Washburn, a live-stock dealer, and re
sides with her husband in a hand
some mansion at 2,728 Howard street,
Son Francisco.. She is a pronounced
Nationalist and Spiritualist, and ever
since reading the book mentioned has
been imbued with tho idea that her
mission in lifo is to aid her fellow be
ings as much as possible, and that the
founding of such a colony is the surest
method of attaining her desire.
She states that communion with tho
spirits of tho departed has served to
strengthen her conviction.
A part of her large fortune consists
of a tract of 1,700 acres of land known
lis the 'Washburn ranch, situated on
tho road between Mount Hamilton
and San Jose, California, and it is
there that tho colony will be located.
The tract is very desirablo in every
respect, and 'when improved accord
ing to Mrs. Washburn's plans will bo
a veritable paradise.
Over SxOO.OOO will be spent by Mrs.
Washburn in tho erection of factories,
dwelling houses, etc., and the pur
chase of farming implements, and
when all is ready she will present the
entire estate to the colony.
All people of good moral character,
irrespective of religious belief, who
are willing to work for the benefit of
the colony are welcome to become a
part of the community. Mrs. Wash
burn does not expect or wish any of
tho colonists to use any funds they
may have in the founding of the col
ony, and merely asks them to do the
part of tho work of tho community
alloted to them and work for tho gen
eral good of alL
The work of improvement was bo
guu about two months ago and at
the present time is well advanced.
Mrs. Washburn has invited several
hundred prominent nationalists to be
present at the dedication of the
colony, which will take place shortly,
and is in hopes of having Bellamy
himself present Jp lead the exercises.
Ho has been written to regarding tho
matter, and his answer is anxiously
awaited.
Several families aro ready to start
for tho colony as soon as the arrange
ments are complete, and many others
havo signified their intention of join
ing. Mrs. Washburn is very sanguine of
success, and says that she will be
satisfied. with the labors of her lifo if
her hopes are realized.
The founder of tho colony has been
a resident of California for many
yearn, and has long been conspicuous
for her generous gifts to charity and
the active part sho has taken in the
advancement of tho nationaKcause.
She is about CO years of age.
Her husband, while not so pro
nounced in his ideas as his wife, is
willing that she should employ her
fortune in tho way sho lias done.
Both are now at tho ranch superin
tending the arrangements.
The Chicago l Times."
Thc Chicago Times, now in its
thirty-sixth year of successful publica
tion, continues to be tho leadiog
democratic'journal of tho Northwest
and one of tho few grent newspapers
of the world.
Since 1870 it has been a champion
of tho reduction of war taxes, especi
ally thoso cunningly laid less for pur
poses of revenue than for the promo
tion of the interests of a class whereby
tribute is compelled not to the govern
ment alone but to a relatively small
body of beneficiaries, whoso constant
cry, deeded in the MoKinley tariff bill,
is for more.
The Times has the satisfaction of
seeing the tariff question squarely
presented for settlement, with tho
democratic party unitedly arrayed
upon the side of tho reform, which has
long been necessary and is now
urgent.
Printed in Chicago, the Times
responds fully to the demand of that
great metropolis for local recognition.
bub while strongly a local publication
it is essentially a great newspaper,
whose enterprise covers tho whole

When peaches and apples havo both

And berries of no kind have greeted

How fondly wo turn to tho fruit of the
cornfield,
Tho fruit thai our children are taught
to despise;
Tho old yellow pumpkin, the mud-covered
pumpkin,
The bigbelhed pumpkin that mako
such good pies!
O, golden hued pumpkin, you surely are
"in it,"
You jolly old rascal, so recently
spurned;
We ask your forgiveness for thus having
wronged yon,
"When from your dear prcsenco we
scornfully turned,
Como rolling down hill till we meet you
and greet you,
Your bulk is a feast to our fruit-hungry
eyes;
We love you, old pumpkin, so well we
could eat you.
For you are a "dandy" when made into
pies.
