It is all very fine for the Herald to display commendable enterprise by publishing attractive cuts on its first page, but when local heroes are de picted by old familiar , "Saved from Death by Onions," and "Before Tak ing," photographs, matters get serious.

There was a large cr,owd present, and every time the inoffensive atmosphere was savagely battered, loud applause ensued. The men were foolish enough to hit each other once or twice, but as these little breaks were purely accidental, no offense was taken.

The case of the state of Oregon vs. John R. Rathom, editor of the As- torlan. was called up In the circuit court yesterday morning by a motion of defendent's counsel for a new trial. District Attorney Barrett objected on the grounds that the majority of the Jury had been for acqultal and. that it would be in his opinion Impossible to secure a conviction, and that the coun ty had already been put to sufficient expense. The court granted the mo tion andi ordered Mr. Rathom dis charged and his bondsmen exonorated. A silver breastpin, butter-knife shape, was lost between the Court utrt Hrhnol and the Occident hotel. Finder will be liberally rewarded by leaving it at this omce. The contract for supplying rock for . the Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia has been let to Messrs.

Maxwell & Huber were the second lowest bidders, the lowest bid being that of N. J. Blagen, of the city, of 59 cents per ton. A concert will be given this afternoon at 3 o clock at the Cosmopolitan sa loon. The case of state of Oregon vs. R. Carruthers came up for trial yesterday morning. The state was represented by Prosecuting Attorney Barrett, as slsted by F. D. Wlnton, and the de- fendent by Fulton Brothers. The fol lowing Jury were sworn: J. Harlan, J. C. Pope, A. Leberman, John Boberg, Max Young, H. Spellmeler, C. Oerk- wltz, Otta Peterson, E. C. Heacock, C. S. Dow, A V. Allen, and W. T. Bever- ldge. The court decided early in the case that, the county, commissioners could appoint one of their number to superintend any piece of county- work they saw fit, and pay him a reasonable compensation, but decided to allow the trial to proceed as to the question of charging for more work than he had performed. This ruling was objected to by the defendent's counsel.- The trial proceeded, and after examining several witnesses, . the court decided that the indictment was in some re spects defective, and he would there fore dismiss this case and refer the in dictment to the next grand Jury. The second indictment was dismissed. Cream cheese, genuine Swiss chese. Llmborger, cream liriok cliche a: l'caid & Stokes' Personal Mention. E. E. Cooper is in the city. R. W.

JEFFS, Tie flilj Marat, Editor of Astorian: A recent article published in the Evening Telegram and copied in your paper, as well as in many other papers of the county giving, the average yield of lumber In in Clatsop county at twenty thousand feet per acre, is so manifestly erronous; that in Justice to ourselves as well as to the outside world, we feel compelled to correct tne error Dy submitting a statement of facts that have been gathered from the practical operations of the lumber business in Clatsop county for the past twenty years. The men, whose names are here appended, as furnishing the evidence of the lum ber yield of the timber lands of Clat sop county, have been practical operat ors in the business from ten to twenty years each, and can be consulted at Astoria either by letter or in person. D. G. Ross has been engaged constant ly for the past twenty years s a con tractor in cutting and furnishing logs to the mills on the ColumVa, river In which he has cut the timber off from several thousand acres. In one con tract alone near Knappa, he took off forty million feet-of lumber by actual measurement from about eleven hun dred acres. . Other lands that he has taken the timber from have yielded on an average of forty thousand feet to the acre. D. R. Cole, a contractor of for eight een years, cut the timber from 160 acres of land on the Columbia river about six miles from Astoria, which gave a yield of twelve millions and two hun dred thousand feet, the same was esti mated at about seven million before cutting. Mr. Cole has logged on the Columbia, on the Lewis andClarke and on Young's rivers, and cut off thou sands of acres, and by reference to his books he gives the average fully forty thousand to 'the acre. Tom Boyle, another log contractor of about fifteen years in Clatsop county, sums up his estimate of several hund red acres of land logged off by him, l,rln nn tttn kabi.U n n t ... II ., six millions to the Quarter section. - I G. H. Woods, also a logger of l.iany years In Clatsop county, has cleared the timber off from several hundred acres, gives his estimate or tne aver age yield of lumber at not less than forty thousand to the acre. The above estimates do not take into account the Alaska spruce, known here as Oregon hemlock, which will log fiillv twenty thousand to the acre, giving the aggre gate yield of more than nine millions to the quarter section, or sixty thou sand to the acre. We shall now Introduce the evidence of another olass of estimators. A large portion of the timber of live town ships in Clatsop county have been bought up by lumber nen and timber syndicates who before buying have had very close .-estimates jnade of the tlm ber by experienced and competent lim ber men, who have had years of ex perlence as estimators and thus i ave learned to approximate very nearly to the actual amount on a given tract of land. - Among the estimators on this line, prominent in Astoria we would name James Finley, E. C. Iewl3 rni Max Young. Their estimates have run from five to ten miUbns. An in the logging estimates t'.ie Alaska spruce, known here as Orji?on hemlock, was not taken into the account. We see from these estimates, formed upon a basis of almost .ibio'ute cer tainty, that the average yield 1 about nine millions to the quarter section. Clatsop county has about twenty townships that average about the same amount of timber to the quarter section. OLIVER STEWART. Astoria, March 10, 1893. WAXTKD. PS OSHINO CANVA8SEK OK GOOD AD- ress.

At a meeting of the voters of School District No 18, held last evening at Cedar street school .house, Mr John McCann was elected as chairman and W. Kuykendall, secretary. The ob ject of the meeting was stated by Cap tain J. H. ,D. Gray, after which he thanked the voters for the nomination tendered him for school director, and said there being already two candi dates in the field he declined to become a candidate, as by doing so It might de feat the election of a director from this district. The meeting upon motion de cided not to make an endorsement of any particular candidate, but leave the voters to chose from the candidates already in tthe field. Upon motion the meeting was then adjourned. A kllllon Friends. CALICO BALL For the aid of the memorial fund, at Fisher's Hall, April 14th. Two prizes will be given for the neat est dressed lady.
