Southerly gale along the coast continuing until noon today, Chief Grosbaur was busy yesterday paying out the money received by him last week for the purpose of llquldat lng the old debts of the fire depart ment.

That night thieves entered his residence and got away with sixty dol lars In coin and Mr. Bilyeu's handsome gold watch.

"Seaside'' knows how to do trese things thor oughly and well. The contribution from the Astoria public schools for the World's Fair is now ready, and is to be despatched to Chicago In a few days. It consists of several splendid essays, which have been before spoken of In these col' umns. and a number of specimens of flower and flower and landscape paint lng, making altogether a most credita ble exhibit of which any schoolteacher might well be proud. The finder will be rewarded by re- turning to this office a small opal ring and no questions will be asked. It Is the elft of a decseased father to his daughter, and Is valued for Us assocl tions. Says the Portland Telegram: "The "cleaning up" mania seems to take possession of a great many persons during the past few days during which the sun shone brightly, and there were strong Indications of the early advent of spring. Back yards and cellars re ceived a good deal of attention which was much needed. Flower gardening ' also was commenced In earnest. How ever, the present threatening appear ance of the weather has put a tempo rary quietus to such operations. There was never a better time than during the spring to inaugurate these sani tary Improvements. Soon warm weather will set in, and the millions of disease germs will be warmed into life and activity. A thorough cleaning up of rubbish and the scattering of some powerful deodorizer may save sickness and a heavy doctor's bill." Astorlans can take this to heart and act on the suggestion. - Ryan & Co. 537, Third street, have just received a full line of 1893 patterns In wall paper, and comprising all the latest designs and shades, at the low est prices.

Aycrs, Mining Commissioner for Oregon: The time alloted us In the collection and classification, of Oregon's Mineral Exhibit at the World's Columbian Ex Is necessarily very limited. We there fore earnestly urge and solicit co-operation and assistance on the part of all who are Interested In securing a creditable display of the vast and val uable mineral resources of our state. Sush an opportunity of disseminating Information and calling the world's attention to the greatness and profit ableneas of Oregon's mining properties will not soon recur. In gathering the exhibits and preparing same for ship ment, system 'and uniformity must be observed. To that' end we beg leave to submit the following suggest ions and directions: 1. For coal exhibits It will be neces sary to pack closely In boxes that will hold not more than 40 pounds, and In as large pieces as possible up to this weight. Building stone, lime stone, marble, kaolin, fire-clay and kindred substances in cubes of 12 inches, dressed on dif ferent faces to show difference in method of finish. If possible, a small quantity of manufactured - articles made from the materials mentioned. 2. . Iron ores in greater pieces of no greater weight than 100 pounds and not more than one such piece from any one mine. Where it Is of smaller chunks, not more, pieces than, will aggregate 100 pounds In weight ' 3. Gold, silver,' copper, nickel and kindred ores In quantities of not less than lOOpounds from each mine or prospective mine, and not more than 6000 pounds from any one. Ores In large pieces are the best for exhibit ing purposes, and s much of our ores In Oregon are In a granulated or de composed condition, great care must be used in handling and shipping. 4. Dirt from placer mines should be gathered from off bed-rock, and all gravel stones larger than a quail's egg pick out. Two or three sacks of such dirt from any one mine Is sufficient. This dirt will be worked at the fair on the minature placer mine In regular manner and credit given the mine from which the dirt Is taken. To beter enable a proper classifica tion of the exhibit and for the distri bution of Information concerning Or egon's mineral wealth among Interest ed and Inquiring visitors at the exposi tion, It Is requisite and of the utmost Importance that an accurate and prop er description of each specimen accom pany the same. We have prepared and herewith enclosed a list of the data de sired. These questions should be care fully answered and in each inBtance re turned with the exhibit. Anyone hav ing any choice, rich specimens of ore that were found In Oregon, are asked to let us have them, and a receipt will be given for their safe return at the close of the exposition. All such spec imens, together with all nuggets, gold and . silver bricks, opals, crystals, etc., and anything of special value, will be kept in a locked show case, and will be put in a safe at all hours during which the exhibition is closed to visitors. It will not be possible for us to re ceive any private cabinets or. collec tions, as our space . In the . mineral building will not admit, but all valu able or choice speclmsns , will be ac cepted from them and placed in show cases and proper credit given to the owners. In all such cases, however, It will be necessary for the owner to give a proper description of each speci men, as without Identity they are With out value. - All mine owners desirous of placing the name and location of their mines In the official World's Fair Catalogue should remit $10 to the undersigned without delay,- as but a short time yet remains before said official catalogue Is sent to the press. A valuable oppor tunity Is here offered you of advertis ing your properties. Mr. F. H. Rowe Is superintending the collection of exhibits In, Eastern Ore gon, and all ores and specimens from that section should be sent to htm at Baker City.
