They could see noth ing but a dense fog and enow. Night came and they were Btill lost. They tramped until hunger and weariness com pelled them to stop. Huddling behind a pile of rocks, ithey finally decided' to spend tlhe rest of the might there and wait for the fog to raise. Here the party nearly froze to death. The wind blew so hard that the only way they could keep their blankets from blowing away was by loading them with heavy stones. But morning came and they again found their trail, and late Moo.day after noon reacted the Camp of Clouds, frost bitten, starved and worn out. Ir.

Jefferls delivered a sermon on the summit last Sunday, tntftied, "The Ser mon on the Mount." THE HAWAIIAN CABLE. It Is Believedi that a New Proposition Will Be Accepted, San Francisco, August 17.

THE NEW HOTEL SITE Trulleiiger's Point Beautiful and Convenient. PLANS ARE BEING CONSIDERED The Taylors Offer Depot Location Just at Hand Both Loca-. lions Are Good. Among the many strangers recently vlsitdng the city, Investigating the va rious enterprises and proposed Improve ir.erots of all kinds to take place here, the principal topic dOscusBtid by them has been the necessity for a first-class hotel. There is perhupis nothing which gives so bad an ampresaloin. to a stranger in any ctty as Its lack of proper hotel aocomlmoU.it Ions. Take It todlay, and whac has Astoria to show that Is ade quate to meet the demands .upon her hoapdtaMJty? For several weeks past ev ery room in Its principal hotel has been occupied and in many cases vtoltors have had to speak for quarlters a number of days in advance. WW'h tlhe regatta com ing on this week it would have been an extremely difncult matter to have hous ed all of the visitors Who are expected, had It not been for the hospitality of the o.'tlaetiB, who have most generously open ed their huimes to receive, the Influx of people. Upon the eve of a phenomenal conumer olot growth, and a .rapid Increase of pop ulation, capitalists (hiive seen that there Is no better opening for the empluyment of money thiini Its Investment la a first class hotel, til alt wl'.l not only be, a mat ter of pride to the city, but furnish ample accommodations tJo the travelling public and the numberless visitors sure to be attracted to so Important a business cen ter. Dertnllte plans are being considered for the erection of such a hotel. Its site Is a, matter of extreme Impotrance; not ony convenience to the busltittse cen ter, but its location as to surroundings, which will' make it atitiuctlve to the guests, as welt as an ornament to the city, are essential features. Such a lo cation has bean offered by the Trullln gers. They propose to give the beauti ful knoll upon Bond Street, footing the bay,, Just at the head f the lt'ttle cove near Elfrforo's cU'nnei'jc, for the purpose. ' Here are to. be found all the elements of natural beauty, combined' with con venience of access. The site is high above the water amid affords a grand view of the entire toy. The drainage must be tlhe beat, and one great polnlt, that of heaMh, wilt be sccuml. Being only six minutes walk firom the center of town, the matter of convenience , cannot 'be questioned. Just In front of ithls property Is the water frontage offered by the Taylors to Mr. Hammond Cor a depot site. With dharuoteristlc llberolllty, these gentlemen have proposed to donate about 1500 feet of waiterlironit on either side of the El more cannery, for tlhe location of the dapot, and have given Mr. Hammond his choice of the two. . Should the depot be located at either of the two places, no mdstuke could be made la bulildlng the hotel on the point above. In any event the hotel site is unexcelled from any point of view. The miatter Is being .nost seriously oonsMiered and; In ail proba bility Astoria will j-wort have a guest house 'that will be t'o its credit. The Daily Astorian positively guaran tees to advertisers a larger City circulation than all other papers published in Astoria combined. THE DEEP RIVER HOMICIDE, Additional ParlUcutui of thie Sad Acd dieint.

"Where do false teeth come from," said a member of the Dental Associa tion which met In this city the oth'.r day, echoing a question put to him by a reporter. "Wouldn't you like to know? Most people, I Imagine, thlr.k that all Highest of all b Leavening Power,-Latest U.S. Gov't Report 1 false teeth are made from, ivory. TnaC Is qulto w mistaken Idea, as the m ijodiy of false teeth are now made frum any thing but ivory. Large quantities of walruses' tusike are imported for no other purpose than that they may bs mad, lnt- falsa teeth. .You go Into some big dentai establishment where teeth are mad, a.Ml you will dbubtlkss find the remains of walrus tusks lying around; and indeed a highly polished tooth maclo from a wal rus tusk is Just as handsome, althougn not so lasting, as an Ivory one. "A dientlet once came to me for an elephant's tusk, which he knew I ha J, and from which he wanted to make a good set of permanent teeth for a weal thy client: of his. He was to spar no expense. I sold him the tusk, which be lrg am especially good ono, brought $12.50 a pound, the usual price, being from fcJ.So to $3.60 per pound. I afterwards learned that the dentist made $500 out of that set of teeth. "Of course it would b? impossible for dentists tor sell teeth so cheaply as they do now If the teeth were all made from elephant's tusks,. As a matter of fact, so many people are now wearing false teeth, that I doubt if the Ivory suitable for this purpose would ever be found. I am told a good many falav teeth are r.ow being mad'o from vegetable ivory, Ivorine, etc. If so, the price of teeth must naturally go down, and In timet the toothless one will probably be able to replenish his imouth for an absurdly row Bum. A eet of tefth for $1.25," con cluded the dentist, laughing, "would cer ate a boom In false tevth." The Daily Aslerian positively guaran tees to adiertistrt a larger City and Counti circulation than all ether papers published in Astoria combined. ' AN ANCIENT TOAD. ImbedHfed in a Solid Rock He Had Lived ' Thousands of Years, f - St. Louis Rl public ( Workmen engaged in laying lihe found ation ot; a large factory at Leeds, Eng land, had occasion to split an Immeruja section of tljon'e known as "millstone grit." The stone was a section, of pi r-fectly- sound and compact reck, oloje graiined and solid. After the wedges anrt hammars had laid It open It Was found" that one half contained a cast of a perfl.ct'ly round ball and that the cithr contalned the ball Itself. The spherical, rriasa appeared to be of a pulttylike, yed loiwilsh clay, slightly drted ohi the out side, probably from the iexpos-ure the block of etons had been, subjected to aflter being taken frctm the quarry. One of the workmen, mora curious than thlj others. Hook a trowel and removed the clay ball and then cracked; ft open to ascertain it t oontaJned crystals, aa such balls frequently do. To the sur prlre of the lweatifii.itor, hewever, and that of hills companions who had n'ot ex hibit! d sufficient curiosity to make such a critical examination, l't was found that that It-he ball contained la live toad' or frog. The creature was torpid and al most JiKblonJees, but alive Just the same. After a felw moments 4a fresh air, and being subjeeltedJ to a refreshing ba'.lh from Ithe water Jug, the toad begun, to stretch out hlls legs and lndalte his body, Whereupon It was found that he wan al mofeit twin 'the tllze'cf the rJatlve Brlt Ifih toad. - - . , This surprltilnw ditt'twery was made In the evening while gentlemen ;weca stand ing alboult walx'hlnir the maisoms at their work. Among theise was a son of Prof. W.A.WIXlUims. Young WU'l'irm'a called out to the man who made the discovery that he would give him a sovereign for his prize, the clay cast and the stone In Which iV was found. This price was con sidered ampllj and the antldiluvlan toad and the home he occupied for so many hunillreuB of years are now safely renting on thv shelvca In tine museum of the Leeds Geological ImatltuKe. According to the scientists the mill stone grit is the oldest of the secondary rocks, and must have been formt'd cea turica betfore the d-eluge. The only ex planlaltlon of this strange discovery is that tlhe toad was rolled up in a clay bait and that thia millstone grit hardened around him. Thus sealed up he had lived In a Uoxpld atute for thousands of years. GOLDBECK'S PIANO RECITAL. ' One of the Features of the Silver Lake Asa.'mbCy. Silver Lake, N. Y., July 26th (Social 'to Uhe JournaO-Robert Goldbeck, the composer and p.anist, gave the fliat of his summer recitals l"ast evening, before ' an enthusiastic audience of over three thousand people, w'n-o made the vast au ditorium ring with tlhelr hearty applause. It was the most auccesiful rectteal ever glvea In the auditorium, as heretofore the pianos used were not sutllciently re sonant to All the large building and the audiences rwere small because only those in the front seats could hear. The suc cess of Mr. Gotdlbeck's recital was large ly due to the Kimball grand piano which he used, and the pure tone of which was as plainly heard in the rear as in the front row. It Is certainly a wo.iderful Instrument and the fact of the manage men securing such an Instrument and thus enabling evety part of the audi ence to enjoy the concetks will bring out larger numbers than have ever before attended. Mr. GoMbeck la o be con gruitulated on the success of his first appearance, and the maoagememt are to ba congratulated on securing such a pi ano as tlhe Kimball, iwitlfoout m-h-lch Hilf of the enjoyment would be lost.
