The MerchaiM' Review of New York City, says: "Tl.e Commercial Edition of the Asto rlan, of Astoria, Oregon, echoing the opinions of all true friends of the Col unvbti River salmon Industry, says: "The practice of putting up fall salm on on tho Columbia River Is ono that i-iioull never bo allowed to con issue. Both common honesty and self-Interest ci'ght to deter the cannorymen from packing It, and, besides, It Is time that public opinion made Its Influence felt In such a way as to put a stop to a coune thlit can be looked at In no other llifht than most harmful to the Industry, and therefore harmful to a he Interests of the city and the state at large." The Review then gooa on to quote at considerable length! the balance of our remarks on this subject, and In con clusion says "We are 'with you' Mr. Astorlan, in your praiseworthy crusade, and we be lieve we speak within the mark In say ing that all tlNn grocers are opposed to fall fishing. The following journals, among the mit Influential trado pipars on the contlnoht, are quoting from tho Astorlan's columns and supporting Its position on the fall Ashing question evory week: "ST. LOUIS CKOCDR," St. Louis. "NEW ENGLAND GROCER," Boston. "THE TRADE," Baltimore. "ST. PAUL TRADE JOURNAL," St. Paul. "AMBRJCAN GROCER," New York. The St. Louis Interstate Orocer says: "The Oregon 'Astorlan, which has Jump ed to the front during the past year as the special champion of the Columbia River fishing Industry, In Its last Issue, ays that the fall fish, that is to say tho salmon caught In and peculiar to the Columbia River In the fall, from the first of September along till the end ot the year. Is not a (It article to present to the public In the guise of food. It is very nearly tasteless perhaps it would .he bettor if 4t were all tasteless and Its color Is neither healthy nor attract ive. In ehort, It Is a pivyed-out, and very badly dlKOgurcd Imitation of the Columbia River spring salmon, and to put such an article Into cans sent out from tills river is an outroire. Tho on.y way for the Astorlan to effect any geiv ulne reform would be to publish the names of the packers, middlemen, brok era or otherwise, 'Who put up fall salmon Publish the mime of tho man with the labels undur which he tends out these goods and It will soon stop the fraud.' With reference to this last quotation we dial re to say that the Interstate muHt not Imagine that the duty It points out to ui titiw not boon clearly apparent to the Astorlan from tho beginning, Rut, In view of the fact that publication of namvvt would Injure and probably kill the business of many packers, we have re frained from making this exposure up to the present time, more especially because wo know tint among the mn engaged In this work are some who, In tho spring sn.kon, put up execllc-nt and pure fish. No fair-minded nmii who has followed this controversy will say tint we have failed to point out livo evils of fall fish' Ing or given Inmifllclont earning. In view of tho attention the subject Is now receiving In tho trade journals and by tire public at large, and the direct do nvand msk upon us for specific Infor nutlon concerning those who are eng.ig ing In this illegitimate work, there la but one consistent course to pursue. In the next Issue of the Commercial Ato rUn, therefore, published on the 2Jd ot the ptvsont month, will appear the name of every oanner engaged In fall packlug at that date, the brands he packs, the methods he employs, and the kind ot hh hie dares to throw onto tho markets of 'America, undw the guise of food, We hope that, by next Monday, thla warning or threat (it Is Immaterial to ui in what light they look upon It) will be heeded by . these packers, who will thus save us from the performance of nn unpleasant duty. During tlNi last few days represcnta tlvnt of the Astorlan have, visited ths canneries where faH fish are being pack ed, and have been sickened find disgusted with what they have seen. Fully half of the naatetlal put into the cans would rot bp offered by any humane man to IXU OOg, iniS IS UIO JPiam -vavium imth. The outside skin of the flffc Is pink, tren, black and all tho colors of the rainbow. The flesh Is a dirty, flab by white, throwing off an offensive odor as soon as it Is touched by the knife, end not having enough; consistency or flrmntM to be cut w ithout tearing apart. The salmon has cither Just spawned, ana Is on the point of death from exhaustion, or it is just about to ipan and tho body, battered and bruised, Is full -of rlpenrd ovae. Before putting this dis puting material into cans the butchoYs have to skin, scrape, scrub, and wash It, and carefully throw out the most decay ed put.. What can w e say in the face of a i, , ii ' ike th's? How can we state of affairs like th's? How can we lu.if io inui.o liw tiuiuiiuii the fa- j tU effects of their fall fhthini operations, I If they have rot the senae or see thorn without our promptings or admonitions? But the one thing that is still left to us to do Is the publication of tho names of tho packers who thus violate all rules of business sense and fair dealing. We have exposed the methods. Now we must expose the m?n. WILL THE OPPORTUNITY BE LOST. With our usual slowness It seems that we are about to lose the benefit of ex ceptional advantages now offered to se cure a first class driveway or boulevard at a cost far below what the work cou'.d be done for In the future. It is under stood that the Pacific Paving company Is through with the concrete work on the reservoir and will In a few days remove the large crusher and heavy rol ler now In use there to Portland. Per haps not In years will such a large roller be In Astoria and on the hills again. To permit the removal of tho roller from Astoria would Keem a very short sighted policy on the part of tho city authorities, even though there should lie no occasion to use II this fall. It should be purchased by the city and kept here as It will be needed In street work right along. The city Is on the eve of a rapid growth and extensive street Im provements will be among the first work undertaken. The big 20-ton rock crusher ought to be utilized, and even should the authorities allow the present unex celled opportunity pass of paving the pipe line road ai work which ought to be undertaken at on:e, still they should have a large quantity of rock crushed and stored away for future use, beoauso it can now be done o cheaply. Or better still, let the crusher and engine bo pur chased, and then the el'y will be prepared for any work next season and In future years. It may be argued that to buy a thing simply because It 1s cheap Is not good business policy, but In the handling of munclpal1 affars where the cost of Im provements Is borne by the taxpayers, the rule does not always hold. Further more, at the present Juncture In Astoria's history the future must be provided for as well as the present, and the time is rapidly approaching when we shall have reason to regret not having provided ample means for securing good roads at the lowest possible cost. The ono thing above all others that should be done at once Is to macadam the pipe line, use the facilities at hand, put on a large force of men, complete the work this fall and then by next season when the move ment of better times comes on we 'Will already have laid the'' groundwork for those Improvements which more than anything else build up any city or com munity. Look at tho magnificent roads Just completed In New Jersey and other eastern mates, which It is estimated have already ltugc.'y aumented the wealth of tho jyyplc. Oregon, If ever any state did needs good roads, and her cities are peculiarly lacking In good stiveis, parks and boulevards, yet these, more than any other class of public Improvements, tend to bring wealth and happiness to a people. That city and tat community hlch shall first secure substantial streets and roads, parks and drives, will be sure to reap the benefit of now -and deslr ablo immigration. With a railroad, to be completed next year, and the large Immi gration which Is being worsted up by or ganized effort of societies formed for the purpose, Astoria should not be aslocp, nor wait till the wave of prosperity passes by, but . by Immediate action should prepare to secure her share of the increase and be at the front of the pro cession in all things pertaining to the progress and upbuilding of the commer cial supremacy wheh all hope to see soon established in Oregon and the whole Northwest. We have received from New Orleans tho startling Information that Columbia River salmon Is bolng offe.-vd In that city for 70 cents per doxen, f. o. b. Messrs G mil am & Boswell, the well known New Orloaiu brokers, have had these prices tendered them more than once. Just Im agine what filthy fall paoked trash such stuff must be! The price Itself, without the necessity of opening a can, should prove to any scnslnla buyer tho value of eueh a chwapjohn commodity. There are evidently, rascals all' round, for the nten that buy these goods must certain ly do It with their eyes open. Wo notice that tlu Democrats of the city are m eking to obtain control of the projected dally papor concerning which tho Astorlan .spoke several days ago. II Is well known that fur a long while tho Democrats htivo desired newspaper rcprcst million In Astoria, but as the only Journal whc.j support was worth having has been for twenty years solidly Re publican, tholr desires have always -c-malnt j uncatlnfled, The heavy rains lint have fallen in Clututop county for the past few days, coupled with the warnings of sundry an tique Indiana, and the forebodings of weather ivophets, all seem to hear Out the theory of an early and severe win tor, llu: in (his glorious country there Is no telling, and we may yet see i month of beautiful weather with a plen tiful ahr.re of guntahlne an ble sky.

The Eugene Guard says: Two cases of diphtheria are reported in the Wilson family, who reside at the old water sta tion back of the Butte. Marshal Day to day put up the yellow flag. The disease was contracted at Mranton hop yard near Waltervllle, and it is saiu mat large number of other persona have been exposed at that place.

A curlou feature of the case wi that Harper had deeded th county 131 acre of land on condition that It keep him at the poor farm as lone as he lived. This was ten years ago last May. The coun ty has the land, and It agreement with Hanper has been kept.

Mr. Jones Is in Portland buying machinery, and by.win ter the mill will be In running order." Congressman Bryan, says the T. M., visited the Herrlck cannery this morning, and was astonished at the quantity of fish It being bis first visit to the Columbia. He was presented with a can of salmon as a sample on his return to Nebraska, but the gentleman who selected It for him' gave him. instead a can of Oregon cayuse put up last spring. He remon strated with the donor about playing it low down on a stranger, but he squared himself by saying that 'Mr. Bryan could by a stretch of his Imagination make It Just as palatable as salmon." If the can was fall fish Mr. Bryan would not have to stretch tits Imagination very far. The municipality of Gold Hill has had a series of Internal dissensions and dis putes in the brief space of time since the legislature gave it corporate power anil control, says the Ashland Tidings. But the climax wan reached last week when a resident brought suit against the city to recover damages to tho amount ot flO in Justice (Richard's; court, on ac count of the loss of a hog against which the city recorder, In the absence of the marshal, hud attempted to enforce the Impounding crdlnanco made and provided to maintain the peace and dignity of ths municipal government. Great Interest was aroused at the trial of the case, Hanrlster .low. fHanwneralcy being re tained on behalf of tho owner of the razor back, while Hon. John Jeffery de fended the dignity Of the city. The death of th'a hog as a result of his disobedience of the city lawai was not disputed. Wit nesses swore that they saw the race be tween the recorder and the bog and also that they tow tho recorder strike the hog with a. certain deadly club, and moreover ten dollars was a low value on tho razor back, considering his speed, and Judge Richard In rendering his de cision gave a verdict for the plaintiff. The defendant gave notice of appeal, but meantime a compromise was effect ej, and the claim for damages with drawn, a subscription was raised to pay tlio costs, and peace and dignity onco more reigned supreme. Su-wjp-a-to, an aged Indian from Okanogan, says that winter will' set in earlier this year than for a long time past. He has discoursed wlthi old men from great distances In all directions, and such wa their unanimous opinion. Su-w-ap-a-to is not an astronomer, In the Nonpj th it white people understand that term, yet by long experience and little elfo to do but make ohserwulons and store up results In his memory, he Is equipped with a fund of knowledge as to I weather nlsns, which In his Judg.tienf j are Infallible. "The Great Spirit," he I said, "gave men plenty of 'horses, but i they stole his lightning and killed the ', eultan for food. Then the wheel came. Even with these old eyes of mine, ana with sick tum-tum, I saw Indian boys from th'n school, side by side with whltu fuced klooehmen, dressed In breech-clouts, riding man style, before the wind.

Next morning when the sun rose from a troubled sleep two sundogs sit on his right and left hand. He turned them loo-e to roam over all the sky and warn the good spirits to go to their- wigwams. Tlw sun pulled a black "blanket over his f.ico and Its folds spread across the sky. Behind It the dogs growled all day, and the llttl'e lightning there was left was poured out nn the world.

"Mary," said Farmer Flint at the breakfast table as he asked for a secomt cup of coffee, "I've made a discovery." "Well, Cyrus, you're about the la.t one I'd expect of such a thing, but what la It?" "I have found that the heavy end of a match Is the light end," responded Cyrus with a grin that would have adorned a kuH.

Today there are probably but to notes of that Issue extant. One is In the British Museum and rho other In the possession of the Oriental Society of St. Petersburg. These notes were Issued In the reign of Hung Woo, the founder of tho Nlng dynasty, who died in 131)8. The face value of the note 1s about a dollar, and that issue of paper currency was the only cne ever guaranteed by the Chinese gov ernment.

Lung Diseases and Rheumatism ffiany Remarkable Cures The objections urged against Indio In the past by the large numbers who otherwise would have been glad to tak advantage of Its beneficial climate, has been a lack of suitable accommoda tion. The Southern Pacific Company, takes pleasure In announcing that sev eral Commodious and Comfortable Cottages have just been erected at Indio sta tion, that will be rented to appllcunts at reasonable rates. They are fur nlthed with modern conveniences, sup plied with pure artesiau water, and so situated as to gove occupants all the advantages to be derived from a more ur less protracted residence In this de lightful climate. (From the San Francisco Argonaut.) "In the heart of the great desert of the Colorado which the Southern Pa cific road traverses there Is an oasis called Indio, which, In our opinion. It the sanitarium of the earth. We be lieve, from personal investigation, that for certain invalids, the'e is no spot oi this planet so favorable." CI. T. Stewart, M. D., writes: "The purity of tho air, and the eternal sun shine, till one with wonder and delight. Nature has accomplished so much that there remains but little for man to do. As to Its possibilities as a health resort, here is the most per fect sunshine, with a temperature al ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil for rain is an unknown factor: pure oxygen, deneo atmosphere and pure water. What more can be desired? It is the place, above all others, for lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu matics. Considering the number of sufferers who have been cured, I have no hesitancy In recommending this genial oasis as the haven of the afflict ed."
