Had the men known that Immediately be
low the fire, and within a foit or two
of the burning woodwork, was stowed
76 gallons of gasoline, they might not
have been so eager tp f.ave the boat from
destruction. Had the gasoline exploded It
is not likely any of the fire laddies would
have been here to tell the tale.
In returning to tho engine house, In the
dark, one of the engine horses fe'l over
board, striking on the rocks below with a
force which knocked him sense'ess. Ho
soon recovered, however, and with much
labor the animal was fished out, and
yesterday did not show any Blgns of be
ing much the worse for his midnight
plunge.
Credit is due to the company for the
manner of handling the fire as well as
fishing out their good horse so carefully.
" THE NEW LINE,
Will Be Ready to Operate About Janu
ary 6.
Mr. Geo. F. Hueson, superintendent of
construction, and Mr. J. R. Clark, the
local manager for Astoria, of the Postal
Telegraph Co., were in the cily yester
day and completed arrangements for the
opening of the new line.
The work of construction eaBt from
Kuappa Into Gobie, which has been
greatly retarded by the unusually severe
weather, will be completed in a few days,
and then the line will be brought down
from off the hill at the head of 9th street
and run into tho new office. It Is ex
pected that the first message will be sent
to Portland not later than January 6th.
The office will be at the rear of the

BUTTER RATES.
Editor Astorian.
Not long since the Hera'd hid quite a
lengthy editorial In praise of the White
Cellar Line of uteam boats. That th'y
had gentlemanly employes, finest r-onts,
best service, etc. The writer w'll admit
eyy of the above to be true ex-'ept the
finest boat. The fare Is reasonable, nnd
the freight rates to merchants of $1.50
per ton Is reasonable also.
Put when a farmer ships nny prod'iee
of bis farm, the cinch is applied to hlrn
(probably) to learn htm better than to
dare to ship anvthlng rut of Cl-'l cp coun
ty. Fifty cents Is charged on n 50 p und
box cf butter: $1.00 on n lfO-pinnd box.
It Is a cent a pound, no ninti.r what
the size of the pael-age Is. Our l"cal
steamers "luirare half o' these rn"s. So
It costs $10 per ton to AstoHa, ard $?0.OO
per ton from Astoria to Portla"d J.10 per
ton for about 125 miles. We don't -al
these living rates (only for the staboat
company). We can ship to Liverpool for
los money.
In conclusion, brother ilal-ymen.- let roe
teU you: The Potter or the Lu'ine charge
only half of the rate mentioned n'we,
and they alo have I'ne beats end gen
tlemanly otneers. DAIRYMAN
