A paper in the Finnish language will soon be started in Astoria. It will be independent in politics and devoted to the interest of the Fin nish people. o Jlilltnry Target Range. Col. Thos. C. Smith, commanding the second regiment, O. X. G., has jut received the plans of the third regiment target range at The Dalles, from Col. C. E. Morgan, the commander of that regiment, and is now casting about for some person willing to donate suitable ground near this city, for a range nere. A 250 yard level range with n bluff at the rear is the most desirable ground, and there should be some one near town with such ground who would be willing to donate it to the regiment for that purpose. Col. Smith has his eyes open, how ever, and will probably succeed in getting a satisfactory range soon, when the target, shooting box and markers, house will be built, and target practice begun. - The Farmers' Alliance. At 2 o,clock to-day, delegates from all the counties in the "Willamette valley gathered at the opera house, and organized a farmers' congress, which will probably become a branch of the farmers' allainco of the United States.

Miller, Ferguson and Minto were appointed n committee to re port by-laws to the next meeting.

It is an item that reminds tho writer how time Hies, and how our works live after us. This item was written and appeared in this paper about tho 18th of May last, and recited tho fact that Hon. C. C. Beekmau had just presented warrants for a largo sum of money, to the State Treasurer. Verily, this is "news as is news," and the older nows is the better. ' For the Seaside.

The university campus was tho scone of a happy gathering last eve ning, tho occasion being a lawn sociable, and concert under the auspices of the literary societies. The lawn was beautifully lighted with Chinese lanterns, and the music by the Second Regiment band was very enjoyable. After dusk, the air growing rather cool, the chapel of tho university Avas thrown open, the band stationed on the platform, and the music continued until after ten o'ciock. Keiresuments were served on the lawn. The attendance was very large. CLASS EXAMINATIONS. At 9 o'clock this morning, the uni versity bell sounded, and scholars and visitors repaired to Prof. Ar nold's room, where ho examined a class of 23 in the science of civil gov ernment.

Tho three branches of government and their various functions; the mode of electing officers and their terms of service; tho basis of representation in the lower house of congress, and the general principles and practices of our federal form of government were rehearsed with readiness by the class. The name of the presi dent was given, and when the pro fessor asked who would be his suc cessor, the names of Blaine and Cleveland were mentioned with great promptitude, and elected. At 10 o'clock Miss Cunningham began a;roview of her class in En glish grammar, and Prof. Jory ex amined his students in analytical geometry. The grammar students showed themselves well iuformed in the nomenclature of their study, wrote different classes of sentences on the blackboard and then dia grammed orparsedthem. Prof. Jory's room also drew a number of vis itors to hear and see his class demon strate tho relations and properties of geometrical magnitudes. The last hour of the forenoon was taken up by Prof. Starrand his class in an excursion to the celestial bodies, and a! description of their magnitudes, motions, distances, periods of revolution and other nat ural phenomena.

This Is the evidence of every visitor. Salem is picturesquely laid out, on a natural slope which extends back from the river. Salem has beautiful broad streets. Salem has splendid shado trees in profusion. Salem has many elegant homes, surrounded by wido lawns, well cared for, within which enclosures grow all sorts of beautiful ilowers. shrubs, trees and vines indigenous and exotic. Salem has handsome public build ings, around which are spacious grounds in a poor state of repair. fcalem has excellent business blocks, in which are kept for sale everything one would think to wish for, almost. Salem's roadways are in a good condition for travel. Salem has numerous and hand some churches, and the best educa tional institutions in the stato. Salem has many other very attrac tive features, among which perhaps the greatest Is our climate. But tills city lias one thing which, unless attended to soon, will act as a "counter irritant" and an "anti dote" for any one who might other wise be Induced to tarry with us. Skirting numerous blocks in this city and notably the blocks on Stato street between Winter ami 12th and on 12th street between Stato and Mill, are someof the worstIdewalks ever walked over by any body In a city of Salem's pretensions. This walk adjoins tho property of one of the wealthiest institutions of learn ing in the state, and by Its side is a "tumble down, gone-to-rack-and-ruin fence" that;is a disgrace to tho town. This last might be removed, and no damaage bo done. The former should be repaired. In numerous other parts of the city, the walk is as bad. Adjoining the Congregational church property, Is a bad piece of walk ; on the north side of Chemekcta street, between Cottage and Church, and many other places. The Journal would like to seo Improvements all around the city. At least the sidewalks should be made safe for pedestrians. Let's fix up the walks! 3UCISr.Ul-lK)CS.
