(3) glis BinlQ &siBx?ivu ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY .. MAY 12, 18& San Francisco weather. Astoria Engine Co., No. 1, will hold a Bpecial meeting this evening. There will be a special meeting of Council No. 005, A. L. of H.f this evening. Ruddock & Levake have received some fine gas fixtures which they advertise. The Oregon arrived in from S. F., yesterday afternoon. The Queen sails this morning. H. B. Parker has some A 1 cedar shingles for sale. Also lime, cement, brick and sand. The A. B. Field sails for Tilla mook from Slain street wharf at six o'clock this morninsr. The schooner Sparrow, loaded with redwood lumber from Eureka, Cal., is in the stream. "Two hundred people are taken in here overy day In tho week." Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Services in the Scandinavian lan guage each Saturday night at 8 o'clock, in the Methodist church. Portland printers are goinj to picnic June 10th. Down here we picnic every day in the year. Last Wednesday the agent at St. Paul sold the first through ticket to Portland over the Northern Pacific Judjje Bonham, of Salem, is in the city. This is his first visit to Astoria, though a resident of the state for thirty years. R. M. Wooden was in the city yesterday, and said he was "in after a dentist to bring him out and pull every tooth on the Nehalem." The bark Byevale finishes loading to-day, and will immediately proceed up stream. She has been chartered to load flour, and possibly salmon. The assessment roll of King coun ty, W. T., makes a very good show ing. In 1882, the aggregate was 3, C85.565; in 1883 it is $8,810,200. Frank Fabro advertises that he has an ice depot, and will accommo date all who wish it at 2& cents a pound. He also makes excellent- ice cream. Capt. John C. White, 1st. Art., is in San Francisco. He has been granted permanent leave of absence, pending histurn to bo placed on tho retired list. Tho First National bank of As toria will begn operations within thirty days. An election of officers takes place next week. I. W. Case will bo the manager. There is trouble in tho Portland post office. W. L.

Anderson, on trial in Portland for the murder of Archie Clarke, tho jury last Thursday brought in a verdict of "man slaughter." Anderson will receive his sentence next Monday. The Shubrich was coaling at Fla Tel's wharf yesterday. To-morrow she goes to tho buoy depot, and will start on a cruise to the south as far as Capo Blanco, ieplacing buoys, etc. Captain Davis will go on a tour of in spection. Tho Occident and Parker House are being fixed up in good shapo for tho season. The Parker Houso is having considerable addition and im provement, and is now one of the lar gest hotels in the northwest, being 50x138 feet, and containing over eighty rooms. Tho first Masonic Lodge institu ted on the Pacific coast was Multno mah No. 1, at Oregon City, tho second was "at the Sandwich Islands, the third at Sacramento, the fourth at San Francisco, the fifth at Marysville, and the sixth one was at Sacramento. Standard. Delegates and firemen in atten dance at tho forthcoming meeting of the Firemen's Association and tourna ment to be held at Salem will be granted a reduction of 80 per cent, on return tickets over the lines of the "H. P. R. R., the O. R. & N. Co., and tho P. C. S. S. Co., upon tho presen tation of certificates signed by the secretary, stating that they have been in attendance, otc. Fire apparatus will bo' returned free on like certifi cates. An exporter expresses the opin ion that freights for October and No vember loading will be 70s per ton in the Columbia river. That is too high a figure to give producers much show. There is already considerable tonnage in the Columbia river and at San Francisco, and it will augment before harvest comes, but the surplus of forty millions of bushels to be export ed calls for a great fleet to handle it. It is not possible to make close calcu lations on a point 60 iudefinito as crops three months before harvest, and ships that havo not pointed this way. Willamette Farmer. Tho Columbia Water Company. D. P. Thompson who has been su perintending the construction of the Co lumbia Water Company's works, went to Portland yesterday. The men aro at present working at Bear Creek, about ten mile3 southeast of the city and about three miles back from tho Col umbia. At this point the creek or river debouches into a lake of some six or eight acres in extent, which acts as a natural reservoir for the wa ter. About a mile below the lake the main pipe, a ten inch tube, will begin. This source of supply is 412 feet above sea level. The pipe runs down Bear creek, through A. C. Fisher's place, and comes out at Burusido's place, thence along the shore to Tongue point, and down the beach to Upper Astoria, where minor pipe3 will be laid. From there pipes will be laid to the reservoirs which are to be built in the neighborhood of Cockecomb hill, one of which will be 250 feet above tho city, the other, the Welch reservoir, enlarged. For the present the water will come exclusive ly fromBear creek, tho waters of which are reported puro and wholesome. As the city increases in size should this supply prove inadequate in a few yeara, Mr. Thompson can lay other mains from Young's river falls. He calculates that he can supply a city of 125,000 people with pure sparkling water, and by the nature of the work so far demonstrates his faith in our future. Tho works will be in opera tion as soon as tho largest number of men which can be employed to advan tage can complete them. Consider able difficulty has been experienced in getting teams, and material on tho ground, but this season will assuredly see Astoria supplied with an abund ance of pure water. Asking Some Questions- En. Asteeiax: I would mako a suggestion to three "seaport" towns, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. Did you hear from Mr. Villard at Walla Walla? Didn't you know be fore that railroading was not practi cable from cast of the Cascade moun tains only through the pass of the great Columbia river -by way of The Dalles, Portland, Columbia City, WestporU Clifton, Knappa and so to Astoria the seaport of the North west. Stampede pass, the lowest pass to Pugot Sound, is not practical for freight handling. When a railroad reaches Columbia City by way of Portland that road is within CO miles of Astoria. Can you mako a land lubber believe that a railroad train can be ferried across the Columbia river, then 110 miles over rail to Tacoma, then tow ships 150 miles from the ocean and that freight can be thus handled cheaper than by taking CO miles direct to Astoria without crossing the Col umbia river and reach deep water at Astoria's docks that are free from the ravages of the teredo; where there is safe anchorage and quick dispatch. When tho railroad is connected be tween Corvallis and Junction, and be tween Roseburg and Redding, and the Northern Pacific connected, will peo ple and freight enmc by way of Union and Central Pacific rail to San Francisco, then steamer to Portland, or will they como direct by the Northern Pacific to eastern Oregon and Washington and Idaho. The question is certainty a very easy one. Gentlemen do you understand? SOTA BULLWIIACKEU NOW. The Coming Fourth. When in tho course of human events the anniversary of our national inde pendence approaches, a due regard for the eternal Gtness of things impels us to suggest that Astoria celebrate the coming Fourth of July in a man ner befiting the occasion. Last year the Fireman's tournament was the feature of the occasion. We all had a good time, everybody went home satisfied. This year wc know of nothing except a grand ball and pa rade of the Knights of Pythias, which is contemplated. There are several reasons why Astoria should celebrate the 107th anniversary of tho nation's birthday, aud no reason why it should not. One prominent citizen yester day, in speaking about it, said: "I'll put my name down for $50, when ever tho paper comes round." Let us celebrate. Death, of a Pioneer. Wednesday, about noon, says the Salem Statesman, P. S. Herren, aged about fifty-one years, known by old settlers of this country as "Sim" Her ren, died suddenly at his brother's residonco, J. B. Herren. Ho crossed the plains in tho year 1845, together with his father's family, comming by what is known as the "Moek'a cutoff." Ho leaves a wife and four children, who are now at Colfax, Washington Territory for the last fifteen years. At one time he and his eldest son pub lished a newspaper at Spokano Falls, Washington Territory. The fnneral took place Thursday. Tho Gen. Galiby is advertised to make an excursion trip to Fort Canby, and llwaco, to-morrow. Delicious Ice Cream at Frank Fa- bre's. Go to the O. K. Lodging House corner WesMtth and Water streete. Last Evening's Entertainment. Liberty Hall was crowded last evening: and those present en joyed an intellectual treat Tho en tertainment began by an overture "Murmuring of the Forest," per formed by a quartette, Miss Nellie Flavel, piano, Prof. A- L. Francis, violin, D. A. Mcintosh, cornet, Mr. Neff, bass viol, which was well re ceived. A recitation "Liquor Traffic" by Edith May Conn was rendered in that little lady's inimitable style; and was followed by a song "Mag netic Waltz," by Miss Katie Fla vel whose clear, musical voice gives evidence of rare vocal talent. In response to an encore tho singer gave Comin' through tho Rye." Miss L. L. Allen's recitation, "An old story" was warmly applauded, when the famous "Broom Drill," was given by twelve young Misses under the captainship of Miss Worsely. Thoso who claim that ladies cannot learn army tactics should havo seen the ease and dexterity m which those young ladles handled their favorite household exercise. The marching and counter-marching of these little folks reflected credit upon themselves and their fair captain and elicited the continuous applause of tho audience. Follow ing are the namo3 of tho divisien: Agnes Stockton, Annie Callender, Olga Heilborn, Rosetta Sherman, Zoo Carruther3, Minnie Warren, Alice Stockton, Myra Stevens, Ethel Morrjman, Katy McKean, Alice Wood, Ella Belcher. The second part was opened by a song, "In the meads," well executed by Mr. Gillig, after which came a selection from the "Bohemian girl," Mrs. Mcintosh, piano; Prof. Francis, violin; Mr. Mcintosh, cornet; Mr. Neff bass viol. A feature of this se lection was the rendering of the obli gato, "Then you'll remember mo." The favorite duet "Larboard Watch" was sung by Mis3 Katie Flavel, and -Mr. Gillig, and heartily applauded, after which Miss Dickinson, in a pleating recitation, answered tho query "What then?" Following this, Miss Katie Flavel again favored tho audience with a song "What are they to do?" Tho en:er tainment closed with "Tho Caliph of Bagdad," Miss Nora Wilson, piano; Prof. Francis, violin; Mr. Mc intosh, cornet; Mr. Neff, bass Tiol. Tho performance was an artistic suc cess throughout,and fully demonstrated the fact that Astoria is not wholly destitute of sufficient talent to pro duce a fino entertainment, even on such short notice as this had.
