ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY. .AUGUST 12.1RS3 Work upon the Yaquina railroad has been suspended. John Behr died at EaBt Portland lad Friday, from an orerdoBo of chlo ral hydrate. Rev. J. V. Milligan preaches in the First Presbyterian church at Port land this morning. The VktorU Francisco to-day. j duo from San She brings Astoria i freight? but no mail. A Salem drunk, armed with a jack knife, attacked and tore down the calaboose there last week. Our friends in the interior, at Salem, Portland, Oregon City and elsewhere are sadly inconvenienced by tho present low stage of the river. At nine o'clock this morning tho Clara Parker will leavo Parker's Dock for Young's River Falls, affording ev eryone an opportunity for a pleasant trip. The Grasmtrt which discharged 521 tons on barges, started up stream yesterday, but as she still draws 15i feet it is doubtful if she will make the riffle. Dispatches sent to parties in this city from New York on tho 1st inst., reached here yesterday. ''The com pany's business is not delayed by the strike.' Chaplain Scott preaches at 11 a. u.t to-day at the Baptist church. Lectures to the young people to-night upon "emergencies and how to meet them." . The Ulcnbertic has 14,U0U cases salmon aboard and will take on about 8,000 more: the Kate F. Troup has 25,000 cases on board, which is about half her cargo. It is believed that the entire pack ot fish at tho J?raBer river canneries this season will not much exceed 40,- imu cases. JLast year the pack was about 190,000. A man with two salmon in his possession and who was said to be heading for a restaurant fo dispose of them, was arrested yesterday morning, and will be examined to-morrow. The German Evangelical Reform od congregation will celebrate the Lord's supper at the Baptist church at 3 o'clock this afternoon. John Gaxtexbeix, Pastor. Oregon's three great shipments for tho season of '83 have been wheat, salmon and flour; the value of tho wheat is $3,510,457; of the salmon, $3,148,190; of the flour, $2,302,402. Of the Cascades canal Capt Pow ell says it is estimated that $1,655,395 will be required for the completion of the work, and that $500,000 can probably be expended within tho next year. The coming and going of steamers, the transfer of cargoes, and the move raent ot ships make the stream in front of the city as busy appearing a piece of water as can be found north of San Francisco. The treasury department has is sued an order that all shipmasters or their agents shall file, before leaving port, a full manifest of the cargo car ried for the benefit of the statistical department of the government. Tho latest rumor is that as soon as the K&lama branch is finished the wholo force will be transferred to For est Grove, and twelve miles of track laid before congress meets. As thiB has not as yet been confirmed by the great receiver of dispatches who vis its us occasionally, it is entitled for that reason to a certain amount of credence. Over $820,000 in mortgages havo been taxed in Clackamas county. Many of them have been paid, but no evidence of the payment can be found on the records. That is the case in several other counties in the state, and will occasion considerable trouble, with tho ultimate result that the state will make and the counties will lose the difference. The trials and tribulations of newspaper men are a favorite theme among that much abused class of pub lie philanthropists, but it remains for the Chehalis Nugget to produce some thing unique in the line of disaster. Wandering hogs have come along, and eaten up- the press rollers, made of glue and molasses, and the Ifuggtt man can't print his paper. Among the humorous incidents of the telegrapher's strike, the story is told that a gentleman was expecting to receive a dispatch from a neighbor ing city last week, stating that a young lady relative was cominc on to visit the family. He received the dispatch aad it read: "Mary cannot come She has a child.' He was astounded, and telegraphed for an explanation wmcn came thus: "She has had an other child.". This time his request for an explanation was more explicit It brought the needed correction from the green telegraph operator: "For child read chill." He lice te the Public. Atter the i2tu mst.i win close my Restaurant ara ociock in xne evening, .... . K.JJIIOX. Shot Him in the Hip. , Word came yesterday afternoon that a man named Smith had been shot at Brookfield, W. T., and was in a dying condition. Two physi cians who had been sent for went up on a special boat and yes terday evening returned with tho wounded man on the Got. Ciistcr. It seems that two residents of Brook field named Ashley and Smith have had some difficulty for some time which, resulted about seven o'clock yesterday morning in Ashley meeting Smith on the road and shooting him, the load of buckshot strik- ing him in tho right hip. inflicting a terrible wound. Smith was brought to tho hospital immediately upon his arrival here, and some fifteen buck shot picked out of his flesh. The chances are that Ue will get over it. Fire Election There will be an election to-morrow for chief engineer and first and second assistant engineers of the Astoria firo department. Messrs. Hicks, Charters and Cleveland are the only candi dates we have thus far heard men tioned. The polls will bo open at the house of Astoria No. 1 , from ten to four. A. A. Cleveland, C. P. MofOt and Jas. Macombcr will be judges of the election. The postoHice here is at present rnnning on a short supply of stamps The postal authorities at Washington have no conception of the require ments of this coast. Postmaster Chance made a requisition for supplies a few weeks ago, and they sent him just half of what he ordered. Other postoffices are in the same fix. The new boat building for Capt. Gray at East Portland has been sold by him to the Shoalwatcr Bay Trans portation company. it will come down the river this week and will ply on the waters of Gray's harbor. W. H. Clough will be the engineer; he will remove with his family to Monte- sano as soon as the boat gets running, and make that place his future home. In the circuit court yesterday in the cast of the state vs. Jos. San vones, the jury found the defendant guilty; he will be sentenced to-morrow. In the case of tho state vs. Ah Sin, charged with stealing, the Celestial plead guilty, and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. In the case of the state vs. Sheen, charged with robbery from a drunken man, the jury acquitted the defendant. The possibilities m the matter of drives yearly increase. One can now go from Alderbrook almost to Smith's Point. The extension of the road below the West Shore mills, and the grading of the shore line from the Washington Packing Co.'s cannery westward, gives opportunity for a good ride in buggy or on horseback. When our street railroad gets running, and cars leave every half hour for Skipanon and the seaside, it will bo a long step in advance. The Odd Fellows Temple will bo dedicated at eight o'clock next Tues day evening. There will be an excur sion to the cape, for member of the order, leaving Gray's dock at half past eleven, xuesuay morning, it is ox pected that tho Astoria Odd Follows will provide lunch for themselves; the visiting members will bo cared for by the committee of arrangracnts. The first boat for tho picnic grounds will start at seven o clock, aim it is sug gested that as many as possible go at that hour.

How She was welcomed at Carbon ate Camp in the Far West June 30 was a day of jollification at Carbonate, Col., being the advent of the first wagon, the first woman and the first board from the mill. It would have been interesting to tho reader to have witnessed the electri fying effect on the men in the camp when word was passed along the line that a woman was coming. Long be fore sho was within a milo of tho camp knots of men wcro gathered watching, looking in here aud there the direction from whence the wagon was to come. As she hove in sight each one gathered around his or their camp as when an alarm had been sounded in a prairie dog town. When within a few yards of the outside hab itation the woman alighted, and ac companied by her husband, proceeded' toward the county clerk's office, (It had been advertised that the dona tion of a town lot would be given the first woman who came in.) Curious eyes were watching her every step as she approached the clerk's quarters. But the crowd which had gathered around the ofiico for mail receded re spectfully each side of the entrance. As she passed in, Colonel Ferguson serenely loomed up, and sailing out among the boys, agitated a recep tion. Seized by the inspiration, 100 hats were removed, trom neaas oi noDie structure and design, siluriated some what, perhaps, and 100 horny palms passed over the unkempt locks to smooth them down, vests were pulled down and 100 pairs of eyes ran down the respective owners' "digging clothes," proudly inspecting the ine vitable "ball-stltch" which rejoined the dismembered seam or held in place the patch of conspicuous dimen sions. xy a look ot common consent the Colonel was the man selected to make the reception speech. Lneasi- plumiug his mustache with carbon ate-stained fingers, the Colonel ap proached her, and, followed by the uncovered heads, he inadvertently yanked a frog from his throat and began: "Respected Madame" and 100 heads nodded tsaent. Appealing again to his mustacho for the needed inspir ation, the colonel resumed aguin: 'Respected Madame The illuminat ing spectre of this most fascinating oc casion " And 100 heads bobbed se renely again in assent. Pluming again the source of inspiration, the haltin colonel staggered on: "Footprints of thine, which have first fallen on our carboniferous soil, we welcome thee. Mercury in her aorial flight trails through tho starry architraves of heaven, to trail over the silurian out crons of Garfield county, which has become sacred to us from toil, vicissi tudes and privations. It is ours by right of discovery, and you are wel come. Wo are conversant with your sex, ana some or us nave ocen victim ized.

For months wo havo been surrounded by the beauti ful crystalline pearls of heaven, which have banked about and aroand us and our only solaco has been the chirp of tho camp bird and the weird wail ings of the metamorphic blasts.
