square miles. Its leading resourc-
es are the fisheries, agriculture,
timber, coal, and probably iron.
The surface Of the country IS chief |
" mountainous, but many streams
flow through, along which are
large areas of fine agricultural
land, Even back from the streams,
almost everywhere, the soil IS ex-
cellent and we'll adapted 20 cult

Der. Clatsop plains, strip oi land
lying along the sea shore which
has been settled for thirtv-Gvc
years, is the largest boly OF agri-
cultural land in the county. The
soil Is light and sandy and pro
duces vegetables, grain aud snail
fruits in abundance. But little
wheat is raised, cats and barley
being the principal cereals. Hay
is the chief crop, and dairying the
leading feature Of the farming
business. Two cheese factories on
the plains make an article that IS
celebrated in the market for its ex-
cellent quality. Butter IS produced
in great qantity and of fine quality.
The soil is well adapted to hop
culture, though that industry Is
not vet carried on here. The
same IS generally true Of the ranch
es on Nehalem, Lewis and Clarke,
Young's, Walluski, aud other riv-
ers in the county. The Nehalem
valley is especially fine grain re-
gion. On these streams and in the
mountains are large areas of va
cant land, covered with timber,
still open to settlement. 1t re-
quires persistent effort and hard
work to clear them and reduce the
land to cultivation, but when this
is accomplished the settler has a
fine and productive home. Work
can always be found by an indus
trious man to aid in the support
of himself and family while he Is
engaged in clearing his land aud
securing title to homestead. For
vegetables, hay and small fruits
there is a sure market at nigh
prices.
From end to end the county is
covered with a dense growth oi
magnificent timber, and hundreds
of men make money by logging
into the streams from the claims
Of settlers and selling the logs to
mill men at Astoria. Much char
coal and cord wood are also taken
from the claims. The timber oi
which there is the greatest abun-
dance Is the Douglas fir, generally
known as Oregon pine, some yari'
cites of it making finer ship build
ing material than eastern oak. The
other valuable woods are tide land
spruce, usel for boxes, ship lining
boat building, and house finishing
hemlock, cedar, larch, alder and
maple. In the Nehalssp valley i
the largest body of the most desir.
able timber, and here are offered
great inducements for settlers to
locate and enjoy the benefits of tn,

that section of the county.
Coal Of a superior quality has
been discovered in the southern
portion of the county, and it i:
probable that this whole region is
underlaid with seams OF that valu

The discontinuance of several
weather stations in the South is ex-
pected, and among them are named
81 Paso, Silverthorn, Santa Fe, Stock
ton, Vicksburg, Chattanooga and At
lanta. The Service has abandoned
the cyclone observation station in the
West Indies, as it cost about $4,000
per annum. The officers of the Ser
vice expect that clamor will be
raised, and that Congress will be more
liberal in its appropriation next year.
The last Congress appropriated $242.-
500 fer meteorological service proper,
for the ensuing fiscal year, against
$3.50, 600 for the year to close in June.
Out of this amount $1,000 was set
aside for the cotton belt service, and
this item was not mentioned in previ-
Gus allotments. Heroic treatment is
proposed by the officers in charge by
the curtailment of observing stations.

MOZART TICKET AUCTION.
Four for -Four Hundred Dol
lars.

The sale of seats for the Mozart
Music Festival attracted something
near 100 people to the Peabody vests
6ule this forenoon. Prof. B. Hughes
delivered the opening address in a
style characteristic of the man, the wit
and humor emitted, whetting, the
appetites Of those who expected to
bid. The first ticket was taken
by Mr.. Eugene Leidy, the
well known halter, who took choice at
$500 cash, being $25 less than the cell
ebrated Genin, of New York, paid for
the first Jennie Lind ticket in 1851.
The white hat trade has been very
active recently, and Mozart>Thomas
style Of "chapeau blanc" will doubt
less be introduced at an early day by
the euterprising Leidy. The second
choice OF seats went to Mr.. Elias
Lowenstein, who took two seats at the
same figure, just to help the enterprise
along. The third was taken by MIR.
John K. Speed, for $50; the fourth by
b. Bensdorf for $40, and the fifth by
WV. Scheduled at $40. The price Of
season tickets is five dollars, and the
amounts bid were in addition to the
regular tariff. The number sold at
public cutlery was thirty-nine, and the
premiums realized summed up $676.
Another auction sale comes off be.
tween ten and twelve tosmorrow at the
same place.

Chicago Herald.


At Warsaw, Wis, the other even
ing, an Uncle Tom" troupe, styling
themselves the Boston Ideal Comnany
gave a performance of that venerable
drama. For a realism it has seldom
been equaled. Among the star actors
is huge bloodhound. The part Of
the lawyer, Marks, is handled by a
young man named Il. L. Powell. A
little feeling of rivalry has existed for
some time between the bloodhound
and Marks--a professional jealousy.
During the evenings performance
Powell was in high feather, swinging
the traditional umbrella, when the
bloodhound grabbed him. The dog
swallowed about a pound of meat
from the attorneys arm, and then
proceeded to take section out of the
flesh directly underneath the seat of
Mr.. PowelFs very tight pantaloons.
The audience, composed mostly of
choppers Just out of the woods, ap-
plauded vigorously, and the curtain
went down on thrilling tableau.

While fishing in Florida, not long
ago, Senator Beck lost his gold bowed
spectacles overheard, and they we're
seen to disappear in the nav Of a big
fish. Just before leaving Washington
the President promised Beck to catch
that fish and recover the spectacles.
He has caught more FISH than any one
would care to count, but the big fel.
low which swallowed Beck's goggles
has not been found among them. The
only way In which this may be &C.
counted for is to conclude that the
spectacles proved fatal. 1t is easier
to believe this than to suppose that
President Arthur let any fish escape.
