There was no race between the
Potter and Telephone yesterday. but
there was a mighty lively "gittin'
thar" and the progress of the two
boats was watched with interest from
the time the steamers came flying
across the bay.
Both boats left Portland on their
usual time, the Telephone making
twenty-three landings. The Potter
came along while the Telephone was
lying at Brookfeld, and when she
pulled ont, her side wheel rival was
coughing down the river well in ad-
vance. Neither boat was in trim for
any great squirt of speed, the Tele-
phone being especially handicapped
by large quantity of freight and
about 30 tons of water in her tank,
the POtte1'S tank being reported com.
paratively lighter. The two boats
presented a pretty sight as they
rounded Tongue Point, streaking
through the tapping water, and vol
umes of white steam issuing in curl
ing masses from their smoke stacks.

OUR GLORIOUS CLIMATE,
Delightful August Weather in Astoria.

Every month THE Historian pub
fishes meteorological summary O
the weather of the preceding thirt,
days, kindly furnished by Sergean
Griffin IN charge of the signal service
station at this point, and the genia
pleasantness of our climate is 81
much matter of course to us who
have the good fortune to live hert
and enjoy it, that sometimes un
hoticed are the blessings that we in
this regard, enjoy.
For instance, in the official report
we find that during the month ot
August, 1888, when heat, misery and
positive discomfort were the unhappy
lot Of inland dwellers, when 10S' and
even 1l0' degrees was the marking oil
the thermometer in eastern Oregon
and Washington, the highest temper.
ature recorded in Astoria was SEW.
ENrY FOUR degrees. This simple fact
speaks volumes for the delightful eli
mate Of western Oregon and the
mouth of the Columbia river. No
summer resort on the Atlantic coast,
few places on even the favored Pa
cific coast, has so fine a record for
equable temperature as Astoria, and
to the weary thousands weakened by
heat and summer dIscomforts this
city is sanitary refuge.
Nor IS this all: next winter, when
the Astorian reads of heavy snowfall
and the billiards that sweep with
Arctic chill through the country to
the east, he can only pity the sad
dwellers in a land where the ther-
memeter goes down below zero, and
picking from the flowers in his front
yard fresh bouquet for his button.
hole, thank his stars that his lines
are cast in pleasant places and that
neither the torrid heats OF summer
nor the frigid winds of winter can
mar the serenity of his Joy.
As for the people east of the Rock
les, it is incredible to them that we
on this north Pacific slope enjoy such
equable and happy temperature.
Ii you who read this, know of a
friend in the land of sun-strokes, mad
dogs, malaria and misery, send him
or her the following official summary
of August weather in Astoria in the
year of our Lord, 1888:

A Case Of Necessity.

The fact of the Northern Pacific
building boats to run on the upper
Columbia river should induce the o.
r. & N. Co. to lessen their freight
charges from The Dalles to the sea-
board. Without the company makes
some movement in this direction, the
wheat crop of eastern Oregon will seek
tide water on the Sound.-DdlleS

Death OF Newton Scott.

Newton Scott, the well-known en-
gineer ON the Telephone, died in
Portland yesterday morning. His
uncle, Capt. U. B. Scott. sat with him
until it was time to leave on the
down trip yesterday morning, and
when he left his nephew's bedside it
was evident he would soon close his
eyes on all things earthly. He was
in the 34th year of his age, faithful,
obliging man, liked by all. He leaves
wife and child, resident in Port
land.
About five years ago he met with
an accident on the City of Salem,
whereby his spine was injured. Since
then he has never been well, the dis
ease finally developing into conges
tion of the brain, which proved fatal

A Good Prospect.

R. NJ. Spedden, of Astoria, and Z.
G. Spedden, of the prairie, passed
through town Sunday, on their way
to Portland from Elk City. They
have located a mine close to the
American river, the quartz from it
showing plenty of gold and silver.
The ledge is quite extensive and is
ten feet thick, and the proprietors in
tend putting in a 10-stamp mill soon.
Their trip to Portland was to make
arrangements for the same. We wish
them all the success imaginable

The first shipment of Puget sound
salmon was made to Baltimore yes
terday. Geo. L. Myers says in ten
years experience as a Gamer on the
Sound he never knew salmon so
scarce in the bays. He attributes il
to the action of the glaciers in the
mountains filling the rivers and bays
with whitish water, which is avoided
by the fish seemingly. Fishermen
are driven to the main channels oi
the Sound, where silversides are be
ing taken in liberal quantities; There
are now 1000 cases of the old pact
nnsold and on hand. Thus far LOU
cases have been packed this season.
