some one down street, Chinaman running
through the streets yelling quick, quick,
quickp Nightwatch Jones was notified
and as we'll the chief en- gineer; but It was
understood that 1t was a building beyond
the round house, and the city's hose would
not reach the place anyway from the near

has quite as much fun poked at 1t as the
Narrow Guage railroad, The following is
from an Astoria paper: They've got a
little fathsrless and motherless concern up
the country called a railroad. 1t Is a mar.
row gauge, and trips that they undertake
are attended with misfortune; when the
cars don't upset or jump the track they get
promptness as does the mail to this city,
brought down on the "Black Mariah"
