A Comparison Favorable To Astoria.

At Astoria there are points that
could be made to furnish the best of
accommodations, and they are lying
arOnnd loose. bat by no III. ans il
great numbers, ana they are ~ in:
and holding out greater advantages
than any point on Puget sound
Among those advantages is first, the
cost OF the logs, which have always
sold for 81 thousand less than logs
on the Sound; and then there is the
shorter distance to market. Say, for
instance, a dealer in San Francisco
has mill at Astoria, and another has
one at Tacoma. The respective
vessels start out from San Francisco
together, and keep company until off
the Columbia. where one runs in and
begins to load while the other
one is still out at sea heading north.
She has the shortest way one
can measure it, $50 additional miles to
make in order to reach Tacoma. OF
course she has the same additional
distance to sail on her home trip,
making together a distance of of 700
miles more which she has to sail than
the vessel bound for Astoria. 1t is a
pretty fair guess to say that in or
der to make one mile on a direct
course vessel has to sail about two;
hence our Tacoma trader will have to
sail about 1,400 miles more OH each
trip for q cargo than our Astoria yes
sci will; if. now, it is borne in mind
that the whole distance between San
Francisco and Astoria is about $50
miles, it does not need the services of
the Lick telescope to discover
the disadvantages all the Sound
mills labor under, when com
pared with Astoria mills as to the
freighting of the lumber to the Cali
fornia markets. The same disadvant-
tuge applies to all cargoes going south
to domestic or foreign ports, but the
difference Is not SO perceptible iii YES
sells which make one or two trips a
year TO foreign ports, but when YES,
sci Is steadily running between San
Francisco and some mill. making ten
thirteen or even more trips a year,
the difference in the distance of Puget
sound ports and Astoria, looms up
with Importance, affecting materially,
as it does, the profit and loss account,
the freights from the Sound ports be
ing the same as those from Astoria

Ocean Grove, n. j., has a new mo-
tive power for raising water with
which to sprinkle its streets. A pier
has been built on the beach, having
eight gates, each of which swings up
on a steel rod in such way that the
lower parts of the gates are submerged
on all sides. The waves as they strike
a gate swing it inward, and rod at
tached to the top serves as the angle
bar for the piston rod of force pump
placed in a horizontal position, the
force of each wave sufficing for the
stroke of the piston, and the conse.
quent suction OF a quantity of water
from the ocean. The water is forced
forty feet high into tanks; and with
only two gates in use 10000 gallons
of water can be raised to the requisite
height in one day. The use of such a
power for mechanical purposes is self
evident.

The exposure of the manner of trans
acting business by the American
building and loan association" of
Minneapolis, 10y labor commissioner
Tobin of California is beginning to
bear good fruit. Its East Oakland
branch has closed its books. The
amount of stock subscribed for was in
the neighborhood of $4,000, but the
loss to members. says the local man
ager, through the payment of as
sessments and initiation fees, will not
amount to more than $500. They get
off easy.

THE AsToRIAN receives and wei
comes another visitor to the local
newspaper field The astoria Metho-
dist, Rev. Geo. w. Grannis, editor and
proprietor. 1t is a topographic gem,
16 page paper to appear monthly,
and replete with excellent original

valuable to the extent that one can
clip from its columns, and from the
neatly printed pages of No. /, Vol. l,
of The astoria Methodist, it is
learned that: "The financial results of
the year have been truly remarkable,
considering the number of members

Yesterday afternoon, Paul, the
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
b. Ross, was very severely burned
through playing with matches. Mrs.
Ross and some of the other children
were next door eating dinner at the
time and the first she heard was the
screaming of her boy; rushing in she
saw him enveloped in flames which
were put out as soon as possible. The
little fellow was found to be very SER
iously burned about the breast, legs,
hands and face. and at last accounts
was in a very bad condition.

The line was down again last night,
so no dispatches this morning.
When Mr.. Jayne, the superintendent,
was here last week, he implied that the
w. U. L. Co., as soon as railroad work
got well under way, would begin the
construction of a telegraph line along
the route, and as soon as that line
was built, the old line, the present
line down the river, would be aban-
doned: that it was the original inten-
ton of the company to rebuild the
entire line, from Portland, down, but
that idea was not to be acted upon,
the new line to be built along the
Astoria and South Coast Railroad
Co.'S track obviating the necessity of
such rebuilding. So that while in
the future we will have a solid line
built, the line this fall and winter will
be likely to be a shaky concern.

Civil engineer E. E. Cooper, with
his sixteen men camped last night on
the little Fishhawk, IL miles from Oh
ney, and q miles from this city, and
this morning they resume their re-
connoissance. 1t is reckoned that a
400 foot tunnel at that point will
obviate the necessity of any sharp
grade. Mr.. Cooper has a preliminary
survey of a very easy grade so far, all
the way from this city.

The Outgoing and Incoming Inspectors

The Mdnzdlttd comes down the
river to-day with the incoming and
outgoing inspectors of this lighthouse
district on board. They go on an Off
cial cruise along the Oregon and
Washington coast, and on their re-
turn Capt. Uriel Sebree will return to
the east. He has been ordered to his
home in Missouri, but salt water is
scarce in that locality, and he will
probably not be there long before be-
ing ordered to Chester, Pennsylvania,
where he will go aboard the new
cruiser Baltimore, as executive Of
ficer.
Three years shore duty and three
years at sea, is the rule. but in Capt
Sebree's case the courtesy of an ex-
tension has been accorded. He came
here a lieutenant, but has been pro-
NOTED to the higher official rank of
lieutenant commander.
He will be succeeded by Lieutenant
commander w. w. Rhodes, who has
been stationed at Washington for the
past three years. The new inspector
is forty-fve years of age, and has been
in the navy for twenty-five years.

The Tillamook rock hight keepers
had a jubilee, yesterday, the Manzani-
tG having supplied them with some
provisions: this is the first tcommunica-
ton those sea girt sentinels have had
with shore for nearly six weeks, and
their gorge rose at beans straight.
Now they feast upon the succulent sue
cotash, the plum peach and Juicy pear
and look with fUhdness on the pleasing
rotundity of the watermelon.

A man in business without an adver-
tisement in the newspaper is like a
grave without tombstone, or book
agent without 4 tongue. Neither one
is known, neither one does much. all
are passed by. Advertising is the
preaching of the gospel of business to
those whe buy or ought TO buy.
Doubtless one or tw0men would get re-
hgion if there were not preacher in
the world, but the great masses would
know nothing of christianity. So every
business man will have a little trade
anyway, but unless he advertises, the
great body of traders will pass by on
the other side, and the fate of busi-
ness failure come upon him.

Astoria Can Say Precisely The Same.

The three. story brick buildings
which are now being completed, and
which would be ornaments to any city
on the coast, are being built by men
who have accumulated fortunes by
following business vocations in this
city. There is not another point that
can make the same boast in the north
west, for in almost every town the
enterprise of the present season has
been impelled by the introduction of
foreign capital. Ddles Times NOun-

Eels are in the market. Some folks
don't eat eels, but You just fix 'em,
same as you would fried snake, and
just let some other fellow have 'em,
and you'll say they're just as good
that way as snake stew is. The eels
from the Cowlitz are the fattest,
though now and then they bring up a
little flattened eel from Hungry harbor
that isn't long in the market before
being purchased,
