ASTORIA'S SPECTRE BOATMAN.-
Astoria, from upper town to Alder
coye, is excited over what is suppos-
ed to be ghostly visitations. Several
persons affirm that recentv they
have, when going home late at
night, seen spectre boat, with set
sail and lone occupant, glide out on
the bay and disappear down the
river. The first man to report the
matter was Russian Fin, and
when he told the story he was
laughed at. The next morning
another fisherman named Steven
son reported that he also had
seen the strange boat that disap-
peared down the river. With this
corroborative testimony the curiOs-
ity of the neighborhood was aroused
and the next night q watch was
set for the supposed phantom. AT
ter many hours of waiting and
watching the investigators were re-
warded by sighting the expected
craft out in the channel. In the
boat sat man who held the sheet
and guided the vessel. 1t was a
bright moonlight and the boat and
figure, surrounded by mist and
halo, could be plainly seen. The
phantom glided swiftly seaward and
the men pulled away in chase, which
was continued for more than mile,
when the pursued came to stand
still, and the Stevenson party rap
idly drew up toward it. When
their boats got within perhaps a
hundred yards of the spook the fig
ure was seen to rise and wave its
hand, and almost simultaneously
the boat tilted stern upwards rs if
going over n huge wave and disap-
peared. This thoroughly frightened
the party and without stopping to
investigate further they returned to
the shelter of their cabins,

A WANDERING OLD MAN.-On
last Saturday there came to Garfield
a feeble old man with but one eye
and struggling gray whiskers, who
gave his name as Morris Lockwood,
who tells a strange story, says the
Garfield Washington Enterprise.
He says that a recent issue of the
Portland Oregonian contained an
offer of reward of $1,000 for infor-
nation concerning man of his
name, stating that there was a sum
of money awaiting him from the
government. He claims to be the
man. Says he was occupying a
homestead in Kansas, about 175
miles from Wichita; that on the 2lst
day of July, 1872, the Usage Indians
made an attempt to drive him oil.
He and a neigkbor, the only white
man within miles, with their famil-
les, defended themselves all day
long in cabin that was in course of
construction, with no roof, and sue
ceeded in killing number of the
redskins and finally driving them
off. He employed lawyer to prose
cute his claims for damages against
the government, and, getting tired
waiting, came west. He gave his
residence as near Bells mill, on
Deep creek, this country. He start
ed for Kansas Saturday evening.
The amount of damages applied for
was $SS00.75 for the destruction of
seventy-five acres of corn and stock
run off.

WHAT IS NEEDED.
Salem Should Have a First-Class Fur
niture Manufacturing Institution
Other Matters of Interest.

Salem with her present population
alone could now support large
furniture manufacturing establish
ment. A JOURNAL reporter was
speaking with prominent Salem
ite yesterday in regard to this mat
in for anything that will tend to
advance Salem in any manner, and
if a move is made for company
here in the city to establish such an
enterprise / shall take pleasure in
helping the project on as much as
possible" In speaking further on
this important subject the gentle
man said: "Salein and the large adj
jacent section of country was badly
in need of furniture factory. AT the
present time every bit of furniture
that is handled in the city has to
be imported from some other point
and consequently must sell at a
higher price than it would if manu-
factured right here at home. With
the right kind of a factory here at
Salem, with the advantage of secur-
ing materials that she possesses,
furniture could be manufactured and
sold from the retail establishments
for at least 25 per cent lower than it
otherwise could be done, and yet
still allow the company to make
their usual good profits.
The trade of such an enterprise
would not be confined to this city
alone, but would extend to all the
neighboring towns and cities around
the valley on this section which
gives large scope of country to
work over. Just as handsome fur
niture could be manufactured here
as at any place.
The cost of putting such an en-
terprise in running order will prob
ably cost from $50, 600 to 100000. Yet
there is no doubt but what the in
vestment would be paying one for
all time to come.
The time has come when Salem
must rely more on her own resources
and to that end such enterprises
must be established, the sooner the
the better. Note should be made
of the fact that Salem will soon
have her woolen mill in operation,
and it will prove boon to the COM
munity. One year ago little was
thought of this matter, but to-day
the mill is almost completed, and
the machinery is being placed in
position.

WHERE WILL 1T BE Placed
The morning contemporary speaks
on authority this morning, and says
that "There has been 600 scholars
in the public schools who have re-
ceived instructions in writing from
Professor Garrison and that
each have paid one dollar"
If this is so, and the JOURNAL has
not been notified to the contrary.
then there will remain between $500
and $3.50 for the purchase of a bell as
proposed by Prof. Randle in his cir
cular letter to parents at the begin
ming of the term. The JOURNAL is
glad to know that the affair proved
so successful? but is sorry also to see
our public free schools tampered
with in such neasily way.
Free schools are for no such
purpose and teachers of learning
and ability are employed at a
given salary to teach the children.
But as the thing has went through
the JOURNAL rises to a point of order
and asks for a little information.
First: What composition is this bell
to be composed of? Secondly: OF
what tone will it be.

A COMPARISON.
The Comparison of the Weather Be-
tween the States Of Oregon and
Pennsylvania. Read 1t.

Through the kindness of DIR.
Diven, who arrived In Salem about
one year ago from Pennsylvania,
the JOURNAL is enabled to-day to
give its readers a comparison of the
state of weather between the far
away state of Pennsylvania and that
of tie state by the "sun-down sea-"
Mr.. Diven has arranged with
friends in Pennsylvania to take
correct weather report each
day during the winter and at the
end of each month they exchange
reports and the Doctor sits here in
Salem and reads the far-away re-
ports which chill him almost to the
marrow, while his friends in the
East can sit down and peruse the
Oregon weather report and think of
spring when nature IS in all her
lovliness i'm the East.
Following is the weather report
of Pennsylvania, for the month of
October. Oregonians will please
get near warm fire before reading:
Oct. 1st, cold rain.
I'd, clear and warm.
Sd, frost in morning; rain and
thunder in afternoon.
4th, cold and windy.
5th, cold and cloudy.
9Th, cold rain.
7th, snow (cold).
Sth, clear and cold.
9th-10th-1lth, clear and warm.

13th-14th, clear and cold.

10Th, ground frozen; changed to

26th, cloudy and rain.
9th, hard rain.
2Sth-29th, cold, drizzling rain.
30th, cold and cloudy.
3lst, rain; warmer.
From the above, it would setin
that the citizens of that great state
do not lack for a change in the
weather. They can't grumble on
this point, much. Now to show the
difference in the weather in the two
states synopsis of the weather in
Oregon is here given.
During the month of October the
average morning temperature was
81; average noon temperature SO;
average evening tenperature62; and
the daily average was so degrees.
Highest temperature during the
month was 800 and the lowest was
36 degrees. There were clear days;
25 partly clear; cloudy; II showery;
2 wet; 5 foggy mornings and frost
visible on one morning during the
month.
No comments need be made as to
the difference as it is plainly visible.

THE Times does not seem to know
that 81, 200 added to $50 make $3.50,
but it does. The Times does not un-
derstand that the Tolstoi family date
their nobility at least to the days of
Peter the Great, and that there are
several branches of the family, but it
did; and the author. Count Lyof n.
Tolstoi, was only one of a family
of several brothers, two or three
o:whom are older than himself The
Times does not understand that the
press dispatches conveyed the infor-
nation that Count Tolstoi, the noted
Russian author, was dead, but they
did. The Times does not understand
that the LIGHT made the lowest bid
on the city advertising, but it did;
and it can afford it because it charges
fair business rates for its commercial
advertising, and does not let it out to
the lowest bidder.
