We have received from the Bureau of
Information, Astoria, Ore, beautifully
printed and illustrated pamphlet entitled
astoria, the Peerless marati ne metropoli s
of the golden northwest" 1t is written by
Mr.. P. Donan in his happiest humor, and Is
well worth perusal by all. This will be a
good adv rtisemen of the city by the sound
ing sea, and no doubt will attract wealth
and populction to that point.
An instance of what may be accomplished
by the poor, down-trodden farmer of the
Pacific northwest, Is gi en- by the Athena
Press, which says: "Chas. Brown purchased
at the reservation land sale last spring l60
acres of land, five miles this side of PeDdle
ton, for which he paid $500. This year he
harvested crop from it which paid for the
land, the improvements he had made upon
it and had little for this years work. and
last week sold the land to j. N. I. Snyder
for $4,000
Register: The regents of the state uni
versity at Eugene bave made arrangements |
with school boards of the various towns Of |
the state to admit graduates from the ele- |
mentary or high school course, of the public |
schools, without examination. The stand |
ing received in these schools will be placed |
to their credit at the university. What |
ever branch or branches have been COM
pleted need not again be taken up. This |
will be a great advantage to those who wish |
to pursue higher course of study.
MIR. Jay Gould. the millionaire, died in
New York city this morning. By shrewd |
management he accumulated millions, and |
was principally known to the world as
railroad maguate. and stock manipuia ator. |
About go years old, there is hardly any |
man who could pass out of the world at
such an age with as few tears shed over his
grave, as this heartless millionaire, who has
lived only for himself, and whose every
action apparently for long time has been
with the one end in view, the accumulation
of money.
Some drunken Indians on the Colvilie
reservation treated the citizens of Newport,
on the Upper Columbia, TO sensation a few
nights since. Under tine influence of liquor.
the Indians Indnlged in a war dance around
a huge bonfire on the shore of the river op-
posite Northport. They made night hIdeous
with yells and the firing of guus. The peo-
pie in the village were apprehensIve of an
attack. Some sat up all night, ready for
any emergency. The Indians subsidized after
they had exhausted the liquor and them
selves. 1t is surmised that some visiting
Indians from British Columbia came over
the line with villainous compound known
as canadian club, and started an aborigi-
nal spree.
