The lectures given in this city by Prof.
Smith of the Wisconsin University on
Greek Life and art'are proving interesting
and highly profitable and are growing in
popularity. There is basis of sturdy
humanity in Greek life TO which It is we'll
to call frequent attention. The influence
OF old Greece has always tempered the
progress of civilization and blunted the
edge of its commercial tendency. If these
lectures inspire taste for the study of
Greek history with view to discover the
source of the strength OF the Greek
character. much good will be done
through them.

The fire ladies are earnest il their
praise of Judge and Mrs. Anderson in
furnishing them refreshments W bile fight
ing the fire on Sunday night last. The
boys got the steamer out and then the
fire was quickly subdued. 1t would be
well to reorgan;ze the fire department on
the old basis Of having fire engines. No
confidence can be placed in the water
works. That is gone and can never be
restored. Our engines should be put in
shape and clsterns restored. The city
contract for hydrants should at once be
annulled, unless the present proprietors
dispose of their property. There is no
more use 10 carrying on this fooling.

OSCAR ALTER was the John Carey Of the

county service by q careful scrutiny of all

But why should Mr.. Alter do this? 1t
is the right thing to do, but who thanks
him? Do the people? Not whit Has
he made any friends by guarding the in
terests of the county? Not one. Any
enemies? Several. John Cary was the
only man who conld dc these things
without causing enmitIes. There is hard

THE BIG FISH.

About three weeks ago Mr. Curtis
Trenchard shipped by express for Col
Dyer, to a friend of his in Shreveport,
La, a large salmon. fresh from the wa
ter, packed in ice Yesterday Mr..
Trenchard received a copy Of the
Shreveport Times containing tn follow
ing account:
Yesterday Mr.. Gus, Guynemer, of this
city, received what may well be term
ed the champion fish. and one which
made the longest journey on record, in
its fresh state, by express. and still ar
rived fresh and sweet,
The fish was Columbia river, Ore
gon, salmon, which weighed on arrival,
5l pounds. 1t was packed in ice at
Astoria, Oregon, in a box with nova
BILE lid, to admit Of re-icing on the road
when needed, The fish was kept in
ice all the way by the express company,
the employees of which replenished the
stock of ice in the box as fast as it
melted. and that is how the fish came
To arrive in such perfect condition.
THE fish was sent to Mr.. Guynemer
by Mr.. H. B. Dyer of this city, who
has just returned to the south from a
visit to Oregon and other western
states. Mr.. Dyer is associated with the
office of Contractor H. c. Lindsey, of
this city, and will in a day or two
reach the. city in person. The fish was
taken to the Commercial restaurant,
where the process of carving steaks
from It was witnessed by the Times re-
porter. The fish, if we may call it
fish, was bright salmon color, and
was as sweet, apparently. as if just
taken from the water. A number of
Mr.. Guynemers friends were favored
with cuts, and still there was enough

II can only say that Mayor Taylor's
letter came at time when it was
needed, 1t is the greatest folly to per-
nit newspapers or Others to circulate
palpable falsehoods about our city and
the men who are building the railroad
and making every effort to advance
the interests Of the community, Mr.,

Washington, Sept. Ak Secretary
j. W. Foster. who has acted as guide
today, during a tour of the capital by
Lii Hung Chang, made an effort to pre-
vail upon Lii Hung Chang to visit the
new library building, telling him that
1t was the finest building in the city.
'Is 1t finished?" asked Lii, and when
told that it was not, he declined to
make an inspection.
He appeared to take more interest
in Librarian Spofford than in the books,
and spent little time in the old library.
Spofford, when presented, told his visit
or that while the library contained
10000 books, there were about GOO Chin
ese works on its shelves.
How old are you?" Lii asked Spot
ford, and on being told the librarians
age, he said:
You have many books in your head"
More out of it," responded Spofford,
to which the Chinese dignitary replied
with a deprecatory gesture which re-
quired no Interpretation. Earl Ii gave
great deal of attention to the life
size paintings of Washington. He ex-
pressed a desire to ascend the Wash
ington monument and asked if the air
was good and if there was an elevator.

Concerning Judge Taylors letter II
is only necessary FOR me TO say that it
Vas a much needed document and fully
expresses my views on the subject
There is no quicker way to kill the
town than to send abroad newspapers
containing articles defamatory Of the
the railroad company and our property
owners Everyone here knows that
Hammond has exceeded his contract
obligations both as To the amount and
character of the work which he has
already done He is one man among
ten thousand. and has successfully fl
nuncicrcd our project in the face Of
the hardest times we have ever expe-
rivncrd, and We cannot honor him too
much
"All the talk about the development
on the west side of the bay injuring
the old town, is simple nonsense. 1t
is an one proposition, and those people
at Flavcl will do as much for this side
uf the city as we can possibly do for
them, Ne, the whole principle of the
adverse criticisms mentioned in Judge
Taylor's letter is absolutely wrong, and
the attacks made by certain Of the
newspapers of this city have not only
been uutruthful. but have had an effect
abroad not generally appreciated, These
articles have directly injured the city
and the prospects of every business

New York. Sept. Ar. G.. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review OF Trade tomorrow will

There Is a distinct increase Of conf

to political events, which are closely

the speculative purchases OF pig iron,
wool and some other materials, by ex-
perienced men who believe that the re-
viyal Of business is not far of, and for
the first time in nearly two months a
slight upward turn appears IN the
prices Of manufactured products.
The gain in confidence and in the will
lingness to lend and invest gives reason
to hope that the necessary replenish-

deferred, may be liberal enough to

as follows:
Portland, Or, Sept. 3. 1896.
Editor Astoran:-
Referring to the letter Of Mayor Tay-
lor in last Sundays Astorian, | will say
that consider it well written arti-
Gle, and one calculated to do great good
by encouraging harmony among our
citizens,
It was evidently owing to opposing
factions which arose in our midst and
that some Of our citizens have fallen
into the habit Of ridculng and oppus-
ing our railroad, that called forth this
communication. We certainly cannot
hope to accomplish much in small
city without strong concerted action.
The history of the tourshing cities of
Los Angeles, Spokan, and especially
Seattle, shows what great results fol

munity. | strongly oppose the course
Of some Of our newspapers that have
spoken in disparaging terms of our new
enterprises and their very able pro-
moters. Every resident Of Astoria
should have only the very best wishes
for Mr., Hammond, and should endeav-
or in every way to assist him in the
accomplishment of these great projects
for 1t is TO his wonderful energy per-
sistence and executive ability that we
owe the success of our railroad, which

any man would certainly be foolish
to invest capital In a town where its
