! We don't have booms like they do in
Wardner. When we have strike <coal
or any old thing) somehow it seems as
if people are afraid to make it known,
and therefore keep it from the news
papers, which tell everything they know
(and more too). But the town in spite
OF reports, enemies, and all else COM
Dined, persues the even tenor of its way
and gets there just the same"

The new dining car to be put on the
road between this place and Umatilla,
ie now in Portland, and it is expected
will be brought up today or tomorrow.
1t is in charge of F. S. Kelly, and is a
| very beautiful car being furnished in
white oak. There is only one dining
car in the west that equals this one for
finish and elegance of furnishings, the
other one being used on the North
western. Elegant slIverware is provided,
and in every particular the service will
be irst-class. Passengers going and
coming can now have their meals on
the train, and not get off at Grants as

Hubert Leist met with an unfortunate
accident today when returning home
from work. AS he turned the corner at
Mays & Crowe's store and started up
Second street on his bicycle, he ran into
team which was coming down and was
thrown off, breaking the small bone Of
his right arm at the elbow joint. DIR.
Geisendorffer was at once sent for and
gave the necessary medical assistance
The accident is particularly unfortunate
as Hubert, who had previously been EN-.
ployed by 1. q. Nickelsen, has just
started to learn the carpenters trade
and had been working for Hugh Glenn
the past month. This will cause him Il
be unable to work for about two months
although he is able to be about th
streets.
Salmon are beginning to make thei
appearance more plentifully. Fou
hundred pounds were caught by a whee
at Cello in the past two days. Seufer
Bros. took in about 150 pounds in on
wheel yesterday, and this morning som
Indians captured $50 pounds in tw
wheels. Seufert Bros.' cannery mad
the tlrst run of the season today, can
ming few pounds which were on hard
However, the catch amounts to little a
yet. The Astorian ssaid yesterday
"Fishermen are doing but little and tn
scarcity of salmon is believed to b
: largely due to the prevailing cold wealth
er. Reports from the middle Columbi
are to the effect that larger catches ar
being taken there than in the viclnit
8 of Astoria. But the catches are ligt
all along the river and no improvement
8 is anticipated until change in th
. weather sets in"
