Thsfts and burglaries are nightlv reported at Seattle. The Conoin, which has been cruis ing along the Oregon and California coast, came in vesterdav. The Idaho left for Alaska yester day morning; the Oregon came in at noon; the Queen sails this morn ing. A fire at East Portland last Satur day night destroyed Jos. Burkhart's packing establishment: loss, S6.000; insured. Revival services will be held at the M. E church every night this week, beginning to-night at 7 o'clock. All are cordially invited. The legislature is organized and at work. What it will do partakes of the delightful nature of a conundrum that everybody must for the present give up. Underwriters have offered $1,000 to any tug that will bring in the hulk of the Bolivian brig Irene, recently abandoned at sea, 30 miles off Cape Flattery. Sam'l Price died suddenly in Port land last Saturday night," of heart disease occasioned by dissipation. Deceased was a brother-in-law of Senator Mitchell. High tides are predicted for to-day. It is to be hoped that they will be no higher than some last November, which proved so disastrous to some of Clatsop county's dikes. . Capt. Chas. R Powell has ordered that repairs be made at the Tillamook Rock light house as soon as practic able. The 31anzanita has the nec essary materials aboard and will shortly land them, and a force of men at the rook. In Seattle last week a small bo was fined 822.59 for striking a large man, referring to which the Times says: "The big man seem6 to be somewhat after the order of a big calf and appealed to the courts rather thau spank the boy. We suppress names, not so much for charity's sake as for the reason that this community has of lata fallen into the reprehensi ble habit of licking editors." This is the worst yet. Brace up and publish the names. The Gloucoster Net & Twine Co., whose Boston office is 9G, Commercial street, advertise their wares. They are the proprietors of one of the largest and finest factories iu the United States, located at Gloucester, which is believed to be the largest fishing port in the world. This fac tory is managed by men of experi ence. Wm. Stowe, the president of the company, was the founder of the American Net & Twine Co., and was with that company forty-five years, and its late president. They solicit Pacific coast business. The Astoria rainfall for three years, as recently published by The Asto rian, is furnishing food for comment by our contemporaries in other and drier climes. That's all right. The rich, warm rain from the south, the genial, fructifying showers that drop daily promise of abundant harvest are welcome to western Oregon and Washington. Sean our columns close ly and note the absence of snowfall, or hailfall, or sleetfall, or freezefall, or cropfall. With some of our arid but esteemed cons., it is a case of sour grapes, and amid the burning heats of dusty summer and the dead ly blizzards of arctic winter, they would doubtless appreciate one of our balmy breezes from the south, and the warm enfolding of the low hung cloud that bears life in its em brace. Caps for a great many years have been in universal use by employes on the United States lighthouse ten ders during the time that work was required to be done on the vessels. But, says the Telegram, recently the order of things has been changed, and hats have been substituted. At a meeting of the lighthouse board, held at Washington, September 24, it was ordered that a broxn canvas hat, similar in shape to that now in use in the navy, be substituted for the cap of the working suit, used at present on the tender andlight ships. A few days ago a number of these newly adopted hats were received here by the lighthouse inspector, and will be distributed among the crew of the Maiizanita as soon as that vessel arrives here. More of these hats are expected to arrive soon as the present supply is inade quate to the demand. Sam'l. Elmore is in Milwaukee. Mrs. Elmore acoompanies him. They are visiting his father, R. P. Elmore, who was out here about three years ago on a visit. A reporter of the Milwaukee Sentiiiel has been inter viewing the visitor from Astoria. The interview closes as follews: "Mr. Elmore is enthusiastic about the fu ture of Astoria. The shipments of salmon from that place amount to 600,000 cases, representing a revenue of 83,000,000 from this source alone. A large proportion of the salmon is shipped to Liverpool by vessel direct from Astoria. Mr Elmore thinks eventually Astoria will be the termi nus of the Northern Pacific. It is the first port on the Columbia river, and the expensive towing bills for ships now going to Portland would be saved. The many Milwaukee friends of Mr. Elmore congratulate him on his successful business career." Sweet Clilcr; Kcfincd Cider. Best quality at the Oregon Bakery. Kh LATEST TELEGEAPKEO NEWS.

New York, Jan. 10. John Roach, the great Chester ship builder, died at 8 o'clock this morning. The can cerous growth had eaten its way in to the side of his neck below the an gle of the jaw, involving the largo arteries, which became liable to rup ture at any moment. Roach was in great pain all day, and yesterday, to give him relief, large doses ot mor phine were injected. He was nucon cious mo3t of the time. In the few conscious moments he had, he spoke to his son Garrett, who was with him all the time. The young man re mained with his father during the night. Ho occupied a seat by the bedside and helped the nurses, who applied soothing poultices and re newed injections of morphine every time the patient awakened. Only a few intimate friends of the family were admitted to the house yesterday, but nobody other than the physicians was allowed to see Roach.

All the employes, inclnding the con ductors, drivers, hostlers, horse shoers, feeders and tow boys are par ticipating. The exact grievances of the men are not known, but the trouble is believed to be cansed by a failure of President Powers to keep his part of an agreement recently made with the men.

From the last issue of Mr. A. F. Parker's paper, the Idaho county Free Press, published at Grangeville, we clip the follewing: "Local notices inserted among reading matter will be charged at the rate of one dollar a line for the first insertion and fifty cents for each subsequent insertion." A glance at the paper, with its patent inside, shows that it is well patron ized at these rates. There are those who "kick" at the Leader, a newspa per published entirely at home, for charging twenty-five cents per local line each insertion. Such is life. Weston Leader. The East Oregon ian is not too modest to keep back its rates when occasion demands it. Its charges are ten cents a line for local notices. This is ample for a circulation of 1,500, and a great deal too much for patent outsides and insides and papers with less than 1,000 subscribers. E. O. Iroper Treatment for Coughs.

Dr. Jas. Brown, P. G., medical director A. O. TJ. W., de livered an address in Portland on the growth, progress and standing of the order, from whioh the following is an extract: Mr. TJpchurch, on the 3d of No vember, 186S, instituted Jefferson lodge No. 1, at Meadville, under the name and title of The Ancient Order of United Workmen. The order thus organized has never had any political bias, nor has it ever formulated for itself any religions creed. It simply enjoins upon its members honesty, so briety, benevolence and charity, and requires them to aid in procuring employment for an unemployed brother, to relieve the distressed, to help the destitute, to care for the sick, to bury the dead and to frotect the widow and orphan. The growth of the order during the first few years of its existence was slow. On the 21st of August, 1871, it numbered but 400 members. (This was the date of the first death in the order, and the widow of the deceased brother received from its beneficiary fund S400.) Members. On Aug. 27, 1671, the order had 400 On Aug. 29. 1873. the order had 3,639 On March 10, 167 1, the order had 4,10.) On March 1C, 1S73, the order had . 8,000 On Marcli 21, I87i. the order had 14,000 On Maich 20, 1877, the order had 25,000 On March 19. 1678. the order had 35,000 On March 18. 1879. the order had 0 000 On Dec. 31, 1879. the order had 74,897 On Uec. 31. 18S0. the order had 91.402 On Dec 31, 1831, the order had 108,503 On Dec. 31 1882, the order had. 114.72S On Dec 31, 1883, the order had 123,127 On Dec, 31, lS84the order had 143,827 On Dec. SI, 1835. the orner had 155.000 On Dec, 31, 1SSG, the order had 170,000 The rapidity of this growth is prob ably without parallel in the history of kindred societies. Lodges of the order are now found in almost every state ana territory of the Union and in the provinces of British America, and it is no exaggeration to say that their influence is felt from ocean to ocean aud from the lakes to the gulf. The order was introduced on the Pacific coast in 1875 by Grand Ke corder Pratt, of California, who in August of that year, instituted a lodge at West Oakland. Three years later (1878) the order found its way to Oregon. Hope Lodge, No 1, (the lodge which presides here to-night, and one of the five lodges wh'jso offi cers are to bo installed) was insti tuted on tho 10th of August, 1878, by Mr. Oliver, since deceased. In this grand jurisdiction, which embraces Oregon, Washington and British Co lumbia, there are now eighty-three lodges, with -an aggregate member ship of 3.C00. The first grand lodge was held in this city on the 4th and 5th of March, 1879, 1. W. Case, of As toria, being elected grand master. (List of grand masters of this juris juris dicteon: Case, Abell, Hare, Child, Bradshaw, Handloy, Dorris, Brown) Of the eighty-three lodges, Industry, No. 8, has the largest membership, 180; Seaside Lodge, No. 12, of Asto ria, has tho next largest, 165. (Grand Recorder Wheeler informs me that Seaside Lodge, No. 12, received more new members during tho past year thau any lodge in the jurisdiction.) The A. O. U. W. in this jurisdic tion, as elsewhere, is making for itself a brilliant record. Here, as else where, it is growing in popularity and influence, and its membership from year to year, though less rapid than in California and New York, is healthy and promising. A Captain's fortunate liscovery Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymouth ply ing between Atlantic City and X.Y., had been troubled w Itli a cough so that he was unable to sleep, and was induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery for Con Mimption. it not Gnly gave him instant relief,but allayed the extreme soreness in his breast. Ills children were similar ly atfected and a single dose . had the same happy effect. Dr. King's New Discovery is now the standard remedy in the Coleman household and on hoard the schooner.

Some time last summer tho discov ery was made (hat there was a slight flaw in the shaft of the steamer Tel ephone. Capt. Scott naturally sup posed that the flaw was a deep one and that the shaft wan liable to snap asunder when subject to a heavy strain. He sent east and had a large shaft (one foot and one inch in diam eter) brought out. Meantime the shaft iu use on the steamer did not break, but continues to present writ ing ''holding its own." Capt. Scott is determined to be prepared for any emergenoy, so he had the new shaft taken to the iron works, turned down to its proper bearings and the flanges and cranks attached. Should the old shaft be twisted off, the new one can be placed in position without delay. Telegram. BucZilen's Arnica Salve.

The reduption of internal revenue and the taking off revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the con sumers, as well as relieving the bur den of home manufacturers. Especial ly is this the case with Green's August Flower and BoscheeJs Ger man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bot tles containing these remedies, there by giving one-fifth more medicine in tho 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for" Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of in creased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size, Deep Sea Fisliins on the Sound. Capt. Williams, of the Old Town cannery, said to-day that so far his experiments in deep sea fishing had not been entirely satisfactory. The places in which the net has been cast have been Gig harbor, in the west passage and along the shore of tho Sound from Port Blakely to Port Madison. In all of these places the bottom of tho Sound has been found too rocky and uneven for the fishing to be what it should be to make the business profitable. In a few days the captain will try the wa ters along the east shore of the Sound, from Point Brown north, aud will see if a smooth bottom can not be found there. W. T. Feltens, recently from Chicago, is trying ex periments in deep sea fishing with gill nets. So far his operations have only met with moderate success. Tacoma, Neios, 8. Syrup oTFijcs.
