The U.S. revenue cutter Richard Rush, which baa been cruising on the southern California coast, broke her propeller yesterday. The late drop of the thermometer caused a corresponding rise in the price of some of life's necessaries, batter, eggs, potatoes, etc. Rev. Gso. H.

The Corwin needs a new propeller, repairs to her hull qnd general over hauling of her machinery, which she will receive as son as parmission is procured from Washington. Another squabble is reported in the San Francisco city council. It seems the dog-killer failed to make the usual division of the proceeds and the members have waxed wroth. No wonder. Hon. 0. W. Fulton has been re ceiving the congratulations of his numerous friends this week, tho oc casion being the advent at his house of a son and heir. Mother and child are doing well. The" Dunelm, salmon laden, from Astoria to Loudon, arrived 'there on the 2nd inst., 153 days out. The Co lnrabia wheat and salmon fleet of '83 is thus far fortunately free from any noticeable percentage of disaster. There will be a campfire by the Portia id O. A. R. post on the 22nd inst, and visiting Astor'a members of Cashiug Post No. 11, or the Woman's Relief Corps can get half fare tickets by applying to Ohas. Wright, at the Occident hotel. "Will you run if the river freezes up?'' was askeJ a well known steam boat mm last Thursday- "You bet I will," was the response. "If the ioa gets so thick I can't gee through, I'll rig a fore and aft sail and skim along on top." The council committee on the lo cation of the electric lights seem to have some difficulty in pleasing every body Just how to distribute eight electric lights so that every ono in town can have an electrio light in his baak yard is indeed an embarrassing problem. Tho Chicago printers are on n strike. They'vo been getting 37 cents a thousand ems and want 40 cents. The northwestern printing of fice and the Pacific coast generally pay fifty cents a thousand, which is tb i regular rate iu all daily morning XJ8 spaper officjs on this coast. Ag'iiu The A&tjeiax directs atten tion to tLo necessity and profit, of having a dry dock and marine rail way at Astoria. It is u n03ssity to commerce, the situation is unrivaled, the requirements are evident, tha work will be done hero or somewhere else, and th-it the investment would be a profitable one is well evinoed by experience. The inter-stite commerce bill, about which so much has been said, goes into effect on the 21st of next iQ-jntb. When Astorians and Port landers begin about tbe 1st of April to pry freight rates averaging 20U per cent, higher than present rates Ore gon merchants will begin to realize what a fine thing that inter-state com merce bill is not. Under date of the 10th, a Shoal water bay correspondent writes that the schooner Fanny Adele arrived at Sunshiro on the 9th; the schooner Sailor Bty arrived the next day; the Shoalwatsr Bty Company's dock at OyaterviHe had broken down last Sunday by the weight of ice on it and the Tom Morris was lying at Ovster- vjlle in waut of an engine. In the s'a e Fenate last Thursday evening, sn itor Gray's bdl regarding the north boundary of Clatsop county passed. It extends the territory of county jnr;diction in criminal cases, sad simplifies questions nr sing there -iro.ii. Hid bill No. 173. allowing the sheriff of Clatsop and Curry counties two per cent, for collecting taxes, al so passed under suspension of the rules. The Portland board of trade is in vestigating the packing aud shipping o! fall salmon on the lower Columbia last September, October and Novem ber. The impression prevails that that salmon was shipped foreign. It is not at all probable that a caso of that particular kind that the commit tee is seeking information about, went foreign. It went east to satisfy and gratify n certain demand there. The "didn't know it was loaded" Hint hasbeen heard from again. This time ht3 name is E. W. James, and he 1 re '"n Stringtown. a north suburb of Albina. Last Thursday afternoon he pointed-a Ran, "lint in fun. at Mra. Mwy Nawion, wiio was srouud ?fce Satfcj delivering milk, and killed the poor old lady. He is real sorry about it Some court ought to give him about seven years hard labor iu a well regu lated penitentiary. The Astobiak local always lakes off his hat and bows before the colos sal stupidity and magnificent men dacity of the San Francisco newspa pers when the aforesaid S. F.n's indite items about this part of the coast. The latest addition to such marine literature is in the Alia of the 5th. which announces, "There are many vessels at present br.r bnnnd in the Columbia river, among which is the steamer Yaquina of this city' The Y. M. C. A. reception given last evening by the Ladies' Auxiliary committee was a great suc:esF, Each young man as he entered the hall was met by a committee of ladies and was made to feel as though ho was wanted. Au excellent musical programme was rendered and the refreshments were all that one could desire. The tables reflected great credit upon the laJies iu charge. Sixty-one j'oung men handed in their cards nud probably as many ladies were present An iuvitation was given the youiig men by tho general secre tary to join the organization. A Commendable Enterprise. Messrs. Kruger and Horton, the president and vice-president of the Truckee Lumber Co., one of the larg est concarns of the kind on the coast, have been in this vicinity for some time looking for a suitable location for a northwestern branch of their extensive business, and recognizing the importance of this point, are now negotiating for the purchase of a suit able site on which it is tinier stood to be the intention of these gentlemen to erect a thoroughly equipped saw mill, costing in the neighborhood of $40,000. It is thought that the northwestern beach frontage of Alderbrook will bo selected, 975 feet front, comprising lots 5 and 6, in block 1, and all of blocks 2 and 3 north of Ash street, together with some adjacent lots to the south, being viewed with favor by the intending purchasers. It is said the price asked by the owners is 810.500. Should the transfer be mado and the mill built, it is understood to bo the intention of the Truckee Lumber Company to immediately begiu the construction of the mill with a view to the manufacture and shipment of lumber. Important to I-mlie-i. Bead what Jeannio "Winston, Port land's favorite prima donna, says of Wisdom's Kebartinu: Portland, Dec. 22, 1886. To Mr. W. M. Wisdem: The "Bob6rtine" you eo kindly sent me io excellent. It is tho finest prepara tion I have ever used, and is a de cided acquisition to a lady's toilet. Yours truly, Jeankie Winston. The above is published in order to settle all doubts and disputes as to tho existence of such an endorse ment, and as evidence of the high esteem in which Wisdom's Rober tine is held. This preparation has been before the public but a short time, yet tho sale has been extraor dinary. Wisdom's Robertino is for sale by all tho leadiug druggists. Won By Strnve, ihz Sprinter. Tho 100-yard race for $1,000 a side, between Ed. Skinner, an eastern sprinter, and Harry Struve, of Seattle, took place at City View park yester day afternoon. Tho track was icy and in bad conditiou. Biliy Ayers was the referee, nud Frank Lynch and Bob. Campbell, judge?. The start was au excellent una and tho men kept well together. Not over ten inches separated them during the run. Slrave crossed the line six inches in the lead, winning iu 9ji seconds. Skinner protested against the pay ment of the stakes. He oiaimed that he was in the lend when eighty yards had been covered and that Struve el bowed him, throwing him behind. News, 11. Fob Btifiiln and I.orkct L.cc.

An effort is now in hand in this city and vicinity, by which the prac ticability of the cultivation of hops will bo thoroughly tested in this couuty. Those who have had prac tical experience in hop culture say that the soil aud seasons of Clatsop county are perfeotly adapted to the successful production of hops. The soil of the valleys possesses all the elements essential to the growth and maturity of this crop, and tho char acter of the seasons vane3 but little, it any, from tbatof the seasons ol neighboring sections of the north west where hops already constitute a large, increasing and profitable in dustry. Particularly do the quali ties of Boil and climate correspond with those of the famous Puyallup and White river valleys in Washing ton territory, where the annual in come from the sale of hops alone reaches into millions of dollars, and that, too. on a comparatively small acreage. It would appear, therefore, that the cultivation of hop3 may be pursued successfully- by the farmers of this couuty. T. ere is certainly great inducement to produce u crop in which tlieie is such a large profit to the producer, ordinarily, as in that ol Lop i. The estimated proportion of faniire to success, in tho produc tion of hops, is as three to seven; that is, taking a period of ten years as a basis for the calculation, the average yield per acre of hops is 1,500 pounds, tho average price per pound during a period of ten years is at least twenty-five cents; the cost per pound of tho production of hops from the time the poles are set untii tho crop is in the bale, ready for shipment, is from eight to ten cents. It will be seen, therefore, that tho net profit to the producer, exclusive of the expense of transporting the crop to market, is. at average figures, $300 per acre, deduct from this a reasonable sum tor contingencies (say S50 per aore) and the farmer will have remaining at least $259 as a result of his culti vation of a single acre of ground. From those figures it may bo de duced that a field of fifteen or twenty acres of hops, which may" be easily cultivated to maturity by one man and team, will briug a handsome re turn for the labor and expense be stowed upon it. The snbjeot of hop culture in Clat sop county should receive consider ation at the hands of farmers and business men. Who will exhibit the first figures as a result of practical demonstration? Free Trade. Tho reduction of internal revenue and the taking off revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the con sumers, as well as relieving tho bur den of home manufacturers. Especial ly is this the caso with Green's August Flower and Bosohec's 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 the 75 cent size. The August Floioer for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and tho German Syrup for Cough aud Lung troubles, have perhaps, tho largest sale of any medicines in the world. Tho advantage of in creased size of tho bottles will bo greatly appreciated by the- sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries.

MY little son, aged eight years, has been afllicicd with Eczema, of tho scalp, ana at times a great portion of the boay, ever since ho wa-s two years old. It bojian in his ears, and extended to his scalp, which be came covered with .scabs and sores, and from which a sticky fluid poured out. caus ing intense Itching and distress, and leaving his hair matted and lifeless. Underneath these scabs the skin was raw, like a piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came nut and was destroyed, until "but a smad patch was left at the 'back of ths head. My friends In t'eabudy know how wv llitle boj has sur fered. At night e wuuld scratch his head until his pillow was covered with blood. 1 used to tie his hands behind blni, and in manv ways tried to prevent 'his scratching : but Jt was no use. he would s ratch. I took him to the hospital and to the best physi cians In Peabody without surcevi. About this time, some friends, who had been ured by the CoricuitA Kemedies prev.Ul-d up-1 ou me to try them. I begau to umj them on I the 15th of January last, Iu seven mouths every particle ol tne uisease was remnveu. Not a spot or a scab remains on his sc.i'p to tell tiie story of his mffering. His hair has reiiiiuen, aim is iiiick .inc. sinng, aua nis scalp as sweet and clean as any child's in the world, I cannot say enough to express my gratitude for this wonderful cure by the Cuticura kemedies, and w sh all similar ly afflicted to know that my statement Is true and without exaggeration.
