Tee volume of law3 passed at the last session of the legislature has about as few mistakes as appear im possible to avoid in a work of that nature. In the title to the act creat ing the office of recorder in certain counties the names of Linn, Marion, Washington and Yamhill are the only ones specicfied, while in the body of the aot are mentioned Umatilla, Un ion,Clatsop and Clackamas.

Regarding the bark Helen Almy, due from ban rancisco with com bustibles aboard, the city council will this morning convey instruc tions to harbor master Curran to order the vessel upon arrival in the river to lie a mile away from the city; it will be optional with the master of the vessel whether he lias below Smith's point or above Tongue point; the point is to have the ves sel far enough away from the city so that, should she blow up, there would be somebody left to see and hear it and report the calamitv. ., A brand new species of ghost has been unearthed in northern Califor nia. It is the spook of an alleged girl, and when the family has gone to bed it comes and fixes the fire all ready to start in the kitchen stove in the morning, and splits kindling in the woodshed, and puts some bread to raise, and cleans up shelves, etc. There is some style about a ghost like that Instead of kicking and getting scared about it, that northern California family ought to silently re joice over their great good luck. Some folks never know when they have struck a good thing. A ghost like that is a handy thing to have around so long as it behaves -itself and doesn't break the dishes and re mains invisible to the juvenile mem bers of the family. The captain of the liicer Indus, now lying at the foot of K street. East Portland, is a mnoh disgusted man. MI was sent out here to get a cargo of wheat "and salmon,'' he said to a reporter, "but when I got here "and asked for my cargo, I was told tfiat the wheat would be harvested ?his fall, unless the -crop failed, and that the salmon were out in the ocean, but they were expected to run up the river soon, when they would be caught and cooked and canned; (?;!tc fhuh? gstoriatt and some time during the summer there would be enough for a cargo. This is the charming state of expec tancy in which I nra to lie around here all sninsr.or." The doughty cap tain was assured by a Tile ff ram re porter that crops never fail m Oregon and that time alone was necessary to complete his cargo. The wreckage reported to have been picked up on the beach, says the Aberdeen Herald, is undoubtedly that of the brig North Star, as the letters R. T. H. S. T. A., would indi cate. She sailed from the Sound two months ago, and is among the miss ing. Captain William Traenor, wjio was in command of the Trustee when that Vessel was lost nn tViP Rnif riff Peterson's Point one year ago, had oeen in tne norm mar since that time, but lust beforA Railing on whnt proved to be her final trip, he was called to San Francisco by the death of his wife, and gave the brig over to CapL Williams, who has been to Gray's harbor a number of times as master of the brig Orient, and later as mate on the Novelty. The North Star undoubtedly foundered in the gale of April 1st, in which the ships Saint Stephens and EI Dorado were lost. A new departure in the way of car- j rying lumber coastwise, says the Post. I is about to be made by the Fortj Bragg Redwood Company. This cor- j poration has had the tug Sea Lion under charter for a month, and hns employed her in towing the schooner j Nora Ifarkins between Fort Brairg and southern California ports A!- j though the schooner can earn but 275,000 feet of lumber, the experiment was successful far beyond expecta tion. The company is nw having it steam schooner with a e.in:uilv nt 325,000 feet built at White's 8!iipyiml at isortniieaoli. bue will ho huuiolipii about June 1st. It is the intent ion ' to begin the construction of two r three sea-croinc barces with n. ivn.ic ity of 800,000 to 1,000,000 feet, and ! have the steam schooner tow them up and down the coast. The barge will not be flat bottomed, aud they will j be ntteu out with small masts. Thev ' will cost about $40,000. ( Shortness of Ureal in I DR.

Farther statement from Ilwaco yes terday afternoon confirms tho fact that "the killing of Ross and tho wounding of King at Ilwaco last Tuesday night were the result of an unfortunate encounter between men that had nothing but tho same pur pose in view, viz: to guard some wob that was drying near the town. It ap pears that an Indian named "Tilla mook Tom." had been placed on guard and it was he that excited the suspicions of the party of three and they, demanding to know who ho was and what he was doing there, re ceived death dealing shots in re sponse. It is further said that it was only after being fired at and chased till'almost run down that the Indian turned and fired on his pursuers. Bad as the result is, it is with relief it is learned that there was no hostile meeting as at first feared, and the in stance serves as a sad illustration of caution whenever fire arms are in the hands of excited and excitable men. It is learned from a reliable source that Major W.A. Jones, of the U. S. engineer corps is expected down here shortly to make personal examination of the position and location of the traps in Baker's bay, their effect upon the channels, their relation to naviga tion, etc, and will make a report to the government thereon. None but the general government can assume requisite control or direc tion of this much vexed matter, and if some definite conclusion or order concerning it can be arrived at, it will tend to settle a matter over which there has been years of dispute aud contention. Since tho above was in type the following wa3 received from The As wan's Ilwaco correspendent: Ilwaco, May 20, 18S7. At tiie coroner's inquest held yes terday, the jury decided that "Tilla mook Tom,'7 the man who was guard ing Colbert's net, and who shot Ros3 and King, was justified in doing so, and exonerated him from all blame. Sheriff Turner searched the house from which those bloody rags were reported to be thrown aud found nothing that would lead to substan tiate such a report. It started from a gossipy neighbor. Archio Ross' funeral took place at 2 p.m. Services conducted by Judge Daltou, who read the Episcopal burial service in an impressive man ner. The Heath family formed tho choir, and tho school house was not large enough to accommodato the many friends and sympathizers. The remains wero buried in a beautiful spot across the Whealdon lake. King is doing well and will be out soon. The name of the Indian that killed Ross is Thomas Dalzan. He is the man who killed Duncan at Clatsop plains about three years ago. Astonishing Sucre. It is tho duty of every person who has usod Hosciee's German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consump tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, aud in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relievo any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 80,000 dozen bottles weio sold last ear, and no one caso where it failed was reported.
