Tee volume of law3 passed at the

about as few mistakes as appear im

Washington and Yamhill are the only
ones specicfied, while in the body of
the aot are mentioned Umatilla, Un

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. (

A SORROWFUL MISTAKE.
The Ihvaco Shooting the Result of a
Misunderstanding.
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

many friends and sympathizers. The
remains wero buried in a beautiful
spot across the Whealdon lake.

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. Such a medicine as
the German Syrup cannot be too
widely known. Ask your druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try sold
at 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cents.
