CtJ bc SathJ tft0Mm. ASTOKIA. OREGON: SUNDAY.. JUNE 10. 18S8. Pbestdent Cleveland is the first Democratic president renominated in 48 years. . - - The other day a steamer made fast to a dock at Dulutb, adjusted six re ceiving spouts, took on 52,000 bushels of wheat and was off with her load in forty-nine minutes. mi HejvBT. Villakd writes confirming the statement that he is about to un dertake an expedition to the South Pole. Dr. Neumayer, a director of the Deutsche Zevxirte of Hamburg, will co-operate with him. It is becoming plainer with every week that the present constitution of the French republic cannot last much longer. Inside and outside of the chamber of deputies it is assailed by almost every political faction and from every sort of motive. m I The workmen on the great Eiffel tower in Paris have struck, on the ground that the higher they go, the greater the danger is. There are 200 of them, earning on an average 80 cents a day. If their wages are to rise with the tower, it will not go very much further. i Natural gas has caused in the past three years, the Insurance Chronicle finds, seventy-five fires in Pennsylvania, causing a total loss of 900,151, of which 3700,430 was cov ered by insurance. This make3 nat ural gas one of the most destructive fire causes on the list. A Florida hotel-keeper retiring at the end of an unprofitable season re marks: "It is with a feeling of sad ness that I retire from active control, but the house is left with a gentle man abler than I am, financially to handle it The gentleman 13 well known in this community. He is the sheriff." The unpleasant discovery ha3 been madethatthe benes that have been shipped recently from Cario to Eng land for fertilizing purposes, and which were supposed to be those of giraffes, antelopes, eta, are, many of them, the bones of English soldiers killed in Egypt, the natives having followed the terrible practice of dig on battle fields and pulling the bodies from trenches. P.. M. Abbuthnot of Beaver Falls, Pa, has an old hovse that for many years has not been known to go fas ter than a dog trot For several weeks past, however. Mr. Arbuthnot has been feeding him on malt from one of the neighboring breweries, and the animal seems to have become a a raving maniac He is unmanage able and frishy as a two-year-old colt, and a terror to all who have had any experience with him. A well was bored at Louisville, Ky., several months ago, from which mineral water and natural gas have since been flowing. Samuel K. Mil ler, a young man who believed the water to be beneficial, drank two or three glasses a day for several days. A few days ago he began vomiting, and peritonitis ensued, from which he died. His body turned livid with in fifteen minutes. Several physi cians have forbidden the use of the water to their clientage till an exami nation shall have been made. A device has been patented to keep the shell of the oyster closed from the time it is captured until it is openea ana set ueiore an epicure 1,000 miles away. It is a simple piece of wire twisted around the oys ter shell with a pair of pincers and then sealed. Close an oyster's mouth and he will preserve himself for weeks three months is the tfane claimed. Oysters were recently locked up this way and sent to Den ver, where they were opened and found to be of an excellent flavor. Woman has done much in the past few years to disabuse the masculine mind of the deeply rooted fact that she is a timid creature; that the sight of a mouse would throw her into a fit of hysterics. She began to rid her self of this calumny when she first placed live Brazilian bugs in her hair by way of ornament, andBhe quite threw off the yoke when she took lit erally to her heart that uncouth species, with the clammy, spider-like legs, know as the "Machette bug." The ultra-fashionable woman wears her "Machette," which is some two or three inches in length, encased in a gold harness; and permits it to wan der at will over her shoulders and throat It is a matter of congratula tion that these (manning ornaments are imported sparingly. Live lizards also writhed themselves into the favor of a few, who test their own courage and the endurance of their friends, by petting them tenderly and wearing them as shoulder decorations. THE FIBST PIONEERS. Data of the First Expedition to the North west Coast. Seattle, June 7. 1888. To the Editer: As pioneer data is at this time of interest, may I be allowed to give a few facts re garding the original discoveries on this coast, and figures in connection with its earliest history. Being a grandson of the original projector of discovery, Charles Bul finch, of Boston, I have esteemed it proper to try and correct some mis taken ideas regarding our early his tory, and from documents in my pos session, make the following quota queta quota teons: From the time of the subju gation of the Mexican empire by opain, apamsu amDition lea to a series of discoveries on the north west coast of America, most of which were unknown to other nations till after Capt Cook's voyage. Capt. Cook made no discoveries south of 57 degrees north. The his tory of his last voyage having been published in England, and the rich lur trade on the northwest coast becoming known to the world, the coast became thronged with English, Spanish, American and Rus sian navigators. Invited by the great profits in this trade, the United States, in 1787, commenced her discoveries, explorations and possessions, which gave her, aside of the purchase from France, and the deed from Spain, a clear right to the Oregon country. Charles Bulfinch, Joseph Barrel!, Crowell Hatch and others, all of Boston, at the instigation of Mr. Bulfinch, the principal owner, planned a voyage of trade and dis covery to the northwest coast. They fitted out two vessels: one a ship of about 250 tons, called the Columbia Redivina; the other a sloop of 100 tons, called the Yfashington. Captains John KendncK ami iiout. Gray were appointed to the com mand of the vessels, Kendrick in the CoZHm&ia, and Gray in the Washing ton. They sailed Ootober 1st, 1787, patronized by congress, and the state of Massachusetts. The Columbia arrived at Nootka sound, on the 16th of September, 1788, and the WasJi ington soon after. In 1789 Capt Gray entered the Straits of Fuca, which he explored into the interior for sixty miles. Before leaving the coast these ves sels exchanged masters. The Colum bia, after extending her voyage to Canton, China, returned to Boston. Again she sailed for the northwest coast, and on June 5, 1791, entered Clayoquot Sound, which place in the former voyage was called Hancook's harbor. The Indian chief Clishinah informed Captain Gray that a Span ish ship was there, but no British vessel had been seen since one that the Spaniards had captured some time previously. CaDtain Kendrick arrived at Clayo quot on the 29th of August, having uougnt oi me natives mmr ltuiueu es tate lying south 240 miles on the coast navincr them in muskets, iron. copper and clothing. Here the first keel was laid and the first vessel built on the Pacific coast, being the sloop Adventure, which Captain Kend rick built to penetrate the sounds and shallow waters. In March, 1792, Captain Gray left this place, and on May 11th, 1792, while sailing snug to the coast, in latitude forty-six degrees and nine teen minutes north, he discovered and entered one of the largest and most beautiful rivers in North Amer ica. He named the river after his ship ''Columbia." Vancouver, who was at this time at Nootka, receiving from Captain Gray information of this river, sent his first lieutenant to survey its mouth. In 1803, the United States ordered an expedition under Captains Merriwether Lewis and William Clarke, to explore from its source, to the ocean this majestic river. They took formal possessor! of it. and built at its mouth Fort Clatsop. CaDtain Kendrick. for convenience. had the sloop Washington "newly rigged as a brigantine, and pursued the objects of the enterprise, in get ting possession of and buying various tracts of land. In a voyage to the Sandwich islands, he fired a salute in compliment to a British ship of war then in that port. The salute was returned by the Englishman, when unhappily he was strnck by a cannon ball, and lost his life. Previ ous to this, he had sent a letter and several deeds to Jefferson, then sec retary of state. For many years, as we all know, there was joint occupancy by our country and England, of the whole northwest; then came the treaty de fining the limits of both, but the Co lumbia company's claim as owners of land was disallowed, it being held it was national not corporate holdings that was acquired, and tne company, as such, got nothing, not even ex penses of the voyage. So far I have traced the above from words written by my father, Francis V. Bulfinch, now deceased. livery word is closelv connected with incidents of family history, and every worn nas tne endorsement of tne ac tors therein. Very respectfully, John T.
