The parly of four who left Forest Grove on the 12th for the purpose of descending the Nehalem river to its mouth, reached home last Friday.

The schooner UTollie Adams Jike the Oscar and JIattie,nl fish along Flattery banks on her way north to Alaska, where she will complete her cargo. Tho expenses of coming in from Cape Flattery with a cargo of fresh halibut and chartering cars to carry the fish to east are quite heavy, and the crew now favor the idea of making longer trips and paching the fish before shipping them to eastern cities. The Mollie Adams is carry ing out the idea of loading a car of salt and provisions at Seattle, for an extended trip to Alaska. Several of onr Ala3ka cannerymen are greatly annoyed and are caused an actual loss on account of the delay in their mails some place between Port Townsend and Astoria. Let ters from Alaska by the Ancon reached Portland the morning of the 23rd and no Alaska mail has arrived at Astoria yet, and this has been the usnal way, it has nearly alwajs taken four or five days from Port Townsend to Astoria. This delay prevent the cannery men from filling orders ur gently required to carry on their business. The immediate attention of the TJ. S. Postal agent is directed to this matter. In response to an advertisment for bids J. w. Conn, on behalf of the Clatsop county road and construction company, received four bids, which were rejected, being considered too high. It is the present intention of tne company to do the work by day's work, and begin about the 1st of next month, by which time the lum ber will bo on the ground. The first work will be to straighten the curve below Sam'l Elmore's cannery, and anerwara to drive piling and simi larly straighten the bend at the Sea side cannery. The next move, when that is completed, might with great propriety, be the beginning of the building of the Clatsop bridge. W. T. Coleman & Co' Affairs. San Francisco, July 23. II was learned to day that Wm. T. Coleman, of the suspended firm of Wm.T. Cole man & Co., communicated with his creditors on Saturday last, offering to pay 40 cents on the dollar of his indebtedness, 10 per cent, to be paid in cash, and the balance in equal pay ments at one, twoand three years from the date of tlio first tmvmont. Furthermore a division was to be made whenever 5 per cent, of the in debtedness is on hand, irrespective of time. The schedule filed two mouths ago shows total liabilities of 82,919, 993. The assets were first thought to greatly exceed this amount, but are now Known to nave been overesti mated, and that Mr. Coleman's as signees give it as their opinion that 40 cents on tho dollar is as much as he can possibly pay. They believe me proposition wm be accepted by the creditors though as the latter are some what scattered, some weeks may elapse, and that the firm will yet resume ousincss. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be af flicted? If you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-day it is as common ns any word in the English language, yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Billiousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its func tions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Billious Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreoiato a cure.

Every Night I Scratched Until tlie Skin was Hmv. Body Covered with. Scales like Spots of Mortar. Cared by the Cutlcurt. .Remedies. I am eoing to tell you of tho extraordinary change your Ccticuea Keukcie3 performed on mo. About the 1st of April last I noticed some red pimples like coming eut all over my body, but thought nothing of it nntil somo time later on, when it began to look like snots of mortar spotted on, and which came off in layers, accompanied with itching. I would scratch every night until I was raw, then tho nextniriit the scales, being formed mean while, wero scratched off again. In vain did I consult all the doctors in the country, but without aid. After giving up all hopes of re covery, I happened to see an advertiscmen in the newspaper about your Ccticur Krst iCDira, and purchased them front my druggist, and obtainod almost immediate relief. 1 bo gan to notice that the scaly eruptions gradu ally dropped o&T and disappeared one by one. and have been fully cured. I had the disease thirteen months before I began taking the Cctictjra Kemediks, and in four or fivo weeks was entirely cured. My disease was eczema and psoriasis. I recommended the Cuticuba Keuedies to all in my vicinity, and I know of a great many who have taken them, and thank me for the knowledgeof them, especial ly mothers who have babes with scaly erup tions on their heads and bodies. I cannot ex press in words the thanks to you for what the Cuticura Remedies have been to mo. My awful spectacle to behold. Now my skin is as nice and clear as a baby's. UEU. CUTE1, Merrill. Wis.

Skepticism. By reason of the state of chronic incredulity in which many men pass their lives they miss half .the good of this world. They seem to think that doubt andnnbelief are proofs of wisdom, and through fear of being deceived reject much that is true and good. To such minds the statement that Dr. Pierce's Golden" Medical Discovery is a real and proven cure for all diseases caused by torpid liver, bad blood or . scrofulous humors carries with it its 'own condemnation. They do not believe It, apparently, beeanse we say so; and yet what more, or less, than this can we do? We know the facts, and if we did not make public the great value of this remedy few would profit by it.
