h ad signed by D. L. Cates, sheriff and
x collector.
A gentleman wko is an authority in
fluential railway circles, remarking
1st evening upon the Arlington steal on
a car load of salt referred to in yester
day's Chbohiclb, says it was a bold bluff
on the part of the Union Pacific, and
nothing more, as they could not, by any
other method, collect a Portland rate on
a haul from The Dalles and the railroad
commission will 60 decide; when the case
comes up before them, as it is sure to
come. -
Quite a number of voune men inter
ested in the organization of a base ball
clnb met in the citv hall last night. As
a result of their deliberations next Fri
day night was appointed as the time of
holdine another meeting in the same
place to perfect the organization. -
Maybe the Chbonicle readers think
the Pacific express company is in busi
ness for its health. If so that's where
they fool themselves. James Cameron,
who lives on Mill Creek, sometime ago
thought he would like to get a bushel of
good seed corn from his old home in Rock-
ford, Illinois. The corn was sent for
and it arrived at the Pacific express of
fice one day last week. The express
charges on this particular bushel, weigh
ing 65 pound, are exactly $10.05 or more
than 16 cents a ' pound. The express
company has a bushel of Illinois seed
corn for sale. ' .
The report that the Unfon Pacific sys
tem felt happy to be relieved of its steam
boat service on Puget sound, seemstobe
doubted in transportation circles. They
perhaps had no choice in the matter. As
they only receive a subsidy of $300 per
month, and have taken off a million dol
lars worth of steamboat property .includ
ing the Victorian, Olympian, North Pa
cific, George E. Starr and one other, five
in all, it does not require an expert math
ematician to calculate the real cause for
the withdrawal from the field. The
"system" has perhaps outlived its days
of usefulness over there, if it ever had
any, much the same as it will here, very
soon, following up the line of its present
grasping policy.
. The four pedestrians whom the Taco
ma Ledger has subsidized to travel on
foot from Tacoma to Chicago, arrived in
this city yesterday afternoon and camped
on the company's lot west of the Colum
bia hotel. The party consists of three
men and one woman, the latter dressed
like her companions, in men's clothes.
Thev chatted pleasantly to a crowd of
onlookers who watched them unpack the
contents of their wheelbarrow and pitch
their tent for the night. The parts gets
$2,500 $625 each from the Ledger for
making the trip to Chicago by the
month of August. One of the men sends
reports of the journey to the Ledger and
the trip is intended as an advertisement
for that journal. On the march the
woman heads the procession carrying a
United States flag. One of the men
pushes the wheelbarrow while another
in front pulls with a rope. They make
progress at the rate of about 15 miles a
day and having left the city this morning
expect to camp at Celilo tonight. The
party sells jumping jacks and photo
graphs of themselves to help pay the ex
penses of the trip. The costume of the
woman so obscures her sex that more
than one of our citizens had to ask the
question which of them is the woman?
The Telegram account yesterday of the
first brick building in Portland, needs to
be corrected. The building stands on
the south east corner of Front and Oak,
opposite Corbett, Failing & Co.'s old
stand, and was built in 1848, by a broth
er of the millionaire merchant Coleman,
of California. The building on the cor
ner of First and Oak, similar in appear
ance, and to which the Telegram refers
was built by Hon. Josiah Failing,. the
father of Portland's Public School sys
tem ; about the year 1852. When these
buildings were put up a strong rivalry
existed between the town of Portland
and town-sites all down along the rivers
to Astoria.. At upper Astoria the gov
ernment, through Gen. John Adair, had
just completed the first Federal building
on the Pacific coast, at enormous ex
pense. It was a frame structure, and is
still standing, but superanuated. This
structure, then the custom house for the
Oregon collections district, gave Astoria
the best end of the controversy for some
time, but after Portland began the erec
tion of "permanent brick structures,
and Capfc. Couch remonstrated with the
government officials for borrowing and
wearing out his tubs, weighing imported
salt, etc., congress allowed the secretary
of the treasury to issue documents, etc.
covering a "port of delivery" at Portland-on-Wallamet.
Finally the Willamette
collections district was created, and Port
land became headquarters. The brick
buildings, on Oak Btreet, undoubtedly
furnished the start, which has since lead
on to supremacy.
From the Daily Chronicle, Thursday. '
Another cut in goods today at the store
of N. Harris.
Dr. Siddall will leave for Portland
the morning to return on Saturday.
George A. Young, of Bake Oven, came
into- town yesterday afternoon and is
stopping at the Umatilla house.
The young people's society of Chris
tian Endeavor, of the M. E. church of
Belmont, Hood River, gave an enter
tainment at the church last evening,
consisting of vocal and instrumental
music, declamations, etc., closing with a
bounteous supper at the parsonage. . It
was their first entertainment and was in
every respect s grand success. j
W. K. Corson, of the firm of Chrisman
& Corson, has returned from the consol
idated city. He says the religious furor
occasioned by the Mills' meetings, makes
every day appear like Sunday in Port
land. .
Ed. Calkins, of Hood River, gave The
ChbonkJle a pleasant call today. He
reports that while .the frost gave the
fruit prospects a close call a couple of
nights ago, nothing, so far as is known
is injured. .The prospects for a largi
crop of strawberries are especially bright
and they will come in two weeks earlier
than they did last year. Most of the
strawberry crop is already contracted
for and at higher figures than those of
any previous year. It is reported that
Mr. Coon has sold his. entire output
nine acres, at fourteen cents a box. At
that rate, strawberry culture in Hood
nver valley ought to be equal to a gold
mine. . -
W. E. Garretson has just received
from the Roy Watch Case Company one
of the prettiest things in the- line of
watch charms we have ever seen.' It is
an ordinary gold keystone with tne
photo-miniature of his little boy blasted
on porcelain in the center of the jewel
It is the first production of the kind ever
accomplished in the United States so
the Roy Watch company informs Mr,
Garretson. The photograph is as per
fect as it was when it was on paper and
is so hard that an ordinary filo will not
scratch it. How the picture was ever
blown on the porcelain at white heat
as the company says without in the
least defacing it, is a mystery.
Uncle Linus Hubbard is, in his own
quiet, unobtrusive way, doing every
thing he can to further the interests of
an open river. He has procured at con
siderable expense photographs of the
Lwhaleback Wetmore passing through the
Soo canal with appropriate inscription
showing what will happen when the
Columbia river is open to the
These photographs have been sent far
and near to editors and boards of trade
and senators and representatives. To
day he addressed a letter to an old time
friend who is secretary of the Buffalo,
N. Y., merchants' exchange, urging him
to use all honorable efforts to get the
representatives of the great state of New
York interested in having done 'for the
people of Eastern Oregon, Washington
and. Idaho what has been done for the
people of New York by the Erie canal-
open up the interior by water transpor
tation. ( '
- Union Pacific Stealings.
A short time since, the Merchants of
Arlington learned that they could save
about 20 per cent, of freight charges on
merchandise from Portland by shipping
through the Dalles, Portland and Astoria
Navigation company. - Thereupon, J. W,
Smith ordered a carload of salt shipped
this way. The goods came in due time,
the liecord says, with a net saving
of $17.00, after paying the railroad
company the amount to - which it
was entitled; but after the same was
delivered by the drayman there Mr,
was informed that the railroad bad as
sumed to transact this whole business for
him, and that their agent here would be
held accountable for the full amount of
that company's charges, at full rates from
Portland to Arlington. Under this com
bination of .circumstances, Mr. Smith
paid the over charge, but has not aban
doned the idea that merchants and
shippers on this side of The Dalles can
save quite a sum by patronizing cheap
river transportation that. far. The leg
itimate charge in this, little instance
would be: From Portland to The-Dalles,
two-thirds the distance 15 cents, from
Dalles to Arlington, one-third the dis
tance, 19 cents ; but by adding a $25,00
steal the transaction results as above,
We are informed that some of the Con-
aon merchants nave been treated in a
similar manner. The .matter .will be
properly and epeedily investigated.
Want aJWrlte-up.
Referring to a class of outside papers
that send representatives around, at
opportunities, to write up a city "for
revenue only." The Astoria Herald
says : "This city is blessed with them
just now, and it is probable that - from
$5,000 to $10,000 can be raised among
Astorians for this purpose. The news
papers of Astoria receive less than ,$800
a month from the advertisers in Astoria.
These papers are expected to boom the
town, mail sample copies east to induce
immigration, employ over sixty persons,
spend .all their money in Astoria, but
when it comes to raising $5,000 or $10,
000 to advertise the city, it must be
given to a newspaper from 100 to 10,000
miles away. Twenty pages in the ' Ex
aminer or 100 pages in the Telegram,
will not be as much benefit to Astoria as
one column of facts published in an
Astoria paper. These write-ups are
simply boom articles, and are so recog
nized by intelligent men throughout the
country, and it is money wasted. The
three papers published in; Astoria pay
out to their employes every month not
less than $1,800 or over $20,000 every
year. J.very dollar of this money is
spent in Astoria. The solicitors of out
side papers come to Astoria, stay a week
spend $20, and take from $5,000 to $10,-
000 away with them. This may. be
business, but it is a contemptible mean
business."
As a proof that there is undoubtedly a
lingering sense of decency in the demo
cratic party, many of the best journals
of that faith denounce Hill and his
methods as menancingjto the liberties of
a free people.
Employment For Beys.
There is an institution in Astoria that
is doing good work among the boys, and
which is not generally known. - Rev,
Dilworth, of the Presbyterian church,
has a class of about fifteen boys, whom
he is teaching the art of type setting,
type writing, scroll sawing, besides some
of the sciences. Thev meet there two or
three evening in each week, says the
Herald, and occasionally the good ladies
oi tne cnurcn serve refreshments and
many enjoyable evenings are spent. It
is far better for the boys and keeps them
on tne streets, ana Mr. uuwortn is cer
tainly doing a noble and christian work
which will be appreciated. He makes
no charges for the service and does it
for the benefit of the boys. This is the
kind of missionary work that m-oduces
. . . "V . . .... . -

Editor Chronicle:
If my memory serves me right, there
was a resolution passed at the late
republican county convention pledging
tne legislative nominees io me construc
tion of the "dalles portage," but have
looked in vain to see .it appear in the
papers. Even the Sun which is harping
on a railroad song, passed it over in
silence. Has some enterprising brother
suppressed it? " Alpha.
The omission of the res'olution. so far
as The Cilbonicle is -concerned, was
simply an oversight on the part of the

The Oldest Gunner Dead. -
The oldest gunner in the United States
navy, tne venerable tteorge sinan, died
the other day in Portsmouth, Va. His
life was full of romance and advex
tores. Born in 1817. on the Greek isle
of Ipsalia, he was made a homeless or
phan by the attack and massacre by the
Turks of the inhabitants of that island
in 1826. The bombardment of the Turks
by the old Constitution "Old Ironsides"
saved the lives of a large number, and
he was among eleven boys who survived
and were brought away by that gallant
old vessel. He was brought home by
Lieutenant Randolph, of Richmond, the
executive officer of the ship.
Later he was taken by Mr. Marshall.
