A. C. Ross, engineer of the steamer Ilwaco, at Astoria, caught with n hook and line the first man-eating shark that has ever been captured in the Columbia river. It is of the genuine great shark species, and is verv youna, being onlv-j three feet in length. It will be pre served and presented to the chamber of commerce. Free trade is doomed. The recent elections gave it its death knell. Mr. Culberson, chairman of the committee of ways and means, and Mr. Bland and and a host of democratic congressmen, have so declared it. The warning voice of the people from Ohio, Pennsylvnnia, Sew York, Massachusetts and New Jersey has been heard. The twenty dollar gold piece has been coined ever since 1S50 and contains $20 worth of gold besides the alloy. The total amount coined is $l,103,,J,J2,.fS0 up to July 1891.

The visible for ten years has increased yearly until January. Averages and comparisons for a score of years lead us to believe this season will lie no excep tion to the rule. Simulation has de creed that but four months (or times) in the year shall constitute popular trading months ; custom ha established the habit of liquidation just preceding the beginning of eacli of these four months, Ieceuiler, May, July aud September. Many leading money-making short sell ers claim they have found the "spout" that adds the must dollars to their bank accounts is by selling nearby futures freely just before liquidation days occur. Bulls always consider wheat, speculat ively speaking, about large delivery days, is a good purchase for handsome gains, regardless of all statistical condi tions. Our impulses for weeks past have assured us about Thanksgiving it will be a good time to buy some w heat for an advance. Small deliveries were made in many markets the first of this month, and a depression existed. It is but natural an advance is due, and will occur before liquidation by the masses and classes take place a month hence. Statistical conditions the world over ap pear to be unchanged, fall crop re ports are about an average. The Oehooo Review says : This mul tiplicity of proclamations, sotting aside two separate days of thanksgiving. Is rather confusing Jo us in this isolated and unenlightened region. We are thankful for the bounties bestowed upon us; we are desirous of showing our grat itude, and would willingly fall on our knees and thank the Lord for His good ness if we only knew on which day to otter homage. Hut we are confused ; we are uncertain whether we are eituens of the United States or Oregon, hence are undecided whether to follow in the wake of Cleveland or Pennoyer. Further, we aie unadvised whether the president or the governor is in closest touch with the Supreme Ruler and are liable to oil the "whole kettle of fish" by obeying the dictates of one who is just now in dis favor with the powers on high. These are precarious times, and we can't afford to make anv mistake. AGAINST THE FARMER. That U tha Uaourd The Dalle Ik Mow Making. Whenever the president signs an im portant congressional enactment and makes it the law of the land there is asuullr considerable competition to secure as a relic the pen with which the essential word "Approved" was written. Any further fooiisu talk on the part of the administration of restoring the prof ligate queen Liiiokulani to the Hawaiian throne will bring a hornet's nest about the ears of the president and his chameleon-! :k"e secretary of state. It is as sumed, contrary to a great deal of evi dence, tiiat United States troops took an active part in tiie deposition of the queen and the restoring of a provisional government in her place. This can 1 successfully contradicted, no matter what the findings of '"my commissioner" has been, who has combined the silence of a clam with the pugnacity of a bull dog. The troops were called out merely There has eldoui been a bill that has exeitad more general interest than the ,0 protect American property interests bill which renealed the purchasing ! D Honolulu, and by the time of their clause of the Sherman silver law. The president signed the bill with an ordin ary steel stub pen. No one has as yet eliown the least desire for the possession of this article, and the lack of interest in the matter is a subject of general sur prise. Although it is not known as a fact, it is believed that the president will present the pen and holder to Sena tor Voorhees as a slight token of appre ciation of the prominent part be took in accomplishing the result so much de sired by the administration. If a man takes a ride of the average length, which is almost 24 miles, in a railroad train in this country, what is his chance of getting killed? a?ks the Pittsburg Times. According to the In teresting report of the Interstate Com merce Commission, just out. It is one chance in 1,401,910. If a young man of 20, jilted by his sweetheart, should de termine to commit suicide without sin by getting accidentally killed in s rail road accident he might do it. Certain ly he might do it. If he were to get on a train as a passenger and ride, at the rate of 3o' miles an hour, day and night every hour of every day and every day in tiie year, if he had average luck he would eventually get a surcease from the gnawing pain at Ids heart some where in the course of passing over 35,542,432 miles, for according to these official figures one passenger is killed for every 35,542,282 miles that a passenger is carried. MARKET REPORT. Ti'khuav, Nov. 14 Business during the past few day f has improved. Mer chandise and groceries on the tn.irkut continue on stead v prices. The produce and poultry market is dull, owing to a free delivery and a limited demand. The eg supply is short anil tiie deliverings are very limited, to .50 cents casn is being paid by some dealers and even then a complaint is made that the price will not bring in any greater nnnibor of dozens. The butter tuarket is off in every sense of tiie word, and tfie q nota tions today cannot exceed 50 cents per roll for the best glt edge. The fruit market is unchanged and is fully stocked. Pork is advancing and bids fair to bring a good price. We are unable to get quotations but one thing is known that it is higher. Tie wheat market continues dull and weak. It is generally conceded that the wheat market has reached bottom, and there is a looking forward to Decemlier, when there will be an advance of several cents iier htisnel. hat it will be is only a conjecture. The wool market is still dull and life less. It is expected that the market will stiffen in the near future. ICELAND" A DESERT. In discussing the silver bill Senator Teller spoke with great bitterness of the desertion of the cause of silver by the republican senators. "To me this in the most terrible moment of my legislative life," said Teller with much feeling. "To me it brings more fear than any oiher since I entered public life. I fear we are entering on a financial system from which there is absolutely no escape. I know there will be no favorable legis lation for silver until the American people are heard from at the ballot box and heard from in a way that will com jiei attention to their desires." Here Teller's voice choked and tears came to bis eyes. He spoke most impressively and was accorded undivided attention by every senator and the large audience in the gallery. "I cannot contemplate this condition of things without absolute terror. It strikes to my very soul and I want to enter this a a warning to the American people that if they do not re sist they will enter npon a system of in-, dustrial slavery that will b the worst known to the human race." arrival on the scene, the queen had al ready lost her throne and the provis ional government substituted. The recommendations of Secretary Gresbam and the announced policy of President Cleveland supporting hint is the most Quixotic action ever undertaken by any administration. It cannot even ap'iea! i to a morbid sentiment, for Liiiokulani was notoriously unfit to rule, abetting and championing corruption sind per sonally profligate. Of course, before any decisive action is taken, Jit will be submitted to congress, which is a safe guard against any such tomfoolery as is indicated by the president. During the extra session of congress, seventeen bills and seventeen joint reso lutions became laws. The president did not exercise bis right of veto in a single instance, having approved every meas ure submitted to him by congress. Mayor Harrison's assassin was cane enough to attend to business and earn his own living sane enough to hunt down his victim and kill him. It will take a mountain of evidence to convince an intelligent jury that such a man did not know the criminal nature of his act when be shot the mayor down on bis own doorstep. President Cleveland has incurred the displeasure of a large number of Ore gonians by appointing George Harper, of Georgia, Indian agent at the Umatilla agency. Most Oregonians are of the opinion that there are enough competent men in the state to fill the few federal offices in Oregon, and do not believe In filling them with men from the farthest corner of the nation. However the sen ate refused to confirm the appointment, and some Oregonian may yet get the place. The Chicago atmosphere must be maritally demoralizing. Abdullah lien Hammad, one of the performers in the Midway, went there with a bride. The bride became a victim of the Chicago influence and ran away with hand somer man. Now Abdallah is seeking his wife and vengeance and vows that be will have them if he has to tail the world around. Abdallah ought to take a Chicago view of it and allow the fickle one to go whither she listeth. For verily it is easier to snare a new bird than one which has had a breath of the cage and escaped again to freedom. The state of Oregon is a large pur chaser of toWco for the prisoners in the penitentiary and the inmates ot the Interior of the Country a Howling- Waata of 8anl uuil lee. Iceland is little better than a desert. The peculiar configuration renders in tercourse difficult, and.talong with the barrenness of the foil, makes the con ditions of existence strangely bard. People with ro little to make life at tractive mi(.'ht be portioned if thoy were to sink into a stolid indifference to everything but the at niggle to keep ulive, says the Atlantic. The size of Icclaud in greater than that of Ireland, and the population numbers seventy thousand souls: but the only inhabitable portion is a nar row strip of pasture land extending like a pni-n girdle round tiie coast and up the deep, narrow fiords. The in teriorof the country is a howling1 waste of sand and ice. traversed by darting glacial rivers and utterly incapable of supporting more than a few scattered inhabitants. Grass is the only consid erable crop. The bills and valleys are treeless and afford tit lest but scanty pasturage for horses, cows and sheep. Roads and bridges scarcely exist. A Danish merchant at Reykjavik has a wheeled carriage, but in the interior such a conveyance is unknown and would be useless if known. The backs of horses are the only means of trans portation across country. Small boat carry travelers over dangerous rivers, while the horses swim fin ahead. Hard ly anything that ministers to comfort, to say nothing of luxury, is produced in Iceland. Every nail in an Icelandic house, every pane of glass, every "bit of wooden flooring, every insignificant bit of furniture, has to be transported laljoriously from one of the seaports to its destination. That the Icelanders are poor goes without saying. There is little or no home market, for every Icelander has the same products to sell as bis neigh bor. The circulation of money is. therefore, very small. If a farmer has direct dealings with the. agents for foreign markets, and is sufficiently prosperous to have a little surplus each year, he may handle a little money, but in general the trading at the sea ports is literally trotting. An Icelander bar ters a certain numberof horseNor sheep or rolls of dried fish or bales of hay for a supply of groceries and other neces saries of life. SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS.

One of the most hare-brained schemes ... .t.,..u.l 1... mnv nltv fniii.il la thai over piiu vjf ......... - j prohibiting teamsters who couie iu from the country from unhitchiiigand feeding wherever is convenient to them, outside of a inaiii-traveled street, or w here such unhitching aud feeding does not inter fere with the rights of any eliiaen. Ac cording to a notice published elsewhere, all the teamsters have a certain lot pro vided for tlioir use in Iht thviim'. but at night must hitch up ai.d pun ..uti-ide of the city limits, or puir.mie a ieed yard. Such an assumption of miihority is not only impolitic, but idiotic It a farmer chooses to bring his ou u feed with him to the city and sav es.pen-s It is his own business, w hether hu does it from necessity, economy or even wn- uriousness, and his right should -und unchallenged. Furthermore, a fiti-itiei9 which will not pay unless patrouau is enforced, like discriminating in favor of feed yards, is a shame to the city and a paltry method to bolster up a busineas. And any city that deliberately legislates against the farmer sows the seeds of its owu dissolution. A city cannot exist without the country. The country is what supports it ami is the source of Its wealth. Deprive The Dalles of the patronage of the farmer, ami it would tie as dead as Grand Dalles Is in six months' lime. The surest way to drive the fnr mur away is to antagonize him, for none are moresensitive. Naturally suspicious of the wiles of street sharks, perpetually afraid of being overcharged for goodn, his rusticity contimially matched against cunning, the last straw would lie to place a business as well as a social bur to his entrance within the city ; to give him narrow limits iu a space 50x100 feet. as if afraid of contamination, and bid him not emerge therefrom, unless he goes to feed yard and pays high rates for hay and grain, whicb perhaps he can ill afford. Suppose he happens to have no money to pay his feed bill, he would then suffer the humiliation of being compelled to ask credit, or drive, out of town. Some come in for twenty-five miles out, and t again hitch up a tired team and drive out would be an Injustice which might well engender his lasting hatred. It is a pleasure to state that this last senseless move is opposed, not only by all merchants and citizens of the town generally, but by some members of the council as well. But lending a rejieul of the obnoxious measure, the wrong tdiould not lie permitted to exist in a single instance. The marshal will probably, as it is his duty to do, notify all teamsters to confine themselves to the space assigned them by the city, or suffer the impounding of their animals. The CimoMci.E believes the measure to be unlawful, land a trial for damage against the city should be made bv the first farmer who is interfered with. If his circumstances do not permit, the expenses will lie borne by the business men, who are a unit against the injus tice. In this way The Dalle will re gain a portion of what it has lost, though it will take years of good con duct to .obliterate the impression iu the minds of the country people that The Dalles as a city is opposed to them, in tolerant of their presence, and anxious to relegate them to their country pre cincts at soon as they possibly cun do their trading and get out of town. i Tat D 1 Bit IN EXCHANGE FOR GOODS. i Cannot -use Wheat that is rotten, or growing: in the sack.
