Skinner time each evening fr special excursions to either Halem or Albany, leaving Inde pendence at B;i: for Albany, to arrive there at 0:15, or It ave Independence at 7 p m. to arrive at Halem at 8 p. ra . The business men of Independence should encourage such a schedule, as it would bo a benefit to this town. Capt, Hkinner could meet the boats at Halem from Portland and bring pas sengers through and connect In the morning with boats at Halem, and ar range for passengers to go through di rect. There would tie no tolls to pay through the locks aud It would be a convenience to the traveling public in more ways than one. How to Cure a Felon. It is said that the following cure method for a felon has never been known to fall: As soon as the disease Is located, wet the spot as large as a silver half-dime with nitric acid, using lor the purpose nothing larger than a sharpened match stick or a wooden tooth-pick. Use the common add or commerce, which should be strong enough to brown the wood. Jf the felin Is open before It Is applied, draw a line around near the border of the ulcer but not touching It. The appli cation Is painless, and the pain of the felon will soon cease, and the cure is e fleeted. Experience is the best teacher. Use Acker's English Remedy In any case of coughs, colds, or croup.

Ir.TU.M PINCH HOWL VMt to an Interesting freak of Nature Near Yaqiiltia, Here we are at Newport again after our trip to tha Devil's Punch-bowl. We started at exactly sevsti o'clock, Our back was made for six and wt crowded eight Into It, but It was a Jolly good natured party and no one complained about being crowded, After a drive of an hour we were on tha ocean beach and stopped at every gravel heap to hunt for water and moss agates. At leu o'clock wa arrived at Otter IUk or the Devil's Punch Bowl. Rising boldly nut of the ocean stands a sandstone ell ft probably one hundred feet high. The ceaseless washing of the waves at tha base has worn the rooks into fantastic shapes. In order to see the Punch bol It Is necessary to go back Into the woods so as to climb around on the summit of the point of rocks. When we had arrived at the top, aud were following the path through the undergrowth, almost with out warning we cams to an Immense hole lu the ground, from where we first stood the distance dowu must have been one hundred feet; the dis tance across sixty or eighty. In the bottom of thla curious fresk of nature were large tumblers and two enhances from theoceau, one to the west aud the other the north. We clsmlier.il down (he narrow jlh to a ledge alsiut fifty feet from the Isittom and while Itsiklng down discovered some kind of forbearing animal dodging among "l he roeks. We tried to hit It with rocks but failed. We then went out on th rocky point and saw one of the grand! views anywhere about Yaqulna. Reaching up the coast for miles are high bluffs, and at their bases low rocks over which the waves break In a continual roar. It is a seene to delight an artist. Then we all sat down and watched the great waves coins In and trlke the bluff, aud as It struck some hollo plaoa make a report tike a great cannon, aud the water would fly high In the air. The wind was not blowing hard, so what must have been the scene in a gale? We then went down on the extreme Mot nut to- wards some rix'ky Islsnd, and emmed natural bridge, the ihsmui surging through lieiieath us, in a paage way altout twenty feet wide, thirty feet high and on hundred feet long. Im bedded in the sand stone are limit f Iron ore from the slue of a marble to the aixe of one's head. We are hungry at noon and enjoy our lunch eaten by a spring of cold water. Three hours clambering over rocks ha given ua an excellent appetite. Ou our way along the beach w saw a teut among th trees and went there to borrow m code and suasr which we had forgirt'en to bring. The camp ers were F, X Alhricht and ). J. Burr, two young men from Hafei, who are mining the black sand of the each for gold. They had a newly pateuted maohlne but said they had not yet been able to make any money, Hie gold Is there but they caunot save It. At two o'clock we started back to wards Newport, Intending to get past the high point of rock before the tide would come lu. It wa about four o'clock when we drove iu'o the gate at the light house at Cups Fotilweaiher, Mr. Plunimer, the keeper, who has been there many years escorted our party. He told us the light bouse was H2 feet high, the bull llng being a ateel frame with brick walls ou the outside and Inside. It take WW gallons of oil of the best quality to run the light a year, The tower was built lu 1872. The lamp globe was constructed In Paris and cost f 15,000. It Is in section aud Is heavy plate glass. The light cu be seen 20 miles out at sea. A man stays ni the tower all night, so that nothing may tmppcii to prevent the light hurtl ing. We all registered lu a book kept there and we noticed the names of a great many Polk county people. While coming to the light house along the beach we picked up a piece of Kelp which had been cast up out of the ocean, and ou hard mad we had a sklppliig-of-the-rupe contest, In which all Indulged. Homcone should have had a kodak Just thou and taken a snap shot. It was past five o'clock when we ar rived at Newport. By six o'clock we were ready to do Justice to a uice warm supper. We would advise out readers who go to Newport to be sure and put in a duy going to Otter rock and the light bouse and another day doing nothing but hunt for mosses, pebble and shells. Your success depends upon the tides and winds. We came near forgetting to mention the nests of the ocean pigeons aud shaggs, whose nests In the rocks at the light house are an Interesting sight. Also It muy bo worth relnting that you can get an abundance of the curious sea biscuits, which are found In quan title", near the lighthouse, Be not deceived, A cough, hoarse ness or croup, are not to be trifled with.

Hlate. On the city Iront and In the city proper the people were wild with eu thuslasm. Htesm whistle were turned loose, and men shouted and cheered uulll they could do so no longer. There was a genet al handshaking and congratulations everywhere. As nu a the haw wai received up town lb rlre whistle wa turned on. the w hint Us of factories, mill and steamers In the harbor were turned loose, and pande monium reigned. Fireworks wer set otr III the midst of the nolas, and hun dred of guns wer 11 red on the ground of the executive building At the same time the Hawaiian band started out.and marched through the streets to the wharf, playlug American patriotic airs. An immene procession was formed and a march made to the exe cutive building. President Dole reached the wharf aslhestesmer tied up. Cspuiii .caitiy, oi ine lopuu, was prewnted with a silver cup by the oitbwoi of Honolulu for brluglng the glad new. The presentation took nlac on th deck of th Coptic. The cup Is a maariv ous, hsudsomely en graved.

Hewsll, United Htate minister to Uswail, aa their choice 'or governor of the Islauds. It was generally thought Presldeut Dole would be appointed to his office , but according to popular feeling, as represented at the tuoellng today, Hewall will lie the man. The Uuited Htates will soon be con nected by cable with her uewly ac quired Pacific possesslous, aud the cable will cotiueot the Uuited Hulc wltti Hawaii, the Ladroties, the Philippines and Houg Kong. The paper says that uiistt of the surveys have beeu made, and the coutraol for the laying of the cable bus already beuii let, aud that, according to the terms of the coutraol, the work munt be completed within six mouth.

Ou the main points of tint term of peace, with Hpalu, the adiulnlstra llou'a position was so well defined aud stated by the associated press yestet dny that there is little left to conjecture. About the only polul tbut seems to tie opeu to amendment of an extensive character Is the dlpittluii of the Phldppliies. While the administra tion has not failed to take untie of the extent of the demand fnr their acquisi tion by the United Htutes, as exhibi ted In certain sections of the country, it can be stated Unit the conclusion lins been reaclien to abide by the first de cision on the point, namely, to relin quish the islands, redlining a coaling stutlou there, surrounded by a suM dent zone of laud to make It self-supporting. 1 With the understanding that no In demnity will be demanded and that Hpunlsb sovereignty in the Philippines will be respected, the newspapers, of Hpaln, consider the term of pi' ace at tributed to President McKlnley as be ing acceptable,.
