Judging from the expression on the faces of Inquirers, when told by the genial McKetchnle. of the Postal, the result of the Corbett-McCoy fight, there are some who are shy of silver today. A much longxr fight was anticipated by everyone as the pugilists are known to te two of tho niont scientific men In th business. One of the officials of th O. R. ft N. denies that the purchase of the L R. A N. was for the purpose of ex tending the line from Ilwaco to Frank fort. He states In a letter that the only object the company had in view hn the line was purchased was that it would be usl as an adjunct to Its summer resort business on the North Beach. The Dalles Chronicle, In an article on the portage road, says: Work on the nortaxe road was tuspend;d Sat urday noon and all the laborers dis charged. All hands who have 115 or less coming to them are being paid.

Tbe Finscr river season will close next Saturday; the run during the last few days has been sllxhtly better but the suk Is gen erally estimated at little over 100,000 cas-s against G2S.000 cases last year. The remainder of British Columbia will swell the total somewhat, probably furnishing about 225,000 cases, but even with that and the expected Increase of from 150,000 to 200,000 cas'-s In the AlHHka pock, the entire pock of sal mon of the coat will be over 650,000 cases short of last year. San Francisco Commercial News. John H. Mitchell, ex-l'nlud States senator from Oregon, arrived In the city from Portland yesterday morning and Is at the Butler, says the Se- attle Post-Intelligencer. He Is here on legal business, "matters before the fed eral court requiring his attention. "I am devoting my entire time to my pmfesslon and therefore do not know much about politics. Of course I took a friendly Interest In the campaign last spring and did what work I could In my own country. I will probably do as much during the coming two months, but beyond this little work my Interest In political matters has not extended. The Republicans will carry the state this fall, of course. We won In June by approxi mately 10.000. electing the two congres!- men and giving the nominee for the supreme bench something over 10.000 majority. The margin of victory In No vember may not be so great, but the Republicans are certain of success." Some time ago Prof. J. H. Ackerman. state superintendent of public Instruc tion, sent a circular letter to the coun ty school superintendents, urging them to write for publication In the biennial report of the department to the legis lature, reports on educational matters In their respective counties, together with recommendations regarding need ed legislation. Ex-County Supt. Lee wrote as follows: "There an eery few libraries In the schools t this county, but I hope the matter will re ceive more attention in the future. A scheme has been started to have a cir culating library and hope are enter tained that the different districts will Join It. It se?ms to me there should be a better provision mado by the legislature for finances to run our Institutes. The fees obtained from ex aminations are not adequate for the expenses In small counties. I would suggest that the county be required to allow a reasonable amount for that pur pose. The Norwegian steamship Thyra, on her way up the river to Portland, swerved from the channel of the river yesterday morning near the Eagle can nery and crashed Into the railway tres tle. stonDlng only when half way through the structure. The channel of the river Is such that a sharp turn has to be made near the cannery, but when the Thyra tried to make It, she refused to answer her helm, a strong current at the same time causing her to sheer from her course, and head for the rail way trestle. The engines were reversed but to no avail, the momentum of the easel and the current carrying It through the trestle, and not Btopplng until she grounded In the mud on the other side. Timbers and steel rails ere cut In two as if they were of pa per, and piling was torn up for quite distance. When the officer in charge of the vessel saw that by reversing the engines. It would not tend to prevent the shin from going ashore, he ordered the starboard anchor dropped, but it as not done In time to check the ship. When the accident occurred. It was at dead low tide, but a few hours af terward there waa a sufficient depth of water to permit her backing out and proceeding up the river. No dam age whatever waa done to the Thyra, the captain reporting that he had ex- mlned the hull thoroughly ana not even the cement In the bow, where the point of contact was, was cracked. It a well that the accident occurred at low tide. If it had been at any ither time, there Is no telling where the vessel would have stopped In her mad career. She ran very light, drawv Inir only 13 feet forward and 14 feet aft. The noon train from Portland came up after the accident but waa unable to continue her Journey, trans ferring 'paseliger to steamers at the buoy Ration. The pate'-nifcrs who went up to the city last night were taken on water crafts and hauled to the buoy station and from there boarded the train to Portland. Captain 8. B. Ormsby, superintendent of the' Cascade Forest Reserve, return ed yesterday from a fifteen days' trip through the Southern division of the Cascade reserve, says the Salem States man, He reports there Is no smoile to obscure the vision of the observers from any of the mountain peaks. While on the reserve he climbed mountains fre quently, or stopped at high r1ataua In order to look over the surrounding country, but nowhere was tmoke to be seen, the view In every direction be ing unobstructed. Hesidents In that section of the country say this Is Ihe first season that this condition of af fairs has existed, and that It Is due to the presence of the forest rangert on the reserve. It Is not becauws no fires have been set on the reserve, for numerous flres have been left burning by hunters and Indians, but In every caae the rangers have been able to reach these abandoned camp-fires In time to quench the flames and pre vent the spread of a destructive fire. Thus far not a foot of green timber has been destroyed, owing to the vlgl lnnce of the forest rangers. "Indiana and halfbroeds and hunters zre the prlni lixil transgressors In setting fires," said Cnptaln Ormaby, In speaking of the cause of forest fires, and the destruc tion wrought by them In past years. The superintendent has aome feeling In regard to the liberty given the In dians: he thinks they should not be allowed to traverse the forest reserve at will. In large partiea. going In every direction. They ro where and when they pear.e, and pay no attention to the forestry laws, and they are per mltted to go anywhere, when they have Juat as good hunting on their own res ervation as on the reserve. White men are not allowed to hunt on the In dlan reservation, but are excluded from their lands. The superintendent Is In favor of excluding the Indians from the forest reserve during the hunting sea eon. and says forest fires will not end. nor will the slaughter of game cease until this plan Is adopted and the In dians kept on their reservations. NEWSPAPER MEN ON A TOUR. League From the East Arrrlved In Portland Yesterday. Representatives of the Great East ern Newspaper League arrived In Port land on their private car "Ralph King," veaterday, afteV a three months' tour of the Western states, covering near'y 12.000 miles. Last night's Telegram contains the following description of the league and Its travels: 'The league Is composed of the New York Sun. Philadelphia Times. Boston Journal and Baltimore Herald, and was organised for the purpoae of inquiring Into and reporting upon Industrial and commercial conditions now existing In the great West, between Pittsburg and the Pacific coast. The news articles written by the league writers are pub lished simultaneous? In the newspa pers In this special syndicate, and reach about 1.800.000 readers, the regular cir culation of these papers being some thing over 600,000. 'The league rtpresenUtives left the East May 21, and have traveled through Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, The Pa- kotas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri. Colorado, Utah, Idaho and a part of Oregon, and will make all the Import ant Pacific coast cities and return via Texas and the Southwest, covering about 25.000 miles on the tour. The work already accomplished by the league has been of material benefit to the country visited and written about, and will naturally accrue to the ad vantage of Portland as an exhaustive Investigation of local resources will be made during the stay of the news paper men In this city. "The party Is In charge of C. F. King, general manager, under whose direc tions the writer and artists of the league perform their several functions. Mr. King is at the Portland, and his lieutenants, who are busy with the Ore gon review up to Portland will prob ably remain In the traveling newspa per ome, the "Ralph King," during their stay In Portland the next few days. "The Great Eastern Newspaper League people have been received ev erywhere with hearty acknowledgement of their educational work and have al ready published many columns of read ing matter In the Interest of general Western development." ORGANIZING AT PORTLAND. Branches of the Western Labor Union Will Re Established Through out Oregon. An attempt Is being made to estab lish a branch at the Western Labor Union In Portland, says the Telegram. This organization affiliates with the Western Federation of Labor. It has 400,000 members In Washington, Mon tana. Idaho. Utah. Colorado and Brit ish Columbia. The Western Labor Union Is a orogresslve, radical assocla tlcn, differing materially from old-time labor movements, as politics Is dis cussed. Whether or not this organisation con templates Interesting Itself in Oregon po'ltlcs Is not Btated. The nature of the association makes politics a com pulsory feature. It Is essential to the union that the records of candidates for office be made subject to investiga tion. When the records axe examined the organization indorses such candi dates as are favorable to the rights and privileges of wage-earners, provld- GARSGLlNEllf, Efficient Preservative for Woodwork Ex posed to Rot or Decay.

Part has been taken In the politics of several states. The union had trou ble at Republic Washington, It being alleged the authorities were antagonis tic to trades unions. As a result, the Western Labor Union placed a com pete ticket before the people and elect ed it from top to bottom. Now Re public is a strong union town and wares are the highest. Carpenters re ceive 4 per day; tailors. $3; painters, $3.50, and other trades In proportion. In Montana a state convention, at tended by 225 delegates, was held. The organization In Montana proposed to launch an entire stats ticket and fight the Standard Oil Company, which la reported to have purchased the holdings of Marcus Daly. Organisation Is In progress through out Oregon and In Portland. A meet ing is to be held Sunday afternoon at the Allsky building, to elect perma nent officers for the Portland branch. During the eusulnar presidential cam paign the Western Labor Union will support Eugene V. Debs, NEWS ABOUT STAMPS. An Innovation In the postal service which is sure to be of great conven ience is a plan lately adopted of fur nishing stamps In little books, with wax sheets between them. The gov ernment Is to charge one cent addi tional to the amount of stamps con tained therein, and It Is now estimat ed that the profit on the books will amount to J2O0.0OO per annum. It Is also estimated that the sum paid for the Private Revenue Stamps placed over the top of the bottles containing Hog- tetter's Bitters very nearly equals this. The Bitters is a reliable remedy for constipation, Indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, liver and kidney troubles. It may be depended upon to curs stom ach disorders, having done so for the past fifty years. CONVENT OF HUL.I For boarders and day pupils; Astoria, Oregon.
