As there was four feet of snow on the ground when he left Idaho he is of course more than pleased with the Clatsop county climate. In Joyous Testimony On the 27th of last January there was a quiet wedding in the Clatsop county court house (the new one), and the first solemn ceremony of the ort to transpire in that beautiful building, the principles being Mr. Emil Lang and Mrs. Anna Wcdckiug, both of the metropolis, i in carrying out the pleasant task assigned him, Judge Trenchard, who tied the knot, had to procure witnesses, and sum moned William Bock and J. S. Del linger ,of this city, in that service, and thus equipped, the happy union was wrought, and the evening train bore Mr. and Mrs. Lang,away to their new home in Portland. By way of pleas ant reminder, there has arrived at Jhis office a beautiful Boston fern, tubbed and trimmed, and in fine order; and each of the parties concerned in the wedding has been remembered, in way, by the grateful pair. The groom is a well known florist in Portland, and is, presumably, very happy in his new home; and he certainly has the best wishes of those with whom he came in contact here, and Mrs. Lang, as well. . Full, Prompt Settlement ' ' William Matthes, representative of the well known marine brokerage house of II. C. Harrison & Company, of San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, was in this city yesterday and made a call on his late client, the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Com pany, of which W. McGregor is the bead and front. Harrison & Com pany placed the insurance on the American ship John Currier,' which served this big canning concern last summer at its Nushagak plant, and which was wrecked on the return voyage last August and became a total loss, ship and cargo. The pack ing company's end of the insurance was placed, mainly with Lloyds, of London, and the St. Paul Fire and Marine Company, of St. Paul and though tha losses aggregated in the neighborhood of $122,000, the last dollar of it was paid to the A. F. P. Company, within 60 days after the wreck was reported; a condition of affairs very pleasing to the last man interested and especially to President McGregor who had the direction of the affair; and which contributed in a marked degree to the welcome ex tended to Mr. Matthes yesterday.
