The Skamania county Pioneer says :
"The steamers Dalles City and Regulator,
innking daily trips from Portland to
The Dalles, are doing a fine business.
The establishment of this line has been
a great thing to the settlers on the
Washington side in two ways, financial
nnd accommodation. The company
have never been known to do business
on an unfair basis. Although they
have no competition on this end of the
run they do not take advantage of the
settlers and merchants nloug the river,
as companies usually do in passenger
and freight rates. At one time a trip
from The Dalles to Portland was $( and
at the present time you can make the
round trip for if'.'J. The company will
undoubtedly meet with success as they
have the good will of the people along
the river."
It is pleasure to note' these kind words
from our neighbor for an enterprise
which should have the heartiest eup
port. The Regulator was built as a re
lief from the extortionate chaiges of the
Union Pacific, and is the lirst which has
successfully balllod all efforts to crush it.
Although it can scarcely be considered
a paying investment, because not
patronized by many fanners whom it
was designed to relieve, it will stand be
tween them and the Union Pacific un
til the locks are opened, when all dan
ger of high charges will be ended.

Peters & Co. (Office Second nnd Jeffer
son streets,)
A large crowd of young people filled
Fraternity hall last evening in obedience
to the summons of King Carnival. They
came en masque and before the time of
unmasking the spectators were kept
busy trying to discover who were inside
of the costumes while the maskers them
selves were at a loss to know who their
partners were, so complete were many
of the disguises. The club is proud of
the music they provide and last night
tho orchestra won much approval. All
the disguises were excellent while some
of them were very original and unique.
Much amusement was made by the
characters represented and a general
good time fell to the lot of everyone. At
a late hour the music ceaBed and the
dancers wended their way homeward, or
more truly speaking, in the direction
where oysters were. Tho Mignonettes
feel greatly pleased at their first masque
ball of the season and it is safe to say
that it was nothing less than a complete
success.
I'rwMlergHKtlng Kreft.
Mayor Kreft has just received a threat
ening letter, written on both sides of
half a sheet of note paper, and signed in
shorthand. Nothing less than the
mayor's life is demanded, as the letter
states that unless the writer is furnished
with a job insideof a very few days Kreft
must die. Someof the larger members of
the city council should bo delegated to
act hs Mr. Kreft's body guard for uptime,
and a few special police might be de
tailed to hang around the residence and
shop, and arrest all suspicious char
acters. It is reported, also, that Judge Schutz
received a letter of similar import to
that received by the mayor, warning
him to mete out better justice or he
would receive a leaden plug. This letter
was, of course, anonymous.

NEW8 OF THE STATE.
Hugh McCullough, of St. Paul, Or.,
whs held up, badly beaten and robbed
Thursday night. He was down after
some lost boots and was followed by two
men who, after knocking him down,
beat and kicked him about the head,
leaving him unconscious.
Richardson, the "hero" train wrecker,
who is serving time in the state peniten
tiary, has been boasting of his'abilitles
as a jail breaker, and the officials put on
him a boot loaded with Iron and weigh
ing nbout sixteen pounds. This is in
tended as an admonition to him and
others like him.

error in the following:
"The Columbia rose six feet last
(Wednesday) night. A great quantity
of cordwood that was piled on the beach
drifted down stream. The river is eUU
rising."
Six feet in twelve hours, or even
twenty-four hours, is phenomenal, and
nothing like it ever occurred in the
history of white settlement. The fol
lowing is taken from (he government
records, showing the daily rise to the
11th, the lowest point reached this year,
being 5 feet above zero on the 3d.
Nov. 4th the gauge marked 5.4 feet.

A Terrible Weapon.
The stinfj of a bee is composed of
two spears of polished horn held in a
sheath. One yets a notion of the
sharpness of the weapon by a very
simple comparison. The edge of a
very keen razor, when examined under
a pood microscope, nppeurs as broad us
tho buck of a thielc knife, roujh, un
even und full of notches. An exceed
ingly small und delicate needle simi
larly scrutinized resembles a rough
bar from u smith's forge. The sting
of a bee, viewed through the same in
strument, .shows :i llmvless polish,
witliout the least blemish or inequali
ty, ending in a point too fine to be dis
cerned. In the act of stinging the
spears, each of which lias nine barbs
and is grooved with u channel for the
passage of the poison, emerge from the
sheath. One of them is plunged into
the flesh of the victim, the other fol
lowing, and alternately they penetrate
deeper and deeper. 'Die venom is
forced to the ends of the spear:, by
much the same process as that which
carries the poison from the tooth of u
snake when it bites.
Primitive Telegraphy.
The first person to apply to purposes
of telegraphy the galvanic battery in
vented by Voltu, in 1800, was Dr.
Samuel T. Von Soemmering, of Mu
nich. He employed the energy of a
powerful voltaic pile to decompose
water by means of thirty-live gold pins
immersed in an oblong glass trough.
Each of these pin electrodes was in
connection with thirty-five wires
forming the telegraph line. The bub
bles evolved by these electrodes were
received in figured and lettered tubes
corresponding to eacli pin and the mes
sages were thus spelled out. In 1810
he telegraphed over two miles of wire
by this primitive method. As each
separate pin was immersed it decom
posed a certain portion of water and
sent bubbles through its lettered or
numbered tube.
