B. F. X.anghlln Resigns.
Yesterday afternoon a rumor became
current on the streets that Mr. B. F.
Laughlin had resigned his position as
president and manager of The Dalles,'
Portland & Astoria Navigation Company.
It was a matter of surprise and naturally
caused considerable comment. " A
Chronicle reporter was sent to aBcer-.
tain the truth of the matter and found
that the rumor was correct. Mr.
Laughlin's reasons for tendering his res
ignation can best be judged by his letter
which is as follows : .
The Dalles, Or., Aug. 10, '94.
To the Board of Directors, Dalles, Portland &
jLsionu navigation company, ine uaiies,
Oregon:
I hereby tender mv resignation as
president, manager and director of this
company to take effect at once. I have
come to this conclusion after due delib
eration, for the following reasons : My
actions in my official capacitv have been
suDjectea to much unjust criticism, and
a prejudice created against me by some
of the members of the board, to such an
extent that action has been taken during
my aDsence tending toward tne appoint
ment of a new manager, which renders
it impossible for me to continue my
present relations with the company.
Kespectiuily yours,
B. F. Laughlin.
We know nothing, of course, of the
business of the company nor of its inside
workings. We do know, however, that
Mr- Laughlin has filled a very difficult
position v for three years with credit to
himself and the company. The boat
line has had much to contend with ; on
the one hand was the Union Pacific,
represented by shrewd, sharp business
men, and backed by unlimited : wealth,
using every effort to control traffic, and
requiring constant and untiring watch
fulness to hold them in check. On the
other were elements at heme inimical to
the ' interests of the company.' Mr.
Laughlin's management has been 'con
servative, and his work conscientious,
his sole aim being to give the public, the
best and cheapest - services possible,
while doing justice to the stockholders.
Whatever opinion others may hold now,
we believe that all the stockholders will
learn (if they do not already know) that
the solid financial condition in which
the company finds itself is largely due
to the personal efforts of the retiring
manager, whose every thought and every
moment was devoted to its interests.
When Mr. Laughlin took charge of the
company's affairs there was a bonded
indebtedness of $20,000 and a floating
debt of $6400, all of which has been paid,
and there is now a handsome surplus in
the treasury.
Until the meeting of the board of
directors Mr. Allaway will act as general
manager. '
In Suspense.
Julius Wiley's little black -and-tan dog
is no more. : Last night he passed from
a dog's life here to such as nature may
have provided hereafter. He was
chained near the kitchen door, and had
a box fixed np for 'a kennel. Jumping
into the box some time last night ' his
chain was caught on a projecting nail,
and this morning when J alius found
him he was quite dead having committed
suicide in a neat and artistic manner.
Julius thought he might not be dead yet,
probably reasoning that as the dog was
hanged, it might be a case of "suspended
animation," but it wasn't. He was
dead; bis bark was on the sea, and his
tail was told. ' -

The Commodore's Pin.
Owing to brilliant services in direct
ing the fleet during the recent flood,
Commodore Schenck was promoted to
the office of admiral,. and Mr. J. S. Fish,
in the line of promotion, was raised to
the rank of commodore: As an addi
tional token of the esteem in which the
new commodore is held, and of appreci
ation of his efforts to keep track of the
coaling stations of the Umatilla House
fleet during the flood, the admiral
robbed bis chandelier ' of one its pris
matic pendants, had the same mounted,
and at 11 o'clock today presented it to
the commodore. A dozen of the com
modore's friends were invited to be
present.
Arriving at the Umatilla House, the
unsuspecting gentleman was surround
ed, and Captain Lewis, stepping to the
front, said : "My distinguished friend :
In behalf of hini whose merited promo
tion to the high rank of admiral, has
also caused an equally meritorious pro
motionthat of yourself to the rank of
commodore, I desire to present to you a i
small token of his esteem and apprecia-
tion. No sooner had ' your promotion!
occurred than your worthy admiral, !
with that keen perception of the eternal
fitness of things, and that unselfish and
generous outpouring tof a kindly heart,
for which he is famed, determined to
make the occasion one long to be re
membered. ' Realizing your peculiar fit
ness for the office, as well as the proud
position of hotel clerk, to whom all the
world bows in homage; the hotel clerk,
whose clothes are the admiration of the
world the dreamful hat, the flowing
sleeves, the mosaic Test, theT creased
pants, that are at the same time the ad
miration and despair of emulous dude
dom, and the peotic tie, that like a sprig
of mint, gives flavor to the tout emsem
ble realizing all these things, he tele
phoned to Brazil, and from her deepest
mines an all . but priceless gem was
brought. Under special guard it was
conveyed to Rotterdam, and there by
the most skilled artists it was cut with
perfect faces to match your own. It is
an inch and a half up one side and the
same distance down the other, making
in all three inches. It is surpassed by
only one stone , in all the world, the
Kohinoor, the mountain of light, and bo
a nave presumed to give this also a
name of light, the Nourmahal. .May its
flame prove ever a lamp to your feet, a
guide through the thorny by-ways ol
life, until its gleams are quenched in the
bright effulgence from the great white
throne, across the divide." And then
the speaker reached in his stocking,
where he had concealed the valuable
gem, and gracefully fastened it in the
recipient's tie."
: 'The captain said much more, and
said it ; much ": better, but a treacherous
memory prevents us giving either his
exact language, or all of it. The com
modore was "taken aback,'' but grasp
ing the situation, responded, in . a neat
speech, the substance of which was to
take something. The pin reposes in the
commodore's necktie, and the last we
saw of him he was hanging a brick on
the back of his neck to keep his balance

losses by our business men, makes the
raising of the funds a hard matter. In
this connection, we append a clipping
from the Salem Statesman :
"The old volunteer firemen of Salem
have arranged for a hose company to go
down from that citv and win the
prizes. At least fifteen of the swiftest
men at pulling a cart and handling hose
will go into training at once and nightly
drills will be in order until the contests
are run. Both the racing carts formerly
used by the Capital and Tiger hose
teams have been cleaned up and are in
splendid condition for racing. It adds it
will seem like old times to see the teams
get out and make Rome howl once more.
It used to be considered a very . dull
tournament without the Salem and As
toria teams taking part. C. J. Curtis,
of the latter city, was in Salem recently
and in conversation with a Statesman
reporter said he did not think a team
would come to Oregon City from Astoria ;
he did not know then that Salem would
be represented there, and it is eafe to
say that the "city by the sea'.' boys will
now organize and attend the tournament
simply to meet the capital city's team.
