neither deny nor affirm tho story, hut,
as it is known Hint he has been figuring
with shipbuilders for several months,
there is reason to believe that there is
much truth in it. He has said that he
believed congress would come to the re

session, nnd HiIb has been the only reason
for delaying his Oriental line of steamers.

It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper ha9 the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet ns a nroventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chnmberlain'e Colic, Cholera nnd Diar
rhoea Itemedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our familv lor
wenty years and haye always found it
reliable. In'mnny cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe tliat If a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Itemedy was kept on hand
nd administered ut the inception of an
ttnek, much euflering might be avoided
and in very many eases the presence of
physician would not be required. At
jpst this has been our experience
uring tho pnst twenty years. For eale

Large Hun of Puset Sound Salmon.
Taco.ua, Aug. 22. The present run of
Bockeye salmon on lower Puget sound ie
bo phenomenal as to make it almost cer
tain tnat the Puget sound salmon pack
will be large enough to compensate for
the shortage in theFraser and Columbia
rivers. If the fall run of humpbacksand
eilverheade, which should commence
soon, equals the sockeyerun now closing,
all records of salmon packing will be
surpassed.

that it has been easily . quelled by the
local guards. The local authorities are
running short of money with which to
pay workmen. There are no reports of
fever as yet from the south eide of the
