Goodall, l'orkins ,fc Co. aro so well known
horn as managers of tho stoamshlp lines, and
their good treatmont oftho public cxtonding
buck lor a long series of years, makes It mi
ruinous to pralso thorn much) nuIIIco It to
say that tho linn has grown up with our

Calirornians In ovory senso or the word. As
a mark of respect to tho Hutolhey call tholr

Mourn. Cramp A Sons, tho builders, have
been 45 years In tho buslnoxs of shlp-bulld-Jug,

then soelng that Iron waa shortly to obtain

that branch. Instances of tholr suooess aro
Humorous on tho Atlantic. Hero wo have
but to point to tho 81. Paul, one of tho most
perfect poolmona of naval arohltocturo ever
seen In our waters. With tho contract in
their hands, wo will undoubtedly have In
tho Htato of California, perfection. And with
Capt. Johnson In command, both Orogonlans
and Calirornians may almost expect to "go

Wo clip the following from an Eastern

tho Bubjjctof tho romantic sketch "Oregon

and he baa hardly yet reached forty. His
father having been killed in battle his wid

through the Influonco or friends, ho soon
waa placed at tho Royal Naval School at

daring and advonturous naturo sought tho
soa, and to a man-or-war he went. He was
at sea for yors. and during tho time distin
guished himself tor his bravery, in two en

would take place on that ovonlng. and thero
was a marked Improvement In tho point or
numbers who had assembled towituoMino
entertainment. At the hour appointed, the
concert was opoued by au overture on the
violin, flute and piano, Mrs. Alton and Miss
Nellie Hall at tho piano and Messrs. Gray
and Stoull'er, with violin and flute. The
ploco was well executed and at tho closo re
ceived long and loud applauso,
The song entitled, "Whero aro tho Friends
or my Youth?" and aang by Miss Alice Pel
ton, waa about as nice a Piece as wo have
heard for many a day, and as a vocalist Miss
Pelton baa but few equals In the city.
The rocitatlon by Miss Addle Scrlber was
beautiful and rendered In a flue style. Miss
Scribor understands the art of elocution al
most to perfection.
The solo and chorus by Lulu Smith, enti
tled "Robby's Wish" was a neat little piece,
and was well aung.
Tho dialogue entitled, "Wooing Undor
Dlltlcultlos," and the tlmo as far back as in
1812, was a pretty fair production, but was al
lowed to drag a little too much by some ot
tho parties not having their parts sutliolently
memorized, and tho prompter not watching
the business close enougu; uuiUKiug every
thing Into consideration, tho piece was very
fairly actod, and drew forth numorous ap
plauses during the run of tho play.
Thosolo and chorus entitled, "Come.Blrdio;
Come," and sung by MUs Kther Hall was
very nice Indeed, and waa sang in good
stylo.
The piano solo, by Miss Kdlth Donaldson
Just captured the audienco and kept them
spell-bound throughout thoentlro piece. For
a pupil or her age, Miss LMith certainly has
no, an equal on tho Coast.
Tho solo by Miss Allco Polton, entitled,
"There's a Letter in tho Candle," was a
beauty, and Miss Pelton .uudetsuuds Just
hnw It shnnlil tin rendered..
Tim Pitiiilrt iluotte. bv Miss Add lo Scrlber
and Qulucy Grubb, contained more truth
tbsui poetrv and was well renderod and duly
appreciated by tho audience.
The larco entitled, "Dearest Mamma," was
a cspltal piece mid wo presume the author of
tho farce knew Just "how It was himself."
The ladies and gentlemen were up in tbeii
parts and everything weut along smooth.
Tho drolluets of old "Browser" Just kopt tho
audleuoelu auoh a state thai they could
hardly "keep their equilibrium." The act
ing waa very well done by all patties and
sent the audience home in a good humor.
The receipts of the entertainment was 2S.
It waa not announced when the next concert
would take place, but will probably besome
time during the holidays.

Shut Down.
Owing lo tho high wator, Kinney's Flour
ing Mill has beon compollod to shut down
S rinding during tho groator part of tbo week,
ut then there is not a great sight lost In tbo
operation, as it givos tho millers a hotter
chance to dress tho burrs and got things in
readiness by tho time tho wator subsides, for
a big run.
A New Schema.
Ex-Mayor, J. G. Wright, has a new scheme
on hand that will doubtless work to a charm
for the holiday trade. He will have an im
mense amount of holiday goods done up In
dollar packages, thus adding to his already
largo business a genuine Dollar Stoiik.
Wharf Raised.
The swiftness oftho current, together with
tbo high wind that prevailed last Saturday
ovonlng, has caused tho upper end of the
wharf and dock of tho W-T. A h. Company
to raise out of Its proper position about six
Inches, and tbo ohancos aro that when the
wator recedes, that that portion of tho dock
and wharf will remain lu its prosont condi
tion and will again havo to bo repaired ero It
cau bo considered safe.
