A lively and exciting raco took placo
between tho steamships Great Republic
and Dakota on tho last trip down to
San Francisco. Tho latter vessel was
oil' tho Columbia river when tho Kcpub
lie caino out and blow her whistks, and
having good, way and plenty of steam
on, slot ahead of her smaller rival, until
who was about iivo milos ahrad. Captain
JMoreo could not stand that, so tho Dakota
was put on her mettle, passed tho big
follow off Mendocino, and entered Kan
Francisco harbor ahead and oil" Presidio
when tho Great Republic was ofi'15olinnn,
being a beat of nt least twelve miles.
Tlio race was enjoyed by tho passengers
on both ships, and tho hurrahing could
bo heard by both ships anil nlso waving

dent. Tlio Cascades Trouble.
There is somo misunderstanding be
tween tho laborers and tho contractors
of tho work on tho locks. Somo of tho
laborers who returned to this city, claim
they wero employed to go to tho Cascades
to work, but after arriving there wero
refused work whereupon thoy sued Mr.
Skinner, tho agent, and got small dam
nges. Mr. Skinner hays that tho un
derstanding that workmen who go there
aro expected to take their chances on
working, and that when tho water in
Columbia s high work has to stop, and
that tho workmen who sued him, got
there just as tho water was at its high
est. Ho docs not think that ho was
at fault in tho matter, but to insure
himself against liko cases in tho future,
ho says that men who want to work
"on tho locks must find their way to tho
Cascades, and bo ready to work when
there is work and to quit when there is
none.
Another Pioneer Gone.
On Sunday last passed away at her
residenco near St. Johns, about six
miles from Portland, Mrs. Sarah
Loomis, relict of Mr. James Loomis
(who died twenty years sinco), in tho
05th year of her age. Tho funeral was
attended yesterday by a largo number of
relatives and friends, including many
well known residents of Portland, tho
remains being interred in tho family
cemetery on tho homo place below St,
Johns. (Among thoso present wero her
noil Edward, with whom sho was resid
ing; tho daughter of deceased, Mrs.
Perry linker, of this city, together with
tho daughters of tho latter, Mrs. Abo
Tichnor, Mrs. W. T. Kvorson and Miss
Clara, Tho decedent also has a daughter
residing with her husband, John Collier,
at tho Dalles, and a son, James Loomis,
engaged as a farmer in Southern Oregon.
In her deatli, another pioneer who
"auno tho plains across," has reaped her
reward, and tho toxt of Chaplain
Stubbs, who conducted tho funeral ser
vices, "For mo to livo is Christ, to dio is
guin," fully exemplified.
Manslaughter
Mathiasnnd llocklofsky, contractor
nt Tho Dalles, wero examined on Tues
day upon a charge of manslaughter, in
causing tho death of it man whilo moving
a building. Thoy went discharged, how
over. In regard to tho affair tho Moun
taineer fays: "When tho Umatilla
House was moved to mako room for tho
now hotel, became nccuunry, in order to
mako room for tho work, to reinovo two
old buildings which had been used by
Chinamen as wash houses. These had
been moved somo distance back from tho
street out of the way, and placed upon
jwsts, about eight feet from tho ground
On the day mentioned, five men wero at
work under one of the building, rais
ing it higher, when suddenly it fell with
a great crush. Mi. Eli Hilligan was
knocked senseless among tlio debris. Ho
was immediately carried to tho Umatilla
House, and a physician summoned, but
he was beyond tho aid of medical skill.
From tho time tho accident occurred 1m
never onen regained consciousness. Ho
died in a few minutes, apparently with
out lain. Strange to say, not a bone
was broken, which indicates that death
was caused by a stunning blow on tho
head, or, l-erliapH internal injuries might
liavti had comething to do with it.
Another workman was hurt, but not
heriously. Taking it all io all, the
. iKicape of the other three men was almost
miraculous, and thoy bhould bo thankful
for having been spared from a liko fate "
An exchange tells of a young man
who swore oil" smoking and who was

Unoxplorod Africa.
If any of our readers arc surprised at
the caption of this note, they will be
more so to learn that fully one-third of
the area otitic African continent belongs
to this category. M. Duvcyrier has re
ccntly laid before the Geographical So
ciety of Paris a detail ol the unexplored
regions of Africa, which he distributed
into six portions. Of these Sahara and
Libyan is by far the largest, cmbiacing
six millions of square kilometers. Next
in extent is a country in the west between
the coast of Guinea and the Joliba, the
area of which is less than one-filth ol
that of the deserts named. Third in
order is a vast tract in the centre, north
of the equator, where wc must seek the
sources and courses of the licnese and
the Sharl. A fourth country lies In the
south equatorial zone, continguous to
the preceding region which is of an area
one third of that of the deserts, and in
which some of the greatest problems of
African geography and prominently the
head waters of the Nile and the Congo
sources arc to find their solution. The
fifth area embraces the districts about
Angola and Hcnrrucla, and the sixth lies
on tho cast side of the continent, is of
triangular shape with its apex in Cape
Gardafai, a vciy dark territory as yet,
and supposed to he full of physical inter
est and of historical importance. Ihcse
six great areas will tax the energy nnd
industry or explorers torn long time,
but if these do rot abate from the mcas
utc of recent zeal, half a ccntuary will
suffice to lay them all open In maps and
books, and in far less time they may
disclose their secrets to the multiplied
explorations and appliances of modern
geographers. To enable our readers to
translate the areas wc have given into
the vernacular," wc tnav mention that
a kilometre U about six-tenths ol nn F.n
