As scmiii ns it became fully apparent that
thu world this year was practically without a
surplus thu natural tendency of prices was to
50 a ijuarter, and this was evidently thu
price aimed at by Eastern farmers in d opera
tors. Any further n dilation of nriccs would
depend upon tho crop prosprcts of 1881, and
as thuto hivu fur some tinio Ii.tii very doubt
ful, their only effect could bu to further
strengthen thu views of holders. With tho
worlds supplies nnd requirements so evenly
b danced, thu United States, which is in pos

who had conversed with Pilot llrown it is
learned that ho fltst sighted tho Clatsop Chief
a nan a miiu instant, niu river steamer wns
bearing down on tho port sido of the steam
ship nnd tho pilot of thu Oregon gavo ouu
w hivt L' signaling to tbo man ut tlio w heel on
thu Chief to keep nis couisa. Tills signal wns
iiti.i"-ned correctly, but from what f Mowed
It would appear that Captain Wlbiams ol the
Clatsop Chief, c titer iiiisun'er tood tlu sig
nal or eiso urn not know w mt it meant. Tin
Orei'on was stcunuig up at a rato of twelve
miles nu hour, nml nt that nieuil inpully 01110
ou to the- .appionching vessel, when to his tur
pi ise. Pilot Hriiw 11 saw th t tho auitrsu of the
Chief bad been chmucd nml sho was cutting
icross tho strniu'bip bow, A colli ion was
inevitnbloniid Jwt bcfoio the crash came II
lot lfrown nn g to t'.o engineer bel ,w to ru
verse, which was dune. This retardul the
speed of thu steamship muiicwhit, tut tliu
headway shu Wis under pievcnted 11 full stop
page nml thu inuvit.ible collision iccurrul. At
soon ns iM-il)le, not 111010 thnn ten inluutis,
a boat low etc 1 from tho Oregm, inauued by
soino of tho crow wns iu tho vvnt-r nssisttint
th'isu vvlni wcro diiiuing to thu cabin of thu
scow or iu tho water, all of whom weto
saved. Thrro of tlio four pcisutis lost must
havu been killed, thu other, Andrew Kaye,
the fireman of tho Chief, was drowned, hu
being below nt thu tunu and unable to get nut
before tho rush of waters tluougli tho boat
engulfed him. A (mall lu.it fiom thu shoru
also aniveil in tunc to lender material ns-it-nneu
to thu men iu tho water leiouing a por
tion of them nnd convening them to thu
stcamslii!, which wss driltlug down with tho
current, so ns to keep up with tbo wreck,
Thu lioiler of tho Clatsop Chief uxplodcd
under thu water nml must have shat
tered to pieces what httlo wns left of thu ves
sel. Tho name of of 0110 of tho men lost is
still uiiknow 11. Solium lint remarkable, is tho
fact that iu tho midst of thu excitement thu
Chinesu cook of tho Chief who was among
thu saved, had tho presence of mind to savu
his ba.'gagu mid the only loss bo incurred was
a silver watch. Tho investigation of tho col
Ininii will take placu iu a few days before thu
Pilot Commissioners ut Attoiia, when addi
tional facts may ho forthcoming.
Andrew Kaves, tho fireman of tho Clatsop
Chief, who was lost, wns a resident of this
city and leaves a wife and family. Hu had
nut expected to make thu trip on thu Chief,
but it seems that the cruel tatcs were against
him and had marked him for a victim.

..... .. 1 .. ,-
Smith, f.sip, ann n 1110 fonno judgment was
given nsninst the plauitill. Thu casu will lm
carried directly to the Supreme Couitnt thu
next term, which convenes this month. The
object of this suit is to test thu validity of the
city charter ns amended by tlii Inst legislature-,
w bich put thu police commissioners nut
of olllcu anil pl.acoil tlio cliar,e ol tlio police
department iu tho liauds of tho mayor and
common council. 'Hut is thu new char
ter ostensibly docj this, but it is so
self-contradictory and mixed up that
both the conunissjoners and council arv
apparently vested in thu sa-un lower and
while 0110 section cuts ott tho olllcial beads of
thu former a follow ii e ouu will act foi th cer
tain things to be done only du their approval.
Ignoring their charter decapitvtiou the com
missioners continue to meet, and at 0110 of
their meetings while suspending Olh'ccr (lilhs
from dutv without pay, they allowed him the
sum of $30 duo him for services rendered,
which of courio tho council refused to nay.
To recover this the suit is brought, but the
real motive Is to test tlio charter, ami moie
than an onliiiary interest is manifested as to
the n suit. Thu eitv election villi tako place
next June, and a decision w ill be giv en by the
Supremo Court iu tuna to let tho people know
in what manner tho police denoituieiit is to
be governed, and whether or not police com
missioners' are to lw elected ns formerly. Tliu
wishes of a Urge majority of tho people are in
favor of tbo coiitiiniition of the department iu
tho same manner as has Veen in foreu the past
few years ami not place it iu the hands of the
mayor or common council.
