Brown, J. G. Hustler and I. 11. D, Gray, commissioners, and s. 1. Ale Keau, secretary. Meeting called to order by the chairman, Captain J. A. Brown, nt 2:30 r. M. Minutes of the last semi-annual and special meetino-3 read and approved. Tho matter of the British bark River Ax-on vs. A. W. Betts, river pilot, w-as first taken into consideration. In this caso complaint xvas filed September 8, 1SSI, by Captain John HoUcr, master of the British bark River Avon, against ltiver Pilot A. W. Betts, for carelessness and incompetency in getting his vessel ashore m the Columbia river, in con sequence of complaint not being sworn to and no party appearing to prosecute tho same, the board did not take any action in the matter. Thu board now proceed ,1 -o investigate thu charges of Henry Hewitt, o -"iVnee of the British bark Santou, -s. K, J. Moody, river pilot. The following witnesses were called and their testimony taken, viz.: Captain Thomas Rodgers, master of said bark Santou; Captain h. r. Parkor, master ot the steamer Wara Parker; K. J. Moody, the defendant in the case. After hearing the evidence and duly consid ering the case, the boaid found as follows : 1'INHINOS OF TUB BlIAllIl. Ill the matter of tho charges of Henry Hew itt, consignee of thu British bilk 'Santon,' vs. K. J. Moody, Columbia river pilot, after thorough investigation we find that K. J. Moody went on board the fuilt "Santon"on November 7, 1SS1. while lying ut Astoria and otlticd his service a3 Cjlutnbii river phot, which was aceepttd, and that said bark pro ceeded on her way to Portland with Pilot Moody in clmiL'e. and that duriii!.' thu tunc that said Moody was iu charge of said bark, on the 7th of November, he was intoxicated and incompetent, and on thu morning of the 8th Novc-nber, in consequence of said Moody being still under the liilluciico ot liquor, said bark was stranded and incurred an oxpenso ot $022 00, and wc lind him liable for the above amount with costs of suit. Wo therefore re voke K, J. Moody's branch as Columbia liver pilot. It appearing that Pilot A. Yv. Hewitt is not connected with any steam or sail pilot boat, and has moreover left the pilot grounds without thu consent of this board, the secre tary was instructed to notify tlio said Hewitt that his branch as pilot on the Columbia river bar is therefore revoked. After tJausacting some minor business the board adjourned, sine die. OUR CLUB RATES. Happy Illce. Bice alias May, the burglar, who furnished so many items soino mouths .since, and who was sentenced to the penitentiary Jiy Judge Stott for 2 years, has, it seems, become converted. Ho writes to a lady of Kast Portland, who "ministered" to him whilo in prison a lung letter, the last paragraph of which we quote : "1 am comparatively comfortable hero. Ouo thin;? particulaily 1 am very thankful for is good light, ami at piesent I havo phnty of timo to study your valuable gifts to mo. 1 can always find prolitahlo employment with my Biblo and hymn book. I am not iu the least despondent; I feel that God is hero as elsewhere, and so long as I daro t.l do light throuuh His assisting grace, ho will make Himself know ii. May his will be done." Wo always thought it was a good job when ho was tent up, and anyone reading that inu-t I'o convinced of tho fact. There ate plenty of Bibles and hymn books outside of the prison, but his misfortune was that he had not time to pel use them. Ho was to busy bin glaring ho neglected this in itttr. So long as liu feels as he does and "darus to do right" when ho can't help himself, hu had better stay wherol.ois. If he has any idea of getting out on the religions racket, ho has commenced too soon, Simulant. The Willamettk Farmeb has no canvassing agents in the field, and seldom makes any effort in that direction, except that Mr. Clarko and his son occasionally find new friends in their travels. To sustain a circulation usually requires constant xvork in the field, and per haps the strongest proof of the popularity of this newspaper is tho fact that without any organized system of canvassing, its subscrip tion list is much larger than any weekly news paper in tho State, except the Oreyonhw, nd has a much larger circulation among the pro ducers of Oregon and Washington than any other newspiper. Simply by the force of its own merit and the popular appreciation that recognizes it, the Faumeu has found its way to every comer of the Pacific Northwest, but it still needs the assistance of good w-orking friends to increase this circulation and placo it on a basis of pros perity that will furnish its publishers means to improve it in all its departments. No other agricultural community, with the samo population, anywhere in the known world, has as good a local journal, devoted to producers, as this is. The growth of the country, and its rapid improvement, justifies the belief that support will increase in tho future ; but this being tho season of tho year when producers realize for their harvest, and when they provide reading matter for the coming ) car, we request all our friendstb do what they can to incrcaso our circulation in each neighborhood. Wo do not ask this for nothing cither, but will extend the proposition we have made for years past, which is more liberal than club rates given by any other Oregon newspiper. Tor three new subscribers and $7.00 in coin we will credit the sender one year on his own subscription, and to all who may procure now subscribers wo will credit lour months on tluir own subscription lor eacli new name, and 2.o0 nccomnaiiying it; or in that propor tion for as many names as may bo sent. Any person desirous to work for the Farm- eh in this way can apply to us, for special terms, for wo wish good work done everywhere. While wo are willing to pay liberally tor increase of circulation, and offer the above terms in proof of the fact, we still recognize the good will and friendliness ot those who get up such clubs, and appreciate their cll'orts as done nioic for friendship than for gain. Wo will send sample copies, or send the Farmer a month on trial, free, where those desirous of getting up clubs may request, for wo arc glad to have tho paper thus introduced to tho notice of now readers, and almost al was retain those who try our paper in good faith, as permanent subscribers. We especially ask our friends to call the at tention of new comers who may settle near them to tho waluo of the Farmer as a farmer's organ, a hows journal and a general family newspaper. There is" an old saying ; "What is the use of having friends if you can't make uso of them?" UAUMAN, Kast Portland, Or. COWS WANTED. TWO OH THREE OOOUCOWS, ONE AT l.KAST must be Ircsh.
