"We are surprised to hear that the Portland board of trade trade fellows represented to the Olympia assembly that the pilot bill they ask to be adop ted over there, passed both branches of the Oregon legislature, but failed to become a law for want of time (10 minutes) to secure the signature of the speaker before the legislature adjourn ed. Every member of the Oregon leg islative assembly, every man present there during the last hours of the as sembly, the officers of that body the Portland board of trade as well know that statement to be false. The bill did pass the senate, but was so amend ed in the house that its advocates in. the senate could not recognize it, ex cept by the title (almost every objec tionable feature was removed). This did not suit the friends of the bill in the senate, as the cry was "anything to beat Astoria" and the amendments of the house were concurred in. After the second sober thought they conclu ded to let the bill as amended go by default, and it never became a law. These are the facts in a nut shell. Bills Approved The governor of "Washington terri tory has approved the following mea sures,, passed by the present assembly: "No. 82, amending the act providing uniform weights; 85, fixing the appor tionment of members of the legisla ture; 96, for maintenance of schools in Jefferson county; 102, for relief of Puget sound navigation company; 27, to amend the act incorporating Walla "Walla; 29, to protect forest and tim ber lands from lire; 91, to encourage cultivation of oysters; 117, extending the time for equalizing taxes in King county; 72, in relation to grand and petit jurors; 118, to encourage salmon hatching houses on the Columbia river." For the Girls. "Aunt lioxie" in Salem Mercury. "How did you like the article on 'Advice to Boys,' that I saw you read ing the other day?" was the question put to a young person in his teens. " Well,it was good and well written,but altogether too advicey," was the char acteristic answer -of young America. All! yes, that's just the way; those that need counsel the most and heed it the least, is the old time sentiment. But why so much to the boys and slight the girls? Since I was left a widow, with five small children, and by that peculiar dispensation of Providence so often noticed, four of them are girls, it falls t ) my lot to do many things not ex actly under the categorical head of vo cation. For instance: picking apples, and while engaged in this healthful and useful occupation, thought of nu merous girl friends, especially when viewing the higher branches and cal culating, like a true-born Yankee, whether they could be reached with the little ladder used on these occasions. The most brilliant hued, rich colored and temptingly looking fruit was al ways on the highest branches, looking down at you from their lofty height, as much as to say, "climb up higher and get me if you can." Here was the point for the girls; hold yourselves high and don't be ready to fall, like an over-ripe apple, for ihe first one that shakes the tree. If you are worth anything, you are worth striving for, and you need never fear being left to wither for want of some one to reach up and carry off the prize. There may be some who will say "sour grapes," but never mind that. Modest fruit there was, too, hid among the branches, requiring some ingenuity in reaching, less attractive at first sight, because lacking the brilliant color of their more aspiring sisters, but quite as good for "keepers" and equally as desirable, like young misses brought up in the retirement of home, whom, to be ap preciated must be sought among the protecting leaves and branches of the home tree. The fail fruit, strewn on the ground by the first bi-eath of wind, I thought little of, except as it sug gested a comparison to those 3'oung girls who assume young ladyhood long before the time when they should be most sought after. Taken altogether, apple-gathering is Tsot so prosaic a business as you might think; but don't trust to appearances always if you should be tempted to try jour liaud at it, for the most luscious specimens of the apple family that I gathered l&sfc year were green, unat tractive looking oneB, heretofore al ways left on ihe trees as unfit for use, "until by accident1 their excellence was discovered.

Hice is re-elected governor of Mas sachusetts. The vote shows a surpris ing falling off of democratic votes. The election in Connecticut was mostly local. P. T. Banium goes to the general assembly from Bridgeport. John Morrisej' is elected in John Kelly's district. This is as we antici pated. Republicans are gaining in the state of New York. The democrats in Virginia beat the republicans and workingmen's ticket combined. There was no oppo sition to the state conservative ticket. Texas congressmen daily get in formation confirming the belief that the Diaz-government neither possess nor is likely to acquire any power' to enforce compliance with the ar rangements of the secretary of state tlirough the treaty for the protection of the border. It is stated that every effort of Diaz to encourage friendship with the United States seems to cause increased indignation among the Mexi cans, and to hasten its overtlirow. Another serious marine collision occured Saturday night at 12 o'clock in. the G&rif of Georgia. The tug Alexander was towing the lumber laden British bark Ocean Gem and. Holten Castle from Moody's mills to Victoria, when the hawser of the Hol ten Castle gave way -and the vessel going adrift was struck by the Ocean Gem and her side crushed in. The Ocean Gem lost an anchor and chain, her bowsprit and some other gear. She was towed to an anchorage and the Holten Castle, winch is an iron vessel, was brought to Esquimalt for rejairs. The Times "Washington special says: It wa3 a stampade without rea son or thought, which passed Bland's swindling silver bill in1 the house on the oth, under suspension of the rules. Over a hundred members were absent, including some of the more conservative ones. This partially ac counts for the extraordinary vote of lG3to34. The bill is essentially the same as Judge Buckner's, which was referred to committee on weights and measures. "Western members voted nearly in a body for the measure. The republicans number 24 out of the en tire vote cast against it. Our DicR Heard From A "Washington sj)ecial of the Oth, says: "The overwhelming majority by which the silver bill passed the house, nearly five against one, sur prised the opponents. The programme arranged by its principal supporters at a conference this morning, was merely to move a suspension of the rules for its assignment to some day next week. Subsequently they became convinced there was a possibility of its obtaining a two-thirds vote on the question of its passage, but the effect was made with some misgivings, and the result astonished its most sanguine friends. The largeness of its majority was due partly to the absence of a number of anti silver congressmen who have gone to New York and other neighboring states to participate 111 the election, but if all the absentees had been present the bill would, nevertheless, have commanded a considerable more than a two-thirds majority. Page, Pacheco, Luttrell, Williams, and Wren voted against Ewing to move the resumption and repeal from the morning hour and allow a direct vote upon it. The total vote against .this motion was as foreshadowed in the dispatches, ver3 small." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
