Proctor, the astronomer, made
8,J00, nearly $40,000. by his
lectures in Australia and Xew
.Zealand. He also fell in love with
the widow ('orey, coming to her

from New Zealand, and will marry
"in a mouth at St Jo. Mrs. C.
leaves San Francisco for t. Jo to
day. Proctor will '-lecture"" across
by the way. The match is set
down as a good one by passengers
on board the City of New York.
It was purely an affair "at first'
sight, encouraged by mirth and
'music, sense and sentiment, on the
royage. Mr. Proctor is a widower
with six children. Mrs. C. has two
children. Her husband died re
cently in Australia. Proctor will
settle in cither Xew York, Phila
delphia, or Boston, perhaps the
latter place, and devote his future
attentions to his new family and
Jiterature.

to be a position most uncertain as

te-day, but no obstruction is caused
thereby: it is only a little blinding to
the eyes. I wished I had my smoked

lightful. On the 4th, we inut westbound train
at 2:30 v. i. at Otto. We meot vnv

there are evidence all along Limine

Sand Island to he Colonized.
On Thursday last, Capt. Fred
C-ongdon, long in the employ of
the Messrs. Cook Brothers, of Clif
ton, made a visit to Sand island
for the purpose of locating thej
spot which offered the most favor
able facilities for the erection of
. j
the buildinir, necessarv to carrv
out the plans and designs of Cook
Bros., who ha e leased the island
lrom the L nited tates govern-,
ment for a term of five years, se
curing for themselves the exclusive
privilege of the use of it for that
period.
localizing that tta greatest
salmon catch as well as the finest
fish can be secured at the mouth
of the Columbia river, in the im j
mediate vicinity oi me iManu,
thee gentlemen propose to loeate
all the fishermen they employ
during the fishing season on the
island. 1 1 i their intention to erect
there comfortable mes and lodg
ing hoiise- for the fishermen, and
the necessary racks for drying and
mending their nets. A large scow
wharf is also to be built and
anchored in the sheltered bay at
the head of the island, a spot
which has always Imen "used as a
ealm resnrt and resting place by
the tired fishermen after his nights
toil when waiting for a tow to his
cannery. This bay fronts the
spot selected for Cook Uros. build
ings. The houses are now in
course of construction at St Helens,
the material will all be prepared
there, framed and cut, read- to be
speedily put together when landed
on Sand island.
The advantages to be derived
from this unique scheme are, in
the estimation of the enterprising
firm who hare taken it in hand,
very many and very obvious.
Among others, they say it ill be
a great saving of labor from the
fact that the men and boats being
located right on the fishing grou ml
will render the pulling or towing
of the loaded boats to their can
nery at Clifton or even to this rity
and also a return trip in the even
ing unnecessary. Then again,
much of the time consumed on
these hitherto necessary trips am
be comfortably spent by the fish
ermen in needed sleep.
They contend also that their fish
ermen will be greatly benefitted
by this arrangement, by labor
saved and sleep gained, and will
also have a better chance to save
their hard earned money. We
understand that Cook Brothers in
tend under no circumstances to
allow any of their fishing boats to
leave the island except for the
purpose of fishing, but it is pro
posed to give such of the men as
desire it, an opportunity to come
to town on their new steamer, the
Argonaut, every Saturday evening,
returning next day in time to re
sume fishing. We are also in
formed that they purpose to pass a
law which is intended to be held
as sacred as that of the Medes and
Persians, that if any fishermen in
their employ shall be found to be
intoxicated, his boat will be irre
vocably taken away from him.
Success to the Sand island colo

letter charging the Xew North- i

sprightly journal we give its
answer t the ehiirsje. in it issue
of the 10th inst:
In last Sunday's Astki..v. Mr."
W. H. Cray, of Olney, eomplains
that the columns of the New
Not th west have been "opiicd for
an article from a man called Bishop
Lunt. on the genuine bible argu
ments in favor of a polygamous
j system," and "prostituted in the
interests of men eallnitr theiiiselve:

nal since it- in. alley, ami knows
that it ha never lost an oppor
tunity to depict the horrors of
Mormouism ami denounce the
crime of polygamy. No other pa
per in the -tate bus commented o
freely on the practices of the Mor
mons. In the introduction to the
article which so excited him. it was
exwresslv stated that the Xew
Xrt Invest favors the the disfran
chisement of polygamists ''because
they are offenders against tin laws
ami no more deserving of the bal
lot than other criminals-;" that'Hhe

could he enforced if they were tie
prived of political powers:" an J I
mat "tne remark- made m tieifiie
of polygamy by Bishop Lunt"'
were published because "we al
ways wish to be fair in discussing
any question"" and to give both
sides. With these sentences star
ing Mr. Cr. in the face, ho is guil
ty of demagogy in holding this
journal up as au endorser of the
Mormons and charging that its ed
itor's pen is 'prostituted"' to dis
seminate their doctrins.
