After telegraphing his resignation last Tuesday, Capt. Everson, upon going out to his vessel, said, in refer ence to taking leave of his crew: "I am not the lire that has been kindled for tho irradiation of the 13th L. H. District. I am merely a fire fly. To obey the promptings of nry heart I will say that it is with feelings blendid with sadness and regret that I leave you with whom 1 liavo passed through so many storms and perils. Tou have won my regard and alTec tion, by qualities, which whenever found, in the lowest aa in the highest forms of social life are the ornament and charm of humanity; wo have been for a long time as one family, though unlike many domestic circles we have been denied tho tender and re fining influence, and spared the cap rices ef the feminine heart, your faith fulness to duty, propriety of deport ment and above all your instinct of obedience has rendered my life on ship board exceedingly pleasant and agreeable. Now I will remind you of the many times, when in tho perform ance of your arduous and perilous daties, yon have heard tho voice of our Creator in the tempest's blast guiding yon .safely among rocks and treacherous sands, the same Provi-. dence that has watched over you in tho past will sustain you in tho future, and I trust you will have a deep and abiding faith in Him and remember that not a sparrow falli to the ground without His notice. 1 leave you my best wishes for your happiness and welfare, and I am encouraged to be lieve that with my departure will bo gin the halcyon day3of theShubrick."

This question says the Sacramento Bee has been argued pro and con, but the experiments by Air. Living ston Stone have definitely determined tho fact that salmon die after soawn- ing. This gentleman built :i dam over one of the rivers impassable to salnon, which, he say, "settles the question finally, and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that f all tho thou sands of Sacramento salmon that spawned in the Cloud, not one in a hundred returned to tho sea alive.'" The remarkablo persistency with which these fish in tho Columbia river and larger streams, travel hundreds of railoB to fulfill the procreative callings of nature, is most remarkable; and when it is considered that manv ar rive at their spawning grounds with their heads battered out of shape by contact with tho numorjU3 obstruc tions encountered during the ascent, it is not singular that so few survivo to return to the sea. Andrew Onderdonk. to whom the contract for building the western end of the Canadian Pacitic tranconti-j nental railroad was awarded, returned j to this city, saya the San Fra cisco Chronicle, a few days ago from the scene of operations. The length of road required to be built under the contract h 125 miles. The ronto of fers very serious obstacles, iti so far as speed of progress is concerned, on ac count of the high precipices which have to be crossed and the general rocky nature of the country, requir ing for tho greater portion to be shelved and galleried. About 00 miles of the line havo been graded, and at least twenty miles ironed. The cost wf constructing a mile is Slf0,000. The force of white laborers at present employed in the works numbers about 1.500 with a like number of Chinese. This will increase in the spring to 10, 000 men. The whites receive $2 u day, the Chinese receiving half that amount. Along the road stores have been opened, where the provisions and clothing needed by the laborers can be obtained. Boarding houses have also been opened, at which the whites are charged 16 a month and Chinese $10. The explosives are manufac tured at the scene of operations, all other supplies being received from this city, England or Canada. The contract price for building tho seclion of tho road for which Air. Onderdonk iH the contractor is 1,000,000. He expects to complete the contract in about three years. The road, though originally inaugurated by the Domin ion government, has recently been turned over to the syndicate. Tho entire distance is 4,500 miles, and the road, when completed, will bo the longest unbrokon lino in the world. It will bo completed in 1890, at a cost of $G0,000,0t0. An effort will then bo made to control the Oriental trado, and with this end in view a line of steamers will be placed on tho Pacific with he probability of another to Australia. whom wens referred the charges pre ferred against Chief Barry, says- that "we find that Mr. Barry made use of kuinia"c that was indiscreet, but do not consider that the same was in tended :ih orders to the oHicerto whom thev were addressed, or were intended ; to be serious, nnd recommend that no further action be taken in the same."' itllnmsport Property.

The East Portland Vindicator says that the expression "the houso is building" is incorrect, and regrets that people are liable to fall into the error of supposing it correct becaupo they see it and similar phrases in the newspapers. The word "building" is used in the proper sense in that ex pression. The faulty verbiage "being built" is ungramatical, uncouth, aud deservedly obsolescent. The Standard says that D. P. Thompson announces that inasmuch as an impression had got abroad that the money raised by merchants there for his use in entertaining and lobby ing at Washington was for his per sonal and traveling expenses, he wants it distinctly understood that not ono cent of it should be looked upon by him as his, nor retained as compensa tion, and that it should be spent in helping to get Government aid for the Columbia and Willamette, and that if anything was left it should bo returned to the committee on his getting back to Portland. Another of those fine A. It. Chase organs at the City Dook Store. New Books. Wc have received by yesterday's mail per Columbia, a wildly fascinat ing work of thrilling interest, entitled "Official Gazette of the Patent Office." Some of the narratives nve realistic in their nature, and throughout the work there runs an under current of intense grief, of passionate longing, vet we are "lad to note that it ends happily, and the trials of the hero but serve as a blue-black background for the contrasted blaze of splendor that his ultimate success emits. The opening chapter has this touching bit of de de scripteon: "In a ratchet brace tho combination with tho ratchet wheel aud the eliding spring, Pawl of the ro tating and sliding collar connected with the said Pawl and provided with the stop notches for engaging with the stop pin," etc. It would, perhaps, have been better if "Pawl of tho ro tating and sliding collar," (who is evi dently the hero by reason of his unique neck gear) had not pro vided with the atop notches; but then the author understands all that better than any one else. The boys in the oftico wept bittorly when we read the pathetic narrative aloud, aud one, in the intensity of his choking grief, said he was content to die. nKrOHT.S OP OKFICKR.s.
