"SWs1 ?-. -;,-,- -- ' 'C --v j-v""---' a OJ -ifc: -SSr 0riftm Vol. XVI. Astoria, Oregon, . Thursday Moraine:, January 12, 1882 No. 86; i V WASHINGTON TERRITORY MANOrACTTTRRa Washington Territory lias not done much as yet in manufactur ing, except lumber and flour, but it stands ahead of the following Territories in capital invested and in value of. productiens: Arizona, Dakota, Idaho, Montana, Wyom ing and Utah. The latter is the only Territory which comes any where near Washington, the rela tive figures being: "Capital in vested, Utah, $2,839,463; Wash ington Territory, 2,840,511. In value of manufactures produced there is a still greater difference. Utah, in 1880, $4,217,434; Wash ington Territory, $0,129,702. There are three times as many manufacturing establishments in Utah as in Washington and five people employed in manufacturing to two in Washington Territory. Utah, says the San Francisco Mer chant, has made the most rapid strides during the past twenty years, having brought up the busi ness in that time from a capital of 443,355 and a production of 900, 253 to the figures given above. The increase in Washington has been far less rapid, as in 1SC0, there was 1,190,200 capital in vested and 1,406,291 of manufac tures produced. There arc some other points worthy of notice. An employe in a Utah factory pro duces only about 1,300 a year, while each person so employed in Washington Territory produces 15,000 a year. Again, the capital invested in Utah in 1880, was only $1,000 less than in Washington Territory, but while the former produced only 4,217,434, the lat- V-iSCUp.T,mHn1P(?-Sfi9l VR9. All this seems to indicate that though wages are much higher in Wash ington Territory than Utah, manu facturing has been proportionately more productive and probably more' profitable. The outlook for manufacturing on our northern coast is decidedly encouragingand prudent enterprises should be en couraged by every" legitimate means by the people and the press. A Cool Detective. As a rule, highwaymen in the mining states seldom operate upon a stage coach with "U. S. M." on it. They know that these initials stand for United States mail, and are a pledge that the whole power of the Government will be used to capture them. The detectives in the Govern ment service are quiet men, courte ous in manner and gentle in speech. Mr. Hayes tells, in his book on "New Colorado," of one whom he met, who wore gold spectacles and looked like a Ger man professor. Yet the man alone took two mail robbers from the North to Texas. At one place their friends planned a rescue. He quietly informed his prisoners that, while their friends would un doubtedly kill him, they might be sure that the first motion would send both of them into eternity. Not a man in the crowd moved a finger. On one occssion, a celebrated detective was on a stage which was attacked by two masked men. The first he knew was that two jrevolvers were thrust into the coach's windows with the com cem mand: "Hands up, gentlemen!" The highwaymen "had the drop" on the passengers, which, in their vocabulary, meant the certaiuty of being able to kill before being harmed themselves. To his dis gust tho detective was compelled to give up his watch and mpney. As the robbers loft he put his hand down in the "boot," and to his delight it touched a carbine. Asking the driver to go on a little further and then stop and wait for him, he went back alone. The two men, unsuspicious of danger, were "divying up" the spoils in the middle of the road. This was just what the detective had calculated on. "Now, you scoundrels, it's my turn," he shouted, covering them with the repeating carbine. "Throw up your hands, or I'll shoot." The tolibers, at his command, stepped one side, holding up their hands, while he picked up their revolvers. It was not many min utes before the astonished psssen- gers saw the two highwaymen meekly walking down the road, with the cool" detective following. Thev were taken in the coach and finally lodged in jail. The hero was Gen. Charles Adams, who subsequently went alone among the Utes and secured the release of the women captives from the White River Agency. The Railroad Umpire. In the ten years from 1802 to 1S71, inclusive, the following grants of land were made to rail road corporations, according to the records of tho Interior Depart ment: Lands located Acre Granted.

The Southern Pacific Railroad company teaches a very salutary lesson to the transportation com panies of Oregon br its laudable efforts to appropriate to itself the wheat trade of this coast by cheap freight rates rather than by tho tricks and oppressions so common to monopolies. Wheat will soon be carried from San Francisco to Now Orleans, a distance of 2,200 miles, for 4 384 a ton, terminal charges 1 20 . and thence by steamer to Liverpool for 5 38, making 10 9GA- in all. In other words, a ton of wheat can be shipped from San Francisco via the Southern Pacific, all the way to Liverpool for only 1 901 more than it costs to bring a ton of wheat from the Dalles to Portland. It is perhaps superfluous to say in this connection that when a ton of wheat has araived at this point it cannot be said to have made oven a start towards its foreign destination. Standard. Few persons are awaro of tho variations that each day take place in their height. These changes are not uniform; that is to say, the range, of variation is greater in somo persons than in others; and while on an average it is not far from half an inch, there are those whose height in twenty-four hours varies more than one inch. As might be supposed, a man is tall est in the morning, while the con traction in height is at its extreme at bedtime. The cause for this difference is very simple. During the night there is little direct pres sure on the joints or vertebra:, un der, which they begin to contract, and in so doing they let down the body. The most marked changes are found iu those who are com pelled by their daily duties to spend most of their waking hours standing or walking.

Tf . . t ., YY e got down to Hayt's corners at last. And on the way down we beguiled the weary hours with an ecdote, and Charles Siddons, of Rochester, told us the story of the defiant waiter. The dining-room was full and the waiters were hur ried, and as usual the man who eats with a steel fork and has mush for breakfast and rump steak and boiled p'otatoes for dinner when he is home wanted every thing in the house and wanted it right away, tie bullied the waiter and snarled and sniffed and scolded and made everybody uncomforta ble about him. At last, aftpr de vouring a dinner for three, he pushed back his chair, tossed his napkin on tho floor to indicate hisj gentility and great wealth, and, re marking with aristocratic haughti ness that he couldn't eat any moro of that stuff, strode away. "Rather an unpleasant custom er," Siddons remarked, sympathet ically, to the badgered waiter, who was gathering up" tho great man's dishes. The waiter looked up with tho fire of revenge glittering in his eves. "Oh, dat's all right, sail," he said, meekly, "he didn't get much ahead of me, sah. I done spit in his tea, sah."

Tho Countess, his wife, was prostrated by an inteimit tent fever, from which she was lreed bv the use of the native remedy, the Peru vian bark. or. as It was called in flu language or the country, 'Quinquina." Grateful for her recovery, on her return to Europe in IKS, she introduced trie remedy in Spain, where it was known under various names, until liimuviu called it Cinchona, in honor of the lidv who had brought them that w Inch was more precious than the gold or the Incas. To tins da-, after a lapse of two hun dred and fifty yeais, science has given us nothing to take its place. It effectu ally cures a morbid appetite for stimu lants, by restoring the natural tone of the stomach. It attacks excessive love of liquor as it does a fever, and destroys both alike. The powerful tonic viitue of the Cinchona is preserved In the Peruvian Bitters, which are as effective against malarial fever lo-dav as tliov vvero in the days ot the old Spanish Viceroys. We guarantee Use Ingredi ents of these bitters to be abiolutelv pure, and of the best known quality. A trial will satisfy jou that this is the best bitter in the world.
