Hero's a point for some of our river steamboat men. A six year old son of Mr. Cham bers of Cathlaraet, Y.

Tho Clatsop road subscription does not take $120,000, but the time is going on and the road is not built. Seattle seems to have abiding faith. Alex. Mariniemi, whose ca-e ex cited considerable interest, died at St. Mary's hospital yesterday morning. Deceased was a youug man aged 26, and was brought to the hospital about eight days ago, suffering from a pecul iar form of bleeding known as psrpura hemorrhagica, the first case of the kind ever known in Astoria. The most prominent characteristic of the malady appears to be a general extra vasation of blood under the cuticle, in aggravated instances exuding from the skin. Tho funeral will take place at two o'clock this afternoon. Tin "Wedding.

The United States cruiser Adams arrived at Port Townsend last Thurs day from Alaska, bringing news of the wreck of the steamer Eureka, in Peril straits, while on the way to Juneau. Tho Eureka left Sitka on tho evening of the 26th. The next morning while passing the first rapids of Peril straits, making about sixteen knots per hour, the steamer struck upon Wyanda rack with a heavy shock. The steamer immediately lurched heavily to star board, almost going on her beam ends, and slid off the rock into deep water. The steamer was headed for, the shore, and every pound of steam possible was put on that could bo got out of her boilers. She struck the shore just as the water had driven the fire man and engineers from their posts, lines were run out and secured to trees on the banks, to keep her in position. The stores, bedding, etc, were landed, together with such cargo as could be got at in the middle hold. An attempt was made to get freight from the lower hold, but the water soon rose and drove the seamen out. The weather was fine, so that no trouble was experienced in getting passengers ashore. There was no confusion. The shore on which the landing was made is rocky and steep, and rises from high water mark. The chief engineer was sent with a boat to find a site for a camp and selected a small bay a short distnuce from the wreck. Here tents were erected, to which the passengers and cargo were transferred. A small cook stove was saved from the ship, and enough pro visions to last two months, Captain Hunter and his crew remained by the steamer. The tide flows freely through the Eureka at high tide. Her hull aft tho smokestack is sub merged. The only hopo of saving her lies in getting diver's pumps to her on the IdaliOjthat leaves for Port Towns end to-day. Unless such appliances are ssnt them the Eureka will undoubted ly become a total wreck. She is lying exposed in a channel where powerful tides flow. If a gale should spring up nothing can save her. At the timo of tho disaster the Adams lay at Juneau, 145 miles away. A life boat with a crew of six men, and in chanre of the second officer was sent to communicate with her. The boat reached Ivillinsoo, and finding tho steam launch Louisa there, the latter was immediately ordered by Mr. Vanderbilt, her owner, to proceed to Juneau to get help from the Adams. The passengers were still camped near the wreck when the Adams left. BURXIXG OF THE GEATPLBK. A Victoria dispatch of the 3d, ro ports the burning of the steamer Grappler, within four miles of Sey mour Narrows, Sunday night at ten o'clock. Fire was first suspected by the engineer and reported immediately to the captain. All the passengers about 100 in number, and principally Chinamen, were in bed. An imme diate search was made below by the captain assisted by the engineer and purser, and the passengers getting out of bed, the excitement among them vas intense. The captain ordered Pilot Frank lin to head the vessel for the Vancou ver shore. Tho boats were enveloped in smoke. The shrieks of the China men were terrible. The steamer be ing under way, the smoke pouring aft caused so much excitement at the stern that it was difficult if not im possible, to launch the boats. When naif wav to the island the steamer had become unmanageable through the burning of her wheel ropes, and had changed her course for theValde3 side, when a number of the passengers plunged overboard. A passenger named McAllister picked up the pur ser, a man named Roe and two or three Chinamen. One of the China men was supporting himself on a board. This McAllister split m two and made into paddles, which were used by himself and another man to good advantage afterward. In the meantime the steamer kept going backward and forward in an erratic manner, tho passengers shrieking and yelling for assistance, and the flames spreading rapidly over the vessel. Having landed those picked up Mc Allister then proceeded, guided by the lights, toward where the steamer had made her last turn on tho Valdes side. They picked up some China men and Siwashes.Steele the engineer, and several other white men, making about a boat load, and, although Mc Allister was loth to go ashoro from tho continued shrieks which were being unceasingly given from those around, discretion compelled him to put to the shore again. As ho had had terrible hard work to land this time, being ex ceedingly close to the narrows, and the tide increasing rapidly, he did not consider it safe to venture out again, but lighted a fire to warm those who were half dead with cold, some having been upward of an hour in the water. By this time the steamer's engines had stopped and, catching in an eddy, she grounded at a point near Duncan bay, close to the Vaucouver shore. She was wreaVhed in flames from stem to stern, several slight explosions taking place at intervals. She burnt for several hours and at daylight no sign of the steamer could be obtained. One boat thrown from the steamer was turned bottom up and the largest boat filled on launching, through bungling in the slacking of the for ward tackle. The steamer's small boat was successfully launched and picked up the mate and several others, all white men; names unknown. At daylight Smith, iu the ship's boat, proceeded to the Vancouver shore in search of any who might have been saved. In the meantime McAllister left for the Uclataw camp to procure paddles, oars and provisions. Cap tain Jaggcrs was last seen in the water, in mid-current with a life-preserver on. Franklin, the pilot, has not been seen except in the pilot house where he was heroically doing his duty. He might have escaped to the Vancouver shore. But little hopes are entertained of any having been saved on that side. McAllister estimates the loss at fifty lives, the lowest figure. Another Community for the Orego man tc Sneer at. How does it seem to be anxious about a railroad from Portland to Asto ria via Forest Grove, which with a bridge across the Willamette will al low wheat in the region east of the Columbia in Oregon to go to deep water without risk of sand bars, high charges of pilotage, etc.1 How does it suit to have Mr Villard tell the Walla Walla people that he should start building the Cascade branch, as the Oregonian names it, at both ends and make it a continuous Northern Pacific line to the Sound! Does this look like being interested particularly in the river navigation from Portlaud to the sea? Can Portland realize that a little city like ours at The Dalles feels sensitive that she shows no interest iu clearing a river abovo Portland at the Cascades? There can be no doubt in the same man's mind that an immense system as that under Mr. Villard's management, can not be stuck in tho mud at Portland one hundred miles from deep tide water; add to this the perils of Columbia bar and the fre quent annoyances of ice, etc Does it not show that some other terminus is to be demanded by a national high way than Portland, as fine a city as she i? or may be. Portland men must see, if they calculate that tho whole northwest is to be made tribu tary to them, that it simply kills its development, as it has been checked for twenty years past, to build that city up. We are glad to hoar the boom of the first gun, which shows that the progress of the northwest is no longer to be made dependent upon Portland's interest. Wasco Sun, 2. Roll of Honor.

Corner Concomly and Main Streets, A Useful Ant The little locomotive "Ant," the first railroad engino ever brought to Puget Sound, arrived hero in 1874, and for a long time did service on tho old portage road for tho Seattle Coal and Transportation Company, and since has been used as a yard engine for the Columbia and Piiget Sound Railroad Company, was sold to a com pany of Oregon loggers tho other day, and shipped up the Sound on the Emma Hay ward, and sent over tho Olympia and Teuino road, and from Tunino shipped on a fiat car to Kala ma, from which place it will bo taken to its destination on a barge. This little engino has quite a history. She is one of the two first locomotives built on the Pacific Coast, and was or iginally iutended a3 a tramway loco motive to aaaisl in filling up tho mud flaU at San Francisco. Sho was brought to Seattle in 1874, and her arrival was the occasion of more than ordinary merriment. Sinco that time she has been in active Bervice almost constantly, and has pulled nearly if not every one of the larger locomothea on the Columbia and Puget Sound out of the ditch. But tho work be came heavier, aud the "Ant" was found too small for advantageous use, so she was sold and sent to a new field of operations. Post-Intelligencer.
