For charging a citizen with shwoting hogs, Orcnt, editor of the Palousc Boomerang, has been arrested for libal. Probably it was pig3 or awine tho man shot. At half-past ten this morning, E. C.

Mont gomery, ner.r Kalama, was found murdered near that place last Mon ilny. The perpetrators are unknovrn. The secretary of the Portland board of trade in his annual report, speaks of "Cape Disappointment," at the mouth of the Columbia river. He probably refers to Cape Hancock A carpenter named Tucker em ployed on the roadway near the new dock met with a severe accident yes terdaj afternoon by a pile of lumber falling upon him, breaking his right leg at the ankle. If you lived in Chicago aud wanted to gc to Indianapolis tiie rail road company would take you tliero on a first class car for fivo cents, and give you a chromo. To us it is an un cmbraced opportunity. A new ten-inch hawser has been put on each of the three tugs, Pioneer, Brcnham and . Columbia. These hawsers aro about 125 fathoms in length, weighing considerably over a ton, and are worth about 400. At tho regular meeting of the city council last evening Mayor Hahn presiding, councilmen Case,Carrutherfl' and Trenchard present, there being no quorum, an adjournment was made till nert Saturday evening at half-past seven o'clock. Tho Boxburgshire, Hirer 2Uh and W&tcrn Belle aro finishing cargo; the Mount Washington, is unloading car trucks and railroad material; the Ravenslondide is ready for sea; the Cliasca and Geo. S.

Judge Field of the Unitod States Supremo court has rendered a sensi bla docision to tho effect that the Ghincae restriction act is valid aud to be judiciously upheld, and that Chi nese bom in Hongkong are to bo ex cludes equally with thoso from any other part of the empire. - A letter from Sidney Dillon, president uf the Union Pacific railroad, to A. F. Parker, the proprietor of the Nes Parce JNVie, says that the com pany have no design of extending the Oregon Short line at present beyond a connection with the 0. Jl. &. N. Co. at Baker city, but that the practi cability of extending the road down Snake river to Lcwiston and beyond, will be taken up in proper time and considered on its iierits. Captain Scott, of the Fleetwood, ia going to build a propeller this fall that ho intends shall pass any boat on the Columbia river. It will be 175 feet long, 28 feet beam, seven feet depth of hold and will make the run between here and Portland inside of five and a half hours. Captain Scott has a habit of making a success of whatever he undertakes and will have a boat that will be a credit to himself and a convenience to the traveling public. In preparing his annual array of figures, Mr. B. I. Cohen who occupies tho proud position of "statistician to the Portland board of trade," includes in "die trade of Portland, Oregon,1 little matter of C18,332 cases of aalm on. A brief explanation of the pro cess by which Mr. Cohen arrived at a justification of the above claim might prove of interest to the outside public. If Mr. C. knows anything he knows that Portland has as much to do with the salmon pack of the Columbia with the gold yield of the Sierra Ne vadas. Notice to the tatlics.

Contemporary Comment If the; Columbia river was made navigable there would not bo much danger of monopoly in transportation to the sea. IFcsfon Leader. The Northern Pacific having been favored in an extraordinary manner by congresa, the company ought to servo the people by. establishing low rates, and not unite with these who control other liues in a pooling ar rangement or agreoraont to plunder the people. 2?.

It occurs to us that the government is penny wise aud pound foolish in not protecting its property. A secure vault, costing but a a mall sum. would have contained the valuable records and papers H the offices destroyed in Olympia on the 12th and saved them. A like occurrence happened at Colfax last year, and others are happening every little while. Chronicle. Gen. Nesmith in the procession, the Pioneers being requested fo tako tho rear by General Morrow, replied, "Tho Pioneers follow nothing but an ox team and God Ahuightj'.' "'Then tako what place you please,' replied Morrow, and Nesmith took the head of the procession. GJumbian. In Juno last Northern Pacific pre ferred stock soid in Wall street at 90 Northern Pacific common at 52 and Oregon Transcontinental in April sold at 35. Last Saturday Oregon Transcontinental sold at nil, North ern Pacific common at .'MJ, and pre ferred at G4f. But those, quotations do not indicate the value of these se curities. Oregoniau. A combination of robbers and thieves, who got into position by set ting up the pretense of reform, con trols the cit' government of Portland. This is plain language, but the situa tion demands it. There is no use of mincing words. Corruption and scoundrolistn rule .the city. Oreqon- Au unusual number of wealthy men irom various sections ot the country will spend portion of tho season in Washington. Among those reported to be coming are D. 0. Mills of San Francisco and New York; C. P. Huntington, Henry Yillard, Fred- crick Billings, late president of the Northern Pacific; Leland Stanford, William Sharon, Charles Crocker and others. Their coming is accounted for several reasons by different gossip3. Some say it is due to the probable movement to induce the irovcmment to purchase tho Western Union; others possible legislation aflfecting nearly all the great land grants made to tho various raiiroads, particularly the Southern Pacific and Northern Pacific roads. Washington JTcrald. It begins to ioofc as if a railroad will bo built from Forest Grove to Astoria after all, and that Yillard will no longer be looked upon as a "swell- head" bv the canners bv tho soa. Welcome. Notwithstanding the complotion of the N. P. railroad, -'and the vast in flux of population," houses and rooms for rent aro daily becoming noro plentiful, and prices are looking down ward. )y elcome. Much disappointment is felt by the residents of this place over Yillard's failuro to build the proposed railroad from here to Astoria. It is a surprise to many that the road should coat more per mile than the Portland- Dalles ros'l. It is also a matter of surprise that a man or a company of men mat can spena .uu,uuu lor an excursion, should lack funds for road building. The question now is, will our representatives and senators try to havo the land, so long kept out of market by the railroad company, re vert to the Government? Forest Orove Corr. Standard. Jffair-nnnaeu mon cannot sco any serious damage to Portland in the building of a railroad to Astoria. Surely the oldest town iu the North west should enjoy some of the jollifi cation from the new order of tilings. If the pioneers admire their sons, and tho Columbia is .such a wonderful stream, there iB no honest objection that its confluence with the ocean should not hear the scream of the iron horse. Portland justly feels proud of the known fact that Yillard has more than established its railroad center. Soon, perhaps too soon, another may be at the helm. "Those who laugh last, laugh the loudest." There is an organization of young men who say to old Oregonians as well as new com era, "we were born in this country and. 'by tho internal we mean to con trol it." Such an organization is the spirit of the Willamette valley and of t Oregon generally. These young men givo credit to their sires and honor their memories; but when he who comes among them, however much he may have studied land titles, attempts to ignore tho first laws of settlement, will find a foeman worthy of his steel. They know the value of their home birth, and Astoria is their headquar- tere. Portland will loso nothing by aiding tho construction of a railroad to the sounding sea. Old Tntn in Standard. Competing Lines. The Central Pacific is now com pelled to admit that it has competi tion for tho through traffic. The rep resentatives of tho Northern Pacific aro therefore likely to be conservative in the present council, believing that they havo largo interests at stako and not enter into a pool unless assured of a fair share of the business. The Union Pacific is believed to bo neutral in the promises. It has a contract with the Northern Pacific by its Ore gon Short Line and will by next Jan uary have established a through con nection, independent of the Central Pacific, with San Francisco and will also have a communication by water with Portland, Or. Tho Central Pacific owns a majority of the Atlantic and Pacific stock and can dictate the policy aud manage ment of that road. The Southern Pacific is the western outlet of ths Atlantic and Pacific, which taps the former road at Needles, A. T. The eastern terminus of the Atlantic and Pacific is at Albuquerque, N. M., where it taps the Atchinson Topeka and Santa Fe. These two roads namely the Southern Pacific and tho Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fo have interests iu common. The St. Louis aud San Francisco railroad is virtually within the control of the Central Pacific and tho South ern Pacific syndicate and is thus pre pared, if necessary, for a sharp com petition with the Northern Pacific. Stanford, Huntington and Crocker also control the Atlantic and Pacific road. S. F. Chronicle. Mysteriously Disappeared We copy the following from a Cress- well correspondent to the Harrisburg Disaeminator: "York E. Hines. a former resident of Cresswell. has rather mysteriously disappeared from Astoria, where he was at work in a saw mill. He left his family one moraine with the ostensible purpose of going to work as usual, proposing at tho samo timo to leave $40 with his wife, which she declined for the reason that she did not like to have it in the house in liia absence. Tho next heard from his father-in-law, Mr. Robinett, of Cresswell, received a letter from him mailed at Portland, requesting him (Mr. Robinett) to como and get Mrs. Mines and the children, as he did not expect to see them any more. Mr. Robinett went down immediately and brought home the distressed wife and children, but could find no cluo to the disappearance 61 Mr. Hines. The afflicted family have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. Mr. Hines was an Odd Fellow, and industri ous man, but of lato years given con siderably to hard drink. The family is almost destitute and Mrs. H. an invalid makes the affair still more sad."' It is doubtful if any city in the northwest to-day exhibits better evi dence of prosperity than Astoria. Though all things are not as we would all wish, yet in what plaee is the state of things wholly satisfactory? There exists no municipality where all points are iu such a Utopian state of beati tude that no further improvement is practicable. One of tho best criter ions by which the prosperity of a com munity can be judged is tho price at which real estate is held. Astoria property is above par, is a good buy at present figures, and real estato owners aro not at all anxious about roll ing except the prico is wholly satisfac tory, and even then the terms of pay ment must be definite. If any doubl ing Thomas there be, he can easily ver ify our statement. WOSIA.V AMI II KK DISEASES. is the title of a large illustrated treat ise, by Dr. R, Y. Pierce, Buffalo, N.
