Lieutenants Greene and Allen

turning last evening. The telegrapl:

ters of a mile from the shore. Vessels
arriving off that coast will be reported

--A most ridiculous clause in th
school law, where it speaks of teach
ors' examinations, is that no applicant
for a certificate shall pay a fee unless

ever tried it, it is more difficult to
examine an ignorant applicant than a
proficient one.

Life Saving Service.
A San Francisco dispatch says : In
terest in the live saving service has
been considerably accelerated by re
cent disasters on the northern const.
The question of adequately sunplviii"
the wants of service on the coast is in
teresting prominent merchants, who,
m a number of cases, have conversed
with Major T. J. RIakeney on the
subject, especially those who were
passengers on the Queen at the timo
the guests of the railroad were on the
way north, and who are loud in praises
of the services rendered by the Cape
Disappointment station. They have
interested themselves in an extension
of the service on the coast. The rec
ommendation made by Major RIake
ney for an increase of stations in
Oregon and Washington Territory and
their full equipment with crews, boats
and machinery, is still pending before
the department at Washington, but
beforj being curried out must be sanc
tioned by congress, mid it is to that
extent lejeinleiii upon the exer
tions of the Pacific const senators. His
idea is that auothor station .should ex
ist in the vicinity of the ontrance to
the Columbia river some twelve miles
from the present ;-tat ion. on ihe op
posite side of the shore. The boards of
trade of Portland, Seattle and this city
are cxitected to consider the matter.

The solid men of Montesano, W.
T., are moving in the matter of hav
ing a city government. And so it goes.
One season, an almost unbroken wil
derness; the next, a settlement, then
a village, then a city, then "rings,"
then "jobs," and "ins," and "outs,"
and contracts and mayors, and all
sorts of shenauigun, and a demand for
"'reform," and the game goes on.
The wharves of the Portland
Flouring Mill company below Albina

py a water front of 500 feet, 200 feet
eep. There are also two docks, each
200 feet long by 1)0 deep, with upper
d lower Hour. Three railroad tracks
have been laid on the wharves, con
necting with the Northern PaciGc.

Oystering is the principal busi
ness and the men are very busy get
ting ready for the winter's trade.
From 100 to 300 sacks of 100 pounds
each was the weekly shipment for
September. Shipments will increase
as the season, advances. Uvsters are
bought by residents here from all parts
of the bay and reserved for winter
shipping, as this is a central point and
some of the best oyster ground lies
near here; but the main reason is that
this is one of the best harbors in all
kinds of wind. A deep channel only
200 yards from shore, enables boats to
et here at any stage of tide. The
mud flats between shore and the chan
ncl is just what the oystcrmau need to
keep their boats on while oystoring
Oysters, are, apparently, in as good
order as ever before, liny Center

Eastern Oregon and Washington
papers express dissatisfaction regard
ing the management of the railroad
They are finding out that interest on
bonds entails putting on the traffic
"all it will stand." The Walla Walls
Statesman says: "With a competi
tion between three or more transcon
tinental lines we could feel safe
enough, but with a combination of
them all under a pool, this agreement
simply means that the interest on
greater outlay must be paid by the
patrons of the road. Wc assuredly
must pav a tariff as the traffic will
allow, and still more. For where w
originally paid in tariff under one
road system the profits or interest
upon the capital invested, we must
now pay such an additional amount a
will pay the interest on all the tran - i
continental roads, and that, we find, !

The U. S. Salary List
This book is prepared by Henry N.
Copp, a lawyer of Washington, D. C.
All the government salaries aro given
from President Arthur's 50,000, to
postmastcra with $500, officials of the
treasury, interior, war and navy de
pertments, custom houses, post otlices,
and fully 20,000 federal offices ar
ranged by states and territories.
Specimen examination questions for
admittance to tho civil service
throughout the country are added. I
The price of the book is 35 cents.
Erery citizen who expects his senator
or representative to offer him a gov

manual can decide at once whether to
accept or decline the offer. It may
save candidates from declining fat
offices through wrong information.
Should the Democratic party carry the
next presidential election every Demo
crat in the country would want this
book without a doubt.
Dinnie Acquitted.
The examination of Donald Dinnie,
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses, was concluded in the
Police Court yesterday, and the de
fendant discharged. Judge More-
iikI , in rendering his decision, stated
that the more he looked into the law
the more convinced he became that
this case didn't come within the stat
ute. There had been no pretense in
writing, the agreement being for
something that was to occur in tho
future, and unfortunately, there was
no law to punish a person for simple
lying. The Judge further remarked
that if all show men were compelled
to fulfill their published programme,
cases ot tins kind would be more
numerous. Standard. 13th.
Take It Back.
Let tne give you in a word a few
facts in regard to the business of Port
land from the forthcoming annual re
port of tho board of trade. The pack
of salmon amounted to G29,000 cases
this year, valued at $2,7G9,000. This
is done by Portland capital along tho
Columbia, as described in a previous
letter.
The above is an extract from a
Portland letter to the Springfield He-
publican. J ho Uregoman complacently
copies it, and tacitly endorses the
truth of the statement. Iguorance is
always excusable, but our Portland
contemporary certainly knows better
than the eastern correspondent that
the above is a a mistake.
