Despite the stormy evening the

being a unique entertainment known as
"breaking the jugs." For some weeks
past the M. E. Sunday school children
have put their spare dimes and nickels
into little enrthern jugs, and last ovening
they were broken and the money
counted. The exercises opened
by the choir singing "Holy Spirit

panying on the organ, after which
Scott Bozorth read "Order Up tho Cart

cup" was then sung by the choir, followed
by a recitation, "Alcohol and Tobacco,"

The sad tidings wore rvceived at this

tcrvillo Journal, that Ed. K. Patterson,
familiarly known as "Uncle Ed." had
been drowned. It stems tlmt Ed. was on
his way to South Bend with Fred Lobarl,
in a sloop, and when off Bay Center, Lo
bart went ashore with a lady, leaving tho
deceased alono in tho boat. On return
ing a short time after, Patterson could
not be found, and a search ashore failed
to reveal his whereabouts. On going to
tho boat a second time, however, his
body was seen a short distance away, and
life "found to be extinct. He was taken
ashore, and as soon as possible
placed aboard of the Favor

took place on Monday, and was numer

is that he lost his balauco and tell over

In the estimates of the secretary of the
treasury, concerning Pacific coast re

ing a steam tender for light-houso serv-
in this district. The vessel when
built is designed to take the place of the
Shubrich. which is becoming rather anti
quated, niter twenty-six yeara battling
with the breezes of this northwest coast.
Tho Tom Coricin was built for this dis
trict, and by right belongs at Astoria,
but tho department somehow found out
that she was a good seaworthy vessel, and
so on various occasions have sent her as
near the North Polo as Pacific waters
allow. The Shubrick has done good serv
ice, and hy tho time the new vessel is
ready to tako her place there will be
work for her to do.

The First X. P. B. B. Prenldent.
Josiah Perham, tho first president of
the Northern Pacific Railroad company,
was a man of great energy, integrity and
singleness of purpose. He was an en
thusiast, but at the same time a practical
man of business, and ho had tho rare
faculty of communicating his enthusi
asm to others. He was born in 1803, in
"Wilton, Maine, and in his early business
career first a country storekeeper, and
afterwards the proprietor of a small
woolen mill. Going into land specula
tion in Maino, ho failed, but afterwards
as a wool merchant in Boston, he was
successful, and honestly discharged in
full all the old debts from which tho law
had released him.
In Boston he exhibited a panorama
known as "Perham's Seven-Mile Mirror,"
and organized cheap excursions from
country towns into the city and back,
selling tho railroad tickets and tickets to
his show at the same time. These excur
sions became so popular that he devel
oped his system greatly, sold out his pan
orama and organized excursion tours to
New York, Washington, the White
Mountains and other places. Ho may
justly be called the father of the cheap
excursion s3-steni. He became interested
in the general project for a Pacific rail
road at an early day. In 1SG0 Perham
obtained from the Maine legislature a
charter for the People's Pacific Railroad
company, and organized the company in
Boston. This was the predecessor of the
Northern Pacific company. Porham's
plan was to have his company adopted by
congress as the ono to build the road to
San Francisco, and, failing in this, he
fell back upon the Northern route, of
which he became an ardent advocate af
ter the passage of the Union Pacific bill
in 18G2.
In 1SG4, after two serious efforts in
"Washington, Perham secured the passage
of a bill creating the Northern Pacific
companv.and naming him and his friends
of the People's company, with others,
the incorporators. This result was a tri
umph of perseverance, enthusiasm and
devoted personal exertion.
The company was organized in Boston,
in the fall of 18GI, end Perham was
chosen president. He had made the seri
ous mistake of inserting a provision in
the charter act prohibiting tho Is
sue of bonds. thinking that
this would popularize the scheme
that he could raise the hundred
millions of capital needed by subscrip
tions to tho stock. Ho believed that ono
million of the people could be persuaded
to take one share each.
This was the lame spot in his plan.
The subscriptions wore not forthcoming,
ho was involved in debts contracted to
obtain the passage of the charter, and
in December, 1865, ho was compelled to
turn over the franchiso to an organiza
tion of Now England capitalists and re
sign .the presidency. It was alleged
afterwards that the agreement with him
was not fully carried out. However this
may have been, the considerations ho
received for surrendering the control of
the lranchise was barely suthcient to dis
charge his debts.
Perham did not live to see the work of
building tho Northern Pacific begun. He
died in lbus, a poor man, dependent upon
his son for support. His last days were
embittered by tho reflection that he had
spent many years of his life in an enter
prise from which ho hod derived no bene
fits, although he knew it was destined to
make the fortunes of many who had
home no part in its early struggles.
As Ocegok Town Raided. Says the
Boise Slaleman : From a gentleman who
came up from Caldwell yesterday, we
learn that a telegram reached that place
stating that on Sunday afternoon a band
of men number not given took pos
session of tho town of Huntington on
Uurnt river, Uregon, the point of junc
tion of the O. S. L. and the O. R
& N. railways, and committed several
robberies of larco amounts of money.
Among the rost it is stated that Mr. J. F.

Huntington, wa3 robbed of U,OC0 in
money, checks and dratts. Tho pay

of seventy-five words wero promptly sent

and the confusion was too great to allow
more definite information to bo gained.

Flsowhere in a condensed telegram 13
given Villard's version of his reasons for
resigning. Perhaps the following from
a recent Now York Sun may not at this
juncture prove wholly uninteresting:
"The uneasv feelinc in "Wall street con
tinues to increase, and business grows
more and more dull. The averagt rdaily
transactions were again on tho decrease
last week, and although the general tone
of tho market looked steady, several
specialties were very roughlv handled.
T he YiUard stocks, the Union I'acific,nnd
the Northwestern were conspicuous
among them. The two last-named stocks
had special reasons for showinc a de
cline, and in the case of the Northwestern
at least the fall is only temporary. But
the Villard stocks merelv resumed their
natural downward course, which was
slackened for a moment bv the issue of
the new mortgage. Now that the bonds
are taken up by the creditors of that ill
fated concern, tho stock held by them up
till now must be sold, and last week's
drop in tho price will probably go on with
interesting velocity. There is noj
more chance of stoppinc the fall
in the Northern
Oregon
Transcontinental, and Oregon Naviga
tion stocks than there was ol stopping
Denver & Rio Grande in its "degringo-
lade from 114 a share to its present
price of .S21. Mr. Villard, tna leading
spirit of the N. P. securities, has no more
inducement now to sustain them than
Mr. oerisboffer. the leadiue snirit of
the D. R. G. securities had then. They
have both made all the money they could
possibly wid: to make, and nro now anx
ious onlv n!mnt wiishina i pr lin'uls nnrl

right, too. As long as a community al
lows this kind of business, they w.mld be

they had a cuance. Thev have not rxc-
petrated any new iniquity. They simply
improved upon tho modus operandi estab-
usueu uy repareu American citizens long
before these two gentlemen were known
anywhere outside of their native villages.
Messrs. Gould, Fisk, Commodore Yander
bilt, T. Scott, Commodore Garrison and
Daniel Drew were tho American classics
which the two gifted German students
have tried to assimilate and imitate.
They have succeeded better than any body
could have anticipated. But there is
nothing surprising m it to any one who
knows the profundity of the German
mind.'
The Sample Copy Fieml.
Recently it seems to us as though a
large number of people throughout this
country have nothing to do but to write
postal cards to newspaper publishers, ask
ing for a sample copy of their paper.
This is a new and growing industry. Bill
Nye expresses the sentiments of a good
many long suffering men where ho Hays:
It costs only one cent to get a samplo copy,
and at that rate the average bore of this
denomination expects to got a $J weekly
one year for 23 cents. Of course t he sam
ple copy free lunch fiend has to write
each week and sign a different name, but
that don t injure his feelings any. He
has nothing else to do, and it keep3 him
from ennui. Perhaps these people think
we are publishing a paper just to wear out
our young life; but that 13 where they
fall into a common error. "We are try
ing to acquire a competence, so that we
can carry a summer-cane with our mono
gram on it, and that is why we ask for
things sometimes when it seems unlady-
iiko anu eccentric.
The man who get3 literature bv spong
ing sample copies is generally a man
who obtains a precarious livelihood by
posing as an artist's model of a wild eye
snide. People who enclose stamps will
be waited upon just as soon as the mail
ing ongauo can eaten up a nttie; out
those who enclose a chunk of tally in a
