'The Standard reports that there are about fifteen hundred railroad laborers out of employment in Albina and East Portland. Grain appears to.be a little scarce at present, says the News, judging from the way a couple of vessels, which have been chartered and aro partly loaded, are kept waiting. The lights and shades in this little life of ours were strikingly exemplified on the Fleetwood yesterday morning. On the little steamer bound for Portland were the Nellie Boyd Theatrical company with allf the paraphernalia of their merry art, and tho funeral cortege on their way to pay the last sad tribute of humanity to the dead. The funeral of the late John Hume took place yesterday morning, the Fleet wood leaving with some forty friends of the deceased, at six o'clock. Upon ar riving at Portland yesterday afternoon carriages were in waiting and the body was conveyed to Lone Fir cemetery, where Mrs. AVeatherbee, a sister of the deceased, is buried. Ohabqe Not Sustained. The follow ing report has been made by the board of pilot commissioners as the result of their investigation into the collision between the Ladstock and the OalnoortJi here a short time age: "We find from the evi dence that tho collision occurred from a n)isunderstanding of the pilot's order to the mate injregard to the range of chain. "We find no evidence of incompetency, but think the pilot committed an error of judgment in not assisting the vessel by the mizzen in rounding to, and that the charges preferred by Captain It. "Wil Jffiois against bar pilot Charles Richard son are not sustained." "Attes Mast Dats. A little over two years ago the British iron bark Lumjncr law, loaded with 1125 tons of coal, went ashore at a point a little north of Shoal water bay. For two years she has wrestled "with the stormy elements, until finally a small sand bar has made out &nd shelters tho vessel so that she now Ues. in smooth water. Having become buried in sand until her rail only is visi bU, she is in a perfect state of preserv ation. It is stated upon what is con sidered good authority, that her owners Martin Ford, A. W. Berry and others will endeavor to raise her the coming season. It is estimated that enough coal can be obtained from the vessel to more than repay for tho outlay in raising her. Journal. .The "Local Hit" Max. The -'local fcjt" man of the minstrel show is a great humorist. He has no education and could not couple two sentences of Eng lish to save his life, but he is the man to plunge an audience into a roar of laugh ter. All that is required to accomplish this feat is to mention the name of some nan,'who lives in the town, some very fat or' extremely lean fellow. This is pure wit, and persons who could not find a flint of humor in the entire range of Inglish literature, yell and swell up and explode, and look around to see if they can single out the crushed victim. When he'ia found they nod and grin at k. ana a rough fellow sitting near him slap3 him on the back, and exclaims: ."He got you that time er haw, haw ho put it on." The Douglass Jerrold of the stage is called back, and -while he rakes the strings of a banjo, says: "Oh, j-as, got de bes lookin' gal in town. Oh, she's awful fine. Got a foot like Col. Jaglin's' Another roar. Col. Jaglin's face grows aB red as a terrapin's eye, and he trios to lfepch. Hi friends slap him, and the fools in front of him turn around, stare impertinently and explode. Ten dollars d'-week iff not a salary commensurate with, the accomplishments' of the local bit mm, and the manager should better xkward him. In fact, he should kill him. ''v Twelfth Annual Convention, The twelfth annual convention of the Oregon State Woman Suffrage Associa tion will be held in Portland on Tnesday and Wednesday, February 12th and 13th, I&l, at Turn Halle. , Woman Suffrage Associations, equal rights clubs, and societies in sympathy . with the suffrage movement, of what ever Jname or order, aro earnestly re quested to send delegates. "The usual reduction of 40 per cent in fares will be made to visiting delegates by the various transportation companies, and entertainment will be provided for allAvhO'come from without the city. Thir convention will be by far tho xofosi, important ever held by the associa tion. Upon it will devolve the work of preparing plans for a vigorous campaign in support of the pending constitutional Amendment. Arrangements must be made to present the justice of the amend ment, fairly to the electors, that they 9$ay know the whole truth about the pur poses of women who seek recogni tion of their rights of citizenship; who Ijold with our revolutionary fathers that representation and taxation should go together arifffchaf every citizen of a coun 4mri satitled to a vote in its-affairs; who rjpejK.WifrUb-Mj a voice in mu iuwh .vjftftmg- themselves, their children and $heir homes; who claim that, as woman's part in the world is folly as important as man's, she should hav$ equal opportuni ties with him to do her best, and" receive equal jay for. equal work; -arid who sea that political rights are necessary to the tevjorsieat and protection of all other rights. Let the friends of equal suffrage come 'proaptly forward 'and make this conven tion a'memorable one, JjUax . Cokss, H. A. Locohast, i Sewttary, President. THE SALMON SEASON OF 'SI. Notes Concerning Astoria's try. Chief Indus Already tho laden trucks are going from the docks to the canneries with twine, tin, salt, etc., for next season's op erations. In the several canneries boats are being put in shape, stock overhauled and inventoried, though there is not as much active preparation manifest as at this time one year ago. But few new boats are building so far, the tendency being to economizes in this as in other reBpects. An effort is being made to secure co operation among cannerymen looking to running a lesser number of boats this season than last, end n reduction in the price paid for fish. Another such season as the last one would break uj every salmon canner on the Columbia, and that some co-operation of the kind is necessary is evident. It is irgued that a fair understanding between the different canneries would result in scaling the number of boats put in tho water td a number 25 per cent below that of last season; it is also said that at a lower price than what was paid in '8:1 the- fish ermen would make a great deal more. Though seventy, eighty and ninety cents, and even one dollar a salmon was piia last year, yet the men that caught the fish didn't average as well as in former years, as tho high prico naturally pent hundreds mors into the business. The idea seems to take tho shupo of a proposed agreement among the thirtj nine salmon canneries oil the Columbia that thc3 employ a commissioner, ho to visit each cannery and ascertain and see the number of boats (outside and can nery) under the cannery's control; to re ceive one-half of such boats paying a rental ot say ono dollar each lor them for tho season, and store them in some safe, suitablo place, and to ascertain also tho number of traps and seines. It is iurther suggested that tho commis sioner issue to each cannery a license to run one-half the number cf boats, seines, traps; the canneries tnagrea to receive no fish other than caught by licensed boats, except such as the commissioner should distribute from the unlicensed traps and seines, and from them the fish to bo distributed pro rata among the can neries. Canneries to pay the expense of the commissioner in proportion to the number of boats run. The days of making a big profit in one season in the salmon canning business on the Columbia have gone by. The same rules now apply to it that apply to any other legitimate business intelligently and successfully managed. It would ap pear essential to the common prosper that a mutual understanding 02 reacheu and a uniform "basis of action agreed upon. The completion of the Northern Pa cific railroad has been a good thing foi our cannery men. It renders them en tirely independent of possible competi tion from California. Heretofore, salmon shipped overland from the Columbia hau to go by steamer to San Francisco, there to be rehandled and reshipped eastward. The Sacramento canner had the advan tage of being so much nearer the eastern market, an advantage that now disap pears. In future the eastern purchase can have any quantity from 50 to 500o cases dropped at his door, and the bene ficial effect upon the Mississippi vallej trade will doubtless be felt in the sales of the coming season. There aro now en route two cargoes of salmon for the eastern market by way of Cape Horn, the C. S. Hulbert, the pioneer in that business, and the Geo. S. Homer. This manner of shipment has its advan tages. It is an object at times to the salmon shipper to have his produce in the hold of a vessel in slow transit to market rather than be paying insurance and storage at the point of production. Then, too, the rate of car nage is far below the price at which the railroad company can possibly afford to take such freiglit. Tho probabilities in relation to the coming trade with the east are that the Atlantic coast cities will be supplied by sailing vessels, while all points west of Chicago will draw their orders via N. P. It. R. The idea of starting "Tho Pacific Can Factory" which was talked of some months ago does not seem to amount to anything. In one sense it would be a benefit. Should (as happened last July) a big run of salmon come in the river the cannerymen could order a supply of cans and devote their whole force to the pack ing of the fish. Last year the complaint was at the close of the season "I can't dispDse of the fish that the boats offer, for I have no cans." Tho establishment of a can factory would obviate that trou ble. On tho other hand the objection to the enterprise may be stated as follews: Cannerymen are compelled to contract for their Chinese labor in advance. They cannot depend on picking tip as maii3' men as they work for two or Hire months, but must have them for a longer period, nrfd consequently must have something for them to do while waitinc for the run to begin. The making of cans has heretofor utilized this otherwise un profitable time, and the probability iB that tho present order of things will con tinue. Circuit Court Proceedings. In the circuit court yesterday Robert Johnson was naturalized. In the case of Parker vs. Twombly a verdict for de fendant was rendered.

TIIK DABK AND DEADLT DETIL FISII. The Dreaded Octopus of the Alaskan Coast. Blanket fishes, devil fishes and octopi abound in Pacific Coast waters. They are by no means pleasant customers for a bather in salt sea foam to encounter. The shark is a Christian gentleman com pared with a blood-sucking octopus. Many a venturesome sailor has been pulled down into Davy Jones' locker by one of these hideous and shareless monsters. The blood runs cold to even imagine tho incidents and sensations of such a fate. A man traveling on the river boat a few days ago was interro gated concerning a very singular look ing charm, which dangled from hia watch-chain. It was a curious oval ob ject, in which a compass was set. It formed a bowl about two inches in diam eter, and was of a substance resembling fish scales, but of a rich opal hue. Tne edges were serraled. "If you didn't know what it was,"' remarked'the owner, "3'on'd never guess; but not to keep you in suspense, it's the sucker of an octopus that attacked me once. .If you remem ber, about four years ago there was a rumor to the effect that valuable pearl fisheries had been discovered on the Alaskan coast. It fooled a good many, and it caucht mo for one. I secured five .men, good divers, and got there to find that it was all a swindle. There wasn't a pearl within 2.0..0 miles, and to get my money back I went into the regular div ing business, and after raising sevoral vessels wo squared up and loft. It was during one or these trips that 1 got my charm. Wo generallv went down in pairs, but this day we wero working at a small smack that had sunk, and 1 took the first spsll down alone, to see what wysttio matter with her. Sho was lying in about fori feet of water, some of her running gear ailoat showum where she was. Wo anchored oar sloop to it, put out a mooring, and in a few moments I was going slowly down. I suppose you can't imagine the sensation, but I never saw a diver, young or old, that liked his busi ness. To feci that you are strapped to weights and going down to a depth where if a blow should cut your pipe you would be anchored for good isn't pleasant, to say tho least. In about five minutes I reached the deck, and as I wanted first t o find out what had hit her, I walked forward, swinging myself around tho shrouds and rop.s. 1 swung off and found that two of her p.anks had burst right out. I walked around her to the lee side, the bottom be ng . a hard, clean sand, and there I easily stepped aboard and walked toward the hatch. It was wide open, and as I stepped near it I saw something that t took for a rope hanging over the coam ings. Taking my boat hook I gave it a punch and it seemed to fall off into the datch. One of tho main halyards was hanging clear, and, taking it, 1 swung off ana lowered myself into tho hold. Down l went, my hook in one hand and the nalyard in the other, and vhen near tho oottom I let go. In a second I lauded on a soft, yielding mass that, bound as I was, -javo me a sickening sensation. It moved i'rom under me, and in a moment 1 seemed to be surrounded by the flying arms of some hideous creature. 1'hey clasped my legs, wound around my body, and fastened about my helmet, gradually drawing me down and horrifying me so that for a moment I was utterly power less. But at the first alarm I had given che signal to draw ma up, and having a large knife fastened at my waist, I at tacked the monster, cutting it everywhere that I could strike. In a moment the animal had lifted itself so that its body rested against my chest, and it seemed to be as large as a lkmr barrel, with legs ex tending out from it, like the legs of a spider. I hacked at it with the knife, my armor preventing it from biting or cutting me, and soon had tho satisfaction of cutting it fairly in two, so that it pirtly droppad off, and I tore tho remaining arms away, f was dragged to tho surface with part of it, however, clinging to me. 1 was about exhausted with the work and nervous prostration, and if they hadn't unscrewed my helmet immediately I should have droppad; but a few minutes in fresh air revived me, and in that time I closed my career as a diver. I don't think a million would have tempted mo to go down again." "And the charm?" "This charm, as I said, was one qt the suckers that lined the arms, and had so cut into the rubber part of my sloevo that it had been torn from the animal in the struggle, and as it was rich in color I kept it as a curiosity. When I reached tne surface the men hauled up half the octopus with a boat-hook. I toll you it was a fearful sight. The arms, when stretched out on opposite sides of the body measured exactly twenty-seven feet from tip to tip. On their under side wero these suckers, each one a shelly cap with a saw-like edge. When tho arm is wound about a fish or other animal, each of the suokers is pressed against the tlesh, the saw edge cutting and holding it firmly, whilo a piston-like arrange ment exhausts tho air, and thus 3-oa are held by hundreds of air-pumps, whilo the body of tho animal is drawn toward you and the mouth applied. The latter was between the arms. There wero no teeth proper, their place being taken by a pair of hard blacc bills that were al most fac similes of a parrot's bill ex cept that the lower jaw received tho upper. The tongue was armed with teeth for tho grinding up of prey. In San Francisco Chinese eat octopi, and the octopi, fisheries are quite important. In all tho fish markets they maybe found hanging up. They attain a length of fourteen feet, "Is yours an islolated case?" was asked: "By no means," was the reply. "Some years ago a Flathead Indian woman was bathing with a party of companions, who finalty left her in tho water alone All at once sho disappeared. A boat was' sent out and search made, and after a long time one of tho men saw the body at the bottom Ijing on some rocks, A man dived down, but came up, saying that an octopus had the woman, and so it proved. The monster had seized and pulled her down beforo sho could utter n cry. A long spear being secured, both the animal and its prey were brought to the surface together. The creature was almost as large as the ono that attacked me. "Tho largest authentic specimen from Alaska was seen by Mr. Dall of tho Smithsonian, It had a length of sixteen feet, and a radial spread of twenty-eight feet. The body was extremely small, however, in proportion. I believe they attain nearly the samo sizo in the Mediterranean sea." The Weaker Sex are immensely strengthened by the uc of Dr. R. V.
