A San Francisoo special of the 4th
says : "An attempt made to reduce sal
aries on the steamer Columbia, on her
arrival here, was met with a successful
resistance. When the order reducing sal
aries was issued all the men whom it
affeoted left the vessel. As a suitable
crew was difficult to obtain at the reduced
rate of wages offered by the company,
the company preferred to retain the old
hands at old rates."
The following is found in the new pos

The biggest wild cat seen in these parts
for many a day was brought into The
Asiobiak office last night by John Kinney.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Kinney was get
ting out some spruce shakes on the other
side of the Main street cut, when he
caught sight of tho huge cat. He started
taixenk Duval's to get a gun, and the cat
followed him. He stopped. So did the
cat. He started again; the cat ditto. Fi
nally he managed to attract tho attention
of one of the neighbors, and with a prof
fered gun killed tho ferocious beast. He
measured nearly four feet in length and
was f at; having dined daily on Mr. Du
val's chickens.
It can never be too strongly impressed
upon public attention that mere 'cram"
is not instruction, and that, after all, it
is what a child does for and by himself,
under a competent teacher, that really
forms his education. The development
of one intellectual faculty that, namely,
of memory is by no means the highest
part of school training. A whole string
of names, for example, may bo repeated
in geography, and yet the scholar know
nothing of the people, tho products of
the country, the local surroundings, or
the commercial trade routes, the last
quite a f acinating study to boys, if prop
erly taught. No end of dates in history,
again, maybe given from recollection,
and yet the child know next to nothing
about the men and tho events to which
they refer. There is scarcely a drearier
work in this world than for a boy or girl
to be compelled to get up columns or
Sages of fine-spun "logical analyses" un
er the name of grammar, all the while
practical work in the form of sentence
writing or composition being relegated
to a subordinate place. The tru6 way to
learn botany is from flowers, not from
books; and the right way to teach read
ing is to deal with ideas rather than
with words.

Elijah Millican, of Lafayette, died on
Saturday, August IJOth, aged eighty-two
years. Mr. Milican was one of tho old
est of the old pioneers, having come to
this coast in 1813, at which time he
brought the first wagon that ever crossed
the plains to Oregon. In 1844 he settled
on what is known as tho "Melicau place,"
just west of Lafayette, and has owned it
ever since. Ho leaves a largo number of
descendants, running down to great
grand children. His remains were buried
in the Masonic cemetery at Lafayette.
Alvey Billings, a farmer residing near
Amity, Yamhill county was instantly
killed on Wednesday a f ternoou. He had
started for the warehouse with a load of
wheat, when his team, from some un
known cause, ran nway, throwing him off,
and his skull was crushed by one of tho
wheels. His wifo saw tho team running
without a driver, and went to where her
husband lay, and found a sack of wheat
lying on his head, which she removed,
and saw that he was dead. She was
obliged to go a half mile for assistance.
Mr. Billings was twenty-three years of
age, and had been married about a year.
Nothing has been heard from or seen
of W. D. Pittengor, the defaulting ex
county treasurer of Washington county,
who absconded from Hillaboro last week.
For some reason tho authorities seem to
be making little effort to capture the de
faulter. The total defalcation to the
county and state reached 22,000. His
total liabilities are roughly estimated at
00,000; nominal assets, 40,000; actual
assets, 25,000. Some people advance
the theory that ho is hiding in the imme
diate vicinity. Others that ho has de
stroyed himself. Several of Pittinger's
friends have been financially ruined by
his defalcation. The public feeling is
very bitter against him.
The construction department of tho
Northern Pacific, which has been work

ment on the 10th inst. Tho superin
tendent of construction has also
received order to resume tho filling
of Couch lake as toon as possible,
and to dump into that vast holo from
sixty to eighty car-loads of dirt every
day for tho next three weeks. After that
the construction force will be put to
work on the Cascade branch. Contractor
Blagen also began work yesterday on the
new Northern Pacific passenger depot on
tho corner of Front and G streets. It
will bo a temporary structure 30xG0 feet,
and cost only about 2,000 or 3,000. It
will bo used until such time as the pro
posed great union depot is built. Mr.
Blagan also has contracts to build a sta
tion house and depot at Columbia City,
and several tanks and other improve
ments along tholine of the Kalama

SALH05 FISHI50 AT SESTUCCi.
The bay is fairly alive with wealth just
now. "There's millions in it." Salmon
are running lively. Five crews of fisher
men are plying their nets and seines
nightly among tho finny host, and every
day or so witnesses tho departure of a
wagon load en route to tho Willamette
valley. These fish are pronounced to be
the veritable Chinook salmon, and
whether they are or not they certainly
cannot bo any derogation to that name.
Great, fat fellows, weighing from 25 to 50
pounds, are brought to shore daily, and
still thcro seems to be no diminution of
their numbers. In this interest I met on
the Big Nestuc, a day or two since, a Mr.
Jones, who informed me that in company
with three others, he had put up a drying
establishment at Sheridan, employing a
newly-discovered process which he repre
sented as greatly superior and from
which he anticipated abundant success.
I judge this will create a demand for all
the surplus salmon tho fishermen here
can supply, should the Sheridan company
realize in their enterprise all they now
havo reason to hope for. Mr. Upton, of
this place, is also prepared to cure sever
al tons of salmon a year, which he does
by salting la barrels at times, ana wuen
more convenient, by smoking in a large
smoke house, with a capacity of curing
2.030 fish at a time. Add to thesa the
number of salmon consumed by others
in this section, and those shipped to
Portland and valley markets, and we be
gin to discover that the salmon interests
of Nestucca is one of no mean propor
tions, unpretentious tuougn at present n
may nppear. This situation will hardly
remain long so, however. Already the
big fishermen of tho upper coast are
casting their eyes this way. Cleveland
purchased a cannery site on this bay
some time ngo,andLeinenweberfollowea
suit. Both aro Columbia river men,nnd
undoubtedly will carry out their projects
at no distant day. Nestucca Corr. Yam-

Kaitera Waijes "ot Sfttltfietorj-.
Tho direotors of tho Oregon Kailway
and Navigation Company, by tho action
taken in the meeting recently held in
New York, have not gained the particu
lar friendship of the Pacific Coast. Tho
first move made hero was to notify all
of tho company's employes in this city
and those aboard tho steamers that a re
duction of from 10 to noarly 50 per cent
would be made. This had no sooner
been given than thero were threats of a
strike. Those on board the steamer Cal
ifornia made fuss enough to induce tho
incorporation to continue tho former
rates. The reduction applies also to the
steamer Columbia, and it is rumored
that all hands will quit to-day if tho rule
is carried out. Tho Easterners think
wages should bo tho same on the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts, and as an instance
of tho rate of reduction may be men
tioned tho fact of Captain Bolles of the
Columbia having tho privilege of accept
ing 175 a month in lieu of tho 250 ho
formerly received. The men on tho
Oceanic dock yesterday notified the com
pany that tho old rates had to be main
tained or they would leave, and it is
rumored that all but ono of the employes
(cashier Smith) have quit. How the
matter will terminate is as yet a matter
of conjecture, but tho radioal step taken
by tho Eastern board of directors cer
tainly causes great dissatisfaction on
this coast. The hardship is felt more
keenly by the waiters, who for their la
bor will now receive but 22.50. .S. F.

'Must I really go, sweetheart ?"
"Yes," replied Lillian McGuire, placing
her shapely white hand in his, and look
ing into his face with a tender earnest
ness that showed the true womanliness
of her nature: "it is better,"lar better for
both of us, that we should part forever,"
but as she spoko tho hot tears of pain
welled up into thoso beautiful brown eyes
thoso eyes that had witched with their
bright glances and dreamy tenderness so
many men and with a little sob of pain
Lillian's head was bowed upon George
W. Simpson's shoulders in an ecstacy of
grief.
"Couldn't you put a ten-vear limit nn
your bill ,darlingr'asTed the young man,
bending gently over tho little head that
was pillowed so trustingly just under his
loft ear; "1 certainly ought to have as
good a chance as a Chinamon."
A low moan of pam and a convulsive
shake of the little head was the only re
sponse.
But George was not to be denied so
easily.
"Can I not havo one hope?" ho said.
"One little nickel-plated, ten-cent hope?"
Lillian lifted her head and looked at
him steadily.
"Perhaps," she said, in cold, Baffin's
Bay tones, "You would drop if a house
fell on you, but I begin to doubt it.
Know, then, since you will havo it, that
under no circumstances can I ever accept
your proffered love, for I am a packer's
daughter, and packers' daughters come
high" this with a haughty oxpression
that lower-caso type cannot convev.
George W. Simpson saw at onco that
this proud bsauty had been raakiug a
plaything of his love. Tho revelation
was a terrible one, but ho bore it bravely.
"Very wcllr" he said, in husky, haven't-had-a-arink.in-two-hours
tones. "You
have stamped with the iron heel of scorn
upon the tender violet of my budding
love, but somo day, when your cliildren
little winsome brats with! sunny smiles
nnil nn nssortment of erHf tltnt. -wrill l-nn
you up iuico luuia every weeK aro
climbing upon your knee until you aro
in danger of becoming knee-sprung, you
will, perhaps, remember, with a tinge of
sadness in the recollection, of how you toy-
frJ with tlifi Invft of n. Inv.nl tmollnrt
Cook-County heart, and threw forever
over a young uuu uappy mo tno black
pall of a disappointed hope and crushed
ambition. I have seen tho roses of my
love wither and waste away until they
lie shriveled and blighted by tho dusty
roadside of life, and you can bet that I
feel pretty tough about it. I havo seen
my beautiful and stately ship of Hope,
with its tall, shapely masts and towering
wing3 of snowy canvas, that sailed
nway so buoyantly and bravely ovor the
shimmering sea not many months ago
come back to mo a shapeless wreck the
tapering spars that were so white and
clean now jagged and broken, and to
them clinging the dark seaweeds, while
of tho sails that rivaled tho clouds in
fleecy purity there remain only blackened
shreds that flap dismally in the moaning
wind, whose voice seems to sound the re
quiem and dirge of my dead and buried
love. I have got the boss wreck and don't
you forget it."
Lillian looked at him steadily for a mo
ment. "Do you mean those words you hive
spoken, George?" she asked.
"You can bet your life I do," he nn
swered in low, passionato tones.
"And, do you really lovo mo so dearly?"
"Well I should gasp," was the reply, a
pearly tear glistening in George's off
eye.
"Then," said Lillian, twining her arms
about his neck, "I will roost on your knee
next Tuesday evening, as usual. Pa would
never forgive mo if I let a man who can
talk like that go out of the family."

A notico was posted on the inside of

stood in front of the place telling the
boys somo of his troubles.

"What's the baseb?ll drink?"
"Why, two fellers come in and ono of
them says ho will take whiskey and tho
other says he don't feel like drinking,
and won't have any. Then No. 1 pours
out enough whiskey to drown himself in,
drinks half of it, gasps, and says 'By
thunder! thats tho best liquor I ever
drank. It's immense. Taste of it, 'Jim.'
Then tho other feller tosses off the rest
of it, a good enough drink for anybody,
and in that way they get two drinks for
a bit. I've smashed a good many fellers
for doing that but I took legal advice,
and Fvo found that tho baseball drink is
according to law, and that we can't
kick."
"Why do you call it a baseball drink?"
"Didn't you ever hear that before? Be
