At a late meeting of tho Portland board of trade, a letter was read from Senator Dolph in reference to an appli cation to have a new lighthouse erected in the Twelfth instead of tho Thirteenth district. A communication was also read from tho lighthouse commissioner prom ising its consideration. Letters read from Senutor Dolph in reference to the establishing of a salmon hatchery on tho Columbia or its tributaries; and request ing information with regard to such, and seeking information as to eastern clams found in Shoalwator bay, and also of the deep sea fisheries. It was also stated that a report had beou recoived through the national fish commission of an offi cial investigation made by Prof. L. Stone, as to the fitness of the Columbia river and its tributaries for salmon hatch erics. A Captain Pearsall of Norwood, L. I., died recently under the following pecu liar circumstances: Ho owned a hand some and very intelligent Newfoundland dog, and one morning missing him from his usual haunts, Captain Pearsall went in search of the animal. He found the dog in tho woods, dead, with a bullet hole through its heart. Tho old gentle mau returned home broken-hearted. lpon reaching tho house his wife asked him if ho had found the dog. 'Yes," hereplied, "Fve found him, and the poor thing is dead,' and with the words upon his lip? he fell dead in the hallway. Coroner Croniu held an inquest and found that "deceased camo to his death from heart disease, suporinduced by grief at the loss of his favorite dog." Tho mortality of affection is still largely to tho credit of tho dog race, however, the above circumstance being, p2rhop3, unique. IMYACO IIKAIt!) VIHIM. Ilwaco. Jan. 13th, 1835. Editou Astebian: I eeo lots in Thk Astokiax regarding the Clatsop road. "Astorian takes a good view at one side of tho picture speaking of the Portland summer vis itors who go to Ilwaco. etc, says "if tho Clatsop road was built they vrould stay in Astoria."

Before inviting Port land to stop at Astoria, build hotels. As toria claims superiority over Portland as a seaport; that is all right. But when tho people go tho coast to rusticate, it is hardly to bo supposed that they will stop at a "fishing town." Astoria is no sum mer resort and never will be. Let Asto ria bo the seaport and Ilwaco will bo the "summer port." "Live and let live," don't take it all. I should never made any reply had not Ilwaco's name been mentioned. Itesf ostfullv yours, F.

The figures for 1884 show a notable increase, Upward of 4,000 car loads, or SO.OOO head of cattle. were sent east from Montana and west ern Dakota, as against some 1,800 car loads, or Jo.uou bead, in tho season of 18S3. The west bound business has also had a surprising development. Tho pre cise number of cattle sent to tho grazing fields of western Dakota and Montana this year is given as 92,819. These, ot course, were mostly young cattle not full grown, and they will go back in a season or two, largo and fat for sacrifice. In 18S3 no less than 20,000 of these young cattle went west to grow up with the coun try. Oleics. For a Neat Fitting; Boot Jr Shoe, go to P. J. Goodmans, on Che uamus street, next door to I. W. Case.

The following was not roceived at this office till yesterday: SKXATE. Salem, Or., Jan. 12. Tho senate or ganized temporarily at 1 o'clook by elect ing "William Waldo president pro tem., and J. W. Strange secretary. After con siderable discussion oup point of order the senate adjourned until 7 o'clock. Tho senate met at 7 o'clock this evening and perfected its organization by electing tho following officers: President, "William Waldo of Marion; chief clerk, J. "W. Strange of Douglas; assistant clork, F. A. Cook of Yamhill; sergeant-at-arms, J. S. Pnrdom of Multnomah; doorkeeper, A. M. Brown of Marion; pages, Clarence Smith and Eddie Crawford. A commit tee was appointed to arrange standing committees of the senate. Newspaper reporters were invited within the bar of the senate, and the sergeant-at-arms in structed to furnish them stationery and desks. Ministers of the city were invited to open the sessions with prayer. Ad journed. HOUSK. The house met at 2:30, and commenced balloting for officers. Keady was elected speaker on the second ballot, receiving nearly the unanimous support of the Democrats. Gilbert received a majority of itepublican votes. They were a tie on the first ballot, tho Democrats voting for Montanye. When the latter began changing to Keadj', soveral Republi cans changed from Keady to Gilbert. For clerk of the house, Col. Howlett had no opposition. J. T. Gregg was elected assistant clerk, and John C. Booth sor gent at arms. Pending tho election of door .keeper tho houso adjourned till morning. Considerable feeling is mani fested over tho organization of the house. Republicans of the "Old Guard" think the Democrats stole tho march on them in designating the speaker. The result is regarded as foreshadowing a long con test for United States senutor. Speaker Keady, howevert disclaims any combina tion, and promises equal justice to all. Multnomah delegates are predicting slim representation oir committees. Their fears may be unfounded. Three Itepub lican senators are charged with listening too intently to Democratic suggestions and promises. The governor's message is promised to-morrow. Tho failure of the house to complete its organization to-day will postpone tho first ballot for United States senator for two weeks. Nobody seems to understand tho failure, and it causes considerable comment aud suspicion of design. Tho senatorial ba rometer indicates a storm. MY 4IKAR 1VIKK LETTKKS. How Wily Attorney Tjlcr Dupcl Latajer Barnes. San Fuancisco, Jan. 12. The Sharon case took a most unexpected turn to-day. In the course of proceedings W. H. L. Barnes, counsel for Sharon, read what purported to be a contract betweon Judge Tyler, counsel for Sarah Althea Sharon, and Mr. Gnmpel, who testified as an ex pert as to the genuineness of Sharon's signature to a number of exhibits, to the effect that if Gnmpel would swear that all tho "My Dear Wife" letterc were genuine the latter would pay him 25,000 if plaintiff won her case. Attorney Barnes was then put on tho stand, but declined to testify how he obtained pos session of the alleged contract, holding it as a privileged communication, in which position he was sustained by the court. Tylor then took the stand and testified that tho supposed contract was a prearranged job put up by him on Barnes. That ho had become satisfied that the evidence was being purchased, and he therefore desired to find out by whom this was being done. That ho wrote tho contract himself, signed his own name and that of M. Gumpei, under the instruction of the latter gentleman; ho then placed the document in his desk, and instructed his confidential clerk, Mr. McLaughlin, to approach Barnes and De tective Lees with an offer to steal the document for them. That Lees and Barnes took bait, and after some dicker ing paid McLaughlin 23,000 in cash for the document. Barnes admitted that ho paid tho money and had been completely fooled in the affair, but claimed that he was fully justified in his course. Tho ex pose has created a great sensation.

''Say, you feller, I ain't no kicker," said an old sailor to a reporter as they met. but I'm blowed if you ever catch mo aboard of one of these bore steamships again. What's the matter? "Well, there's matter enough. I've beau to sea man and boy for the last twenty-fivo years and I've sailed in everv kind of craft that floats in the water, from a tigar drogher to a China tea clipper, and now I've tried these bloomin' toa-keltles.! ain't no hog and I know when I've got enough. How did I come to go in ono of om? 111 te'l you how, aud I'll tell you how I fared. 'I'm getting old now, and tired knock ing round the world in wind jammers. So I thought I'd take iu one of these steamers as a kind of ret. I made one v'yage, and I've got enough of that kind of rest to last me the balance of my life, and don't you forgot it. I'll just give you an idea of what jou have to do. In the first place, they don't stand watch and watch at all. It's all day on and all night off at least that's what they tell yon but mostly it's all day and all night on. You turn to at -I o'clock in the morn ing and wash down tho decks. We car ried about 400 steerage passeugors, and I tell you for the first two or three days out it was sickening tho way them poor fellows carried on. Well, we'd get washed down about 3 o'clock, and then we knock off for coffee. Y'ed have a pannikin of coffee and two or threo ship biscuits. At half past 3 we are turned to again and threo days in tho wcok holy stone the decks. What is holystoning A holystone is a heavy stone with a han dle to it, that you drag up and down the deck to make it white. Thero aro two kinds. One with a regular wood handle, or long ropes on both sides that two men haul backward and forwards. That kind is called a biblo. because you can stand up to it. The other kind is a heavy stone with a becket on it that you kneel down and work by yonrsolf. They will that a prayer-book. 'After we get through holystoniu' we are knocked off for breakfast. There's no use talkin'; they do feed you well ? board them hookers. For breakfast wo had fresh meat and salt meat. Y'ou could tako your choice. Then there was all tho murphys that you could eat. "Why, murphys arc white potatoes. "We had soft tommy and hard tack, and but ter and coffee. Oh, thero was no dis count on tho grub. But they have tho worst lot of sailors I over fell against. Dutchmen, Italians, dagees, and every thing else but Americans. We carried twelve men and two boys before the mast, and there was only one Araorican besides me, and he was a nigger. They wero the dirtiest lot I ever fell in with. After breakfast wo were turned to and set to work at scrubbing paint-work and polishing brass work. Of all the unholy jobs lover struck that's the worst. "Why, you get the soapy water iu your eyes, and your hands get as white and soft a3 a washerwoman's. "Why, just look at my hands," and tho old salt stuck out a fist about the color of a well-cured ham. and as hard as a piece of solo leather. After receiving tho condolence of tho reporter, ho centinued: "Well, that sort of business kept up till half past 3 in the afternoon, except when we were eat ing dinner At half past 3 we was knock ed off for sunper, and after that wo had to lay aft and take in the awnings on the quarterdeck. You'd think that was emough work for one day, wouldn't you? But it ain't, for every man Jack has to stand his hour's lookout at night. We was bound for Aspinwall, and of all the hot places I evor was in, the fokscll of that hooker was tho hottest. It was on the saloon deck, chocka-block3 forrard, iwid as dark as Egypt. There was steam pipes running through it to heat it iu cold weather. I guess. Half tho time tho bloomin' thing was out of fix, and we'd have a full head of steam on when the thermometer was 120 degrees on deck. You can guess what it felt like. Wo had to sleep in the bloomin' place, be-unse the spar deck was full of passengers. Then in most of tho ports where wo'd stop the men would havo to stow cargo. Did yon ever handle green hides when the thermometer was way above a hnndred? No. Well you'd never want to do t but once. No, sir, as I said before, I ain't no hog, and wind jamming is plenty good enough for me.' And tho old sailor walked slowly down to a shipping office, breathing out nauti cal curses against steamships in general, and the one on which he sailed in par ticular. For Sale.
