The officers and crew of the steamship Idaho, on the Alaska route, are said to ue paid better salaries than any other in the world. This says the Seattle Chron icle, is for the reason that the navigation of the waters of the route requires unus ual skill and care. The latest from the Tillamook mines is that an essay shows "1,400 pounds of lead and 1,511 pounds of silver to the ton." Two thousand nine hundred and forty-one pounds of metal out of 2,000 Sounds of rock isn't bad. It is a good eal like putting eight gallons of mo lasses into a five gallon keg. The Beda put off mo3t of her freight yesterday and started inland. She had a lot of salmon boxes sent up to the Eureka Packiug company from San Francisco. It looks funny to see salmon boxes "im ported" from California into this wooden country where salmon boxes are turned out at a rate and of a quality that would seem to make imported boxes un necessary. The Oregon went out yesterday morn ing without mail or express matter from here, to the inconvenience of business men generally. There is some excuse, however for the vessel, she being natur ally desirous to get away on an ebb tide, itliaving been high water at seven min utes past five. The Oregon averages Eretty well and she being so much be ind tiire coming in made it necessary for her to rush out half dressed as it were.

There being some inquiry regarding the item in yesterday's Astosun about the probable formation of a military company in this city, the following com piled from tho Oregon statutes, is pub lished in answer therete: "Whenever a sufficient number of per sons subject to military duty subscribe to a call for the organization of a volun teer militia company, step3 may be tak en to complete the organization; the company elects its officers and is fur nished arms and accoutrements required. The county furnishes an armory and the state pays fifty dollars a month for rent, etc. The uniform is similar to U. S. army uniform, but any militia company can have an additional uniform that suits the members. The recent visit of Captain George J. Ainsworth, of San Francisco, to this city has created considerable interest among steamboat men. Some think his visit was to revive the old Oregon Steamship company and to equip a fleet of new boats to navigate the Columbia and "Wil lamette rivers and their tributaries. Times were good when steamboat navi gation was at its bight and. many long for their return. Portland News, 5. Buclilcn's Arnlcu SaiTc.

But not for ten cents no sir. A genu ine Havana, one that is unquestionably composed entirely of that delightfully fragrant tobacco, cannot bo profitably sold under twenty-flvo cents at retau. "But," said tho astonished reporter, "how do yon reconcile that statement with this one?' and tho scribe pointed to a sign over tho dealer's head, which informed the public that three genuine Havana cigars could bo purchased at the counter for a quarter. "Well!', said the dealer, winking his larboard eye confidentialy. "I can sell you three of those cigars. Try one." The newspaper man selected from an elaborately lithographed box, in colors, a narrow-pointed cigar from a bundle done up in tin-foil and labled "Regalia Concha Fina." The flavor of tho cigar was de cidedly 'Havana. Upon its dark-brown surface a number of tiny specks of lighter shade showed its rare quality, and its silken smoothness of wrapper in dicated elaborateness of workmanship. "Fjne cigar, ain't it?' queried the dealer. "But it ain't Havana, except to the general public, who can't tell a Ha vana cigar from a lamp post, xou smiie, but it's so. Doesn't that cigar dry your throat? I thought so. That's on un failing sign that the cigar is flavored with chemicals. You also notice that the smoke burns tho tongue a trifle this will increase as you pull on tho cigar, and when it is almost smoked out your tongue may havo a slight blister upon it; probably not if you smoked one or two, but if you habitually smoko them this would surely be the result. This is the action of tho flavoring extract used upon the tender skin of tho lips and the fibers of the tongue. . Fll venture to say that there are more cases of bronchitis and cancer of tho tongue arising out of tho use of flavored cigars than from any other cause." A general inquiry among the trado con firmed the dealer's startling assertions. Few smokers can tell a genuine Havana cigar from a flavored one, and nono of them except men of moneYi are willing to pay more than ten to twenty-five cents for a cigar. Upon these two latter facts an enormous trado in flavored cigars has 8prungup. Many eastern drag hoascs now put ud a Havana flavoring extract of Tonka (vanilla) bean, bay rum and other substances, which is largely sold to the cigar manufacturers all over tho country. So keou is tho competition among tho drug trado for this class of patronage that free samples are sent by tho dozen to every new manufacturer with circulars claiming this or that excel lency for the compound. Tho process of manufacturing a bogas Havana cigar is as follews: The manufacturer, having secured the necessary flavoring extract, takes his domestic tobacco aud begins with the filler. Sometimes a thin strip of the genuine Havana leaf is rolled np and placed in the center of the cigar, but only in A 1 brands. Generally the entire maES used for filling is steejed in the extract or sprinkled with it. Next comes in tho wrapper this goes through the same process. When tho cigar is wrapped and before it dries, a thin solu tion of cither muriatic or nitric acid is carefully sprinkled over it with n fine brush thus bringing out by bleaching the pretty light brown specks which the con fiding smoker fondly believes to be a sign of good tobacco. Tho alleged Hav ana 'cigar next passes into tho hands of a girl, who has spread out before her on a stone a composition of brown paint and oil. Over this tho cigar is carefully rolled, and -the product of these various processes is a well-finished, fragrant cigar, with a dark, oily wrapper, whose beaaiifully speckled surface would de ceive the" eye of an expert smoker. Packed in tin foil and laid in a fragrant cedar box, elaborately adorned with a colored lithograph 01 voluptuous sug gestivenees, and tho cigar can bo sold over any counter in the United States for a uime. aomeumes mo uox i;seu as sponged with or steeped in the flavoring extract, but this is only done to cheap brands that lack even a suggestion of Havana fragrance.
