The bark Lady Lampson sailed
from San Francisco for Sidney, Aus
tralia, on the 14th inst., with 8,000
cases Columbia river salmon on con
signment. The John T. Kerry has 21,000 cases
salmon aboard and 10,000 cases on
the dock ready for loading. The
British Army cleared for Queens
town yesterday.
A letter from a leading salmon re
tailer in New York says that salmon
which sold at twelve cents a can last,
spring in that city, now brings from
fifteen to eighteen cents.
The Columbia came in at nine yes
terday morning; the Oregon sailed
at eleven; she took out 100 cs. salmon
from the Astoria Packing Co., 230 sks
oysters and a large lot of grain.
The lunar eclipse came off accord
ing to programme last night:
and though somewhat obscured by
clouds the sight at midnight amply

It begins to look now as though an
extra session was not a question of
policy but a matter of necessity but
it's no wonder Gov. Moody shrinks
from calling together the mob that
howled in the state capital last win
ter. Several pilots left Portland yester
day, on a voyage of discovery. Tho
News says they are to "locate the
channels at Walker's island and Mar
tin's island." "Locate' is good.
They will probably be "located" by the
oulcroppings.
"What is a spinnaker?' has been
asked a good many times in the last
week by those who read the account
of the international yacht race and
the "spinnaker" of the Puritan.
Capt A.D. Wass is our authority for
the statement that a "spinnaker' is
what is usually termed the studding
sail.
Advice is cheap. Here is some.
Don't put a mortgage on your busi
ness. Don't pay your bills on the
31st when you agree to pay them on
the 10th. Don't lake advantage of
your customer and don't let him lake
advantage of you. Don't push a man
that has always paid promptly, if he
happens to run over a mouth. Don't
fool away time with a man who is in
different aud says, "Call again to
morrow." The board of trustees of the state
insane asylum advertise in the Salem
Statesman for sundry articles, for
the patients; among other things are
24 packs of playing cards, 1,000 bush

wire, six dozen lamp wicks, two bot
tles mucilage, 400 pounds chewing

A VERY SENSIBLE LETTER.
Sometime ago it was announced
that from the applicants for the posi
tion of West Point Cadet from this
state Congressman-elect Hermann
had chosen M. F. Davis, of Polk coun
ty. To the newly appointed cadet
Mr Hermann wrote the following
plain, sensible letter:
ItosEiu'BG, Or., Sept. 10, 1SS3.
To Milton F. Davis.
My Dear Sir: It affords me pleas
ure to announce that I have this day
nominated you for npxxiinimout as
cadet to the United Stales Military
academy at West Point from this
state. Yon are among twelve appli
cants all ambitions and worthy
young men of Oregon. That all
might have an equal chance to devel
op the fitnes3 sought for, and that an
impartial decision be obtained, I
waived personal preferences and sub
mitted these young men to a competi
tive examination. For this purpose I
chose a board of three distinguished
and learned gentlemen, consisting of
an eminent lawyer and ex-TJ. S. sena
tor, and once colonel in the army, an
honored physician and surgeon, and
a well known educator and principal
of one of the high schools of Portland
city. That partlzan bias should not
prevail these selections were not con
lined to any one of the political par
ties. You "were all subjected to a
conscientious and painstaking
examination, both mental aud
physical. The conditions of body and
mind, as well as general proficiency
in the deliberations of the board. The
result is now submitted lo me. Fonr
of the applicants greatly excelled all
the rest. Among these you are re
ported highest by 7 per cent of the
total credits. Physically you are
found equal to any. Some who com
peted have been more favo ed than
yourself in wealth aud social influ
ence, and have submitted to me evi
dences of their graduation from well
known schools and academies, in
cluding institutions of military
training in the cast. Zealous appeals
are made by friends and lending per
sons of distinguished influence, oc
cupyiug the highest stalious in our
stale on behalf of others who com
peted with you and who embrace
young men of culture, amiability, fine
physique, and some with ancestry
renowned in services for our Nation
on the battlefield :is well as in legis
lation and literature. Aside from
your own merit as disclosed on the
examination roll, I do not entirely
forget that what yon are is solely due
to your own unaided efforls. 1 am
reminded that you are a poor boy,
and that your father was an old sol
dior, having enlisted and fought in
the ranks as a private in the late
war for the supremacy of onr b
loved country, and was thrice severe
ly wounded. That while you were
still a mere child he died, leaving you
to care for and cherish your widowed
mother. This, I feel thankful to be
lieve you have done, and aro still do
incr. You have been to the family a
son and a little father alike. Labor
ing in odd days and hours in this fil
ial service you have managed to at
tend tho public schools of Polk coun
ty iu the winter months and I bus
trained your mind. Your neighbors
write me: "He has worked on the
farm during the summer, aud went to
school or studied at homo during the
winter, and has kept up with classes
having much better opportunities.'
With all these disadvantages and
struggles I find you now a student in
the slate university from where your
eminent president writes me the good
words that you are "an industrious
and faithful student, of good habits
and gentlemanly deportment' Added
to all these, 1 have testimonials ;iul
requests in your behalf from promi
nent citizens of Polk, Yamhill and
Marion counties, all certifying lo
your integrity, your energy and in
dustry. It is :; joyous privilege in
this country of republican govern
ment that even the poorest boy has
il within himself to mould and estab
lish a character of fulnrc greatness
and renown. Here the youth begins
with himself. No illustrious ancestry,
no proud pedigree can bring nearer
the iar readied goal, unless energy
true -worth and patience arc the
foundation aud the inspiration. The
log cabin and the frontier home have
been lo this Nation blessed nurseries
from whence has come forth our
noblest patriots, statesmen, soldiers
and martyrs.
Let not your humble origin and
apparent obstacles in life discourage
you. Have faith in the reward which
is conceded lo the elements of char
acter already developed by you. Con
tinue onward and have courage. In
conclusion, may I fondly hope thai
you willhonor the position to which
you are now nominated, and that you
will ever remain true lo your country
that is to educate you for her future
service aud defense, so that some
future year your name, now unknown,
may become a symbol of fame, a re
joicing to our friends and a credit to
the state of Oregon from whence you
hail. I am yours truly,
Pingei: Hermann, M. C.

lli-avy Wheat Shipments.
The Oregon Railway and Naviga
tion company are bringing down
about 1,500 tons of wheat daily from
eastern Oregon and Washington,
though they could deliver 2,000 tons
a day. But this amount would soon
create a blockade; hence it will be
brought down only as fast as it can
be gotten out of tho way. About
700 tons are landed daily at Ainsworlh
dock, and from there transferred by
teams to various other down town
wharves. The remaindor is stored in
the company's and Montgomery's
docks, Albina. The steamships carry
about 3,000 tons si week lo San Fran

A. Campaign Secret Given Away.
In the campaign of 1SS4, the two
candidates for governor in a "pivotal"
Western State arraigned for a series
of joint discussions. Both men were
popular, both of fine appearance,
and were so well matched in mental
force and as oratorTs that the contest
between them promised to be a mag
nificent one. tor several weeks the
scales balanced evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republi
can candidate came up ailing. He
seemed overcome and spoke labor
edly. The next day he was even less
effective. Later he was compelled
to ask his opponent for a postpone
ment of certain appointments, which
was granted. Before the campaign
ended he had abandoned the field
altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candi
date continued his canvass, seeming
to grow stronger, cheerier, and more
effective with each succeeding week.
He was elected. One evening in
December, while entertaining several
gentlemen, he said:
"I will tell you a campaign secret
which gave me the election. With
the opening of my campaign I began
caring for my liver. I knew that a
disordered or torpid liver meant dull
ness and possible sickness. I took
something every day. When my
opponent began failing I knew his
trouble lo be his liver and felt like
prescribing for him, but feared if 1
did so he might beat me! I grew
stionger as the campaign progressed,
often making two speeches a day.
Even my voice, to my surprise, did
not fail me once. All because War
ner's Safe Cure keptnie in A 1 trim."
Ex-Governor Jacob, of Kentucky,
also made a campaign tour under
precisely similar circumstances, and
says he kept up under the exhausting
strain by use of the same means.

A STROKE OF GENIUS.
WAsniKGTOK, D. C. Sept 23. The
Washington papers are engaged in
impressing upon the president the
propriety of carefully discriminating
between "bona fide residence" and
"carpetbaggers" iu his forthcoming
appointments to district offices. To
impress Mr. Cleveland with tho grav
ity of this issue, the Critic vouches
for the following as a statement of
facts:
"A certain person iu Minnesota by
his lawless acts, disreputable con
duct and pure cussednoss generally,
had made himself so offensive to tho
community in which he domiciled,
that tho citizens, with rigorous west
ern emphasis, addressed him a letter,
advising lhat it; would bo to Ins in
terest to leave that town forthwith,
and to stand not upon the order of
his going, bnt lo go at once, or they
would inflict personal chastisement
to the disfigurement of his personal
nnnearancc and convey him out of
their jurisdiction in a manner or con
veyance of a very primitive character.
The communication was signed by a
large number of the leading citizens.
The lawless adventurer accepted the
situation, pocketed the citizens' let
ter and moved upon Washington.
The condition ot affairs hero at the
time afforded an opportunity to dis
play a stroke of his gonitis. With the
cheek and assurauce of a fresh news
paper correspondent at tho capital,
who commences his screeds by abus
ing Washington and its bona fide
residents, this schemer drew up an
application addressed to the presi
dent, for his appointment as justice
of the pence for the District of Colum
bia, and to it attached that portion
of the Minnesota letter contain
ing the signatures of the promi
nent citizens who had warned him
to leave their town, presented it to
the president as his indorsement for
the position, sought and actually re
ceived his commission. He opened
his office on Sisth street near Louisi
ana avenue, and carried on business
for some time before the fraud was
discovered, which was finally dis
closed by the visit here ot persons
from the town in Minnesota from
which he had been expelled, who. sur
prised at finding him holdiug a judi
cial position under the government,
made inquiry into Ihe matter, with
tho result as" herein stated."

Considerable amusement was had
on the O. R. & N. dock yesterday
morning, on the arrival of the Colum
bia, over the actions of a dudo who
got off to stretch his alleged legs and
strolled aronnd.
Ho was a 3nde.
His attitude
"Was striking as ho sat
On tho Columbia's balustrade,
The -wbilo a cigarette he made.
He wore a derby hat
With such a brim
It covered him.
His coat was made so tight
His arms could never touch his side.
His elbows thus extended wide
Were really quite a sight.
"His trowsers, too, .
Exposed to view
A limb so very slight
You scarca could tell it from the cins '
Tho silver head of which ho fain
Would swallow if he might.
He uttered slew:
'Aw, don't you know.
This really's qnito a bore."
Then rolled his cignretta again
And looked as if ho tried iu vain
To think of something more.
Bat no! you see
Vacuity
On every feature plain.
Beyond his cigaretto and clothes
He absolutely nothing knows,
Except to suckhis cane.
BnlliD- the Market.
All reports bear cumulative testi
mony to the fact lhat tho salmon
packing industry is iu a better con
dition to-day than it has been for
several seasons. It is an accepted
fact, though perhaps it would be n
difficnlt matter to demonstrate with
mathematical exactness that the
world's salmon stocks are lighter
than ever before since tho very early
days of the industry. Interested
parties have at times almost suc
ceeded in establishing tho belief that
American and English markets were
unprecedently heavily stocked and
that dull markets could best be ac
counted for by the superabundant
supplies. Tho remarkable revival in
the demand for Columbia river salm
on since tho definite determination
of tho shortage in tho pack has
worked the complete demolition of
the theory that heavy stocks have
retarded tho movement. It is begin
ning to dawn upon the packers and
the trade that while salmon markets
havo continued dull or quet through
the season the movement from the
Columbia river has been one of phe
nomenal activity. Cal. Grocer anil
Caniur, 1.
Better Weighted and Dumped in the Hay.
This market is now pretty well sup
plied with do-overs for local consum
ers. True, bnyers get tho benefit of
doubly-processed goods, without ad
ditional cost, and an additional num
ber of vent-holes well sealed in each
can; bnt, after all, these don't really
improve the quality of tho fish.
Prices for this description of salmon
range from G5 to Soc. If consumers
want the cheap kinds we know of no
law lo prevent them from taking
them; but to put these goods on the
market is an injustice to the salmon
interest It would be better if a good
portiou of this salmon was weighted
and dumped in the bay. G rocer and
