The United States government has contracted with the Pacific Coast Steamship company to lay the neces sary bnoys in Wrangel Narrows and Peril straits to guide mariners. The steamer Idaho has taken tho buoys aboard and will lay them. This saves the Shubriek the trouble of going up there. Young Marolf who disappeared mysteriously from A.

He had a tough time getting here but made the journey safely. Among the freight on tho State of California, which sails to-day for San Francisco, is the body of a Chi nese merchant named Gwo Nnm, which is on its way to China.

Salem, Oct 12.Governor Moody issued a proclamation this afternoon, calling a special session of the legis lature to meet on the ninth of No vember uto consider matters of vi tal importance' To He Sailed To-Day. Tho boat raee which resulted so unsatisfactorily last Saturday, was not run the next day. it being impos sible to harmonize, but arrangements were made yesterday to which all agreed. The understanding at pres ent writing is that the race is to be sailed to-day. The intention is to start between nine and ten this morn ing if there is an eighteen mile breeze; if not to wait till later in the day. The six boats aro to start from the same place as on Saturday and sail over the same course. They will start on a line, having first drawn for choice or position. The boats will bo ranged along that linej sixty feet apart, each provided with an auchor and a buoy to mark the auchor. At the gunshot the anchors are to be slipped and away they go, the first boat to cross the line at the finish to be the winner, regardless of time. This is believed to be fair for all, and if there is anything like a good wind to-morrow tho race will be a fine one. It will be low water at 9:27, a. m. Tho I'oroisni Lumber Tnnlo. Ten sail vessels were loading red wood lumber at Hnmbolt bay, Cali fornia, last week for foreign ports, the largest number ever seen there in the foreign trade. Tho foreign de mand for lumber ffrom Australia principally) never was so great as now. The Puget sound sawmills have been quite severely taxed to supply it, in several instances getting out more lumber even than in the brisk day of 18S2 and 1SS3. The de mand from California is very slack, while that at home has greatly fallen off. Formerly tho shipn-euts foreign aggregated from 10 to 25 per cent of the whole; now they run from 40 to 50. Were it not for the trade from abroad the lumber business would now be exceedingly dull. The call for lumber from Panama has ceased entirely, while a large demand from China is expected in the event that the anticipated railroad building in that country is realized Seattle J'ost- Tn telligc '. rr.

Portland has more restaurants in proportion to her population than any other town in the United States, says the Neirs. Chinamen are picking and sacking potatoes near lJuena Vista, Polk county, for two cents per bushel. Some 10,000 bushels was raised in that section this year. Asa Simpson is at Shoalwater bay on the tug Fearless, to. inquire into the accidents that have occurred there recently to vessels crossing iho bar in tow of Simpson Brothers' tugs. Extensive preparations havo been made by the North Pacific domestic and fat stock show at Portland, for a splendid exhibit The show opened yesterday and will close on tho 22nd. The Leep Brothers, of Cornucopia, on the 11th of September discovered a four-foot free gold ledge, about eight miles southwest of Cornucopia, on the Eagle creek side of the moun tains. The white men discharged from the Canadian Pacific railroad are now Hocking into Yictoria. The steamer Yosemite lauded 300 there on Thurs day, and many more were expected the following day. The Bedding Independent of last week reported that some two hun dred white men were at Delta wait ing for employment on the railroad, but wero not likely to find work, as the company is employing oidy Chi nese. On Saturday night Dr. B. 3f. Tib belts was discovered in his room in Portland in the agouie3 of death, ho having taken a dose of strychnine. Efforts to save his life wjero of no avai!. Deceased was a native of New Hampshire, aged 53. He was a single man. The steamer Erril, which plies on Lake Washington, between Laurel Shade and Bothwell's landing, in Squak slough, sunk last Friday in nine feet of water. Capt Alex. Saw yer, her master, was aboard at the time, and escaped by swimming ashore. A band of horse thieves, number ing some forty men, with their fam ilies, have established their head quarters in the Teton basin, M. T. They have a regular settlement, rais ing crops, etc., and seldom havo less than 300 or 400 head of stock on hand, most of which is stolen prop erty. From parties connected with the cannery at Aberdeen, the Chehalis Yidttte learns that at nearly every haul of the nets large quantities of shad, llounder, trout and sturgeon are caught, but as tho fishermen have no use for these varieties of the fin ny tribe, they are put back into the water. Tho Coquille Herald says: The run of salmon into this river is un paralleled. At the mouth of the riv er they aro so thick that a person can kill them with an oar as he pulls his boat along. A drift net was put out at Machado's the other day, and at the end of half an hour it was so full that it wa3 with difficulty got ashore. Arthur Wilsou, of Jackson county, has discovered a bituminous coal mine on his farm near Med ford. The vein being over four feet wide is almost inexhaustible. It resembles in every particular tho coal of Toledo, Ohio. Ho proposes to develop the mine at onco and is confident- that it can be worked to advantage and profit New quartz ledges are being dis covered almost every day in southern Oregon, says the Grant's Pass Argus. Amett Bros, have found a gold bear ing quartz ledge, exteusive in width and length with gold plainly visible to the naked eye. G. V. Gibbs has discovered a gold and silver quarlz ledge four feet in width, on Jump-Off-Joe, near Lucky Queen. The usual rate of wages for miners throughout the eastern Oregon min eral district, is S2 per day, and em ployers have no difficulty in making up their gangs a this rate. The Chi namen receive the same pay as the white men, and in all cases where regular wages are paid the men find their own board. About 2.000 men are now at work at these wages. The Oregon City woolen mills em ploy one hundred aud eighty persons, fifty of which are the heads of fam iles, and fifty more families derive a partial support from the same source. The monthly pay roll is over six thousand dollars, over three-fourths of which is paid to white labor. It will thus bo seen that the mill keeps one hundred families at Oregon City. Governor Moody has received offi cial notification from the acting chief of ordnance at Washington, D. C, of tho shipment to his address from tho United States arsenal at Benicia, California, of the following arms and accoutrements for the use of the state of Oregon, viz: 132 Springfield rilles, 132 cartridge boxes, 132 bayonet scab bards, 132 waist belts aud plates and four non-commissioned officers' swords. The following articles of incorpora tion havo been filed in the office of tho secretary of state: The Forest Grove and Tillamook Wagon Boad Co.; object, to construct a wagon road from Eorest Grove to Lincoln, in Till amook county; incorporators, B. B. Mills, C. T. McKinley and J. M. Mills; capital stock, $10,000. Also the Port land Deep Sea Fishing company, in corporators, J. Exou, B, S. Stubbs and B. N. Barnett; capital stock S10.000. About 300 Chinamen arrived Satur day and yesterday from Puget sound. Passengers arriving from Tacoma re port a largo number are walking to this city, says tho Portland Xfetcs of tho 12th. About 100 Chinamen havo loft Portland during the past few days for Yictoria, when they will em bark on tho barks Sparta and Alden Besse, which vessels will sail shortly for China. The Chinamen aro com pelled to pay $50 each to laud at Vic toria. Tho Chinese residents of Ta coma havo been ordered to leave that place by November 1st Tho San Francisco Chronicle says: "The experiment of using steam col liers on this coast has been given a good test, and it is now generally con sidered that their work, as far as ex pense is concerned, is a failure. The vessels in tho Oregon Improvement company, and of the Pacific Improve ment, have run behind ever since they started, and the business will hereafter be turned over to sail ing vessels, as they cau bring and land the coal here at fully 50 per cent, less cost than any of the steam col liers now here.1' The Oregonian adds: What is stated relativo to steam oplliers as a failure, is about true, but sailing vessels can not land coal in San Francisco at 50 per cent less than colliers. The companies havo charged up the co3t of transportation between Puget sound and San Francisco at S2.50 per ton thongh it has been a trifle less than that sum. Sailing vessels can now bo chartered at $1.75 to $2 per ton, in any quantity, and some, it is supposed, will charter still lower. W. D. Tyler, manager of tho Taco ma hotel has a long letter in the Ledger xipon the Chinese question, in which ho relates his own experience with white help about tho hotel. He says: Within ono year after the op ening of tho Tacoma hotel I brought from the east and San Francisco, thirty-three whito employes (twenty one male and twelve female) at a cost of nearly $5,000 in fares and other expenses. Of that number I have seven left, and although I am paying in many instances double and in some treble the wages paid for tho same service in the east, they left mo largely because they could procure better wages! Wherein is the hard ship of which complaint is made? Women in the east are glad to get $8 and $10 per month, with board in cluded, and at thoso figures dress nearly as well as their employers, aud save money beside. Hero I pay $20 and $30 and get tho samo work done. Why don't they flock in and fill these places now, as I am told they will when the Chinese go? Be cause it's a long walk, and they can not pay the fare. In view of these facts I would liko your readers to ask themselves whether there may not be some other canso for the glut of our labor market Is it not the outcome of the unhealthy Villard boom, which by its pyrotechnic dis play has brought to our shores an undue proportion of labor illy pre pared to wait for the advent of the good times wo so earnestly expect. NAVIGATION STATISTKS. Messrs. James Lotan and J. L. Ferguson, local inspectors of boilers and hulls for tho district of the Willamette, have just completed their quarterly report for tho three months ending Sept. 3. During the three months past they have inspected forty-nine steamer hulls and sixty one boilers, and issued 151 licenses to pilots and engineers. When it is considered that the report is for only one quarter of a year, somo interest will be taken in what has beeu done during the three-quarters of the year ' just closed. Licenses have been is sued during that time to 123 masters, seventeen mates, fifty-seven pilots aud 100 engineers. The number of steamers given certificates this year during three-quarters, and their registered tonnage, is almost equal to last year's en tiro number. Last year the number was one hundred and ten with a gross tonnage of 39,925.51, against 101 steamers this year with a gross tonnage of 22,231.15. Before the end of tho yoar tho number will have overrun last year's number by considerable. The report shows that over 500,000 passengers have been carried duriug the threo months and of that immense number not a life has been lost In fact there has not been n passenger lost or killed in the Willamette district during the entire year so far. This is probably tho only district in the whole country that can boast of having carried over a million passengers without an accident or loss of lifo to one of them. There has been an increase of nine teen steamers so far this year. The total at the end of the year will prob ably reach ISO. Oregonian, 11. . Bncklcn's Arnica Salve.
