' During 18S5, the county clerk ib sued 74 marriage licenses: the city, sexton issued 76 burial permits: therd is no record kept of the births, though! it would be well worth while as a) matter of official statistics.

Since the speaker announced that he would plnce Murkham on that com mittee Hermann has redoubled his efforts to get a place on the same committee. On Wednesday Senators Dolph and Mitchell, Congressman Herrmnn, Delegate Voorbees, of Washington territory, and Delegate Haiiey, of Idaho, called on Carlisle to again urge the claims of the Ore gon congressman. The speaker said that the fact that Hermann was backed by one-sixth of the whole ter ritory of the country had great weight with him. The only reason against giving Hermann the place was that Dolph was on the committee of com merce in the senate, which has charge of rivers and harbor bills there. He caid it would be giving Oregon double representation on a committee which 150 members wanted to get on. The speaker did not make any promise to the delegation. In the afternoon Congressman Hermann had a long interview with Sparks. He told the commissioner that an additional land district was needed in Oregon. Sparks concurred in this, and told Hermann to draw the boundaries of a new district and submit them to him for approval. It requires an act of congress to create a new land dis trict, but the land office first recom mends the measure. The tactics of the railroad man agers, says a Washington dispatch, in regard to the land grant of tho Cali fornia & Oregon road have so far worked admirably. Besolntions of the boards of trade of San Francisco and Sacramento have been sent to all the congressmen. The resolutions of the two principal boards of trade in California, urging congressmen to vote for the grant, goes far to con vince them tuat the staie would be really benefited by giviug the land grant If u strong majority of con gressmen from California opposed the grant, it is very probable that congress would refuse to extend the time of the grant. On the other band, if the California delegation and the Oregon congressman were solidly in favor of tho grant, it is quite prob able that congress would extend the time. In this condition ot affairs it is evident what strong influence the action of tho boards o. trade will have. The effect of that action is al ready visibly felt in the delegation. Over 200 pounds of opium have been found on the steamer Idaho at Port Townsend sine o tho 30th. She is still being searched, and more is supposed to be on board. All her cargo from Alaska and 750 tons of coal from Nanaimo is being shifted and thoroughly searched Tho steamer has not been seized, but her carpenter and Chinese cook are under arrest. Dariiig the past year there has been a very marked increase, in an unex pected manner, in business done on the San Francisco water front. Strayed Away and Probably Perished. Mention was ma le a fow days ago of the wandetiugs of old Mr. Althnber whose absence had caused great misgivings to his family. The mrning nfter the conclusion was reached that he had strayed away, Messrs. Hihn, Book and Berendes started to the Walluski, towards which he had been seen feebly mak ing his way the day before. When they got to Wm. Leveridge's place they learned that the old man had been there the previous day, but not understanding any German and he being unknown personally to him he as allowed to pass on, though con siderable effort was made to detain him and he was coaxed to have coffee and almost pulled into the house. He had then been out three nights, and as he continued along ia the mud and wet, and has not been seen nor heard of since last Monday the sad conclusion is thatthe unfortunate old man, who is over 73 years of age. has perished. The last of the party returned yesterday evening and all hope of ever seeing him alive again is about given up. Another party will take a boat and go to Walluski ferry this morning. Registration.
