On returning from public office,
Treasurer Hirsch turned over to Mr.
Webb, his successor, the large sum
of $382,483.42 in the general fuud.
Is not this Jargo.sum of money, asks
the Mercury, in itself a sufficient argu
ment in favor of a lower rate of state
taxation. In the four years that this
sum has been accumulating, the state
has built a costly insane asylum and
expended other large sums of money
in public improvements; and yet the
treasery is full of money and the mot
to is "rake her!" .
Thus soliloquizes the Welceme:
What fools these mortals be! A

disappears as mysteriously as he

Salem, .Ian. 17- The Columbia
river improvement committee leaving
The Dalles yesterday morning and,
arriving at the lock at 11:30 a.m.,
Capt. Young in charge, who proceeded
with the committee to make a thor
ough examination of the works aud
from present indications it will take
about two vears to complete them,
provided all the money that can be
used can be secured from tho gener
al government; that the locks had
been constructed on a much larger
scale than the position with regard to
the river upon which they are placed
is capable of being navigated, viz:
when completed they will admit at
extreme low water, a vessel drawing
eight feet of water, which cannot as
cend, the river being too shoal below
that point, and also at points above,
without first being dredged. All re
turned here by train to-day. and your

that they are well pleased and
would willingly pay the expense

asphyxiatep.
Trov, New York, Jan. 17. Last
night a police officer was told by a
restaurant keeper that he and his
family had been stupefied from tho
effects, as he predicted, of gas which
entered his apartments from the gas
oompany building near by. The gas
was shut off and an examination of
the houses of the neighborhood
made. In one room of the tenement
house three persons, Wm. Gilfilian,
Ida Bennett and Caroline Bennett
were found dead, sitting about the
room, as they had been conversing
when the gas overcame them. The
bodies were taken to the undertakers
room and the coroner notified. Oth
er families in the neighborhood were
aroused and ordered by the police to
leave their houses. A leak in the
pipes which run through the district
was probably the cause of the acci
dent, the gas being odorless.

-SAILED FOR ASTORIA,"
Bnt "Wrecked and "Wreaking Rnin At the
Golden Gate.
San Francisco, Jan. 16. The
schooner Parallel, which sailed for
Astoria Thursday, was last night ob
served by John Hyslop, keeper of tho
sighting station at Point Lobos,
drifting apparently abandoned with
all sails set and'lights burning. She
drifted into a cove five hundred yards
above the Cliff House and struck the
rocks under a heavy surf. The life
saving servico was summoned, but
found no one on the vessel. They
built a boufireand remained in watch
in case the wrecked crew should
come ashore later. About 1230 there
was a terrific explosion which scat
tered fragments of the vessel for half
a mile about, wrecking the nearest
buildings and breaking every pane of
glass for a thousand yards. The
northern end and balconies of the
Cliff House were wrecked, and the
doors and windows were blown in and
the building badly injured every way.
The Cliff House cottage was demol
ished and the inmates cut and bruised.
Adolph Sutro's fiuo conservatory, on
the heights above the cove, was de
stroyed, and all the glass in his resi
dence was broken.
The sighting station was badly in
jured by pieces of debris, which also
damaged buildings nearly half a mile
distant. John Wilson and Horace
Smith, of tho life saving crew, who
were standing on a bluff 250 yards
away, were picked up bodily and flung
against the cliff, which was shaken
down, and they rolled with it to the
beach badly injured. The I033 to tho
buildings is near forty thousand dol
lars. The vessel was loaded with mer
chandise and had 1,600 boxes giant
powder No. 2 on board. The explo
sion shook the oity like a sharp
earthquake. Very few knew of the
explosion until this morning, then
crowds flocked to the scene and the
roads were taxed to their utmost ca
pacity. The explosion was felt a3 far
as San Jose.
The captain and crew of the
wrecked schooner oame to the city
to-day from Point Bonita lighthouse,
where they landed last night. Their
story is that they started Thursday
morning, and after the tug left them
oft" Black Point they anchored on ao
count of the fog. After one attempt
to get out they stayed until Saturday
afternoon, and then started out from
the heads, but became becalmed a
mile off the Cliff house and drifted.
When they saw a wreok inevitable
they hastily abandoned the vessel,
knowing the dangerous nature of the
cargo, leaving their clothes and ev
erything but what they had on. They
consisted of Captain Miller, tho mate,
steward and four sailors.
The Oregon Rar Pilots.
The pilots of the pilot schooner
Goc. Moody have issued a. statement
for the twelve months ending October
28th, 1886, being the first year's work
since the schooner went iuto service.
In that time she pileted: in twenty
eight vessels, the 'pilotage on which
was $2,980, of-which $367.25 went to
the state. They piloted out thirteen
vessels, the pilotage on which was
Sl.134.50, of which $238 went to the
state. The yearly expenses of the
schooner are given as follews:
Insurance for one year
Maintenance of a crew one year
Provisions of crew for the year.
Repairs and other expenses. . .
$ 935
1,100
960

Total $3,285
The total receipts for cbeyear were
$4,114; the state received $605.25.
Whew Mrs. Grandiose Had the Rest of It.
"My dear, look down below," said
Grandiose, as he stood on tho bridge,
with his wife, and gazed at a panting
tug hauling a long line of barges:
"such is life the tug is like a man,
working and toiling, while the barges,
like women are "I know.' interrupt
ed Mrs. G., acridly, "the tug does all
I the blowing, and the barges bear all

Gov. Moody Pardoned Him.

Unnere&sary Misery.
Probably as muoh misery comes
from habitual constipation "as from

Free Trade.
The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, 'no
doubthas largely benefited the con
sumers, as well as relieving the bur
den of home manufacturers. Especial
ly is this the case with Green's
August Flower and Boscliee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of
thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
ndded to increase the size of the bot
tles containing these remedies, there
by giving one-fifth more medicine in
tho 75 cent size. The August Flower
for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in
the world. The advantage of in
creased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by tho sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in
civilized countries. Samplo bottles
