The Ancon collided last Saturday
in San Franoisco bay with the steamer
Humboldt. Both vessels had left
their docks a little before, the Ancon
a few minutes after the Humboldt.
The two vessels came together with
a crash. The rails of the Humboldt
were badly smashed and the creaking
of her timbers could be plainly heard
on the dock. The S. F. Call says
that both vessels proceeded on their
voyage and the extent of the damages
could not be ascertained.
Of course there are always some
who are not satisfied with any kind
of weather; yet, while it may be urged
with much show of reason that con
tinuance pi the present moist weather
is useless beoause everything is as
wet as it can be, it is a pleasure to
note that our farmers as a rule are
particularly pleased to have these
warm rains and mild southwesferly
winds instead of the snow and the
Bleet and keen east winds that often
injure their pastures and pinch their
stook at this time of the year. This
mild, moist weather is money in their
pockets.
The resolution submitting a pro
hibitory amendment to the state con
stitution to a direct vote of the peo
ple, which was adopted at the regular
session of the legislature and which
passed the house for the second time
on Wednesday, was the subject of a
rather tiresome discussion in the
senate on Thursday. It passed by an
almost unanimous vote and provides
that the voters of the state shall vote
on the question of constitutional pro
hibition at the next regular election,
which is to be held oue ypar from
next June.
At Salem the discussion of the
Grant's Pass charter developed such
feeling in some of the legislators that
when the house adjourned Thursday
afternoon a knot of people gathered
at one side to 'talk the matter over;
Miller and Biddle being among them.
There -wa3. a good deal of insulting
talk, when Miller called Biddle a liar.
The latter struck one blow, hitting
Miller lightly in the face. The crowd
closed in and stopped the fight. The
victim of this affray was Bepresenta
tive Maxwell, of Columbia, who re
ceived a blow on the arm from Miller,
intended for Biddle.
The '"Ladstork" Matter.
Our readers will remember the
British bark Ladstock, which loaded
salmon here and cleared in Septem
ber last for England. It will be re
membered also by many that Captain
Morton suspended his first mate, Mr.
May, from duty, charging him with
incompetency. The mate appealed
to the acting British vice-consul here
against the action of the captain, but
it was found that the trouble between
them was of such a nature that it
could be settled only by the owners
of the vessel, or by an English court
of inquiry. The Ladstock made the
trip home in 120 days, and a letter ac
companied by a remittance from the
mate to a friend who rendered him
pecuniary assistance, states that dur
ing the greater part of the passage
the captain kept him below by force
and subjected him to other indigni
ties. That shortly after the vessel's
arrival Captain Morton was dis
charged from the company's employ
and he, the first mate, was paid in
full for every day ho was in the ship
and expects to go again in her as first
officer under a new captain.

Accident to a Pioneer Woman.
Word was received by Judge W.
H. Adams, of this city, that his
mother, who went from here to Day
ton, Or., a few days ago to visit her
daughter, Mrs. Dr. McDaniel, had
met with a very painful misfortune
Wednesday. In walking out into the
yard, being, quite weary, she slipped
and fell, breaking both bones of the
ankle. She was immediately placed
under the influence of anaesthetics
and the fractures were reduced, after
which she seemed to rest pretty com
fortably, but it will be a long time be
fore she will be able to get about
again. Oregonian, 28.

THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
How the Oregon Treacle Was Settled and
the Country Saved From War.
At the time of tho formation of a
provisional government by and for the
settlers of Oregon in 1845, the Oregon
boundary was a burning issne be
tween England and the United States.
Prior to that period neither govern
ment had appeared at liberty to ex
tend the jurisdiction of its law to
this part of America. In the judge
ment of McLaughlin, chief factor of
the Hudson's Bay company, the best
way to protect its property wa3 to
accept the invitation tendered by the
Americans to join their government
organization. . . .
Accordingly, after the lapse of a
brief period, on condition ' tffat the
company -should- pay" taxes" only on
goods sold to the. white inhabitants
of tho country, the officers of the
xiuason's juay company oecame, wnn
all the British residents, parties to
the political compact of Oregon. It
was a most timely action, the union
of the lion with the eagle. For
only a few days later the British fifty
gun ship of war, America, arrived
from Pnget sound. Tho British
squadron of tho Pacific then amount
ed to fifteen vessels, carrying over
fourdiundred guns. The avowed ob
ject of this fleet was "to afford pro
tection to her majesty s subjects in
Oregon, if they required it."
Had these proffers ov protection,
which really meant war, come a few
weeks soonor, war doubtless would
Jiavo been the result. ''When they
came to Vancouver," says Mr. Ban
croft, the Pacific coast historian,
"they expected to maintain England's
hold of the north' side of the Colum
bia river; but they found the Hud
son's bay company bound in an agree
ment of mutual protection with the
Americans; they learned the fearless
and resolute character of the colo
nists, and- their rapidly increasing
numbers, and were constantly
cheoked in their expressions of hos
tility by McLaughlin, who assured
them, and even wrote to England,
that the oountry was not worth a
war. Gordon, the commandor of
the man-of-war 'America, isBaid to
have agreed with McLaughlin, but
on entirely different grounds. He
was speaking literally, beoause ho
.found the Nesqually plains a bed of
gravel; nnd because, being fond of
angling, tho salmon would not rise to
tho fly. A country where the fish
were not lively enough for hi3 sport
was, in his estimation, worthless.
But the salmon were not the only fish
in Oregon that refused to rise to the
fly of the British angler.
What True Merit WJU Do.
The unprecedented sale of Boschce's
Herman Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. It is without
"doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectua 1
ure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
iAing troubles. It acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual
prescriptions given by Physicians, as it
does not dry up a Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cduse of the
trouble. heal3- the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy con
dition. A bottle kept in the house for
use when the diseases make their ap
pearance, -will save doctor's bills and a
long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. It is
positively sold by all-druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price, 75cts.,
