IWJMtl "ri l) W vSSs ii3oan. ASTORIA. OREGON: TBIDAY.. ,". ArilIL2D. 1887 Bradstkeets says as an evi dence of the good times there ae now employed in this country 400, 000 more -vvageworkers than in 1885, jand wages are above the high levei of 1882. Talking of "booms," there is a health- "boom" in the demand far" fine lumber, of -this section. It is wanted and every mill on the Columbia is busy in filling orders for .lumber from the east. ''S.ee famous' dismal swamp is no longer used as a shelter for runaway negro slaves, of course, but it is bptfeved to be the hiding place of atrleastono hundred white men who, for various reasons, want to retire to private life for a spejl. "" - From present indications the Columbia river canners will not -den-ve-much'' advantage from the SO'rerity-five days suspension of tsection. four of the interstate com--nferBr.:law, - as the limit expires July 10th, about the time the real bulk of the pack is being put up. Howver,the first of the pack of '87 can go overland, and the cus tomary -English . shipments be made up of what is packed toward the close of the season. ,. "Wall street is inquiring what hasbecome of all the trade dollars. ,Tp Oitboresent'time" the sub treasury has received 'about $2, 700,000 for redemption and the applications have nearly ceased. The few that are offered come chieffy from the country. ZFite: theoryis that when the coin was selling at 85 cents, many were melted and used for manufacturing purposes. The coin being 900 fine and containing 420 grains, it was cheaper than bullion. In the extensive oyster culture experiments of tbe United States government particular attention is being giverivto methods for pre servingtKe young. "Wire baskets three feet square -and six inches deep ar -used for- collecting the spatrwfiich adhere closely to the side and bottom, this device en abling the operators to .prevent the accumulation of mud, the "great foe of the oyster industry, by fre quent shakings of the basket. An average oyster is expected to yield i5"fi!)6,000 young. In Jtowell's newspaper directory fori87 the number of 'papers pub lished in the-United States, terri tories (fnci'uding" Alaska) and Can tfda ia.put.at 15,420; an increase d.5Sl inrone year. "The growth pf.'newspapers in some- of the states would'be a. matter" "of woh deryif it were not that this year is no exception to the rule. In Kansas the increase is 89 and in Nebraska;: 64; while the Keystone tate shows a' smaller advance of 3o,"and the -Buckeye state df 30. Pennsylvania exhibits the largest increase in'dailies, 17; Kansas in wgekliS,.81, and New York, in njonthlies, 42-. Seven states show adccrea.se;. the mpst prominent instances being- Njew. - Hampshire and Virginia, sixeach. "-- ,-. 7T' Tt r 'Senator Vest, of Missouri, ex plains, to- ,a New York reporter how the recent story about- GHeve land5 nleclinmg a renomination was attributed to him. Vest said tbafrwhilerecently calling on the president, the "latter said if' he weYe consulting himself alone, he would Jay, down the office and its cares at once.. He did not say he would decline a second term. -Later Vest heard friends discuss ing Gleveland and one imputed selfishness and a desire for renom ination to the pres"$erlt, and there upon Vest defended Cleveland and repeated tho'abovc 'remark to show that ho was not ambitious. Thjs -was. magnified and dis torted into, the.. recent rumor. Ves"5id:: to the interviewer: "Governor Hill -may be a pretty -Jbig map. here inNew, York, but tlie'wuBtrknows-ip'thing' what- ever about him; never heard of him, in fact; he is entirely out of the presidential race." The question is often asked in San Francisco, says the" Bulletin why a passenger can buy a round trip ticket from Chicago to San Francisco for $80, and must pay a sum approximating that amount for a single ticket from the bay of San Francisco to Lake Mich igan? The railroad people say that this does not conflict with the provfsiqns of the interstate com merce law. It is simply a rule adopted by the roads to permit the 63,000,000 of people dwelling east of .the Sierras in the United Stajes, to visit the 2,000,000 re siding on the Pacific coast. It encourages people to come, instead of inviting them to go. Managers of excursions reason this way: "Cheap tickets going west will find a market. The passengers are not compelled to go. If we make a low rate for a round trip, persons of moderate means will visit California and Oregon to see the country, and it will stimu late industrial development." "We know," says the railroad man, "That the business man in Cali fornia must go east and there is no reason why we should make a special rate for him." Famous Women. Madame Trebelli, the greatest of living contraltos who has traveled extensively, in fact visited every county and city of note in the world. has just departed from the slope of the Pacific, and often expressing tlie greatest admiration for the beauty and grandeur of our scenery and the delightful mildness of our climate, left the following written note as a living expression of her opinion in the hands of a Portland druggist, the original of which can be seen on de mand.
