Two DrowEed; One Missing.
The sad sight of drowned bodies
borne to the undertaker's to be pre
pared for decent sepulture, was again
seen yesterday afternoon, two poor
fellows whose troubles on earth are
over, being arrayed in the habili
ments of the grave.
The first wos the body of Gas. Matt
son, a Russian Finn, aged 24, fishing
in boat No. 12 of the Cutting Packing
Co., who, with his boat puller, was
drowned off Clatsop spit Friday
. morning. The body was found by A.
K. "Weir Friday evening, where it had
washed ashore on Clatsop beach near
the wreck of the Cairnsmuir. The
body was wrapped in the net, and the
boat, oars, etc., had also come ashore
a short distance from the body; the
watch in-the pocket of the drowned
man had stopped at twenty-five
minutes past five. It appeared
as though he had tried to beach
bis boat, but unsuccessfully. The
boat puller is missing; and was, in
11 probability, drowned also; no tid
ings has yet been received of his
body. Deceased was well spoken of
as a hard working young man who
saved his money and was trying to
get on and get a start in the world.
He had 826.35 in his pocket, and is
said to have had a handsome sum at
interest in one of the banks. He was
a member of the Columbia river fish
ermen's protective union, and will be
buried by that association at ten
o'clock this morning.
The name of the missing boat pull
er could not be ascertained. Later
in the afternoon G. Compare, fishing
Geo. W. Hume's boat No. 9, brought
up the body of a drowned man that
he had found floating at Scarbor
ough head. It had been in the water
for sometime and was so decomposed
as to' be unrecognizable.

Snch Things Happen Occasionally.
One of tho editors of the New York
Commercial Advertiser has had a curious
experience. When Phoebe Carey died ho
wrote An appreciative editorial about the
Carey skiers. That was years ago. Re
cently this same editor received from a
contributor, as an original article, this
same editorial copied verbatim. Tacoiuu
Ledger, 19.
When Gen. Grant died in July, 'S5.
an editorial on his memory appeared
in The Daily Astorian. It was
copied considerably and drifted east
ward, the last paper it was noted in
being the Memphis, Tenn., Avalanche.
Over a year afterward it appeared as
plate matter, in tho Seattle Times,
credited by the stereotypers to the
Avalanche.
Excitement in Texas,
Great excitement has been caused in
tho vicinity of Paris. Tex., by the re
markable recovery of Mr. J. K. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn
in bed, or raise his head : everybody
said he was dying of Consumption. A
trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery
was sent him. Finding relief, he
bought a large bottle and a box of Dr.
Kings's New Life Pills; bj the time he
had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discover-, he was well
and had gained in flesh thirty-six

INTERESTING LETTER FROM YAQUINA
Yaquina Crrr, Or., May 18, '87.
The Oregon Development Oo.'s
steamer Willamette Valley arrived
in to-day, forty-eight hours from San
Frauoisco. This is a handy little
vessel of 615 tons, three years old and
well appointed. This is about her
fourth trip since arriving from tho
east.
On her last trip up she had to lie
off the Yaquina bar four days, before
it became smooth enough for her to
cross.
During this time she weathered the
gale of Saturday, the 7th, whioh old
settlers pronounced the hardest ex
perienced for years.
The large buoy placed at the end of i
tne ss w reer, araggea. its moonng3
and now lie3 in the south breakers.
"Will T. Webber's dwelling, which
was in frame, was blown to "the
ground, and several other buildings
were badly racked.
Lumber from Roy's wharf was
blown into the bay.
There arrived on the Willamette
Valley to-day, a Mr. Bennett, an old
time steamship purser, who comes to
assume the duties of agent of the O.
D. Co.'s steamers at this place. With
the steamers Willamette Valley, Ya
quina City and the Eastern Oregon
making connection with this. place
every three days, Mr. Bennett will
have a busy position.
Tho Eastern Oregon has not ar
rived in San Francisco yet, having
run short of fuel and put into Santa
Baibara, Cal. Coal was shipped to
her on the Queen of the Pacific, as
there is none to be obtained at that
place.
Those in charge of the government
work are pushing tho repairs to the
jetty and approaches. Everything
has to be strengthened for the "heav
ier rolling stock, which it was fonnd
necessary to use.
This work was commenced, during
tho earlier part of the winter, but was
discontinued on account of bad
weather.
Mr. Ingham, of Elk City, has the
contract for furnishing stone for"
the jotty, which he will take out o'f
tho old government quarry. He is
stripping tho stone now and getting
ready for work. Mr. Copeland, of
Idaho, has tho contract for furnish'
iug tho piles.
In the Oregon ian of to-dav appears
a dispatch saying that two Indians:
who went outside tho" bar with Geo.
Washington, of Newport, to catch
fish, were missing, having been
caught out in a blow. ' There is no
truth in the report as they all landed
Bafely at Capo Foulweather. On the
same day that Washington and his
companions went out Mr. Henry Nice,
well known in Astoria, started for
Alsea Bay, a distance of about 12
miles, iu n very large skill. He went
alone, having a r,ail and one pair of
oars in the boat.
On arriving off Alsea bar he found
it to be too rough to cross
in and stood off shore. About 7
o clock that evening a strong wind
from the south suddenly sprung up
and drove him to the northward. He
pulled for dear lite to keep from' go
ing ashore iri the breakers in the
vicinity ol Cape Foulweather. The
wind abated about 10 o'clock and he
was able to pull to the whistling buoy
of Yaquina bay where he hung on the
rest of the night. Next morning the
tng Favorite picked him up and
lauded him inside. It is safe to say
that Mr. Nico will not undertake a
sea voyage in a skiff again. She filled
twice with him. Had the wind "not
gone down he vwould undoubtedly
have perished. Mr. Nice, with Capt.
Freemau Dodge add others, is inter
ested in a salmon cannery at Alsea
bay.
