The Transfer of Port Astoria.
Compiled From Bancroft's "Pacific States." j
In the earlier days of fur trad
ing the " American fraders in Oce
gon were more revered by the
natives than were the British, but
a change eventually came over the
spirit of their dreams; since which
exactly the opposite has been the
feeling of the Indians generally
throughout the northwest.
Scarcely a fortnight elapsed Af
ter the delivery of the fortress of
Astoria to the Northwest Com
pany, when one day Concomly,
chief of the Chinooks, and father-in-law
of McDougall, the chief
trader of the American company,
came in breathless haste to the
latter, with tidings of a sail seen
off the cape, which he was fearful
might be a King George ship.
"Have we not enough of these
people, among us?" he exclaimed.
"Are you Boston women that you
permit these starving ones to take
your fort, your goods, and drive
you from rlio country? And now
here comes this vessel to enslave us
all, but with eight hundred war
riors at my back I do not fear them.
I will protect you." But McDou
gall soothed his hotly perspiring
and red-painted father-in-law,
assured him that the king
George men were no longer ene
mies, and sent him away happy in
the possession of a new coat and a
pocket full of tobacco, with in
structions not to molest white peo
ple who were all brothers.
This was the 29th of November,
1813. Next morning the vessel,
which was no other than the Brit
ish sloop of war Raccoon, Black,
commander, mounting 26 guns,
came dashing gayly forward, and
anchored in Baker's bay. She
was immediately boarded by Mc
Dougall and his royal father-in-law,
each with his retinue; and it
was pleasing to see the effect of
civilization thus far upon the king
of the Chinooks; for from a blood
thirsty warriop we find him sud
denly transformed into a crafty
courtier. "Ah," he cried to C.ip
tain Black, spreading a fine sea
otter skin upon the deck, "the
Bostons are brave, but the' have
no ships like this, no men like
these," his eyes running admir
ingly from the brightly polished
guns to the gilt-buttoned officer,
and along the line of niaxu.c-.
Next day saw Concomly approach
the little wharf before the fort
from the JRaccoon, flying the Un
ion Jack at the bow of his cinoe,"
and step ashore in full British uni
form. Upon such trifles the lfs
tinies of nations often turn.
A Valuable Substance.
Three small boxes arrived on
the steamer Zealandia Sunday,
from Auckland, which, although
seemingly of verv little impor
tance, the packages weighing some
300 pounds, formed the most valu
able portion of the big vessel's
cargo. They contain ambergris,
an article which has been a scaioe
commodity since its uses first be
came known. Deriving its name
from the Frence ambre tris, or
gray amber, .ambergris is a solid,
unctuous substance of a grayish
color, having streaks of white and
black in its formation. The arti
cle is found in the intestines of the
variety of the whale kilpwn as the
sperm. K
Previous to the complete analy
sis of ambergris by a Dr. Swediaur,
in England, the origin of amber
gris was extremely hypothetical.
The doctor found that the sub
stance contained the horny beaks
of the squid or cuttle fish, upon
which the sperm whale feed, and
the conclusion arrived at was
that the digestive organs of the
big fish were not powerful enough
to reduce the horny substance. In
many cases whales having this se
cretion in their intestines have
been found dead, or when killed,
to be in a very wasted jor sickly
condition. When taken from the
whale, ambergris is of a soft
consistency and has a disagreeable
smell, but after a short exposure
to the air it hardens and
assumes a sweet, earthy odor.
The present value of ambergris
ranges from 6 to S10 an ounce,
and its uses are confined to the
manufacture of perfumes. It is
requisite to dissolve ambergris in
hot alcohol before it can be util
ized, and this process produces a
tUDStance termea amprem, matter
allied to biliary concret;ons fojnd
in various mammals.
On the west coast of New Zea
land, the natives go along the
beach after heavy gales and search
for ambergris, and boating parties
are also organized to look for this
valuable substance as it floats-on
the sea -after being evacuated by
the whales. The present lot
bought by the Zelandia was prob
ably the catch of one of the New
Bedford whaling ships cruising
around the coast of New Zealand,
as the packages are consigned to
eastern firms. The value of the
present importation, which is duty
free, will amount to about 30,00(5.
In the year ending June 00, 1886,
there was only 260 pounds of this
article brought into the United
States and valued at 15,650.
Since that period 200 pounds were
reported as having been obtained
by two Providence, E. I., schoon
ers from one whale, and the pres
ent shipment is about the largest
known to have entered the market
for many years past. S. 1 Chron
icle, 17.
Restored to the Public Domain.
Washington, May 21. Land
commissioner Sparks to-day, in
speaking of secretaiy Lamar's pur
pose to revoke orders of with
drawal of.railroad indemnity lands
made by his predecessors from
time to time since 1850, expressed
the opinion that the revocation
will result in 25,000,000 acres of
land being thrown open to settle
ment and entry. The. railroads
which it is said will be most affect
ed, and the states, territories and
localities in which .are., located
much the larger portion of the
lands to be restored, are given in
the order of the interests involved
as follews: Northern Pacific rail

Mexico west of the Rio Grande,
and Arizona; the Southern Pacific,
in southern California; 'the Cali

Junction, near Sacramento, in Cal
ifornia, to the Oregon line; the
Oregon & California, from Port
land to the California line.
THE - NATIONAL DISEA9K
DOWNED.
Hundreds of so-called diseases
under various names are the result
of indigestion, and when this one
trouble is removed the others vanish.
The best known remedy for indiges
tion, according to thousands of testi
monials, is one that Iws been used in
the United States for more than
fifty years Braxdheth's Pills.
These Pills will cure .the worst form
of indigestion or dyspepsia, and by
their use the national disease is easily
conquered.
Think twice before you speak
once is a good enough rule for
some, but there are persons who
can think of so much meaner
things to say on second thought
that we prefer to hear their first
inspiration on the subject. Texas
