C3 Wht gaity tafat. ASTOEIA. OBEGON: TUESDAY--. JUNE2S.158T Keelt, the motor man, seems to have really discovered a perpet ual motion engine. The engine he has been at work on is always going to go very soon ! Says the Philadelphia Times: The time has come -when the American people should exercise the right to discriminate in regard to those who seek homes on Amer ican soil. "We still have room for industrious, law-abiding, liberty loving, self-sustaining foreigners. "We have none for paupers, crimi nals, revolutionists and anarchists. And all true lovers of the republic and institutions concur. The Apaches of Arizona, now on a rampage, are among the most savage and cruel Indians on the continent. They are by nature mean, and treachery is marked in their faces. Those who have looked upon them in their native wilds know this. They prejudice the interests of all peaceable Indians in the west, and have always given trouble. They should now be per manently settled; they never will become civilized or peaceable. In 1884 the plurality of Mr. Cleveland in New York was 1,047 in a vote of 1,171,312. The whole Butler vote in that state was 17, 002, and the prohibition vote was 25,001. Last year, when there was no especial interest in the election, the prohibition vote was 30,414. At the same election the labor vote for mayor of New York was about 68,000. It is such figures as these that make it so hard for the politicians to figure how the Empire state will go in the presi dential election of '88. of a large and desirable industry. This increase will amount to about $150,000 on each year's clip. The coast country is full of sharp business men. They will scarcely fail to see and seize the oppor tunity. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars has not to bo multiplied many times to become large enough to erect mills of ca pacity sufficient to work up the entire wool product of tho country west of the Rockies. STATE AND TERRITORIAL NEWS. An exchange says that Arlington is the largest wool-producing section in the United States. About 76,000 sheep are being driven from varioaa points in Oregon to Ne braska this year. Soundings on the bar last week showed twenty-two feet of water at about half tide, says the Coast Mail. A militia company has been organized at Corvallis with A. W. Smith as Cap tain, Jos. H. Wilsn, 1st Lieut., A. W. Jabez Hall, an aged and repu table painter, living near Mariana, Ark., advertised for a wife, and the answers were so numerous that he was at a loss how to choose. Hig gigantio intellect came to his rescue, however. He gave each applicant a number, and writing the number on separate cards, put them in a box and shook them up well. Then he blindfolded his liitle grandchild, and had her draw & card from the box. He is now corresponding with the lady to whom the card had been allotted, and it is probable that a wedding will result. Jonx P. Ritteb, the assistant manager of the New York clearing house, has probably seen and han dled more money than any other man in the world. He has been more than twenty-two years in the institution. All the money re ceived and paid out in balances passes through his hands. The daily balances run from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000, and in one instance as high as $15,000,000. Mr. Ritter has handled these vast sums day after day for years without mak ing an error of a penny. A rough estimate of the total amount that has passed through his hands at the clearing would be between $30,000,000,000 and $31,000,000, 000. This amount has not been handled in the form of notes, bonds or other negotiable securities, but in actual cash. The largest legal tender issued by the government is for $10,000. These bills are plentiful enough in clearing houses, where they greatly facili tate business, making it quite easy to handle the enormous sums nec essary from bank to bank each day. Ml Califobkia has 9,069,698 sheep; Oregon, 2,593,029; Washington, 555,439, and Nevada, 674,486 7,892,652 in all, over one-sixth of the sheep in the entire country. The wools from these sections have hertofore been sent to the eastern markets at 65 cents per 100 pounds freight. Under the action of the inter-statc commerce law the freight has been raised to 13.70 per 100 pounds. This is equivalent to a tax of 3 1-20 cents par pound of Pacific wools. This is no no light thrust at the vitals Rose, 2d Lieut. Ashland has a canned cook venison es tablishment, which did a profitable busi ness last year, and will continue opera tions this season. The line of the Oregon Pacific railroad is located forty-five miles east of Albany. Surreys will continue this season to the Malheur country, Eastern Oregon. A company has been formed to start a salmon cannery at Yaquina Bay. John Priest and Allan Parker, of Newport, and McCracken, of Portland, constitute the firm. The Malheur and Harney lakes were formerly separated by a large sand reef, but it is now said that, owing to a break made in the reef, they are united and snoula bo denominated as one lane, Lo3ses by fire on the Pacifio ooast dur ing the month of May, says the Pacifio underwriter, were $239,129, divided as follews: California, $218,800; Oregon, $2,362; 'Washington, G,320; Montana, $11,637. Elvin Miller killed a white deer on Brushy Ball, says a Curry county paper. The hoofs are also white, Mr. Miller has refused an offer of $10 for the skin. These skins are very rare and pass among the Indians for big money. "Walter Keyes has leased seventy-five feet water f rontago of his place at Muk ilteo. says the Seattle Times, with wharf and water privileges, to "W. T. Coleman, of Astoria, for the purpose of erecting a cannery. The maohinery and apparatus will be moved immediately, so as to be ready for this season's catch. Joy killed Mrs. Margaret Powell, of Samaria, Idaho. She was tbe widow of a soldier, and received notice that a pen sion of S12 per month, including $5,415 of baok pay, would be sent her on her forwarding the proper vouchers. The news so overcame her ihat she dropped dead as she was preparing for churoh. Nelson Bennett, the Cascade division contractor, says that the big bore in the Cascade mountains is new in 2,4G2 feet at the east end, and 2.536K at the west end. There remains to be bored 4,850 feet. Progress is being made at the rate of fifteen feet per day. It will take about a year to complete it. D. S. K. Buick, president of the state agricultural society, writes the state board of immigration at Portland, that he has engaged a gentleman to travel throughout the state and make a collec tion of grains and grasses for exhibition at the forthcoming state fair. As a foot .note he says: "A good many people are coming in nere now. uauxormans are the best. Th6y take hold promptly and don't wait to see if it will snow or rain the coming winter." Yesterdav morniae. for the first time in the history of Clifton, Oregon, says tne urcgonian oi tne a en, religions ser vices were held there, ur. x. jl. Elliot, pastor of the Unitarian church, was visit ing Messrs. J. W. & V. Cook, and they hastily built a "meetin' nonse. it was in the cannery warehouse. A lot of empty salmon boxes were used to make four walls, openings being left for a door in the rear and windows at the side. In the front the boxes wer piled so as to form a semi-circle, and directly in front of this tho pulpit was erected, also of salmon boxes. Boxes likewise served as seats. The congregation numbered sixty- three men. women and children, who listened with perfect attention to the scholarly, earnest, thoroughly Christian entieman, and ne appeared as mucn at tome in his novel surroundings as in his own comiortaoie cnurcn in roruanu. The religious service was complete with one excention. .No collection was made. Mr. Elliot, who is accompanied by his son "William, will leave Clifton in a few days for Clatsop beach. A PLUCKY WOMAN. Deputy constable George H. Ward returned last eveuiug from Astoria, bringing Mrs. Ella Turner and her three children. Mrs." Turner was ar rested on a warrant charging her with assault and battery, sworn to by Mrs. Colvin, who lives on Eleventh street in this citv. Mrs. Turner, who has ai vays borne : the reputation both in t-Veity and in Astoria of an honest, hnrd-working woman trying to bring up her children to be good citizens, was basely deserted by her husband, Frank Turner, captain of the steam boat Wanderer, about two years ago. For some reason he took from her the youngest child and has ever since kept it away from its mother. A few days 'ago the yearnings of a mother's heart prompted Mrs. Turner to come to Portland to see her cnua. upon mating inquiries she learned that the little one was in the care of Mrs. Colvin. Going to the latter's house she made known her wish, but she was refused admit tance her wish. She was not more surprised when her husband appeared upon the scene and said to the other weman: "Throw her out, her!'. Mrs. Turner expostulated at such treatment, and getting angry accused her husband and Mrs. Colvin of liv ing together in criminal intimacy. Thereupon Mrs. Colvin flew at Mrs. Turner, but the latter was as plucky as she was bold, and stopped her an tagonist's rush by a well aimed blow, planted with considerable force di rectly between the eye3. She imme diately followed up her advantage, and Mrs. Colvin got decidedly tho worst of the encounter. Hence the cause of Mrs. Turner's arrest. The case is on trial this afternoon before Justice Bushwiler, and is likely to take up the rest of the day. Telegram, 23. FIREWORK Of iLXl Descriptions and Nationalities.
