ASTORIA. OREGON:
WEDNESDAY JULY 13. 1687
The national federation of labor
has an enrolled membership of
860,000.
The cotton crop of Texas this
year is estimated to roach 1,500,-
600 bales.
i t
The value of the coal produced
last year in the United States was
worth $147,112,755.
"
Dosing the first two weeks of
June 6,000 men struck, nearly all
for an advance of wages.
The state department has re
ceived no information in regard to
the reported massacre of China
men in Idaho territory. The Chi
nese legation is equally ignorant.
m t
The shipments of wheat from
this country to Europe during the
year jnst ended amounted to 154,
000,000 bushels being the larg
est amount exported in any one
year on record, with the single ex
ception of 1881.

It is expected that a conference
of leaders in the Democratic party
will be held in Washington soon,
when an effort will be made to
harmonize the party on the tariff
question. Randall is not expected
to be present.
These is some talk in southern
California of establishing a new
state. The claim is made that the
people voted for state division in
1860 and by a two-thirds vote con
sented to a separation, and that
there is no need of. an election
now.
The canvass for the New York
city direotory for 1887, has just
been completed. It will contain
the names and residences of about
320,000 persons, an increase over
last year of 7,000, and from which
the publishing company estimates
a population of about 1,600,000.
England is wholly dependent
upon foreign sources for her sup
ply of cotton, buying 1,050,000,
000 pounds of the 1,490,000,000
pounds she consumes from the
United States. Her raw cotton
consumed costs her $185,000,000,
add she sells the goods manu
factured therefrom at $420,000,000.
. m
The press in the east is strong
ly opposed to the. admission of
Utah as a state until the people
Kaye shown by their aots that their
expressed opinion against polyga
my in the constitutional conven
tion is more than words. The
atates are only willing to recog
nize Utah's right to an equal posi-
tion among them after a long pro
bation. '
A Washington correspondent
says that in the navy department
"Commodore Walker has practi
cally usurped about all the powers
that ought to belong to secretary
Whitney and admiral Porter."
Walker has great influence as head
of the bureau of navigation. He
has not been at sea since 1881.
The last time he had oommand of
a ship (the Powhatan) he ran her
ashore, and since then he has boy
cotted the raging main.
The tender of the Canadian Pa
cific railway for the English mail
service is as follews: It has of
fered to contract for the ocean
service at a speed of fifteen instead
of eleven -knots, and to build its
boats under the admiralty's super
vision, so that they may be readily
converted into armed cruisers, for
a subsidy of 10,000 per annum;
in addition to this it also offers to
carry the China and Japanese
mails for 3,500 miles across the
continent of America free of
charge; also to carry troops and
government stores over the same
distance of land over the ocean at
cost price, thus making the routs
an imperial highway.
Terrible Pahu.
DR. FLINT'S HEART REMEDY
bftnishM tickbeadache, and -will pre

rtaoe.of an attack. At druggists
IU0. Descriptive treatise with each
b4tle; or address J. J. Mack & Co.,
A LoflfJ Way Up the Hirer.
The following is from the Baker
City Democrat, which declares that
it is as "true as 03pel." A few days
since James Holcomb. proprietor of
Sturgill bar on Snake river, was rid
ing along the bank of the river, when
he saw a large sturgeon lying in two
and a half or three feet of water, ap
parently asleep. The fish's head
would bob up and the tail down, then
the tail would up and the head down.
Jim looked a long time at the fish,
and finally the thought struck him
that he wanted that fish, bnt the
only thing he had to kill or capture
it with was a lasso and plenty of
rocke. So he took his rope and
walked quietly into the water and up
behind his fishship and dropped the
rope over his taiL He did not dare
cignien on tne rope until ne nau dis
abled the fish; so he took up a large
rock and when the head came up he
let the stone ge: and ho made a splen
did shot and hit it square on the
head and stunned the fish. Then he
drew the fish to the bank, tied it to a
tree and finished it with a pocket
knife. The fish was nine feet seven
inohes long and weighed over 500
pounds.
Believed to Be Trne.
The Chinese hereabouts are appre
hensive that all the Chinese mining
camps on Snake river have been
wiped out, says the Idaho Free Press.
They say there are fifty or siity Chi
nese mining on the Oregon side of
Spake river about forty miles above
Lewiston, and from the mutilated re
mains of Chinamen that have floated
down they expect that either Indians
or whites have raided the camp and
killed off the entire bunch. The Chi
nese in Lewiston are strongly exer
cised over the matter and have sent
up four scouts to look around, and
are also corresponding with the Chi
nese Minister at Washington to in
vestigate the matter.

Tlie Verdict Unanimous .
W. D. Suit, Drugeist Bippus. Ind.,
testifies: "I can recommend .hiectnc
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief In every case
One man took six bottles, and was cured
of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing.'
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi
cine I have ever handled in my 20 years'
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou
sands of others have added their testi
mony, so that the verdict Is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of
the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a
