CO r i w gailtj gtfiovfaM. ASTOBIA. OREGON: blDAY. .AUGUST 7, 1SS7 So many new railroads are in course ol construction that the Chicago Hail way Age estimates the total new milcngejlaid and to be laid down in 1887 at not less than ten thousand miles. Tun cotton corner reduced exports o cotton for the three months, April, May and June, from $10,000,000 last year, to $lo,000,000 this year, and this loss o $25,000,000, due to manipula tion, represents the excess of imports over exports, which for the first six months of 1S87 was $27,000,000. It costs a snug sum of money to spend a summer in Saratoga. During the regular season the hotels consider that thev are doing a losing business if they charge less than $3 a day for a single room and board. Some of their cottage suits, which consist of a parlor and two or three bedrooms, are rented at $230 a week. Bradstreexs has summarized the .strikes of the first six mouths of 18S7 and compared them with those of the j,ame period last year. This year the number of strikes was 523, with 231,-7:3-1 laborers, as against 1G9 strikes and 3G3.393 laborers for the first half of 1880. "While the number of strikes was trebled this year, the number of employes involved has been a third less than in the first half of 18SG. IIicics, a British Columbia pilot, has been ordered not to navigate in Pnget Sound waters by Captain Bryant, government inspector of hulls lor the Port Townsend district "British Columbia pilots should not be allowed to come into American waters and compete with American pilots," says the inspector, "and if the customs officers fail to attend to the matter, we inspectors will take a hand in the affair ourselves."' An investigating committee of the Georgia legislature has succeeded in obtaining figures showing the im mense profits made by the lessees of the penitentiary convicts. It is esti mated, on the basis of nearly 1,G00 convicts in all the camps, that the lessees' share of profit from the labor is $73,000 annually on a low calcula tion, while the state is satisfied with $25,000. The lessees are prominent Georgians, including a United States senator. The president, in reply to a tele gram from senator Harris of Tennes see, saying a committee of 100 citizens of Memphis was coming to "Washing ton to invite him to visit that city dur ing his western trip, telegraphed to the senator to use his influence to pre vent any movement of the sort The president said he would be pleased to see the people of Tennessee at the capital, but that they ought to be spared the long journey to "Washing ton during the heated term on a mission of this sort when written in vitations, sent by mail, would be as effective and as much appreciated. The death last month of Robert M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, leaves only two men surviving who "seceded" from the United States senate at the beginning of the war. Thoy are Jef ferson Davis of Mississippi and T. "L. Clingman of North Carolina. Mr. Hunter died in extreme poverty, a disappointed and neglected old man, who felt that he had deserved better of Ids native state and of the first Democratic administration since the war. He was the youngest speaker ever chosen by the house of repre sentatives; for fifteen years he was a enator of the United States, and served for twelve years as chairman of the committee on finance, when such men as Seward, Fessenden, Sumner, James A. Bayard, Toombs, Benjamin, Douglas and Bigler were members of it "When the secession plot was laid Hunter was on the "slate" of the southern leaders for the presidency of the so-called "Confederate States," but he was outwitted by Davis, Ben jamin and other shrewd politicians from the gulf states. Important to Homesteaders. In two cases of the United States vs. Ball, Daniel and Powell, charged with tho unlawful conversion of tim ber cut from tho public lauds, judge Deady in the TJ. S. circuit court yes terday held, that where a settler un der the homestead law has made his final proof and obtained his final certificate that ho is ia a condition of a purchaser of the land and the timber from the United States, and the latter cannot maintain an action against him for damages for cutting timber off the land prior to the is suance of his certificate, nor against any third person to whom he may havo disposed of it, for the conver sion of the same. To put the decis ion in few words; If A. takes B's horse and sells him to C, and after wards pays B for it, then B has no action against O for the horse or his increase. In the above two and an other case against the same parties, mere were sundry motions to strike out parts of the answers, which were disallowed. Oregonian, C. ABBREVIATED BATHIKG SUITS. I had heard so little about Ilwaco and Clatsop and Yaquina this season that I had quite forgotten all about the sea snore. It was all brought back to me the other evening when I made a society call. The young lady iu question is one of the sweetest girls in Multnomah county. She is bright, all-dutiful to her parents, and addicted to fashion in the extreme, except in bathing suits. The evening was warm and everybody said so. The young lady mentioned the weather sub ject first, and seemingly delighted when the group launched forth on its discus sion. Several times daring the talk sho cast little glances at me and made furtive beckonings very much like a fish might with its fins. I first thought it was a new nervous disease that society hnd acquired for its exclusive use, but presently I 'tumbled," and going over to the young damsel with a book in my hand ond some sang frold, I gave her the former so as to disarm suspicion and throttle envy. She gave me her confidence and hand in an appealing soft way, and in low anxious accents asked me which was to be the best and most fashionable ocean resort this summer. The sweet cirl. assuming a sad tone and languid position, said that the pro duce business hadn't been verv good this year for papa, and she couldn't go so far away; but she'd go to (JIatsop, and it it wasn't good there she'd go somewhere else. "And now," she said, "if I onlv dared to show vou mv new bathing suit?" I effusively told her I could stand it if sho could, and using the book for another white lie wo glided into the library. Sho went up stairs as though Heaven was at the upper end, and came down as though she had been mistaken. She is a tall girl fully five feet eight, if she's an inch, and when sho held up before her high enough to blush unseen a bathing suit, two feet six inches long, I could only 8ay, "your little sister will look just too sweet for anything in that" "It's for me, not for the kid." and her laugh rippled up stairs, then down into the parlor making everyone happy but myself. How could I be happy with a five foot eight girl tell ing me she was going to wear a two foot six garment, with a hundred yards lying between her starting point and sufficient water to hide herself? When I triedto sneak, there was enough husk in my voice to clothe an ear of corn. And the wee pants edged off with lace they weren't any longer than a moment of blis3. Thoy looked like tho youngest in a large family of half-grown Knickerbockers, and were of bluo chintz. They were n French poem of two short liuef. Tho sleeves consisted of two silk cords tied in a bow just wide enough to leave a little red mark, I should imagino, if drawn lightly. At tho ends there were two tassels to frolic with her vaccination mark. There was a waist to the thing and a short skirt of flannel, striped in blue and white, but of such length as not to fray the lace on the pants. I was much relieved when informed that the suit was not complete without stockings with lace flaps and other exterior decora tions upon tho skirt. I havo serious doubts in my mind as to whether this young lady will dare to wear tho suit un less she dons a flour barrel in making the run from tho bath house to four feet of water. "Wo shall see I mean I hope we won't. Hut the fact is we are making advances every summer. Our girls won der why it is that no marriage engage ments come up out of the ocean spraj' at the sea shore. One of the principal reas ons is, that the lady bathers dress too clumsily. The matrimonially inclined young man sees too much slouchy skirt, bedraggled in the sand and clinging to divine forms in such a way as to make the d. f s. look look like poles stuck into gunny sacks. My word for it, Clatsop and Ilwaco in their cool innocence assisted by ill-formed bathing suits have done more to frustrate wedlock and lessen marriage fees than cold indifference and poverty. Kothing appeals to my better nature more strong ly than modesty in a girl. Even an as sumed modesty should pass without tho taint of counterfeit; but there is nothing of the kind in any of tho outrageous bathing suits which for seasons past havo excited only ridicule at our sea shore. I won't suggest anything; nor do I believe in suggestive bathing suits.- The Pacific coast, the Lord knows, is loud enough already, and will keep it up I fear; but the last time I was at Manhattan beach my attention was directed to two lady bathers; one an actress tho other a very respectable society light, against whom not a word could be said. Yet, because of her bathing suit, sho got the admiring glances of the men and the frowns of tho women. She stood at the brink of tho ocean, waiting for her husband to join her in the surf plunge; she was all red I mean hor stockings were of that color. She wore a combination of sailor shirt and a short skirt very much like a nigh landers' kilt. These were of white flan nel. The collar was turned back upon the shoulders and drawn together with a large croamy bow in front Her trousers to speak of small matters peeped just below nor skirt, all edged with lace, very much of the style of the suit I saw the other night Aside from tho long and full show of stockings there was nothing that struck me as immodest. I saw no one else that was really shocked. And yet, at Ilwaco I have felt my spine quiver and my face grow hot at the sight of a Mother Hubbard. The rctress of whom we expected more or less, aB the case might bo, was in full Bloomer costume with only her arms bare. "When sho came from the water by some mysterious arrangement tho bloomer was still bloom ing Idled out with no semblance of limp or bagginess. I think there is a golden mean between the two extremes, and the questions is, who will striko this happy medium? RcnibrmuU In Sun day welcome.

On the 25th of last March she closed hor books in school and went home to lend a sister's kind hand and to soothe the fevered brow of loved ones there. Night and day her gentle hand did all that a loving sister and dutiful daughter could do. But she contracted the fever in the discharge of her duties and fell a victim after a severe lingering illness of two months. For them sho gave her noble life and fell. "Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep." She was noble in heart and her soul seemed to spread a hallowed influence on every surrounding mind. Sho carried those winning ways and Christian graces that are seldom found in one so yoasg. She was the jewel of the family and the pride of society. In all her walks in life she bore the noble spirit of. meekness and sorrow took the place of anger. She was beautiful in form and face, and more so on account of her affable manners. In school she was kind and faithful, and gave great promise of a useful life, but the Archangel of Death steDned in with a smile and carried that beautiful spirit to the haven of rest beyond the troubled waves of life. Around her lovely form, in the chamber of death, gorgeously dec orated with floral tributes, the majesty of the people mingled their tears to the unrcplying dead. High hearted friends droop Iiko faded flowers upon her breast, and the struggling sigh compels the tears in eyes that seldom weep. Her cherished iurm uieepa uesmo tnose or ner grand mother and grandfather in Clatsop ceme tery near tho never ceasing voice of the plaintive Pacific, where the fir and cedar kiss, tho morning breeze and sing a requiem to the dead, but her beautiful spirit, accompanied by tho angels, have swept past tho golden gato of that celes tial city, and her robes fan the zephyrs of that paradisoical garden resplendent with heavenly colors, while her voice joins in tho songs of the angels that sing iu unison before tho lamb of God.
