The government agents sent here from Washington City, says the 'Portland Telegram, to gather statis tical matter, have ascertained from the records in the clerk's office in the .county that for the past twenty years gay from July 1, 1867, to June 30, 1887, eight hundred decrees of di- -Toroe were granted -in Multnomah county. ' - The American ship Mercury, at Port Townsend, has been sold for 1 12,000 to the Port Blakeley Mill company. The Mercury was built in 1851 in New York and was purohased - and, used by the city of New York in 1872 for a training-ship, similar to the industrial school.

Carruthers fe MoTavish have a fine piece of land on Young's river above Granger's hall, which they are diking in a substantial manner, the dyke, in some places, being twenty feet at the base.

The annual pamphlet issued by the government giving the "tide tables for the Pacific Coast," has already been published for the year 188S. It comprises tide tables for a fewstations in .Lower California, British Colum bia and Alaska territory, in addition to'stations in California, Oregon and Washington territory. The work of compiling tide tables -for the use of navigators on the Atlantic and Pa cific seaboards "was begun by the United States coast survey in 1856, and it has reached a great degree of perfection in the present form of publication. Following is-the description of a spurious note furnished by chief offi cer Brooks, of the Federal secret ser vice of the'treasury at Washingten: "A note purporting to,,, be a 82 silver certificate is oHt invtbe northwest, printed from a wood cut and bearing no resemblance to any government issue of silver certificates. It has a spread eagle on right end face of note and two Indians onleft end one standing, the other kneeling. It has a square green back, with the word 'silver' In white capitals in cen ter of back. Its workmanship is so very crude no person should be de ceived into accepting it as a thing of value." m . j A Story of Natural Gas. Two hundred years ago in China there was just such a craze about natural gas as we have in this coun try to-day. Gas wells were sunk with as much vim and vigor as the celes tials were capable of. but owing to a gas explosion that killed several mill ions of people and tore up and de stroyed a large district of country, leaving a large inland sea, kown on the maps a3 Lake Foo Chang, the boring of any more gas wells was then and there prohibited by law. It seems according to the Chinese history, that many large and heavy pressure gas wells were struck, and in some districts wells were sunk close to each other. Gas was lighted as soon as struck, as is done in this country. It is stated that one well with its unusual pressure, by induction or back draught pulled down into the earth the burning gas of a small well, result ing in a dreadful explosion of a large district, destroying the inhabitants thereof. Lake Foo Chang rests on this district The same catastrophe is imminent in this country unless the laws shall restrict further devel opments in boring so many wells. Should a similar explosion occur there will be such an upheaval as will dwarf the most terrible earthquake ever known. The country along the gas belt from Toledo through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will be ripped up to a depth of 1,200 to 1,500 feet and flopped over like a pancake, leav ing a chasm through which the waters of Lake Erie will come howling down, filling the Ohio and Mississip pi valleys and blotting them out for ever.

Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually pre scribed.. HAMBURG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will be found pleasant to the taste of women and children. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors. S. F. Her Bustle Was Off. "Oh, it was perfectly awful," said ono young woman to another in a street car which bad stopped on the Lake street switch the other day. "I was lying in the hammock," she went on, "and was dressed in my pink nun's veiling and, if I do say it, you know I look pretty nice in that and he was sitting in a porch chair beside me. It was a lovely evening, for- there wasn't a sign of a moon, and even the street lamp on the corner was not lighted. Wo were having a delight ful time, and he grew morp and mora affectionate. Oh, it was delightful. Ho held one of my hands, and kept the ham mock gently swaying back and forth. Finally ho leaned toward me, his faco almoBt to mine, and I know ho was just about to say something awfully nice when what do you think the hammock string broke!

Mrs. Abernethy and daughter are visiting friends in this city. Lieut-Col. C. A. Reynolds, deputy Q. M. general, goes to J? ort Canby to day on official business. W. H. Gray, who was seriously in jured some time ago, is rapidly re covering, and will soon be able to be on the street again. In Brief, Anil to the Point. Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and won derful things in existence. It i3 easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Remember: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. The Calf Was Passed, J. H. Woodward, of the Wabash, relates a funny incident that came under his observation while at Fourth and Townsend streets on Tuesday. A man came into the of fice of Stephen T. Gage, assistant to the president of the Southern Pacific company, and asked for a stock shippors' pass. It wa3 observed by Mr. Gage that the man was careful to avoid any mention of tho extent of his animal shipments, although his right to pass privileges was urged with all possible earnestness. "You want jour pass from Oakland to Martinez, do yon?" asked Mr. Gage. "Yes," was the reply. "And your stock is going the same distance?" "Yes." "Three or four carloads, I sup pose?" "Well, no." "How much, then?" Tho shipper hemmed and hawed and finally admitted that tho ship ment consisted of one calf, but he hastened to add that it was a large e. "Well, I'll tell you," sad governor Stanford's assistant, "good-naturedly, "I can't give yon a pass, but I'll give one to the calf. It will be cheaper to hanl it over than it will be to haul you. The stock shipper secured the order for the deadheading of the young bovine, and then he went out in a reflectivemood and bought a HOKec io luarunez. o. x. uiruiiicie. Kspld Be&tln? or tho Heart.

Brown "Wish I had your luck. And how about the wheat deal?" Robinson "Oh, we skinned 'em alive. Brown, skinned 'emalive." Omaha World. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at W. E. Dement & Co.'s Drug Store as their giv ing away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valu able article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Cougn'?. Cokls, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat and lung dkeases quickly cured. You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size Si. Bvery bottle warranted.
