The workmen in the two- ends of the big Siskiyou tunnel expected to meet yesterday. The franchise has been granted and Seattle is to have a cable road within six months. Theregular meeting of the cham ber of commerce will be held to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock. From 150,000 to 200,000 feet of logs per day are taken out over the Puget Sound and Grav's Harbor railroad. The bright weather yesterday fore noon gave place to a cloudy sky in the afternoon and by evening a light rain was falling. A good many teams are" kept busy these days delivering the winter's supply of wood and coal to the provi dent and far-seeing. The receipts of the Eescue club from various sources is stated to be more than sufficient to cancel the in debtedness incurred. The subject of the morning sermon in the Baptist church will be "Chris tian Education;" in the evenhig'The Gospel of Radicalism." Mrs. Leland Stanford last Friday gave five hundred dollars each to the Children's Home and the Boys and Girls Aid society of Portland. Wouldn't it be a good plan for senator Stanford to have a line of railroad built down this way so that he' could then visit the seaport of Oregon in his private coach? If ho will let us know when he is coming we'll make him a present of the finest salmon that can be taken from the Columbia river, and there are some mighty fine fish in that stream. A writer says, there should be no pleasure in dwelling upon the details of wretched lives and squalid homes, but we who live in comfort should know of the miseries of others, not only by way of learning to be thank ful for our own greater blessings, but that we may feel inspired to give from the store that has been given us for the relief of the destitute who are, probably, as much the children of God as we are. The mate of the ship Blue Jacket, at Seattle, had a close call a few days since. They were loading coal and the hatohes having run, he got upon the coal to close the chute. The coal passers were beneath him, and pull ing away the coaL This allowed him to slide down into the hold, and the coal came pouring in and buried him save only his head. The chute was closed just in time or else he mnst have been buried entire. He was dug out considerably bruised. The Gen. Miles arrived in last evening eight hours from Gray's harbor. She brought over 1,925 cases of salmon. The fish are reported running well and of extra large size. The troubles between the canneries and fishermen have quieted down, but there are but few fishermen out and the traps are disabled so that the supply of fish, is short In conse quence of the reduced number of boats those that do go out get a good number to the boat, and are doing well. Some of the canners hope for a peaceful settlement of the trouble that will enable them to take advan tage of the fine run of fish, while oth ers have about abandoned all hope of profitable work this season, and intend " shortly to shut up their mess houses. Several fishermen came over on the Miles yesterday. PERSONAL MENTION. J. C. Ross went to Portland yester day on the Telephone. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Ross leave to morrow on a visit to The Dalles.

Washington, Sept. 17. -Another water famine is upon the greater por tion of this city, caused by the third break within u short time of a 309 inch main whicli supplies all of the city north of L street. This break is the most serious which has yet oc curred, and it is feared that the northern part of tke city will bo with out water for some days to come. The break occurred about 3 o'clock this morning without any warning; suddenly, and with a loud report, the water spouted up into the air. Resi dents in the neighborhood were startled by the noise, and iu a few minutes the vicinity of the accident was alive with excited and alarmed people. L street from Nineteenth to Twenty-first was one great river, -the water pouring along like a torrent and deep enough to float boats. The damage to property is considerable, but this is as nothing compared to the inconveniences of thousands of citizens and to certain disaster in case of fire. The public wells were exhausted at an early hour, and crowds of people with bnckets iu hand were walking from place to place trying to obtain enough to pre pare their morning meal. best Tnnnn hkats.

From 9 o'clock this morning until 1030, president Cleveland stood in the com missioners' room and shook hands with young and old, rich and poor as they passed in a continuous proces sion before him.

THE WATERWAY ASS0UIATI0K. Proceedings of the Executive Committee PoirriiAKD, Sept. 17. The execu tive committee of the Columbia Waterway associatiou met this morn iug in the parlors of the St Charles hotel. The proceedings of the late session at Astoria were read by the secretary. The committee ordered twenty-five hundred copie3 of the proceedings of the convention to be printed. The matter of the seal and lithographic cer tificates was left to the secretary with instructions to procure a suit able seaL One thousand certifi cates of membership, to be issued, will be furnished all desiring to be come members of the association for So each. In the matter of assessments to meet the immediate expenses of work delegated to the committee, the chairman of the committee, with the approval of the members present made the following assessment, to be paid to Wm. H. Brewster, the secre tary, at Vanceuver: Portland board of trade, seventy five dollars; Astoria chamber of com merce, forty-five dollars; The Dalles board of trade, forty-live dollars; Cowlitz county commissioners, eight een dollars; Franklin county com missioners, twenty-seven dollars; Gilliam county commissioners, twenty-three dellars: Pacific, Chehalis, and Wahkiakum counties, eighteen dol lars; Vancouver board of trade, fif teen dollars; Clark county commis sioners, fifteen dollars; La Camas, fifteen dollars. The question of raising two thou sand dollars and the appointment of a suitable person to act as statisti cian, receive membership and collect data, occasioned considerable discus sion. It was finally decided to have Wm. H Brewster authorized and del egated to act as statistician, to trav el from place to place, receive mem berships and report progress. The Portland board of trade con tributes five hundred of the two thou sand dollars required, or one-fourth oHhe total sum raised. The com niitteo adjourned at one r. m., sub ject to call of tho chairman. Perilous Trip. The little steamer Rowena, which left here some time since for Shoal water bay, had a rather perilous trip from Astoria around. Those on board were warned of the danger of nttemphug to cross the bar in such a frail craft After two failures a third attempt was made. The littlo craft had no sooner got out among the breakers than nil on board wished themselves ashore, but the pilot said it was impossible to turn about and the water being too deep to wade they proceeded. They dared not turn the boat's head to the north, as it would have brought her into the trough of the sea, when she would have been immediately swamped. So she was kept head to the sea, and they had to run out for thirty miles before they dared to head her for Shoalwater. The engineer had his hands full, bailing with One and fir ing with the other, and they managed to get inside just as the fog shut down, and with only three sticks of wood left If that crew have to bring that boat back they will carry her up the beach and launch her at II waco. One fellow went round in the Rowena just for the fun, and he got his satisfy. Oregon ian, 17. A. Sound JLt'gal Opinion. K.

The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and won derful things in existence. It is easily pnttout 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 tho American people a nation of dyspeptics. But Greens Angust Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business nnd making tho American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Bemember: Jio happiness without health. Bnt Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask yonr druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. Natural Gas in 1827.
