A party of excursionists start this

The San Francisco coast seamen's
union has posted a new schedule of
wages on coasting, lumber and coal
vessels. The rates are 850 a month
to open ports, 845 to bar harbors, and
$40 to islands, or an increase of 85
all around over rates throughout the
summer.
Fall fish of excellent quality is be
ing packed on both sides of the river.
Some of that which is packed on this
side comes from Shoalwater bay; the
bulk of it is brought from Washing
ton territory, where September is an
open month. After the first of next
month the fall fishing will be more
extensive, as after that date there will
be no question as to legality.
At last, says the Journal, the post
office department have come to the
rescue of Shoalwater bay, and have
ordered a new letting of contract.
Postmaster Morehead received in
structions Wednesday to advertise
for service beginning November 1st,

formerly run under, i. e., leave here

stage, and return the following day.
Warren must have been "fired."
News comes all the way from Oma
ha, says the News, that a big row is
brewing in the Union Pacific between
president Adams and vice president
and general manager T. J. Potter,
and that one or the other must neces
sarily resign. The latter persists in
sweeping out office-holders right and
left -'and his broom occasionally
strikes a favorite of the president's.
In such cases Mr. Adams holds that
he 4s- entitled to name successors,
whieh Potter disputes, and on this
basis the two forces stand arrayed
against each other.
An Interesting Piece of News.
It is announced on excellent
authority that the largest shipping
firm in Portland has bonded all of
Geo. W. Hume's property in this
city, a shrewd piece of business on
their part, Mr. Hume's property is
valuable, consisting of some water
frontage in the heart of the city that
will be of extreme value in the mat
ter of- warehouses and shipping facil
ities. The gentlemen who have bond
ed this property recognize its value
and the business necessities of the
hour. . .

A Proffer of Terminal Facilities.
The following appears on one of
the subscription lists, and consti
tutes a handsome addition to the in
ducements that will guarantee a rail
road to the seaport of Oregen:
Ground for terminal facilities on
Henry Martin land claim with water
frontage not exceeding 2,000 (two
thousand) feet, fronting as per dia
gram to be submitted to Mr. J. H.
Woodward when $150,000 (one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars) is
subscribed:
Previded: The terminus of the
road shall be located thereon.
Yis Dusen and Bboveh.
With this is subscribed by the es
tate of A. Van Dosen the sum of S5,
000. The Gray's Ilarbor Trouble.
The Astobian is informed that
the eight men indicted for malicious
mischief in cutting traps, etc., at
Gray's harbor, were unable to fur
nish the bail required, and were yes
terday started for Olympia, where
they will languish in jail till the next
term of court, in May, '88. They
were indicted, each on three counts,
with bail fixed at $300 for each in
dictment, which was afterwards
lumped at $500 each, ancMhis, not be
ing forthcoming, they had to go to
jail. There is such a feeling on the
harbor among residents and men who
have their homes there that if there
is a repetition of such depredations
the perpetrators may consider them
selves lucky it they have a chance to
go to jail.

Adjourned till 930 a. m., Sept. 2-L
la the Graveyard.
Strolling through the Hillside cem
etery in the bright September sun
light, where the new, fresh mound
and the moB3y stone half hidden from
the eye told the same eternal story,
he who accompanied us said, stop
ping at an old, old relic of poor mor mer
tality: "It makes me sad to stand by an
old grave like this. It is so strange
to think that these people all these
lying around us here were living
once. They walked about the
streets, and went in and out, and
loved and hated, and enjoyed and suf
fered. They lived whole great
worlds of their own, and now even
their names are lost, bnt for the
record on these stones." He looked
beyond the narrow mound with
frightened eyes. "Oh, it terrifies me
so to think that they lived all this
bright, joyful, happy life, and now
they are nothing."
"They lived, loved and were happy;
at least, let us suppose so, since it is
more comfortable to suppos.e that
than the reverse. And see, this one
lived more than eighty years. Was
not that enough? One can run the
whole gamut of life's experiences in
eighty years. And then he must
have been a good man, for see, his
epitaph is filled with good advice to
future 'generations. If he had been
wicked it would have been devoted
to setting forth his transcendent
piety. A very bad man always be
comes a saintly character after he
goes into his grave thereby creating
in the minds of moral economists ttie
pious wish that he had retired sooner
to that sanctifyfng retreat" -

Give Them a Chance!
That is to say, your lnngs. Also
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous
ands of little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do theii
work. And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu
monia, catarrh, cousumptionor any of
the family of throat and nose and head
and lung obstructions, all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There is
just one sure way to get rid of them.
