Up to noon yesterday tho sun was
hot and an east wind made people
seek the shady side of the street. As
the sun crossed the meridian the
wind shifted to the west, a cool breeze
from the Paoific blew through the
streets, and the listless, dry languor
that the east wind always brings, gave
way to the delicious freshness of feel
ing and buoyancy of frame that is an
unfailing accompaniment of our brac
ing western breeze.
Senator Dolph said last Monday
that he proposed to see that a num
ber of appropriations for the improv
ment of rivers and harbors of Oregon
should be increased. He thinks the
state has been neglectodby the house
committee, and as he is a member of
the committee on commerce in the
senate, to which the bill has been re
ferred, be will take the opportunity
to enlarge the appropriation for Ore
gon. He said that the committee
was at work upon the bill, and would
in all probability have it done in
three or four weeks.

The Columbia Canning company of
this city yesterday made an assign
ment to C. W. Fulton. On nccount
of its" commercial relations with Wm.
T. Coleman & Co., the recent assign
ment ot that firm makes it necessary
to have a business settlement, and to
facilitate matters an' assignment has
been made, Tho cannery is doing
well and it is believed will make
money this season. If allot the in
vestments and business enterprises
ot Wm. T. Coleman & Co. were as
satisfactory financially as his Colum
bia river salmon ventures and trans
actions thev wonldbemany million
dollars on the right side of the
ledger.
The Thistle Packing Co., another
ot W. T. Coleman & Co.'s agency can
neries, also made an assignment yes
terday afternoon. These two with
the Aberdeen Canning company are
the only canneries in this vicinity
in which Wm. T. Coleman & Co. were
interested at the time of their failure.
They have, however, several impor

Cincinnati. May 15. The national
convention of the union labor party
was called to order at noon with 28
states represented.
S. F. Morton of Chicago wa3
chosen temporary chairman. After
the opening address and the appoint
ment of the usual committees
the convention adjourned till two
o'clock. It is clear that the chief
difficulty before the convention will
be preparing a platform. The green
backers at their conference last night
made but little progress toward
merging into the new party. The
drift of the sentiment is iu favor of
holding fast to their name and the
leading principles of the organization.

principles of land tax is repugnant
to tne greater portion of the union
labor men.
THE M. E. CONFEBENCE.
New Yobk, May 15. At the Tues
day session of the Methodist confer
ence bishop Andrews presided. The
roll call of the conference was taken

be the last call. The board offered a
resolution providing for extending
enquiry as to organic union of the
Methodist Episcopal church still
further and include tho African
Methodist Episcopal church and nil
boundaries of Methodism in the
country. This was referred to the
committee on state and church.
The report of the general confer
ence committee on consolidation,
unification and reorganization of
church benevolences was Lauded in
and occasioned a spirited debate.
The report recommended the con
solidation of all missionary societies,
church and board of foreign missions,
consolidation of board of home mis
sions and church extensions, consoli
dation ot Sunday school union and
tract society. It also recom
mended that a commission be
appointed to determine what proper
ty held for missionary purpo3e3 in
this country shall be conveyed to tho
board of home missions nnd church
extension and also to make equitable
division of tho assets of the society.

A BADLY INJURED 3IAN.
Samuel Ternahan, a young man of
Green's noint. on tho Columbia, was
badly injured by n rolling log yesterday
morning, and was brought to this city
last night on the Bonita. Tho steamer
arrived in about 7 SO o'clock, and ho was
at once taken to St. Vincent's hospital.
The accident happened at Mr. Tema
han's logging camp, at Green's point,
which is near Bradbury, Or., about half
way between Portland nnd Astoria.
About 10 o'clock A. M. Mr. Ternahan
was handling five yoke of oxen with five
largo logs. He had started to come down
a very steep skid road when the logs took
a start, and before he could get oat of
tho way one of the larcest of them caught
his foot and carried him under, drag
ging him along the ground for a distance
of three rods, when it came to a stop
against an embankment. It was found
impossible to extricate tho wounded man
until wedges and jackscrews were brought
to bear. Eight men worked three-quarters
of an hour before they were able to
relieve him from his position. Tho log
that rolled on him was a very largo one
and would scale 2400 feet. The injured
man was conscious throughout the day,
giving orders how he should be extricat
ed, and that ho should be at once re
moved to his home, which was of course
done. Dr. Harry Cliff having been telo
graphed for, met the boat at St. Helens
and carefully dressed the man's injuries
on the way up. Mr. Ternahan is a young
man of 21 years, the eldest son of F. Ter
nahan, an old-timer, who came to Ore
gon twenty-five years ago. His father
and young wife (he having been married
only seven months) accompanied him to
this city. Ho is a young man of rino
physique, and of steady and industrious
habits. He was working at his own logging-camp
getting out logs for Hogue &
Young of Oak Point. Oregon ifui 15.
PROM BOSTON'.
Boston, May 8 th, 1883.
Editor Asterian: Our Gloucester
mackerel fleet aro fitting out for June
8th, the expiration of the close sea
son. The market is bare ot this class
of fish. Tho cod fleet will be large the
coming season from Labrador to
Cape Cod. The feeding demand ot
the world is large, nnd fishermen
have no excuse for idleness. The
fishing capacity ot our continent is
limitless.
New England is taking increased
quantity of your salmon tinned. It
is a commerce that will grow as the
magnitude of resource on your
shores enable the cannerymen to
utilize the machinery of canning to a
very low cost. Its great volume is
capable of carrying into its commerce
men of great intelligence and busi
ness capacity.
The wires inform us of the failure
of your great commercial house, W.
T. Coleman & Co. Tho regret is not
confined to Boston, but extends all
over the country. It illustrates the
meaning of tho maxim, "human en
terprises are limitless, but alas capac
ity is a function of limit." W. S.
What The "News" Hears.
It ho3 been rumored on the streets
for some time that the O. R- & N. Co.
have been negotiating with the Wil
lamette River Steamboat company
for a lease of their steamer Multno
mah. It has also been rumored that
Mr. Jacob Kamm and Capt. U. B.
Scott would work together in trying
to capture tho seaside trade this sea
sou. Although tho News is very reliably
informed that both of the above ru
mors are well founded, they have not
been officially con firmed. Mr. Kamm,
with the two fleet boats, the Undine
and Lurline, would be a valnablo
addition to the Columbia River
Transportation company's forces.
It looks ns though the O. R. k. X.
Co. with its numerous boats, is going
to make a hard fight for the seaside
trade this year, and it stands Messrs.
Kamm and Scott in hand to doublo
up their forces. Portland News, 15.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malarin was com
paratively unknown, to-day it isas
common as any word in tho English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of nnother word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousncss,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose of ibe
b.le through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. Yon
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous. It Only Needs a Little Paxil.
A competent engineer states that a
railroad from Astoria to Clatsop
beach would of necessity be very ex
pensive. The ground on the west
side of Young's river is very marshy
and would necessitate piling nnd
trestling the greater part of the
whole distance. Such work would
cost So or S6 a foot or an expense of
over $25,000 a milo. Even nt this
great cost the road would undoubt
edly b-3 a paying investment, could
capitalists be induced to venture
their money upon its constuction.
While there are so many other cer
tain means ot making money bear the
fruit of large interest, it is difficult
to obtain it for the less lucrative pur
pose of developing the country and
enlarging its resources and capabili
ties. uregoman, io.
Merit Wins.
We desire to say to our citizens, that
we have been selling Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King's
New Life Pills. Bucklen's Arnica Salve
and Electric Bitters, and have never
handled remedies that sell as well, or
that have given such universal satisfac
tion. We do not hesitate to guarantee
them every time, and we stand ready to
refund the purchase price, if satisfac
tory results do not follow their use.
These remedies have won their great
popularity purely on their merits. Jno.
