It is said ihat Captain W. P. Gray,
of Pasco, will command tho largo
steamer being built at that place for
the Salmon river route. The captain
knows the upper Columbia river bet
ter than any other resident of Wash

That big 75 lb. salmon mentioned
yesterday as having been at 13. W.
Tallant's cannery, and sent by
A. Booth to Chicago, was 5G inches
long, 31 inches around the waist. It
will be in Chicago in time to furnish
a royal dinner to tho Republican
presidential nominee. Oregon raises
big salmon, big trees and big majori
ties. Every five minutes yesterday came
bulletins from the Chicago conven
tion, the most of the news being the
fact that the convention was as ready
as a crowd of boys to whoop and
cheer. Noise appears to be a very
important factor in political deliber
ations. There will probably be some
balloting to-day, though it is not
likely any definite result will be
reached before to-morrow.

TriE Astobian of December 27th,
1837, contained an account of the
drowning of a man who had started
to beat down in a sail boat from Ska
mokawa; when near Three Tree
point the boat capsized and the three
occupants wero Hung m the water.
One was daowncd; his name is un

ton or Brookfield, and who knows his
name will confer a favor on Ins San
Francisco relatives by addressingthis

Men sometimes wear the livery of
heaven to serve the devil in, and thus
bogus newspaper men are sometimes
found. Sometime ngo two young
men announcing themselves as F. H.
Ertel and A. J. Battersby strolled
into The Astobian office nnd an
nounced that they represented the
New York Journal and Cincinnati
Enquirer, and that it pecuniary in-
ducements were sufficient they would
write up Astoria. They had very
handsomely printed cards, but had
no more to do witli journalism than
we have to do with Stanley's Central
African expedition. They were just
plain ordinary beats. They got S150
in Salem and beat Ladd & Tilton in
Portland by inducing that bank to
cash the drafts that the Salem folks
gave them for articles that never ap
peared. Ladd& Tilton must stand
the loss; Ertel and Battersby com
mitted fnrnprv insnrlnrnTirTfr rlroffa
and are now in California, working
me same racket.

and L. Stevenson of San Francisco
came off last night, says Thursday's
uregonian. seeley won; time, 19:32.
The race was for $250 a side and the
gate receipts. Great secrecy regard

by tho managers of the race in order
that they might have as large a crowd
as possible on tho boat which they
proposed to run to tne course. Tne
distance was three miles, with a turn,
and tho course selected was to the
east of Ross island, from the north
end of that island up tho river to
buoys and back.

The O. R. A 5. Company Will Operate Bar
Lugs.
(Oregonlan 21.)
Yesterday Mr. W. H. Holcomb, general
manager of the O. R. & N. Co., announced
to a committee of the board of trade that
his company had decided to put on a
towage service at the entrance of tho
Columbia river which will be run in con
nection with tho company's river towage.
Mr. Holcomb' recent visit to San Fran
cisco was for the special purpose of se
curing tugboats, and ho has the option
of a new steel boat, an iron boat that has
seen some service, and three wooden tuers
of sufficient power. In a very short timo
a decision will ue reacneu as to which
boats will bo bought, and the new ser
vice will begin before any of the wheat
crop growing is ready tor snipment.
In order to put instant stop to com-
Elaints of ship-owners over tho present
igh rates charged for towing vessels
from the ocean to Astoria and out again,
Mr. Holcomb announced his company's
schedule of rates. They include towage
and pilotage from the ocean to Portland
and return, and aro as follews:
Vessels under 800 tons register $ 8T0
800 to 1000 tons register J00
1000 to 1200 tons register a."0
1200 to 1400 tons register 1000
Every 200 tons over 1400 50
Lighterage is to be ,ri0 cents per ton.
The reduction in charges on ships of
medium carrying capacity (between l'JOO
and 1400 tons) is nearly two-thirds from
present rates, and on larger ships more
than one-bal f . Itesident managers of large
shipping houses to whom tho schedule
was submitted say that the rates are
eminently satisfactory, and Mr. Holcomb
promised that they might safely give
notice to their firms that the rates for
the coming season would bo no higher.
This announcement will be received
with much satisfaction by every grain
producer in Oregon and Eastern Wash
ington, and by the mercantile commu
nity of Portland. It was asked of tho O.
It. & N. that a railroad be built to Cceur
d'Alene and that the company establish
a towage service nt tho mouth of tho Co
lumbia. The company will do both, aud
there is reason for conaratulation. Now
if tho terminal company will provide fa
cilities lor nandun" fteiclit. every jeas-
nnnliln rpnnr. will linv ltpnn nrvimlipil !

An Explanation.
What i3 this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to bo af
flicted? If you will romember a few
years ago tho word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is a3
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used ly
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as thev aud
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
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 ot the
b.le through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, cauBiug nervous tronbles,
Malaria, Billions iever, etc. ion
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend ureen a Au
gust Flower. Its cure3 aro mar
velous. Mammoth Tree.
On Lewis and Clark river nbout
ten miles up and just ubovo tide
water, only fifteen miles from Astoria,
stands a spruce ou tho north sido
near the river, measuring forty feet
four inches in circumference, ten feet
from the ground and above the brace
roots, it is at least one hundred feet
to where it forks. The forks aro too
large for saw logs. There's enough
lumber in it to fence around forty
acres, build a dwelling, a barn and
enough stove wood to last a year. I
measured it with Neal AVilson to help.
It's been standing guard over that
historic river nnd every change in its
course of life, ever sinco a hundred
years before the landing of the pil
grims. Wm. Ciuia.
Is CimMiiiiptioii Incurable?
Kead the follewing: Mr. C. II. Morris,
Newark, Aik.. says: "Was down with
Absces-. of Idlings and friends and pliy
Moians pronounced me an Incurable
Consumptive. Began takingDr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption, am
now on my third bottle, and able to
oversee the work on my farm. It is the
finest medicine ever made.''
Jesse Jliddlcwart, Decatur, Ohio,

would have died of hung Troubles. Was
