OREGON: TUESDVY. .JULY 10. 1SSS Officia.Ii statistics show that Oregon yields tho greatest number of pounds ol hay per aero o any state in the American Union. Tiiebe is now about fifty million dollars in financial centers awaiting good chances of investment Rail roads do not promise well, and there fore, capital is seeking chances in other directions. the president of rance receives 603,000 francs salary, with an allow ance of 000,000 frances for Irs ex penses; he has the palace of the Elysce as his residence, and at least one park is kept for his pleasure. One million two hundred thousand francs amounts to about 210,000. The photographer and newspaper artist are making life miserable for the members of general Harrison's family now. One of tho family says "I went to close a door in one of tho room3 and thero was a man behind it sketching the room. I went down to the parlor and another man stood in a corner sketchiug. In the basement I found a third man making a picture, and there were two cameras out on the lawn." A jocular scrap from "Washingten: It is said that Tim Campbell chanced to enter a well-known saloon a night or two ago,'iu quest of "cold tea." As ho approached the bar he caught sight of a well-known Republican member mopping his face with the stars and stripes. "What have you there?" asked Tim, frowning fiercely. "A handkerchief," replied tho mem ber, backing away from the bar. 'That's the American Hag, sir," ex claimed Tim, shaking his fist aloft, 'and its proper place is flying over the court house in New York city. If I catch you wiping your nose on it again, sir, I'll break your head." . Every resident of Oregon and Washington should bo glad to learn as this morning's dispatches state that CoL Thos. Casey has been nom inated by president Cleveland to fill the responsible position of chief of the United States corps of engineers vice Gen Duanc, resigned. Col. Casey's opponent and chief competi tor was Parke. Parko has steadily and persistently opposed the river and harbor improvement of this coast, and used Jiis official position iu the en gineer's office at Washington to re tard tho work. Parko is the man who so influenced tho president as to cause him to withhold his signature from the last river and harbor bill passed by congress. To him, as much as any one man is to be ascribed the malign influence of "the pocket veto." To place such a man in so important a place is a menance that fortunately no longer is to be feared. The senate will confirm Col. Casey's nomination. In about another decado the Am er ican and Canadian legislative, bodies will not be absorbed with arguments on the home and habits of the festive codfish. He is disappearing from our coasts, and the banks of Newfound land which knew him once know him no more. Fishermen now practice deep sea fishing with very poor re sults, as tho cod seem to fight shy of all uait While no consider these facts our attention is directed to tho other side of the globe, where im mense schools of codfish are reported on the west coast of Africa, although they have never been heard of in that quarter before. They must have grown tired of tho eternal squabbling about their feeding grounds and have emigrated to neutral territory. Queer, isn't it? About tho opening of the nest century aouiisii will Do a rare delicacy, and in 1030 or thereabouts, tho secret of that delightful dish known as tho codfish ball will only linger as a memory in tho chronicles of the cuisine. A Woman's Disconery. "Another wonderful discovery lias been made and that too by a lady in tliis county. Disease fastened its clutch es upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, hut her vi tal organs were undermined and deatli seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr, King's New Discovery for Consump tion and was so much relieved on tak ing first dose that she slept all night aud with ono bottle has been miracu lously cured. Her name is M rs. Luther LutzJ" Thus write W. C -Ilerrick & Co., ofSheIbyvi!le,N. C Get a free trial bottle at W.E. Dement & Co.'s Drug Store. I'rivate Jlouins.

The laziest fisherman who ever baited a book could ask for no easier way of landing fish. And only the fact that it can only be used at certain points on the Stream prevents this machine from exterminating tho salmon in one season. Imagine a common undershot wheel, with the buckets turned the wrong way about. This is setin ahigh, narrow flume near the bank of the river where tho current is very swift. From the down stream end of this flnme, extended outward, at an angle of forty-five degrees, are two upright fences, formed by pickets driven closely together ivlo the bottom of the river, and wired to keep them from washing away. Just above the wheel (which is some ten feet in diameter), at the up-stream end, is a platform, from which a box-Hume runs to the Bhore. This is tho machine. Now let us see how it works. When the salmon are running, as everybody knows, they come up the Columbia river by millions. The stream is very deep, and a largo percentage alwajs succeed in getting to the breeding grounds in safety. When salmon are running up a river, they are con stantly on tho lookout for small streams in which to spawn. Also, where the current is very swift, they are unable to make headway in the center of tho stream and consequently seek tho more quiet water ne-ir tho bank. Of these two instincts, tho in ventor of the fish wheel took a mean advantage. At tho Cascades, for in stance, where tho water is very swift, he sets his wheel. Here como tho fish, hugging the bank, by thousauds great black fellows, from two to four feet lone, heading resolutely up stream. Nothing can turn liiera back ward. That wonderful instinct of nature which insures the preservation of species is nowhere better developed than in a salmon. But in this instance it proves his destruction. Now they aro just below that widespread fence. Thecnrrcnt which is rushing through the flume and turning tho big wheel at a lively pace attracts their atten tion. Tho upper fence, which sets nearly squarely across the stream, makes quiet water hero, and this flow seems to come from tho bank. This, to tho salmon's mind, is evidently-tho mouth of a shallow creek. Here is a spawning gouud to our liking, and up this little stream we will go. So they crowd up between the two nar rowing fences toward tho fatal wheel. The first fish reaches it, goes in with a rush to overcomo tho current, is caught by a bucket and np he goes high in air, whilo every bucket brings up nnother aud another till there is a procession of ascending fish. At tho top tho velocity throws tho fish violently upon the platform, from which ho shoots down the flume to a great tank on tho shore. Hero como the fish, crowding each other forward to that busy wheel. Nono can go under, nor to one side. Nono will go back. And onco a school starts for a wheel, tho owner can consider that he has a title deed to tho cntiro lot. One wheel will run a cannery. Day and night, whilo tho run lasts, they come flying up tho wheel and shoot ing down tho flume, in a coutinuons stream. Fortunately thoro aro but few places on the river where wheels can bo worked with this result. Where the fish can keep iu the middle of the river few can bo caught in this way. But tho men who control these points are making fortunes. As it is, salmon are rapidly disappearing from tho Columbia. Many canneries are idle this season, and the fishermeu's prices per fish is rising cvcry year. Surely, this engine of destruction is largely the canse. Lirei-hwre, Cah, Herald. A sailor for sea.
