OUR ILWACO LETTER.
Railroad Lighthouse Life Crew NewsT
Items From Across the Bay.
Ilwaco, Aug. 25.
Public school commences Septem
ber 3rd, Mrs. M. Lambson principal.
The school census taken June last
gives 103 children free school this
term and other terms this year.
About three-fourths of our working
citizens have gone to Gray's Harbor
and Shoalwater bay to engage in fall
fishing.
Aside from the usual travel and ex
citement caused by seaside visitors,
the town is very dull socially, though
business continues good.
Undoubtedly there has been a
larger crowd at Sea View and Tin
ker's this summer than at any pre
vious season. The hotels have been
filled all the time, and a large amount
of building lots and whole blocks
have been sold. This is especially
true of Tinker's, or East Portland
camp. Your correspondent is ac
quainted with a large number of cot
tagers pu the beach and has, during
the season, interviewed the majority
of them in regard to the railroad and
how they liked the new method of
travel and transportation of freight.
The usual answer from the male par
ent was the railroad; and from the
ladies, that they much preferred the
old way of coming through the woods
and along the beach in a big wagon.
Probably, thongh. by next season,
when the railroad company have per
fected arrangements and their em
ployes become more competent, there
will be general satisfactiou among the
traveling public.
Mr. K. Osborn, the conductor, and
not "one of the men employed about
the yards," as your contemporary ex
presses it, has recovered sufficiently
to be out again. His left forearm
was broken iu three places by the
freight crashing against it. From
him we learn that the accident was
not caused by tho car being loaded
too much on one side, nor by its
striking a plank; but by a too high
rate of speed on a curve.
A party of us went over to How
ard's deserted village at the Cape yes
terday, and it looks lonesome enough.
There was n little excitement, how
ever, caused by a tiro on the beach
among the logs near the officers'
quarters, which was extinguished by
the commanding oilicer and the- life
crew. The latter are drilling regu
larly and can beat the record.
They run out the apparatus wagon
filled with ropes, tackles, brass gun,
etc., every thing compact and lashed.
At the word of command every
man has his place and duties
to perform. The gun is loaded,
shot line attached, gun discharged
and tho line deftly thrownover tho
cross trees erected like a ships mast.
There is a man up aloft there who
makes fast the line. Soou the big
hawser is there too and stretched
taught by tackles attached to the
sand anchor. Then the breeches
buoy are run up to the man at the
mast head and he is transferred to dry
land. Time 3 minutes, 45 seconds.
They also have their boat drills, sig
nals drills, telegraphing with flags
from the lighthouse hill to McKenzie
head. There is not much danger of
any of them getting the scurvy. But
they appear to be short of fresh wa
ter. Although there is an immense
reservoir full of water there don't
seem to be enough to supply the com
manding officer's household and the
life crew, thongh formerly there was
an abundance of water for the whole
garison and the life crew.
The lighthouse is receiving its an
nual or semi-annual coat of paint.
The gentleman in charge of the
signal service building is reported to
be yearning for a mother-in-law.
C. B. Allen and Don have gone to
Gray's Harbor.
A body washed ashore yesterday
directly in front of L. A. Loomis' resi
dence. Coroner Hanselman and as
sistants immediately repaired to the
place and after the usual examina
tion buried him. He was a man from
35 to 40 years of age, and apparently
but a few days dead. incut 0 feet a
inches, weight 180 pounds; complex
fair, sandy hair: nothing in pants
pockets but two small, cheap wooden
handled Knives; new gum boots, JNo
11, short oil coat, brown color, blue
overalls, shoddy pants ribbed, white
flannel underclothing, double breast
ed blue shirt, blue fishing shirt. No
marks on body. He was buried near
where found.
This reminds some of us of a man
of that description who was here last
week who wanted to have his boat
hauled overland to the bay, but he
had very little money. He was in
toxicated somewhat when he set sail
for Shoalwater bay and went alone.
This was on Friday before the last
storm set in. It's probably the same
man though his boat has not been
found yet.

suits ready for the next term of conrt

Weidler's Mill Narrowly Escapes.
News Special From the Eastern States.
Portland, Aug. 25. This after
noon a fire started in the rrtjrth end
of the lumber yard of Geo. Weidler's
mill and before it was discovered had
gained almost uncontrollable head
way. It was nearly 15 minutes be
fore the engines could get to work
and by that time the fire was raging
with great fury. Pile after pile of
dry lumber was burned up like so
much chaff. A strong wind from the
north swept the flames down the yard
like a burning avalanche, sweeping
everything combustible befor it.
in the yard mere was over i:,uuu,-
000 feet of lumber. For a time the
entire mill property was in imminent
danger of being destroyed. Fortu
nately the wind shifted and after a
long and desperate fight the fire was
got under control, it is very diffi
cult to estimate the loss at this time.
There is some insurance on the mill
but how much is not known. The
fire is supposed to have caught from
a spark from a passing locomotive.
It is estimated that not less than
2,000,000 feet of rough lumber was de
stroyed. A TEXAS DUEXj.

CROP REPORTS.
St. Paul, Aug. 25. The crop re
ports to the Pioneer Press do not
materially modify tho favorable re
port for the rest of last week. Har
vesting is under way all along the
line of the Northern Pacific and Man
itoba and the weather is clear and
has been so for several days. Pre
dictions iu regard to an nbnndance
of yield are verified. Chamberlin,
Dakota, reports show the largest
crops ever known in that county,
ranging from nineteen to thirty bush
els per acre. Reports in regard to
frosted wheat are contradicted in
Devil's Lake district, fifty per cent,
of the crop of which was said to be
affected. The actual damage in most
cases is to isolated fields, and in
many this could have been avoided.
The aggregate of frosted wheat is
Bmall.

A "Warning.
The modes of death's approach are
various, and statistics snow conclu
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. It is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into tho
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable sgii tney start, into me
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by a slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing uatarru. now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in timo cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that Bometmng is wrong witu
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob
tain a bottle, of Boschee's German
Syrup. It will give you iotniediate
relief. , i
