A VISIT TO THE JETTY.
Material Progress of the Work There.
A party consisting of Messrs. Tay
lor, McBride, Fulton, Trenchard,
Cleveland, Curtis, and others, went
down to Ft. Stevens yesterday morn
ing to see the progress on tho jetty.
Tho unusually fine weather all
through the fall and winter monthB
have given opportunity for almost
continual work, and besides the plac
ing of tho enttre plant in order nnd
the enlarging of the facilities, there
nas Deen a good deal done in the ad
vancement of the main work.
Tho last congressional appropria
tion of S500.000 gives ample funds for
energetic prosecution or their work.
and Mr. Hegardt exDect3 to make
notable advancement daring the com
ing months.
The most striking feature of the
many improvements observed by a
visitor is in the enlargement of the
wharf and the placing of two hoisting
engines, which allow of considerably
quicker unloading of the stone from
the barges.
There is also quite a machine shop
developed, with many new and im
proved pieces of mechanism for man
ufacturing and repairing.
The line of pile3 has been advanced
till it now extends 7,900 feet from the
shore line, and two miles from the
dock. Between the piles is laid a
mattress of fascines, and on this is
damped the rock, the calculation be
ing to run out 700 tons of rock a day
on the cars this season. An ingen
ious contrivance 13 shown by Mr.
Fleet, the inventor, by which a car of
stone can be quickly unloaded, the
car righting itself so soon as the load
is dumped.
There are 112 men employed on the
work.
The party desires to return thanks
to Messrs. fiegardt.Stoneman.Brown,
Rowe and others for courtesies ex
tended on the occasion of their visit.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Milton Parrish, now one of the pi
oneers ol Wilbur, w. T., is m the
city on a visit.
No Mail For Knappa.
The Knappa folks in common with
other communities on the Oregon
shore are without mail at present. A
Knapp came down yesterday to get
the letter mail, but it had all gone to
Portland, and he was obliged to re
turn in a sail boat yesterday without
any. The mail contract calls for
mail delivery so many times a week,
and there is a fine or forfeiture for
each omission. The mail is delivered
by the Telephone along the Washing
ton shore, but, during the strike,
dwellers on the south bank of the
Columbia are without their usual
mail facilities.
IIow Men Die.
If we know all the methods of ap
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward oft" the
danger and pospono the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other coses a little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and wellknown
remedy Boschee's German Syrup, a
earful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene
actor of any home."
The New School Law.
Tho clerk of each school district
containing 4,000 or more inhabitants
shall receive for his services of the
money collected by him of school
taxes as follews: For the first twenty
thousand dollars or any less sum, live
per centum thereof; for the next
twenty thousand dollars or any part
thereof, two per centum thereof; for
all sums above forty thousand dollars
one per centum thereof. The clerks
of nil other school districts shall re
ceive for their services, or tho money
collected by them of district taxe3
levied in their respective districts,
five per centum thereof, and the di
rectors of any district may pay their
clerk such additional compensation
as is in their judgment necessary.
I'ROGUESS.
It is very important in this aire of vast
material progress that a remedy be pleas-
uiK iu ine uuiu unu w uiu eye, easily
taken, acceptable to the stomach and
healthy in its nature and effects. Possess
ing these qualities, Syrup of Figs is the
one periect laxative ami most gentle di
uretic known.
A Grand Concert.
Many of our citizens are doubtless
aware that Prof. C. C. Pratt has for sev
eral weeks been giving instruction In
vocal music to the pupils of District No.
1, of our city schools. He has been hard
at work, and great advancement has
been made. The pupils of the school
have tendered to l'rof. Pratt a Concert
for his benefit, in appreciation of his
services so ably rendered. The Concert
will take place on Thursday evening,
March 14th, at Ross' Opera House, upon
which occasion he will be ably assisted
by some ot tho best local talent. The
chorus will be augmented by the prin
cipal singers of Prof. Pratt's Skipanon
Vocal Music Class, a large number of
our resident amateurs, ana last but not
least, Mrs. Prof. M. L. Pratt, the accom
plished wife of our Principal, has con
sented to be present and assist as pian
ist As the number of performers en
gaged in this concert numerically ex
ceeds any previous attempt in eur city,
and embraces a large number of tal
ented persons, we hazard nothing in
predicting a crowded house and a rare
treat m this Home airair.

A PORTLAND REPORT.
Regarding the Strike on the River and
Sound.
Tho Telearam. savs: Bv a special
agreement with the Masters' and En-
- , - ? t.:..!. I.aI.3 nrt
gineers associations, wuua ucm uu
other joint session last night, the Tele
phone was permitted to attend to the
mailbnsiness upon the condition that
Capt Scott employ engineer Cun
ningham at association wages. Cun
ningham will run one trip only, when
tho old engineer, having joined the
union to-day, will be allowed to take
his old place. Engineers Douglass,
of the Traveler, and Shepard, of the
Lurline, have joined the union so
that their boats could carry the mail.
Their owners had to comply with the
demand and pay union wages.
It is nnderstood that the steamer
State of California, Captain Ackley
master, will not sail to-morrow nigni
according to the schedule. The
Masters' and Engineers' association
can call out the officers on the ocean
steamer, it is said, and unless an un
derstanding is reached at once, this
step will be taken. Telegrams have
been sent to San Francisco to the
caDtain of the Oregon, and the Co
Inmbia will arrive here Saturday
morning.
The master of the O. R. & N. bar
tag Escort has telegraphed up to tho
association that he will quit at a mo
ment's notice, and in such a case the
company can not get a tug to bring
their steamers in. The bar pilots,
too, will likely be called out, so that
navigation matters will be pretty
thoroughly anesthetized.
Among the men here there is con
siderble rejoicing at the white feather
shown by tho company to the strikers
on the sound division. The men,
however, with the exception of one
crew, refuse to return to work with
out an increase in wages. It is taken
for granted here that such an order
will soon be received at Portland
from general manager Holcomb. A
number of old steamboatmen have
applied for positions, but as none of
them possess the necessary special li
cense, they are not available. One
engineer was heard to say that he
would like to go to work at the old
rates. He said he had worked for
the company for the company for
seven years and did not desire to go
back on the old stand-by at this late
date, but he wonld have to stand by
association principles now.
It is stated by a prominent member
of the association that in order to
bring the men to terms, the company
will bo forced to carry an extra as
sistant engineer.
It is currently rumored about the
streets that the Brotherhood of loco
motive engineers and fireman are
abont to form a combination with the
marine engineers and masters, and
step out from the oabs till this
trouble is settled. .Such a move
would block the Union Pacific on all
of its lines west of Omaha. The re
port has not been verified by authen
tic dispatches, but it is believed by
many that unless the present diffi
culty is adjusted so as to do un
doubted justice to the employes, that
a general strike will result in every
department connected with the me
chanical operations of the entire sys
tem, manager uolcomb has not tele
graphed anything betokening any
concession up to the hour of going
to press, and it is thought a very
strong attempt will be made to force
the association to the prescribed
terms.
The company had made arrange
ments yesterday with tho Southern
Pacific for the O. & C. ferry to tow
the coal barge over from the cast side
to the steamer State of California
to load the latter vessel with fuel.
When the osociations learned of this
they prevailed upon the ferry officers
not to move the barge, aud the com
pany will attempt to draw it across
the river by moans of long ropes and
a windlass.
(No news confirmatory of the above
had been received at Wnshiugton or
ban Francisco np to 8 o'clock last
evening. It is probably n canard.)
Harbingers of Spring.
Win. Chance yesterday pointed out
to the writer five swallows, twittering
on the telephone wires. These little
birds are unusually early this seasou.
They are harbingers of fine weather,
and usually show up about April 25th.
If encouraged they will build under
the eaves or in a snug corner of an
upper porch and are interesting to
watch as they rear their callow brood
and coax the fledglings to essay
flight.
If you have a discharge from the nose,
offensive or otherwise, partial loss of
the sense of smell, taste or hearing, eyes
watering or weak,f eel dull ordebilitated,
pain or pressure in the head, take cold
easily, you may rest assured that you
have the Catarrh. Thousands of cases
annually, without manifesting half of
tne above symntoms. terminate in rnn-
sumption and end in the grave. No dis
ease is so common, more deceptive, less
understood or more unsuccessfully
treated by physicians. The manulac
turers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Itemedy
have formany years, offered a standing
reward of SMO for a case of Nasal Ca
tarrh, no matter how bad or of how long
standing, which they cannot cure. Rem

A MAN OF LONG TITLE.
Whom the Truth Shows to Be a Con
temptlble Liar,
The last Port Townsend Argus to
hand contains an interview with
"Gen. G. P. Ihrie, late inspector tren-
eneral on the western war staff of TJ.
S. Grant." This military gentleman
and all his titles was asked by the
Argus man for his opinion ns to
where the naval commissioners should
locate tho navy yard. Ho favored
1'ort Townsend, but in the course of
his remarks referred to the mouth of
the Columbia river as "the cravevard
of the northwestern continent for in
numerable wrecks of sailing vessels
and steamers.
General G. P. Ihrie, "late inspector
general or tne western war staff of
U. S. Grant, you are either incor
rectly reported in the Argus or else
you are a monumental liar and a dis
grace to the profession of arms.
A TJ. S. officer is a gentleman and
not a liar, and it is very doubt
ful if you are in the arm? at all.
The Argus should know better
than to print such rot, for it it knows
anything it is aware that the asser
tion quoted is not so, and that the
statement is stupid, malicious, ignor
ant and false. This titled liar has a
right to his ignorant opinion, if he
keeps it to himself, but deserves re
buke when he brays in print.
