sponsible position in tho department

S1.000 to S10.000. These in the ag
gregate will amount to between S150,
000 and 8200,000 and will be turned
over to Vnn Cott's sureties together
with his own bond for tho difference,
a now plan which causes favorable
comment.
Last Saturday while the S. O. Reed
was on her way to Astoria from
Portland and when near Reeder's
Landing, she ran into a fish boat, cut
ting it almost in two. The captain
reports that he was keeping n bright
look out, and tho first he saw of the
boat was its shadow, and he nt once
throw tho wheel hard over, but too
late to avoid striking. The boat
immediately filled. Meanwhile ar
rangements were made for the rescue
of the two inmates, one of whom was
saved, but the other could nowhere
be seen; but while hauling the boat
and net on the steamer, the lifeless
body of the man was found entangled
in the net Everything was done to
bring the poor fellow to life, but
wuuout utuu. iuo uuujr was lasen
to St Helens, where an inquest was
held, which showed that the-name of
the unfortunate man was John
Behrnds, and established the facta of
the caso ns related above.

The Work nt The Jetty.
A visit to Ft. Stevens shows favor
able progress of the great work go
ing on at the mouth of the Columbia,
the good effect of which i3 already
noticable in increased depth of water
on the bar.
The work has not been allowed to
languish, and during the fall and
winter months activity -was the order
of the day. An increased force of
men has lately gone to work and it is
now a lively scene of operations. The
big wharf is now double the size of
the old ono, two big hoisting engines
and derricks are in use and two
barges of stone can be unloaded at
one time. There are now ten barges
in use, and a new tug is building to

ties, piles and lumber sufficient for an
additional mile seaward nro being de
livered, tho iron for an equal amount
of railroad extension is on the way
nnd the expectation is to shortly be
able to deliver from COO to 800 tons
of rock per day.
A Splendid Cbanre to Secure Seaside Lots.
There is probably more activity in
real estate in Ocean Park propeity,
at tho ocean terminus of tho Ilwaco
and Shoalwater Bay railroad, than
elsewhere just now. Lots iu Rail
road addition to tho Park aro selling
ropidly, under the low prices put up
on thorn. The reason of their rapid
sale is owinjr to their fine location,
both as a summer resort and from a
commercial point of view. The ter
minus of the road will bo at Sealand,
on Shoalwater bay, just a half a mile
east of the addition. Thoy have 45
feet of water there at low tide, and
there aro plans being formed for the
bnilding of a new saw mill and a $25,
000 hotel, during tho coming summer,
beside the building of a great number
of business houses to say -nothing of
the improvements contemplated by
the railroad. The owner of Sealand
is opening streets and clearing land
at the present time. If yon want to
make a lucky investment, secure a
lot iu Railroad addition without de
lay nf Robb & Parker.
THE MDIES DELIMITED.
The pleasant effect ana the perfect
safely with which ladies may use the
liquid fruit laxative, Syrup of Figs, un
der all conditions make it their favorite
remedy. It is pleasing to the eye and to
the laste, gentle, yet effectual in noting
on the kidneys, liver and bowels.

fish commissioner, accompanied by a
deputy sheriff, was cruising around

How Men Die.
If we know all tho methods of ap
proach adopted by an enemy wo are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op
pose tho tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases 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 nny trouble of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and wellknown
remedy Boschee'a German Syrup, a
earful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, tho "bene
actor of any home."
Important Land Law Decisions'
In the case of Lizzio Buxton et nl.
vs. Hnttie L. Trover et ol. tho su
preme court of tho United States has
decided that the heirs of a man who
settles on unsurvoyed land with tho
intention of pre-empting it, nnd who
dies before survey, canuot take
the land under the pre-emptiou law.
Settlement upon the public lands
in advance of public surveys, tho
court says, is allowed to parties who
intend, when the surveys aro made, to
apply for their purchase. If withiu
a certain time after the surveys nnd
return of the plats to tho local land
office, tho settler takes certain steps
required by law, ho acquires fur tho
first timo the right of pre-emption to
the land that is, the right to pur
chase it in preference to others, but
he has no estate iu tho land which ho
could devise by will, or which would
in case of death pass to his heirs
law. As has been heretofore held by
the court, occupation nnd Impove"
ment of public lands with a view to
pre-emption does not confer a vested
right in the lands so occupied. The
United States enters into an obliga
tion that tho lands occupied shall
never be put np for sale, but simply
declares that in case they are offered
for sale the occupants shall havo tho
privilege of purchasing them before
all others. Tho judgment of tho
lower court against plaintiffs' rights
is affirmed.
Is Consumption Incurable?
Read the follewing: Mr. C. II. Morris
Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with
Abscess of Lungs, and friends and phy
sicians pronoun ceil me an Incurable
Consumptive. Began taking Dr. 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 Middleware Decatur, Ohio,
says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption I
would have died of Lung Troubles. AVas
given up by doctors. Am now In best
of health." Try it Sample bottles free

Sensational Story of a Son or the Late
C. C. Scott.
PobtIiAKD, April 8. Owing to the
heavy increase in freight business be
tween this city and points on Puget
sound, tho O. It & N. Co. has decided
to connect tho two points by a steam
er lino. The steamer Idaho willoon
be put on the route, and other steam
ers will probably soon bo added.
CAUSES A SENSATION.
A few days after the death of C. C.
Scott, of the Oilman house, his wid
ow applied to the county court for
letters of administrator, representing
that she was sole heir to the estate.
Upon that representation her request
was granted. A few days ago a Ma
son here received a letter from a
brother Masons, stating that deceased
has a son living in Manchester, New
Hampshire, by a wife from whom he
had been divorced years ago, who
claimed a share of his father's estate.
The Mason here placed the letter iu
the bonds of Hon. Bufus Mallory, in
structing him to take such steps as
suggested themselves to him to pro
tect the son's interests. The fact has
created no little surprise among tho
dead man's friends, as it is doubtful
whether a soul in town ever knew that
he had been married before.
THEY DO SOT KESPECT HEP. WILL.
Harriet B. Campbell, grandmother
of tho late Mrs. Holladay, Maria A.
Smith, Mrs. W. H. Bernard, aunts,
and Joe Holladay filed a petition ask
ing that the grandmother be ap
pointed guardian of Mrs. Holaday's
two children altogether ignoring
the last will of deceased. General
Ingalls, who i3 much attached to tho
children, will make a hard and bitter
fight against the allowance of the
petition. The children much prefer
Ingalls.
