Franklin desires it stated that no word

the sad disappearance of her husband
that would justify the assumption.

Several Surveying Parties.
J.UO woqus are mil ot surveying

have gone to T. G 8 and will survey

timber surveyors and cruisers are al
so in that direction.
Last Sunday two parties of rail
road surveyors came down aud pitched
rueir tenis in me court House square.

in charge of Mr. Habersham, going to
the mouth of the Necanicum, the
other, in charge of Mr. Cooper, strik
ing out for Olney.
.
The motto of the State university is
"Mens agitat molem." Here is an op
portunity for the state Agricultural
college to compete with its sister in
stitution. There was once a mer
chant who hired a college professor to
write him a motto for his sien, and
the professor wrote, "Mens conscia
recti." The merchant's rival across
the street determined not to be out
done, and had painted on his sign.
'Men's and women's conscia recti."
So the Agricultural college might, in
generous rivalry or. the State univer
sity, have its motto, "Men's and wo
men's agitat molem."

A GOLDEN WEDDING.
One of the prettiest of Longfellow's
poems is that entitled "The Hanging
of the Crane," where in happy rhyme
the poet tells of a young couple be
ginning life together in a plain farm
house, amid the congratulations of a
number of friends who had gathered
to bid them God speed in their start
on Life's journey.
And with youth at the prow and
pleasure at the helm, the freshness of
hope, and the enthusiasm of the life
that lay in the future, the young
couple began life.
A companion picture to that was
seen at the hospitable residence of
Col. Jas. Taylor yesterday evening,
where, surrounded by his children and
grandchildren and friends, the vener
able gentleman and his honored wife
stood to receive the hearty congratula
tions of thronging friends on the cele
bration of their Golden Wedding, the
fiftieth anniversary of their marriage.
Half a century from Julv 15th,
1839, to July 15th, 1889, have they
journeyed through life side by side,
and the occasion was as unusual as
it was interesting, appealing to the
deeper feelings of many present.
The guests were received by the
daughters of the house and ushered
into the reception room, where be
neath a magnificent floral bell of
lilies and roses, Col. Taylor and his
wife received the cordial greetings of
the callers, a list of whom would com
prise hundreds of Astorians and
others resident close by, many of
whom brought up memories of "the
days of auld lang syne."
In the dining rooms a sumptuous
supper was served, and from four till
eight full justice was done it.
It was an unusual reunion, several
having come from other parte of the
state and from California to be pres
ent, the occasion being a pleasant one
while in progress, and a pleasant re
membrance to hang upon the walls of
Memory s picture gallery.
Divins for Salmon.
Incredible as it may seem, a man
has been for four days profitably en
gaged in diving for salmon in Seattle
harbor. The successful fisherman is
Henry Wright, clad in the clumsy
mask and rnbber armor of the sub
marine mechanic. The fish is in cans,
was put up by the Columbia Packing
company iu this city, was on Cole
man's wharf, foot of Columbia street,
on the day of the fire, and fell into
the water.
About 1,000 cans a day are being re
covered. Before beginning the work
of rescue it was necessary to remove a
considerable quantity of sheet iron
and buggy springs that covered the
salmon. A sack containing thirty or
forty cans is filled by the diver on the
muddy floor of the bay under the new
wharf and pulled to the surface and
emptied into a scow. The burned and
burst cans are thrown away, but the
others are washed and laid aside to be
relabeled. Mr. Wright's assistaut
says his employer ' has the coolest job
in town. Seattle Post-Intelligen-ar,

Difficult to Relieve iu The Eu.t.
Recently two Oregon gentlemen
who were conversing on a railway train
spoke of the way the country had
grown up to timber since the whites
has settled it and tue Indians nau
quit burning it ovor annually. This
conversation was overheard by a pas
senger who said he was interested in
lumber manufacture at the east. He
asked if it were possible that within
forty years forests had grown on these
prairies aud in the "Willamette valley
that furnished trees that made saw
timber that would square ten inches
or a foot He was shown such a
growth, visible from the train, and
told that it had grown since one of
the Oregonians present had been
born. He said people back east would
not believe him if he told the story,
and he would not believe it if he had
not seen it Oregonian.
THE LADIES DELIGHTED.
The pleasant effect and the perfect
safety with which ladles may ue the
liquid fruit laxative, Syrup of Figs, un
der all conditions make it their favorite
lemedy. It is pleasing to the eye and to
the taste, gentle, yet effectual m noting
on the kidneys, liver unit bowels.
Salem People Should Take Courage.
The Astoria and South Coast rail
road seems to be on sound footing,
and Astoria will no doubt be con
nected by rail with the great "Willam
ette valley within a couple of years.
The people of Salem should take cour
age from the success of tlie Astorians
in this enterprise. Plenty of work in
the right direction will make Salem
a railroad center. Salem Statesman,
