The Xew Town of Frankfort and Its Harbor. Railroads, f-tr. Our populace are now made to re joice by the realization of loup de ferred hopes by the prospective open ing to navigation ol tue upper Columbia wherein two empires are unite! in commerce by a perpetual artery through which will ebb and flow the traffic of a nation and king dom throughout the annals of endless time, and by the success of the jetty, now that the Columbia river jetty has accomplished its purpose fur beyond the most sanguine expectations is a race beyond contradiction, hence we now proclaim to the whole world that Ave have the safest and most accessible entrance of any port along the shores of the broad Pacific. And Frankfort bay, by the extrava gance in the good gifts of nature, with tempting modesty invites the commer cial fleets of the world to her tranquil haven and harbor of remgc, where the fleets of the great deep may cast the anchor of safety in a perfect landlocked harbor, and come and go without the will of the restless tide or delay by the angry wave. A glance at the map of the world will show the indelible fact that the Co lumbia river holds the geographical pre-eminence which will give her the commercial supremacy and importance of the great northwest This future greatness is fully substantiated by the well known fact that the current of trade winds set a direct course from Japan and China to the mouth of the Columbia river, therefore all vessels from the Orient to our shore, whether for the port of the Columbia river or elsewhere, necessarily sail in this chan nel to the mouth of the Columbia river, thence with sixteen miles towage the ship is delivered in safe harbor at Frankfort bay, And in the near future when the Great Northern and Frankfort railroad is completed, we not only claim to cheapen rates but gain live days in time over the route through the straits of Juan DeFuca with its 100 miles of towage toPugetsouud and northern ports. That we quote facts, and that we hold the commercial supremacy or the Pacific northwest, we submit to the decision of a caudid world. WHEKE IS rKANKFOKT? It is situated uii Frankfort bay in the southwest corner of the great state of "Washington where the mighty Columbia rolls iuto theses and is the coming metropolis of a golden empire. And to-day she stretches forth an inviting hand laden with precious gifts to the thousands who seek to grasp the hand of golden op portunities. Why is Frankfort des tined to become a great city? As water will seel; its level, as cause and efl'ect are true to natural law.-, located as it is, on a magnificent site, the future terminus of a transcontinental railroad system, with :i deep and per petual channel, with a perfectly sheltered harbor, near the mouth of the great Colum bia river, the main commercial artery of the Pacilic northwest through which will flow the endless re sources of an inland empire teeming with the fruits and cereals of a fertile soil and jeweled with a wealth of precious metals, with mountains of iron and extensive fields of coal and exhaustless forests of valuable timber, all of which must find the world's mart by shipment from the port of Frankfort from and by the natural avenues, course and eternal fitness of things, which is the inevitable ver dict of time. How to Keep Yonr Friends. A girl I know said: 'Tin a great one for making friends." It sounded to me as if she ought to be very happy, but when I had a minute to tliink, I wondered if she was good at keeping them. Making friends is easy to the girl who is bright and happy, whose society gives pleasure and who is genial, "lint the keeping of them demands more than this. If you want to keep a friend don't get loo intimate with her. Have your own thoughts and permit her to have hers. Do not demand too much of her in the way of confidence. And do not be aggressive, wanting to know why she hasn't done this and why she doesn't think as you do. If you think your friend's style of dress is not beautiful don't tell her; you only offend her, because deep iu her heart she feels that she knows a great deal more about it than you do. Do not find fault with your friend's friend and do not expect to ba the only one given a corner in her heart Be as considerate of her feelings as if she were a stranger, and remember that politeness is an every-day gar ment, and not one intended only for high days and holidays. To sum it up in one sentence, preserve the courtesy of the beginning if yon wish to keep your friendship to the end. Ladies'' Home Journal. 1: A. O. U. AV. Address by E. 31. Reading, of California. If the railroad meetiug had not been held last evening there would probably have been a large audience to listen to an address by E. Wl. Beading, supreme lodge representative from California of the Ancient Order of United "Workmen. As it was, there was a fair audience, who listened attentively to the speaker. On the platform were some of the officers of Seaside lodge, No. 12, of this city, including Dr. Jay Tattle, past master workman and medical director; George WT. McLean, past master work man; George "W. Rncker, master work man; S. T. McKean, recorder; and Adolph Johnson, overseer. The exercises opened with an instru mental trio comosed of Miss Pearl Ilolden, pianist, Prof. A. L. Francis and "Will Bnsey, violinists. This was followed by a piano solo by Mrs. J. K. Osbourne, and a vocal duett, ''The Lily and the Rose," by Miss Birdie "Winton and Miss Nellie Levings. George V. Kncker, master workman of the lodge, in an appropriate manner introduced the speaker of the evening, R 1L Reading, of California. He gave a very interesting account of the rise and progress of the order, showing clearly how it has passed through various gradations, coming steadily and surely onward and up ward "from a very small beginning, until now it occupied a proud position amid the benevolent and fraternal organizations of the day, with a mem bership of nearly a quarter of a mil lion.

He thanked those present for their atten dance and commended them for the interest mauifasted in so important a subject, and after the close was the recipient of merited applause. Abont Coffee iSrowin;;. All kinds of coffee grow on the one variety of the plant. Each particular kind is produced by tho particular temperature or degree of heat and altitude at which it is grown. If the shrub is planted on the equator it will produce Mocha ; if five degrees from the equator it will produce Java. Rio and all other kinds outside of the Java-producing belt are grown within twenty degrees of the equa tor. The shrub at about ten degrees, at a high altitude, pro duces a large white Rio, which, if shipped to au Atlantic port in an old seamy vessel, will take on a color that when placed in old government sacks prevents it from being told from genuine Java coffee. The susceptibility of coffee to the odor of any article placed near it very ofteu destroys its aroma and deteri orates its best qualities. A single green hide placed u the hold of a ves sel filled with Java coffee will destroy the cargo. THE KEY. GEO II.

Over half a mile of track is already laid, and nearly all the entire line is graded, ready for the ties. Work on the trestle atlho cast end has been hindered somewhat, by the inability to get timbers from the miil as fast as wanted, but they will be on hand in a day or two and" then the trestle will be completed. The rails are laid from a short dis tance beyond the lower end of the second trestle to the wharr of the com pany, and from there several rods around the shore of the bay. A drive was taken to the end or " the grade which is nearly to the east line of Taylor's Astoria. Beyond this, if a franchise is procured, the company propose soon to extend their line easterly up the shore towards Young's river, .and already have on their wharf enough rails and spikes for that pur pose. An engine and cars have been ordered, and bills of lading of them are daily expected from the east, the locomotive having been made at the famous Baldwin locomotive works. It will bo but a few weeks before the entire line of nearly two mile3 is com pleted and in running order. The road-bed is very solid ami substantial, and th. line will be well ballasted.

The man who has been approaching her, gently takes hold of the hand a good deal as one might grasp the rung of a ladder.

The Chehalis lice has received a let ter from a lady m the east enclosing some newspaper clippings in regard to the Flack divorce scandal in New York and idso to Chicago divorces, which she asks the Bee to publish. She gives her reason in tho following sensational terms: "You will wonder at the reques,t so strange. My reasons for doing so are these; in your town, right in your midst, is a man who has been living there for nearly thirteen years, and who is highly respected, who obtained a divorce in an unlawful manner and 13 liable to the same penalty, when it is contested, which it certainly will be. He was married a few months ago, making his crime double. This is all true, for I am hi3 only legal wife. I feel for the oae he has married. She is the one who is deeply wronged. God help her.

The entire staff of the doctors, superintendents and war dens of the great government insane asylum at Pressburg have been placed under arrest in consequence of the disgraceful acts of cruelty and bar barity brought to light by the com mittee on investigation. The matter has been appointed by the minister of the interior in deference to a popular outcry concerning the surprisingly frequent deaths that took place in the establishment. The scandal attracts widespread attention in consequence of the high social rank and prominence or many of the victims. Thus the Countess of L , a lady who pre viously to her dementia, was well known as a great leader in the court and official circles here, and whose husband died a few months ago, was shown by the testimony of certain wardes themselves, to have been tied by her magnificent long hair to the window tree, and after having been stripped, to have been flogged and shamefully ill-treated by several male and female attendants. Jos eph von Zolifal, the well known pianist died in two hours J after being subjected to a flogging, in the course of which three of his ribs were broken. It is indeed the outcry made bv his widow that has forced the I government to act iu the matter. She insisted upon the surrender of herhus band's body by the asylum authorities, and caused, it bo submitted to an au- t races Che- bro- United Stales with a considerable of gov ! eminent money which he had em- bezzled while occupying a high posi I tion in the ministry of the interior, J was likewise dono to death in the most shocking manner oy tne mnu man keeper. The revelations in con nection with the affair have created the most painful sensation throuhout tho empire, for the Pressbnrg asylum has always been regarded as the model establishment or its kind. LIFE IX ALASKA. FIse Statements Concerning the Indians routrr.dietcil. Some two months ago or more, there appeared in the Oreyonian and the San Francisco E.vuminer, articles claiming that the wliite men engaged in mining and fishing in Alaska were abusive to the Indians, especially in their treatment of Indian girls. The articles were based on statements of a New York missionary, who de nounced the white men for what he termed ''outrages on Indians in Alas ka." These articles excited consid erable comment in Alaska and aro dq- nicd bv all who.are familiar with the facts in the case. FromS. A. Swcndseu, chief engineer of the Harbor Packing Company, who has spent most of his time in Alaska every year for the last fifteen years, Thk" Astoman has learned the true state of affairs;. Indian girls, at their own request and by the consent of their parents, were taken as wives by tho whito men and as kindly treated as if they had been women and legally mar ried in accordance with law and cus tom. Every fall these men would go to "Victoria, taking their Indian wives with them, and spend the winter there, returning to Alaska in the spring, and living as happily all tho time as fam ilies in any other part of the world. Under such circumstances it is not strange that these men are displeased at such false statements concerning them. Officers and men of steamers and sailing vessels who are familiar with life in Alaska verify the state ments made by Mr. Swcndseu and it is evident that the New York missionary deviated considerably from the straight and narrow path of truth, and allowed his vivid and over-wrought imagina tion to cause him to swerve entirely out of his course by at least several degrees.

Rnnior That Blaine is Willing to Pay for Captured Vessels. A Washington dispatch says that it is understood Mr. Blaine has prac tically agreed that in the settlement of the Behring sea dispute the rights of the Canadian vessel owners for com pensation for the loss of their vessels, which were seized by the United States revenue cutters, shall be ad mitted. Minister Tupper will place the damage at 8500,000, and this amount, he feels confident, he will bo able to secure, owing to the abandon ment of Mr. Blaine's contention that Behnng sea is a mare clausam, and it is only on this basis that the British and Canadian negotiator will consent to the signing of a treaty which makes the seizures a violation of interna tional law, and a money compensation is the easiest mode of settling for this government Tho claim of the exclusivo jurisdiction iu Behring sea having been abandoned in behalf of the United States, the British government is ready to complete with the -United States any reasonable arrangements for a regulation of the seal fishery in those waters, but not for a prohibition of pelagic sealing. The regulation is to be restricted to whatever provisions indisputable facts may show to be essential to a pre servation of tho seal herd resorts in Behring sea, but in the proposed in ternational agreement no considera tion can be given to the revenue in terests of the United States or the pecuniarj interests of the lessees of the seal islands, such consideration lying entirely beyond the scheme of international cognizance. A P.Iow at the Canning Industry. The revision of the tariff has been undertaken ostensibly for the purpose of harmonizing its inequalities and cutting down the surplus revenue, but the committee of ways and means of the houso seem to have lost sight of the main objects to be accomplished; at least some of the provisions of the bill indicate that they have, and none more emphatically than that in regard to tin-plate. This is an article that is used or rather manufactures of which that is the raw material ero used in every familv in the country. The numerous canning industries of fruits, vegetables, fish, meats, etc., use vast quantities of tin-plate, and that forms an important element in the cost of canned goods, which tho can- ners furnish to consumers, and the latter in the end pay whatever may be the dutv on tin-plate. Under tho existing tariff the duty on imported tin-plate amounts to about $7,000,000 per year, and there is little made in this country- Hero was an opportunity to reduco the revenue and at tho samo time give consumers the benefitof the reduction, but instead of doing this it is pro posed to donblo tho duty oh tin-plate. This is to benefit tho two or three manufacturers of that article at the expense of tho millions of people who will thereby be obliged to pay the in creased tax, amounting to $7,000,000, making a total of about $14,000,000 of revenue which the government will draw from this source. This is de creasing the revenue with a ven geance. Of course it would be desirable for this country to produce its own tin plate, especially as that would materi ally enlarge the market for iron, tin plate being merely iron with a coating of tin, but it is not good political economy to destroy or cripple ono or more important industries for the pro motion of another. Besides it is far from certain that the duty on tin-plate would enable U3 to produce that arti cle in sufficient quantities to supply the demand, at least for many years. There is such a thing as paying too dear for a whistle, and this is a case in point -Cincinnati Price Current. Sites Don't 3Iake Cities. The newspaper published at a place not a thousand miles from the Che halis river, speaking of a visit of a cap italist from ono of the Sound cities says: "He was especially pleased and said he had never seen a more beau tiful townsite." Wonder if this is not the same man who once upon a time was sent to collect a bill from a saw mill company in the wild3 of Michigan, who had con structed a dam in a stream and claimed to have built a mill. After hunting over the locality where he ex pected to find his creditors, he wrote his employers "I have found a dam by a mill-sight but no mill by a d d sight." The judge is hotter known now and thinks Ocosta will share tho same fate. Aberdeen Herald.

"Every family is supposed to haYe a skeleton in its closet," remarked Dr. Wheeler, Wichita, Kan., to a party of friends who met hiai at the union de pot last evening. "I had one in mjr closet until this week, when I shipped it to the Michigan state university. I don't want to seo it again. "It happened like this: Many years ago, when I commenced the practice of medicine in a small Missouri town, the Jesso James boys paid us a visit. They raided the bank and got away with $6,000, but firing was pretty gen eral on both sides. I had a revolver, and during the general excitement I shot one of the robbers. He was dead when we picked him up. A finer speci men of physical manhood I have never seen. The natives in the little Mis souri village made no objection when. I claimed tho youth's skeleton as my prize. "Last week, ono rainy night abont II o'clook, a genuine old-fashioned frontiersman camo to my office. He asked my name, then inquired if I had a skeleton in my closet His face was bearded and sunburned, but there was something about him that made me think of the young man I had killed many years before. I was alone in the office, and I didn't like the color of the visitor's eye. However, I answered in tho affirmative. " 'Let me see the skeleton,' said my queer visitor. "It would scarcely do to refuse. I walked to the rear of the office, where there was a small table out of sight of my visitor. I drew out from the desk a revolver, the same one that had ended the career of theyouthfulbandit years before. Holding it in my hand, I stepped to tho closet, threw open the door, and remarked with as much coolness as I could command by force of will: " 'There i3 the skeleton!' " Tut up your revolver,' remarked the stranger. 'I won't hurt yon. If I had wanted to shoot youl would have killed you when I came into the office. I have just been down in Oklahoma and am on my way back to Tennessee. I heard tho story of your killing one of the gang, and as near as I can make out it was my boy that was killed. He ran away from home when only 12 years old, and I never saw him after that I don't hold any grudge against yon. Yon did what was right, I sup pose. But I thought I would take this chance to sec what is left of the poor boy.' 'I then showed the stranger the skeleton, which was handsomely mounted, and described the raid as briefly and as gently as possible. The old pioneer's only remark as he gazed on all that was left of his boy, was: 'Well, he was a big fellow, wasn't he?"' THAT HACKING1 COUGH can be so quickly cured by Shiloh's Cure.
