MIBEBg OF THE DEEP. The Slioalwater Bay Life Saying Station, lir.noisM or THi: Lin: chew. The following extracts from a letter by Col. W. S. Bracketb to the Sports man's Journal -will be of interest: Perhaps the most interesting feature of being storm-boiind at North cove v.as the opporhmity it gave me io be- I come familiar -with the United States life saving station theie and its gallant ciew. This latter is composed of Can- tain .lohu Brown and six men, all trie,d ad experienced sailor?,, used to surf and coast work. There is a boat house containing the life boat, ''beach wagon ' (as it is called) and the life saving apparatus. Above the boat house is a second story, where the crew is quartered. Captain and crew are chosen generally from men who have lived from childhood within sound of the surf. A lifetime of ex perience on the beache3 and adjacent water inures them to the penis and hardships which obtain along the coast, and makes them familiar with coast currents, tides and places of danger. They are necessarily skilled surf boatmen :is well as familiar with navigation and seamanship. But deep-water sailors arc seldom chosen for this work, because your deep water sailor is always panic stricken by breakers, shoals and lash ing surf. Like a soldier, the life-saving crew is always on watch and guard the whole year around. The 21 hours of the day are divided into six watches of four hours each, so that each man patrols the beach and maintains a steady vigil of four hours out of every 21, watching for vessels in distress. Each man carries a Coston signal which, when exploded by percussion emits a red flame that can beseeo many miles and thus assures the ship wrecked vessel that help is close at hand. When a wreck is discovered the man on guard burjis his Coston signal if it be dark, and then rushes to the lighthouse and fires a small signal cannon. This gives warning to the rest of the crew back at the lifeboat station. Every man then springs to his place in the boat house, all their actions and movements being governed by an exact, and defined and studied drill, the captain taking post near by, trumpet in hand. The Shoal water bay crew has rendered mankind and their country most gallant service. They are often in summer called upon to go to tlie relief of becalmed vessels drifting into breakers aud dangerous- shoals. In such cases with their surf boat they tow the endangered craft back to deep water. They have saved many lives from wreclcs on the treacherous shoals of that part of the coast, and their deeds of bravery are worthy of being written in letters of gold on the page of their country's history forever. I deem it but justice to these brave men, as modest as they are brave, to tell here in a few brief words the thrilling story ot their last great achievement, the rescue of the crew of the bark Grace Roberts, in wlrich the spleudid disciplin and rapid work of the Shoalwater bay crew was most conspicuously manifested. The Grace Robtrts, a large bark from San Fran cisco, went ashore in December in a fierce southwest gale, fifteen miles south of the Shoalwater bay station. It was early in the evening when she struck, and the vessel was not seen until next morning at 9 o'clock, when John Hansen, (No. 1 of crew), being on watch, saw the distant wreck dim ly through the mist, but only for an instant Hansen's remarkable vigil ance and keen vision was the salvation of nine human lives, and his name deserves most honorable mention. Hansen gave the alarm and the beach wagon was manned and on the march for the shore. Captain Brown, ascertaining the position of the wreck, and seeing that it was quicker and best to go fifteen miles south by water ou Shoalwater bay, and then across a narrow sand spit four miles to the ocean, immediately secured the tug Hunter, Capt A. T. Stream, com manding, who made ready with all haste to enter on the perilous and stormy trip across the bay. Captain Stream had been Captain Brown's predecessor in charge of the life-saving station at Shoalwater, and entered upon this work with all the energy aud vim which has made him famous in saving human lives on the sea. The beach apparatus wa3 taken aboard the tug and the light cedar surf boat belonging to the station was towed through the raging sea, with all the crew at their posts in the surf boat and Captain Brown at the steer ing oar. It was deemed proper to take the surf boat along as the wreck might lie to far out to use the gun and lines. It was deemed a point of honor and duty with Captain Brown that he and his crew should ride in the surf boat rather than on the tug. so every man sat at his post, cased in his cork jacket, oar in hand, the boat shipping water at every plunge of the heavily steam tug. Captain Stream put on all steam the tug would stand, and in about one hour landed the life saving crew on the south shore, four miles from the wreck, having towed them 15 miles and fairly driving the tug through the raging seas. Here Cap tain Brown was luckily able to hire four horses with which he hauled the beach wagon and apparatus on the run across the sands to the ocean beach, having traveled 19 miles from his station to tho scene of the wreck. The Grace Roberts lay broadside on to the shore, full of water and her hull nearly submerged. Bulwarks and housings were all washed away, and the crew were aloft in the mizzen rig ging, to which as many as were able had lashed themselves. Every sea broke clean over the vessel's hull, and the cold spray dashed constantly over the exhausted and benumbed crew. It was early in December, and the waters were icy cold. Captain Brown cal culated the wreck to be about 400 yards from the shore. At his first shot he succeeded in throwing the projec tile over the bark's rigging between the fore and main masts. A strong southward-flowing current carried the slack of the rocket line almost at once within the grasp of the imperiled crew. According to instructions they at once made the tail block fast on the mizzen mast just below the mizzen top. There was considerable delay in making fast the hawser which had been rapidly whipped out to them, because the poor fellows were bo ex hausted and benumbed by the cold they could hardly accomplish the otherwise simple and easy task. The time from firing the shot until the hawser was made fast was 90 minutes. Then the breeches buoy went out to the Grace Roberts with a rush and Captain Brown soon shouted out the welcome cemmands: "Man tho lee whip!" "Haul ashore!" Eight exhausted and nearly frozen men were hauled to land in safety, and the ninth trip brought Captain liar sen, the last man to leave his ship Ever' life was saved, and then the en ergies of the life savers were directed to administering brandy and other re storatives to the rescued men from the little medicine chest which is always oarried on the beach wagon. Just as Captain Larsen was lifted out of the breeches buoy onshore up came the life saving crew from Cape Disapoint ment having galloped 20 miles with four horses attached to their beach wagon from their station at the mouth of the Columbia river. They were too late to take part in the rescue, but gave three cheers for the gallant crew from Shoalwater bay, in which the nine rescued men joined feebly, but with all the strength they had. For cool, good judgment, accurate aud rapid work, and swift comiDg upon the scene when nineteen miles away from the wreck, this feat of the Shoalwater bay crew remains un equaled in the annals of the service. I could tell of other incidents of greater interest in their noble service, but space forbids. What they do, and have done, is modestly recorded in an official record kept by the captain, and when published by the goverment in its annual report of the United States Life Saving service, it attracts about as much attention from the world as the contents of a patent office report What should bo dons is this: A law should be passed in congress for pen sioning these men in old age, and car iug for their widows andorphanswhen the men lose their lives in this noble service. It does not stimulate a man's bravery when in the raging surf in a lifeboat, striving to save othera from death, to think of his possible widow and orphans at home deprived of their daily bread. It is but scant jnstice that theso men should have the benefit of tho pension laws. Soldiers and sailors who servo their country de stroying human life are pensioned, and" their service loaded with honors. The seamen of the life-saving ser vice are always on guard; they are brave soldiers" enlisted in their coun try's service, not to destroy, but to save human life, at the peril of their own. Which is the more honorable service? I say, make tho life-saving service of the United States as hon orable and distinguished as possible, according due distinction and reward to such brave fellows as the Shoal water bay crew, whom I am proud to number among my friends. Old Cap tain John Brown, of Ossawatomie, whose "soul goes marching on," finds a namesake that he might well be proud of in Captain Brown, of Shoalwater bay. The same might be said of Capt Stream, Brown's predecessor, When keeper of tho station, he saved with a lifeboat and volunteer crew, at great est peril to himself and men, the captain and fourteen men all hands of tho British ship Lammerlaio, Avrecked off Shoalwater bay. Three times Capt Stream had to turn back from the raging sea, and most men would have abandoned the attempt But he persisted, like the undaunted hero he is, and saved fifteen live. For this Queen Victoria bestowed on him a beautiful medal of honor, and decreed him a life pension. When I think of the cold neglect in my own country in recognizing services like these, the truth of the old saving that "republics are ungrateful" comes home to me with crushing force. Bidding good-by to Captain Brown, I noticed the photograph of a handsome youth, with a medal on his breast, hanging on the wall of the modest par lor of the keeper's home. It was his eldest son. The gallant youth was drowned several years ago while en gaged in the rescue of shipwrecked men ou Shoalwater bay. It seemed indeed hard to thus take the life of the first born and best beloved son of him who had saved so many human lives, and as I looked into the keepers hon est face, into which since his son's death a look of fixed sadness had come, I thought the ways of Providence were indeed past finding out "For unto him that hath shall bo given. And unto him that hath not, shall be taken away even that which ho hath." PERSONAL MENTION. A G.

Editor Asteriax: I am informed that Pennoyerites in the Nehalem val ley are claiming that "Governor Pen noyer stood by Gray and other friends of the road bills," passed in tho legis lature of January and February, 1889, which has opened up their valley. This is far from the trntb, and if Governor Pennoyer could have had his way no road appropriations would have been made, and the thonsands of honest settlers in isolated valleys all over this state would still be compelled to pack tho necessaries of life to support themselves and their families. "He stated in Albany a few days ago that he was sorry he did "not veto tho road bills." In order that the people may judge for themselves I will give a short history of tho road bills and the way they were engineered through tho legisla ture. When the friends or the road measures learned that Governor Pen noyer "was opposed to and intended to "veto bills from Coos, Douglas and Clatsop (Republican) counties, we de cided to hold these bills and advance tho bill introduced by Senator Raley, of Umatilla, (a close Democratic coun ty) and place that bill before the gov ernor, and if he allowed that bill to be come a law without his signature (which he did) the other road bills would become laws also. I do not believe there is the least doubt in the minds or any of the friends of the road bills that had I or either of the Republican senators from Coos or Douglas counties placed our bills beforo the governor first he would have vetoed them, and he will veto all such bills offered at the coming session, no matter how meritorious. It does not seem pos sible for the governor to comprehend that the additional taxes collected this year from the section of our connty through which this road passes will more than pay the interest ou twice S9,000, the amount given to Clatsop county, and I venture to say that the state will be fnlly reimbursed within four years for every dollar that was allowed us. There h;is been complaint about the way tho money was expended that I had nothing to do with. Some of Gov ernor Pennoyer's friends are claiming that he would have vetoed the pilot bill if myself aud the Clatsop delega tion would staud by his vetoes of the Portland water bill. He never told me anything of the kind, and did say that heconld not afford to fight Portland in everything. Regarding my support of the Portland water bill last session of the legislature, I claim that I only did for Portland what Clatsop county's delegation should ask for Astoria the coming legislature, the right to issue S500.000 seawall bonds and 200,000 water bonds for Astoria, and if we are allowed to have them exempted from taxation Astoria will save at least 10 per cent discount on the bonds, or the sum of $70,000, added to per cent premium or S35,000,wiU make a total of $103,000. Should such a bill pass the legisla ture, and GoveniorPenuoyervetoes it, Astorians who vote for him on June 2d can charge against them selves the additional tax to make up the S103.003. And tho mechanic or laborer who is seeking employment upon munici pal work should oppose anyone who obstructs or imposes such restrictions or tax as will defeat or delay such im provements when enacted by the legis lature for the welfare of the state. J. H. D. Gray. A Timely Levnn. Some time ago tho teacher of a Riverside, Cal., school instructed, her clas3 how to act incase of emergencies such as drowning, gunshot accidents, etc A day or so after the lesson a lad named. Haight went home, and found his baby sister given up for dead after being picked up out of a canaL There was no doctor to be had, and young Haight went to work to apply his les son, and in a few minutes the baby was restored to life. USETUI. INFORMATION. Tilbury Fox, 31. D., tho eminent medical writer, la his worlc" Skin Diseases," thus ac counts for the pimples so common to the f aco and neck. Eating too rich or too greasy food, or too hearty catinjj whllo tho ex cretory organs aro sluggish, causes la most people Indigestion or a dyspepslal condition, which causes tho blood to inovo sluggishly, and enfeebles tho pores. Tho result is, that the exuding secretion bloclc iu tho pores, which inflame, each distinct inflammatloa being a pimple Dr. Tox therefore docs not prescribe "blood purifiers" so called, but " dyspepsia cure" to be taken, to uso his ow words "till Ike dyspepslal vjmplona have disappeared." Tho old Idea was, that fact eruptlom were caused by a " humor in tht blood," for whldi they treated the blood, giving the mineral, potash. Joy's Vegctabli Sarsaparilla folloivs tho modem ideas of Dr. Fox, and aims with gentle vcgetablo altera tives at tho stomach and dlgcstlvo organs.
