P. folks had kept their word. They agreed to send it right along as soon as it got to Portland. It got to Portland on the 2nd, and could have been here if tho company had tried to do what they promised. Their policy appears to be one of delay, as far as those things are concerned. Among the many causes that have conspired to make a scarcity of money not only in Portland but throughout the slate, says the Welcome, not the least is the scarcity of beef cattle, a sufficiency of which heretofore has been owned by Oregon farmers. It has been said by those conversant with the stock and beet business that in the past year at least $1,000,000 which shouldhave been held in Ore con was forwarded to California for fat beef. One firm alone has paid in freight on cattle for the past five months S100,000. For fat beef in California Portland butchers have paid 3 cents per pound and with the addition of freight, yet they buy cheaper than they can at home, where good beef cattle are held at five cents. When this market is mentioned west ern "Washington and "Victoria must bo considered in, since Portland supplies these sections with four-fifths of their beef. PERSONAL MENTION.

Passengers who arrived in Portland jon tne ovenanu uauiorma express (Tuesday reported passing through a to- severe storm of lightning, rain and ; hail in Josephine county, near Grant's I Pass, the preceding evening. Mention rrive -35 made of lliis at the time, but j southern Oregon papers since received I show that the storm was greater and more wide-spread than was at first supposed. Hon. H. B. Miller, of J Grant's Pass, who was one of the pas sengers on the blockaded train, re lates his experiences to tho Salem Statesman : 1 "At a point three miles north of j Grant's Pass the railroad runs through j a dense forest It was here the electric .storm was encountered. For two hours it raged. During this time it was dark as a dungeon, except when ! the woods were lit up by lightning. j During the whole of tho storm hail I stones pelted down, soino of them, so it is stated, five and a half inches in circumference. The train was com ! polled to slop, by a fallen tree in front of it Before it could back out of tho j woods a tree had fallen across the , track behind it It was compelled to stand during tho entire storm, tho j trees swaying and twisting above it as j if they would be hurled down upon it ' cvcry'inoment, and the wind whistling ' and moaning, and the storm raging so ! as to make the passengers think the I judgment day had come. So terrified were they that many ot tueni said their prayers, and others sang psalms. The storm extended for about ten miles in the Rogue river mountains. Before the tram could proceed, ten trees which had fallen across the track had to be cut away. On each side of the train the hail covered tho ground until it was perfectly white." The Grant's Pass Courier has the following graphic description of the sterm: Monday was a hot day; the mer cury climbed the tube for a breath of fresh air away up to the hundred de gree level. 'About 3 o'clock great banks ot fleecy clouds began to pile in fantastic shapes high over the moun tain tops. By 1 o'clock, pnfis of wind and minnlure whirlwinds began to scurry through the valley, toying with the foliage and sending up columns of sportive leave-. Higher and thicker and darker the cloud battlements piled in the west, while those in the east, like castles of light riding on bil lows of resplendent silver, loomed in magnificent grandeur. Over and among these aerial mountnius the sun poured a Hood of dazzling glory. "It was a summer's day, a day of clouds." Bv G the western clouds had lloated npward, leaving a broad belt of gor geously sun-lit sky along the western horizon. Soon serpentine lines of glit tering firo began to leap and wind among tho crag-like cliffs of tho float ing eastern storm tower, and it was evident a storm had gathered up Rocrue river. In a short time the loud detonations from tho battle ments on high proclaimed the tri umphant march of the storm. It swept the mountain side on the north side ot Rogue river from Evans creek down to Jones creek; here it deflected to the north, and moved north along the hills, taking about the conrhc of the old stage road to Louse creek and Jump-off-Joc. The roar of the storm tread as it beat over foothill, ridge and Avooded slopes seemed to fill all space, accentuated every few moments with most terrific peals of thunder. Along the central lino of the storm the down pour of rain was almost in credible, accompanied with pauseless volleys of hail. Some of the hail stones were an inch in diameter. The hail beat down growing grain, window lights, denuded fruit trec3 aud in several places killed poultry. Fortunately the storm clung to the mountain side and did not sweep through the thicker settled part of the country, but where it did strike an isolated placo it wrought havoc The streak of farms alomr the old static road from here to Jump-off-Joo are all more or less dam- An Exceedingly Neat and Rapid Boat for Passenger Service. The new steamer Typhoon, Capt W.H. Bergman, arrived from Port land yesterday, on her first visit to this city. She was built to run be tween Portland and Albina, on the Willamette river, but before being used was purchased by the North western Lumber company for use on Gray's harbor, for which place she will start to-day, or as soon as the weather is f avorable. The steamer is built expressly for carrying passengers and with a view to making good time, is licensed to carry 125 passengers, and is calculated to make 18 knots per hour. At her recent trial trip she made 16) miles per hour. The entire deck is enclosed, except a small space on the bow, and at the stern is an open room with seats all around and roofed overhead, forming a delightful placo in a warm day. just forward of this is the ladies saloon with cushioned seafc. The engine and machinery in the centre of the boat is all in full view of the pas sengers who can sit on either side, and forward of this is another cabin or social hall. The boat is 85 feet long, 13 feet wide, 5 feet deep, registered tonnage 25.03, official number 113,517, carries 130 life preservers, a life boat a small boat and a life raft She was de signed and built by J. H. Jolmston at Portland, the boilers by the Willam ette Iron works, and the engines, which are large, costly and powerful, are the work of the Wells Engine company of New York. She is al lowed a steam pressure of 150 pounds and can make 230 revolutions per minute. The steamer is stronglv bnilt 3 all of oak, with copper fastenings, and when fully furnished and complete for passenger travel, will be worth $16,009. Clarence King is the engineer. Yesterday afternoon tho steamer was admired by many as she shot swiftly past the wharves and vessels. On board were Capt Brown of the Alendell, Capt. Reed of the Printer, councilman John Fox and a few others including a representative of Tirn Astop.iax. To show the style of the boat, Capt Bergman steamed up the river past Tongue point and part way across to the Washington channel where the Telephone was met, when turning around, the little steamer fol lowed the queen of the river craft closer than could probably have been done by any other boat on these waters. Astoria wonld be glad to have such a handsomo steamer here, and the people of Gray's harbor may well be congratulated on securing the boat for their use. THE LILLIAN IN TROUBLE. The Owners, by Violating the Marine Law, Are in an Unenviable Position. The United States local inspectors, captain Edwards and Mr. McDermott, who returned from Yaquina Friday, after inspecting several steamers, says the Oregonian, have an interesting case on their hands. The inland steamer Lillian, which was engaged in running from the government jetty at Coos bay, to tho head of navigation, was sold a short time since, and her new owners put two men on her captain and engineer who "were not supplied with the proper license. Although tho boat was not issued a Pacific ocean and coastwise certificate of inspection, captain John Bergman and engineer William Lafley assayed to take tho Lillian around to the Siuslaw. From Florence to Yaquina bay the steamer was run four round trps. While at Florence the captain was ap proached by a clerk in the employ of the government lighthouse service, jvho wished the steamer to act as lighthouse tender for a snort time. Tho captain claims he made some ob jection, owing to his steamer not being supplied with the necessary license, when ho was told by the clerk that ves sels in the government service needed nolicense. Taking his word for it, tho captain prepared the Lillian for whatever work was necessary, and the day the inspectors arrived at Yaquina the steamer was lying at the dock with a load of freight, ready at any moment to go out Being made aware of tho state of affairs, the inspectors notified the col lector of customs at Yaquina, also tho United States district attorney. The collector of customs immediately or dered the steamer to be tied up. Ow ing to tho provisions on board the steamer being sorely needed at Flor ence, a deputy collector was put aboard and the boat was allowed to go back to the Siuslaw, whero she is now tied up awaiting the action of the United States authorities. The owners of the steamer havo placed themselves in a position whero they will be compelled to pay a heavy Cue. The boat, traveling without a license on a new route, and making four ronnd trips as shodid. the inspec tors levied the regulation fine $1,000. Then, the officers not having iho proper license, makes the boat respon sible for another fine of $1,000. It is needless to say that the owners of the craft are feeling very blue, but they have allowed the maritime law to be flagraully violated, aud the end is not yet Columbia River Frontage.

The leftwiugof thestorm extended over this city, drenching it with water and pelting it with hail, but here it did no damage. The water fall was a blespinfr, and it is more than probable that were a balance sheet si ruck it would be found that the storm did more good than harm, but this is poor consolation to those who met tho fury of its center aud lost their fruit and grain.

After examining this portion of our country, embracing the mouth of the Columbia river and its surroundings, and comparing the present with the probabilities of the f ntnre in regard to them we are reminded of a remark made by Mr. Seward in speaking of the great convulsions then going on in eastern Asia "that it is an error to suppose that revolutions will assist designs that are inaugurated to retard human progress." For years it has been the policy of Portland to make that city the oiny shipping depot in Oregon. And with a master hand sho has maintained her policy and built up a rich and nourishing commercial center, notwithstanding there was a possible location for a city at Astoria nearer tho ocean by 111) miles than Portland. This purpose to center in Portland the shipping in terests of the Columbia river caused the lew to be mado upon sea going vessels of every character that engaged in this trade ot a river tax that has been regarded as a great burden and an injury to our com merce. Every effort has been made that could be, to keep the river open for the accomodation of ships engaged in our important export trade. While for forty years Port laud has captured this business, for several years past it has been evident that in timo a great revolution would take place in the shipping business of the Columbia river. It was impossible to ignore longer tho natural and less expensive claim of Astoria to that which has en riched Portland despite the protest and punishment of those who would not help themselves, but who had to support this Portland scheme. While we would not detract for a moment, from 'he good name and fame of Port land which sho will no doubt main tain whether she retains the shipping or not, we must admit that there is a revolution going on very important to Portland and to Oregon. It is the natural result ot the workings of rival seaports. Seattle and Tacoma havo laid claims to the Columbia river trade. The Jetty now being built has caused a change in the channels of the river and has already deepened that leading to the sea. Inthis respect then Puget sound will have no claims over the Columbia river bar. This will not only secure the building of tho A- & S. C railroad, but will force, as a rival of that railroad, the extension of the O. B. & N., or some now road down the river to Astoria, which crosses tho river at Hunter's Point This is tho Northern Pacific. Soon there will bo a railroad down the river to Astoria. It is needed now. Portland will yield to tho great de maud and it will bo built From all these changes a revolution will bo made in the shipping interests and channels of tho Columbia river, as well as in its commercial depots. Everything on the river from Port land to the sea, points to this change. The old plans are passing away, and every interest is centered in the new. Albany Democrat.
