More Complications in the Failed City Bank at Los Angeles An Old-Style Suicide. A contest is on at Olynvpia for title to Steamboat Island. The Fritter river salmon pack is the largest ever put up. The Apaches are again off their reser vation. The news has just been brought to Tombstone, A. T. Tillamook (Or.) hoodlums put in their evenings cutting the legs ana tails from eats and enjoying their miserable death. The four national banks at Portland which closed their doors recently are de clared solvent, and they may soon re sume business. The Succor mine in Gold Hill (Nev.) district has discovered that the Justice mine has been taking ore from its ground, and a heavy suit for damages is likely to fojlow. Rev. David B, Taylor, ex-minister of the First Congregational Church at Sau salito, Cal has Drought suit against hie former congregation for damages amount ing to $3,262.50. The Olive Orchard Company at Sacra mento is going in the business on a large scale. A contract to place 11,000 trees on the ground the coming season has been entered into. More complications are developed in the affaire of the failed City Bank at Los Angeles, and a complaint charging fraud has been entered against parties con nected with the bank. At Victoria, B. C, the Printers' Union has reduced the scale of newspaper work 10 per cent. Machine hands will get (22 per week; hand compositors, night, 46 per 1,000; day, 40 cents. William Young, who threw a lighted oil lamp at Irene Mansfield at Los An geles, causing death from the frightful burning she received, has been found guilty of manslaughter on the third trial. The Washington National Bank at Ta coma has been placed in a receiver's hands. An attempt was being made to get it out of the Comptroller's hands when the latter checkmated the bank officials. The present progress of the Southern Pacific extension justifies the expecta tion that the road will reach San Luis Obispo in six months and make a through route to the East in six months after that time. Seven San Francisco Chinamen, know ing Tacoma was anti-Chinese, became frightened while being driven from the Portland train to a boat at the wharf at Tacoma at the sight of crowd assembled at a fire. Without waiting to consult the driver of the gurnev they cut the straps on the doors and, breaking them open, ran back to the depot and hid. They left their baggage behind. At Hot Creek, Hye county, Nev., Richard Gluyaa, superintendent of the Hot Creek and Rattlesnake Mining and Milling Company, an Eastern corpora ' Hon, committed suicide. He went to the mill and set fire to thirty cords of wood, climbed onto it and shot himself. He was entirely cremated, only two small pieces of bone and the fragments of a pistol being found. He left a will disposing of his property. In 1872 the exports of prunes from California amounted to nothing. So rapidly has the industry grown since that date that last year the exports of this fruit from California reached 30, 000,000 pounds. Numerous orchards are coming into bearing year by year, and still more are being planted. This as regards California. In conversation with fruitmen from Oregon we find tliat or chardists in certain sections of thal8tate have caught the fever and are planting prune trees by tens of thousands. So with Idaho horticulturists. Right and left these same fruit trees are being set . out, and as in all these localities named this fruit thrives and yields abundantly, one can imagine the condition of this industry in coming years. Here is some thing for planters of new orchards to consider. Another attempt may yet be made to rescue thesteam collier San Pedro, which went ashore near Victoria nearly two years ago. This time the Moran Bros, of Seattle have taken the matter in charge, and if they find that it will be worth while to try and save the San Pe dro, they will make one final effort to do so. The Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany, which is the owner of the San Pedro, has, it is said, been in correspond ence with the Moran Bros, for some time. The company is anxious that the San Pedro shall be saved. She cost nearly (250,000, and it will lie a heavy loss to the company if she is not recovered. However, the company does not care to upend a lot of money in removing the collier from her present quarters and then find that she has been down so long as to become absolutely worthless. In order to determine her value the Southern Pacific has arranged with the Moran Bros, to make a personal inspec tion of her. BUSINESS BREVITIES. Over 100 kinds of vine are made in Australia.

CHICAGO EXPOSITION. In the Oregon display is an exhibit that attracts much attention. It in cludes a working model of a gold placer mining outfit. A large amount of guld huaring dirt is ut hand for demonstrat ing the whole process of panning out the gold, and at stated intervals the plant is put into operation. Thin exhibit is not surrounded with glass, and it is an amus ing sight to see iwople hunting over the saiid and dirt for particles or appear ances of gold. Near the north end of the forestry building are shown 6ross sections of trees from Oregon. Thore is a yellow fir log six feet in diameter. Tlie yellow fir grows all over the Northwest Coast Range Mountains, It is of superior ex cellence for ship-building and spars. It ranges from two to ten feet in diameter.
