WEST SIDE TELEPHONE,
TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
As a special inducement to new sub
scribers, we make the following offer:
Every person sending ns $2 cash will be
given the W est S ide T ei . ei ’U one for the
balance of the present year free.
This
is equivalent to 11 months for $2. We
are ambitious to make our subscription
list greater than all other pa|<ers of
Yamhill county combined. It is rapid
ly approaching the point.
The Salem bridge is done. The peo
ple of that thriving city can now turn
their attention to paying the $50,000
which it cost.
Fish Commissioner Wallace Bal lwin
ears it will cost in the neighborhood of
$2,500 to put the fish ladder at Oregon
City in shape. For heaven’s sake let’s
have it finished, and put a stop to the
everlasting discussion.
The Salvation Army has not been
very successful in reforming Portland.
In fact, It would seem that the rank and
file of that regiment were only additions
to the already overcrowded ranks of
deadbeats and toughs. They are a bad
lot.
The suit between the stockholders of
the Oswego Iron Works lias been decid
ed in favor of the right of the old board of
directors to manage the affairs of the
company. We hope that the works will
soon be opened and the development of
Oregon’s iron interests resumed.

NOTES AND NEWS.
The Golden chariot French doctors
bilked Portland to the tune of $28,000.
A judgment has been given the Sol
diers' National home against Old Spoon
Butler for $16,537.
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany is engaged in stretching another
wire from Seattle to Portland. The
business is so large that it cannot be
handled by two wires.
Four prisoners in the Multnomah
county jail attempted to escape Friday.
They hud nearly succeeded in cutting
their way out, when they were detected
and locked up in un iron cage for safe
keeping.
Portland News: The rainfall here dur
ing November was less than ever before
known in the histoiy of Portland. The
precipitation was only one inch. Pre
vious to last month, the lowest fall was
in November, 1871, amounting to 2.47
inches. The highest was in Novraber,
1875, 15.77 inches.
The Portland News promises that in
about thirty days it will furnish the most
complete telegraphic repott ever pub
lished on Pacific Northwest, and says :
“The davs of associated press and the
western union telegraph monopoly are
speedily drawing to a close in this coun
try, thanks to John Mackay and the
postal telegraph. The new year will be
a good time to celebrate tlie event.”
The search for and seizure of contra
band opium has become an object of
considerable activity on this coast. Re
cently in San Francisco a steamer was
fitted up and sent out to meet an incom
ing steamer aud search it for tins contra
band article that has been so successful
ly eluding revenue duties. The opium
fiends will probably hereafter have to
pay their regular revenue tax. A few
seizures and confiscations will cause
them to respect the law a little more
than they have heretofore.
All persons knowing themselves indebted
to Us will confer a iavor on us by culling
and settling immediately, as all accounts
are now due.
