BAY VIEW HOUSE,
Bakers Bay, Unity. W. t.

MIR. DEXTER INFORMS THE PUBLIC
Nl that his House is now open for the recep-
ton of guests. It's advantages in every respect
over any other Summer Resort are too well
known 10 Oregonians to repeat here. To
strangers / will say that the place is In plain
sight and across the Bay from Astoria, on the
sheltered side of Cape Hancock, and very near
and adjacent to the Fort and Lighthouse on
Bakers Bay, beautiful sheet of water, un-
equaled for Sailing, Rowing, Fishing, and
Bathing. The dark forest, with its picturesque
drives its mountain springs, profusion of wild
berries, wild flowers and ferns, the horse trail
TO the Cane for equestrians or walkers, is one of
the most delightful PanOramas the eye ever
witnessed. The coZy beaches, its caves, luXu-
riantly wooded islands, its views of Astoria,
Chinook, Fort Stevens, moist old Tillamook,
in the distance.
The courteous hospitality of the officers of
the Garrison at the Fort, and also of Mr.. Mum
son and family, of the Lighthouse, make that
place well worthy of a visit.
The Salt Water Bathing in the Bay, within
a few feet of the Hotel, excels anything far or
near for warmth of the water and mildness of
its waves, and is far preferable to the heavy
surf and cold winds Tor women, children, and
invalids, while the strong swimmer, or those
who love the foaming surf, in a few minutes
walk will find a beach unsurpassed in beauty,
hard and level, tor one continuous drive OF
thirty miles. At this end are huge rocks
stretching out into the ocean, from which fish
ers take from the sea Bass, ROckhsh, Tom Cod,
Porgies, ETC., etc. Crabs, CLAIMS, Oysters, ETC.,
are in abundance, (and the Table will never
lack a sufficiency of these desirable adjuucts. }
Boats upon the Bay, Saddle Ponies for the
children, Teams to the weather beach, Gro
quet, Quoits, ETC., FREE to guests.
Prices reduced from the old tariff.
To those who would like to camp out, wood
and water, and the use of ground, free. Grocer
les, provisions, milk, eggs, butter, etc, for sale
at small profit. Campers can board at the
Hotel, if they prefer at fair rates. A large
Livery Stable, two new and fine Ten Pin Al
leys, attached to the place.
Stage Office to Oysterville, Post Office, Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s office also there. No raw winds
or damp fogs, and more beautiful tracks and
shady groves cannot be found. The only re-
gret the Landlord has, is that his house is not
larger; but his grounds are large enough and
beautiful enough to warrant next season HO-
tel worthy Of the surroundings.

General Terry has fallen back eighty
miles from his camp on Big Horn, and
is now near the mouth of Rosebud.
Prairie fires envelope the surrounding
country for miles, and Terry finds graz
ing scarce. A scout from General
Crook got there August I'd in a destitute
condition. Crook was seventy-five
miles away from there, and Indians
were harassing him as he attempted to
reach Terry. The Indians picked off
men, stole his stock, and kept his march
down to about six miles per day. The
men in both commands are reported as
much disheartened. The Yellowstone
is falling rapidly.

How refreshing it is to hear two lords
of creation, with heels at an angle of
forty-five degrees and cigars in mouth,
discussing the "woman question" We
heard such pair the other day. One
said, "How absurd this idea of women
in the professions They have no
mind, and never originated an idea"
Every true" replied his contrere; "they
are only fit for assistants to man. Like
parrots they are susceptible of certain
degree of instruction; but as thinkers,
philosophers, scientists-pooh! the idea
is preposterous." Well, ladies, We'll let
them talk; it won't hurt us, and pleases
them.-GOidep DdUn.

A VALUABLE DIsCOvERY.-Dr. ]. p. Miller, a

ache, neuralgia and nervousness. This is a tri-
umph in medical chemistry and sufferers all
over the country are ordering by mail. He
prepares it in pills, at 50 cents box. The Doc

The NelO Century for Women says i:
"Out of the many cases of sunstroke
treated at the Medical Department, very
few have been women. This fact proves
that either the dress of women is better
suited to the climate than that of men,
or that the system, less heated by slim
ulants, is in purer condition, or per-
haps that they have not only greater
powers of endurance, but know better
how to take care Of themselves and how
to live discreetly."

A Costly Dinner.

The costly dinner given to United
States Senator Sharon at San Francisco
was testimonial from his old silver
mining friends. Tho bills of fare were
silver and cost $42 80 each. OF course
they were carried off Ivy the guests as
testimonials Of the affair. The senator
is about to retire from active mining
life. An exchange says of the senator I:
He became the Jay Gould OF the Pacific
slope. He had things his own way, and
cipher dispatch from Virginia City to
the "bank crowd" would open up o
Sharorian deal, and initiate the market
ten millions. These were fierce times
to the outsiders. California street
weuld be packed with crszed rabble of
operators, making millions as every
fresh breath from the banks lungs
swelled the vast bubble.
But there came another day. "The
king is dead. Long live the king. y
There were two undeveloped mines next
to Ophir, on the south side, but they
didn't amount to much. Flood &
O'Bricn were the owners, and one day
they " struck it rich down in Consoli
dated Virginia and California, and the
stock began to climb up from SO to $50
Then the cross cuts told the width of thu
bonanza, and Sharon saw enough of tht
business to know that he was an outgo
ing man. The stock rose rapidly t.
$500 and over, and then began to pa,
out dividends every month at the rate o
| 80 share. The mine is now pouring
millions into Flood & O'Brien's lap.

The Great Exhibition.

1t is seldom that the preparations for
a great public enterprise are accompa-
MED by such excellent prospects of sue
cess as in the case of the Centennial ex-
hibition. In works of such magnitude,
something almost always goes wrong.
Serious mistakes and delays occur, even
under what appears to be the best pos
sible management. In the Centennial
project, nothing of the kind has taken
place. 1t would be an uncommon Incl
don't for an ordinary private house to be
built with anything like the punctuality
and precision with which the immense
editices of the exhibition have been
constructed; and a similar remark may,
so far as we can at present Judge, be
made in regard to all the other prepara-
tions and arrangements.
The success of the Centennial in re.
gard to the articles exhibited is no less
satisfactorily assured than in reference
to its management. The applications
for space have, both in number and gen.
eral character, not only fully equaled,
but greatly surpassed, The most san
guine expectations. Some of the very
depart nents, in relation to which appre-
tensions were felt that there might be
| deficiencies in these respects, are likely
to be among the most complete and sat-
isfactory Of all.
| OF the success of the exhibition in re-
| gard to the number of visitors, there is,
in the minds of those who have most
carefully CO sidered the subject, no
been made to collect information bear
ing upon this question, and calculations
upon all the data by any possibility OBJ
tainable have occupied no small amount
of time and labor. Nothing in this
matter, or in anything else con-
nected with the exhibition, has been
left to "guesswork )" circum-
stance to which we wish to call par
ticular attention, as constituting one
of the most important causes of the
prosperity which has thus far attended
the enterprise, and an inestimable valu
able guarantee of the success of its fu
ture operations. We may add that the
admirable management which has hither'
to been shown, and of the continuance
of which We have such ample assurance
will form one of the main induceme mt
in attracting large concourse of visi
tors.
To render the exhibition complet,
success n regard to attendance, it obvi
ously was necessary to render it a sue
cess in itself. How well the latter oh
ject has been secured we have alread.
seen. That the other will be no less
satisfactorily accomplished is poin
which is, We think, equally we'll estab-
lshed. York Times.

How to Get Along.

Pay as you go.
Never fool in business matters.
Do not kick every one in your path.
Keep ahead rather than behind times.
Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
Have order, system, regularity and
also promptness.
Donot meddle with businessyou know
nothing of.
Use your own brain rather than those
of others.
A man of honor respects his word as
he does his bond
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
If you have a place of business be
found there when wanted.
More miles can be made in one day by
going steadily than by stopping.
Help Others when you can, but never
give what you cannot affo d because 1t
is fashionable.
Learn to say f" No." No necessity OF
swapping it out dog fashion, but say il
firmly and respectfully.

A Well Expledes.

The Rochester Express says: A very
remarkable explosion occurred at the
house of Walter Cook, about one mile
from West Bergen. Underneath the
back kitchen in the house is well, and
when the servant girl arose in the morn.
ing, she went in there to get pail OF
water. Immediately after she opened
the door terrible explosion ensued, the
house being torn almost , pieces 1he
windows and doors were blown out, and
the lath and plaster were torn on. The
amount of damage was 81, 600. 1t IL
supposed that the gas which exploded
was from the old well under the bach
kitchen, which is about seventy-five fee
deep. The girl and boy were con
siderably stunned by the shock, but ne
one else was injured.
