sacks of Puget Sound potatoes were put
up'at auction yesterday afternoon, but,
after the sale of 1850 sacks, the remain.

Nothingshas been heard from the es.
capped prisoners, and there is but little
doubt that they are'weil off this time.
The Ludlow sawmil has shut down and
will not b9 repaired until after the sale
of the property next July.
"0regon potatoes" are daily III the
I"San Fran lisco market reports but Wash

to that city many more potatoes than
Oregon does; but then San Francisco

them differently.
Uha,lie Davis, the young brakeman
WHO was crushed between two cars ON
the Northern Pacific Railroad near Ka
lama, last January, died in Portland Oh

away and evidently approaching near to
the grave with each succeeding day.

capable of ,managing the horse and be
was pitched unto the gutter; the fall

Capt. Pierce and four of the crew Of
the coast steamer Newport have met an

Ten thousand head are for Lang & 'Ryan,
and six thousand for Edwards and Ed

seen ON the North Pacific coast.

Moore has left Seattle with NO intention
of returning, He went to Sam Francisco
about one month ago and was to have
returned on the City of Panama this

the instigation OF suit by FecheimOr ol
San Francisco for the recovery of seven

that Moore, who was thought to have
gone below for the purpose of paying
