The Signal Service.

The signal service is endeavoring
10 extend the sphere OF its usefulness
over the ocean as well as the land. 4
number Of sets of pamphlets, blanks
and instructions in regard to taking
observations have been received, says
the Standard, from the chief of the
signal service by Mr.. IL. L. Hearne.
in charge Of the STATEN here, to be
presented TO al sea captains who viii
accept them aud agree to use them.
The parcels contain book of instruc-
tiona from the life saving service for
the use Of mariners in case Of ship
wreck, containing list Of the. .lite-sav-
ing stations on the coast Of the Uni
States, and code OF official danger
and distress signals by which ships
can communicate with them. There
is also \ set Of blanks and card with
Greenwich mean time for any latl-
tude or longitude worked out SO that
all observations can be made at the
same hour Greenwich time daily and
instructions in several different
languages. a war department wealth
er map showing the course of the gulf
stream, and the great China and
Japan currents which strike our coast
at the mouth of the Columbia, one
going north and the other south, and
exercising very beneficial effect on
our climate, accompanies the other
documents, also prepared envelope
addressed 10 the Chief Signal Officer
of the Army, In which the blanks are
TO be. returned when filed. Every
captain to whom these documents
have been offered, by MIR. Hearne,
has accepted them. aud viii, without
doubt, make the expected returns, as
this arrangement is intended especl-
ally for seafaring men. The mfor'
nation sought TO he acquired by this
iplau will be very valuable, and can be
obtained iii no other manner FoI
instance, in case OF ,yphoon, a nnm
Der of ships may be within its radius
and on the verge OF il, and should al

Our regular salmon item does not
appear to-day. The fact is that the
statements are so contradictory that
we hate to risk our reputation for
veracity by giving publicity to what is
said. Yesterday we asked one of the
leading Gamers on the river how
many cases were packed SO far, ap-
proximately. He figured minute
and said: "About $4,000 As he
said that, another gentleman happen
ed along, and having been asked the
same question, said: sat least 15o,-
oo0." Perhaps it is just as well to
add the two and average 1t, which
would make liz, 800 cases and which
is probably near the exact amount.

It Won't Do.


The East Oregonian has started to
do little Dragging, but mixes IN too
much mendacity to sit we'll. We like
TO see newspaper brag; we do little
Of it ourselves, now and then, bat
always keep within the bounds of
truth. Our Umatilla friend says that
his journal contains twenty-five col
uins of reading matter every week. y
That's good; but he goes on 10 say:
"Weekly papers of Oregon never fur
nish moro than sixteen, and some of
them only ten columns. y That's a
nosuch thing. THE WEEKLY AsToEIAN,
bearing date of May 2G, 1882, that
lies on the counter, has ttirty-eight
columns of reading g-matter, and is only
an average number of that useful and
interesting publication. But he again
opens his mouth and puts his foo,
in it: "Onr subscription price," he
says, sis only S3 year, and the week
ly papers charge the same. There
again, the facts are in opposition tC
his argument. That choice compen'
dunn of news, THE WEEKLY AsTo
RIAN, is sent one year for 81.
II isn't often We notice those things
but now and then, when 4 chap with
more than the usual amount oi gal
makes snch declarations, We want hin
toknaw that it will not do We won

The pile-driver across the street

The pile-drlyer across the street Is
g center of attraction at present. All
day long there is a crowd watching the
huge timbers being driven into the
ground, and every time the hammer
falls there is young earthquake in
the adjacent real estate. We rather
like the shaking-up it gives us over
here and shall miss it-oh, So much
when the 300 piles are driven and the
merry cry of the mason is heard as he
cries, fTmort."

G. IN LIMBO.
a High Flying Young soser MarrIes
Once to Often.

Some time since, in January 81,
George Crager, a member of the Sd
cavalry band stationed at Fort d. A.
Russell, became the husband of a young
woman in this city, having been per-
suaded to do so by certain provisions Of
the law hard to get around. For some
time the fellow refused to be reconciled
to the business, ard the twain lived
apart. Crager went TO Fort Collins,
where he engaged as a clerk in q store
there; but after a few weeks his wife
returned to this city and he departed
for the east.
The next stage of the story discovers
the fellow at Palermo, n. Y. where be
celebrated the anniversary of this first
marriage by wedding a Miss Cbesboro
Of that town, whose acquaintance he
had formed while travelling in the cars
some time before. All sailed smoothly
until spring, when the intelligence OF
Crager's first marriage was sprung
upon his newly made relatives, which
led to his arrest and examination upon
the charge of bigamy, and for which he
was bound owe to await the action Of
the grand jury.

There is no use e%numerating the
uses to which the telephone can be put
to from business messages brief and to
the point to a long drawn out conversa-
ton. Now we have a man who kisses
his wife by telephone and as the
aspirated sweetness vibrates on the
wires the thought occurs, supposing it
is some other body's wife at the other
end7 Make sure of your wife and kiss
ahead.
There are some advantages in this
plan. For instance if the recipient of
ths token is Ma. Goodw!n's idea of z
fairy; OF if ''papa" is a "crank", and
the crank is at home; or if you don't
care to have it generally known, where
you bestow your honey. But if these
are not the conditions, the good old
way is the best way; and brother Beck
says so too.
