and much other valuable information. The book
Is worth TEN TINES It's PRICE aud is sold for tn c
small sum of
40 CENTS.
The great difficulty has been with works of
this nature Of any practical value, that the price
has been above what most ilOrsemen and far
secured a wide circulation, and Il deal of igno-
rance respecting the ailments OF the horse has
existed and does exist But the exceedingly low
price of this book places reliable and standard

The Cairnsmore.

Trouble is reported in reference TO
the wrecked bark CdirnsmOre, a party
having gone down to the scene of
the disaster and claimed possession,
at the same time refusing to recognize
the claim of Brown & McCabe, to
whom the vessel and cargo were sold
for $3.50, last Saturday evening. We
are not sufficiently acquainted with
maritime law to hazard an opinion;
the point seeming to turn on the
question whether Captain Gibbs and
crew did or did not ab ndon the ves-
sci. The question has arisen before
in similar cases, here aud elsewhere,
and has proved source of litigation.

A FallaCious Idea.

Occasionally in listening to a dis
cussion Of the railroad question. one
hears it said: "The place is big
enough; | don't want a railroad, I"
etc. This idea is a poor one. 1t i'm
plies weakness on the part of its pos
sessJr, and a total lack Of public
spirit. Rapid communication has be-
come one Of the necessities of the age.
By it better forms of living are pro-
duced, business is quickened, compe-
tition is induced and life made in
every way better worth living. The
man OK the business that is afraid of
the competition that growth entails
deserves no great amount Of considera-
tion. 4 railroad is not ono Of the
prime essentials to place, yet as
present conditions are. few things are
more potent in making a prosperous
city than a line OF railroad-especially
when the city is 4 terminus, and a
competing point.

Ed. Historian:

Ed. Historian:
We, like the Astorians, are very
much disappointed in the failure Of
the railroad. But "what's the use of
sighing." Railroads have been built
before Willard and probably will be
long after his time, and certainly
some one in the near future viii put
their shoulder 70 the wheel and the
shrill whistle Of the locomotive rouse
this part from its Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep and bring to light the undevel-
oped wealth OF this section. The
coal discoveries made here about ore
year since on lands owned by Messrs.
Knapp, Shane, Beiknap and others
are causing some excitement, and
specimens will be on exhibition at the
Mechanics Fair. Besides burning
nicely Its favorable location for ship
ping recommends IT 30 the favorable
attention of capitalists, as probably
500 would build a road to deep water,
and we feel assured that Knappa Will
prove one of the wealthiest places, IS
it Is now the pleasantest on the river.
In your last issue you speak of but
four schools being in operation in the
county. There is is a school in Dist.
No. 4, near the wharf, taught by a
Miss Smith from Portland. TINS

eight months every year. We send

Exploits of a Skipper.

September 1st last the ship Richard
III, Captain Adams, was libeled at
Port Townsend, Captain Adams gave
a bond for double the amount to the
Marshal. The latter claimed to find
the bond spurious, but when he came
back to upbraid the mariner, Richard
III was sliding gracefully out to sea,
towed by the Tacoma. The marshal
saw her and put out in chase in an
Indian canoe manned by sturdy row.
ers and overhauled the ship, but then.
the marshal said, he was confronted
by Captain Adams who appeared on
the ships deck armed with revolvers,
Henry rifles and other weapons.
Before this arsenal the marshal re-
treated and fastened to telegraph to
the collector at Tacoma not TO allow
the vessel to pass the coal station,
but he found the telegraph wires down.
At Tacoma Captain Adams has:ened
to the collector, represented that the
ship was aground, and hurried awaS
with speedily procured clearance pa
pers, and then he escaped the marshal
and his bond of $500. But when
Richard III reached San Francisco,
there were the marshal's deputies pre-,
pared to take Captain Adams in iron;
to Seattle, but the captain could moi
be found, although the search ha:
been continued for more than a week.
Now it has been decided by the own
ers to procure Captain Adams, to have
him arrested and placed under bonds
and abide by the result of his perform
ance with the marshal. +. Bulls

Solved the Problem.

A McAfinnville special of the 30th
ult., says: G. w. Smith, the mur-
derer of Mrs. Petch of Yamhill coun.
ty, who has been on trial for the past
week. was found dead in his cell this
morning. The evidence in the case
was somewhat contradictory, and the
jury was out forty-eight hours. They
came in Saturday evening at $50
o'clock with a verdict of guilty in the
first degree. At @ o'clock Smith was
put in a cell and told fellow-prisoner
that he intended to take morphine TO
end has life. He said the trial went
against hlm, and he did not want TO
be hanged. He took between fifteen
and thirty grains Of morphine, and
died this morning at $50 o'clock.
Everything was done TO try 10 save
him, but it was 10 late. He said
nothing about his guilt OF innocence.
He left a note TO the Sheriff, ln which
he said he did not want his body
opened. He requested the Sheriff to
deliver his body to his wife for burial
and to give his gun, pistol and s37.75
TO Hon. w. ID. Fenton, to do with as
he chose. He wanted his wife exon
Grated from all completely in his
death. The morphine was concealed
i'm the lapel of his coat.

A Radical View of the Situation.

Willard has played his cards to de-
feat the construction of the railroad
to Astoria. The railroad king of the
northwest has never had any intention
OF building that railroad since he got
control of the Northern Pacific And
his false statements now about the
cast of the road only betray his want
of sincerity iii a more noticeable man.
Her. The road will not cost fifty
thousand dollars per mile, as Willard
states, nor more than half that sum.
Ben HOlladay carefully surveyed the
route several years ago, and Thielson,
Who was then Holladay's chief engin-
eer, and is now in the same position
with Willard, said then that the road
could he huit for twent j-five thousand
dollars per mile. Willard simply
wanted 70 trump up an excuse for de-
laying anu betraying the people of As
toria He has used them to promote
his political schemes as long as safe to

erything in Oregon, he gives them the
go by
Mr. Willard is going to Puget Sound
with all his business; and sooner or
later with all his ships. He don't
want any commercial port at Astoria.
lie don't want any business to go to
Astoria either by rail or river, that
can be sent over his railroad to the
Sound; for the road to the Sound is
now blilt. Bonds and stocks are is
sued thereon. The holders of these
bonds and stocks will clamor for in
terest and dividends. Mr.. Willard
must raise that for his supporters, or
step down and out. He will there
fore force every ton OF freight to ira
vel Just as far as possible over his
railroads, so that the roads may be
earning interest and dividends. AL,

We would not discourage the Asto.
ria people in their, effort to secure

the contrary, we urge them to keel
Up the fight. They must sooner oil
later have ali the people of Oregon

port. But, if they can get a roaC
built to Astoria, it will only be upor
the basis that the people of Oregon
through its legislative assembly adop
and enforce the bill known as Senate
CLOVIS bill, of Polk county. This bill
if it should become law, would Civ
an Astoria railroad chance to com
pete for business in all points in tn
Willamette valley, or along the line
of Wizards system to eastern Oregon
OF the Northern Pacific. This, then
would compel the people of Astoria t
support the anti-monopOly movemen

should have done long ago, instead q
