VERNoN's SUIcIDE-A New Orleans pa
per gives the following PARTICULARS of the
death of Chas. Vernon: "Chas. Vernon,
commissary sergeant at the United States
Barracks, committed suicide by shooting
himself in the left breast. Vernon had been
in the service some time, was good soldier.
aud had a considerable amount of money to
his credit in bank and in the hands of the
paymaster. He was quiet, reticent man.
hence none OF his comrades we're aware Of
the causes which prompted him to take his
life, although it is generally conceded by
the soldiers in the Barracks that he had
than live and see the object of his admira-
ton the wife of another. On the morning
he committed the rash deed he appeared to
he in his usual spirits, and was seen walking
in the direction of the rifle range, and when
asked whore he was going he replied simply,
"Just to take walk A few moments af-
ter he had disappeared from view near the
target two pistol shots were heard, and be-
fore repairing to the locality it was found
that the old sergeant had shet himself twice
in the left breast with an old-fashioued
Colts revolver. Tenderly he was conveyed
to his quarters, and DIR. Renshaw was sent
for, but Vernon was past human aid, and he
died at 1870 o'clock, just four hours after
he had fired the fatal shots. The deceased
was fine. soldierly man, about GO years of
age. hut much younger locking. He was a
native Of Ireland.

SHOTGUN AND H-HooK.-The New
York Forest and Stream, which is a large
weekly journal devoted to fishing and shoot
ing, has just been reviewing the growth Of
these pastimes in America during the last
ten years OF the papers publication. The
editor claims that anglers and hunters have
increased in ratio almost incredible to
those who are not familiar to the subject;
and that these pastimes are held in much
higher repute that formerly. The use of
rod and gun is no longer an indication Of
shiftlessness. The Forest and Stream says
that its correspondents and contributors are
largely distributed among the professions.
Clergymen. lawyers, physicians, editors,
teachers, business men, farmers, and, in
fact, all classes of the intelligent and indus
trious workers of the day. are falling into the
very commendable custom of taking week
or two off in the woods every summer.
Game and fish are not SO plenty as they
were; but the Forest and Stream maintains
that with wise protection in its breeding
seasons the game may be preserved IN fair
abundance for many years to come. The
editor believes In strict enforcement of the
tresspass laws, and says that well-behaved
sportsmen will never find any trouble in
getting permission to shoot and fish; while
the rufians with shotguns ought to be sup
pressed. That strikes us as being rather
sensible talk.

La CANVAS ITEMs.-The dam at the out
let of the lower lake is finished and water
in the lake is raising at the rate Of an inch
a day. 1t is estimated that the reservoir
created at this dam will store a thousand
million cubic feet of water, which, by sup
plementing the natural flow of the creek
during the dry months will give an availa-
BILE supply for 1000 horse power the year
round.
Over fifty hands are employed on works
of permanent character, besides those en-
gagged in clearing the town-site.
The machinery for sawmill with capaci-
ty of 80, 900 feet per day, was landed here
from the CaUiops last Monday.
VIM. McKim has bought the mess house,
and will begin the erection of first-class
hotel as soon as lumber can be had.
A store, blacksmith shop, and livery
stable will open in a few days.
The Caliope makes regular landings here,
going up and down behind Lady island.
The Columbia has fallen so that travel be-
tween Vancouver and Washougal may cross
the ford. A bridge will be built before an
other raise in the river.
Although there is not a house on the
TOWNSHIP yet, La Camas does more business

Card to the Public.

Present unreasonable prices in the Sash e.
Door Factories compel us to buy machinery
of our own to protect us against loss on our
contracts; and while we are doing our own
work we will be prepared to furnish all those
wishing to build, all Of the material usually
found in such places, such as sash, doors,
blinds. mouldings, window frames, door
frames, and in fact everything necessary in
the finishing Of a building. 1t is well known
fact that the present building boom in sopc
places has prompted the factory owners To
put prices where they are unreasonable and
oppressive. We do not propose to hide be-
hind these booming prices aud tell you that
you cannot do any better. We propose to
sell you goods for what it costs to manufac-
ture them here. We do not propose to buy
cedar at from sl2 to $50 per thousand aud
ask you S75 for it. We will keep full line
of California goods on hand all the time.
We expect to have our machinery ready to
set up by the 10th of next month.

ers and Dealers in Wooden and Willow

will deal squarely by their customers. We
advise the trade to call on them, or write to

wish to buy, before purchasing elsewhere.
This will cost nothing and may prove very

The tramp" nuisance has COM
menced again. A Portland exchange
says: Communications from interior
points in this State and the adjoining
Territory lead US to infer that the
northwest tramp boom has COM
menced. On some Of the roads it seems
to require about one person in every
household to attend to the call OF the
Arabs, and the extra supply of cake,
coffee and pie asked for by the visit
orr. In many households the occu-
pants are placed in the unpleasant ne
cessity Of choosing between two
things, either to give something to the
applicants for food, on the principle
that IL 10 better to give to hundred
unworthy fellows than deny one
worthy one, or give not ut all. Here,
where labor 10 plenty, where families
are willing to pay $3.50 day for har-
rest hands. it does seem as though a
tramp was IN unnecessary parsonage,
and that giving these fellows was Of
fsring . premium on vagsbondage. 1t
would be good rule to have wood
pile standing handy to which invite
tsamps before they are allowed to eat.

ton. then the shotgun comes handy.

Train robbers will have a poor show
on the Northern Pacific road. The ex-

double combination safes; the combi-
natien to the inner lock is in the
hands of the agents at the stations,
while the messengers who travel on
road have that Of the outer lock. This
will be pretty effsctual check to

army of accomplices to capture the
station agent and get both parties in
their power who hold the combina-
tions.
