In an admirable review of the business
interests of Maine for the year 1883, the
Bangor Industrial journal states that tdur-
ing the year Maine has made a steady ad-
vance in manufacturing development and
business prosperity. There has been the
greatest development in the multiplication of
small manufactures and in the cultivation
OF those industries for which Maine has, by
situations, climates, or resources, an advan-
tage over other States. The great majority
of Names diversified manufactures have
found good markets and the manufactures
have enlarged rather than contracted their
operations, and increased the number of
their employees. Many new buildings such
as churches, school houses and public halls
have been constructed. These, with the
introduction Of water WORKS in Maine vii
lagos, are indications of greater prosperity
and more conyeniences and comforts among
the nponle

John Mcdonald, premier of Canada, the
Hon. Oliver Mowatt, premier Of Ontario,
and the Hon. George E. Foster minister of

were. They are officers of the Canadian

honor and private ambition alike unite to
make them against annexation. But how is
the feeling down deep in the hearts of the

TUGGED BACKWARD BY CRAB BEFORE
 THE WHOLE BRITISH FLEET.
 Ter No. 7, and after that the cannonading from the bow, the stern, the starboard and tho port guns of the great battle ship went on whenever there was visible object on the ocean which looked in the least like an American coasting vessel or man-of-war.
 For a week Crab K lowed steadily to the south this blazing and laundering marine citadel; and then the crab sig naled to the still accompanying repeller that it must be relieved. It had not been fitted out for so long cruise, and sup plies were getting low.
 The syndicate, which had been kept informed of all the details of this affair, had already perceived the necessity of relieving Crab K, and another crab, we'll provisioned and fitted out, was already on the way to take it's place. This was Crab c, possessing powerful engines, but in point of roof armor the weakest of its class. Itcould be better spared than any other crab to tow the Adamant, and as the British ship had not, and probably could not, put out another suspended cannon, it was considered quite suitable for the service required.
 But when Crab c came within half a milo of the Adamant it stopped. It was evident that on board the British ship 0 steady lookout had been maintained for the approach of fresh crabs, for several enormous shell and shot from heavy guns, which had been trained upward at high angle, now fell into the sea a short distance from the crab.
 Crab c would not have feared these heavy shot had they been fired from an ordinary elevation; and although nc other vessel in the syndicate's service would have hesitated to run the terrible gauntlet, this one, by reason of errors in construction, being less able than any other crab to resist the fall from 8 great height of ponderous shot and shell thought it prudent not venture into this rain of iron, and moving rapidly beyond the line of danger, it attempted to ap' proach the Adamant from another l quarter. If it could get within the circle of falling shot it would be safe. But this l it could not do. On all sides of the Ad amant guns had been trained to droI ] shot and shells at distance of half g mile from the ship.
 Around and around the mighty iron clad steamed Crab c, but wherever she went her presence was betrayed to the fine glasses on board the Adamant by the bit of her shining back and the ripple about it, and ever between her and the ship came down that hail of iron 1T masses of quarter ton, half ton, o' nearly a whole ton. Crab c could no venture under these, and all day she ac

expected Oltlnatcly 10 pound Ill the rOOI of the crab. No damage had been done to the vessel except tho removal of a portion of the boom, with some of the chains and blocks attached, and no one on board the British ship imagined for 3 moment that this injury had been occa- stoned by the distant rcpeller. It was supposed that the constant firing of the cannot had cracked the boom, and that it had suddenly snapped.
 Even if there had been on board the Adamant tho means fer rigging up an- other arrangement of the kind for per pendicular ;.r,iilevT practice. 1t would have required a long .me to get it into working order. and the director of Re peller No. hoped that now the British captain would see the uselessness of con- tinued resistance.
 But the British captain saw nothing of the kind, and shot after shot 11om his guns were hurled high into the air, in hopes that the great curves described would bring some of them down on the deck of the repeller. If this bcastly l store ship, which could stand fire but | never returned it, could be sunk, tho Ad- amant's captain would be happy. With tho exception of the loss of her motive power, his vessel was intact, and if the stupid crab would only continue to keep | the Adamant's head to the sea until the noise of her cannonade should attract | some other British vessel to the scene, l the condition of affairs might be altered.
 All that day tho great guns of the Ada mant continued to roar. The next morn ing however, the firing was not resumed, and the officers of the repeller were greatly surprised to see approaching from tho British ship a boat carrying a white flag. This was a very welcome | sight, and the arrival of the boat was awaited with eager interest.
 During the night council had been held on board the Adamant. Her can- nonading had had no effect, either in bringing assistance or in injuring the enemy; she was being lowed steadily southward farther and farther from the probable Ecigilborhood of British man of-war; and it was agreed that it would be the part of wisdom to come to terms with tho syndicate's vessels.
 Therefore the captain of the Adaman, sent letter to the repcller, in which Inc stated to tho persons ill charge of that ship that although his vessel had beer injured in q manner totally at variance with the rules of naval warfare, he would overlook this fact and would agree tt cease firing upon the svndicate's vessels provided that the submerged craft which was now made fast to his vessel should attach itself to the Adamant's bow, and by means of a suitable cable which sht would furnish, would tow her into Brit ish waters. If this were done he would guarantee that the towing craft should have six hours in which to get away.
 When this letter was read on board the repeller it created considerable mer riment, and an answer was sent bacl that no conditions but those of absolute surrender could be received from tn British ship.
 In three minutes after this answer hat been received by the captain of the Ada mant two shells went whirring ant shrieking through the air toward Repel

WESTER.N ENTERPRISE.

The rapid growth of the great west
is phenomenal, and forms the most in
teresting feature in the history of the
nations development. 1t is the result
of energy, wit, foresight and practical
common sense, combined with won
de,ful natural resources.
The men who have made the west
what it is, and who are laying the
foundations of it's future greatness,
have been and are men of brains
and energy. Whatever else may have
been lacking in the make up of many
of them, they have all possessed these
two characteristics; that is those who
have succeeded. With all the natural
wealth of fertile prairies, rushing rivers
and mineral veins of fabulous wealth,
it requires the same qualities. of self
denial, activity, enterprise and untiring
effort to succeed here, as in the east,
but the results are glorious, and those
who have come to stay, and who have
come in a spirit of independence and
honesty, will not regret their choice of
home.
In some parts of the east the west
has a hard name. Vice and crime
have, perhaps, in the early days been
more rampant west of the Rockies
than elsewhere, owing to the inchoat:ve
state of the country, its unsettled con-
dition, the numerous avenues OF escape
and the hordes of toughs who have
found here more remuneratlve heid
for their games against humanity than
in the more staid east.
But it is gratifying to note that edu
cational and religious institutions keep
pace with the development Of the land
in the direction of material wealth ano
prosperity. So noticeable is this, thai
it is frequently remarked upon by
strangers from the east, and many O.
f our comparatively small towns would
put to shame cities of much larger sizs
in the east. This is an indication
also, that the roughness of western
frontier life has practically passeo
away, and that the rehnements
amenities and Injuries are taking th'
place of former hardships. 1t is Ger
tain that it will take many years for th'
: west to drop back into that state o
Indifference and lethargy in these
: matters which characterizes many
: places in the east, but it is we'll to bt
on the guard from the beginning. Th'
D church and the school, wherever they
: go, bring countless blessings of wealth
1 morality, good breeding and intelligenc
in their wake, and any communit
which fails heartily to support am
! cherish such institutions is certainl
r. sowing seeds that will bring fort
r, bitter fruit.

The catch of salmon in Oregon for
the past season will fall somewhat short
of the catch for the season of '8S, says
the state fish commission. There has
been packed on the Columbia river, in
eluding the Washington side, $4,000
cases, or 15,600,000 pounds, which
would require about 1000, 900 salmon;
against $4,000 cases in 1888. The
shortage is mostly from the vicinity Of
the Cascades, and was owing to the
extremely low water, which prevented
more than one half of the fish wheels
from taking any fish, and many Of
those that did take fish, only ran for a
short time, and caught but few fish

LET the citizens of Corvallis remem-
Der that it requires something more
than the laying off of "new additions
to make this city of more than ordinary
importance. More factories to furnish
labor for the working men, greater in.
ducements toward getting outside
capitalists turned this way, and gen
eral improvements IN our present con
ditlon, are needed. When the popu
lation increases so that there is nc
room in the city's limits then "addi
tions" should have their required
amount of attention.
