evening of the 31st of Dscembe-. 1888.
aged uine years, three months and five
days.
Otis was loved by all who knew her;
she was q child who always had a bright
smile aud kind word for every one,
and made the life of her parents and all
about her one OF sunshine and haPpl-
ness. In school she was ever an obedi-
ent and diligent little student, at once
the ideal of her teacher and the beloved
companion Of all the scholars. Envy
and malice were to her unknown ele-
ments. When we again assemble to per-
form the dnties of school life. there will
be one vacancy, one little face Will not
be there, and one which will be screlE
missed.
The divine will Of the Creator spared
Otta TO her parents twice before whe q
death seemed inevitable, but through lie
agency of scarlatIna be has claimed his
own. She leaves both parents, one SIS
ter and brother to mourn her loss,
hile two brothers and sister preced'

The loss to her parents is momentous

We have heard rumors here that the
Islander was proving to be not much of
a steamer. But the Victoria Colon ST
speaks of her "quick tina" as follows:
The steamer Islander on her down trip
from Vancouver yesterday, was exactly
four hours and thirty inmates from the
terminal city wharf to the outer wharf
The outer passage was taken, off Discov-
cry Island light, which would make the
total distance travelled eighty miles, or
eighteen miles per hour. The gallant
vessel cut her way through the water in
handsome style, and in the forward
cabin and amidships the vibration was
scarcely noticeable. 1t is expected that
she will be able to make the same dis
tance, when pushed to her utmost speed i,
| within the four hours.
To an Oregontan correspondent Judge
Swan said recently: From CONVERSE
ton with the members of the fish bu-
| reau in Gloucester, last summer, / am
satisfied that If the eXertions of Capt
Jacobs and the other hardy and intrepid
| pioneers, who have come here to inaug-
urate this business, proves success,
| think at least half of the Gloucester fleet
of 600 schooners will be transferred to
| the North Pacific. 1t is like every other
| business. Let anyone make start and
succeed, and every one wishes to rush
in and partake of the profits. The Glou-
| cester stay -at-homes, who ridiculed Capt
Jacobs and the other pioneers as vision
aries, Will be among the first to rush out
here when he has, by his energy, en-
sured success. Where the headquarters
OF the fishermen will be, l cannot say,
but think it Will be somewhere on Pu-
| get Sound, though Astoria is looking to
a big fishing fleet fitting out from there in
| the near future. The Judge further saws :

A. b. Sutherland who for several
years has been engaged in the mercan-
tile business at Memphis, and who at
present is running Patron of Indus
try store, reports that sometime during
Saturday night he was robbed Of about
$500. Mr.. Sutherland went home from
his store at about II o'clock that night,
and before retiring put his money in
between the two ticks Of his bed Sun
day morning Mr.. Sutherland and wife
got up at about o'clock, and a short
time after he went to his store, where
he remained until nearly noon. Upon
returning to the house Mr.. Sutherland
went to get his money and found it
gone. The bedroom window was rails
ed little, but no tracks could be seen,
and at last reports no clue to the rob-
bers had been found. On thing, how
ever, is certain, and that is that Mr..
Sutherland and wife, by allowing the
money to be taken from between the
bedticks upon which they were sleeping
established a record as sound sleepers.
Tuesday night another robbery was
committed at Memphis. Thieves broke
into the i. & p. NJ. depot, blew open
the safe and stole about $50. No clue.
