Public improvements.

The improvement Of our important rivers and
harbors should be promoted by the necessary
appropriations. Care should be taken that the
government is not committed to the prosecution
OF works not Of public and general advantage,
and that the relative usefulness of works Of that
class is not overlooked SO far as this work can
ever be said 10 be completed, do not doubt that
the end would be sooner and more economically
reached, VI fewer separate works were under
taken at the same time, and those selected for
their greater general interest we're more rapidly
pushed TO completion. Work once considerably
begun should not be subjected to the risk and do
terioraton which interrupted or insufficient APP
preparations necessarily occasion.

Two years ago Max Young aud
wife Of upper Astoria pre-empted 80
acres. of land on John Days. They
went and lived on it for year and a
half and then moved back to upper
Astoria. A day or two ago Mr.. Young
was offered $50 an acre for the prop
erty but refused it well knowing that
he could get better price for it. The
Historian is informed that since then
Messrs. Carruthers and Worsley have
offered Mr.. Young $1,000 for a strip
of 30 acres of the property but he still
refuses to seell it. This is not indica-
tive of ''boom," but is an example
of how property is appreciating in
value here and hereabouts.

There is considerable government
work required in the custom house
over the shipments of British Colum-
bia salmon to San Francisco, via As
toria. For instance, on the 1856
cases, which arrived on the LGkme,
triplicate papers have to be made out,
and .triplicate set of bonds furnished.

case. The duty is 25 per cent, and
bonds must be given for twice the
amount of duty, or $3.50 on each
case. On 1856 cases this makes
$48, ,36040, the bonds which the o. r.

the goods, yesterday furnished. One
copy is sent to San Francisco, one
copy to the treasury department at
Washington and one is kept on record

its safe arrival in San Francisco the
bonds are Cancelled and tho bopdsmen

HUSTON is PIOUED
Because He Cannot Peddle Out
HOOSier POStoffices

WASHINGTON, May 25.-United States
Treasurer Huston left Washington for
indianapolis yesterday afternoon. 1t
has been whispered for some time
among the Indiana people here that
Mr.. Huston was dissatisfied, although
no one has gone so far as to express the
belief that he might resign his Office.
Mr.. Huston has been dissatisfied with
the distribution of Indiana patronage,
his recommendations having been dis
regarded on several occasions. 1t is
not Known, however, or believed, that
the president made an expressed
or implied agreement to turn
over to Mr.. Huston any por-
ton of the Indiana patronage.
Mr.. Huston's private secretary said
to-day: "Mr. Huston will return to the
city by Thursday next. He has gone to
his home for the purpose of arranging
to bring his family to Washington.
During his visit he will also make an
inspection of the indianapolis sub
treasury. These are the only reasons
why he left Washington. 1t is not true
that Mr.. Huston has failed to secure
appointments in any but the postoffice
department and pension Office, for his
recommendations have had their effect
outside of these places" Attorney

ONLY TWO GIRLS.
One Was Nun.Like in Her Deport
ment and the Other Wasn't.

San Francisco Examiner.
1t was on the San Jose train, and two
young ladies-One as serious and good
as little nun, the other with black
eye with the DEVILS own CLINT in it-sat
behind the youngest minister in town
The quiet one held in her hand pur-
pie pansy so large that it attracted the
attention of the young minister. While
he was still looking at it the train rushed
into tunnel.
The black-eyed young woman grabbed
the pansy in the darkness from her
companion. and, leaning over, dropped
it into the lap of the godly man.
When the train reached daylight
again the young minister had turned,
and, with the pansy in his hand, was
glaring reproyingly at the nun-like girl
between whose fin gers he had seen the
flower. Her face was blazing, and her
downcast eyes seemed to confess her
guilt. The whole car snickered, and
the malicious black-eyed girl read her
book unconsciously.
That is why the young minister
preached on the ihiquity of flirting yes

THE WAR IN HAYTI.
1t Is Claimed That Hippolyte Is
Winner

New YORK. May 25.-The steamer
Ozama, which arrived to-day from
Cape Haytien, May 1s, brings
gossip differing materially from
reports received prior to her arrival.
These were that Legitime had the upper
hand, and that his government
had been recognized by France
and England. The state of affairs,
as the Ozama's people were informed.
was that on May Hippolyta moved
south from Gonaives and engaged Le-
gitime's forces halfway, completely
routing them. On the 18th word was
received that Hippolyte's army was in
camp thirty miles from Port au Prince
awaiting reinforcements. Vice Consul
Singleton says that Legitime is gaining
ground and says that Germany and
Spain indicate an intention of joining
other powers in recognizing him. He
attaches some Importance to the Boston's
appro" "hing visit. and thinks her object
is 10 tax final look preparatory to ac-
titn by lnis government. The Boston
is expected to sail in about two weeks.
