Capt. Whitcomb, of the steamer
Cascades, is having built a bazoo.
1t is not as big as a calliope. but can
make more noise than a dozen CALI
opes. He is also having the capacity
of the boiler increased, so that the
boat won't have to stop when he turns
loose on that bazoo. He doesn't ex-
pect to wake the dead. but thinks
when he gets that bazoo going every

''Tis weary watching wave on wave,
And yet the tide heaves onward;
We build, like corals, grave on grave,
But pave pathway sunward.
We are beaten back in many a fray,
But newer strength we borrow;
And where the vanguard rests to-day
The rear shall camp tomorrow"

/ The bill of THE AsToRIAN for post
age for the quarter ending Sept. Both,
1889, paid to the post Office at this
place was more than the bills of the
BLGddeT and the Postscript together,
for the same time This is a fact in
teresting to advertisers. The AsTo-
RIAN paid just four times as much as
one, and sixty per cent more than the
other. Put the BIGdder'S postage bill
and the POStScTipt'S postage bill to-
gether for that time, and The AsTo-
RAMS bill is eighteen per cent more
than theirs. This is not the irrespon-
sible statement of a discharged en-
ploye of any newspaper Office, but is
from the q. S. official record. THE
Historian has one thousand dollars
that says that it has the largest circu-
lation of any newspaper published on
the Columbia river.

On the county assessment roll, as it
stands, The Historian is assessed to
pay on S4,700; the Bladder is assessed
to pay on $40; the Postscript isn't
assessed at all. OF course being
worthless it isn't supposed to have
any tangible value, there being moth
ing to assess. The difference how
ever is manifest, and the contrast
noticeable. Even the mortgage on the
Postscript doesn't appear on the
county tax roll: good many mort
cages do, but, like enough, this par
ticular mortgage is worthless. Mean
while THE Historian and other SOL
vent institutions are compelled to pay
higher taxes than if such as the Post
script had something on the tax roll
to pay on.

1t is made of clay, and exactly resem-

The Postscript trying to let Curtis
down easy says that he has ''been as
good a Republican in national politics
as the editor of The Historian" This
is the biggest lie yet. In city, county,

to help elect the Democratic ticket.
