Astoria comes to the defense of Capt.
Whitehead who has been relieved of his
command of the Baltimore because of
petty jealously at San Diego, Portland,

Portland has finally awakened to a
sense of the situation and decided to

left over from last year.

In consequence of the bridge burned
at Wythe, cars were unable to run be-
tween Dalles city and Portland. Pass
engers, mail and express, were trans
ferred by boat, and this gave rise to a
rumor, which spread like the itch, that
| the Regulator company had purchased
the Union Pacific railroad. 1t is prob
ably unnecessary for us to state, for the
benefit ofintelligent readers, that there
is no foundation in fact for the rumor.
That sack of political infioeence which
reposes on the safe at the Umatilla house

81 900 in the sack. Skibbees entrusted il
to a man who was to take it with him te
.Antelope, but somebody got on to tbs
racket, and for fear of prosecution he
shipped without it, and now the sack
and its contents is considered contra
band. 81
