A dispatch from Washs0gal SAYS
that during heavy fog Friday night
the steamer lone ran aground on the
shoals on the Oregon shore opposite
there, while on her usual daily trip. The
noll
to pull her off without success. The
Hustler arrived later but was unable .te

The mechanical appliance for saving
off the piling for the pivotal pier of the
Burnside bridge. in Portland, near the
bottom of the river, 60 feet below the
surface. is a circular saw hung on shaft
suspended from a carriage, which runs
on a frame near the top of the pier.
Steamers passing the pier have to slow
down to avoid breaking the saws, while
this work is carried along.
The heavy 12x12 timbers, fifty feet
long, which teams are hauling through
the city, came down the Mill creek
f1ume of The Dalles Lumb berlng COM
pany, from their mills in the mountains
south west of this city. This is pretty
fair test of the strength and durability
of the fume. The timbers are for
Winans Bros. new fish wheels and ca
BILE cage line. Messrs. Winans are
using 1OO, 900 feet of lumber in their
wheel improvements for the coming
fishing season.
| Inspector Boutelle has been here
fagain inspecting The Dalles postoffice.
1t is currently rumored on the street
that part of his mission was to sup
press Pap Chandler from playing solo
with the sheriff and his deputy 1t is
said that Pap refused to have his
"amusements" suppressed, and sent in
his resignation as Nasby's assistant, to
take effect January lst. This will give
him a week in which to recuperate be-
fore taking his seat in the house at Salem
on the 9th.
The inconvenieuces experienced in
the postofice at The Dalles are owing to
the insnf6ciency of help, the result of
the short allowance by the department
at Washington. Similar complaints
are heard from various other towns of
the northwest. It is the intent of the
government to afford the people celebrity
certainty and surety in the transmission
and delivery of mail matter, but il
seems to be difficult for the officials at
the national ca pital to even comprehend,
far less to keep pace with, the rapid ad-
yancement and growth of the wonderful
region embraced in the designation OF
the Pacific Northwest.
