taken the work, and not one dollar will
be asked from subscribers until the
completed book is delivered to them
Although a large corps Of experienced
men are now engaged in collecting data
for this work, yet the field is of such a
scope, that 1t will be fully year be-
fore the book will be ready for deliv-
cry. Since coming to Astoria Mr..
Wright has secured a number of very
interesting pictures of the old time
fleet, and of the men who operated the
earliest vessels on the river. Engrav-
ings will be made from all of these
pictures, as we'll as from some of the
modern feet. Mr.. Wright would be
pleased to have parties possessing any
old pictures or data of interest in a
work of this kind, leave the same at
the office of Warren & Brown, Third
street, next to Olsen's cigar store. The
best of care will be taken of pictures,
and they will be returned as soon as
the engravings are made.

Our Exhibit Of
Native Forestry

A perfect forest of beautiful trees
moved up the river to Portland on the
Union Pacific Company's boat last
night 1t was Oregon's display Of
growing native vegetation for the
Worlds Fair. Early last summer Mr..
Johnson, the local florist, was COM
missioned by the managers of the wo-
mems building at the fair, to make a
thorough collection Of the native trees
of this state, and to ship them to the
of April. After this, however, Mr..
Johnson also received an order for
trees covering the total exhibit of Ore
gon, and for several months he trav-
elled over every portion of the state,
taking care to secure none but. vigo-
rous and handsome specimens. These
he has preserved in large tubs filled
with loan, and today they look as If
they had never been taken from the
virgin soil. The collection includes
every kind of evergreen plant that
is a native of Oregon, and numbers in
all over forty varieties. A pavilion Of
all the marketable wood in the state is
now being made in Portland, and the
majority of the trees will surround
this structure in the state building.
Some of them are to be planted in the
grounds, and the balance will be dis
tributed equally among the women's
and the forestry buildings. The plants
have been taken from every variety
of temperature, from 5000 feet above
the sea level down to the growths by
the water. Johnson says that every
precaution will be taken when they get
to Chicago to prevent harm being done
to them by the change in temperature.
He takes with him, in addition to the
trees, a collection of native flowers,
consisting mostly of lilies and rhodo-
dendrons, and handsome set of ma
tive mosses and preserved flowers.
These mosses will attract great deal
of attention They include every speci-
men for which the state is famous, and
will open the eyes of Eastern people to
the wonders of nature in this part of
the world. Some of the tree moss is
six inches in length, and the whole
collection will be kept perfectly fresh
and green throughout the exposition.
johnson has also secured for the Ore
gon building the two largest elk heads
on the Pacific coast, several quails and
Chinese and golden pheasants. He has
during the last few days, obtained
handsome planks of sawn spruce and
fir from the Clatsop Mill Company Of
this city, Alpine lumber from the Bri-
dal Veil mill cut 1000 feet up in the Cas-
cades by the company's loggers, and
a fine lot of Southern Oregon timber
from the Grants Pass mill.
He states that the Oregon branch of
the commission desire that all the ex-
hibits from this state shall go to Chi
cago in the same train, and that this
decision will cause some delay as the
collectors will be considerably
behind with the work, owing to the
shortness of time given them and the
bad state of the roads.

A VALUABLE WORK.

The Marine History of the North
west. for which Mr. E. w. Wright is
now in Astoria collecting data, promis-
es to be one of the most valuable ad-
ditions yet made to the historical liter
ature of the Northwest, and as Astoria
was the point at which the marine in
dustry began, the work will be of more
than ordinary interest to Astorians.
No attempt to preserve anything like
a perfect record of this most important
factor in the developement of our
western world" in concise, accurate
and reliable form has ever been made
heretofore, and Mr.. Wright's efforts to
rescue from oblivion much lore and
data which is fast being lost through
the death of the promoters of the in
dustry. should meet with success.
The work when completed will con-
tain a complete record of all marine
craft, and of all prominent men con-
nected with the business from the
time Captain Gray entered the Colum-
bia, down to the present time. 1t Will
be profusely illustrated with steel en-
cravings, and half tone engravings of
all the historic boats, and of the men
who operated them. The production OF
a work of this kind involves the ex-
penditure of many thousand dollars, a
fact which has had much to do with
the former neglect Of the matter. For
tunately in the present case no obsta-
cles of this kind are to be encountered.

The logs that came down from Oh

were yesterday dumped into the bay,
having been found to be a parody on
Oregon lumber. This morning Mr.. Fin

chosen with as great care as the time
would allow. The fir is eight, the
spruce ten and the hemlock six feet in
diameter. They will be shipped i'm

The following dispatch was received
at the Hawaiian consulate in this city
yesterday:
Department of Foreign Affairs, Homo
lulu, H. l., Marsh 6, 1893.
Sir: am directed by his excellency,
the minister of foreign affairs, to in
struct you to refuse to issue to any for
eign built vessels, ships or steamers Of
any class, a temporary register cer-
tificate of Hawaiian ownership, sea let
ter or any document allowing such

.obediept servant,
FRANK P. HASTINGS.
Secretary.
James G. Swan ESQ.,, Hawaiian Con-
sui, Port Townsend, Wash.
If the Hawaiian Islands are annexed
to the United States, all vessels under
the Hawaiian flag will be admitted as
entitled to fly the ensign of the United
States. There are hordes of foreign
vessels which could never come under
the American flag except by first be-
coming Hawaiian vessels, and to pre-
vent this the provisional government
of the Hawaiian Islands has wisely is
sued the above instructions to all the
Hawaiian consuls. With this exception
the business of the Hawaiian consul
ate here will be conducted under the
same rules as have been practiced un-
der the former system of government.
