The Tillomook Headlight in a recent
issue complains bitterly of the mail SER
vice between Astoria and Tfllamook,
and devotes particular attention to the
horse service, which it characterizes as
especially bad. 1t appears from evil
dence furnished by several of the Sea-
side residents, that the Headlight is
alone in its position, and that a more
faithful servant could o be found
than Dick Sales, who faces all kinds
of weather in travelling on horseback
owe n of the toughest and most Ian
gerous roads on the coast in carrying
the mail between Seaside and Tilla-
nook "Beachers'' say no matter
how threatening or wild are the ele-

Use, and no storm can keep him from
climbing Neacarnie mountain and

Mongolian's disease was. The captain
was enraged upon being instructed that
his vessel would have to be quaran-
tined, and vented his spleen upon the
~inoffensive Chinaman by brutally kick
ing him with the pretext that the sick
man was in his way as he walked tow
ard the ladder leading to the upper
deck. Applying a vile epithet to the I'M
fortunate being, he kicked him with all
his force, and was thoroughly ashamed
of himself upon hearing the disapprov-

the act.

Is driven piles are principally used
for foundations along the water front
in Astoria, the following account of an
experiment lately made in San Fran
cisco, is of interest. The mud all along
the front of San Francisco is deeper
and softer than here and piles have to
be driven to greater depth to give them
the required DEMONSTRATING capacity:
A pile ninety-two feet long, sixteen
inches in diameter at the large end and
eight inches at the small end, was driv-
en- at the old approach to the ferry
slip. The top OF the pile was three
feet below the city. base and the end
ninty-f1ve feet below the same, and
seventy-three feet in the mud. On thi'
pile a platform twelve feet long was
built and loaded with $4,000 pounds of
pig iron. Comparative levels were talk
en- and the iron was allowed to remain
there for "a hours. Notwithstanding
the severe test a close examination
showed the engineers that the pile had
not sunk a fraction Of an inch. The
Specified piles for the proposed founda-
ton are to be eighteen inches in di-
ameter at the large end, to be driven
LOG feet below city base, with their
tops twenty-six feet below city base,
and will probably at the utmost never
have to stand as great a pressure as
ten. tons.
