President Harrison approved the car
coupler bill yesterday. The car coupler
now in general use on freight-cars is a
very primitive affair and has cost more
loss of life and manned limbs than any
other device known to railroads. There
is no dearth of better ones, for about
1000 patents have been granted in the
United States alone on car couplers. The
reason none of them have been adopted
furnishes commentary on the stupend-
Gus magnitude of the daily business done
In America. To replace the old coupler
for new one would require at least a
days stop in freight traffic all over the
United States. OF course it must be
done simultaneously. On passenger
service it is different, as each line owns
their own cars and change could be
effected with comparative ease. Now
that the car coupler bill has become a
law, an end will be accomplished that
will save Eloss of life and limb, besides
inspiring hope in the heart of some 1000
inventors, one of whom will suddenly
make colossal fortune.

Of Interest to Merchants.

The suit of A. s. Collins and Mrs. A. s. Collins
against H Herbring of this city, which was to
come before the jury yesterday morning, was
again postponed. This suit against of our
Oldest and best-known dry goods merchants
creates considerable comment in commercial
circles. 1t appears that Mr.. and Mrs. A. s. Col
Inns obtained under false pretenses and promises
at the endsof the year 1891, goods to the amount
of $5o.So from the defendant; but instead of pay
ing the bill, agreed, they shortly afterwards
left the city by night and moved to California.
Last spring Mr.. Herbring learned that all their
household goods, ETC., We're in the hands of the
sheriff of Wasco county, and consequently placed
a second attachment upon the goods held by the
sheriff. portion of these goods were sold last
December by the sheriff of wasco county, as no
