OREGON fishermen complain of the
injustice OF State law which compels
them to suspend operations on Sum
day, while on the opposite side of the
river, in Washington, the wheels and
nets run all day, the same as the re-
mainder of the week. The point is
we'll taken. Aside from an observance
of the day in respect to those who be-
lieve in its sanctity, the future benefit
to that industry from the increased
product of salmon should induce re-
spect for the example set by our sister
State.

Ocean Horrors.


The wreck Of two steamships in mid
ocean without the usual attendant OF
severe storms, has been reported the
past few days. The Colima, with lS2
persons on board, including passen-
gers and crew, foundercd off the coast
OF Mexico, Monday, and it is thought
all were lost excepting fourteen pas
sengers and five OF the crew, who
reached Manzanillo, Wednesday, in
one Of the ships boats. Whether any
others escaped is not known. There
were six life-boats at the davits, but as
the vessel sank before the boat had
gone but short distance from her, it is
not known whether any more people
had time TO reach distance OF safety
or not. 1t is supposed that the loss is
due to some accident to the machinery.
1t is believed by the Pacific Mail
Steamship Co, who owned the vessel,
that a boiler must have exploded.
The scene OF the disaster was about so
miles from Manzanillo, and the time
o: its occurrence IL: 10 at night.
The Colima sailed from San Fran
cisco on the 18th inst. for Panama
and way ports. She was due at Man
zanillo Sunday. She carried 1l2 pas
songers, 40 in the cabin and sc whites
and 46 Chinese in the steerage. The
officers and crew numbered 70, max
ing 1S2 in all. The name of J. f.
Chilberg, prominent citizen of Seat
tie, appeares in the list of the missing.
He was on his way to Guatemala, as
agent of Calhoun & Co., to dispose OF
cargo OF lumber, lime and flour,
which had been shipped some time
ago by schooner from that city.
Another Seattle passenger was A. ].
Sunderland, who is likewise supposed
to have been lost. The name of still
another victim mailing from Seattle
appears in the latest dispatches-that

profession.

Latest dispatches place the number
of lost at 1888.
The French steamer Dom Pedro
left Havre, France, on the Doth inst,
for GARLIC, Spain. She was wrecked
off Carrubedo, on the west coast OF
Gallacia. The date OF the disaster is
not given in the dispatches at hand

sci Immediately sank. There were
20 passengers and q crew of 40 on

as only the captain and 90 OF the crew
are reported saved, the death roll

tiful and intelligent. She was plump
black eyed and bewitching, and young
Houston, in one of his forays, met and fell
in love with her. 1t was a common thing
in those days for white men TO take Indian
wives, and Houston asked the squaw's ia
ther, Wichita chief, for the girl
With Indian avarice the old man fixed
her value in blankets and trinkets. The
deal was made, and Houston took his
squaw bride to Texas, where they lived
together for years. One day the longing
to rejoin her tribe became too strong to
resist, and Mrs. Houston ran away from
frontier civilization to the tepees of the
Wichitas. Houston never reclaimed her,
and there she has been ever since, freezing,
starving or feasting in turn with the rest
of her tribe.
What makes the old squaw's story of
greater interest is the fact that at Wood
ward, o. t., only $50 miles away, lives
Temple Houston, youngest son of the ia
nous Texan. Mr. Houston is bright law
yer, with a large practice, and has an
army of friends in the best social, business
and professional circles. That he knows

rescue rushed of for brandy for the girl

waistband where the skirt and bodice
unite. 1t wants good figure with the
