Card of Thanks.

The following from the Baker City
Democrat will be endorsed by very
many: There has custom grown up
in Oregon, that came from nobody
knows where, of the relatives of dec
eased persons publishing a card of
thanks to neighbors, friends and the
public for the sympathy and aid ex-
tended during the illness of the dee
eased. With all Difference to those
who follow the custom, we would sug-
gest that it not good taste. The thanks
are uncalled for and unnecessary. IN
Christian community, the care of the
sick and the burial of the dead with
proper and becoming respect and de-
cency, are not things to return thanks
for, for they are the simple duties of
the friends and the neighbors, acts
performed for Others that others will
repay by performing similar services
for them. Let the card of thanks
cease to appear.

whether or no there was a vacancy in
the office of County Commissioner
for the Second and Fourth Commits
sioner districts of this county;whether
the present a]PPointees should serve
out the unexpired term Of the officers
whom they were appointed to sue
coed or an election be held. At the
last meeting of the county board
Judges of election were appointed for
the several precincts of the First dis
trict but none for the others. The
county auditor likewise failed to give
notice of election in the same dis
As elections are being held
in other counties under identically
the circumstances it seemed just and
reasonable that these officers should
be likewise elected and this suit was
outgrowth. The case was very
ably argued by Hon. J. H. Mccoy,
of this city, for the plaintiff and by
Attorney Lund and Hon. II.
Fl. Potter for the defendants. Judge
held that the appointed
officers held the office for the unex-
oired term of the officer who had
,esigned or died.

THE COLlMA INQUIRY
The Vessel Was Not Inspected Before Her
Departure

SAN FRANCISCO. June 1.-THE FEDERAL
investigation into the circumstance which
led to the laundering of the Pacific Mail
steamer Colima off Manzanillo, Mexico,
on May 26, was resumed this afternoon.
Today's proceedings were unimportant.
S. W. Hawkhurst. superintendent of the
Pacific Mail dock, testified that in 1857
the Colma was thoroughly overhauled
and made nearly as good as new. Before
she went on her last voyage 100 tons OF
rock was put in the after hold. The
Colima carried the necessary canvas and
a drag. Captain Taylor made no objection
to taking the Collma to sen on the score
that she was top-heavy. He testified that
there was about forty tons of lumber on
the upper deck.
Louis Zingaree, the man-of-war's man
who was saved from the wreck by the
San Juan, was recalled. lie said the
Colima would probably have been saved
ht d she had a drag on. The lumber on
her deck. he said, was piled four feet ten
inches high. 1t is now SAID that the
United States inspectors of hulls and
boilers who have been conducting the
Colma investigation, will themselves be
subject to a government inquiry as to
their neglect IN inspecting the Colima be-
fore her departure.

A YEAR ON THE WATER
End Of Cruise by J. II. Wade in a Steam
Yacht

End Of a Cruise by J. II. Wade in q Steam
Yacht
NEW YORK, June II j. H. Wade's
high speed cruising steam yacht Wadena,
which one year ago lett this port tor an
extensive tour of distant waters, has re-
turned to the harbor. having been absent
just one year to the hour. Mr.. Wade and
his family did not reurn with the yacht,
having debarked at Naples. Officers OF
the Wadena explained that patriotic mo-
tives had prompted the yachting party
to so time its arrival at Naples as to Ell l.
able the tourists to EN- bark OH the new
American steamship ST. Louis and form
u part of that vessels passenger com pie
ment on her first trip to the westward.
The yacht visited such frequented and
unfiequented ports in China and Japan
as the party desired to see. One of the
incidents of the marine sauntering along
Japan's coast was the picking up OF dis
tressed Japanese bark and towing it to
the nearest port. While in japanese
waters the mikado sought to purchase
the Wadena, with the intention of convert
ing the craft into dispatch boat, but
Mr.. Wade did not want to part with the
yacht.
A tentative effort on the part of the
tourists to explore the Yang-tse- tang
river resulted in the boat being brought
to halt by the Chinese, who suspected
her of being japanese vessel in dis
guisc. The yacht was released after q
four hours detention.
After being satisfied with Oriental
sights the homeward trip was begun.
The party was landed at Naples the latter
part of May, and Captain Collamore re-
ceived orders to bring the yacht to this
port and have her fitted out for the COM
ing races. The yacht reached this port
by way OF Bermuda, and Oh her arri val
went TO an anchorage off Twenty-sixth
street, East river.
