good opportunity for those interested

Drummond Tobacco Co. OF ST. Louis,
Mo, arrived on the Arcata yesterday
from Marshneld. Mr. Davis reports
he has been two months on Ihe coast,
and from the best information he was
able to gather he considers that section

Mckinley. He says that II was a sad
sight at Coos Bay jettey where only
the tops Of the masts Of the unfortunate
steamer Arago are visible. He brought
away with him a piece Of the upper
deck as a memento Of the wrecked YES

ages.

methods employed in that kind OF work
by paying a visit to Mr.. C. f. Bain's
lot at the corner Of 18th street and
Grand avenue. which is now being grad

hill is being cut of by a 3-lnch stream
Of water, and washed through sluice

Judge Cray yesterday received ad-
vices that the locks at the Cascades
will be opened to the public on the 5th
Of November next. The date Of the for
NAL celebration has not yet been fixed
upon, but that 1t will be a gala day for
the entire state Of Oregon goes without
saying. This event will mean to the
farmers in the counties bordering on
the Columbia river better prices for
their grain than they have heretofore
obtained. Wheat loaded on barges and
steamers can be transported TO the
mouth Of the Columbia without transfer
or breaking bulk. This together with
the railroad facilities which will be es-
