SHE is A TOTAL LOSS.
Particulars Ofthe Sinking of the Steamer
Dalles City.

The wreck of the steamer Dalles City,
is probably complete, and all that will
be saved of her is the machinery. The
hull and skeleton of the good little craft
that has done such splendid service on
the lower river will remain where it lies
until high water carries it away. From
Mr.. Charles Stone, one of the passen-
gers on the ill-fated boat, we gather
some of the particulars of this wreck.
Mr.. Stone has been engaged in fishing
on the Columbia for several years and
says the night was the worst and the
river the roughest he ever saw it. He
says there was no blame to be attached
to anyone for the accident, and
ascribes it to the boat making lee way
in the terrific gale.
She left the Cascades about 5: 80 and
ploughed through the heavy seas all
right until about 6 80, at which time she
struck. The night was intensely dark,
and Captains johnson and McNulty
were both in the pilot house.
Mr.. Stone is not positive, but thinks
the boat struck on the port side, and
that she had made lee way enough to
get between the sandbar and the rock.
Almost instantly after she struck, one
of the deckhands called to the captain to
| head her for shore, as she was sinking,
but in two minutes from the time she
struck she was on the bottom, Mr..
Stone thinks with the rock on which she
struck still under her. AS soon as she set
tied the crew took soundings, finding that
she was resting safely in about seven
feet of water. The boiler deck aft was
under water about a foot, and the cattle
on board, two carloads, were standing in
SIX to ten inches of water. Some of the
passengers were aG first quite badly
frightened, but were soon reassured by
the officers and crew. The fire box was
Inearly two-thirds full of water, but the
crew fshed wood out OF the hold, and
floating it into the f1re-box, managed to
keep the fire going and to keep up q
steam pressure of from 25 to so pounds.
the high wind creating draft enough tc
permit this being done. Had it not
been for this the passengers would have
had very cold night of it. AS it wa:
it seemed long time till daylight. Off
GERS and crew did everything possible
to make their passengers comfortable
and it was only owing to their indefati
gable efforts that there was no suffering
At daylight Purser Truman Butler
with two of the crew. took small boa
and went to the Cascades for help, risk
ing their lives in doing so. At 10 :3t
one of the hog chains parted and thu
bow of the boat settled, but fortunatel,
the boat did not careen, and shortly
after the steamer Maria, belonging t.
the Days, which had been secured by
Mr.. Butler, came alongside and took of
the passengers and cattle. The hog
which formed part of the carge are still
on board, but will be gotten off the frs
opportunity.

Four Commercial Travellers.

Not long since in IA certain New

travellers met for the first time. At

bonhomie peculiar to the craft they
were soon engaged in conversation.

"Gentlemen, suppose we begin,
being all strangers, with the gen
tleman opposite me, to introduce
oorselyesaand cur firms business.
This was unanimously agreed 10.
Said number one: Il am Dash, and
represent the house Of Pain & Co.,
selling glass bottles"
Sad number two: "Well, gentle
men,. it is ITO chance that come
next, for [ represent Davis & Go: |
am Davis, and sell the stuff that
goes into bottles: ! sell wines and
liquors"
There was a moments silence as
NUM- Der three said; "That gentle
men does seem a little strange, but
perhaps there is a fatality about
this, I am Jones, Of the firm OF
Justin & Co., dealers in undertakers
goods"
Number four now remained 81
lent and suggested that it would be

Their, and that it would haye been
we'll never to have started it.
After much urging to complete
the chain he said; Gentlemen, it Is

Chat silver was not legal tender
in sums exceeding $40 and it re-
quired the production Of copy Of
the REVISED Statutes OF the United
States to convince them to the con-
trary. The act Of 1878, generally
spoken of as the characterization Of
silver, dropped the silver dollar en-
tirely from our coins and provided
that "the silver coins of the Unit
