The work done by Corey Brothers for
the Astoria and Columbia River Rail
road has perhaps never been excelled,
IL equalled, on the Pacific coast. The
grading, tunnellng. trestling and bridge
work is Of the highest order known to
engineers. The rip-rapping OF the grade
along the river shores is superior to
any work OF this class ever put up in
the state, The rock work is eighteen
inches in thickness and each stone was

wHALERs RETURN.

Three more whalers arrived here
since Saturday night, two from the
Arctic and one from the Okhotsk sea.
The bark Charles w, Morgan came
in from the Okhotsk, and she had one
more passenger than when she sailed
from san Francisco last December.
Captain James Earle was in command
when she cleared. but he has new
mate who doesn't know much about
handling ships, but who suits the cap
tain very we'll for all that When the
Morgan left here last year she cruised
down toward Honolulu in quest Of
sperm. That was not the only quest
that Captain Earle had in mind. He
was looking for steamer from New
Zealand on board of which was some
one dearer 10 him than all the whales
he ever caught. The passenger was a

him and he and she were made one
and started for the Okhotsk sea for
their honeymoon. 1t was perhaps the
most novel honeymoon ever known, but
1t has not yet waned, and Mrs, Earle
is not altogether dissatisfied with life
on a whaler but she says there are
some things Of which she is very fond.
For one thing she is very glad to get
back to San Francisco.-San Francisco

valued at 100000, She will sail to-
day, While coming down the river from
Portland the Durbridge ran aground on
one of the numerous shoals and it was
only by the combined efforts of the
steamers Hassalo and Hayward that
she was towed into deep water. The
steamers brought her off in a hurry
and she ran out of the channel on the
other side, striking again. She was
easily floated the second time.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.

Rev. ]. ]. Walter of the NJ. E. church,
was reminded last evening that he had
reached another milestone on life's
journey.
Not feeling very well. he was prepar-
ing to retire, when called to the door,
and for an hour a stream Of members
and friends poured into the parsonage,
filling all available space, each bringing
generous supplies for the larder until
the kitchen looked like a grocery store.
Conversation and music made the
evening pass most pleasantly, each
wishing the pastor many returns of the
same anniversary.

AT LAST HE
GIVES IT UP
Even Jones Now Thinks Bryan Is De-
feated, and So Advises Him.
HE EXPLAINS THE DISASTER
Says II Was Coercion and intimidation
by the Money Power and subor-
nation OF the Press.

Chicago. November s.-Chairman
Jones. issued the following statement
tonight:
The result Of the presidential elec-
tion is apparently no longer in doubt.
It has been one OF the closest contests
that the people have been called upon
TO determine in years. We have claim
ed the election on our advices from
states that were admittedly 10 doubt,
in which we know there had been many
frauds and from which were evidences
OF tampering with the returns. 1t seems
now to be apparent that Mr.. Bryan, af-
ter making the most brilliant campaign
in the history Of our country. and hav-
ing carried most Of the states claimed
to be doubtful, has not carried enough
to assure his success in the electoral
college. The Bryan electors have been
chosen from all OF the states south OF
the Potomac and Ohio except West vir-
ginia, and all those west Of the Missou-
ri except California and Oregon He
has 100 electoral votes and this num-
Der may be increased by finaI returns
from the states yet in question. He has
not obtained enough votes to carry the
electoral college. Thus this remarkable
campaign closes with the election Of
William Mckinley.
The result was brought about by
every kind Of coercion and Intimidation
on the part OF the money power, in
cluding threats Of lockouts and disunls-
sails and impending starvation; by the
employment Of by far the largest cam
patgn fund ever used in this country
and by the subcrnation OF a large por-
tion of the American press.
THE president-elect and his party
are under pledge to the American peo-
pie TO continue the gold stdndard and
by its operation to restore prosperity to
this country. As chief executive Mr..
Mckinley viii have the cordial support
Of millions Of patriotic Americans who
have cast their votes for william Jen-

with none of the mutterings that would
have come from the money power, had
it been unsuccessful.
They are confident the gold stand
ard cannot give the promised prosper
ity but will gladly welcome it If II
comes. They win continue the great
struggle for the uplifting Of humanity
and the maintenance Of the dignity Of
our country in the establishment Of the
American monetary system. And the
Democratic party. aided by its present
allies, will still uplift the bimetaInc
standard and bear it on to victory.

WHEAT MARKET POOR.
Several Features Tended to Bring
About a Reduction in Price.

Chicago, November 5.-Everybody ap-
Z peared to have wheat for sale when
trading in 1t started. december, which
was worth 7611 as the session was clos
ing yesterday, was urgently pressed
for sale at 75z cents, but practically
none could be disposed OF until IL was
offered at 75A cents. II was only a
minute or two longer until there were
no buyers at over 70 cents. and half
hour from the opening it sold at tx.
stop-loss orders in great number Of
instances could not be filed until the
loss had largely exceeded the limit set
by the brokers' customers. There was
considerable disappointment in the ca
bles. which came lower in spite Of our
sharp bulge yesterday and it had a
depressing tendency on other news. All
outside markets were much higher than
this one.
Cash wheat was in excellent demand
and for the most part brought within
y or y cents of yesterdays price. even
when December was down 2l4cents. Too
much had evidently been bought. in
expectation of an immediate big ad-
vance after election. and those who had
not seized yesterdays opportunity to
take their profits had evidently begun
to think it was now time to take what
might be left.
Beerdom's report on the worlds
wheat supply, which increased 1905, 600
during october, was another weaken
ing factor, as was also the reports
afioat that later eletcion returns show
ed the success Of the free silver candi-
date. This report. which had been tele-
graphed into the country, brought a
good many selling orders.
AT the close December was selling at
74s cents.

Worthy Your Confidence.

The success Of Hoods Sarsaparllla
in conquering scrofula in whatever
way it may manifest itself is vouch ID
for by thousands who were sever ely
afflicted by this prevalent disease, but
who now rejoice over permanent
cure by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Scrofula
may appear as a humor. or it may
attack the glands Of the neck. or
break out in dreadful running sores on
the body or limbs. Attacking the
mucous membrane, it may develop
into catarrh or lodging in the lungs
lead to consumption. Come as it
may, a faithful course Of treatment
with Hoods Sarsapsrilla will overcome
it, for working upon the foundation
of all diseases, impure blood, the
system is clarified and vitalized. and
yigor, strength and health restored
