Vancouver to Portland by Ferry and Astoria Prospects

The writer recounts a rough Sunday journey by ferry from Vancouver to Portland, meeting delays and a barefoot robber rumor, and notes crossing Love's Slough, then reaching Portland to stay at the What Cheer House. They describe the Okanagan steamer voyage to Astoria, praise Captain Motiger and crew, and sketch Astoria’s improvements and a prospective Astoria Salem railway project with estimates of distances and timber wealth.

Financial turmoil and reform talk sweep Washington

The Herald reports unusual activity at the State Department on a Sabbath, likely for dispatches to Minister Dobson. It notes Laird & Co seeking proceeds from captured Alabama blockade runner, a missing Treasury clerk with a several thousand dollar deficit, and Van Wyck urging reform of revenue frauds. Colfax vows strict retrenchment and honesty in the next administration, with renewed Treasury vigilance to protect credit and currency stability.
