The efforts now being made to se cure the cleaning out of the Willam- et above the Falls are certainly worthy of being seconded and en couraged by every one who wishes the prosperity of the section of coun try dependent on that stream for wa ter transportation. From the Salem Record we learn: Capt. Smith, who built the Canal and Locks at the Falls of the Wiliam et, went up the Willamet river some days ago, in the interest of the Linn couDty Central Grange, to examine the Willamet river’and make a report as to the practicability of improving the channel for purposes of naviga tion. Capt. Smith was accompanied by Sy. Smith, a well known river pi lot, who was, of course, able to ex plain the channel thoroughly and point out the places where the most important obstructions are located. Capt, Smith has traversed the river from Harrisburg thus far, and as the great hindrances are located above this point, he has been able to form an opiuion, and that opinion, as ex pressed to a gentleman in* Salem, seems to be that he has discovered no serious difficulty this side of Har risburg that cannot be remedied by a moderate outlay in improvements. He names $80,000 as tbe probable cost oi improving tbe river from Harrisburg down so as to give 3% feet of water all summer at the worst places, and enable steamboats to do a freighting business all the season. LATE NEWS. The New Northwest, of the 6th in stant, published at Deer Lodge,Mon tana, quotes from a letter dated at Sterling, May 26th, written by Wm. M. Quinn, one of the discoverers of the Jefferson River Mines, to R. Har ris, of Deer Lodge, in which he says: “ The diggings on Jefferson rivrr are, without a question of doubt, as good as any man wants—so far as they have been tried. Three men rocked out with a haud rocker, wor king under considerable disadvant age, $51 in about seven or eight hours. That was the biggest day’s work we did. It run from $35 to $50 a day as long as we worked. We got out in the river about twenty feet from low water mark, gravel two and a half feet deep. Under present cir cumstances, I would advise no man to come here with the expectation of going to work, as the river will not permit it before the 1st of August, if then.” A miner just over from the Swauk gold mines says that a nugget worth $160 was recently taken from the “ discovery claim” in those diggings. It appears that while this claim was paying good wages, the other claims were good for nothing. The title to the town site of Van couver is the subject of an extended controversy and much correspond ence between the Common Council of that place and their attorneys at Washington, D. C. The Senate on June 20th agreed to the following amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bill: In creasing the sum for surveys in Ore gon from forty to sixty thousand dollars. Delazon D. Smith, son of the late Delazon Smith, and G. W. Quirey have leased the material and pur- cnased the good will and business of the Benton Democrat. A Washington Territory paper says that the average wheat yield in Yakima Valley is 41 bushels to the acre. The Columbia river had fallen sev eral inches at Vancouver last Satur day, and fears of a flood were subsid ing. S a l e m , June 20 —A most horrible and cold blooded murder was com mitted to day near Salem. A Ger man named Conrad Werner left this city ior home, distant about four miles, about 11 o’clock, driving a team attached to a lumber wagon.— Between 12 and 1 o’clock the team stopped at the usual place of un hitching near the house, and as no one seemed to be driving the team, Mrs. Werner went out to the wagon and found her husband lying dead iu the bottom of the wagon box,— stabbed through the right breast.— The deed seems to have been com- mited near Mr. Parrish’s barn and the corpsp placed in the wagon and the team started homeward. There fire different theories concerning the murder. One is that the man was murdered while in the wagon. A more fiendish and bloodthirsty mur der was never committed. The en tire community is startled. Officers and men are now scouring the coun try in every direction for some trace of the perpetrators of the horrid deed. Mr. Werner was a good citi zen and an exemplary, honest, hard working man. W a sh in g to n , June 19.—A leading Republican member of Congress, who is a frequent visitor at the White House, stated this morning as a broad guess, that Governor Shep herd and Frederick A. Sawyer, late Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, would be two of the persons whom the President would appoint as Com missioners to govern the District of Colnmbi . a d in t e r im . The Presi dent, it is said, within a day or two, has expressed intense admiration for Shepherd, who had grown in his es timation during tlie investigation.— On the other hand, friends of the Governor say he will not accept a place on the Commission, which would only be a temporary appoint ment at best—a big drop from the dictatorship which he had establish ed over tlie District. Sawyer, since being turned out of the Treasury Department, has spent most of his time on the floor of the Senate. The salarv of the Commissioners will be $5,000. The investigation by tlie joint se lect committee of the Harrington bog is safe burglary is still in prog ress. The developments thus far are sufficient no damn tbe whole detect ive system, especially the Secret Service Bureau of the Treasury De» partaient. There is no longer- any reason to doubt that a conspiracy to> ruin the character of Columbus A l exander, one of the leading memori alists before the late District inves tigation, was put up by Col. Whitley Chief of the Secret Service Bureau, and that he was induced to enter up on tbe infamous job by some persons connected with the ring. N ew Y o r k , June 19th.—An Ha vana letter says: “ The American, Fredrick Dockery, is still confined at Puerto Pincipe. He was ten days in close confinement, but now has clean and comfortable quarters, and is in good health and spirits. One of the clerks of the United States Consulate, a girl, at Havana, lias ar rived in Puerto Principe to assist Dockery as interpreter.” N ew Y ork June 19.—A Havana letter states that trustworthy in for- formation through insurgent sour ces reports the arrival of an expedi tion, under Aguiliera, on the north coast, with four thousand arms, six pieces of mounted artillery, and a large quantity of ammunition. All the material was safely landed,, and communication is established with the forces of Maximo G ornez. This is said to be the most important ex pedition gotten up by the insurgents since the first year of the war. N e w Y o r k , June 19.—The Ameri can brig S. Owens, Captain Martin, has arrived from Cienfuegos, with seventeen .refugees from the draft in Cura. They tell a fearful tale of the condition of affairs in the island, and the outrages committed under the conscription. Captain Martin reports that tlie inhabitants, are iu great terror, owing to the relentless manner in which the conscription is carried out. Persons of all ages and conditions are'forced into tbe army, and those too feeble to shoulder a musket are placed in the chain-gang. He frequently saw old men, and boys not over thirteen, chained to negroes and working in the street.— A Spanish officer was standing over them, whip in hand, ready to apply the lash unmercifully upon the least, dereliction of duty. Even Spanish. ■ residents of the city had become dis gusted with the inhumanity of their own race, and were disposing of their property as fast as possible to escape from the island. P o r t l a n d , Me., June 23.—The- Democratie Convention has nomina ted Joshua Titcomb for Governor. W a sh in g to n , Jtine 2 3 .— T lie evi dence before the Joint District In vestigating Committee tends to show that the arrangements for the safe burglary were made by the Secret Service force of the Treasury De partment. The Committee are un derstood to be unanimous in thé- opinion that the conspiracy was got ten up to injure Alexander, one of memorialists in the investigation. P . I>. «fc S. JL. R. It. The following dispatch was receiv ed by Capt. A. P. Ankeny, of Port land, which will best explain itself: W a s h i n g t o n , June 22, 1874. To A. P. A n k e n y : Owing to the great amount of business on the cal endar, it will be impossible to get up the bill this session in aid of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Rail road, in either Senate or House for consideration or action; but the bill having been reported favorably from the committee of both Houses, it will not fail by adjournment, but stand on the calendaa foraction next session, when we have no doubt o f its passage. Had it not been for the press of business taking p r e c e d e n c e on the calendar, it would, without serious doubt, have passed this ses sion. J. H. MITCHELL., J. K. KELLY, J. W . NESMITH,
