Crcsino the Cascades. Mr. Dave Mc
Gully writes back from The Dalles that ho
crossed the mountains by the Barlow road
last week, and found ten miles of soft snow
on the summit, through wbtcn be had to
walk and lead his horse. It was ratlipr hard
work getting over the whole road. Ho went
to see the road and drive back fifty head oi
beef cattle which he found wailing tor hi ar
rival SO miles this side of Dalles City.
Another band of twenty-five head was at the
samo place waiting for the road to be clear of
snow, and lie expects to urive tnem over
next week, when be thinks (he snow will be
off more than when he crossed.
Salmon for the East. The Bulletin says
the steamer Emma Hay ward brought up two
car loads of salmon last evening from
Qulnn's State Rights Fishory, to be shipped
to the E-tstorn States. The peculiarity of
this shipment, tht second that has ever left
the State, is that they are salted down in bar
iels, Just as they come from the fisherman,
uncut. Upon their arrival at the East they
are disposed of singly, as they come from
the barrel, or are dried. The success attend
ing Mr. Qulun's first venture induced him
to mako this, the second, and much larger
shipment.
Capitol Castings. The contract entered
into by the Willamette Iron Works, to, fur
nish tho castings necessary for the State Cap

Return of D. L. Biggs.
We enme up on the train last evening with
Mr. D. L. Riegs, of South Salem, who ar
rived on the last steamer, returning from bis
three mouths absence at the Eist. lie gave
us an Interesting account of his visit to Phil
adelphia and negotiations with the City
Council at that plaoe. His business was re
ferred to a committee appointed to attend to
restoring old Liberty Hall to its original
state, so far as possible, to be in readiness for
tho coming Centennial. This committee ex
amined his model and read the certificates
ho brought of his success in repairing broken
bells In Oregon. The members interrogated
him as to his object in proposing to do the
job, and the old gentleman informed them
that be wanted to make somotbing for his
time and for his invention, and also had, In
common with all other American eltlzsns, a
desiro to have old Liberty bell recnln its
tones to welcome the Centennial morning,
nf the Republic. Mr. Rlggs offered to prove
his invention by experimenting on some
other bell similarly luured, but it was' not
considered necessary tbat he should do so, as
the proof was considered sufficient.
While there nothing permanently decided
as to having the the repairs made, It was evi
dent that the committee became thoroughly
satisfied tbat Mr. Rlggs could do the work.
The matter was left by Mr. R. iu the hands
nf our Centennial Commissioner, Hon. A. J.
Dufur, who feels a deep interest in the suc
cess of his friend. The general feeling is
tbat they do not want the repair made im
mediately, but prefer tbat the bell should re
gain its tone only in time to sound the ad
vent of tho Centennial morning. If it is de
cided on to have the bell restored Mr. Riggs
will go East and do It next spring, and of
course the city of Philadelphia can nfiord to
pay him well for his trouble. At the very
time Mr. Rlggs was before the committee,
another proposition was received to attempt
the restoration of the bell. The committee
could see however, that it was not as good a
plan as that Invented by our townsman,
who we believe has covered the only feasible
ground foj accomplishing that result.
The question td decide is whether it is not
better to preserve the bell in its present shape
merely as a relio of the past, than to haye it
repaired. At last accounts the matter was
referred to the consideration of the National
Board of Centennial Commissioners.
The Temperance Reform Party. The
Oregonian says last fall the State Temperance
Union, which met at Salem, passed resolu
tions to liavo a separate political party, and
appoint a State Central Committee. Follow
ing that, tho Alliance last February did the
.same, and yesterday these committees met
and decided to call a State Convention to
moot at Salom In AugUHt or September to
nomluntn a candidate for Coueiess. They
adopted resolutions relating to the organiza
tion of the party In each county, and making
tho members of tho Central Committee the
Conntv Committee for calling tho County

Almost Drowned. To-day a little son of
Capt. L. S. Scott, named Percy, while play
ing on the river bank near the saw mill, fell
In and came near drowning. It seems that
a couple of other boys were in a boat and
Grant was getting in wheu he slipped off the
boom on which he was standing. He sank a
couple of times before he was noticed by any
of the mill hands. Mr. Haunesaw him aud
jumpod into the water, but was unable to get
nut again when a Mr. Pattersou pulled them
both out, more wet than drowned. Small
children should keep away from the river or
wo may have to chronicle a drowning yet.
Ri:-Electkd. We notice with pleasure
that tho Grand Lodge of Good Templars the

The Grandstand, Last winter the wind
was high enough at one time to unroof the
Grand Stand at the Fair Ground race track.
It was sitnated to face the winter storms and
also to confront the afternoon suns during

probably be built, more favorably located In
these respects, and capable of seating a
thousand people.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
A Young Lady Hissing Strong Suspicion
of Foul Play.
Mr. Editor: I send you the following
facts of recent occurrence. A young lady
living in the neighborhood, between Fox
Prairie and Mount Pleasant, started a few
days since to visit some relatives in Fox
Prairie, expecting to be gone some days. Her
people were not uneasy until yesterday, Juno
10, when Mr. McLave, Road Supervisor, with
a posse of hands was working the road lead
ing Fox Prairie to Sclo, where several went
in search ofa drink of water, and saw some
thing covered up with leaves aud dirt, and
on examining found it to be articles of cloth
ing which were readily recognized by some
of the menas part of the clothing of the young
lady referred to; her name too was found writ
ton on the iuside or the cuffs. Inquiry was
made as to the whereaboutsofthe young lady,
and evidence seemed positive that she was not
with her friends in Fox Prairie as suppose 1 .
The mystery then was, where could she be?
Auother lot of road workers were known to
be near, under another supervisor; so the
clothing were taken over there, hoping to
have so me explantion, also there were sus
picions of a man in tbat crowd, and when
the men arrived, told the story and showed
the clothing, tbat man turned ghastly pale,
choked up and seemed exceedingly uneasy,
showing every sign of guilt. If he should
prove guilty of that poor girl's death, no
wretch on the earth could be more vile than
he. If the minds of people are not relieved
very soon arrests will be made. Excitement
Is running very high; all efforts to find her
whereabouts have failed up to this time.

The Town Flag.
Once upon a time ante bellum there was
a gush of patriotic feeling here in Salem, and
the ladles set to work to provide our city
with a beautiful flag. The sum raised was
one hundred and fifty dollars, and the flag,
which was a beautiful one of great prize,
was purchased in New York, made of the
best quality of bunting. Now the question
is: What has become of our "Star Spangled
Banner?" Where Is our copy of the Stars
and Stripes, which is no longer on hand,
when needed, to float o'er "the land of the
free and home of the brave." The older a
flag gets tho more a community becomes at
tached to it. .This flag of ours had claims to
our especial devotion, because it was a pub
lic ollerlng of citl.ens of all classes, con
tributed at the solicitation of our lady friends
a contribution to the Goddess of Liberty. In
tracing this matter up wo do not find the flag,
but we find a rumor that it was allowed to be
used on some occasion in decorating the
Opera House, and that while there some
theatrical company enme along and when
they packed up their duds they r.towed away
our Amerlcau flag and left us bereaved of
that emblem ot nationality. What are we
to do? We suggest that the ladies of Salem
appoint O. A. Brown a committee of six at
least to collect money to float some more
bunting.
More about Tecumseh.
We all know that Dave Hill, ohlef of the
Klamaths, was lost in New York, and cannot
be found. We have heard that bis compan
ion iu the lecturing and show business, Te
cumseh, was finally back in Klamath land,
safe and sound; and we can Imagine what a
"round unvarnished tale" he had to deliver.
But It seems that Tecumseh was beset with
trnu hies at the very gates of his Oregon home.
He was on the stage with Oliver Applegate,
between Yreka and Ashland, when he too
suddenly disappeared, aud Oliver was dis
consolate. Tecumseh was hunted for, and
inquired for, and it was finally discovered
that some drunken roughs bad frightened
him, at some small station on the road, and
the gallant chief bad wrapped his blanket
around him, und waded across the Cascade
mountains to his native land, which lay Just
west of the stage road. He knew the way
home across lots and didn't want to be pes
tered with poor white trash when he recog
nized every mountain peak as a friend and
knew tbat every mountain gulch was a high
way towards home. It was quite a bother to
Oliver Applegate, however, who feared that
Tecumseh was also among the missing, and
was glad enough to bear tbat his traveled In
dian was sate back Iu his own illibee.
Miraculous. The most wonderful re
covery of bearing long lost, that we know of,
occurred lately at Walla Walla. Old Newell,
editor of the Statevnan there, who hasn't
heard a sound less in size than a thunder
clap for fifteen years, claims to have heard
every word ofa lecture on the Massacre of
Glencoe, and recognized the style as superior
to Macaulay's. That Is the latest miracle in
the wav nf acoustics, or else it Is decidedly
"too thin."
Rev. E. P. Hammond in Portland. The
Portland papers describe the efforts at the
Thursday evening meeting as Interesting and
looking to a thorough organization for re
ligious work for weeks to come. A children's
meeting will take place ou Sunday next.
Evenlug meetings will be held through the
week.
Polk County Treasurer. The County
Commissioners of Polk county, last Wednes
day, appointed Hon. R. S. Crystal County
Treasurer, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the death of the late Treasurer, R. M, May.
An excellent appointment.
Distribution or School Fund. The
State Treasurer, Hon. A. H. Brown, Is finish
ing the distribution of school funds to

remittances by express or by registered let
ters to the proper officers.
A Relic A grocery house In town yes
terday received a half barrel of Island sugar
which was part of the cargo of the steamer
Senator at the time of the explosion. This
package was all they recovered of a lot of
goods tbat were valued at $.100.

What Our Assessor Says.
Assessor tliblmrd is In town to-day and in
forms ns that the work of riding and making
assessments w IU probably bo comploted by
tho middle of July, which will be earlier
thau usual. If the law stands as passed by
the last legislature, the gross amount of taxa
ble property will be largely in excess of
former asRessments,ntid wilt be somewhat
larger In any event. Uo aj h there are many
now comers in Marlon county, and he finds
none who are displeased with the country.
All are entirely satisfied and appear to be
doing well. Those who have no: meant, find
work readily and go right at tt. Ctop pros
pects were never better for lv.li full and
spring sowed wheat, aud the are of whetit
sowed Is at least one fourth ure;er tliu In
1875. He thinks the population, so far km he
has canvassed the county, will hIiow hii in
crease of fifteen per cent, since lfc74. Wnat
little corn has beeu planted don't look
well, and this la no new thlug, us Oregon is
not a corn country. Fruit will bo very abun
dant, especially the smaller varieties. Or
chards generally bear well, especially ap
ples, pears, plums, cherries, etc. Gardens
show some touches of late frost but am gen
erally showing to best advantage.
Baptist Central Association.
This association closes very interesting la
bors to-day, but we cannot get minutes of
the Bession this evening. There were 54
clerical and lay delegates from the different
churches, who wore handsomely entertained
by the community around Turner. The
moetiugs of the Association were held in the
church at that place. Rev. A. J. Hunsaker
was Moderator, Rev. C. U. Mattoon, Clerk,
Mr. A. W. Stannard, Treas. A visiting
brother from Canada, Rev. A. E. M. James,
was present, and also the Sunday School
worker aud Evangelist, Rev. Mr. Bakor, of
whom we spoke the other day Mr.
Baker will preach at the Baptist Church,
Salem, to-morrow evening, and on Monday
and Tuesday evenings at Gervais, and will
go from there to McMlnnville.
State Agricultural College.
We learn from the Corvallis papers that
the annual exercles of this institution came
off last week and evciythlng was most
pleasant and satisfactory. The meetings of
the literary society were conducted in a
very interesting manner and an address by
ex-Jndge Mosber on Saturday evening is
spoken of as particularly excellent. Mart
Brown delivored an address on "Failures In
lifo," on Monday the 7tb, that is well spokou
of. Tho features of the closing work on
Mouduy evening were addresses by Prof.
Kiulev, J. D. Fountain, and au essay by Mis
Rosa Jacobs. Tho prospec:sof the institution
aro said to bo flattering.
Singular Death at Ochoco.
About three weeks ago there was a brutal
light at Ochoco, which became common talk.
Mrs. Stove Thomas was present when it was
being talked about, when she suddenly asked
for some water and fainted and nevor came
to horself again though she lived for four
days. She was apparently in sound health
up to that moment and was in possession of
usual strength and activity. She loaves a
number of young children to mourn her
loss aud the occurrence occaalons much feel
ing In that vicinity.

Uiair Wheat. An emigrant visited the
place of Mr. Henry Shrum, six miles from
Salem, south-east, and took a stroll through
a pieco of veiy luxuriant fall wheat to see
what Oregon wheat was like. Ho putted a
stalk seven feet two Inches high and took it
away for a sample, the head of which was in
proportion, aud gavo it up tbat It beat any
thing he ever saw olsewhoro. In Kansas,
where became from, they thought they were
doing well to get wheat to grow 18 Inches
high, aud to find a field that averaged four
times that, uave him an exalted Idea of Ore
gon. The field of wheat referred to Is a sum
mer fallow and can't be beaten in the State.
Farmers' Warehouse. The lower story
of the Farmers' warehouse Is all up,and con
sists of the most solid framework. The
upper building will be built In an entirely
different way, the structure will be solid
board walls, for the outside walls and Inner
Cartltions, that is walls built up by nailing
cards on boards, thus making walls equal
to solid timber and even stronger than snoh.
This upper story was to be thirty feet high,
but they talk of making It thirty-three feet
