the best political orator that has ad
dressed an audience in this city for some
time. Me. Schoonmaker held his audi
ence spell bound, being strong in argu
ment, a clear and forcible speaker, and
has a rich store of humor, which keeps
everyone in the best of spirits while lis
tening to him. 'He took up the numer
ous arguments of the Union party and
handled them in eo skillful a manner
that nu one could help doubting tlie
political doctrines of that party. 1

side and fractured two inches above the
ankle. An expressman waa immediate
ly culled, and he was taken to his home
on Fourth street, doctor Doane was
then summoned and reduced the trac
ture, which is a bad one on account of
the leg being broken in the same place
some years ago. He refused to take a
anesthetic, although the pain was in
tense. ' This a very nnfortunate acci
dent, and will no doubt go bard wjtb
Mr. Blakeney. ' -

np to those at the same time last season.
Salmon have run steadily sinc9 the be
ginning of the season, which is consid
ered rather unusual, as past seasons
show that the run increases or lessens,
as the case may be, before the 1st of
June. The weight of the fish is below
the average, 25 pounds, but the past
day or two they are reported, to be in
creasing in size as well as in numbers.

gratifying to the gentlemen, as they
went "not to cajl the righteous, but sin
ners to repentance," '

Preparations . are making rapidly for
the launching of the new torpedoboat
Davis, which will take place at Wolff &
Zwicker's yard Saturday. The river is
nowr rising rather faster than is pleasing
to the contractors, and it is just possible
that the boat will float off of herself be
fore the appointed time. It is hoped,
however, that the water, will recede eufX
ficiently during the week to give the
craft a ehow for her white alley, as it
were, or in other words a chance to
slide far enough to give the launching
the traditional dramatic effect. Long
fellow could hardly have written a poem
about a boat which was lifted up gently
by a flood and carried out into deep wa
ter without a slide or a splash during
the whole operation.

SERVE JUNE 15.
All Districts Save Those Especially P:
hlbtted Soon to He Thrown
Open to Grazing.
Sheep can now go on the Cascade re
serve Jnne 15th. Until this news was
received the sheep men had been very
anxious to get their herds on there
serve, and the day set for allowing the
sheep to pass ;t he lines, Juiv 1st,
seems to them a long way off.
W. C. Willis, of Willow creek, who
wrote to Special Forestry Agent S. B.
Ormsby, at Salem, in relation to the
drought prevailing there, tbe lack of
feed and the necessity of a change in the
date when sheep were to be permitted to
pass into the reserve, received a reply
stating that sheep would be permitted to
go ovrr the lines of the reserve on June
15th, and thatihe time will be changed
to an earlier date if the drought contin
ues. Mr. Orsmby further informs Mr. Wil
lis that, in order that the sheep men
may get into the reservation with their
flocks, it will be necessary to make ap
plication to him, giving name, and post
office address, number of sheep, num
ber of lambs, locality of range, and to
state if this range has been occupied by
them before. ' '
The attorneys of the, sheep men have
been informed that practically a,ll of the
trespass cases now pending, have been
ordered dismissed, and that future graz
ing will be restricted only as to certain
areas about Crater lake and Mt. Hood.aa
well as to the region about Mt. Ranier, -frequented
by tourietu.
All grazing is absolutely prohibited in.
the Bull Run reserve from which Port
land receives its' water. "By, in and
about Mt. Hood in the Caccsdn reserve,"
the general land office refers to that por
tion north of the Barlow road and west '
of tbe summit of the divide east of the
east fork of Hood River.
The closed areas about Crat"r hike are
indicated by the boundaries laid down
in the bill now before congress to estab
lish Crater lake as a national park. '
RIVER BULLETIN.
The Condition of the Cnlumbin Klver
at. Various 1'oiuts.
Through the courtesy of the weather
burenu at Portland we are in receipt of
tbe following synopsis and river forecast
under date of Tuesday, May 31st :
The Snake and Clearwater are falling.
The upper Columbia continues to rise.
At Umatilla tbe rise is but 0.2 of a foot
and at Portland the river rose as was
stated last Saturday. Much cooler
weather has prevailed during the past
48 hours, so that the melting of the snow
has been materially checked.
The upper Columbia will become sta
tionary or begin to fall slightly within
3G hours. The Snake and Clearwater
will continue to fa.ll for four or more
daye. . From Umatilla westward the
river will become stationary by Thurs .
day noon, when a slight fall will begin.
The Willamette at Portland will fall for
several days from Thursaay. The ex
pected' fall will be ut temporary for
with a recurrence of warmer weather
the melting of the snow will be more
rapid and aT"rise in the river the result.
A furthe- rise will not occur until at
least next Monday. .
Yesterday M. J. Anderson, Union
nominee for county clerk, N. H. Gates,
nominee for prosecuting attorney, and

Andrew Urquhart informs us, however,
that their trip was for naught, since not
a eolitary soul turned out to hear theiu.
This is worse thin the report the
Mountaineer gave concerning the audi
ence that greeted some political speak
ers at Enderpby a few days since.
