Event Schools Closed.
SALEM, June 13. All Salem and hair
the country around turned out this after
noon to -witness the laying of the corner
stone for the new Odd Fellows' Temple,
.t the corner of High and Court streets.
In this city. A larger crod than will
ever gather on this site was assembled to
iay, for the- opera-house in the temple
will not hold half the crowd that covered
the open floor and the grounds adjoining.
The exercises passed on! very pleasantly
end successfully. The day was warm, but
durintr the ceremonies clouds obscured the
win and a cool breeze sprang up.
The stone laid is a granite block 3x3lsX
12 feet. On the two outer faces is the
legend: "Chemeketa Lodge, No. L I. O. O.
3?., 1352-1B0Q. ' The stone has a cavity Jn
the top large enough to hold such souve
nirs and rel cs as the members of the
order saw fit to place therein. The stone
-Was laid In the northeast corner of the
foundation.
The ceremonies were conducted by Past
Grand Matter George H. Burnett, who
called the assemblage to order and said:
"Jly brethren, we bae assembled on
this occasion to perform an interesting
and irnponaot ceremony, one which
trutt will have its pioper influence upon

which ve stand has been selected upon

Wje are here today to inaugurate the en
terprise byayins live, first foundation or
-cortter-stontf in the structure, with the sol
mn ceremonies befitting such .an occa
soa. The work .so auspiciously begun can

and patient industry; and vie should enter
upon It -with a determination to carry it
0rward to completion, until ts cap-stone

TThe master of ceremonies then sprinkled
4he stone successively with water, flowers
tand wheat, denoting friendship, love and
truth, repeating as he did so the ritualistic
work of the order. He then gave three
"blows upon the stone "with a gavel, and
ealdi
"In bendolence smd charity I lay this
corrrer-stone, earnestly praying that as It
is firmly fixed in this solid foundation, so
anay those cardinal virtues Immutably re
pose in our organization, and'be the con
stant practice of our order."
The architect then handed the master of
cercmonesa trowel, with mortar, and the
latter spread the mortar upon the corner
stone, fixing thereon, the first brick of
tho wall. As he did this he said:
'"As this cement binds together the parts
of the wall, so may the cement of broth
erly affection bind us together during all
the days of our lives here below, and so
may the cenjent of Divine love. In our
Father's own good time, unite us as living
stones in the temple above, tr-e 'house not
made with hands, eternal In the heav
no. "
The deputy grand master then declared
the corner-stone duly laid, and the chap
lain offered an appropriate prajcr.
The audience then assembled in front
of tho sneakers' stand erected on the tem
porary floor and listened to an oration by
Past Grand Master and Present Grand

love and truth as taught by our noble
order, on the shores of the Pacific North

over the river to the great bojond, but
their work has gone on. and the smalt
tree planted "by those pioneers of Odd
Fellowship has grown to be a great oak,
end la now surrounded by 7000 earnest, pa
triotic Odd Fellows, within the State of
Oregon. Their struggles and their labors
have been richly rewarded, and they view
with pleasure from yonder w orlde the con
summation of their fondest hopes, and de

Mills Are Usln-J Bn.t Little Mere

Accnmnlatlas Rapidly.
ASTORIA. June 13. One of the leading
loggers on the lower river states that
about 2,000.000 feet of logs are being
placed in the Columbia every day. These,
at the ruling price, represent a cash value
of about $12,000. As the mills are using
only about U.0CO feet pr day the surplus
Is accumulating quite rapidly. Of course
the season in many of the camps will
last but a few months and then the sur
plus will be cut down. The price now
for both fir and spruce Is $5 per thousand
feet, and one of the main objects of the
Columbia River Loggers' Association is to
keep the price at that figure or at least
proportionate to the lumber markets. An
other aim of the association Is to compel
the adoption of the Spauldlng scale In the
measurement of logs so that the scaling
at all mills and camps will be uniform.
At the recent meeting It developed that
much injustice had been done the loggers
by some of the mills adopting a private
scale, and one logger asserted that he had
lost $5000 during the past two years in
that way.
IVo Orientals Escaped.
The report that came from San Fran
cisco that a number of deported Japanese
escaped from the steamship Thyra while
she was in the Columbia Is emphatically
denied by Deputy Collector Parker. He
says that when the vessel arrived at As
toria she had on board 2-1 deported Japan
ese, one deported Chinaman and 12 Japan
ese passengers for Portland. These latter
were landed at Portland. When the ves
sel sailed out of this port 6he still had
on board the deported Japanese and the
Chinaman. The deported men were not
certified to by the San Francisco officials,
and if any that were ordered deported
did escape It must hae happened before
the vessel reached this-port.
Logger "Wan Killed.
The remains of R. B. Vernoy, who was
accidentally killed in Bremntr's logging
camp at Clifton yesterday afternoon, were
brought to this city this morning. The
deceased was a single man, about 30
years of age and a native of New York
state. He has" a cousin living on Lewis
and Clark River and an uncle residing1
at Hubbard. Oregon. The arrangements
for the funeral have not been made, as
word Is awaited from the relatives of the
deceased, but It will probably be held
under the auspices of the local lodge of
Odd Fellows, as he was a member of
that order.

Peculiarly Branded Snlnion.
A 45-pound chinook salmon was caught
this morning In a trap at Baker's Bay
and delivered to Trescott & Co., that was
very peculiarly marked. On the left cheek
appeared to be three stencil marks or
brands. They wero round and of about the
size of the usual post! cancellation
stamp. The marks had grown In the
skin, evidently having been there for a
long time, as the surface of the skin was
perfectly smooth and showed no evidences
of a scar. Under a strong glass the word
"and" could readily be distinguished in
one of the marks, and in another the let
ters "I" and "J." The other letters had
been so enlarged by the growth of the fish
as to be unintelligible. F. M. Warren,
Jr., secured the cheek of the fish, and will
have it preserved.
Remnant of a. Vessel.
The steamer O. K. has been engaged for
some time clearing the drifting grounds,
used by the fishermen, of snags. There
was one obstruction which gave the glll
netters much trouble, located about three
quarters of a mile below the present head
of Sand Island. When the O. K. attempt
ed to pull It, it was found to be too firm
ly Imbedded to be removed. Two boxes
of giant powder were exploded near it,
and then the grappling hooks picked up
Iron knees of a wooden vessel with planks
attached, some pieces of copper, copper
bolts and several piece? of brass. It is
the wreck of some vessel, but Sand Island
has shifted so much in recent years that
the identity of the ship is not known.

ESD OF TOTEM POLE CASE.
Indictments Against Seattle Cltlecns
Dismissed.
Late Alaska papers contain accounts of
the- dismissal of tha totem pole Indict
ments against eight Seattle citizens. Last
August, while on an excursion to Alaska,
a totem pole was taken by the excursion
ists at Cape Fox. and It was transport
ed to Seattlo and erected in Pioneer Place.
The Indian owners of the relic raised ob
jection, and there fol.owed a general pub
lic agitation, leading to the indictmeats
for grand larceny by the Juneau grand
jury.
Nothing was done about the matter un
til last week at Skagway, when District
Attorney Friedrichs moed that the in
dictments be dismissed. He had Investi
gated the matter, and was satisfied that
no wrong whatever had been Intended by
tho excursionists, although the affair
smacked of vandalism. They had landed
at what appeared to se an abandoned
-vlllago, the Indians being then gone, and
had taken what they supposed was a foi
gotten and abandoned relic. When objec
tion was afterwards raised they set about
to make reparation. The District Attor
ney read a lotter from Father Duncan,
tho missionary, at Mctlakahtla. stat:ng
that tho matter of eettlement had been
placed in his hands, and the Indians had
unanimously agreed to take J5O0. This
waa given them, and they expressed them
selves as perfectly satisfied.
A letter from ex-Judge Johnson, of
the Alaska court, was also read, to the
effect that he had personally Investigated
the case, and had satisfied himself that it
was trivial, and no wrong bad been In
tended. Judge Brown promptly granted the mo
tlon of the District Attorney.
