OREGON IN 1830 First Book Descriptive of the Pacific Northwest. LIBRARY ASSOCIATION HAS IT It Contains Trro Slaps, "With, Odd Xaxnea of Rivera Written by Hall J. Kelly, A. M., and Published In Boston. Librarian D. P. Leach has just secured for the Portland Library Association a copy of what is believed to be the first book about Oregon ever printed, for which he has been advertising for three years. It is entitled "A Geographical Sketch of That Part of North America Called Oregon, Containing an Account of the Indian Title, the Nature of a Right of Sovereignty, the First Discoveries, Cli mate and Seasons, Face of the Country and .Mountains, Natural Divisions, Physi cal Appearance and Soil of Each; Forests and Vegetable Productions; Rivers, Bays, etc; Islands, etc; Animals, the Disposi tion of the Indians and the Number and Situation of Their Tribes, Together "With an Essay, on the Advantage Resulting from a Settlement of the Territory." In the preface It is stated that "the sketch has been prepared for tho beneht of the friendh of the Oregon Coloniza tion Society, as well as those of mankind in general. ' The book, which consists of 80 pages, was written by Hall J. Kelly, A. 1L, was printed In Boston In 1830, and has at tached tno maps, an old outline map of the country between the Pacific and the headwaters of the Missouri, drawn by H. T. Kelly, show lng the Columbia River, with its main branches, Lewis' River (Snake), and Clark's River, and the Mult nomah River (Willamette), and an out line of the Coast and Cascade Ranges, with Mounts Baker, "Regnler," Hood and Jefferson located. The names of the lakes and harbors along the coast are given, and Deer Island and Wapato Island (now Sauvie's Island), are marked, but no town or settlement appears on the map, but the locations of a number of Indian vil lages are marked. The second map Is much more complete, and is given as "a representation of Oregon, from the best authorities," but is neither dated nor signed. There are a number of forts marked on this map, as Fort Umqua, Forts "Van couver, Nisqually, etc., and the names of many rivers, etc, are very different from those now in use, as "Walla Matte" tor "Willamette. "Quicksand" for Sandy, "Killlmoux" for Tillamook, "Rougue Clamet" for Rogue, "Saptln or Lewis or Great Snake" for Snake, and many mora of the same kind. The author was evidently an expansion ist, as the book concludes with the fol lowing paragraph: "These hastily-written observations must be concluded with the remark that all nations who have planted colonics have been enriched by them. England acquired a supremacy of the ocean and all her national influence by it. America lias a better opportunity and fairer pros, pects of success to emulate such exam ples. She can set up in business her full grown and more affectionate children nearer home, and on a richer inheritance, and can receive to herself greater bene fits. The present period is propitious to the experiment. Tho free governments of the world are fast progressing to the con summation of moral excellence, and are embracing within the scope of their poli cies the benevolent and meliorating prin ciples of humanity and reform. Convinced of the utility and happy consequences of establishing the Oregon colony, the Amer ican Republic will protect and cherish it, and thus enlarge the sphere of human felicity and extend the peculiar blessings of civil polity, and of the Christian re ligion to destitute and destitute nations." BOTH EXPERT BOXERS. Promise of n Close, Lively Contest Between Denny and Riley. Martin Denny, who is matched to box Jimmy Riley at the Exposition Building Friday evening will leave his training quarters tomorrow evening for the baths. There he will pass his time until the eve of the contest, taking light exercise, so as to keep below 135 pounds, the weight at which he will enter the ring. Speaking of his chances last evening, Denny said: "I am a sure winner, but I hate to be made heavy favorite over Riley, who is a strong, aggressive boxer, with a fine chow to win from any one of his weight. His contests with Cocker Tweedie, 15 rounds; Jlmmie Lawler, IS rounds; Young Corbett. 10 rounds; Doc Flyn, S rounds, and other men of less note too numerous to mention, have demonstrated this. I like to best men, however, with good rep utations and records, as It always assists a fellow to get other matches. You can bet that I will win." Riley, when told of his opponent's con fident statements, laughed and said: 'Walt until Friday, and he will get the "biggest surprise he ever ran up against. That is all I have to say." The clubrooms at the Exposition Build ing have been put in first-class shape. Arrangements have been made to have the steam turned into the radiators early in the afternoon, so that the building will be thoroughly heated by the time the doors are opened to the public MURDERED A CHINAMAN. Ruffians Shoot One Celestial and Beat Another. The police were busy yesterday run ning out clues in trying to find the man who shot and killed Jo Way Sow. a Chi nese hop-gatherer, in his cabin at Raleigh, Washington County, last Monday night, and also the men who assaulted Loo How, who was with Jo "Way Sow at the time of the murder. The motive for the crime was revenge, because Jo Way Sow and Loo How gathered hops at 5 cents less than their white competitors. About 11 o'clock Monday night E. R. Welch, a farmer, who lives at Raleigh, was awakened by Xoo How knocking at his door. The Chinaman was badly bat tered about the head, and he was nearly speechless with fright, but he managed to gasp out: "Man kill Jo Way Sow." Convinced that some tragedy had .taken place, "Welch aroused his farm hands, and the party proceeded to the China men's hut, where they found Jo Way Sow dead. He had been shot The hut bore marks of a furious struggle, and three sticks stained with blood were on the floor. Loo How said that he and Jo Way Sow gathered hops, and so far as he knew they had no enemy in the place. Four men broke Into the hut, and one man shot Jo Way Sow, sajlng as did so: "That settles you, anyhow." Then the men cubbed How and he remembered no more. The Sheriff of Washington County was communicated with, and seeing that Loo How required surgical attention, Mr. Welch hitched up his horse and drove the wounded man to police headquarters in this city. Here Loo How Insisted on being taken to a Chinese lodging house at Second and Taylor streets, and be came hysterical when the police sug gested that he be taken to a hospital. "Me want Chinese doctor," the wounded man pleaded, and he had his way. Later Dr. Rand examined Loo How, and stated that he would recover In a short time. Then the Chinaman's mind got clearer, and he told the police that he recognized the voice of the man who shot his friend, and he named a tradesman at Raleigh. Armed with this Information. Deputy District Attorney Spencer, Dep uty Sheriffs Meyers and Frazler and De tectives Snow and Kerrigan started for tho scene of the murder. The man mentioned by Loo How as having fired the fatal shot was found by the police and detained, but as he -proved a clear allhl. he was afterward released. Jo Way Sow's body reached this city last night, and it was found he had been shot In the neck with a 45-callber bullet. Hls Jacket, containing 537 05, was found out side the hut, about 100 yards away. GAME DECLARED OFF. Multnomah "Will Not Play the Salem Clab Jfext Saturday. Tho Salem-Multnomah football game for Saturday was declared off last even ing. Sheriff Durbin, maanger of the Sa lem team, was in Portland yesterday en deavoring to bring matters to a final issue between the two teams. The game had originally been scheduled for Friday in Salem. "When several of their players were found who could not make the Salem trip, tho Multnomah Club officials made a counter proposition to play in Portland Saturday. Last evening, at the conference between Sheriff Durbin and George McMillan, act ing manager of the Multnomah team, the latter made a nronnrtilon in nl.iv tVi J Salem team games In Portland December is ana January l, urging that Saturday's game be postponed for the reason that there would be Insufficient time in which to advertise it, and make it a success. Sheriff Durbin refused to consider this counter proposition. "Either," said he, "play Saturday or not at all." "With that ultimatum he left the club. Consequent ly, the game is off, since the Multnomah Club officials in charge of the team In President Cake's absence will refuse to take the responsibility of pulling off the match Saturday, as they say, without suf ficient notice or advertising. m One Adjective Omitted. PORTLAND, Or Dec 3. (To the Edi tor.) Permit me to mike a slight cor rection in the report of my sermon of jesterday morning. I am quoted as say ing that evolution, "as a scheme for dis pensing with God and Christianity, was not only publicly repudiated over their own names by more than 600 of the lead ing scientists of Great Britain a few years ago, but probably is repudiated to day by the great mass of scientists and scholars In all countries." The quotation is correct, excepting that it should have been "natural evolution." and the state ment credited to E. F. Burr, D. D., LL. D., author of "Ecce Coelum." I am aware that there is a theory of the evolution of man that is called "Chris tian Evolution," but it is the same old thing, only it has been rebaptlzed. In treating of anything so exact as the so called Christian evolution. I do not want to even leave out an adjective. ROBERT M'LEAN. How to Get the Best Ale. Order Evans'-and see that you get it.

Unfamiliar Sight of the Fluid Caused Him. to Repent of Hl Evil Way, Temporarily. Chance, or some more Influential friend of. the Salvation Army, furnished them last night with a fine example of the ef fects of the demon rum, against "whom they spoke a few well-chosen words In front of the Third-street entrance to the Dekum building. "While an ex-tank who has seen the error of his ways was nar rating some of his experiences from be hind the bass drum for the edification of the audience, a young man who has evi dently been extending -his Thanksgiving into a protracted and continuous drunk, pulled up at the edge of the pavement, and, suddenly starting back, stared in front,, of him, with his eyes bulging from their sockets, and observed: "Golly, Shnake! Got 'em, ot 'em shure, Snake! white snake mor'n a mile long; got em. Take me hoshpltalquick. Look at 'im! Look at 'lm! Golly, whatablgwhite shnake!" The things this young man said and the manner In which he said them natur ally attracted some attention among the crowd, which was of unusual size, and so closely was attention riveted on his pallid face and his piteous walls to be taken to the hospital that It was some time before any one looked in the direc tion toward which he was wldldy point ing. But presently one of the men near the edge of the pavement followed the poor fellow's gesture, and, starting, a little himself, exclaimed: "Well, Tm d d If there ain't something down there!" Some temporary derangement of the arc lamp on the corner had caused the car bons to spit and sputter, and they gave but little light for the moment, the sud den change from the fierce glare to the milder glow of the lamps In the store windows partially blinding the people on the street. Directly in front of the man who saw the snake was a long, white, writhing streak, reaching nearly to the middle of the street from the sidewalk, and hissing like escaping steam. For an instant It disappeared as If the earth had swallowed it up, then flashed out again, swaying from side to side against the black asphalt, and shooting up little white spines here and there. Again It disappeared, and again It came, while the terror-strlcke drunkard stood before it "with the sweat starting from his fore head, and imploring the bystanders to take him away. When, with a snap, the carbons in the arc light again adjusted themselves, and the street was once more Illuminated, the crowd, who had not been any too easy in their minds about the apparition, discov ered its nature, and breathed easier. Down somewhere in the depths of the celler below a pump was engaged In clear ing the basement of water, through a pipe that led to the curb. It was a pow erful pump, with a pulsating motion, and J every time the plunger swept from one. round column of water shot from tho mouth of the pipe, white with the air imprisoned in it, and striking the convex surface of tho street dodged from side to side as It found a channel through the mud and dirt in its way. Here and there when It would strike a stick or stone, a shaft of spray shot Into the air for a second, and in the darkness surrounding It the spectacle was calculated to unnerve even a sober man who saw it for the first time. The unfortunate and thoroughly peni tent imbiber had never taken his ryes from the pavement through it all, but after the discovery one of the crowd, who may possibly have had a fellow feel ing for him, hauled him forcibly away from the curh 3amraed him up against the building, and, after some effort, suc ceeded in convincing him that the snake was only a Jet of water. Waterlsltr said the toper, with a sigh of relief that could be heard half a block away. "Water? Well, I mlghtof knownlt. Water always awfulstuff. C'mon. Le's have a drink." And while the Salvationist, a few rods away, who had preached on. wondering what had become of his audience, still thundered curses against the Demon Rum. the happily-delivered tippler reeled off in quest of a bev erage to wash away the memory of the horrible water.

Brought Across the Plains by a Thrifty Housewife. TURNER, Or., Dec 2. (To the Editor.) Reading In The Weekly Oregonian of October 2 an article on "Recent Acces sions to Historical Collection," mention Is made of a "rolling pin made by Fleming Byars, father of W. H. Byars of Sa lem, In Indiana In 1S38, and brought to Oregon in 1S53. We can "see" the His torical Society's rolling pin relic and go them one better. Mrs. M. has now in everyday use a rolling pin made In 1S32 by an old negro slave, then owned by Robert Officer of Clay County Missouri, brother of the late James Officer, who'formerly lived on the Molalla River In Clackamas County, Ore gon. The pin was made for their sister. Miss Nancy Officer, afterward Mrs. C. C. Cooley of Marion County, Oregon, and by them brought across the plains to Oregon In 1S45. This company attempted the so-called Meek's cutoff route. Mrs. M. has also a "flat-iron" (sad iron, smoothing iron), given to Miss Nancy Officer before her marriage to C. C. Cooley, In 1834, by her aunt. Vina Casey, which iron accompanied the roll ing pin to Oregon. She has also a spinning wheel, made by "Uncle" Charles Craft. In Salem, about the year ISO. Mr. Craft was one of the 1S45 Meek's cutoff company. The wheel Is in running order and Mrs. M. understands Its manipulation. For the information of young people of today I will say that this sort of wheel was not used to "spin around a corner" on, and run down pedestrians. It was used to spin yarn, stocking yarn, such as stock ings and socks were knit of in those an cient and unfashionable days. In those days, now about obsolete, there were the sort of women Solomon had In mind when he said. "She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willing with her hands." She has also a Bible, printed In 1S30, a "companion de voyage" with the flat iron and the rolling pin. This Bible shows that the word "trespasses" in the Lord's Prayer, In the sixth chapter of Matthew, was changed to "debts" prior to 1S30. In older Testaments It reads: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." The words "debts" and "debtors" were not used. Many people of today deny this, but investigation will prove It true. And among some other relics we have a hunger's knife and a wooden sugar bowl, made on the Coquille River, by the first white man who Tras ever in Coos County.

But most people, es pecially young people, fall to appreciate and preserve such things, and many in teresting and valuable specimens are thereby lost: and even when relics are preserved, their history, which adds very materially to their interest and value, is often lost. Many are lost in the frequent movings and .migrations of the restless, roving Americans. Families seldom stay long enough in one place to accumulate Interesting relics. In moving from place to place, these things are Inconvenient to carry and care for, and are left, sold j?r given away and pass into unappreciatfve hands. The average American recks little for his family history. His great-great-grandfather may have been an anthro- noid aDe teeterinir on thn tnnmnrt llmS j of his "family tree," or a cob of proto plasmic mua on tne .Devonian shore, for aught he cares.
