the third time. He was elected on the two previous oc

V . The election of Schmitz in one of the largest cities of
the country as a distinctly labor candidate was a not
able occurrence, and his career has been. observed with

of the San ' Francisco papers. The Chronicle, -Call and
Bulletin attack him most vehemently and bitterly, ae-
' cusing' him and his Fidus Achates, Ruef, of, crimes in

and strongly stands by Schmitz. ' The truth 'would
seem to be that while his administration has been vul

; has been painted. ' Much of the malevolence against him
probably springs from the wrathful hunger for spoils of

LEWIS AND CLARK
Near the Columbia river. 1
September 10 Captain Clark went on
through .a country as rugged ss usual,
till on passing a low mountain he cam,
at ths distance of four miles, to the
forks of a large creek. Down this he
kept on a, course iouth SO degrees weet
for two miles, then turning to the right
continued over a dividing ridge, where
were the hesds of several small streams,
and at 11 miles distance descended the
last of the Rocky mountains and reached
ths level country.- A beautiful open
plain, partially supplied with pine, now
presented Itself. He continued for five
miles, when he discovered three Indian
boys, who; on observing ths party, ran
oft and hid themselves tn the grass.
Captain Clark Immediately alighted, and
giving his horee snd gun to ons of the
men went after ths boys. Hs soon re
lieved their apprehensions and sent them
forward to' the village, about a mile off,
with presents jof small-piece of riband.
Soon after the boys had reached home
a man came out to meet (hs party, with
great caution, but he conducted them to
a largo tent in the village, and all the
Inhabitants gathered round to view with
a mixture of fesr and. pleasure these
wonderful strangers.- The conductor now
Informed Captain Clark, by signs, that
the spacious teat - waa the residence of
the great chief, who had set out three
days ago with all ths warriors' to attack
aome of their enemies towsrds the south
wast; that h-woiilr not return before
It or IS days, and In the meantime there
were only a few men left to guard the
women and children. They now eet be
fore them a small, piece of buffafe meat,
some dried salmon, berriea and aeveral
kinds of roots. Among the last is one
which Is round snd much like sn onion
In appearance, and sweet to the tests;
It Is called a-uamash. and Is esten either
In its natural stats or boiled Into a kind
of soup, or made Into a cake which Is
by them called paaheco.. . After the long
abstinence this was- a sumptuous treat;
we returned the klndneea of ths people
by a 'few small presents, snd then, went
6n, In company with, one of the chiefs,
to a second village In the aame plain,
at the distance of two miles. ' Here the
party was treated with great kindness,
and passed the night The hunters were
sent out but though they saw soms
traces of deer, were not able to procure
scything. . - ,- . - .i.
Ws were detained till 10 o'clock before
we ' could collect our scattered horsest
ws then proceeded . for two miles, whenH
to our great joy we - found -the horse
which Csptsln Clark had killed, and a
note apprising ua of his Intention of
going to the plalna towards ths south
west snd collect provisions by the-time
we reached him.. At 1 o'clock we halted
on a amall stream, and made a hearty
meal of horsefleeh. On sn examination
It now, appeared that 6ns of the horses
was- missing, and ths man In whose
charge, he hed been was directed to re
turn arid search for him. ho came oaca
in about two hours without having been
able to find the horse; but ss ths losd
wss too valuable to-be lost two of the
best woodsmen were directed to continue
the search while ws proceeded. Our gen.
eral course waa south U0 degrees weet
through a thick forest of large pine;
which had - fallen in many places and
very much -obstructs the road. After
making about is miles ws encamped on
a ridge, where we could find but little
grass and no water. W " Succeeded,
however. In procuring a little from a dis
tance, and aupped on the remainder of
the horse.
On deecendlng the heights of ths moun
