Salem,7 Or., Feb.' 2. Governor; Pen--noyer
said to a reporter ' today , that the
statement in the Washington ' dispatch
of February 1st to the Oreqoniah, that
he, had written' to- Speaker , Crisp and
other ; democrats' in the house to defeat
by all means any project for a boat-railway
scheme, is absolutely without foun
dation. He Eaid his whole offense,' Jf
any, was in urging the passage of an
appropriation for a portage Tail way, and
in thatnatter he had the support of the
legislature of Oregon,, as that, body, at
its last session, had unanimously passed
a concurrent resolution asking for such
appropriation.- As to bis receiving- no
reply from - the chief of engineers be ex
pressed no disappointment. ' That func
tionary in January, 1 889, recommended
a. portage road, and. in December, 1889,
opposed, it, and the, discourteous refusal
of a man possessed . of. such whittling
judgment to reply to his letter, he said,
did not cause him any loss of sleep.
The governor believed that the dispatch
was doubtless instigated by one or both
of onr senators,' and he Was content to
let the people of Oregon' decide which
scheme was .the . .most , beneficial, - the
portage i railro4,- --.costing- 43160
which could be.built in one year, or the
bejfraihga.rLflBa4.iTig .o..fifrfifYfi whifi
if the appropriations were' made for it
by the government,'' as appropriations
have been made for the: Cascade' locks,

years in its construction.. " ; ,

Russian Government Severity.
, St. Petersboeg, Feb. 2. Count Tol
stoi says that the grain now in Russia
-will-not last "until spring, , and that it
will: be necessary to import grain from
America. -Merchants are. -unwilling to
inform thegovernment of their stocks,
as they wish to retain all they can for
higher prices. - This .has caused some
acts of severity on the part, of the gov
ernment authorities. I u Kief, a mer
chant who was shown to have deceive 1
the authorities as to the ameont he had
in stock,' was publicly exposed in front
of bis owq store, tied up by tho thumbs
to the lantern post. His stock was con
fiscated, and he was sentenced in addi
tion to six .months' imprisonment.
Other merchants suspected of conceal
ing grain' for higher prices have been
threatened with. similar penalties.- ""

A Pioneer of 1835 -Vet Living.
Nkw Wehtminstek, B. C, Feb'. '2.-
The statement made in ' Saturday's ' Col
onist, to the effect that not a single per
son who came around the Horn on the
pioneer steamer Beaver' is how , alive,
was not correct, though few- people are
aware of the fact. There is one survivor
of the ship's company who came but
from England to Astoria in the Beaver,
and "lie is Thomas Johnston, a Fraser
river fisherman who, during the fishing
season, wnrfc-o tnr ' W ' H Vi.nori ' xr

Johnston of the Beaver and accompa
nied his : father and mother to British
Columbia aboard that steamer in 1835.
He was a lad of about 15 years of age at
the time, and his memory being still
good, he can spin, and does when op
portunity offers, most interesting' yarns
concerning the hrst trip ol this pioneer
steamer. Mr. Johnston has had a
rather chequered carter, but is still-in
full possession of his faculties and in the
enjoyment ol roDust neaitn- ne nas a
land' claim on Harrison river, which he
took up a few yeavs ago, and spends his
winters there making necessary improve
ments to entitle him to the crown grant.
It having' been decided to send the old
Beaver to the -world's fair at Chicago, it
would be an enterprising muve on the
promoters of the scheme to secure the
services of Mr. Johnston and take him to
Chicago, where, as the last surviving
member of the ship's compahy, he could
explain 5o the thousands of visitors the
history ot the woudertul old craft, ana
tell the story of her first voyage.' His '
presence would also add greatly to the
interest surrounding the old vessel.-'
