The large elevator of the Tacoma
Warehouse Co., at Walla Walla, was de
stroyed'by fire Sunday- morning.' Eigh
teen hundred sacks of wheat belonging
to Dement Bros., and a . carload of flour
owped by Gilbert & Co.,-' stored' in' the
warehouse, was a total loss. The ele
vator was valued at $10,000, with $4,000
insurance. The fire is of an incendiary
nature." A few . days ago notices' were
. posted about town that if the people of
Walla Walla did not stop employing
Chinese the town would be burned
down.
The Rivers.
to
cades, and especially over the country
drained by . the Clearwater, Snake and
tributary rivers; htence thei .decreased
height. The reports at this office do not
indicate tbat an excess of snow fell dur
ing the past winter in the mountains,
hence it is not supposed tbat any great
or phenomenal rise will result. The great
est damage lies in the tact tbat the
temperature has been low during April
and May, and this has prevented the
usual slow melting of the enow in the
inountaiuB daring these months. Should
the temperature rise and the weather
continue clear and warm for several
weeks, then higher water will naturally
ensue than should the weather continue
cool, or the temperature even be normal.
Many of the smaller streams will rise to
their usual or possibly higher stage be
fora the middle of July, but from pres
ent conditions and appearances there is
little danger of any unusual flood in the
Columbia, Snake or Lower Willamette
rivers. For those who may not be. ac
quainted with conditions, it should be
said tbat the Jane rise in the Willamette
river is not caused by conditions along
or tributary to the river, but is produced
by the melting of the snow in the moun
tains in tbe country drained by the Col
umbia and its tributaries east of. tbe
Cascades; the rise in the Columbia pre
vents the Willamette from flowing into
the Columbia, hence the Willamette
backs up to a height equal to the height
of the surface of the water in tbe Colum
bia, and this backing affects the Willa
mette up as far as the Willamette falls
at Oregon City, some 15 miles south of
Portland.,

The . Regulator was' captured this
morning without rtistance by a large
bevy of Ainaeons, who trooped down to
the landing shortly efore 8 o'clock and
directed the caption to point the prow
of the boatXtowtr-d Stevenson. With
the captain ehhuued, the conquest of
the crew was eaW, and the E-?nlator
was theirs. AtSteVensoo they '".mled
and devoted the day topteasure. They
chose an Eden-like camviog ground in
point of scenic attraction but minus
tbe hitherto 7 inevitable Adato. Just
bow they amdsed themselves we are un
fortunately unable to state, and it will
perhaps never .be known, for women
never tail a secret, 'and reporters were
barred. Whatever the manner of their
entertainment, if it attained their expec
tations, tbe day must have been a happy
one, for before leaving they dropped
many significant bints that they were
going to have fun, and fun was what
they were going for. When the boat
pulled far enough away from the pier so
that it was impossible to jump aboard
they shouted "We won't be home till
morning," and the reflections on the
part of the worser halves left behind
were more or less miserable in conse
quence. But when they do return,
with faces possibly tanned and with the
vivacious spirits of girlhood once again
shining out of their bright eyes, what
ever they have done will be foigiven
and forgotten, and the memory of their
day off will be . among the pleasant
things to reflect upon for many years to
come. j

Past Redemption "
This famous temperance play will be
produced at the New Vogt opera houst
on friday evening. June 12ih. for the
purpose of defraying tbe expenses of the
grand lodge meeting of tbe Independent
Order of. Good Templars of Oregon.
which, takes' place here Wednesday,
Thursday . and -Friday of this week.
''Past Redemption" is without a rival
as a temperance drama, not . excepting
"Tea Nighta in a Bar Room." The ac
tion is natural, the lines beautiful, and
the comedy far above the average. The
cast is strong and' evenly balanced, and
every detail will be carefully observed in
order to make this performance, the beet
ver given ' by a local cast. Arrange
ments have been made for. the grand
lodge to attend in a body, and' from the
outlook a very large audience will be
present. A large number of " tickets
have been sold, so if you want good
seats it would be well to get them early.

There is to lie elected a nayor, city
treasurer, three councilmen and three
water commissioners. Though tbe time
is fast approaching, there has been little
interest manifested in a general way,
and if any extended system of wires has
been laid, it does not appear on the sur
face. For mayor five names have been
mentioned the present incumbent,
Mayor Menefee, and Messrs. M.T. Nolan.
Htjnry Msier, Jud Fish and S. B.
Adams. Reports are conflicting as to
whether some of these gentlemen would
accept the nomination.
The primary will be held Thursday.
According to custom, this has been in
the form of a mass meeting, where the
mayor and treasurer were nominated,
and if any disaffection resulted other
candidates were nominated at independ
ent meetings held later. At the original
mass meeting a motion is usually made
that ward meetings he held tbe night
following to nominate' councilmen and
water commissioners. The mayor has
issued a call for a mass meeting Thurs
day night. - v
