TAFFE'S BIG VERDICT.
He Gets
y
814,200 In the
Case.
Boat Railway
S A stretch of sand in "the Celilo country!
over which a survey has been made for
a boat railway, may be more valuable
than a gold mine, if in addition to dam
ages allowed, a right of way is granted
fishermen to transport their catch. In
the United States circuit court Saturday,
in the suit of the United States vs. I. H.
Taffe, to condemn lands at The Dalles
for the boat railway to be built by the
government, a verdict was rendered in
favor of Taffe for $14,200. Taffe has a
cannery and fishing grounds at the
dalles, and hp claims the boat railway
running across his land will cut off a
spur between , the river and .his fish
house, and will also take from him a
valuable gravel pit, containing placer
gold, and worth a great deal to him. .
SeuffJrt Bros, are suing for $150,000.
Tfoeir damage consists, besides being
put off from delivering their fish, in
about $15,000 worth of property already
built upon the right of way, which will
have to be removed. The government
desires an absolute deed to the atrip of
land 200 feet in width for the bpat rail
way, and if Seufert Bros, cannot get
permission or purchase a right to cross
the government track, they will be com
pelled to suspend their fishing business,
for there is no other way to deliver theiffl
hllHU.

at least that it is an event so far in tb
future that it will not affect the present
owners of fishery interests. But if it is,
there is every probability that the gov
ernment will not deliberately wipe out
an industry by refusing to grant it a
right of way, a right by which nothing
is lost on the part of the government.
Still government officials, clothed in a
little brief authority, are sometimes
very obstinate and the coils of red tape
are often interminable, and the damages
asked by Taffe and Seufert Bros, may
under certain' circumstances that may
happen be inadequate to the actual in
juries received.

THE ELKS EXCURSION.
Trip Doth the Klver Ever to Be Re
membered. The Elks had a great time Saturday
night upon the occasion of the first ex
cursion given by the lodge of this city.
The Regulator, which left her dock at
8:30, carried 150 happy exearelonists,
who made the quiet banks of the Colum
bia re-echo their merry laughter. The
cabins were beautifully decorated with
evergreen, from bunches of . which pro
truded two magnificent specimens of
elk heads. From the ceiling hung a
representation of a clock with the hands
pointing to the hour of 11 a time full of
meaning to all good Elks.
Upon the lower deck a canvas had
been stretched which afforded an oppor
tunity for the Elks and their -friends to
enjoy dancing. Delightful music was
rendered by Prof. Birgfeld, Mr. Peterson
and Miss Nejrman.
At L.yle a etop was made for nearly an
hour, after which the steamer drifted
slowly down the river for several miles.
The moon had by this time risen in full
glory and the scene was undescribably
poetic. When weary of dancing, .the
merry makers gathered in small groups
upon the deck and listened to story tell
ing, sang rollicking songs and watched
.the lights and shadows upon the moun
tains, through which the Columbia
works its way to the sea.
Delicious refreshments were served
upon the boat and everything possible
was done by the officers and crew to
sake the event unusually pleasant. Capt.
Waud, Officer Alden and Steward
iRofeno and his assistants were untiring
fin tliAit. affni.fi tst wIahba
he committee of Elks who Lad the
excursion in charge were J. S. Fish, R
Lonsdale and G. w. Phelps, and the
time and attention they devoted were
rewarded by the unequalled success of
the evening. -
Cascade Lodge of Elks is a new insti
tution in The Dalles, but its roster roll
contains the names of our best citizens
and its meeting .nights are largely at
tended and prove most enjoyable events.
The Elks will soon move into the mag
nificent K. of P. hall in the Vogt block,
where they will entertain their friends
on numerous occasions.
CURES BY ELECTRICITY.
Card From Mr. Austin Telllnr How Rla
WMe Was Cared of Total Blindness. .
The Dalles, Or., June 28, 189S Ma.
Editor : Hearing of Dr. Darrin'a
advent in The Dalles, I wish to make
known what he has done in my family.
Eight years ago my wife was totally
blind from what the doctors called
"nervous abhorrence of sight." In that
condition she . visited him and was
cured, so she could see as well as ever in
her life. 1 know of hundreds who have
been as miraculously cured. I am em
ployed on the railroad and stopping at
the Umatilla honse when in The Dalles,
and can be referred to. I most earnestly
recommend the afflicted from whatever
cause, to consult Dr. Darrin. It will not
be out of place to say the doctor per

Dr. Darrin will remain in The Dalles

NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING
The Wife of Edward Leonard . Drifts
. Underneath a Scow.
Mrs. Ed. Leonard had a very narrow
escape from death by (drowning Satur
day, and the lives of her child, and two
other ladies were : also . endangered.
They were all in a small boat, with Mr.
Leonard and attempted to cross in front
of the wood scow "Flyer," owned by
Mr. J. T. Peters, which with sails Bet
was slowly going np stream. The little
boat got too close to the scow and Mr.
Leonard loBt control of it.' It drifted up
against the scow, and the npwerful suc
tion of the current had a tendency to
draw it underneath. By main force Mr.
Leonard held the boat as long as he
could, while the ladies commenced to
clamber out on board the scow. The
small boat was rapidly filling, however,
and when all were out but Mrs..Leonard,
he was compelled to Ioobo his hold by
reason of the terrible pressure. The
boat and its occapant floated directly
underneath the scow, but the boat mir
aculously remained upright, with Mrs.
Leonard lying down along- the bottom.
A small boat from the scow was hur
riedly lowered and chase given to the
drifting boat. It was overhauled about
a half mile below the bcow, about a mile
down the river from The Dalles. When
found Mrs. Leonard was still conscious,
but her lungs were filled with water.
After laboring with her some time she
was fully resuscitated.
