J. N. Com p ton, who was charged with
larceny from a dwelling, had his hear
ing before Justice Bayard yesterday
afternoon and was bound over in tbe
snm of $100. Bonds being furnished he
was released from custody. It seems
that Compton entered tbe borne of i. C.
Campbell, of Wapinitia, 011 tbe 24th day
of May and Btole various household
goods, among which was a stove, which
it was proven by the testimony that he
bad taken.
This morning the river here' stood at
40.8, a rise of two feet, and has con
tinued to rise during the day. Tbe re
port says it will stand at 44 Friday; and
that while tbe river will continue high
for several weeks, the maximum height
will probably occur this week. Cooler
weather will prevail during tbe next two
days. This morning the rivers stood as
follows: Lewieton 20, rise of 1 foot;
Wenatchee 37, rise of 1.5; Northport
28.3, rise of .9; Umatilla 24.5, rise of 1.2.
Don't mention the wind here, if it
has kept you busy keeping - your
bead on your shoulders today. It does
not compare with the experience of the
people in Sherman county yesterday.
At Wasco it fairly blew the front off tbe
O. T. Company's store and made things
lively for a time, while at Biggs the
sand was torn up at a terrific rate.
Down the river they had a young
cyclone, and trees were twisted and torn
out at the roots in a fruit orchard there.
Tbere is one man in town who can
stop the town clock ; and that is W. E.
Garretson. We wouldn't have thought
so, bat he so informed us this morning,
and for three days following the resi
dents of the city most keep their watches
in good order, as they will not have the
town clock to depend on. Like many
individuals, the time piece must have
te year.y bath, and Mr. Garretson will
see that it comes forth with clean hands
and face and in good condition to keep
tinu- for as for some time to come.
Oar contemporary does not seem to
have learned that there is only one re
quisite to a good fisherman which a
newspaper man possesses the art of en
larging upon details, or fish tails either.
However, our friends, Donthit and Gor
man, have at lea6t acquitted themselves
nobly in that regard since their trip to
Hermann creek Sunday. Reporters may
catch tbe wary item, but it takes more
than nerve to catch a fish ; he can't
catch a fiah with tbe Ecissora and paste
pot ; neither can he entice the speckled
beauties with a puff or two or by settin'
'em np. The trouble with the Demo
cratic editor was that he needed protec
tion, and while intently looking for the
silvery tront, he stepped on a free trade
log and "washed his form," being swal
lowed up in the Republican whirlpool
named after a Republican congressman,
thereby spoiling his chance of getting
even a nibble As to his partner in dis
tress, well, he was reporting for The
Ciiboxicxe just about that time.
Kesult of Election.
Election yesterday failed to create as
much enthusiasm as did the circus or
even the dog show, and we understand
that but 114 votes were cast thirty
eight in two wards, and thirty-seven in
the other. There being no rival candi
dates in the field was probably the
cause of the few votes cast, each voter
being assured that bis men would get in
without his support.
And so the election resulted as fol
lows:
Mayor, U. L. Kuck.
City treasurer, C. J. Crandall.
Water commissioner at large, J. F.
Moore.
First ward Chas. Micbelbach council
man for lonz term. H. Clough for short
term. August Buchler water commis
sioner. Second ward W. Johnston councilman
for short term. Jas. Kelly for long
term.- S. Bolton water commissioner.
Third ward Dr. Shackelford council
man ; Ed Phirman water commissioner.

TREASURE SHIP FROM ALASKA.
Oresronlans Itetter Kemaln At Home Un
less They nave Business Uther
Than Mining.
Leslie Butler arrived home last night,
having come down from that lamous
treasure laud on tbe City of Seattle,
which reached Seattle last Friday even
ing. On board the steamer, which was
the first treasure ship of 1899, were 150
miners, and the vessel's deck was literal
ly lined with hardy miners. As to tbe
gold wbich the steamer carried the re
ports .varied. E. T. Pope, the parser,
estimated the amount at $400,000, and
uiUkh of the dust was entrusted to bis
care. He bad between $200,000 and
$250,000 in bis apartment. It was rep
resented in sixty-two sacks and bags.
Many of the state rooms contained gold
in large amounts, and it is said a man
stood guard at tbe door of some' of the
apartments day and nigbt. One sack
contained 100 pounds and numerous
other dost luggages of from twenty to
fifty pounds each. One passenger dis
played a draft for $80,000 and another
one for $50,000. Among the big winners
were forty-three men who bad a Back or
gold du6t package of some description
on deposit with the parser.
Reports given by the passengers re
garding the prospects this year are con
flicting; bat' when we consider tbe
thousands who have thronged into these
mining districts, and the few who have
realized one-half of what they expected,
does it not seem that men are fool hardy
to risk everything to pursue such a
phantom?
Mr. Butler says that there are a die-
heartened lot of people in the Atiin dis
trict. That while tbere is much gold
tbere, the. stories have been mag
nified greatly, and not one out of a hun
dred will get oat of it what ,hey pat in.
Tbe same is Baid to be true of tbe Klon
dike district, according to reports
brought out.
In the Atiin tbere are sections where
the ground never thaws, and is extreme
ly hard to prospect. On Birch Creek,
thirteen miles from Atiin, where Mr.
Butler was located, from the- 13th of
April till the 7th of June there was not
a night wuen it aid not ireeze, ana two
weeks ago eight inches of snow fell.
Tbe story regarding the famous $20,-
000 claim of Capt. Sperry was, like
many others, a hoax, and men who are
proepecting near tbere sunk a hole
seventeen feet deep and took out $2.85,
wbich it cost about $300 to prospect. .
Is it not better to remain in Oregon,
where there are good mines and to spare,
than to chase forever the bag of gold at
tbe end of tbe rainbow?
On Carload Lots.
A circular has been issued by the O.
R. & N. announcing changes in freight
rates effective July 1 which are in favor
of the jabbers. AH special commodity
rates in effect between local points ou
the company's lines and subject to the
minimum of 24,000 pounds per car.
The circular announces that the West
ern Classification No. 29 to be published
effective Julv 1, 1899, will coutain a
number of important changes. Parlicn
lai attention is called to rule No 0 which
will read as follows:
"Carload freight will be rated and
charged according to the current rules
governing maximum and minimum
weights of carloads, asanthorized by the
companies adopting this classification,
but in nc case, unless especially pro
vided for in the classification, will a car
load be considered less than 20,000
pounds, on freight rated in carloads,
third class and higher, and 30,000 ponnde
on freight rated in carloads lower than
third class. Provisions for carload rat
ing shown in the classification will apply
only npon shipments received in one
day from one consignor, under one bill
of lading, and delivered nnder one ex
pense bill to' one consignee. Carload
rates are not applicable on freight con
signed to railroad agents."
Funeral of Mrs. Halght.
Tbe funeral services of Mrs. Phoebe
Haight took place this afternoon at 2:30
o'clock from the Methodist church and
were largely-' attended by tbe number
less friends of the deceased.
Tbe Epworth League choir sang three
selections, which were especial favorites
ot Mrs. uaignt s, ana were often sung
by her during the first months of her
illness.
Rev. J. H. Wood, her pastor, gave a
short history of her life, particularly of
her devotion and loyalty to her re
ligious belief. He then took as bis text
these words: "In my Father's house
are many mansions. If it were not so I
would have told you. I go to prepare
a place for you. And if I go and prepare
a place for you I will come again and
receive you unto myself ; that where I
am there ye may be also." Speaking of
the mansions be said there were enough
for each, althongh millions bad gone
before. Christ haj prepared a place
and opened the way for all ;indeed, He
is the way. His glory will be the central
idea of life beyond. While we may sing
of meeting the friends beyond, yet when
we reach the home above, the beckon
ing hands of Christ will be a sufficient
welcome. . God has not left; as among
the shadows, bnt his love has "told us"
of tbe mansions prepared. And these
mansions and the hope beyond was the
comfort of her whom now we mourn.
Althongh having none who were dear
to her by the ties of nature to follow her
to her last resting place, ber remains
were tenderly cared for by loving hands
and her chief mourners were the mem
bers of the Good Intent Society'to whom
she was ae a sister, and who covered ber
grave with the flowers which betokened
their love.' Tbere were also many
beautiful floral tributes from other
friends.
The pall bearers were :' Messrs. R. B.
Hood, J. H. Cross, Wm. Cates, C. F.
Stephens, S. Tharman and J. Osborn.
