Heavy Train.
This morning a train consisting of
twenty-two box cars .was taken out tlio
Western Oregon road to load with grain.
Three locomotives puffed and scratched
to gut them up Fourth Htreet grade, tlio
heavy frost causing the drivers to slip
on the railH.

Somotblua Strango.
Capt. Lowe has tent to Capt. A. D.
Wass, of Astori.i, two of the copper
blunt bolts referred to on Sunday in tho
Astoiian us found in thopiccu of wreck
which drifted up on tho beach below the
lighthouse during tho 'nst storm. One
of these bolts is 12 inches long and the
other 7 inches they tiro pure copper,
and appear to have been made where
labor is cheap, as they arc hand mudu.
This is n curious question. Whero did
thoy como from I What vessel, what
age, etc., aro matters of general interer-
est. Each bolt is marked plainly o. .v.
Y. or a x. v. wo cannot clearly toll

their timbers with bolts of such mater

A cot respondent writing from Col

says: The Kooteniu expressman, re

Tlirso mines uro located on what is

A Noblo Enterprise
Tlie question that has for many years
been troubling tho farming and business
interests of Clackamas county is the
improvement of tho county roads Sev
eral projrositions have been discussed
from tiurn to time but no practical solu
tion seems to "hive be,m nrnvel at until
the present ono was mooted, and which
promises to b carried out successfully,
as tho right men are at tho head of it.
Thero ure two main loads of travel
through tho county; one which leads
- through Damascus, Eigle Creek and
Sandy to the foot of the Cascades; tho
other passes Howard's mill t the
Molnlla. From a leliailo sourco wo
understand that it is the intention of a
number of prominent citizens of the
county to form themselves into n cor
porate body for tho purposo of macad
amizingthete two loads. Tlio success
of the undertaking cannot fail when
such enterprising gentlemen as Mayor
Charman and Hon. J. T. Apperson are
at the fcead of it. To say that this will
prove an imuunso boon to the farmers
of that county would 1 0 but a feeble ex
preision, as it has always been their cry.
'Give us better roads." We shall look
forward with much interest to the de
velopment of the scheme and its suc

Court Martial.
One of the most important court mar-
tials ever convened in tho Department
of tho Columbia is now in session at
Fort Walla Walla, engaged in un
tangling a rumpus among tho officers of
tho 2d Infantry. Tlio cnusos for order

It is liablo to sit for many days. J. W.
Cochrane, a short hand rejiorter, is en
gaged in taking testimony.
On Monday next the gay and festivo
fireman will tako his little ballot in his
little hand, marsh up to tho polls and
vote for Chiefnd Assistant Engineers.
The various candidates and their friends
are putting in their spare timo button
holeing the offish brethorn or trying to
win some doubtful Thomas over to tho

bo all settled by Monday evening. Tho
victor will be elated, tho vanquished
crestfallen.
Borages Captured.
On Thursday last Deputy Sheriff
Johns, of Marion county, went up tho
road, having in charge two refugees
from justico : Jerry Conway, charged
with larceny of a pair of mules from
Wm. Davis near Marion Station. He
was arrested at Prinoville. As Officer
Johns boarded tho boat at The Dalloa
hw recognized Wash. Thomas, who was
indicted about a year ago for an assault
with tho intent to kill, but escaped to
Eastern Oregon. Ho was also tak-jn
into custody, and both aro now in Sa

Tualatin Water Works.
The Intention of the capitalists who Rare
Cndcrtakon to Bring Water
Into the City.
AN IMPORTANT MATTTK.
Thero is nothing more generally used
and adds more of vigor and health to
tho human family than puro fresh water.
In largo cities tho supply is always lim
itcd and high rates arc charged for
water that mountaineers or persons used
to Bpring water would pronounce unfit
for use. Portland is not the town of a
few years ago, but has grown to a me
tropolis, is spreading into a city, and
whilo wo still have power it will bo well
for us to proparo our city with an ample
supply of water and light, or at least do
all in our power to assist enterprising
gcntlomen in supplying it. Somo time
ago Mr. H. C. Owen, of Eugcno City,
having tho organization of n water sup
ply company in view, caused a survey to
bo mado between tho Tualatin river and
tho head of the city, n distunco of twolvo
miles, where an immense, reservoir will
be built, finding that a fall of 110 feet
would bo obtained. With this it could
be carried to any portion of tho city and
buildings bo deluged with nn inexhnust
ablo supply of water merely by nttaching
hoso to tint street comsr hydrants. Mr.
Owens mado himself perfectly familiar
with tho situation, then visited San
Francisco, whero ho made known his
plans to capitalists, and in n very short
timo had bargained for tho Balo of stock
as follows : W. J. Owen, 350,000; C.
N Fclton, 800,000; A. D. Sharon, 650,
000;Geo.W.Grayson,?50,000;II. O.Per
kins, 320,000. Mr. Owen taking 300,
000 worth himself, making a total al
ready assured of 8270,000, and other
promised which will bring the total up
to 8320,000. To-day the company will
bo oiganizcd, otllcers elected and tho
stock issued. As soon as preliminaries
aro completed a lirst class engineer will
bo sent up from San Francisco to super
intend tho construction of the ditch,
make surveys, etc
Tho company euaranteo to furnish
fresh, puro water at oni-third or one
, half less rates thnn now charged and will
1 bring a sullich'iit tpvmtitv to supplv tiro

TWO TtLLAOfS LBH ON SAKTH.
A dispatch has been received over the
O. R. efc S. N. Co.'s lines from the
Dalles, having been sent from Yakima
City by mail, giving tho following no
count of tho execution of tho murderers
of tho Perkins family:
Salooskin and Kiup, two of tho In
dian murderers of tho Perkins family,
wero hanged hero to-day at the hour of
12 M., by tho sboriiT, Mr. Schneby, in
tho presence of a largo audience of peo
ple. Prior to tho execution, and by re
quest of tho Indians, tho attendance of
Uov. J. H. Wilbur, tho agent, and Kov.
Mr. Schafer, was procured in tho morn
ing to advisejwith tho murderers respect
ing their future wcllfaro in tho world to
como, nnd after singing and prayers by
the ministers and a plain brief statomont
of the consequonces of tho violation of
Oml and of man, and an oarncst admo
nition to make their "poaco, calling and
election" sure, tho Indians wero thon
told that they could make any statements
and after pausing for a whilo Kiup
stated as follows: IIo first spoko in
rather indignant terms of our method
of punishment. Christ camo to tho
world to savo sinners; that ho brought a
good book and left it with tho whites;
that tho whites had learned to tlo right,
but that tho good book did not teach
them to stick tip sticks (meaning tho
scnflbld) to hang people on, that it was
wrong to hang people; that God created
this world for tho whites and Indians
aliko nnd that this was a good world.
Ho said that he had his life
from God and that whon ho
was hung ho would lo.ivo his
body hero in tho world; but that ho
did not know whoro his spirit would
go. Ho then sp6ko bricily of tho ns
uault mado by him nnd hi fellow pris
oners recently on Mr York tho jailer.
Ho said that Moostanic, tho ono ac
costed by tho court, had sinco tho court
given the rest of thorn n bad heart;
that Moostanic had during tho fifteen
days ho rcmnined nt the jail been per
suading them to kill York, tho jailer,
and tho other man at tho jail, and told
them that ho would watch through tho
gratos and let them know when Mr.
York was nlono nt tho jail. Ho said
that Moostanic procured n rock and laid
it near tho jail, whero they could pro.
euro it when tho juilcr would tako them
out, tits ho was accustomed to do ; that
ho told them where it was and that
Tweono did get tho rock when ho went
out and concealed it in tho jiil. 'ihey
then put the stono in tho too of a moc
casin and then wrapped the back part
of tho moccasin with strips torn from u
blanket, thus making a good handle.
That was the weapon with which he.
Kiup, struck Mr. York on tho head. He
said, however, that he did not intend to
kill York, but just wnutod to knock
him down so thoy could get pessosjion
of tho guns that weru in tho jailer's
room.
Salooskin was then allowed to speak
and snld that ho would corroborate tho
statement just mado by Kiup respecting
tho conduct of Moostanic, nnd that he
had but littlo clso to say. After being
asked if thero was anything unrovcnlcd
herntoforo respecting tho Perkins murder-,
ho said no. IIo was then
nsked if thero wore any others connected
with them in that nlliiir, and ho unid
thero wero nono others than tho soven
heretofore spoken of.
They were then conducted to tho
scaflold a few rods in tho back ground
south of tho Jail. They wero attended
by tho Shot ill' and deputy and jailer
also four physicians and tho minister
Mr. Wilbur, and Abo Lincoln, the in
terproter. Tito scaffold was guarded by
a comp'iny of voluntcors ci our citizens,
marshaled bv CjpU Hatnbleton by to-
quest of tho Sheriff, and perfect order
and harmony prevailed during thy en
tiro sceno.
The interpreter was tlten told to in
form them that their time was at hand,
and if thoy had anything further to say
thoy could do so, ami Kiup then briefly
said : "You all sno mo here, and you
can hang my body, but you cannot hang
my spirit. I leavo my body here in this
world, but I don't know where my spirit
will go."
Falooskin then spoku and said :
"Whites nnd Indians, I greet you oil as
brothers and bisters. I havo a good
feeling townitls you all. I will leavo my
body in this world, but my spirit will go
to a letter world."
After an eloquent prayer by Father
Wilbur, tho black cap nnd lobes went
ndjustod and the trap fell. After they
wero pronounced by tho attending
physicians to be de.td, their lnxlics wero
surrendered by tho Sheriff to their ft iomls,
who took them uway for interring ac
cording to their own customs.
O? tho dead letters opened during tho

Passengers
Million.
by the
In the month of October last, the ele
vated railroads of this city carried 4,
958,853 passengers nearly 5,000,0001
This is au average of about 160,000 a
day, counting seven days in tho week.
Thnso aro largo figures. Ono hundred
and sixty thousand is more tlmn three
times tho wholo population of Hartford
Put this is by no means th limit, oven
with the present facilities. Last Satur
day, November 1st, ths number carried
was 184,001, nearly -'O.UOU more than
tho previous daily average. But tho
system of roads is not complota. Tlio
Eighth Avenue Line is to bo continued
a couplo of miles farther, tapping an
other district of tho city, while tho Sec
ond Avenuo Line has not boon opened
at all. Then thero is the Chatham
street branch, which is to bo ro-opened,
nnd the coonnections with tho lorries
aro to bo made, all of which will bo so
many feeders to tho trunk lines. As
these side streams aro turned into tho
main current, thoy will swell tho vol
ume of travel beyond all present experi
ence. Already tho two roads aro car
rying at tho rate of sixty millions of
passengers a year. Judging from tho
steady incrcaso from month to month
it is not improbable that when
twclvo months more havu passed, tho
combined roads will bo carrying a total
of a hundred millions of passengers n
year I This is enormous. Wo doubt if
there is anything like it in tho world,
oven in London, Put that does not tell
tho wholo story of what theso roads do
for tho convenionco and comfort of tho
pcoplo of Now York. Not only did
thoy carry nearly fivo millions of pnsscn-
go is tho past month, but thoy carried
them with perfect safety. Ihcro was
not an accident, however slight ; not n
single person suffered tho smallest in
jury. And ns to comtort, mere is no
comparison betwocn this mode ot trail
nlf Hying tlnough tho uir--nnd tho
old way of dragging through mud and
snow nnd rain and sleet, tho long nnd
wenry miles that divide up town from
down town in this city.
Tho great benefit of the elovatcd roadi
is to tho laboring classes. Itich men
can rule in their carrtaees poor men
must tako tho cars or go on foot. What
ditlorcnco uoc.i it innxo to n poor man,
especially in tlio Win r days, if ho can
savo half an hour in tho morning in
going to his work, and half an hour in
tlio evening in returning ono hour u
dayl And whon that timo is multiplied
by fifty thousand work liooplo men
and women whogoup and down ovory
day, it will bo seen what is Baved by thi
rniud locomotiotch, which in thus ecou
mizing time, nddsso much to tho sum
of human lifolly so much to tho poor
man's life is mado longer, as Iwell as
moro comfortable. It is relieved of
what was n daily weariness and hard
ship, amounting in tho Winter to posi
tivo suffering ; in placo of which it now
has quick transit through and fro, with
tho highest doiroo of comfort ou tho
way.
It is said that tho olvatcd roads havo
already added many millions to tho
wealth of Now York, in tho increased
valuo given to real estate in tho upper
part of tho city ; but thoy hnvo done far
moro for the pcoplo in tho timo saved,

Carrying
A Royal Foundling.
Ono night in 1801 a littlo girl, about
one year old, was deposited in tho drawor
of tho foundling hospital at Brest Sho
was drossod with much finery, and a
note, attachod to hor skirts, told that her
namo was Solango, and that sho would
bo reclaimed by her father. Tho claim
was never mado, however, and in duo
timo the child was transferred to tlio
orphan asylum, to bo educated thero.
As sho grow up sho doveloped a most
extraordinary beauty; hut her intellect
appeared to bo very weak, and sho Buf
fered from frequent nervous fits. When
sho was 12 years oldBhcwas sent out
into tho streets to sell flowers, and her
beauty and her modesty attracted many
pcoplo'a good-will; but sho grew weaker
and weaker, and at last she died.
According to French custom sho was
buried in nn open basket, and, as it was
Winter and the soil was frozon, she was
laid into tho grave, only covered with
a thin layer of sand. During tho night
she awoke, and, pushing tho sand away
sho crept out of this grave. Not exactly
uudorstanding what had takon place, sho
was not,80 vory much frightened, but in
crossing tho glacis botween tho'comotory
nud tho fortifications, sho was startled
by tho out-cry, "Qui vive," nnd, as sho
did not answer, tho sentinel fired, and
sho fell to tho ground. Drought into
tho guard-house, her wound was found
to bo vory slight, and sho soon recovered;
but her singular history and also hor
great beauty had mado so deep an im
pression on n young lieutenant of tho
gnrrison (Kramer,) that ho determined
to bo her protector and sent her to ono
of tho most fashionnblo educational
establishments in Paris. During tho
next fow years Kramer was much torscd
about by tho war, but when, in 1818, ho
returned to Paris, liu, found Solango a
full grown woman, not only beautiful,
but nccomplithcd and spirited, with no
more trace of intellectual weakness or
nervous fits. Ho married her, and for
sevtral yenrs tho couplo lived happily in
Paris.
Meanwhile, iavostiaations were mndo
contorniug tho girl left in 1801 in tho
I'ouiidi..ig Hospital nt llrcst, nnd as
those, investigations wero mado by tho
Swedish Ambassador, nnd in a somo-
what ollicial manner, they attracted somo

tho nlliiir, and sent n note to thu Am
bassador, nud, u month later on. the Am-
liiiHsndor cnniu in stato to bring Almo.

Sweden. Captain Kramer nnd his wifo
went immediately to Stockholm ; thoy

Legation in Paris.
Work and Worry.
"Studying too hard," "overworkod,"
aro charged witl? many deaths', hut not
wisely. Trouble kills. It is a very
rare thing for a man to think himsolf to
death, unless connected with somoihing
more or less distressing. Study is a
bliss to tho student ho had rather
study than eat; tho sound of tho diniiot
bell is ulwnys unwclcomo. Thu greatest
students in moral philosophy, and di
