Albany, Oiegon, to tho eastern boundary of
the Slate, which craut was, by an act of tho
Oregon Stitn Legislature, conferred upon tho
Wllaiiiittw Valley and Cascade Mountain
Wagon UuiJ Company. The Secretary, lu
his letter ac.ninpauyiug tho papers, says tlut
maps now on tile in the (Icucrat Lind Ollicc,
vcrilieil by surveys made by olllccrs of tho

IIS miles, entitling the company to an aggre
gate of Mil, 1 10 acres of land. One bundled
and (even thousand eight hundred and ninety,
three acres, ho says, liavo been ptUnted to
the company, and other selections, amounting
to I Ill.tiOl) acres, are now pending, for which
tho company demand patents. It appears
from tho Secretary's letter that in .March,
1878, a lftter was addressed to tho depart

thu company to comply with the act of Con
gress by construction of any road whattvrr
over tho greater ortioii of the route, and a
very limited and partial compliance up u thu
remaining distauce. Records aad liles of
tho (ieueral I-and Oilier, however, showed
that duly executed maps purortiiig to
show tho lino of the survey, loca
tion and construction of portions of tho
road had been placed on file to t s effect that
portions of thu road so represented had been
completed, examined ami accepted in accord
ance with the terms of the craut, act of Con
.grass and the State Legislative Assembly,
ino inquiry raited by llan.es' letter induced
the department to investigate the matter, and
subsequently, Aug. Ill, IbM), W. V. Trosser,
special agent, was instructed to make a proper
investigation and report the facts forsiuli
further action as might bo deemed necessary.
Preiser's report sustains the allegations of

Jan. O.Jltportini! the failure of negotiations
respecting the Kuldje treaty has given rio to
tho belief that hostilities may occur on the

of organization It is stated that she in
tends, in tho event of hostilities, to lay
lowu torpedoes at tho entrances to all treaty
ports, and to stop all ship from coming in or

twelve men, five iu one heap and seven in

and the probability is that Ix-foro leaving thu

ages possible of the last chance of saving their
lives. Hut alas, the place where they came
in was tho most forbidding spot along tho

it, the' were dashed to death or perished in
their futile erfurts to get away. The wreck is

The bodies will bo given Christian burial, mid

Tho extraonlinary heavy storm of rain that
has prevailed for tho greater portion of the
past three days has occasioned a rapid nso in
the Willamctto river, which is now over fif
teen feet above low water mark at this point,
and reports from up tho river show thu watir
to bo rising rapidly. The water lacks but a

It is extremely probablo that tho most of
the lower wharves along the city front will be
covered by water to-day, Tho fact of thu
river still rising at thu rapid rate report, and
the further fact of all thu tributaries to thu

what an iiiiinensu volutins of wtteris yet to
