Vancouver Independent,
The Post Episcopal Church, at Coour d'AIcne,
I. T.i is nearly completed.
Major Edward P. I'icnon, 21st Infantry,
has auived in San Francisco pu route to his
station at Yancouve.- banacks.
The best mounted marksmen from each
cavalry company in this department will be
sent to San Francisco Oct. 1st, to compete in
mounted firing.
Orders have been issued to all posts in the
ilcjiartment requiring tho otficers anil soldiers
to go out upon target practice once evtry
weolt, weather and extra duty only prevent
ing. '
Lieutenant Thomas W. Symons, chief engi
neer in the department, arrived down from
the Upper Columbia country on Saturday,
having complete I most of his field work for
the season.
Tn ennsenuence of the departure of C.intain
W. P. Snurgin, Co. I, 21st Infantry, for West
Point, Lieutenant C. A. Williams, 21st In
fantry, is returning to Port Lapwai, to take
command ot tne company.
Captain W. F. Pamcll, 1st Cavalry, has re
turned to Port Uoiso from tho liruneau valley
with a collection of choice Indian vagrants,
who ate being fed by the Government until
disposed of upon some reseivation.
'ieneral Nelson A. Miles, accompanied by
General G. 11. Dandy and Licutcnapt 0.F.
Long, Aide-ile-Camp, is now inspecting the
frincipal posts in Eastern Washington and
dalio Territories. There are rumors of
changes to follow, of concentration and
abandonment of posts, for the more economi
cal administiation of aU'aira in the depart
ment. Gtncral Frank Wheaton, wife and daughter,
went up tho river on Tuesday, en routo to
Fort Oeur d'AIcne, w hero General Whealon
resumes command of his regiment and the
post. While ho has been in temporaay com
mand of the Department he has wilt many
friends by his soldierly and courteous bear
ing, and shown his competency to com
mind. MM' A ILKKIilllt.V l l'AT.
Ill legard to tho so called Rev. Vt. V. Wil
lard, accused of various ini"doiugs, Mr. S. G.
Irwin writes to the Walla Wolla Journal as
follows: Sonio timo last Winter, in Iloise
City, he, then a notorious gambler and drunk
ard, jnofessed to bo converted and made quite
a confesnon, stating he felt it his duty to preach
the gosjul immediately. To meet his wishes
ho vvas gi.iuted license as a local preacher and
allowed to exerciso his gifts. He was also
very desiious to join tho Columbia ItivcrCon
fetenco and become a regular ministi r. With
this jiurpoio seemingly in view ho pleached
in lloiso valley, and in the meantime prujiosed
iu.irri.igo to an cstinnblo lady of lloisoCity
and uiged then mniiago to tako place at an
only il.iy, and they vvcis mariicd last April.
Sho had a little "property which he took
chai go of and soon converted into cash. All
tho tune lie was lcpioscnting hisvaiicd re
souitcs anil yieat wealth. His actions were
such as to givo lisc to suspicions and at the
latu session ot the Columbia Kiver Coiifcienco
held in Colfax, tho opposition bcc.uno so
strong he saw it niedless to apply, and so be
liever bcc.uno a Methodist clcigyman reilly
ami in fact. You have stated his infamous
c.ucei vvlulo hero, and on w Inch career too
much condemnation cannot fall, lint lei it
be leincmbtied his was the career of a scoun
drel and fiauil of the deepest dye, assuming
all this rolu to gratify his villainous jmrnoses.
He is not a lascally minister, but a rascal vvuo
took tlio garb of a minister. "
