WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON. SEPTEMBER
Dr.r.irLTiNv editor,
A. I.. Orty, of Ibe Athnny nemoeraf, Com'
mil rorgerj anil Aliirnnds llh
over i:t.ooo.
In Septembsr of last year there came to
this State from the Kast a young man of fine
personal appearance, plausablo manners anil
pleading address, who gave his, name as A. L.
Grey, bringing with him a young wife. He
located in Albany and soon ingratiated him
self in the favor of the citizens. HoprofesseJ
to have wealthy connections in the Kast ami
expressed a desire to engage in business in Al
bany, stating that the necessary capital would
bo furnished him by his relatives. On tne
1st of April last, when the lato M. V. liroun
retired from tho management of tho Demo
crat, Gtcy formed a partnership with C. II
Stewart in the management of that paper and
they also carried on a real estate, loan and in
surance business. Timo passed and Grey pro-
fcsscil to be constantly expecting to receive
tlio necessary lunils 1 1 cnaulo him to purchase
a half interest in the Democrat, but no money
came. Un Thursday, August '.loth, tie came
to this city with the avowed purpose of ob
taining a sum of money which he said was
owing to him by someono here, and witu
which he tironocil navini; the first install
ment due Sir. Stewart for his intcrmtiu the
Democrat, and nothing has been heard of him
since. Fears wcro entertained that ho hail beeu
foully dealt with, but on inquiry it was found
that he had forged the name of John Turner
(a prosperous farmer living about ten miles
from town, who acted aa agent for the
first National JJank of this city, and through
whom Stewart& Grey received money to loin)
to a check for$l,700, and obtained the money
from Mr. Connor, banker in Albany. He had
also drawn SI, 080 deposited in the bank in
the name of the firm, and which was to have
been loaned to a customer ns soon as tho nec
essary arrancementi could bo effected. The
lltraht says! Several ot our storekeepers are
also said tu be heavy losers to a greater or
leser degree, ho having ubtair.cd extensive
ciedit wherever ho could do so, until
Rome of them had already shut down on him.
The blow is a heavy one to Mr. Stewart, who
is loser to the amount ol tl,.)0U cash, which
will luivo to bo matin good; but we hope he
will be able tn pull" through. The absconder
leaves a vvifo and babe in this city, en
tirely provided for, wu believe. Mrs. Grey
will liavi tho heart-felt sympathy of the com
munity in this trouble which has so unexpect
edly come upon her. It is reported hero that
ho was married to his wifo in Minnesota iindu
thu name of North, and that ho told her he
must change his iiauic as he was "wanted" in
Mexico, and accordingly on arriving here as
sumed the namo of Grey. He is evidently a
most consummate scoundrel and we hope soon
to hear of his arrist.

Four hundred tons of wheat are now carriid
daily from Walla Walla, says the Journal, to
The Dalles. This is the present capacity of
the rolling stock of tho O. R. &. N. Co. Jtut
a month, ago the ollici-r in the freight depart
ment laughed at thu suggestion that there
mi"ht be a blockadu hero this Fall. As in
another week thero will bo delivered at the!
depot nt least a bushel and a half to our
bushel now, thero is a pretty fair prospect Of
aonu thing of an accumulation a b'ockade
that might last a month. It is estimated hy
hiisii.ess men in our city, with whom we have
talked, that seventy-five to pite.iiniIc,it 1'QUv
sand tons of wheat will reach The Dalles frdfn
the farming country, tributary to that point,
tliis (.eason. We have taken the lower esti
mate as a ba.su and made some figures which
will, perhaps, be found interesting to our
readers.
Seventy-five thoinand tons of wheat aro
eiiial to 2,KOO,000 bushels. We use the long
ton measure, or 2,210 lbs. This wheat at .Vi
cents per bushel will distribute 1,10,000
among the fanners of our country.
The last milliner ol 1niyirm Hm'AY gives
tho average yield of wheat in tlio lied Kiver
valley at 2!t bushels. In Manito'ia, 28 bus!i
els; Illinois, 17; Iowa, 10; Wisconsin less
than 10; Kansas, 10; Texas, 8. If this
country averages 21! bushels to the acre
whtcli wu consiiicr ratiiir too low an estimate
-70,000 toes would indicate that thero had
been 121,7:1'.' acres in wheat this season. The
railroad company will receive as freight on
this wheat about $072, 000 -delivered ill Poit
lind. To carry oil" this crop, a train :il miles
would bu reiiuired. This estimate does not
include the space that would bo occupied by
locomotives and fuel cars mcesiary to such a
train. It wdl taku 1,202,:I08 ba-s to this

increase in price is partly nwuiL'tothu in

from a reduction ot tl cents a bushel on freight

Jack Powers was brought before Justice
l'etruiti at 10 A. M. yesterday for a preliminary
exa nination on a charge of having killed Hen
Cornelius on the Fourth of July. Tho first
witness examined was Kev. Johnson McCor
mack, of Astoria, who testified that on the
evening of July -Ith he whs sitting in front of
the r.sinonil hotel in tins city, when his atten
tion was attracted by hearing a large man on
the opposite side of tho street saying "God
d- n you, have you said you'd shoot me?" or
wouls to-that cti'ect. at the same time strikim
a smaller man and forcing him back, which
was repeated about three or four times, when
the smaller man fired a pistol three times, ap
parently from a low position, und the large
mail fell, and as he was falling he tired a pistol
whereupon the small man tell as if he were
dead and lay a short time when ho got up and
rushed toward the large man who had been
carried to the sidewalk, and he thought
struck him. Did not recognize Powers; do
not know cither of the men; did not euo the
parties come together, but thev were nearly
opposite him and near thu other side of the
street.
Kdward Post was in his place of business at
14(1 Front street on the evening of the Fourth
of July; heard a noise on the street; went to
the door; saw a large man step olf the side
walk nearly opposite, and after taking about
three steps turned and reached toward a
smaller man saying "God d n you, you'll
shoot me, will you?" This was repeated

From tlm MuVaukaa Evening Wisconsin
A strange and curiously interesting
character passed through this city Satur
day evening in tho person of Warren
Chase, who is on his way to the National
Spiritual Convention, now being held nt
Chaututtqua Lake, New York. In eai ly
years Mr. Chase was ono of the most
widely known men not only in this vicin
ity, but in the Northwost. He settled
iu Southport now Kenosha forty-four
years ago. Jlo also resided in Milwau
kee in tho longngo, when? ho was known
as a muu of tho most weird ana gro
tesque genius. In 1811 he became one
tho founders of tho Wisconsin Phalanx,
a congregation of men and woman who
had all things in common except children,
and who settled at what is now Itit.on,
Wis., to carry out the idea of commun
ity of interests as then advocated by
Fourrier unci Horace Greeley. Tho
large, old, balconied-house, erected by
the society in the centre ot a wide piazza,
is still standing in Itipon, though much
decayed. This Fourriente organization,
as it was called, was a financial sttci-essi,
and would have been alive today, doubt
less, if peculilar social notions haJ not
crept into its piactical uianagment.
Marren Chase was then tho king of the
Fourrierites, and fell in with thosa pecul
iar notions which dcstioyed the organi
zation. Among tho living members of that
curious society in addition to Mr. Chase,
are Sterling I', Rounds of Chicago, of
who will probably be tho next Govern
icent printer; ex-Senator Hiram S.
Towne, now Postmaster at Itipon, John
Irving, ono of' the ollicerf of the Wiscon
sin State Prison; the wifo of Howard
M. Ivtitchen, editor of the bond I)u Luc
Commonwealth, and a few others not
generally known to tho pubic. Among
the dead members uro numbered Louis
P. Harvey, Ebcnezer Clnldsand several
others who wero distinguished men in
the state and nation.
Mr. Chase was a member of both con
stitutional conventions of Wisconsin ; a
member of tho first state sennto ; candi
date for governor on the Free Soil ticket
of 1850 and a delegate to tho national
convention of 1852. In 1852 ho left
tho stato ; afterward was a delegate to
tho national convention from Wisconsin,
and on tho sixty-seventh anniversary of
his birth, on Jan. 5, 1880, took his seat
for tlireii years as a member of the sen
ate of California, from Santa Barbara.
Mr. Chase was the author of one of
tho strangest books ever iu print. Jt
was called "Tho Lifo-Line of tho l.uno
One'1 the title meaning to him what
was generally nccoptetl as a fact, tint lm
never had a rather or a mother.
All tho old settlers of Milwaukee und
the State, who probably thought tlitit
strangest of all strange geniuses wits,
dead, will reini'tiiber at once what is
hern recalled of Warren Chase, a muu
still engaged, as ho has for forty year,
in public life, publishing a newspaper,
forming now parties and working social
reforms.
Itio Damaoks. Wo understand, says tho
Maker City Itereille, that our towns-nan, Dan
Smith, has been sued by the government for
310,000. It is charged that he has cut timber
on government lands, and that Uncle Sanm 1
is damaged to the amount of $10,000, and Mr.
Smith has been asked to "lork over'' that
amount; but he had not done so at last ad
vices. He has a lashion ol holding on to his
spondulix, and if our dear old uncle nets any
thing out of him by way of damages, we hope
ho will let us know.
Tub Naiikow Gaooe Lkaskd. The lease
of ilm linot of tho Oregonian Railway Com
pany (limited) to Mr. Villanl was signed by
the Karl of Airlie in New York on Wednes
day. The reason why tho transaction was
not completed before is thai the document as
at first drawn up was not perfeoly satisfac
tory to Mr. Villanl, and it was referred to
tho board of directors in Scotland, by whom it
was so modified as to mako it satisfactory to
all concerned, and tho transfer is uovv com
pleted. CiivsiiF. or PnooiiAMME. Tae steamship
