WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, JUNE 23, 1882, TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. The Itarth raclBe Laad Craat. Wasiunotox, June 19. Messrs. Town. send, of Illinois, Knott, of Kentucky, Payson, ,i of Illinois, and Culberson, of Texas, a minor' ity ot the House judiciary committee, have completed a supplemental nport and resolu tion recommending that lands granted to the Northern Pacific be declared forfeited. The resolution and their view in support of it will be submitted to the House as soon as practi cable. The report, after giving an extensive history of the doings of the company, reach' iug the conclusion that it has been lavish in expenditures, the committee concludes that applying the auditor's estimates, however, to the entire grant, the result will bo the value of 57,920,000 acre at S2 50, or 5144 800,000. The estimated cost of the road finished is S24,353,3G1, and the unfinished portion $30, 110,000; total cost, $74,463,410, leaving a balance of S70,320,584 donated to this corpor ation in addition to the whole cost of the en tire system of subsidized lands for which the United States is newr to receive a cent in re turn. Further comment would be superflu ous, and the undersigned would simply add that in view of these facta it is due to the House and country, nut only that the sub stance of the land grant should bo fully and fairly disuussed, but that Congress should tak such prompt and decisive action in rela tion thereto as will be just, alike to the com oany and people. They, therefore, ask that the accompanying joint resolution be placed on the calendar of the House and recommend its adoption; that all land heretofore granted to the Northern Pacific railroad company and remaining unearned by constiuction on the 1st of January, 18S2, be and they are hereby declared forfeited. Store Tremurj Flanders. Washington, June 18. The Sunday Gaz tte sajs it is known that papers preliminary to the criminal prosecution of a well known manufacturing firm and prominent treasury official are in couree of preparation. The com plaint will contain several specific allegations of fraud by which the treasury was plundered to a largo extent. It is thought thu case will be initiated early this wtek, probably Tues day. The evidence is asserted to bu conclu sive against the persons who will appear as defendants. This is very likely the beginning of the end of one treasury ring and one of the strongest. We might go into particulars of this contemplated prosecution but the ends of justice are served by our doing otherwise. Rlar Koate rases. The Grand Jury came into Criminal court this forenoon and made three new present rnents in the star route cases. In two of the Presentments Thomas J. Brady and Geo. V. leserole were connected, and in the third James 3. Price, alias J. B 'Price, and Thomas J. Brady were mentioned. Presentments were also returned against Marshal J. Condu and John H. Wallace, for perjury, the latter charges connected with straw bonds. Within half an hour from the time of presentments, indictments based upon them were returned. Indictments were against Jas. B. Price and Thos. J. Brady for conspiracy to defraud the United States in connection withroute31,148, from San Antonio, Texas, to Corpus Cristi, and route 30,183, from Monroe to Shreveport, Louisiana. The two indictments against Geo. V. Mes erole and Thos. J. Brady, made the same charge of conspiracy based upon frauds com mitted on routes No. 38,118, from Monument to River Bend, and No. 38,157 from Gardner to Rosita, Col. Upon return of indictments the party was discharged. The date of con spiracy in the Meserole-Brady indictment is fixed at June 23, 1879, and in the Price-Brady indictments is fixed at July 1, 1879. The na ture of the conspiracy is similar to that in cases now being tried, namely, illegal expend itures and increase of service upon routes, Wreck of the British Steamer Escambia. Sax Francisco, June 19. About 5 this afternoon the British steamer Escambia, load ed with wheat, put to sea, bound for St. Vin cent, Portugal. Information from the signal station at Point Lobos is now received that when about five miles oil the heads the steamer capsized and sank, and so far as is known all hands are lost. The tugs Wizard And Rescue have gone out. In the meantime it is impossible to account for the catastrophe as the weather was fair and wind and sea moderate. The only thing at present assign able is that a quantity ol coal carried on deck rendered the ship tophesvy. The pilot who took the steamer out says that the water bal last tanks had all teen pumped out to render the ship lighter for carriage of cargo, and coal was stowed on the deck as high as the bridge. While going down the harbor the machinery was stopped tor a few moments and the ship falling otf into the trough of the sea, rolled her scuppers under. The pilot expressed the opinion that she was unsafe and believes, that the catastrophe might have been expected in open water. The disaster was seen from the signal station, but it is impossible to say whether any one was saved. The ship's com plement consisted of about 25 men all told. She was loaded by Dreabach & Co. and it is believed her cargo was fully insured. The Escambia was about 2000 tons burden and came from Hong Kong via Victoria with Chi nes passengers. Terrible Destruction of Lire and Properly. Dks Moines, June 18. A tornado swept through central Iowa last night from the northwest to the southeast. Twenty miles north of Des Moines the town ot Grinnell was struck by it, and half the town is in ruins. About 40 people were killed and over 100 wounded. Both of the large buildings of Iowa college were blown flat to the ground. , Des Moines, June 18. Special to the State Reqhter: Surgeons report 41 dead at Grin nell, and say five or six mora will not live through the night. Diegnan of Rock Island, a conductor, is dead. Surgeons report that the wounded exceed 150, and the number of houses destroy ed or ruined is between 140 and 150. Total loss of property is now estimated at $600,000. It is feared the uumber of deaths at Grinnell will yet reach 75. The path of the tornado is now well defined as having been about 25 miles long, extending hve miles northwest ol Urinnell and twenty miles soum east. It is now thought the loss of life out' side of Grinnell will reach 25, and altogether near 100. Iowa Citv, June 19. Specials from Irish ridc,e report loss of life at 10 to 12. The gloria at Maroa. Macon. Iowa, Juiie 19. Five of the best -business houses here, both churches, and one third of the dwellings were demolished by the storm. Several dead bodies have been found.

It was plainly seen here, and seemed 20 miles away. Re ports are just coming in of great destruction in that section, and all buildings on several farms were completely demolished, and a church four miles south of Ogden destroyed. Many persons have been seriously injured, and one man killed. Information is difficult to obtain ou account of heat yxoads. A woman and child are reported missing. The ataaaaa Cllr alarm. Sr. Locis, June 18 The Jlrpulllcan'iKta sas City special says: The severest and most destructive wind and rain storm that has vn ited this city in years occurred yesterday. The velocity of the wind was estimated at 60 miles per hour. The rainfall was heavy and the lightning terrific. This morning the city presented a frightful spectacle. Not a tingle square in town escaped the fury of the storm. The streets in every quarlerwere strewn with signs, awnings, limbs of trees, roo s and debris of all descriptions. Scarcely an exposed building in the city remained whole, chimneys being blown down, roofs taken off, in many cases houses being ruined. It would take columns to enumerate all the damage. Among the more teriout losses are the iron bridge be tween the city and Armourdale, three spans of which are carried away. The bridge cost 910,000. The street railway stables, corner 17th and Madison streets, were damarea $8,000 or. $10,000, and the court house suf fered to about the same extent. Coates'opeia house lost its roof, all the hotels were more or leas damaged, and business houses and dwellings in eerv part of the city suffered greater or less injury. The total loss will probably reach S'JOO.OOO. Information lrom the surrounding country shows that tho storm was pretty general and that great damage has been done to crops and nearly all kinds of property. Aiiuiiionai umaget. Atchison, Ks., Juno 19. The mail and travelers bring more accurate reports of the effects of Friday night's storm, showing that it extended southward and wastviarJ ot Kan sas City, and doing greater aggregate damage than at first supposed. Many small tow ns and hamlets were visited, and all are in mourning over the loss of life, and property. A family of three are reported drowned on a flatboat 13 miles below here.

A circular just issued to the stockholders of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company sets forth the desirability of extending the company's system of con structing branches and the inability of the company to undertake the work. The branch es, therefore, are to built by the Oregon and Trans-continental company, under the direc tion of the railroad company. The stock of the branches so constructed ii to be held in trnst for the Northern Pacific Railroad, so that it shall exercise all the right of owner ship, and they are to be operated by it under traffic contracts, the minimum guarantee be ing $1400 per mile, equal to six per cent, on a .bonded indebtedness of $2000 per mile, and a sinking-fund of one per cent. The Northern Pacific is not to become liable for this guaran tee for two years after the completion and acceptance of the branch roads. The Oregon and Trans-continental is to provide the means for bnilding these roads by placing in trust with the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company the bonds of the several branch roads at the rate ef $20,000 per mile and issuing therefor its own forty year six per cent, gold bonds. These bonds are offered to the Northern Pa cific stockholders of record June 12 pro rata at ninety and interest. The branches to be bunt aggregate about six hundred miles ol road in Minnesota, Dakota and Washington Territory. NEW THIS WEEK. PUBLIC SALE ....OF.... FINE SHEEP.
