Astoria, Ang. 7 Another chapter in
tbe sensation cansed by the publication
of the story about Darius Nor r is, who
mysteriously disappeared, was furnished
to-day by a letter received by Attorney
C. J. Curtis from Norris himself. The
truth of the story was confirmed by the
arrival of the ship Sierra Blanea at Dun
kirk, France, on July 30. Four. days
after her arrival, or as sooa as be could
get ashore, Norris wrote tho following
letter, which was received to-day by
Lawyer Curtis:
I am in Dunkiik and sick. As soon as
I .get better I will come back. I will
have to send to my siller for money to
come back on. I didn t sign auy papers.
Carpenter told me you were his partner,
and to sign the papers as my lawyer.
They have wronged me and Scared me
away. I received a telegram to nay
from Seattle. I will come back as soon
as I get money. . I want you to see that
they don t wrong me out of my property.
I gave Carpenter a letter to give my sis
tcr. She was to take the property and
loan me money on it. I have sent a d:s
patch to my partner to go over and see
that they don I jvrong me. I was s:ck
and crippled on that ship, and robbed
out of my money. I am an honest man
and barm no one. I will
employ you as my attorney to get my
property, because I dido t sign it away.
Carpenter said he would get it in my
Dame and let sister take it tor security.
I won't have rav child robbed this wav.
DoD't answer this, as I
might be bck before I get the letter.
31 one v has been forwarded to the un
fortunate man, and when he returns
some interesting developments will be
looked for. The above letter wes iu
response to one written by Curtis to the
captain of the Sierra Blanca. In his
letter to the captain and Norris, Curtis
explained the situation and told Noma
to nay no attention lo other letters tell-'
mg h;m to May, but to come at once.
The other letters sent to Nnrns were ad
dressed with the name be shipped under.
Another "Javk Uie Kipper."
London, Aug. 7. Jiarly this morning
one ot the denizeDS of Whitechapel, an
old woman named Woolie, was seized by
an unknown man, who cut her throat
and stabbed her repeatedly in tbe body.
Sbe cannot live. Tbe police, as usual,
are unable to find the murderer, who has
disappeared. The woman was taken to
the hospital, and aft it a time she recov
ered sufficiently to tell of the attack
made upon her. She U a German, and
unlike the other women murdered and
mutilated in Whitecbapel, shewas not in
the company of tbe man who attacked
her, Out was passing along the ' street
when, without warning, the assassin
spn.cg upon her. One man. has been
taken into custody on suspicion of being
the assassin, but the evidence asrainst
him is very weak -and no importance is
attached to his arrest.

Arrested for, Forsrer y.
San Fbancisco, -Aug. 7 Bayard Sa
ville, who was arrested Wednesday on
complaint of ex Senator James G. Fair,
has been charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses. On 'July IS, be
presented a letter of introduction pur
porting to be from ex Secretary Bayard,
of Wilmington, Del., and on the strength
thereof induced Senator Fair to indorse a
draft for $500 on tbe Security and Trust
and Safe Deposit bank of Wilmington.
It now traospires;tbe letter was a forgery
and that Suville bad no money in tbe
bank. He cashed the draft through the
Nevada bank of this city. He claimes
to have studied law with Secretary Bay -ard,
but was subsequently engaged in
the commiesioa business, having bouses
in New York and London.
Wants Bottom l acis.
Seattle, Aug. 7 The trial ofJ.C.
Baird, the customs inspec or who shot
Deputy Sheriff Poor near Woolley,
brought out another large crowd to day.
Tbe attorney for the de(ense made a four
hours' argument for a dismissal, but
Commissioner Keller denied tbe motion.
Ue says be wants to get to tbe bottom
of the casd and find oat tbe motive of all
tbe men concerned in tbe bloody affair.
Commissioner Kiettr to-nigtit announced
that he bad dispatched a United States
marshal to McNeils island for one of the
nine Chinaman whom Terry had smug
gled into the country and who saw the
shooting". -
Price of Sugar Ualsed.
Philadelphia. Aug. 7 Claus Spreck
els to-day raised the price of granulated
sugar to tbe old Ggare, 4 1-6 cents, after
having tbe market all bis own way for
two days and unloading, as the brokers
think, about 150,000 barrels of his sur
plus stock. -The activity induced by tbe
cut Bhowed a perceptible falling off when
tbe price was raised, but the market was
strong, and at one time it was predicted
that engar might go up td 4 rents
The advauce to tbe old figure bus effectu
ally silenced all rumors of a combination
with the New York trust, and it is now
accepted Ibat tbe cut was made solely on
account of tbe overproduction.
Earthquakes la jLower California.
San Diego Calif., Aui. 7 A Yuma
correspondent says : A report was brought
in by Cocopah Indians tbat an earth
q&dte on tbe 30th ultimo resulted in
changing the course of tbe Colorado
river. It left its old bed and is now
flowing through a crevasse forty feet
wide and 1000 feet long. The report,
however, is not generally believed. An
other result of the recent earthquakes was
the renewed activity of volcanoes in the
Cocopah region. The earthquakes also
caused a great tidal wave at the bead
of the Gulf of California. '
tae Body Recovered. .
Astoria, Aug. 8 After a diligent
search of four days tbe grief of tbe par
ents of Miss Nellie Boise was somewhat
assuaged by a report tbat cams to Stout's
hotel that her body had been found about
3 o'clock this morning. '.Matt Bradley,
a fisherman, was making his way to tbe
beacb in quest of crabs about one mile
sooth of tbe place where the bathing
party met with tbe accident last Wednes
day. There he found lodged upon the
rocks the body of Miss Boise. It was
low tide. Tbe body was taken to tbe
hotel and placed in a pine bcz, from
which place it was put on board tbe
train and arrived here on tbe steamer
Canby in the afternoon, in charge of
Raleigh Stott. It now lies in tbe morgue
To -morrow it will be taken to Portland
on the Potter. Tbe body has not been
materially disfigured by its contact with
tbe rocks or length of time in tbe water,
Tbe search for the body of Will. Steel
still continues, witD little hope of its re
covery. Tbe bereaved family of Hiss
Boise will return to-morrow with her
rt mains.
91rs. Parker's Body Found.
Astoria, Aug. 10 The bodv of Mrs.
Jennie M. Parker, who was drowned at
Clatsop yesterday, was found at 10:30
this morning on tbe rocks that jut out
from shore below tbe cove at the Seaside
house over a mile from where sho sank
from eight yesterday afternoon. Tbe
drowned woman's husband had kept up
a ceaseless patrol of tbe beach as long as
daylight lasted yesterday, and began bis
search again at day'igbt this morning
Ue was rewarded by finding all that was
mortal of a beloved wife cf more than
ordinary worth. When tbe body was
discovered Mr. Parker was accompanied
by Miss i'.attie Owen, an intimate friend
of Mrs. Parker. Leaving the bertaved
husband by tbe side of bis wife, Miss
Owen burned to the Seaside bouse and
secured help. The body was tenderly
lifted from the sharp rocks, which had
bruised and disfigured the face, and
conveyed to Austin's and in the after
noon brought up to this city. Tbe affair
has created an intense feeling in tbis
city, owing to the prominence of tbe
drowned lady and the high esteem in
which she was held. Mabel Parker, tbe
18 year-old daughter, who was on the
beach and witnessed tbe drowning, has
been. seemingly insensible since the sad
affair, and rocks lo and fro with an awlul
expression on her face. It is feared her
reason has been dethroned.
More Gossip About Blaine.
Chicago, August 10. A Washington
special says: A man who talked with
Conger, of Ohio, member of the Na
tional Republican committee, is author
ity for the statement that Blaine, bis
health permitting, will be in tbe bands
of bis friends when the nominating con
vention meets in 1892. He says:
Conger broached the subject to
Blaine, who seemed rather indisposed to
talk about it at all. Conger dwelt at
lengtn on the steadfastness ot Blame s
friends, recalled the numerous instances
of other faithful adherence to him under
any and all circumstances' and said that
bis (Blaine's) friends ought to have some
thing to say. Republicans generally
wished to see him president, and victory
with any other man as the nominee was
uncertain. Blaine showed great feeling
wncn Uonger dilated upon tbe faithful
service of his friends, and said he bad
every disposition to serve tbem and tbe
Republican party too, and would not
now decline tbe nomination in advance.'
Whether he told Conger directly that he
would take the nomination I do not
know, but this much I can say, viz:
tliHt OoLger says Blaine will accept it.
an.) so believe now ' all of Blaine's
friends.".
Mill Another Browning.
Astoria, Aug 10The Alaska steamer
Mexico ran into a fishing boat at No. 8
beacon, between Sand Island and" Fort
Stevens, last evening, sinking the boat
and drowning the occupants, a man
Burned Wilson and bis boat puller, name
unknown. It was quite dark at the time
and the fishing boat was showing no
lights. Se soon as tbe boat was struck
the steamer stopped and lowered a boat
A boat from the Point Adams life saving
station also shot out to the rescue, but;
no trace of the men could be lound. It
is supposed tbat being encumbered with
heavy boots and clothing, they sank at
once. The men were fishing for J. O.
Hantborn & Co., of tbis city, and liye
at Deep River, wnere both have families.
The pilots on tbe night boats state tbat
fewer lights were shown by the fisher
men last evening than any time before
tbis season, and it is probably owiug to
tbis fact tbat these men, as well as tbe
one run down by the T. J. Potter, lost
their lives, Tbe latter was a Greek, who
was fishing for the Bay View cannery.
His boat puller was saved.
Tronl les ef the Factions.
London, Aug. 10 Tbe situation of the
Irish party does net seem to improve
with.Dillion end O'Brien cut of prison.
O'Brien maintain comparative seclusion,
and Dillion, who was willing at first to
be aggressive againtt Parnell, has, it is
s-id, almost concluded not to take a
share in the struggle between tbe two
factions. The reported scandal in tbe
lamily of an Irieb member of parliament
opposed to Parnell will probably not
come before the public. Tbe first wife
is said to have accepted the offered com
promise, and will maintain tbe reticence
on the subject which she has maintained,
for vears.

Washington, Aug. 7. The secretary
of the treasury has been advised of a bold
attempt to be made this month to rob
the treasury by a strong and determined
band organized for tbat purpose. Tbe
plan is to stait fires iu various parts of
the city for tbe purpose of diverting tbe
attention of the police, and then to over
power the treasury watchmen and loot
the money vaults. Tbe information is
given in a letter signed by the "King of
tbe Tramps, , who ia said to be a leader
ot tbe band. v

A PRACTICAL ROUTE SHOWN
Prominent Portlanders Critically Ex
amine the Korton Portage Sur
vey and are Surprised at
Its Feasibility.
That Portland is becoming fully alive
to the urgent necessity of "An Open
River" is strongly evinced not only by
the great interest being displayed by tbe
yaried mercantile interests of tbe me
tropolis, but also the decisive actions on
the part of the Portland chamber of com
merce. The construction of tbe narrow-
gauge portage road at tbe Cascades by
tbe state and tbe establishment of a line
of independent steamers to connect there
with has served to greatly stimulate this
ntetest, and it is extremely probable
tbat tbe good work will not be allowed to
lag until a rail portage is also assured
from The Dalles to Deschutes, which,
when consummated, gives to tbe great
Inland Empire increased transportation
facilities and a competition in rates that
wiil inure to tbe benefit of the produc
ers.
Some time ago tbe directors of the Co-
umbia River Railway and Navigation
Company, a state of Washington orgaol
zttion, with strong Northern Pacific pre
dilections, submitted a proposition to tbe
Portland chamber of commerco to make
their line on tbe north side of the river,
extending from Columbus to or near the
mouth ot the Klickitat liver, a portage
road to be operaied in connection with
the indeoendent service, in return for
which they ask a bonus of $500,000. This
proposition is now under consideration
by the special committee appointed by
President Osborne, of tbe Portland chain
ber of commerce, and through the efforts
of Mr. R. H. Norton, the leading pro
moter of Tbe Dalles, Dufur and Silkstone
railway, T. H. Johnston, of Dufur, and
Geo. A. Liebe, of tbis city, the committee
bad its attention called to tbe oppor
tunities offered by the construction of
tbe port&ge road within the limits of our
state, and while a far better road could
be thus secured, one half of tbe amount
demanded by the Washington organiza
tion was only asked.
Tbat tbe representations made by tbe
gentlemen interested in the road on the
Oregon side bad their effect is seen by the
action of the committee in making a per
sonal investigation of the matter. Mayor
Mason, of Portland, one of the commit
tee, was unable to. accompany the party,
but the others, T. F. Osborne, president
of tbe chamber of commerce, and D. D.
Olipbant, a" prominent metropolitan mer
chant, accompanied by R. E. Habersham,
a well-known railroad engineer, and
Douglass Taylor, ex-survey or general of
tbe state, arrive i iu tbe city Saturday
nigbt. Early tbe next morning the
visitors, accompanied by Mayor Mays,
Messrs. Liebe, Norton and Seufert, of The
Dalles, T. H. Johnston, of Dufur, and V.
C. Brock, of Sherman county, left the
city and passed the entire day in going
directly over the located route of tbe pro
posed road from this city to the Des
chutes river. During the trip the party
was joined by W. H. Biggs and Col. Ful
ton, and at Deschutes bridge a Sherman
county delegation consisting of Clar
Dunlap, C. J. Bright, F. 8. Rankin, W.
M. Barnett, E. M. Leslie, J. Dingle, H.
Krause'. Levi Armsworthy and W. M.
Reynolds was met.
During tt5e entire trip the members of
the Portland committee were keenly ob
servant of what bad been done, making
frequent and pertinent inquiries as to tbe
capabilities of the surrounding country,
tbe extent of territory that would be
benefitted by construction of tbe road
and tbe prospects of development by its
extension. At several points a bait was
made and a critical examination followed
of the proposed route As to tbe opinion
formed by the members of the chamber
of commerce committee nothing definite
can be now surmised. President Os
borne when approached upon the subject
said:
It would be hardly fair for me to express
aa opinion now, thus in a measure, perhaps,
forestalling the report of the committee.
There is no doubt that the route wo bave
examined is perfectly feasible, but tbat is
only one of many things to be considered.
The effect npon the future mast also be
taken into account, and it is not only tbe
relief that ia to be afforded to those of
this immediate yiciuity but also the entire
dependent country to the head of naviga
tion of both rivers. There ia no question
bat what the road on this side can be con
structed at a less cost than npon the other,
and it is also evident tbat the Washington
line will not develop any section of coun
try that ia not now developed by the Co
lumbia river, while on the Oregoo side tbe
introduction ef transportation facilities will
certainly lead to the rapid development of
a large scope of country, now practically
shut out by the extreme cost of-hauling to
the river.
R. E. Habersham, one of tbe engineers
accompanying the party, expressed him
self as greatly surprised as to tbe line- of
grade secured by Mr. Norton, one im
portant feature being the avoidance of
cutting and filling. The road itself can
be not only substantially but cheaply
constructed along the entire route. He
had in former years traversed the country
through which tbe Norton survey passes
and had then been impressed with the
fact tbat a line of railroad could be sue -cessfully
built there, but tbe results of
the present work not only confirmed this
view bnt showed tbat tbe work could be
done far better and at less expense than
he bad imagined.
Douglass Taylor, the present superin
tendent of streets at Portland and an en
gineer of recognized ability, also ex
pressed himself as surp.ised. He had
not expected to see a line run with such
comparative ease, practically free from
expensive cots and fills, with little or no
clearing to be done and tbe material to
build the road right at band. Mr. Tay
lor made a close and critical examina
tion of tbe route at all points and was
well satisfied with what be saw.
The object of tbe visit of the Sherman
county delegation was to show to tbe
committee the importance of the proposed
measure to tbe grain growers of their
section. Tbey want the portage to ex
tend to a deep water point beyond tbe
island at the mouth of Deschutes river.
This accomplished, they will of their own
accord meet the road with another from
tbe interior of tbe county coming down
Spanish hollow.
Considerable time was spent at Des
chutes river examining the country, tbe
proposed landing and terminus, and the
discussion of various phases of the ques
tion until tbe arrival of the west-bound
train, on which tbe committee returned
to Portland accompanied by Mr. Norton.
During tbe ride to tbis city a good op
portunity was given to note tbe condi
tion of the grade of tbe C. R. R. & N,
route, on tbo Washington side, at places
it being buried from view by mountains
of sand, an obstruction that will always
have to be contended with on that side
and prove sn enormous and lasting ex
pense in order to keep the road, if ever
built, in operation.
Tbe Portland chamber of commerce
holds its regular meeting this evening.
but it will be impossible for the commit
tee to make its report at that time.
President Osborne says the committee
will make an extended report on the mat
ter, viewing the question oo all sides,
and the same will probably be submitted
to the chamber at a special meeting so
soon as tbeir woik can be completed.
The Alpine Anniversary,
. Last Saturday evening Swiss residents of
The Dalles to the comber cf abont twenty
met on the corner of Union and Second
streets, and headed by the Third Regiment
band, marched through some of the princi
pal streets of thexity. Each of the Swiss
in the piocesaion wore the national colors
on the left arm, which is very neat aud
beautiful, being a white cross on a red
band. Tbo day being the fiftieth anniver
sary of the birth of our fellow-citizen, Mr.
August Buchler, and he being one ot tbe
leading Swiss lesiJents ia the city, they
stopped in front of the Columbia brewery
and the band serenaded him. After he
came out iu response to the music he was
presented with an elegant set of harness,
Mr. Ad. Keller, of the Oro Fino, making
the presentation speech. Tbe band and
persons in the procession were then invited
in the hnuse, and sat down to the moat
bountiful nf .-ciou ever served in this city.
This was the w-.rU of Mrs. Buchler, and
did houor to her ability ai house-wife and
cook. Toasts were drunk to the 600th an
niversary of the establishment of tbe Swias
republic, to Mr. Buchler, aud to the host
ess, Mrs. Buchler. 1 i e e were responded to
in good style, ami every out present seemed
to thoroui:.. appreciate the importance of
the occasion.
There being not over twenty Swiss in the
city, the exercises were held in the parlors
of JSr. Buchler, the celebration comprising
two events the birth cf the Alpine repub
lic and also the rounding out of a half
century of Mr. Buchler's life.
At half-past 9 o'clock the Qesang Verein,
the German singing society of which Mr.
Buchler is a member came in a body and
serenaded him with tome national songs.
After partaking of a repaat they sang sev
eral tunes, aud gaye and responded to
toasts. The floors were then cleared and
danciug indulged in until an early hour.
As an occasion to be remembered the
completion of the sixth century of the in
dependence of the cantons in the Alps
mountains, is. an eyent that loyers of free
government in every portion of the world
should view with great favor.- It is becom
ing to the American that he shonld view
with pride the success of tbe hardy mount
aineers in the center of Europe for long
centuries in the maintenance of free insti
tutions. Switzerland as a republic existed
two bundled years before America was dis
covered by Columbus, and in Geneva human
thought made great advances before Lather
made his determined stand at Worms or
Wickliffe enunciated his doctrines in
England.
A Bait For Gudgeons.
The Portland Weekly World, of this
week, has an extenaiye write op of The
Dalles, including a number ot iairly good
illustrations;' 'lAmong the latter is what
purports to represent that North Dalles
shoe factorywhic-h is located, in all its
loneliness, on the other aide of tbe riyer
and has no connection whatever with The
Dalles, Oregon." "Another page of the same
paper is devoted to a gorgeous advertise
ment of what is called Grand Dalles, the
new name giyen to North Dalles townsite.
It fairly takes one's breath away to read it
and see what has. been overlooked so long,
but if intending investors take the trouble
to give the place a personal examination be
fore putting up their coin it might be some
what to their advantage.
Where the Owls Hoot.
The shoe factory, which was built at
Sunnyside, a suburb of East Portland, alter
selling a large number of lota for the real
estate company has been turned into a ten
ement bouse, says the Oregon City Enter?
prim, while the one at North Dalle, after
doing duty in the real estate line, has been
turned oyer for owls to hoot in. Oregon
City's factories not being built under a
subsidy and to sell lots, are put up as a
business yenture and are run to their full
est capacity and having advantages to be
enjoyed ia but few factory towns of the
United States, are proving paying invest
ments to the owner.
Buncoed at the Seaside.
Long Beach, Oregon's favorite summer
resort, seems to be overran with tin-horn
gamblers, thimble-riggers and others of the
kind. So far tbey have not plied a very
lucrative trade, gudgeons being scarce, bnt
there is an occasional rise to the tempting
bait thrown out, and one of tbe latest vic
tims is named Granier, said to bail from
Tbe Dalles. He wanted to buy a lot and
the handy confidence man sold him one he
did not own and was buncoed out of $60.
Granier found the real owner of the .prop
erty and hunting up the confidence sharp
made bim return the money aud compelled
him to leave the beacb. . -

Fossil Journal: As we feared two weeks
ago, the hot winds have damaged to some
extent the crops of this county. Fall
wheat is uninjured, but spring wheat that
was late will amount to but little between
here and Pine creek. In some instances,
where the wheat had not commenced to
harden before tbe hot winds came, the
crop is entirely blighted and will not evea
make good hay. No matter what kind of a
season we have, it is satisfactorily proven
that a fall-sown crop is the only sure crop
in this country, and farmers ahould govern
themselves accordingly. The Mayyille
crop, being earlier than that south of this
place has not suffered to any appreciable
extent, though here and there rust, pro
duced by the sudden transition from cold
to hot weather, is beginning to show itself.
