JANUARY 9, 1891
ITEMS IN BRIEF.
. From Wednesday's Daily .
Mr. A. B. Andrews, of Cascade
is in the city. '
Locks
There was . no west-bound passenger,
train this m'.rmug.
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Wells, of Sherar'i
Bridge, are in the city.
Snow covers the ground in the Blue
- mountains to the depth of four feet.
The holidays are over, and every per
son is verv briskly at work after the va
cation.
The eround is frozen bard to-day, which
is Quite an improvement over the mud of
yesterday.
The equipments for the militia comrA-
mes are expected to arrive this evening
from Portland. .
. Hpn. W. R. Ellis gave us a pleasant
call to-day. He is cn route from Port-
.' land to his home in Heppner.
i. ' The city jail has not a single occupant
and there .has not been a tramp or hobo
' disturbing the quiet of the city for some
. time.
The new uniforms for ihe militia com
pames in this city have been ordered, and
may be expected to arrive any day from
the east
The Telephone, the large and commodi
ous steamer on the route between Astoria
and Portland, struck a snae yesterday at
the mouth of the Willamette and sunk.
A and O companies, O. N. G., have
rented the Wingate brick for an- armory,
and as soon as possible the room will be
properly arranged for that purpose.
Invitations are out lor a grand opening
ban at me MubUe Hotel next Friday
evening. The best music in the city has
been eogaeed, and a very enjoyable time
may be expected.
We have received the New Year's edition
of the Salem Statesman, which was a very
creditable publication, and was a good ad
vertiiement of the growth and prosperity of
tne capital city ot Uregon.
The New Year's edition of the Albany
Herald was a very creditable number.and
any one can easily ascertain by perusing
its columns the rapid strides tbat Albanv
has made iu the iast year.
The mail from Malheur was brought
over tne mountains to .Baker 1'ity on
snowshoes last week after a blockade of
several days, snow on the summit was
ten feet deep' and it was impossible to
communicate with the people of Malheur
. except oy snowauoes.
Twenty inches ot snow on the ground
at one time is an unusual sight in the
Burn and Snake river sections ot Baker
county, says the Huntington Herald.
This winter '91 is a Btroog reminder of
. the winters of '61 and '81. Jn both these
winters Immense quantities of snow fell
' in December and remained until March.
The faith cure has been-completely
vindicated in Oregon Citj: A lady for
the past six months regulated the air in
" her room by a glass transom.' Wben the
room was too close, she opened the tran -som
to admit air, closing it at night to
prevent draughts and exclude noise. It
worked like a charm until Bbe discovered
tbat tbere had never been any lass in
- the transom. -
Albany Herald: Another party of miners,
who have returned from the Santiam mines,
among whom was a brother of the unfortu
nate young man, J. F. Hill, who lost bis
way iu attempting to so from Gatesville to
the mines, stated that all search for the
missing young man had proved futile. It
is now thought certain that he has perished
in the mountains. The snow was four or
five feet deep where his tracks were last
seen, and it has piled np several feet higher
since.
Statesman: The increase on agricultural
land in the state as raised by the state
board of equalization is found to be $3,
206,534. The increase on railroad lands
amounts to 35,121. On wagon road
lands the increase is $801,564. Swamp
lands have been raised $172,604. The
raise on town lots will be $4,066,515. The
above totals added give the increase on
all lands of the state as $8,283,328.
Astorian: It is unjust to blame the
county court for not publishing the finan
cial report, as required by law. Perhaps
it did publish it in St. Louis, Mo., where
the county court gets the rest of its
county printing. The St. Louis proprie
tors probably torgot to send a marked
copy out here. It's nobodj'g business
anyhow, as to the condition ot the coun
ty finances. All you've got to do is to
pay your taxes, and sot be eo blamed in
quisitive. Oregontan: Tbere is a movement on
foot in this city to organize a pioneer
cattlemen's association, to be composed
of all cattlemen who settled west of the
Rocky mountains between the years 1850
and 1870. R. S. Perkins and J. L.
Sperry, pioneeis of 1852 and 1851 respec
tively, are now making the preliminary
. arrangements for the organization of tbe
association. Tbe first meeting will be
held in Asbland in about six weeks.
Oregonian : Tbe fleet steamer Telephone,
belonging to tbe Columbia River and
Puget Sound Navigation Company, struck
on tbe government revetment off Coon
island, at tbe mouth of the Willamette,
at 3:20 yesterday morning' and sank.
There is a big hole in tbe starboard side
of ber bow, and she may prove a total
loss. She earned eighty passengers and
a crew of thirty, all of whom were saved.
Tbe steamer was valued at $80,000 and
carried no insurance. , -
Baker City Democrat: Baker City has
the honor of being tbe first city in the
state that held its municipal election un
der tbe new laWy and whether proper or
not -tbe workings of the new law gave
entire satisfaction, preventing any lutim
idation of voters and allowing all to
vote tbeir sentiments. It would be far
better for all towns to hold their elections
under this law,- and by so doing the
boodlers would find their occupation
gone. People everywhere who favor
honest elections and a fair count will be
found advocating the adoption of the
Australian ballot law.
Astorian: The recent storm is said by
ol timers to have been the worst tbat has
occurred on Shoal water bay in fifteen
years. Great injury was done to the oys
ter beds, though the exact extent of the
damage cannot yet be ascertained. More
than half the oysters at Bay Center were
covered so deeply that they will die and
the loss is at least as great in the Oyster
ville neighborhood. This disaster is not
unalloyed, as the accumulation of shells
was also buried leaving the beds clean
and likely to produce fatter and better
flavored bivalves.- There was much dam
age also to plungers, floats and bateaux
used in the ovster business.
Eugene Slate Journal: Sarah Ann
Palmer, widow of tbe late Joel Palmer,
died at Dayton, Yamhill county, a few
days ago, in ber 77th year. She came to
Oregon with her husband and children
in 1847. The Palmers were among tbe
best known of our pioneers. General
Joel Palmer, who died some jears ago,
was a very conspicuous roan. He was
long superintendent of Indian affairs and
was Republican candidate for governor
of the state id 1870 Twice be crossed
the plains, and a guide book of tbe jour
ney prepared by him was used largely by
immigrants who came after 1847. Mrs.
Palmer is a native of Bucks county, Pa.,
was of Quaker ancestry, professed tbat
faitb all ber life and lived in accord with
it. Though not obtrusive, she bad a
very kind and generous nature, and per
formed innumerable beuefactories for
those who needed them in early days in
Oregon.
From Thursday'! Daily.
Mr. C E. Jones, of the More Observer, is
in town to-day.

Mr. Frank Kincaid, of Antelope, is in tbe
city attending county court. He reports
about four inches of snow iq the vicinity of
bis home, but tbat grass is good and cattle
in yery fair condition.
A dispatch from Astoria says that Robert

since. The boat was found in a slough yes
terday bottom np. Wallace was undoubt
edly drowned.
Dr. A. H. .LeavenB, of Cascade Locks, is
in attendance on the county court, ne
says the force at the Locks has been re
duced to five or six men, and these are
principally employed in taking care of the
government plant.
The roof of the blacksmith and boiler
shops belonging to the Union Pacific
Company was removed yesterday. We
expect to see the buildings torn down
in a few' days, as it is very eviden t the
railroad company is looking elsewhere for a
suitable location for shops.
Lakeview Examiner: There has probably
never been a winter since the settlement of
this country by the whites when owners of
live stock were so well prepared with bay
as they are this. A repetition of the win
ter 1883 W) weuld show a very slight loss ot
stock. - '
Jackson Enfine Co. No. 1 will hold their
annual ball at the Umatilla House on Thurs

all the conflagrations which have happened
iu this city lor more than a quarter ot a
century, has never failed in its duty of us.
iog herculean efforts to rescue property
from destruction by names.
Chicago JHetes: Tbe versatility of the grip
is not the least imposing feature of that
malady. An Indiana man who had it is
now as bald as a pool-ball. His mustache
dropped into a dinner-plate one day when
he was convalescing and then his eyebrows
and his hair fell out. .Now his own looking
glass would not know him. Apparently
the only things the grip is incapable of do
ing tor a man ate to call a doctor and pay
his bills.
Silverton Appeal: A young man at Wood-
bum, named McMahon, Wednesday ordered
barbtr Whitman to dance. Upon Whit
man's refusal to comply McMahon fired sey
eral shots' at his feet and into tbe floor.
McMahon is thought to be insane. Law
rence Minnis, a young student, aged 21,
also of Woodburn, is thought to be insane.
He is the young man who recently tned to
prevent the marriage ef bis lady love at
Roseburg, and it is thought this disappoint
ment preyed upon his mind.
Major Weed, charge d'affaires of the Ore
gon on Wheels car, has sent in his weekly
report to Secretary Masten, of the board of
mmigration, showing tbat he is making
xcellent progress. During the week before

metsbnrg, Iowa Falls, Vinton, Cedtr Rap
ids and Burlington. Up to the 20th of De
cember they have traveled 3592 miles, and
been visited by 65,000 people. Kansas
City, Moberly, Hannibal, Jacksonville,
Springfield and possibly Decatur, are the
proposed places to be visited next. Every
thing is reported running smoothly, and the
press of tbe cities and towns through which
they pass speak in the highest terms of the
car and its noyel cargo.
Tbe commissioners engaged in allotting
lands in severalty to the Indians on the
Umatilla reservation have been able to
prosecute tbeir labors so far without hind
rance on account of weather. Nearly 400
Indians have so far been allotted, and the
average is about eighty acres to the individ-
al. The head ot a tamily gets 10U acres,
single adults eighty acres, and minor child
ren forty acres. Wives receive no allot
ment unless the husband is not a member of
the confederated tribes; then the wife is
considered the head of the family and
allotted accordingly. The Indians generally
are taking kindly to the severalty act,
though a few of the older ones do not like to
give up their primative customs.

Treka Crushed By Snow,
Yreka Journal, Dec. 30th. .
On Christmas night, soon after dark,
another snow storm commenced, which
continued until near noon next day, Sat
urday, and being of the dry, floury like
character, greatly improyed the sleighing,
as the new snow was about ten inches
deep, to fill up the rut3 in the snow from
the former storm of the 4th inst. Satur
day night another storm commenced, ot
the soggy character, which continued un
til 4 a. m. on Sunday, closing with i
shower of rain for a short lime, covering
the country with about eleven inches
more snow. This last snow un top of the
snow from the previous storms, proved a
heavy load on buildings, and resulted in
several being crushed in, especially those
not well tied together by strong anchor
age. The streets were also blocked to
great extent by shade trees toppling over
from the weight of snow, and huge piles
of snow shoveled from various buildings
to make them secure. When buildings
had been falling, the tire bells were rung
at 3 a. m., as many of our citizens were
sound asleep, and did not realize the dan
ger, resulting in a large number com
mencing work immediately to relieve
their roots from the heavy burden, wher
ever considered dangerous.
From about midnight of Saturday until
last Sunday night, snow shovelera were in
great demand at a dollar an hour lor
clearing roofs, and considerable snow
shoyeling has been continued since by
owners and occupants of other buildings,
lor fear ot additional snow or what is
more dangerous, a rain storm, wmcn
would make the snow as heavy as water.
At Humbug an avalanche of snow came
down on tbe buildings of the Spencer
quartz mine, and swept them off in a
complete wreck, the three men asleep at
the time having a very narrow escape
from' death. The cook was buried in the
debris for about seyeu hours, luckily
dropping iu a jag just below on the steep
mountain side, rolled up in his blankets.
He was rescued all right without injury,
except badly frightened, but the men es
caping and those from the tuunel had to
dig through twelve feet of snow and
wreckage of the buildings to reach him
Most of the hands were. at work in the
mine at the time, and others came to
Yreka the day previous with a load of
bullion.
Throughout bhasta Valley there was
not as much snow as in Yreka, but the
wind blew furiously in cyclone style, as
evidenced by taking the top off a box car
near Julien's station, south of Montague.
At Sisson about 2 feet of snow fell,
and in Scott galley the snow tall was
about the same as in Yreka, but a heavy
wind storm prevailed in both localities)
although not so severe as in Shasta Val
ley. Wasco News.

The replevin suit of J. I. West vs. F. E.
Seely, tried in Justice Leslie's court last
week, resulted in favor of the plaintiff.
Seely had West arrested for larceny by
bailee of two gray mares, and took posses
sion of tbe property. Thereupon West
brings replevin for the said mares and some
cows. The result was that West got judg
ment for the mares alleged to have been
stolen and for $140 additional.

Woman's Skeleton Found. .
Astorian, Jan. 6th.
A little over three years ago the eastern
part of the city was considerably stirred np
over the mysterious disappearance of a
youugVmarried woman named Mrs. Karwo
nan, who disappeared one afternoon as com
pletely as if the ground had opened and
swallowed her np. . Many theories were ad
vanced and numberless search parties start
ed out to find the missing woman; the
neighboring waters were dragged to see if
they would yield np her lifeless form, but
all to no purpose.
Yesterday morning a young man was go
ing through tbe thick underbrush about
half a mile due south of tbe Scow Bay foun
dry when he found a hnman skeleton nnder
a tree. Tbere were shoes and some rem
nants of clothing. Medical experts pro
nounced the skeleton to be that of a woman,
and from what could be gathered in the
way of ciicunutantial evidence there is
little doubt but tbat the skeleton is that of
the missing Mrs. Earwonan who wandered
away so mysteriously so long ago.
The remains together with tbe fragments
of clothing were removed to Coroner Sur
prenant's office.
Beheaded by a Big Bomb.
Salem Statesman.
At the Chinese camp connected with
the
gravel pit ou the Southern Pacific near
Can by tbere was perpetrated on last Satur
day night a most appalling outrage which
resulted in the death of one Chinaman and
the painful injury of seven or eight others.
The head of the man that was killed was
biown into almost an unrecognizable mass.
These Chinamen work in the gravel pit and
live in their camp near the railroad track.
On Saturday night while the camp was
hushed in sleep stealthily a bomb was tossed
among the sleeping Chinamen, exploding as
it fell. In tbe explosion one Chinaman,
whose name was not learned, was killed
and seven or eight of his countrymen sus
tained painful injuries.
A number of young men are suspected of
haying thrown the bomb and a couple of
them, one aged 16 and tbe other 20, were
arrested and taken to Oregon City. The
officers have reason to believe fiye or six
boys are implicated in tbe throwing of the
bomb, but no reason for thtirlinlawfnl act
can be discovered.
Astoria's Eligibility.
The following is extracted from a letter
from Sidney Dell, to the Oregonian, which
that paper rejected, relative to the struggle
between Portland and Astoria for a perma
nent seaport:
"Railways carry the , products of tbe
country to Portland," you say, "and the
river from Portland to Astoria is cheaper
than any other route or line that ever will
be made. The riyer is going to be the
channel of tbe heavy transportation of the
country from Portland to Astoria during all
time, and it is really childish to propose to
supersede it. Vessels do not load in lower
Delaware bay, but at Philadelphia; not at
tbe mouth of the Thames, but at London,
not at the Mississippi ietties, but at New
Orleans; not at the gulf of St. Lawrence,
but at Montreal; not at the mouth of the
Elbe, but at Hamburg; not at the month of
the Wcser. but at Bremen. That vessels go
inward as far as they can is an invariable
law."
Strangely enough, you make no mention
of the only three great first-class seaports ef
the world. Liverpool, 10 miles from the
sea, and not Manchester with its 30-foot
canal; New York, 10 miles from the sea,
and not Albany; San Francisco, 10 miles
from the sea, and not Sacramento. All of
which cities are salt water seaports; while
Astoria, 10 miles from the sea and with
a greater depth on her bar than any of
them, is a fresh water harbor a most in
valuable aid to commerce. Not only so,
but its seawall charter provides for a 100-
foot railroad avenue along the six miles of
Columbia riyer water front, adjacent to the
piers and slips an advantage of priceless
value unowned by any other first-class sea
port in the world.
Reason as vou may npon the question of
comparative cost by riyer and rail between
Portland and Astoria, it cannot be denied
that, as a uniyersal rule, the farmer's prod
nets fetch "a better price at a first-class than
at a second or third-class seaport. And,
applying the truth right here, it cannot be
denied that, it Portland were utterly
effaced from the maps, and tbe 40 million
bushels of Columbia wheat (the present es
timate) were shipped by rail to Astoria
(assuming a city of Portland's size) it would
be worth substantially as much as tbe
wheat ot the Sacramento valley iu San Fran
. No man can give a reason to the
contrary. Even Tacoma (a second-class
seaport) now approximates it. Nor can it
be denied that wheat at Portland is, accord
ing to the Oregonian market quotations
since September 5th last, worth on an aver
age 20 cents per cental less than that at San
Francisco. It is true some relatively higher
'quotations" have very recently been made
for this port. But only since I have been
using this tremendous fact upon this great
issue. And even now the singular word
"nominal" is prefixed. So this great truth,
daily held up to public scrutiny, is proof
conclusive that tbe cost of towage, lighter
age, pilotage, demurrage and marine risks
of the 110 miles on the Columbia greatly
exceeds tbe cost of railway transportation
from the wheat fields, past Portland to As
toria. It is a stupendous fact that eviscer
ates all tbe "statistics" of towage, pilotage,
eta., that may be adduced. It knocks out
your theory of the superior value of interior
seaports as it seems to me on common sense
rules. But this is especially true at Port
land to which point the railroad, and not
the riyer, have to bring the wheat from the
grain fields. The cost of rolling it (already
loaded) on down tbe Columbia water levels
to Astoria would be a bagatelle compaied
with the cost of tbe five great points of ex
pense and of hauling in Portland in a
crowded harbor where rail and sail, by
piers and slips, cannot get alongside.
Twenty cents per cental lortl Over fonr
millions annually lost to the Columbian
farmer by the policy of the "Portland
Pool" in forcing on the farmers a third
class seaport!
IB MEMOEIAK
Lines in memory of Mrs. Alice E. Johns,
who departed this life January 1, 1892, by
an old schoolmate: -Sad
are hearts to-night, and lonely
Since dear Allie took ber flight;
Can it be that death has robbed us
Of this jewel fair and bright?
Can we bear the awfnl trouble
That upon our pathway's strewn,.
The missiDg face to dear friends' sight
Cause all to bow and mourn. .
She passed from life so young and happy,
Left the home she loved so well,
From the husband whose depth of sorrow
None can fathom, none can tell.
None can tell how sad and dreary
is that home for him to-night.
With his children there to greet bim
And dear Allie out of sight.
She, tbe loved one of his bosom,
Dearer far to him than gold.
Alas! ber voice is bushed forever,
Allie s form is still and cold.
Gone from husband, children, mother,
Brothers, sisters, all so dear;
None can till the place of Allie,
Saoae can ever prove so near.
Many schoolmates too will miss her
Wben recalling by-gone days,
How her voice would cheer the schoolroom
Like the bright sun's golden rays.
Yet there's no home without its sorrow,
Ho life without its grief;
But our reward will come to-morrow
Beyond life's troubled reef.
Farewell Allie! peaceful rest
In thy i atber s mansion fair,
In that blessed home eternal
We will hope fo meet von there.
It Should Be in Every House.
J. B. Wilson, 371 Clay street, Sharps-
burg, Pa., says he will not be withont Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds. That it cured his wife
who was threatened with pneumonia after
an - attack of la grippe, when various
other remedies and several physicians
had done her no good. Robert Barber, of
Cooksport, Pa., claims Dr. King's New
Discovery has done bim more good than
anything he eyer used for lung trouble.

Walla Walla Union-Journal: Ralph Cot
ton, the mail clerk on the Union Pacifio
is in the city Tuesday. He was id the
wreck near Tekoa, Sunday, .- and narrowly
escaped serious injury, being alone in the
car when it jnmped the track and rolled
down a twenty-foot - embankment The
wreck, which occurred three miles this side
of Tekoa; was caused by tbe spreading of
rails. The tender of the engine was the
first to leave the track, and was followed by
the mail car. The baggage, smoking and
chair cars kept to the track. The Pullman
car also left tbe track but fortunately was
not ditched. No one was seriously hurt,
Mr. Coston only receiving a few bruises.
The mail car canght fire bat was pnt out
before much damage was done. Wben the
car left the track Mr. Coston endeavored to
open the door with the intention of jump
ing, but his efforts were unayailiug which
was the only thing tbat ssyed his life, for
had he jumped he would have been crushed
by the rolling car. - Although he boa been
ou tbe road for years this ia his first exper
ience in wreck and he says it is anything
but pleasant.

Vallbjo, Cal , Jan, 7. The investiga
tion into tbe assault on tbe Baltimore
sailors in Valparaiso began this morning
at Mare island, in the presence of Judge
Advocate General Remy, Uoited States
District Attorney Garter and United
States Commissioner J. S. Manley. Gen
crul Remy conducted tbe investigations.
John W. Talbot, an apprentice on tbe
Baltimore, was the first witness and testi
fied as follows
About 4 o'clock, wben coming out of
tbe saloon, I saw Biggin was being
threatened by Chilian sailors in a men
of war uniform. I ran across and tried
to separate them. A Chilian spit in my
face and I knocked bim down. Instant
ly a crowd of 100 people appeared in the
street, ana we started to run. but soon
jumped on a passing car. The mob fol
lowed and stoned tbe car and we were
instantly surrounded bv tbe mob.
saw Riggin fall and tried to reach him,
out was stabbed in the back and turned
and ran. After going a few blocks I
turned and ran into a doorway and was
again stabbed in tbe back. I went in
however, and got into a corner and de
fended myself with a chair. Tbe mob
followed ire and a Chilian sailor, in a
man-of-war uniform, stabbed me again.
Tbe bartender finally pnt tbem out and
barricaded tbe door. The mob clamored
outside for an entrance. After an hour
policeman arrested me and took me to
the jail. He disguised me by substitut
ing a bat for my sailor's cap with the
word "Baltimore" on it. so tbat tbe mob
would not notice tbat I was an Ameri
can sailor. Tbe officer turned me over
to two other policemen who struck me
several times, although I was making no
resistance. I had no arms of any kind.
I was perrectly sober. After a short time
in jail l was sent to the hospital with
Hamilton, Panter and Davidson. All of
ns were badly hurt. We were ept
tbere four days and then sent to tbe
ship, wbere I was in the hospital forty
five days. None except American sailors
were attacked bv the mob.
Tbe next witness was James M. John
son: At o:d0 I went into a restaurant
and boarding house owned by Peter
Nelson, While sitting there I was told
tbat tbey were killing our men outside
and warned tne not to go out. I went
up stairs and looked cat of the window
aud saw a street car stopped at tbe cor-
ner.
A man was lying face down in the
middle of the street.
Two or three po-
licemen and a mob of citizens were
around him. They were stabbing him in
tbe back as he lay tbere. The police
made no effort to stop them. I left tbe
hotel and went to tbe place. Tbe man
was Boatswain's Mate Riggin. I turned
bim over and be seemed to be dead, but
found bis poise still beating faintly,
gave bim a glass of liquor and a mo
ment after be revived and i aid : "For
God's sake, Johnson, take me out of this
before tbey kill me." I lifted him and
tried to diaw bim to the sidewalk,
when I saw a squad of soldiers approach
ing, followed by a howling mob. Wben
only six feet away the soldiers fired two
shots. One grazed my left cheek and
the other 'outlet struck Riggin in the
neck. His head fell from my shoal der,
as if tbe neck was broken. I had backed
against the wall. Seeing Riggin was
now dead, I laid him down and slipped
off to tbe side past tbe soldiers and got
back into the boarding bouse from
hich I saw the row. The first shot
fired by the soldiers so blinded me tbat
did not see tbe man who fired tbe sec
ond shot at the time he fired, bat I did
see tbe smoke come oat of his rifle, and I
am sure it was a soldier. I heard no
other shots fired. Nelson, who keens
the boarding house, gave me a disguise,
which I reached a place of safety.
where I remained all night. The next
morning several ef . the Baltimore's
sailors went into a restaurant to escape a
new mob. Several Chilian army officers
were there, and tbey escorted tbe sailors
down to tbe nioie and sent them aboard
the Baltimore. The men who fired tbe
shots were soldiers. They wore red
pants aud blue coats and were armed
with rifles, The policemen, on tbe con
trary, wore blue entirely and carried
sword bayonets.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Paul
Mohr is KnliKhteae
a One
Point Beyond a IKrabt.
Paul Mohr knows at least how Captain
Lewis stands on the question of The Dalles
and Celilo portage. On his recent trip the
captain was talking volubly to a fellow
passenger about the matter and the. reasons
that the people of Oregon did not want
Paul Mobr'a plant on the Washington side
of the river. "Of course," be explained, "it
is to Paul Mobr'a interest, from a financial
standpoint, to nnload it, but the people do
not want anything in it. It will neyer do
to have it under tbe influence of Washing
ton (the Sound country) legislation, tor the
last thing they want is the development of
tbe Columbia river." He had talked thus
for about ten minutes when a head was
suddenly turned from the compartment just
adjoining the captain's and the owner of
which had been setting back to back with
him with ouly the thin partition between.
"Do yon ever imbibe?" - qneried tbe un
known. "Well, I might if I was properly
approached, said the captain. "Consider
yourself properly approached," was tbe re
ply. For a moment there was a silence
brokeu only by the monotonous thumpet-a-thump
ot tbe wheels as they struck the ends
of the iron rails. Then the captain said,
"That drink brings me a thousands miles
nearer Kentucky. Who have I the pleas
ure of drinking with?" "I am Panl Mohr."
Yakima Republic: U. H. Indian Agent
Jay Lynch has. received instructions from
the department at Washington to prose
cute ali trespassers on the reservation A
portion of the instructions relate to fish
ery ngbt of Indians, to the effect that all
rights of Indians acquired by them nnder
the treaty of 1855 must be respected and
enforced. Tbe treaty provided that "the
exclusive right of taking fish in all the
streams wbere running through or bor
dering on the reservation is further se -cared
to said confederated tribes and
bands of Indians, as is also the right of
taking fish at all usual and accustomed
places in common with, citizens of this
territory." The instructions to Agent
Lynch are: "If any one should be found
fishing in any of the streams in which,
nnder the treaty, the Indian right to fish
is exclusive, you will inform them of the
treaty rights of the Indians and warn
them that if they do not desist they will
be liable to prosecution nnder the law."
