Tne Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY.. ....JULY 29. 1893 Tfie Siaaa affair in likely to involve Europe in a Very diaaatrous war. .If France presses ber ' claims England must defend her possessions, and the two great naval powers of the world will come u collision. When these become engaged in deadly conflict - other Earopeon nations will not be idle.' Russia -will aid France and will press her forces toward India; bnt Germany will consider it an available opportunity to curb the aggressiveness of her inveterate enemy, and Italy will help her ally Great Britain. The war-cloud is becoming larger, and hat a threatening aspect. For lonu years a general war . has been averted - only by the exercise of the cleverest diplomacy, and while Ger many and France remained at peace it was not considered imminent; bui the best laid plans of statesmen "uanp aft agla," and in the little province ot Siam the initiatory step is very likely to be taken. A war of this magni tude is much to be deplored, but the , Atlantio ocean separates America from the old world, and the result will be beneficial to the United States. It is too mercenary to reap benefits from . our neighbors' misfortune; bnt such seems . to be the prevailing custom among nations as well at individuals. The letter of Mr. D. M. French in Sunday '8 Oregonian is misleading . regarding the facts in reference to the claims of Miss Holcomb against Rev, O. D. Taylor, president of the board of directors of Wasco Independent acad emy. She never stated that" they owed her $100; but. that the president had promised ber $700, of which she received only $600, and for the balance he became personally responsible. This is fully substantiated ly the let ters we pablUh today, and no at tempt to attract public attention in a A i flV. t-(i n f Atvantinn vill Tim unfpofiiafnl Miss Holcomb does not charge iYiaKriarrl a.llk env nprflHv in trf niAf r-" 7 tor, and they are only culpable in so far as they attempt to excuse and jus tify Taylor's actions. It is simply a question of veracity between- the young lady and O. D. Taylor, and this community will not hesitate a oioment whom to believe when the issue is fairly stated. This city has already suffered irretrievably by endorsements of this man in his schemes in "boom ing" North Dalles and the false state ments in relation thereto, and individ ually and Collectively it is time we publish to the world that the citi zens of The Dalles do not sanction any fraud by which innocent people are induced to invest their money in swindling operations. - - The vice-president is about to visit Oregon, and a Democratic exohange perpetrates the following in speaking of tim: "He is an American pro duct in the field of statesmanship simi lar to ' Abraham Lincoln. His public career has been a faithful service in the interest , of the masses. Like Mr. Lincoln he possesses the genius of common sense to an eminent degree, anil bis warm sympathetic nature, coupled with quick perceptive facul ties enables him to keep in touch with the people." Wherein the parallel can be drawn between the martyred Lincoln and Adlai E. Stevenson we cannot understand. In life they were wide apart in thought and actions, and the future historian will not place them side by side in what -he writes con cerning their character. Mr. Lincoln was a patriot and statesman in tb most trying epoch of the nation's ex . istence; but this will have yet to be proved true of him who now occupips the vice president's chair. It is right turn vuo pvoiwuu UIUUIU W IDam.KU by every American citizen; bat it. is advisable tbat no comparisons be made that will in the least be disparaging to the honored dead. THE FACTS. His Heleembland III a Eqnla later- Viewed by a Reporter. The Times-Mountaineer sent a reporter this morning to the residence cf Miss Hol comb and Misa Equia, on their homestead, about two miles west of tbe city, and found the ladies very comfortably situated in their cosy little home. ML-s Equia had recov ered from her excitement, and waa in a very talkative mood. The reporter found the center table soyered with beautiful bou quets of flowers, which had been aent by admirers in this city, and for which tbey felt very thankful. Miss Equia waa highly, pleased with: tbe dress pattern donated by tbe business men of The Dalles, and duly ap predated their kindness. Our reporter de voted bia principal questions to Miss Hol comb; as to tbe state of facts which led to the rencounter yesterday with Rev. O. D. Taylor.and tbe following is the result given in her own language: What were the circumstances which led up to the trouble between yon and Mr. Taylor? " . Last year I waa engaged to teach1 the term at the rate of $600 per year. . At the end of the year the board offered me $100 more for teaching the same length of time. During the summer Mr. lay lor wrote me from Chicago, offering me full time, my pay being proportionate. I accepted this and considered my salary $700. W hen I went to get my first quarter's pay he refused to pay" me more than $150 per quarter, which waa at the rate of $600 a year. I would not accr pt these terms, as they were unjust, and he finally said leave the matter with him and he would see what he could do about it. I did not see him about the matter again until the last of the year, he being absent and Mrs. Taylor F lying me herself at the rate of $600 a year, foolishly signed 'the receipts for $150 per quarter, believing Mr. Taylor would make it all right. I did not say anything to V rs. Taylor about it not liking to make any disturbance with her but 1 aaw Mr. I aylor the second tune arxmt tne matter last fat nrday, July Ifth, asking him what he was going to do about the $100 he still owed me. He said he did not con ider the advance of $100 affected lue at all. ' I reported " the matter to the board for the first time and they said the promise of the $100 did affec me, and that Mr. Taylor still owed me $100. They called him np, and as I had given them the letter where he had nrnmiHpd me nav i mromrttonate. . fee ac knowledged to the-board ha had owed me $700; bu.t tbat he had nade a seoond agree ment with me during the year, whereby I agreed to work for BOO. So tuck agreement va ever made h me. On Friday, July 21st, I called to ask bim once more if he would do anything about the money, and wby be j had told a lie about the second agreement, aud the anair turned out as it did. How long have you ao'l Miss Eqna known each othei? Since lsob: we formed our acquaintance in the hizn school in the eant at that time. Is there inv truth in the statement marie in the Chronicle that M Equia has made any estrangement between you aud your family? JJecidtd.lv no. The relations be tween myself aud family are of the pleaa- autest nature posaible.and all reports to tne contrary are utterly false. Tiie above is a correct statement of all the facts. rSieoedl - Bessie Holcomb The lette a which she rtce;ved from Kev, O. D. Tavlor are now in b r possession, aal rati be seen by any one who desires corrob orative nroof of her statements. In a conversation witb Miss EquU, she stated that when she first struck lay lor, before the crowd gathered, he hit her in the breast and crabbed the whip and sail "D d von. let eo of that whip or I'll kill you." This occurred very quickly, for the people ran to the scene in a moment, oh is perfectly satisfied with th whipping, aud says it is all over now. Miss Holcomb would have chastised Taylor with the um brella; but her friend desired to administer the punishment herself. While, she regrets very much toe public exhibition or her an cer on the streets, she considered it the the only means of redressing the wron? suf fered by her friend. An addition! agiira vation was the manner in which he had duped so many residents of The D tiles, who formerly resided east, and whose injur ries were irremediable iu any court of law The young ladies are graduates of the tame college in the east, aud are highy acuom plished. Tbey enjoy the renpe it of this community, and would have bigb social standing in any city. Miss Bwsie Holcomb is a blonde, of pleasant countenance, and v-ry renoed in manner; while Miss Mary Equia is a bru nette, of slight form, and of a sanguioe, joyous tempera'i ent. Her likes and dis likes are intense, and she won d as quickly Heteod the reputation of a friend as she would her own. Of a j'lvial disposition, he is an entertaining conversationalist, and her language ahows a nice and di-cnmioat-ing use of words. They are both highly connected in their eastern homes, aud the most aereeable relations exist between them and ti eir f miliet. Mia Holeomb purchased the rights of a man who bad lived on tbe farm s-me time, intending to make this city ber home. Her friend, Miss Eauta. beins ot a frail temperament, she in vited her to come out to Oregon and live with her. About a year and a half ago Miss Holcomb came to The Dilles, and her friend followed soon after. The ladies aie not desirous of thus being made subjects of public criticism; bnt, as they have no male relatives west ot the Rocky mountains, are determined to protect themselves in the best manner possible. Tbey are ladies in the fullest sense of the term, and demand the consideration that such should receive from every gei tlemm. The peace of the cnmrrui ity will never be placed in leopardy by them, and all they de ire is to be left alone in their isolated home. They speak in terms ot unqualified praise of the ac tions of tbe citizens ot The Dalles, and will always remember them with gratitude. As in the past. Miss Holcomb and "Miss Equia will remain in the future indissoluble friends, which nothing can separate. - Dooumentar Evidence. The Dalles, July 24, 1893. Editor TlUEa-MouTTAlREicR: My attention has been called to an arti cle in the Sunday Oregonian, of the 231 inst., which places me in a false position, and, in justice to myself, I take this oppor tunity to state the facts as they are in this unfortunate affair. The statement of Mr. French tbat the board owes me nothing is true. The board owes me notniog. I was hired by the board for half time, my pay to be $400. After my acceptance on those terms Mr. Taylor, himself, on his own re- spoDMbility.as president of the board, hired me for full time, my pay to be proportion ate. ' (See letter ) Again, Mr. French's statement is cor rect tbat I signed the receipts. I did this because I could not believe but that Mr. Taylor would give me all that be agreed to give me, and because it was easier to bear injustice than to make anv trouble. Wbysbould Mr. Taylor tell the board, ai Mr. French states in his letter to me, that a seoond contract bad been made whereby I agreed to work for $600? Ir I agreed to work for $600 jo the fiit place. what would be tbe need of a second agree ment? Moreover, I ask Mr. Taylor to produoe the second agreement, or to produce reliable witnesses that any such agreement waa made by me. It is not the money, but tbe fact that a man (?) should defraud a woman. and then try to place the alseoess ot the thing on her shoulders rather 'ban on bis SO. iSBSSIK HOLCOMB. The following is an extract from a letter received from Prof. Iogalls, formerly pnn oipal bt the Wasco Independent academy As to your salary, there is no room for question or doubt as to what it should be so far as I can see. You werapaid at the rate of $600 per year last year, and he board promised vou an increase of $100 if you would rem tin. . Your salary this year should be $700, and I think Mr. Taylor knows it as well as 1 do. 1 think you ought to have it, and no companion be tween yon and Miss S. ought to be so much as bmted at in the matter, Your work is certainly of a higher grade, and tbat usually counts lor eometmng. The following is from Rev. O D. Taylor Chicago. July 2L 1892. Miss Bessie BoUsomb, The Dalles, Or : I have a cnoioe of several principals. The one I like best can not teah Greek Can you teach it? How much have vou studied it? My design is to give moie attention to the soienoes than na. been done heretofore. I may wish yon to teach full time until tbe sohool fills. If to, will you do it, your pay being proportionate? Thia is all to be kept at home, as I do not wish outsiders to know my Diana. Answer please care Rev. G R Burnside, 179 Dearborn street, Buffi o, N. Y. "Very truly yours. O. D. Taylor . From the board of directors the follow log was received: Thb Dalles. Julv 17. 1893 Miss Bessie Holcomb. The Dalles, Ore : Euoiosed beiewitb I return tbe letters, which you gave me. The letter of O. D 1 aylor was submitted to th - directors at their meeting last evening, and read by Mr. Taylor to the board; also the receipt you signed in payment of wages as teacher iu the Academy. Mr. Taylor explained to the satisfaction of the directors and proffered to bring his proof in person that a second contract was made whereby you were to teach full time for $600 per school year. Now it does seem to the board of directors tbat bad you a claim of more salary the de mand should baye been made at each quar terlyTpaymect, coast quently they feel that tbey could not take further action in tb matter. . Trusting you will see the position of tbe board in thia matter la such that thev could not take a positive stand, and would perhaps be ot no profit to you or the school. 1 will also state the board of directors are ot one mind abd satisfied with vour work and would be pleased it your position could be secured to you another school term. . Very truly yours, D. M. French. The Preacher Here. The Portland Welcome of yesterday says: "Rev. O. DJTaylor, a Baptist.'preacher of N rth Dalles, a snide town site near The Dalles, was cowhided yesterday by a Miss Equia, to whom he was indebted in the sum of $100 for her services as teacher in the Wasco Academy, said to be a fake educa tional institution . Tbe lady demanded p.yment and being unable to obtain it, and kn 'Wing how a companion had been cheated ont of a similar mm by the preacher, ad ministered to the fellow a merited chastise ment. "Today Parson Taylor turned no in Port land, accompanied by a smooth "friend" who had a thousand apol'.gies to off-r for the off nding minister. Together thev vis ited tbe newspaper others of the citv, re lating their tale of woe, but tbe Welcome knows of one journal tbat does not pub ib it. It is learned, however, that an evening paper will give its readers the preacher's Version "At Tbe Dalles Miss Eauii is highly com mended for her bravery. She had no monet and no relatives in tbe west to fight her battle, and so she adopted the only course open to her to give the creature his just deserts." Misa Equia was not a teacher in the academy, was not owed anything, and simply took up tbe quarrel in defense of a dear friend.' The academy is not a fake in stitution, and if properly managed might be a prosperous school. Who ' Mr. Taylor "smooth friend" is we are unable to leant. Fr Beat.

Edi'or TiMKa-UuutTAiNEBR: Believing that the people throughout Eastern -Oregon, Washington and Idiho feel a deep interest in tbe opening ot the Columbia river to the cceau, I send you a few items concerning the work going on hero for publication, if you deem it wor thy of space in the columns of your widely circulating journal. The contractors were at great disad vantage at tbe start owing to various causes, chief of which was the extreme and long continued bad weather. But since the weather has heco nc settled work ts going on in excellent shape, and they are preparing as fast as possible for the sheltering ot the stone cutters and their assisting drillers, so that stone cut ting can go on in all kinds of weather. rain or shine, haying already built the trame for a shed three hundred ana sixty odd feet long and tbirty-six feet wide and mounted thereon one of the finest travel ing derricks that bus ever been been set no on the Pacific slope. What is meant by fine" is qtiick-inoving, strong and generally efficient. The getting of rock on the ground is being done on a grand scale compared wilh lue mode practised heretofore. The contractors haye two broad gnage loco motives at work all tbe time, one on tiieir spur to tbe quarries and the oilier on the main U. P. .line running it down to where or very' near the place where it will be worked and placed in the wall. I will trv iu a future artice to give jour readers some idea of I lie quick manner in which the huge rocks are handled by steam derricks. Some of them weighing eight or ten tons are lifted on and off the cars as quickly almost as an ordiuary man would lilt a hundred pounds into a wagon. Z. An Immigrant of 1852. Mr. J. A. Strowbridge, a leading mer chant of Portland, was in the city yester div. He was one of tbe immigrants of 1852, and arrived at The Dalles iu the fall, and bis father, mother and other members of the family proceeded down the river to the Cascades on a raft, made the portage around the rapids, and from that point were taken to Portland on the Multnomah. Mr. (Strowbridge drove the horses aud bnrued cattle over the trail, and they arrived in good condition. Tbree days after they stop pert at their destination the lather died. and about the middle of December snow fell to tbe depth of two feet. As no liav could be procured tbe live stock all perished during the winter, and the Stro bridges like other immigrants of that year were left iu an impoverished condition. He savt during that long wiuter of over sixty days be never tasted butter or meat, aud cut wood for 90 cents a cord. The preceding season crops had yielded good in Oregon, but in California the harvest was a failure, aud the surplus graio iu this territory was purchased by our southern neighbor. When the immixraots arrived iu the fall, after making the lo g and tiresome journey across the plains, there were not provisions enough to support them, and thev were forced to buy tliem from Californiaim at a very high figure Fii.ur sold at $100 a barrel, potatoes $3 a bushel, and other thing in proportion. Thia caused a great (leal of suffering, and the pioneers of 1352 were entitled to considerable credit fur their indomitable energy and perseverance io founding an empire in this portion of the northwest. Fatal Accident. Prineyille Newst About 4 o'clock last Saturday afternoon Edael Hoover, aged 20 years, whs thrown from a horse and killed The accident happened-at tbe Plummer place, about three miles from Prineville. Young Hoover rode a pony to the school bouse where Miss Efne Vanderpool was teaching on lower Mc Kay creek, and carried two of the smaller children home on tbe horse. After letting the little ne8 off, the pony, which is ap parently gentle but inclined ;o run away, started to run, and Hoover remarked that he wonld give the animal all tbe run be wanted. It appears that after running a short distance deceased attempted to check tbe horse by turning him toward a fence in which was a gateway closed by bars. The animal attempted to jump the bars, but fell headlong oyer them, turn ing a complete somersault. Hoover was thrown violently to the ground, striking on bis head, and producing concussion of tbe brain Ine borse alst tell on mm, probably fatally injuring bim internally. He breathed about two hours, but never regained consciousness. The body was buried in the Prireville cemetery next day, Sunday. The bereaved family have tbe sympathy of all in their great afflic tion. Sad Drowning. News waa received to day that Mr Wm. Taffe apn of Mr L H. Taffa of the Celilo fishery and Jim Hogan weie drowned yes terday while returning in a skiff from Grant. The bodies have not been recovered, and the boat is bottom-side np at Biggs. Tuff) and Hogan went to Gran for a sack of wheat, and sailed up the river io a boat Tbey procured the grain and started iown the river. Some time afterwards the boat was seen capsized opposite Biggs, and a telephone message was sent to Grant An answer was received that the parties left about 5 o'clock, .with the boat. Io tbe craft the sack of wheat still remained, al though the boat was half full of water, and the supposition is in a tquali it capsized, throwing tne occnpmta in tbe water. Mr Taffa ouly had one arm. and, therefore could not swim. Hogan was from Axtoria, and haji been in the employ of M r. Taffe at the fishery for some time. The news was brought to Celilo this morning by a freight train, and Mrs. Taffe had not gone to bed. anxiodaly awaiting some information of her boy.
