There has been an average of about thirty wagons per day, loaded with wheat for this place during tho past week, and that, with the railroad men that are stopping here, makes Dayton one of the liveliest little towns in the valley. Judging from tho way Mr. Gaston is pushing the work, forward on the way from here to Sheri dan, he will haul the next crop of wheat to market for the farmers from uptht; val ley before the prices go down and leave them with their wheat on their bauds. There are about 110 men employed on the construction of the road at present. There are about seventy-five Chinamen; the balance w hite men. YY'e have about two miles of the heaviest of the grading done, and about four thousand ties cut, besides the timber for bridges ami trestle work. They will commence work on the bridges and trestle work about tho middle of next week. Tho wages for common labor is 1.G0 per day, and board is ?3.f0 per week . or liltv cents per day. Our old friend Wm. Anderson is general superintendent of the construc tion, and he is just the right man in the right place; but lie needs no comments from me, as his work speaks for itself. There was a railroad meeting held hero last night, and they passed resolutions to extend the road on" to Dallas this season, and, judging from the way the work is h' ing prosecuted. I have no doubt but it will le completed that far, if not further, as the farmers up in that section are just getting the thing in shape so they can all see what a great benefit a railroad will be to them. Grader. Clackamas Station. Clackamas, June 10th, 1S7S. There is a case of the measles here. Mr. C. F. Clarke arrived homo from school at S.ilem last Friday evening. Ilalfadozen veterans of the Democratic ranks assembled here Monday night ami purchased a few pounds of powder, and proceeded to fire off an anvil, thereby waking everybody, and all just because Thayer and Whiteaker were elected. On last Saturday fiiornimr, about 7 o'clock, the residence of X. X. Matlock, with a larger part of the contents, and all out buildings, were burned to the ground. The fire caught from a deficient stove pipe in the roof. Tho estimated loss is flj'H N) insurance. Luckily nobody hurt. Or-KRA Troltk.

Two little children were vet in bed and had a narrow escape from a horrible death in the fiames. This is a serious loss to Mr. Matlock, as the building was not insured. Pioneers Reunion.

Foun tain. Double Homicide. Particulars of a double homicide which occurred at Salmon river, over on tho coast, last Saturday, has just been received. A white man, named Terry Dod&cn, it appears, had a quarrel with an Indian about some beef cattlo. Tho two men met on a narrow trail near the coast, ihen the altercation began. Words led to blows, when Dodson and the Indian grappled. The Indian was armed with a knife, which ho used with murderous j'urjiose. He stabbed Dodson several times about the shoul der and neck.' Finding that he was getting tho worst of the fight, Dodson drew his revolver and shot tho Indian, killing him instautlv . The atrray was witnessed by two white men and ten Indians. Several of the Indiaus as sailed Dodson after lie killed his an tagonist. They grappled and strug gled for some moments, when one of the Indians pickad up a shotgun, heav ily charged with buckshot, and dis charged it, the contents taking effect in Dodson's back. Death followed instan taneously. The two white men who were witnesses, attempted to interfere to protect Dodson, before ho was killed, but they were immediately set upon by a number of the Indians, who overpowered them, and held them until the fatal shot was given. Xo violence was offered the two men, the Indians simply holding them fast. After Dod son was killed, the Indians let the two white men go, and, mounting their po- I nies. rode rapidly away. Chief Sam, of I tlie Xestucks, was present during the I affray, but did not offer to interfere to I prevent bloodshed. Soon after tho : double tragedy, the men left the scene. ' One of them mounted a horse and rode j post haste to Dallas to notify the au i thorities there of the affair. On reach ' ing that place, it was ascertained- that ! the crime had not been committed in Polk county, so he rode over to Salem ! to procure a bench warrant from Judge I Boise. It is not improbablo that I serious difficulty may result from this tragical affair. j Olympia is to have a soda factory. 1 A colony of Baptists from Arkansas are on the way to Walla Walla. "Washington Letter. Washixgtox, (D. C.) May 31, '78. The Democrats, outside of Con gressmen, are sadly disgruntled over the proposed adjournment on June 17th, and are predicting terrible calam- j lties to result from the so-called blun der. They say freely that the Repub licans, under the resolution to adjourn, can force tho adoption by Congress of all manner of inimical legislation; in fact, can stamp nil laws passed prior to the close of the session, with radical intents and purposes. So bitter and earnest is tie protest against this pro posed speedy adjournment, that we sur mise a strong effort wt.l tie made to se cure a reconsideration of the resolution and consequent prolongation of the ses sion into July. One Democrat re marked to us that Gen. Grant was cor rect in his ossertiou that llepublican victories were r ore duo to Democratic blunders than all else; that an adjourn ment June 17th was as much an error as an attempt to unseat Mr. Hayes; and that if Republican capital was not largely manufactured out of these grave blunders, he (tho Democrat would write the Republicans down as bigger assess than Dogberry or any other idiot. Something pinches tho Democrats most sorely, for their tribu lations are certainly g.-vicus, if we may judge from their expressed bitter ness of sentiment against tho astute ness of tuc?r --iders in the House. Decoration day was Tfi11 ?.b.!" here, though not so many partie.". in the decorations in the various ceme teries as m past years. All the depart ments were closed by order of the Pres ident. Thousands kit the city in excur sion parties to Richmond, Gettysburg!!, and other places; yet there was a large number at Arlington, which is the chief point of interest, though its ceme tery has but few more graves than at Soldiers' Home. To us, tho most in teresting burial spot is that wheie a huge shaft marks the grave of the 'JO soldiers who fell in 1SG4, whilo defend ing the city against Jubal Early, and who were buried in the midit of their faithful tield. Their silent tent of mar ble and granite is spread on tho spot where they offered up their lives; arid, remembering their ghastly Mounds, as we carried tliem from the fence-corners and riile-pits, where they fell in repelling those who would have sacked our city, and made, perhaps, the Confederacy triumphant, we tuin with more sad pleasure and thankfulness to decorate their monument than those of other fallen heroes. Few realize that the fate of Washington hung upon the slender thread of one single lino of men on tho Seventh Street road. Had it failed us, Washington would have been lost. Congress recently appropriated 81, 500, to I e paid in 8100 monthly install ments, to Mrs. Roberts, the oiiginalor of a one-penny lunch rot-m; and on Tuesday niht our citizens gave this lady philanthropist a social reception, at WiihutVs Iio'lcI. The ticket;; for it were sold at one dollar each, and over live hundred f.f our elite crowded the ladies' parlors, where the reception was held, to pay their respects to her. Mi;. Roberts is a hard workrr, and certainly deserves the greatest praise, for hor labors in establishing her lt.nch room, and in keeping it open under discour aging obstacles without public aid. She appealed to our merchants, grocers and everybody, for contributions of money or food, and so freely has her interests been responded to that she has bt en enabled to give the thousands applying for something to cat, r.t least a cup el coffee and a piece of bread. She is a vigorous writer, as the t ,vo odiums she contributes weekly to the Sunday Cop Hid clearly indicates; and she deals her blow of sarcasm anel criticism with an unsparing hanel upon all persons who, in her opinion, merit ventilation. Mrs. Roberts lost the clerkship she holu in the Agricultural Department be cause of certain strictures she made upon Secretary Sehv.rz's management e)f public affairs; but the did not cease her crticism, for she 2iactices fully upon tho old saw that a woman will have the last word. She in of small, petite form so diminutive in fr.ct that, one, in looking at her, cannot help wondering why so small a body eai exhibit so much vim and energy, both mental and physical. With the 81,500 given by Congress, and the 8500 pro ceeds of her reception, she will, we hope, succeeil in making her lur ch sys tem a permanent institution in our city. Heretofore Congressional appropria tions for charitable purposes, have, as usual with public contributions, serveel rather to enrich the ostensible distri butors than to benefit tho poor; but 8100 monthly to Mrs. Robert's institu tion will serve a better purpose in her hands, wo feel assured, than tho 820, 000 given by Congress in January, 1877, to aid our destitute. So success to our active, energetic, plucky little woman, w hose past puncturing of shams by her piquant pen is nu earnest of her devo tion to charity for charity's sake. Our gifted artist Yinnio Ream, has at last laid aside her spinstership, and, with a grand wedding in the Church of the Ascension, at which were present hundreds of our high officials and wealthy citizens, she assumed the yoke of matrimony. State News. Jobn Grifiin, barkeeper in the ITub sajoon at Portland, committed suicide last Friday by drowning. Mr. Mortimer lias raised a strawberry on his place on Coos river fivo and one half inches in circumference. Mr. Thos. B Merry, a well known newspaper man and able writer, eon templates puWishing a newspaper at the Dalles, in a few weeks. The Albany Democrat says: "The cut-worm got away with great quanti ties of potatoes in this locality last year; but the farmers this year are get ting away with his wormship by plant ing no potatoes. D. P. Thompson and a number of the monied men of Portland propose to b'lild portages at the Cascades and Dalles, with wharfs and warehouses ready to connect with boats above and below, and agree to secure the right of way for portages if the people will take stock in the venture to the amount of $150,000. The citizens of Walla Walla held a meeting on tho loth, and Mr. Thompson was invited to come forward and confer with a com mittee of citizens. Fifteen million hoop poles have been shipped from the country back of Van couver to San Francisco during the past year. BIRTHS.
