Dayton Letter.
Ration, Yamhill, Co. May 29, 1S7S.
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.

Mr. C. F. Clarke arrived homo from
school at S.ilem last Friday evening.

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.

Disastrous Fi ue. Last Saturday morn
ing the residenco of Mr. N. X.Matlock,
near Clackamas station .caught fire from
a defective Hue. and the house and all of

at the breakfast table when the fire was
first discoveiecl, and they had to make
quick time in getting out of the building.
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.

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.

"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.
