BEATEN TO DEATII!
An Enraged Father Cowhides a Totm'- Man
for Being too Familiar with His Dangt .ter.
Last Friday afternoon a young boy
aged about fourteen years, came to John
Woodford's at Silverton.'and said he and
been whipped in a horrible manner by a
man named Lock Milster, who lived near
Silverton, and he was on his way to his
father's place, up the valley. Mr. Wol
ford took of the boy's clotiics, and found
that ho was a mass of bruises and cuts.
The boy's story, if we are correctly in
formed, is substantially as follows :
He had been living with Milster, and
last Friday morning the boy and Mils ter's
girl, aged about thirteen or fourteen years,
were discovered in the bam in "a peculiar
situation." The enraged father got his
" blacksnake," and gave the boy a ound
thrashing. The boy thought it'was time
to leave, and put out for his father's i ilace.
Milster was not satisfied with the pu nish
ment he hail inflicted on the boy, .so he
started after him and caught the otfe nder
about a. mile from tho house. He t. trip
ped off his clothes, tied him to a tret and
proceeded to beat him in an unmet ciful
and inhuman manner with his hi saw
black snake." The boy bog red and
pleaded for mercy, but not until life was
almost gone, did the brute cease U ply
the whip.
lie then untied bis victim
and
lelt him.
The boy left Mr. Wool ford's and sU rted
for his .father's. The same eveninj ; he
was discovered dead in the road a bout
two miles south of Silverton, and was
buried next day by the people who fc und
the body. .
A relative of the lov heard of the $ .flair
Saturday, and had the body taken u p on
Sunday, and a coroner's jury was s um-
moned to hold an inquest over the body.
They rendered a verdict that death was
caused by a blow inflicted just abov the
abdomen.
Milster was at a pic nic near Silve. rton
on Saturday, and learning of the deat h of
the ioj he immediately started for ho me.
On Monday a warrant was issued for his
arrest, but he could not le found. His
wife said that he came home onS-ituri lay,
but soon lett,siroe which time she has . not
heard or oeeu anything of him.
Eagle Creek.
The Land Register man has been tal iing
a trip through Clackamas count3', an 1 he
has the following concerning Eagle Ci eek
precinct:
A good portion of last week was spent
by us in traveling over, ami exploring the
northeastern part of Clackamas Coujnty,
well uj. in the mountains. Theie" we
found numbers of hardy, industrious
German families hewing thernsel ves
nomes out m the wilderness lii" lan l is,
t course, rough and broken, asargem ral
tiling, but there are vet thousands or m -res
that are unoccupied, that are level and
free from stone. Some years a;jo a fire
swept ovr .-ill that portion of the coumtry
lying adjacent to and north of the uurtli
fork of Eagle creek, and lietween the
north and south forks of the same stre am,
killing the greater poj-tion of the tim.ber.
Later othei tires have consumed more or
less of the deadened timlr. At this time
there is but little of the original grovth
left, and the new has not attained size
euouirh to be seriously iu the way of pre
paring the land for cultivation.
The soil appears to be very good, judg
ing Irom tho crops growing iu the sixiall
clearings. We noticed wheat, oats, com
and pato"s iu a number of fields "that
looked thrifty, and of better color t..han
those found iii the valley, in the vicinityof
Philip Foster's, Esq. Again, we fiul no
wliero in the valley uch evidence- of
strong soil as is here sliown by the wild
gro A-th. Fern as thick as ever rem
Krows, and above a man's head on horse
back; tirevveed six to ten reet high, and
other smaller weeds and grapes in pro
portion. As a stock country, size considered, it is
almost if not equal to the celebrated
bunch grass counties, for both Summer
and Winter pasturasre.
The honey bee gathers abundant stores
of sweets here. In fact there is no place
in the State, to our knowledge, naturally
so well Bilapted to their culture.
In coin-fusion., we have to nay to our
readers, that we have leen thus tedious
Kim ply lecause we wanted to be of serv
ice to those in search of homes, and tve
would advise all such to go and see tins
country before joining in the general riudi
for bunch grass. Go to the U. S. lac.d
office at Oregon City or to the railroa d
land oflice at Portland and get furth-er
information and then "look before yC'U
leap."
I'kal. Estate at Auction. The salo of

"Washington Letter.
WASHixaTos, (D. C.) June 14,
7Q
For some time past an effort has been
made to collect funds from deputy
clerks for political purposes, at which
the Democrats have raised the usual
howl of coercion," "violation of law."
etc. Secretary Sclmrz, of course, in
terposes an obstacle to assessments in
his department, and many of his em
ployees refuse to contribute to &y the
fiddler, whose music they are now
dancing to to the tune of S1200 per
year. We have so often expressed our
profound " contempt for Mr. Schurz's
civil service fantasies that we now
abandon him in disgust being unable
to do the subject justice. We have no
sympathy with a platform which re
tains a man in office because he is in,
or bars him from assisting the party
that keeps liim in. We venture to say
that any office-holder in any commu
nity in the whole country, who would
put Mr." Schurz's theory in practice,
would never enjoy his office longer
than the first opportunity the people
had to "bounce" him. That Mr.
Schurz is an honest man, and well in
tentioned no one can doubt. His ad
ministration, in contrast with Mr. De
lano's is most commendable, for he is
not on the make, while Mr. Delano had
bnt one object to " make gobs of
money," and he succeeded nobly. Yet
we wish Schurz was in Utopia. He is
not the only hpnest man in America.
Our fashionable circles are duly ex
cited by the marriage of the daughter
of Hou. Simon Wolf, the lately de
capitated Recorder of Deeds. Mr.
Wolf is a prominent Israelite, and his
daughter, through her great beauty and
accomplishments, became necessarily a
great prize to the marying portion of
her race. A Mr. Gotthold, a wealthy
yontg merchant of New York City,
nroved the lucky man. The marriage
ceremonies were in full keeping with
the positions of the parti, s concerned.
in their extent and magnificence. The
invited guests came from all parts of
the United States, and included hun
dreds of our prominent citizeos. The
marriage rite was impressively per
formed by the venerable rabbi. Tho
customary wine was offered and drank,
and nothing was omitted, in the cere
mony, or in the music, and the floral
decorations of the church calculated to
make the occasion as solemn, and yet
as gladdening as marriage was in the
most ancient days of Jewish history
So at the bride's reception, which was
held in one of our largest halls. All
that nower8, ami evergreens, end re
freshments could give toward a mar
riage feast were there
Another interesting matter now agi
tating the public mind is the proposed
new Library building The reports of
the Librarian submitted to Congress,
show that the portion of the Cap
itol now occupied by the library is j
wholly incapapble of accommodating
the vast number of books already re
ceived and constantly incoming.
Thousands of volumes have been
crowded in long since it was comforta
bly full, until every available spot has
been used, and thousands more have
been stored away in inaccessible places.
Added to this, tlie duties of the Libra
rian, under the copyright law, has no
place to be carried forward, save in the
alcoves. Much discussion prevails as
to the most suitable for the new build
ing. Some advocate the plateau of
Capitol hill with considerable vehe
mence alleging that to be the most ap
propriate place, on account of its close
vicinity to tho Capitol, while it would
at the same time clear away the un
sightly wooden buildings that sur
round the place. Judiciary square
seems, however, to the most' accepta
ble place, and is that which the commit
tee recommends for adoption. The old
jail that nsed to stand in it has been re
moved, and it is now a beautiful park
one of the longest in the city ami is
handsomely ornamented with shrubbery
nd walks, with a fountain playing in
the middle. It certainly is a choice
spot for a fine piece of architecture,
and especially for a library. Should
the style of architecture follow the new
War Department building, it cannot be
but fa most magnificent centre piece for
the square. The appropriation for it
will no doubt pass both Houses before
adjournment, and, if so, the work will
be commenced at once. The present
rooms occupied by the Library will
continue in the same capacity. Mr.
Spofford, the Librarian, states that 70,
000 volumes, mostly reference books,
can remain here, for tho use of Con
gress, and thus make, he says, a Con
gressional library of itself larger than
any other in the world, and will be all
that Congress can make use ot. Such
books as are of general nature will be
transferred to the new building.
Some of our citizens feel very mnch
like throwing up their hats, or being
guilty of some other demonstration:
the bill for government of tlie District
has become a law. The most sanguine
hopes now are entertained for the busi
ness future of Woshikgton. Tlie re
lief from exc2Bsive and unjust taxation,
the assumption by the General Govern
ment of one-half of the expenses of the
city. The new provision for municipal
officers, anil the general improved man
ner of administering mummicked af
fairs, insures greater contentment, in
creased confidence in city property, and
inducements to moreexteuded improve
ments. ; It is easy to see why England and
; certain ot'jer jj'irope.in powers nave
taken so decided a stand in tbe settle
i ment of the Eastern question. It is.es
: timated that out of 1,300,000,000 due

From the Bunch tirass Country.
Wawawa, Whitman Co., W. T., f
June 15th, 1878. J
Editob Enterpbise:
Now, that the election is over, and
the favored ones can now begin to as
sume independence of the dear people,
and the disappointed ones move out to
new pastures, let me tell them how to
get a load of poles or fence rails, should
they settle in these parts. At least
one -way is by trail due east from Wa-
wawa 100 miles. The trail is not a good
one, and great care should be taken or
the sun will get lost, una raise in tne
west and set in the east belore you get
through, aud take you eight days to
.. .. i'-i - a . - n i.
make tue trip, as li uui a cerium vreu-
foot. No matter, we made the trip, if
we did find the mountains full of famil
iar horse tracks.
The Clearwater here is a fine stream
large as the ban tiara, or twice as
large as the Clackamas the shores
lined with cedar, fir, tamerack, pine,
vc. kc. To procure cedar, it is some
times necessary to go up on the moun
tain, cut and fell the trees toward the
river, peal the bark, then let them
slide: all things find their level. Those
largo logs are bound together by placing
a strong tie or binder crosswise fasten
ing it down with strong withes made
of thorue, by boring an inch and a
quarter hole using a hard wood plug
to secure tho ends of the withe. When
you have it thus made 30 x 100 feet
take 30 foot poles, or small logs laying
them crossways securing the ends with
a withe. Now your life and property
denends on your oars, which must bo
at least CO feet in length, with a blade
14 to IS inches broad, and 18 to 20 feet
long one placed on each end of the
raft, and well balanced. Our raft lay
a long time awaiting a river pilotas
we wished to take our horses on board,
and the pilots frowned at that proposi
tion, but wo.ihl take us soon; but
being so much engaged that I grew im
patient. It was now 3 o'clock p. M.,
when we led the horses on board, ex
pecting to run down to Lapiway, and
tie up until morning. a distance of
some 50 miles. When all was loose she
ground heavily on shore, and then
swung out iu the stream, and shot out
like an eagle making to the forks of
Clearwater at the rate of at least 15
miles per hour, with frequent short
turns where the aater swept a point to
pile up on the opposite shore requir
ing constant and mighty exertion to
prevent her striking the bow on shore,
which must be fatal. As she flew on
past the forks, and past Lapiway, with
only occasionally bumping a rock, dark
came on, and yet no landing could be
made, as everywhere the current was
so strong, when just before reachiug
Lewiston we felt her grinding on the
gravel, and soon came to a stop, with
the water roaring around both ends of
the raft as though she might break up.
Tired and worn out, we lay down to
sleep, morning dawned, and we found
ourselves on u small island in the cen
ter of the river. By throwing out a
boom of heavy timber, by 2 o'clock we
had her afloat once more; and by 7
o'clock we safely landed at Wawawa.
In less than 9 hours' run we had made
a distance which had taken 8 days.
