TI1JE OREGON STATESMAN If UI DAY AUGUST 13. 1886. 9 FltOM TUESDAY'S DAILY. Thk Cahcaiiks Tu nnkl. Work on the Cascades tunnel does nut appear to be very pleasant, according to a correspond ent of the Walla Walla Journal. Ho days "there is a stream of water pouring oyer the steep rooky declivity and falling directly at the entrance. The water 'seeps' through the rock and is continu ally dripping, which makes mud very plentiful. When the men coma out from work they aro sputtered with nind and most of them wot to the skin. There is a gas that escapes in the tunnel, which vitiates the atmosphere. After each blast the smoko from the powder is very disagreeable But these difficulties are now undergoing quite a change. Ioirge engines have been placed at the entrance, with a large box leading into the interior, and immediately after a blast the smoke is drawn out through the boxing. A lurge air-compressing machine has arrived, and wilt be used to put fresh air in where the workmen are. The tunnel is lighted by electricity, ami the blasts are fired by it. When asked how long before tho tunnel would be completed, tho foreman said: "It is 9985 feet long, and about 1200 ft. are now eiiipletcd,eoimting both ends. We have been at work since last fall, so you can figure yourself when it will be completed." Inhuman Indian Tukatukkt. An In dian woman was thrown from a horse Wednesday on the 'Umatilla river, a few miles above Pendleton. f!he fell on her head among the rocks, breaking the bones of her breast and injuring her spinal column. Five or six Pendleton folks hapined to be near, a picnic party, who rendered considerable assistance to the injured woman. A number of her tribe, who were present wnen the acci dent .took place, refused to do anything for her, believing she would die, deem ing it labor thrown away to attempt to save nor life. Ho the fishing party be came good Samaritans and made the poor heathen comfortable. Next day a physician paid a visit to the tepee where he was removed, and found her resting easy, likely to recover. When she was first thrown off her horse the squaws ac companying her Htulled her mouth full of rags and tied a handkerchief tightly over her face, in order to produce a 8ieedy death, it is supposed. In this condition she was found by the picnic party above eferred to. RjETl'KNKD khom San Francisco.

Portland Wei- THE INDIAN TRAINING SCHOOL, At Cheinawa, Visited by a Member of the Statesman Staff His Impressions. A representative of this paper visited the United States Training school, at Chcraawa, on Sunday afternoon, and greatly enjoyed an hour spent in ram bling through the new buildings there. The reporter well remembers how, a few years since, nothing but a wildorness could be found where now stands this great philanthropic institution. Then he recalls how Dr. Coffin came there with the first lot of students, during 1885, from Forest Grove, and began to hew out a temporary abiding place for those of that benighted class, that the govern ment had undertaken to enlighten. How, after days of hardship and of labor, he was at last able to point to two or three sheds as the temporary shelter for the students. How Dr. Coffin pushed his work until a new administration of pub lic affairs, at Washington, brought about a chungo here rind Dr. Collin s;vp n his work to Col. John Lee, of Indiana, and his estimable lady. ismce then the new superintendent. and his corps of assistants, have not al lowed this work to lag, but have pushed it ahead, until the students are at last quartered in two large, airy, and comfort able dormitories. One of these is occupied by tho female students, and one by the males. Both buildings are well tinished, as regards both interior and exterior, and both are well furnished. They are kept very neat and clean, and the students appear the same way. The grounds surrounding the buildings have been cleaned, the stumjm removed, and a year hence beau tiful lawns may be seen ttiere. Vhe grounds are dusty, and are not as smooth as they will be, as yet, but a little work, and plenty of irrigation will make the surrounding lawns very beautiful. A large tract surrounding the school lias been partly cleared by the students, at the school, and the most of it will be used for agricultural purposes next year. A garden spot to the westward from the buildings, will furnish vegetables for their table this summer, and in the future. The old buildings stand to the south west of the new, and in plain view, and are used now as stables, storehouses, and workshops, the new medical depart ment and office building has not yet been completed, but the students are do ing the finishing work as their time will termit. When all the necessary build ings and accommodations are (unshed this will be a very complete institution. These schools are, in reality, the only things that show any direct path towards the settlement of the Indian question, and the government does well in sup jtorting them. The school is in a healthy condition, and will opeu at its next term (tu September) in a very Batistaetorv manner. At present a large number ol the students are awav some at home, some working in the harvest fields, but a good many are still in attendance, and seem to like spending their vacation at the school in useful employment. Besides visiting the dormitories, the reporter went through the chattel, was shown the bakery, the water furnishing and heating apparatus, and several other things, all of which lie found interesting and in good shape. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The Secretary of the Interior on Or egon Swamp Lands liO.000 Acres Declared Swamp. It will be remembered that Gov. Moody made application to the U. S. land de partment, at Washington, recently, ask ing that all contests to determine the character of the lauds that had been ap proved und certified to by the state of Oregon as being swamp and overflowed, and as being hers under the swamp-laud grant, should be dismissed. The secre tary of tho interior has decided that after the approval and certification by the de partment and land office, the character of such lands cannot again be called in question on an affidavit of contest, which merely alleges that the landis not of the character granted, unless the applicant further alleges fraud or mistake in pro curement. By the decision of the secre tary and acts of congress, fraud must be sK(ciftca!ly stated. lie further holds that a party may contest the rijdit to such lands pi ior to approval and certifi cate by alleging and proving settlement prior to such approval, and that the land is nut overflowed, but susceptible of cul tivation without drainage. The lands heretofore approved and cer tified to the state as swamp and overflow, covered by this decision, are embraced in what is known as List No. 6, Lake View district, containing about 80,000 acres. It in claimed by the state that the remaining land, not approved and certi fied, J amounts to about 300,000 acres, which will be reported to the land office for approval and certification under the law laid down in this decision. Thk Wallowa Minks. The mines near Joseph are very promising at pres ent. A shaft twenty feet deon has been sunk on the Albatross mine, owned by Stuuislawsky, King & Co. The ledge is twenty-four inches wide and assays $00 to the ton. The Alpine, also owned by the same firm, is doubtless very rich. A shaft twenty-six feet deep has lieeu sunk on it and assays made of $505 to the ton. Mr. Stanislawsky has gone to Portland and may succeed in getting capital inter ested in the mines. La Grande Gazette. Bio Gold Nuuokt. It is said to be an actual fact that two Chinamen found a chunk of gold, three days ago, weighing 110 pounds, at Dutch Flat , which sold for f20,000. It is not known how it was discovered, but it is thought among the old placer diggings and abandoned claims. Union Scout. Tins Nkw F'irm. Cards of the new law firm of Stott, Waldo, Smith, Stott, and Boise, of Portland, have been received in this city. Judge Jr.o. B. Waldo and Whitney L. Boi-ie, foiniorly o'. Ih's city, are partners in the thm. FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY. About Ckater Lake. W. G. Steel writes to the Oregonian as follows re garding Crater lake: "Joe Weeks, a Klamath Indian, who acted as driver for one of the teams on onr trip from Ash land, has given the following items: The Ktamaths originally called Crater lake Giowy's ; Wizard island was called Llao Nens, or Devil's Hat ; Llao rock and He liotrope point were called Makoalx, be cause the Indians once came there by night, or slept there. Mt. Thiolsen was known as lschokolas; Diamond lake as Sokoax, and Annie Creek as Palalx. For the purpose of perpetuating tho name, Cant. Dutton Jtas decided to call a high cliff that stands directly opposite Llao rock and immediately north of Dutton cliff, Giowy's Rock. It is somewhat sim ilar in appearance to Llao rock, but is very much lower and does not stand out in the lake so boldly. A discovery made by ( 'apt. Dutton is that Crater lake is a formation that dates since the glacial pe riod. This is shown from the fact that plain traces of glaciers have been found on tho very top of the walls." Struck by Lkiutnino. A Goldondale paper says: D. II. Stegman of Hartland Bends the following item in regard to the killing of a steer bv lightning : At about 6:30 o'clock on Sunday evening of the 25th ult., a fearful thunder storm passed over this section. Stock of all kinds! were terror stricken, and ran in every di rection. About three or four minutes after passing along the road with my en tire family in a wagon, a streak of light ning came straight down from the heav ens, striking a two year-old steer belong ing to Wm. Wilkinson. The steer lay about fifteen feet from the road between that gentleman's and my place. The lightning seemed to have struck the an imal about the neck, and ran down under it, passing to the ground on the inside of its hind legs, burning the hair off clean. There were no marks of the ground hav ing been torn up. However, Mr. Wilkin son claims to have felt the shock of the electricity in his bouse. - Two Engines on the Express. The run on the express train between Port land and Lebanon has long been consid ered pretty hard, on one engineer to make daily without being relieved. The run from Portland to Lebanon and return is about 200 miles. For some years Char ley McDonald has been handling the throttle on the express, and has been a faithful and efficient engineer. Several days ago an accident occurred at Leba non which, fortunately, did not result in loss of life or serious injury to any one. The accident is claimed to be due to the fact that the engineer was overworked. Since the collision the Oregon & Califor nia railroad company has placed on the route two locomotives, having come to the wise conclusion that 200 miles per day is too raueh of a Btrain on one en gineer. II k Lit roil Murder. If. H. Kisten- mocher, under arrest at Oregon City, charged with the murder of Julius Chrintz, wan held for murder by Justice Calilf Monday. The crime was committed near Jiagie Creek, Clavkamas county, between the 10th and 21st of July, 1885. Chrintz, a bachelor, was a neighbor of lvislenmach- er s, and was on lnendiy terms with bun. Late m July the murdered body of Chrintz was found. Kistenuiacher disap peared for some time and th-.'ti returned. The evidence against Kisteumacher is all circumstantial. The dependent is mar ried. A Coving Entertainment. Company B, second regiment, second brigade, O. S. M., is considering the advisability of giving a musical entertainment on Friday evening, Aug. 27, for the benefit of its uniform-fund. From what has been learned, the concert will excel any given in Salem for a very long time. The best talent in the city will assist, and every thing points toward a very successful en tertainment. It is expected that the pro gramme w ill be ready for publication in few davs. Lko Broken. A son of Richard Fur well, aged about 13 years, residing near Shedd, met with a serious accident last Friday, by being kicked by a vicious horse. The boy entered the barn, and, on going near the horse, the animal kicked him, knocking him down, and af terwards striking him with his fore feet. One of the boy's legs was broken, and he was severely bruised, but a geutlemen from that city stated that the lad was get ting along nicely, aud will no doubt re cover. Albany Herald. Insanity Rampant. Says the Tele gram : During the past month or two an unusually large number of people were sout to the insane asylum from here. In looking over the records it will be found that they all belong to the lower walks of life, given to dissipating in a greater or lesser degree. The majority of these : peo ple can lie restored to complete mental health by a short sojourn at .Salem und proper treatment f jr the cure of alcohol ism. Ice-works. There will soon be ice works erected in Salem. They will be ready, at least, for next year's business. This will be a fine thing for Salem, and will keep considerable money here that is otherwise sent to Portland ; besides, Salem will no doubt secure a share of the outside -trade. It is understood that the ice-works will be erected by home capital, and will have the latest improvements and patents. Gone East. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Van Eaton left on yesterday afternoon's train for Portland. From that city they go to Colorado Springs, Colorady. Mrs. Van Eaton goes there for her health aud to visit relatives for some time, while Mr. Van Eaton goea on to Chicago on busi ness connected with the firm of Squire Farrar & Co., of which he is a member, and will soon return. Thk Cratkb LakkSurvky. The en giuoers have completed the survey of Crater lake, but the surrounding country is yet, much of it, unsurveyed. The U. squad oi troops returned on Monday to Vancouver barracks, and W. G. Steel, went down yesterday. The matter of making it a public park will come before the next session of c mgress. SCHOOL FOR DEAF MUTES. Some Improvements There, and Oth er Matters Appertaining to the Iiintitntion. lrabably of all the works of education, as practiced in this country, the school for the education of deaf mutes should attract as much attention, and show as much philanthropy, as any. The institu tion for their education in this state is under the superintend -nee of Rev. P. S. Knight, of this city, as is well known, and certainly it could not be in better hands. Surely, nobody in this state takes a deeper interest in this work than Mr. Knight, and it is almost wholly due to his efforts -that the institution here has become a state ward, and that the institution is so successful as it now is. Yesterday a representative of the Statesman visited the buildings of this institution, and found that Mr. Knight had made many improvements during the present vacation, Tho principal im provement has been in the enlargement of the boys' dormitory, by raising it bo high from the ground as to make a com modious basement underneath. The dormitory has been raised about five feet, and now the basement gives about seven and a half feet clear of the ceiling. It is intended to try to secure an appropriation from the coming legislature oi sufficient an amount to make several other much needed improvements about the school, notably among them, turning this base ment into shop. Mr. Knight wants the students to each and all learn a good trade, and among them ho counts shoe making, printing, carpentering, and sev eral other trades. The main and upper stories of the dormitory have been con siderably remodeled, and many changes for the better accommodation of the stu dents and teachers have been made. On the main floor several partitions have been removed, and a large airy and well lighted sitting room for the bovs will be prepared. This will be furninhed with stationery furniture. I he superintendents office and rooms have also been fitted up in this building. The building has undergone a thorough renovating, and has been re painted throughout, and now presents a very respectable appearance. A good many other improvements have been made about the school and lawns. The school will reopen next month, and, as soon as the students arrive, a good deal of work will be gotten out of the male stu dents in the way of improvements about the lawns, etc. The legislature should see the right side of the question and make a sufficient appropriation to sup port the school, as it should be support ed, and to fix up the buildings and the grounds. Mr. Knight certainly deserves great credit for w hat he has done on very meager and parsimonious appropriations, and it is to be hoped that his labors will see the school take a- stand along with those of other states. Thought He was a Thamp. An Ash land paper tells tho following practical joko, played by Charley McDonald, the old Lebanon express engineer, on the railroad "bhoys :" Wednesday morning, as the train was about to pull out for Grarts Pass, for Ashland, the engineer and fireman saw a man on the Irout end of the locomotive. They told him " 'twas no use, he d have to get oft ;" they were onto his racket, etc. lie said be d had a rough time "all broke up" and wanted to go up the road a little wav, anvhow. But they said it was against orders, and Uio tram men would bounce him anyway. Then the tramp said he guessed he'd ride in the cab, and when the light struck his face, he was found to be McDonald, engineer of the Albany express, who was having a little fun out of the boys. When they told him that one tramp was shot for trying to ride the O. & C, out this way, a year or bo ago, he concluded to play some" other trick the next time he came out. AaREfaTiiO. Deputy U. 8. Marshal Harbord arrested Charles Roe (or some body else more likely that is not his name) at the Indian camp near the de pot, on Monday evening, for selling liquor to Indians. Roe(?) is one of the "white trasn"' tnat go around the coun try, making Indian camps their head quarters. He is n. g.,and will be taken to Portland to-day for examination. Nkw Lights. A new electric light has been put up at the junction of Court and Commercial streets, and this, with that of Ferry and Commercial streets, which will soon be lighted, will make the busi ness part of the city light enough to suit the mst fastidious. New lights will al so be put in G. W. Tiffany's Farmer's store, and iu 1'aulus & Klinger's saloon Bin VoitK.-The largest day's work reported to us this season, was done on the farm of Hon. J. C. Braly last Thurs day, by Fletcher Bros.' machine. With a :i"-inch cylinder they run through 142 bushels of wheat, and. quit in good time. Ilipir uailv averaire for four davs w,as 1,850 bushe!s.--McMinnville Tele phone. Nkw Hoikb. A. J. Goodman, the en terprising livery stable man, of Indepen dence, has let the contract for a nice $1, out) resilience, to be completed this sea son, and A. T. Yeaton will build a res idence of the same description in North Salem. A. Olinger and son, of this city, have the contract to build each of these residences. All Hkre. Yesterday Thomas Town send delivered the last of the piles for tho bridge, as called for in his contract. Mr. Tow nsend has pushed the work very rapidly, and instead of being late with the piles, had them all here before the drivers were ready for them. ACC1I1KNTAL. JOLIl fCOlt, WHO WOS a student at tho Willamette university last year, met with an accident near Prine ville recently, while running a reaper having his thumb cut off. Mr. Scott has naauy friends iu Marion county. Runaway. A man by the name of Bush was driving past the poor house yesterday, with a wagon and a hay rack. His team became frightened and ran away, and did about ?20 wortli of damage. FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY. About tiik Fair. The success of the state fair will depend to a great degree upon the efforts of Salem people. Take the case of the Mechanics' fair in Port land. What is it made up of? It con sists mainly of the advertisements in the shape of displays of Portland's business men. Salem business men can learn a lesson from their Portland brothers, and can profit bv the lesson, and at the same time helo along an enterprise that helps them that, directly and indirectly, puts money in their tills. Every business man in Salem should make an exhibit of his wares, no matter what they are. It will pay. It will not only be. a splendid advertisement for each individual busi ness man, but it will be a good advertise ment for Salem, and what helps this city helps every man in business hero, and every resident thereof. But, you say, it will all cost money. Certainly it will, a small sum. But do you want" something for nothing? Do you expect that the fair managers will make your exhibit for you? Not a single Saleni business man should let this opportunity to help him self and his town go by. And, more. The ladies of Salem should take an inter est, and decorate and make the pavilion inviting and attractive. They should fol low the example of the Portland sisters and fix up an art gallery. If some of the prominent ladies of Salem will take hold of this matter, they can find plenty of pictures right here for this purpose. It would attract much attention, and reflect credit upon whatever ladies will take this thing in hand. Let us wake up and make this fair such a bucccss as will in sure the success of all future fairs. Faculty of the Albany College. The board of directors ef the Albany col legiate institute has secured as assistant to Dr. Thompson, Prof. W. II. Lee, of Middletown, Conn. Prof. Iee. is a gradu ate of Williams college, and, for the past three years has been principal of the high school, at Middletown, Conn. He ranked as one of the first scholars in col lege, and his record as a teacher is one of marked success. He is a tine classical scholar, very proficient in English litera ture and history, and teaches trerman it desired. The board is to lie congratulat ed upon obtaining so qualified a gentle man forthe important position, and the college is indeed fortunate. The faculty of the college is as follows : Rev. E. J. Thompson. D. D., president, instructor in moral philosophy, mathematics, and sciences ; Wallace II. Lee, A. B., instruc tor iu the classics, English and German ; Mrs. T. G. Brownson, instructor in the intermediate studies; Mary S. Thomp son, instructor in the preparatory studies. Competent instructors will be provided in vocal and instrumental music for any one who may desire to pursue these studies. The Exhibit Cab. To-day the state board of immigration commissioners ap pointed D. S. K. Buick, the editor and proprietor of the Roseburg Plaindealer, as president of the exhibit car, which is soon to be sent east. Mr. ciuck will rep resent uregon m that capacity, and a better selection would have been difficult to make. D. D. Prettyman, who has done such splendid work in collecting specimens for display, and in the classili cation and arranging of the same, will act as superintendent of the exhibit, and during the time the car is east will have personal charge of the display. This af ternoon the car was brought over from the east side and placed on a Bide track. Mr. Carmichael lias been given the con tract to make the necessary changes to the interior ef the car putting up parti tions, shelves, etc. He will commence to-morrow with a force of carpenters and rush the work through with all speed The car will be ready to start east about next Monday or luesday. lelegram. Portland's Watke Works. At last the Portland "committee of fifteen" pro vided for by Jonathan Bourn's bill passed at the special session oi tho legislature, has begun to get in its work. The com mittee has decided to issue city bonds to the tune of $740,000 and to construct a "pipe line" from Bull Run creek, near the Sandy river, to Portland, so as to in sure to the good wuter consumers of Portland, gixl water for all uses. This amount will leave a shortage of $75,000, it is estimated, and, if the committee succeeds in the purchase of tWe Portland Water Co.'s plant, at the price offered ($450,000) the next legislature will be called upon to authorize the city of Port land to issue more bonds, to help pay for the scheme. It is expected that tho city of Portland will find itself iu debt to the tune of something in excess of a million dollars, before "she gets real well wet ted" with the sparkling liquid of the gods. Bio Yikld. The yield of grain all over the valley has been very satisfactory to the farmers, and, from all appearances, the price will be up to the average. Sev eral very large yields have been reported so far. Among them comes a "yell of triumph" from T. T. Geer, of Macleay, whose facile pen often adds to the en lightenment of the readers of these col umns. Mr. Geer has just threshed 1352 bushels of clean wheat, machine meas ure, from thirty-one acres of land, mak ing the average over forty-four bushels per acre. Mr. Geer says: "Considering that this was done on the 'sterile' soil of the Waldo hills, in a season without any rain for three months, this is nothing to growl about." This paper agrees with Mr. Geer,that it is nothing to growl about. A large quantity of wheat is being deliv ered at the mills, although but little is selling. Quotations still remain b7i eente, locally. Lumiikk Shipment. During the month of June fourteen vessels sailed from Puget Sound lumber laden for foreign ports, one going to Callao, one to Makuhoua, two to Honolulu, one to Kalalui, S. L., four to Melbourne, three to Sidney, one to Nou mea, and one to Valparaiso. Five of the vessels were from Tacoma, three from Port Blakely, two from Port Ludlow, one from Seabeck, and one from Port Discov ery. From Tacoma was shipped 2,555,- 475 feet of lumber, 124,655 feet of laths and 83,723 feet of pickets. From Port Blakely went 1,332,265 feet of lumber, 1,389,109 feet of laths, and 122,000 feet of pickets. From Port Ludlow, 1,426,964 feet of lumber, and 151 ,0iM) feet of laths. From Seabeck, 3')0,9i)7 feet of lumber, and from Port Discovery went SS'J,004 feet of lumber and 937,70) foet of ftlhs. Total 7,505,127 feet of lumber, 2,0'ilYliH laths, and 122,000 pickets. BURGLARS ABROAD. The Residence of Rev. J. L. Purrish Entered on Tuesday Xijjht, anil Ransacked. If ono has not fully appelated the fact that this city has been full of tough char acters for some time, a glance along the streets, at the hour of dusk, or even ear lier would be all necessary to convince him of the fact. A crowd of tramps, thugs, and general thieves have been coming into the city for some time, and they expect to make this their headquar ters until tournament and fairtime. They have been careful about "showing their hands" until on Tuesday night. On that evening, the residence of Rev. J. I.. Parrish, on the north extension of Capitol" street, was entered through a window. The burgling made their way through all tho rooms, and burned matches, in the search of valuables. They took Mr. Pai-ridi's pantaloons from ins neu cnamner, and le t them nt thi . foot of the stairway. When found the pockets had been rifled, and relieved of all the small change they contained -probably about $1.50. A nickel had been overlooked, and was the only thing re maining in the pantaloons." A doll's trunk belonging to the little cirls was thoroughly searched, but nothing of val ue was found therein. The burglars did not get away with a great deal ; but the lesson is certainly one that every house hold in Salem may well study and prac tice for the next two or three months, or, at least, till after the fair. Doors are much safer when locked than when onen. and windows are harder to raise, if bolt ed, and the outside blinds closed. THE OREGON PACIFIC. Col. T. Edgerton Hogg anil Party at Albany Going Tlirongh the Minto Pass. Col. T. E. Hogg and party arrived in this city yesterday from Yaquina bay, says the Albany Herald, having spent three days in visiting various points of in terest. The party consists of the follow ing persons: J. L. Blair, of Blah-town, New York; G. C. Blair, of Belveidere, N. I Percey R. Pine, Sr., and Percey R. Pine, Jr., of New York city; and Dr. Burk of the same city, besides Col. Hogg, president of the road, Wallis Nash, vice- president, and A. O. Eckelron, chief en gineer of the road. Messrs. Blair and Pine are prominently connected with the Chicago & North western railroad, and came out with Col. Hogg, for the purpose of examining the Yaquina harbor and the Oregon Pacific company's work. Col. Hogg is reticent concerning any further plans of the company, but says that four first-class fast steamers will soon be running on the Hue between Ya quina and San Francisco, one of which is now on the way, loaded with rails for railroad construction between Albany and Boise City. The ocean time will also be shortened, and the road improved to ad mit faster trains between this city and the bay. The road will be pushed for ward rapidly toward Boise City to meet the work in progress on the other side, thus connecting Yaquina Bay with a transcontinental line, and placing Albany at a junction of two great railway lines. The party left Albany last evening with teams going as far as Scio. From there they will travel up the proposed route through Fox Valley toward the Minto pass. They will then return and go via Lebanon to Waterloo and Soda Springs, and from there to Fish Lake, over the W. V. & C. wagon road, in which the Oregon Pacific Railroad company is in terested, spending a few days hunting and fishing. They will then return and visit the southern terminus of the O. Sc C, railroad. It Didn't Work. Yesterday afternoon, soon after the arrival of Col. Hogg and purty in this city, a portly, sleek-dressed young man stepped into the Linn County bank and introduced himself as a nephew of Col. E. I). Baker, stating that he was from Chicago and a representative o the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Co., ami that he had come out to Albany to confer with Col. Hogg and party, and asked if Col. Hogg had yet been up to the bank. On being informed by the cashier that he had not, he continued to eulogize the prospects of the Oregon Pa cific, Albany, and Yaquina bay, and con cluded by saying he had some checks he would like to have cashed. Mr. Cusick began to suspect that the young man might be identified in railroads only in walking from one town to another on the ties, and declined to cash his checks. The young man then asked him in a con fidential way if he could not accommo date him vith $1.50 until Col. Hogg came in. ''Possibly, if you have good collater al security," was the reply. With an in jured air "he left the bank, going, he said, to hunt up Col. Hogg and set tlie matter right. As he did not return it is thought ho may have taken a tie ticket to Salem to negotiate with some banker there to build a branch road from the Oregon Pa cific to that city. Albany Herald.
