TIIiU OHEGON S'l ATESMAN FKIDAY, JANUARY 27. 1887. FROM FRIDAY'8 DAILY. Key Found. E. M. Waite is notori ously the worst writer in the Willamette valley. He is the Horace Greely of the Pacific coast. For many years those to whose lot has fallen the painful duty of deciphering Mr. Waite'a illegible hiero glyphics have in vain sought an easy method of solution of his strange and fearful characters. But the Alexander who was to cut the Oordian knot has been found. Wednesday night, before locking up his printing office, Mr. Waite left a note attached to the stove, instruct ing his janitor, Prof. Hiram O'Gorman, to clean out the ashes. The ordinary ob server, upon beholding the notice, would have thought that Mr. Waite had been amusing himself by drawing a picture of the Bennett House ruins, but yesterday morning, when Prof. O'Gorman, whocan neither read nor write, brought his Afri can intellect to bear upon the mystic signs, he instantly recognized the charac ters of his Egyptian ancestors, and forth with proceeded to clean out the stove. Mr. Waite has secured Prof. O'Gorman at a large salary a9 his amanuensis and interpreter. Thus was what he Portland Telegram would term a "mysterious mystery" (strange that a mystery should be mysterious !) triumphantly solved. Salbmitbs in California. C. B. . Woodworth, of Portland.whowith hiswife has just returned from a trip to Califor nia, makes this mention of Salemites: "While in San Jose we looked up Mrs. .Frank Parmenter, who lives there with her parents. Judge and Mrs. Fryer. We found Miss Loru Chapman and Miss Minnie Chapman stopping with them. We were invited to dinner.and afterwards -Miss Loru took us out for a drive through the far-famed "Alameda," an avenue of -trees, as you know, planted by the Fran ciscan monks ever so many years ago, some of whom look very ancient while -others have entirely disappeared; but their places have been supplied by new trees, and the Alameda bids fair to con tinue for ever; (do not confound the itown of Alameda Across Hi- .kiy from ban Francisco, with the nM Alameda or 'beautiful way' of Pa i Jose.) Judge Fryer went to ban Justs expecting to die, but is now a well, hearty man, with a prospect of many years' lease of life be fore him. He is deligkted with the 'country but the ladies pine for Oregon." The place is described as almost a para- dise upon earth in winter, but that the continued sunshine becomes wearisome. The Epiphany Pakty. The annual epiphany party of the members of the Episcopal church was given on Wednes day night by Wm. J. Clarke, at the fam ily residence on Gaiety Hill. It is the -annual custom of the Episcopal church to celebrate the "epiphany" festival, and the manner of deciding when the party shall be given is by lot.. A riris is placed in a cake and the person who receives the ring with his or her piece of cake shall the following year give the epiphany party. Mrs. Dr. josephi drew the prize, and will next year be the hostess at the epiphany celebration. The guests of Wednesday evening passed the time most pleasantly, music, dancing, and playing, and excellent refreshments be ing the principal feature of the enter tainment. Fifty guests or more were present, and not a one failed to have a good time. Change in Guards. Yesterday was commenced the work of changing the personnel of the force at the penitentiary, in accordance, it is understood, with the wishes of the new superintendent, Mr. Clow, who will assume his position on February 1st. It was intimated to Mr. Collins, "the present superintendent, that it would be desirable for one Chas. Arm strong, of Douglas county, to be appoint ed guard, and to make room for him it was necessary to relieve from duty some one of the present force. The names of the lour unmarried guards were placed in a hat, and the one whose name was drawn was to be removed. Richard Westacott drew the prize, and now he is footloose. It won't be very long before the entire force at present employed in the prison will be supplanted The Postal Tblkqbaph Co. Woik nien have been seen putting in posts along the line of the railroad for the new telegraph company, during the past few days. An attempt to find out something of the intentions of the company by a reporter of the .Statesman, has met with failure. The reputed agents of the company here disclaim all knowl edge of the concern. The company seem to be afraid that somebody will discover tha it intends to enter the city and do business here. If it keeps on as it is, v. hen it has established an office, people will know as little about its location as t.ieydonow. Cleveland May Visit Oregon, A well-known democrat in Portland claims to have received a letter from a friend at the national capital, to whom President Cleveland intimated that he may visit he Northwest the coming summer. The Washington man writes: "Oregon ahd Washington have been brought more or less to the attention of the president since his induction into office, and he is anxious to learn more about those sec tions than he can by hearsay. Recently he told me that in all probability he will visit the Northwest in the summer of this year." Portland News. True Removed. Borne time Saturday night, a large fir tree came floating down the river and lodged on one of the drift breakers of the bridge, where it remained until yesterday. Tuesday night the com mittee on streets and public property ob tained full control of the bridge from the council, and yesterday they offered $10 to the person who would remove the log. Bert Hatch worked most of the day at the log, and in the afternoon loosened it from its entanglement and it renewed its journey down the river. The log was a large one, being over 100 feet in length. Lodge Installation. The following persons have been installed as officers of Cuemeketa Lodge No. 1, I. O. O. F., to serve for the ensuing six months ; W. H. Byrd, N. G. ; W. E. McAfee, V. G. ; Harvey S. Jordan, R. 8. ; T. A. Howard, P. S.; Geo. E. Good, Treas. ; W. I). Claggett, warden ; L. E. Pratt, Con. ; A. B. Croasman, I. G.; J. G. Wright, R. S. N. G. ; C. B. Moores, It.. 8. N.

It is the go noal understanding'that the enforcement of the Oregon state dairy law has done much towards protecting as well as improving and encouraging Ore gon's dairy interests. And as Governor Penuoyer, in his inaugural, intimated that the office of Oregon state dairy com missioner might be abolished because of the existence of a congressional law on the subject, a reporter of the Statksman deemed it timely to interview Mr. W. W. Baker, Oregon state dairy commissioner, which resulted in the following conver sation : Reporter "Mr. Baker, what do you think of Governor Ponnoyer's suggestion in regard to the national'dairy law being adequate to prevent the sale and use of bogus dairy products?" Mr. Baker "I think that congress in tends to do a good thing, but like many other new laws, it is defective to the end that the object aimed at could not be ac complished." Rep. "Will you point out the defects of the national law?" Mr. B. There are two fatal defects in the national law. First, there is no pro vision wherebvan analysis may made. This is certainly a very serious Emission ; or if the revenue officers have no author ity to have analyses made, it will be im possible for them to secure a conviction. because imitations can onlv be detected by chemists, and it is only en the chem ists testimony that a suit can be main' tained. I am authorized by the Oregon law to have analyses made, and this is all that ever saved us. Second the national law makes no provision that re quires ( hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, etc., to publicly advertise that they use the bogus article. But our law requires them to do so and I regard it as all in all ; for the fact is nobody will use oleomargarine if they know what it is. I do not think the governor would have made the suggestion he did, if he had been aware of the defects of the national law, for in every other particular he has manifested an earnest interest in behalf of the industrial classes." THE FREE DELIVERY SYSTEM. Au Inspector of the Postofflce Depart ment Will Visit Salem and Report. A few days since this paper mentioned the fact that the bill under which Salem is entitled to the benefits of the free de livery system had passed and become a law, and the further fact that the atten tion of the postoffice department had been directed to tho claims- of Salem by Senator J. N. Dolph. The following letter in this connection will explain it self: Washington, D. C, Jan. 13. Hon. J. N. Dolph, U. S. Senator Sir: I have the honor to inform you that an inspector of the postoffice department has been directed to visit Salem, Oregon, to ascertain whether it has the nec- essary qualifications for the free delivery service under the recent act of congress, and report in detail to this office. ery respectfully yours, 4. E. Stevbnson, First Asst. P. M. Gen'l New Stbambbs en Route. The Ore gon Pacific railroad company have two elegant steamers on the way from New York, which are to be placed on the route between San irancisco and Yauui- na. They are named respectively, "Willamette Valley" and "Eastern Ore gon." The former vessel left New York last week, and the latter left vesterday. They will 'both be here in time for the spring trade. Suit to Rkcovek Money. A suit was yesterday instituted in Justice J. O'Don aid's court, wherein Dr. H. Smith(dentist) is plaintiff, against Frank Morris and wife, who iive near Gervais. It is a civil action to recover money, the sum of $72. Ed. Downing appears for the plaintiff and ford and Kaiser for the defendants The case was continued until 10 Vclock this morning. Drill. AU boys who are members of the Band of Hope please meet Capts, Waller and Hunt at the armory, to-day, at 4 o'clock sharp, for the regular weekly drill. The Band of Hope meets to-mor- row in the M. E. church at 2 p. m., to prepare for the coming public entertain ment, liider Webb will deliver a short address, illustrated by experiments. In the Lead. Strong & Co. are hold ing the reins over the liveliest restaurant trade in Salem. Making no long or short stops on the busy track, bounding along with a determination to win, outtrotting and outdoing the attempts of all comet- ltors, beating all former records by sev eral lengths. A Mistake. The statement in the other morning's Statesman that Rev. J. C. Baker was to be transferred to another charge in the Baptist church was a mis take. He will retain his present position as general mission agent for the North Pacific coast, while Rev. Burchett will be general mission agent for Oregon. Matters Adjusted. The trouble be tween the Irish duke and Italian count has been adjusted at last. Yesterday both parties appeared before Justice rayne Dy ineir atorneys ana uaa an au justment of their differences. Case Aroued. The case of state vs, Nelson Dilley and Henry Johns, was ar gued in the supreme court yesterday, District attorney Belt and N. B. Knight appeared for the state, and Tilmon Ford and Geo. II. Burnett for the defense. Notaries Appointed. Thos. E. Park er, Yaquina, J. II. Caldwell, Carlton, II. C. Condon, Arlington, and F. A. Moore, St. Helens, have been appointed notaries public by Uovernor 1'ennoyer. Few fresh groceries of every kind, remember to Squire Farrar & Co. '8. 1 to go FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY. A Portland Young. Lady. Miss Mat- tie Mitchell, daughter of Senator Mitch ell, is said to have raised quite a sensa tion in astungton society by her retusai to receive any more bouquets this winter. I Portland World. The truth is only partially stated in tho foregoing. It is understood that Miss Mitchell has heard of the action of the Portland young ladies in refusing to receive any bouquets un less a receipted bill for the sauie is at tached, and she wishes to show that she is a Portland young lady, and will stand by the mandates of Portland society. The rumor that the young man of crysan- themum notoriety had sent her a bou quet without the required bill, and that this precipitated her action, is incorrect. Soon bb Repaired. One day last week the Oregon Pacific railroad com pany's steamer N. S. Bentley came down to this city to undergo neceBsarv repairs after her very rough handling at Albany. She was taken to Stetl'on's boatyard be low the citv, where workmen have been engaged for several days. The machin ery escaped with very slight damage. By Saturday it is thought ttiat the re pairs will be completed and the boat ready for service again. The United States inspectors will make an examina tion of the hull, boiler anil fixtures for safety of the new boat. After all reports it seems the damage to the boat was not as heavy as was at first supposed. Tel egram. China New Year. To-morrow will begin the new China Year. To-night the sound of the fiddle, the kettle-drum, the gong, the cymbals, the whistle and the swinette will combine to make heavenly munie for the celestial car. To-night the fire-cracker and bomb will be uncomfortably present, the devil will be scared away for another year by the usual approved methods, and incense will be burnt in honor of the great joss. To-night will begin the season which lasts for one whole week, and in which no heathen car. be hired to work, for love or money. And the Gentile will cuss for a solid hour over the non-arrival of his Sunday shirt. A Long Sieoe. The case of R. S. Mor ris against R. W. Chase was commenced before Justice J. F. Hayes in Abiqua pre cinct, Tuesday morning and continued during the day. The suit was for dam ages of $250 alleged to have been sus tained by the plaintiff' at the hands of the defendant in the faulty construction of a building erected by the latter. The case was turned over to the jury on the evening of Wednesday, and a decision was not reached until Thursday night. The justice kept the jury out until they agreed a verdict, which was for if-JS in favor of the plaintiff. W. Holmes ap peared for the plaintiff and Wm. KaiHer for the defense. A Bio Splurge. On next Monday night the Salvation Army intends to have a grand time. The occasion will be a good old fashioned sociable, at which there will be present about twenty-five of the members of the army from Port land. The intention is to raise money for the maintenance of the barracks in Salem. The people of Salem may think they have attended sociables, but they haven't, as they will find out after Mon day night. No disreputable persons will be present. Memliers of the legislature will be allowed admittance upon presen tation of certificate of good moral char acter. Trains Late. Both the luorning and afternoon trains were behindhand yes terday. The report was that the one o'clock train would not be in until about two, and when the train steamed in about 1 : 20, distracted individuals from all parts of town might have been seen rushing toward the depot. Many legis lators and others who wished to getaway were left. The causes of delay in both instances were that the high water had made fast running in some places unad visable, from fear of washouts. Turned Over. A. O. Waller has turned over his gunsmith store to Wm. Beck & Son of Portland. It is stated that the new firm intend to move the business from its present location around to the vacant store room on Patton's block, on State street, and then to oen up with a big stock. Beck & Son own a large store in Portland, and there is no reason why a branch store here, conducted by them, should not succeed well. SILVERTON ITEMS. January 19. Mr. M. Whitlock, of Butte Creek, is in town, and reports every tiling fine in his vicinity. Fall wheat is looking fine in this part of the county, and the prospect for a heavy crop is good. There is an effort being made to have a normal school at this place, a thing long wanted, and it would be a great benefit to the place, as well as an accom modation to families wishing to give their children a good education. We wish it success. The farmers and stock men are com plaining of the incessant rain that has been falling for several days, and claim that it is very bard on the stock, as the animals are wet all the time, and, as the the rain is cold, the animals are falling off, in flesh. This afternoon, Mr. Drake and T. R. Hibbard were out riding on horseback, and when near Mr. A. F. Blackerby's place, on Drift creek, the horses being in a lope, the horse of Mr. Hibbard stum bled and fell on the rider, bruising the right leg very badly and also the face. Mr. Hibbard is confined to his room but it is to be hoped that he will soon bf out again on our streets. R. CROWDED OUT. "I never take anything in my whisky," he said, as he shaded the glass with his band, and lifted it slowly to his mouth. "No," responded the bartender, with emotion, "you don't leave any room for it.

THE BOUNDARY QUESTION. How the Oregon Trouble Was Settled and War Averted "Wasu't Worth a War." At the time of the formation of a pro visional form of government by and for the settlers of Oregon in 1845, the "boundary question" was the burning issue between England and the United States. Prior to that period neither gov ernment had appeared at liberty to ex tend the jurisdiction of its laws to this part of the continent. In the judgment of McLoughlin, chief factor of the Hudson's Bay company, the best way to protect its property was to ac cept the invitation tendered by the Ameri cans to join their government organization. Accordingly after a brief period, on con dition that the company should pav taxes only on goods sold to" the white inhabi tants of the country, the officere of the Hudson's Bay company became, with all the British residents, parties to the polit ical company of Oregon. It was a most timely action, tho union of the lion with the eagle, for only a few days later the British fifty gtm-Bhip of war, Amorica, arrived from Puget Sound. Tho British squadron of tho Pacific thon amounted to fifteen vessels, carrying over four hun dred guns. The avowed object of tho fleet was to afford protection to lief Majesty's subjects in Oregon, in case they required it." Had these proffers of protection, which really meant war, come a few weeks sooner, war doubtless would have been the result. When the British came to Vancouver at this time "they," says Mr. Bancroft, the Pacific historian, "expected to maintain England's hold of the north side of the Columbia river; but they found the Hudson's Bay company bound in an agreement of mutual protec tion with the Americans; they learned the fearless and resolute character of the colonists, and their rapidly increas ing numbers, and were constantly check ed in their expressions of hostility by McLoughlin, who assured them, and even wroto hack to England that the country was not worth a war." Gordon, the commander of the man-of-war, America, is said to have agreed with McLoughlin, but on entirely diflorent grounds. He was speaking literally, be cause he found the N'esqtially plains a bed of gravel ; and because being fond of angling, the salmon would not rise to the fly. A country where the fiBh were not lively enough for his sport was in his estimation worthless. But the sal mon were not the only fish in Oregon that refused to rise to the fly of tho British angler. OBITUARY SKETCH. Died, in Prescott, Washington Terri tory, Nov. 18, 1880, Benjamin Walden. Deceased was born in the city of Cin cinnati, Ohio, on the 28th of December, 1820. The family history is traceable to the Waldenses of the thirteenth century, from which the name is derived. Thn?e brothers came from England to America about the year 1705, one of whose estates known as Harlem Commons, is now in chancery in New York. The maternal grandmother was Dorothy Labourghto, who accompanied two of her brothers from the city of Paris, to engage in shi building at Philadelphia. Their dock vards and unfinished work was destroyed by British captors. Soon after this reverse one brother died of brain fever, the other escajied with the sister to Trenton N. J., where she married Peter Schmidt, of New York. After seven years they removed to Cincinnati, arriving at that place in 1805, at which place their eldest child, Catharine Schmidt, was married to Ebenezer Walden, in the year 1818. Of this union there were two children, Benjamin and Peter Walden. In the year 18152, they removed to Indiana, where Benjamin attended the Wabash college, until he became a teach er in the public schools of that state. In I 1843, he went to St. Joseph, Misouri, I .t. I. . ....... I T I .l v. litre ue married jane ijenwmm, wnose hither and mother, John and Jane Lein mon, were honored citizens of Marion county Oregon, their home being near Brooks. The two families cronsed the plains to Oregon in 1845. From The Dalies nine of the party were to cross the Cascade mountains. Among those were Benjamin Walden and wife, and Lemuel Leiumon, a boy nine years of age. When near the summit, an Indian took their pack horse and provisions. From that time they were nineteen (lays with three biscuits each, and such portions of teef as they dared to eat after the cattle had eaten poison laurel. Losing their way in the blinding snow storms, they wandered far up the south side of Mt. Hood, being three dayB on the perpetual snow. The sun shone on the fourth day. They were guided by the slopes of the western side of ttie range, and finally all reached the comfortable home of Peter Hatch, well known to all pioneers. During twenty years' residence in Marion county, he was twice elected county judge. The office of secretary of state, also that of governor of Oregon, were tendered, but lie declined political preferment, devot ing his time to making a home on the donation claim six miles east from Salem; in the Waldo hills. In 1871 he removed to Umatilla county, Oregon, for the benefit of his health and for a few years improved so much that a ripe old age seemed to await him. In that county he was twice elected mem ber of commissioners' court, and at the time of his death was justice of the peace in the town of Prescott, and attended important law and collecting business until two days before his death. He had suffered with Brights disease for six years, but retained so much determina tion against the inroad of disease, that no one anticipated his situation, until a stroke of paralysis came at ton o'clock on Tuesday, November 16, and in thirty-six hours this was followed by another one that was only a few hours 'previous to death. After the first stroke ins speech and mind remained clear, and he sang at intervals between pain. The last words were of resignation and a good prepara tion of heart for that change. A friend to the poor and needy, a true lover of justice, temperance, art, virtue, who lived so unassuming a life that his vast store of knowledge, acquired by a life devoted to reading good books and healthy literature, was scarcely noticed, except by those who observed his apt ness at quotation or his choice manner of expression.

Earhart, as secre tary of state from January 1, 1885, to January 1, 1887, is just from the printer. It is a large book of 170 pages of princi pally tabular matter, and shows ihe exact condition of the state's finances. From It the following figures lire taken : The delinquent taxes from the counties of the state amount to $07,854.03. Of this amount $830 is charged to Marion county, hut it will probably bo credited by act of this legislature as it is for taxes due prior to 1808. It sliows the bonded duht of the state to be $1,005.40, and outstanding warrants $53,032.03. Reduction in state debt Bince December 21, 1884, was $102, 700.04; since Sent. 1, 1878, $701,083.05. It shows the condition of the several state funds, in most of which balances exist. The fugitive fund shows a deficit of $15.22, which is the only fund which was overdrawn up to January 1, 1887. The number of warrants drawn by the secre tary of state during the two years was 0,050, against 2,002 drawn during the former two years and three months. There wore 250 com pan ten filed articles of incorixiration between December 1, 1884, and December 1, 1880. The report contains statistics gleaned from the asses sor's rut urns of the various counties, the roHter of officers in the state militia, and many other things of interest, in relation to that office. It is a clear and compre hensive rejiort. Business Change. Negotiations have been ponding for some time past between Lute Savage and E. L. L. Johnson for the transfer of the ownership of the book store of the latter to tho former. Yester day the sale was consummated, and to ginning with Monday, the business will be in the hands of Mr. Savage. Mr. Johnson has made many friends during his residence in Salem, and it is with re gret that thev see him leave for the East, as he intends doing. Howover, he will probably return. Mr. Savage, the now proprietor, is well known in Salem and vi cinitv as a gonial and enorgotic young gentleman. Although entrance into the book and stationery business is a new move for him, there is no doubt that he will make a success of it, as he will se cure the most efficient clerical service, and as he has the ability and means to make his business one of the most flour ishing in this city. Tlip Statesman be 8MHiks for him a liberal patronage, us he will surely endeavor to deserve it. He intends to carry a complete stock of every thing in his line, and to push his business to tiie front rank. Second Recital. On Friday evening, Jan. 21, the second musical recital of the year took place at the conservatory roomB of Willamette university, under direc tion of Miss Frank ie Jones, first teacher of instrumental music. A number of friends of tho pupils wore present, be sides a few invited guests, among whom were some of tho musical critics of the city. The programme included wjIhc tions from the liest coiuUHerH, lUnitho ven, Schuman, Wagner, anil others whose names are celebrated in the world of music. Her pupils showed a marked und most gratifying degree of improvement over the recital of throe months since, particularly on the part of the younger misses, while many of the more advanced ones evinced marked ability. Time is dumostrating that Miss Jones is admirably fitted for the position of musical instructor, and the pupils under her charge tiave an assured future of progress, according to the best meth ods of instruction, as amply demonstrat ed on the evening mimed. Hot kor Dkcemukr. From a private letter from Mrs B. F. Bonham, wife of the U. S. consul general at Calcutta, In dia, dated Dec. 7, 180, it is learned that the thermometer at 7 a. m., on Decem ber fl, Htood at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and at 3 p. in., it stood at 84 degrees, and at 9 p. m., it was at 72dogrees. On the 7th at 7 a. m., it stood at Oil degree), at 11 a. m., 70 degrees all in the shade. She reports many deaths' from cholera, principally among the natives. It in sta ted that there were 205 deaths from chol era alone in the last two weeks. Taken to Umatilla. Job. 15. Eddy, editor of the Pendleton Tribune, started for home yesterday, and took with hiui one R. Scott, a convict, who was sen tenced a few months ago to the jxinitcn tiary for five years for horse stealing. The grand jury of Umatilla county has found an indictment against Scott's part ner for complicity in the same crime, and an ordor was issued from the circuit court for that county for Scott to come buck and testify in the case. The Fkihhkokn Family. The Frish korn family has returned to Manhattan, the scene of the homicide of last week. They have telegraphed for legal assist ance to gain possession of their home. The trouble in that locality seems yet unsettled. Public opinion is on the side of the Frishkorns, and rightly, too, and if the trends and relatives of Gun dor son start a vendetta they will regret it. No indictment has been found against the girl. In Favor of Defendant. The suit of Dr. 11. Smith against 11. Morais for $70, alleged to be due plaintiff from defen dant, was tried in Justice O'Donald's court on Thursday. The case was sub mitted to the jury about 11 o'clock that night, and, in a short time a verdict in favor of defendant was rendered. The case was hotly contested, and lasted all day. Knight & Downing appeared for the plaintiff" and Ford & Kaiser for the defense. Wet Weather. Notwithstanding the extremely wet weather during the past week, Geo. E. Good, the leading drug gist, has been doing a fine business. Cause why : The people have found out that there is the place to get the purest drugs, the most accurate prescriptions, and the most reliable goods in this lino. He still leads the trade in fine cigars with Tansill's Punch a specialty. Another Appointment. Dr. W. H Byrd has been apjwinted by Superin- tendent Clow as physician for tho peni tentiary. This is a very good appoint ment. The position is worth $500 jnsr year, and is what might be called a "soft sit." Removed. Fishburn & Suhomaker, dealers in pumps, windmills, farm ma chinery, etc., have removed their place of business from State street to 288 Com mercial street, in Williams & England's block, second door north of R. M. Wade & Co.'b store. They proposo to push their business in the future, and proba bly udd so nionew lines. Coming this Week. Next Saturday night Chas. Dudley, the. Shaksperean reader, and Miss Laura Biggar, the prima donna, will appear at Reed's opora house, in one of their pleasing entertainments, under the auspices of the W. 0. T. U. Mr. Dudley and Miss Biggar come both highly recommended as artists in their particular lines, and they ought to have a crowded house. Ali.e Same Memcan Man .Dr. Kim, a Chinaman who claims to bo a physi cian, was arrested on Friday night for selling liquor without license. Ho was taken before Recorder Stricklor and fined $20 and costs, amounting in all to $25,80, which he puid. New Water Knoinu.
