Tim HoAim or Immigration. Kutnr jay afternoon a meeting of the citizens 0 Portland was hold at the rooms of the board to (IovIho Hume means of continu ing the work. The uhnirmun, C. H. flodd, stated that despite the fact that Oie state liad refused to appropriate (undH to carry on the work, the board was still legally organiy-ed. There was no duration fixed for the termx tf the mam hern of the hoard. The board wan perpetual, and could go ahead with tlie work in hond. The Htate gave the (ward two years ago $10,000. Tim Ivoard has returned for that sum $4 ,000,000 which wan brought into the state by immi grants. Just what portion of thin amount the 1m Mini had been instrumental in bringing into the atate no one could cay, hut it hail done its share. It wuh mile to nay that 25,000 immigrants had leen ad ded to the population of the Htate through the agency ol the hoard. lhe expenses of the board could be roliud to $250 per month and the work carried on effective ly. The chairman was authorized to ap jKjiut a committee of one from each county and five from Portland, to solicit mibscriptioiiB to carry on the Htate hoard. The chair announced that lie would make the apiMtintmmitB in a few days. Within five minutes after the meeting adjourned $1000 wbh subscribed; ho it is safe to predict that enough money will he sub scribed in Portland to maintain the or ganization. Jumped Til Country. Yesterday morning, when the case of State of Ore gon vb. John Ilaker was called in the court of Jtrntice Bleakney at Turner, it was found that the prosecuting witness, Ueorj?e Wilson, waH not present, and it was imHMiHihle for the examination to proceed ; ho Baker wax discharged by the justice. Wilson Went south on Saturday night'H train, and it is hardly probable that tie will show up around Turner again vory soon. He left either because lie feared that IiIh life wan in danger, or be cause lie wan afraid he might )e held for the seduction of Hattie liakor. Proba bly Inrth. Sentiment atiaiiiRt Wilson wa highly Htirred up among the good iieaple of Turner, who consider that he has done a most villainous act in ruining Miss Baker under promiHe of marriage, and betraying: the confidence she and her family reamed in him and Iiib promises. The Bakers are among the most remiectahle of the people of that section of the country, and the blow iH a terrible one for them. It is no wonder that the Bona attempted to wreak num mary vengeance Uon the destroyer of the family's jwace and the daughter's reputation. Relic Social.

It i too great an midertaking to enumerate the very many attractive and historical relics and curiosities that have been secured and accumulated by the executive committee and that will ap lear on exhibition, but it iH sufficient to state that the collection will embrace manv cnrioH and relics of nast history of thiB country, relics from Bible lands; also curiosities from Japan ana oilier lemons of the Orient j also an interesting collec tion of rude wean8 of warfare from Alaska; relics of Hie early pioneers, and pioneer dava of Oregon.

Wight, of South Salem, yesterday bought through Hendricks & Saubert, the new real estate agents, the northerly half of lots 3 and 4, in block 11, in the university addition to the city of Salem. There are Beveral other lots bargained . .1.:.. li,rla for which lor 111 hud iiiih-v, -v.- --- -have not yet been delivered, and it looks to a man up a stump as if all the lots in this tract will go off like hot cakes. There will be many nice cottages erected on this tract during the coming summer, and the property will no doubt double in value before manv months roll round. There is a great deal of inquiry about real estate, and the heavy immigration expected from the eastern states will no doubt infuse considerable life into real estate transactions.

The state should offer a premium for the pelts of the scoundrels who tImB wantomy slaughter deer for the trilling amount they receive on the skins. In thk City. Otto Schultz, the lessee of the Jeliorson flouring millH, was in the city yesterday, and called at this of lice. He says there is a prospect of changing the maohinory in the mills there to the latest improved roller process. John (1. "Wi'telit Elected Director and David KimpHon Clerk of District No. 24. Little interest was manifested in the election of school director and clerk yes terday, a very light vote being polled. A novel featnre of the election was the can didacy of Mrs. Amelia E. Miller for di rector. Home work was done for her by friends, but she succeeded in securing only one third of the total number of voteB cast. The fact, too, that Mr. Wright has made an excellent officer, and that a woman must needs enter the race handicapped by her sex, weakened Mi-h. Miller's opposition. There were 4')3 votes cast in all, of which three were rejected as being ille gal. The following is the vote : FOR WRKCTOR. John (. Wright 2!. Amelia K. Miller 131. FOR CLERK. David Simpson, 3i)2. Scattering, 8. John (1. Wright and Oavid Simpson are therefore elected to succeed them selves. Mr. Wright will hold office for three years, and David Simpson for one year. Compared with last year's vote there was a falling off in the number of votes iKjlled. At that time there was some thing of a contest over both the offices of director and clerk, and 632 votes were caHt against 403 this year. The judges were deo. H. Burnett, J. M. I'ayne, and J. II. MeCormack, and the clerks I). L. (ireen and Geo. Watt. Neat Printing Establishment. A re porter, yesterday, accepted an invitation from E. M. Waite to call and see the changes and improvements he had made in his printing rooms, where he has been busy, during the last two weeks, with carpenters and painters, in reorganizing and refittina: his office. He now has one The System will be Established Salem en the 1st day of July 1877. in It is almost certain that the free deliv ery system will be established in Salem, as is indicated by the following Bpecial of the neatest and best-arranged printing dIh. ? ?eBrday Oregonian : Mtihliahuiftnta in th State, and amon "Officials in the postoffice department state that as the report ot the inspector detailed to examine into the advisability Memorial Exercises.

One of the two now steamers recently purchased by the Oregon Development company to ply be tween this city and Yaquina bay, will be due at this nort about April 1st. The name of this steamer is the Willamette Valley. She is an iron screw vessel ol (120 tons net, and capable of attaining a twelve-knot speed. Her cabin has atv ommodations lor eighty passengers, The steamer left Baltimore on January 15th. The other new steamer is called the Eastern Oreuon.

Pastorate Resigned. Some time ago Rev. M. L. Rugg tendered his resignation as pastor of the Baptist church of this city, but his congregation refused to ac cept it and asked him to reconsider his action. Mr. Rugg resigned because he thought that the work accomplished by him had not heen commensurate wnn his expectations, and he thought he ought to move to some other field, where he could work more enectuaiiy. ine mem bers of the church knew that this was no fault of Mr. Rugg's, and conscious of his merit as a Christian paBtor ana nis aoin ity as a preacher, they were especially anxious to retain him. The other day Mr. Riipet received a call from the Bap tist chnrch of East Portland, and it is un derstood that he iB undetermined about accentine it. It is to be hoped that Mr. liugg will decide to remain nere in pa- lem. His contrreiration and friends would Bincerely regret his depaiture Business Change. J. D. McCully has bought out the interest of A. b. Croa man in the clothing store in this citj', and Mr. Croasman will open a store in Portland on or shortly after theTirst ol Aoril. His store will be at 111 First street, formerly occupied by Jones Bros. It is between K. .Lipman's and fcggeri, Young & Co.'b. Mr. Croasman will carry there gent's furnishing goods and hats exclusively. He has hired to take nosition m his store Johnny Coffey, now working for the Western Union teleeratm company in inat city. Al's manv friends in this city will be sorru to see him leave us, and they sin cerely hope that tie win oo wen in uie metropolis, lie is a nrst-ciass DUBinesg man, and has plenty of means to carry a splendid stock. Both Pleaded Guilty. Yesterday morning D. M. Evans, living about four miles east of thie city, was arrested by Deputy Potter at the instance of C. F. Hoisington, for assault committed on the latter some days ago. It appears that at that time Evans and Hoisington got into a difficulty about some horses, which re sulted in a fight, Hoisington coming out worsted. Evans was taken before Jus tice O'Donald and pleaded guilty. He was fined bv the Justice $5 and costs. amountine in all to about $28. When, Evans had settled his case, he had Hois ingion arrested on the same charge. The latter also pleaded guilty and was fined 5 and costs, amounting to $18, which he paid. of extending the tree mail delivery ser vice to Salem is favorable, and in all res pects complete, they know ot no reason why this service should not be inaugur ated there about the 1st of July. In many reports received the cities apply ing for this service are found to be with out some one or more of the requisites other than the population laid down by the postal authorities to entitle them to free delivery." When it lsknown that it is the policy ol this most conservative administration to establish the free delivero system in cit ies which fulhll the requirements of the poBtofnce department, and to discourage the use of boxes, and when it is known that the postoffice officials rarely commit themselves on any subject, unless their mind in regard to that subject is fully made up, the above may be regarded as almost certainly the intention of the de partment to establish the free delivery system here, there is hardly a resi dent of Salem who will not hear this news with satisfaction, and who will not look upon the innovation with great fav or. The efforts of Gen. Odell and others toward securing the establishment of the system are strongly commended by the people ot this city. In all probability three carriers will be put on the route, possibly only two. In the event that three are appointed, one will be of the second class, and two of the third; if only two, one will be of the sec ond class and one of the third. The classes" have reference to salary. Al ready a number of applications for ap pointment as carrier have been hied with the postmaster, some of them with long petitions. The postmaster has the power to appoint, subject to the approval of the postmaster general. Of course no action will be taken by Gen. Odell until he has received official notification of the 8tal dishment of the free delivery office. Eleven mail boxes will be placed in various parts of the city, from which the carriers are expected to collect the mail, turee or four times a day. lhe letters and papers will be distributed after the arrival of each mail, including the even ing tram. More mail boxes will be es tablished as it is seen the city needs them. Salem can congratulate herself upon the definite prospect of the establishment of a system in vogue only in go-ahead cities. Brought to Limerick. The States man had a subscriber at East Portland who owed $19.50 for subscription to the Weekly. He was respectfully reminded of the fact of his delinquency, and asked to remit. He did not respond until An Interesting' and Brilliant Social Event of San Francisco A Salem Girl. The family of V.

Miss Bertba Levy, to The account was put into the hands of Col. S. R. Harrington, who represented Multnomah county in the last legislature, ! with power to sue, and suit was brought at once. The refractory subscriber was brought to "limerick," and he paid the full amount of his bill, together with the costs of the action. Had this effort to bring the wayward brother to time failed, he would have been arrested on the charge of larceny, and allowed to de fend himself before the proper authori ties of the United States. It is a crime to take. papers from the postoffice, and then refuse to pay for them. This paper will not be forced upon any one, and it will go a good way to get what is due it. If a man is not able to pay. and does not deny his bill, that is another question. Released. On Monday, one John Kelly, of this city, who was under bonds upon a charge of perjury, in the U. S. circuit court, was delivered up by his bondsmen. Kelly was taken down to Portland yesterday morning, by Deputy U. 8. Marshal Harbord. About two years ag3 Kelly was held to answer fot perjury, a man known as " One-eyed Riley," who was on trial for selling liquor to Indians, having charged him with testifying false ly in the case. This was during District Attorney Watson's term. In the official documents turned over to District Attor ney McArthur, there was nothing con cerning Kelly, and it is supposed the papers in his case dropped on the floor during the shuttle. Upon motion of Mr. McArthur, Judge Deady ordered the prisoner to be released on his own re cognizance. New Appointments. The board of sr.amp land commissioners at its last meeting appointed a number of new at torneys for the board, as follows : G. W Wright, Morrow county ; a. Killm, Mult nomah county; Thos. Fitzgerald, Uma tilla county; J. W. Hamilton, Douglas county ; J. W. Hamaker, Klamath coun ty. The gentlemen who have in the past officiated in the capacity as attor neys for the board, and who are displaced by these new appointments, are as fol lows: W.K. tills, Morrow county; O. . Paxton, Multnomah county; J. J. Bal- leray, Umatilla county ; W. R. Willis, Douglas county. The attorneyship in Klamath countv is a new one. Bids kok Kuuveyinu. James Rayley J. C. Arnold and J. A. Howard returned from Portland on this morning'B train, Bays the East Oregonian. They submit ted bids to Surveyor General Taylor for the survey of the' Umatilla reservation. In all there were twenty-nine bids sub mitted, ranging from $4,000 to $10,000. The lowest bid was made jointly bv Cur ran it Nowland, of Cottage Grove, and probably will be thrown out on account of there being a rule of the department against joint bids. The next lowest bid is that of Alonzo Gesner, of Salem, of $5,100, who will undoubtedly re ceive the contract. Horse Sold. W. D. Claggett, of this city, has sold to E. Bley, of the Palouse country, Washington territory, his hne three-quarter Clydesdale stallion, 'Clyde." Tins horse win oe mree years old on July 1st next.

He was sired by Sir Stafford, an imiMirted Clvdesdsle. He is a hne horse of lame size, and well proportioned. The price paid was $500 cash, and this is con sidered cheap by horsemen. A Dangerous Feat. Yesterday a lad der was stood up against the flag pole on top of the state house, with the intention of sending a man up to the top of the noln to ulace the halliards, which were broken a short time ago, in the pulley. The day was so windy and stormy, however, that the undertaking was given up. To day, if the weather is propitious, Bert Hatch will climb the pole, and place the halliards in their proper position. The feat was accomplished once before by him, and he has the grit to do it again A Rumpus. Two menebers of the Nel lie Boyd troupe got into a row yesterday morning, at the depot, just before leaving for Portland. One stove the other up agiinst the building and proceeded to polish him off in good style. He knocked the bark off of his eye and stopped his wind for a while, but no serious damage was done. After the train arrived and the company had got on board, the row was continued, but was stopjied before any serious results ensued. Called. J. P. Eagon, of Hubbard, was in town yeBterday, and paid his re spects to the Statesman. A Sensible Change. The managers of the O. & C. R.

When the steamboat City of Salem landed at her wharf, last night, about 9 o'clock, she was boarded bv Deputy U. S. Marshal E. D. Curtis and libeled upon papers issued out of the U. S. circuit court. The captain or own ers were ordered to appear in the U. S. court at Portland on the 4th of April, Just what was the immediate cauxe of the libel could not be learned, but it is a continuation of the trouble between the Capitol Flouring Mills company and Wm. Keid, who are joint owners 01 me boat. Reid has been running the boat his own account in the interests of the Portland and Willamette valley nar row cauire railway company, and it the object of the parties who insti gated the seizure of the boat, the Salem steamboat company, to prevent him from s fcnning the boat aad converting the profflb to his own use. Mr. Keid will be notified of the seizure or the ooat to-dav, and he will decide what to do m the premises. He probably will give bonds, and secure her temporary release Unless a satisfactory adjustment of the trouble is made, the boat will lie sold to the highest bidder. V. L. Green was placed in charge of dhe boat by. Deputy Curtis. Articles Filed. Articles have been filed in the office of the secretary of state incorporating the Sell wood and Vancou ver Railway company ; capital stock $400,000; place of business, Portland incorporators. T. A. Wood, J. C. More land, and J. V. Cress. The principal biect of this incorporation is to build and eauiu a railroad from Sellwood, in Clackamas county, through fcast Port land, to a point on the Columbia opposite Vancouver: also, to take contracts lor furnishing electric lights in Milwaukie East Portland, and Album ; besides other powers. of the New Foot Bridge. A new foot bridgi has been put up on Winter street, over the creek north of the tract of ouilding lots offered bv Hendricks & Saubert real estate auents. A wagon bridge will Hoon lie built. The lots are now easy of access, and they will bear inspection. A Comparison. As the country grow and more legislation is needed, or thougl to he needed, expenses of holding the legislative sessions increase. This last session cost somewhere near $41,000, while the session of two years ago cost $34,000. Saunders Brought Back. Deputy Sheriff Potter yesterday morning returned from Albany with Capt. W. Wirt Saun ders, and placed him in his cell here. Saunders is highly gratified over the hange of venue which he secured, and is now satisfied that he will secure a fair trial, and that the result will be acquittal for him. lhe people ot Albany are indig nant that a change of venue was grant ed, and that the additional cost of the trial will have to be paid bv them. The talk of lynching Saunders, indulged in by a few bummers of Albany, was ridicu lous, and the fears of the officers of Linn county that the jail would be mobbed were evidently groundless. Assault and Battery. Tuesday even ing Mac Reynolds and Al. Hornbuckle, and yesterday W. M. Rcndle, living near Swarts's mill, were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Croisan, charged with assault on Abel Goulding. The hrst two were up before Justice Payne yesterday morning, when Reynolds pleaded guilty, and was fined $5 and costs amounting in all to $21.00. Hornbuckle was tried in the afternoon and discharged. Randle was arraigned in the afternoon, and he pleaded guilty, and was fined $5 and costs. Reynolds and Ran die will he in jail for the next ten days, in default of payment ol hues.

The bride has countless friends in Salem, and other parts of Oregon, who will read the follow ing account of the event, taken from the San Francisco Daily Examiner, with in terest : The marriage of Miss Berthe Levy, niece of K. Raas, the well-known mer chant, and Mose Wolff, a prominent mer chant of Hueneme, Ventura county, took place in the presence of a large gather ing of friends and relatives in Saratoga Hall on Geary street, near Larkin, last night. Never before has the hall and all its complete apartments looked so well. The Messrs. Schleicher spared no pains in the ornamentation, and the result was that the decorations were most beautiful. From the sidewalk, up the broad stair case, through the halls upstairs and down, the parlors, reception and dressing rooms snowy canvass was laid. The hall ways were lined with huge stands of tropical palms and glossy-leaved cac ti. The guests, on arriving, were usher ed down this broad avenue of tropical luxuriance and found themselves, after ridding themselves of hats .and wraps, in the spacious double parlors, in one of which the ceremony took place. The rooms were profusely decorated with pols and stands of nearly every conceivable exotic and hothouse production, placed" about the apartments, in the window re cesses and alcoves. The chandeliers were covered with sprays of maiden's hair ferns, which was festooned from one to the other. A delicate tracery of smil- ax, dotted here ana mere wun ine sweet- . est scented of flowers, adorned the wains coting. The great mirror at the head of the room was banked with an endless variety of hothouse plants and flowers. Directly in front ot it and between it and the folding doors was suspended the beautiful marriage bell of heliotrope, jes samine, tube roses, camellias, tea buds and maiden's hair. Upstairs in the ball room the decorations were as elaborate and beautiful. Shortly before 9 o'clock the Rev. D. Vbreanger of Temple Emana El took up his station beneath the marriage bell. The orchestra, stationed in the hall, then begun the rendition of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March." As the melodious notes swelled forth in all their grandeur, and the hundred of brilliant lights twinkled gayly, the wedding party entered the par lors "and proceeded to greet the reverend doctor. First came little Miss Alice Raas and Miss Levy, sister of the bride; then little Miss Renee Roth and another little Bister of the bride, and little Miss Roth and Miss Mamie Raas. The bride leaning n the arm of her father, came next and then the groom escorting the bride's mother. Following them was Mrs. Daniel Roth escorted by Mr. E. Raas, and Mrs. Raas and Mr. Roth. Next came Miss Palmyre Levy, sister of the bride, and Mr. Joseph Loewe ; Miss Nettie Loewe and Mr. Charles Blum, and Miss Florence Blum and Mr. Abe Blum. After the impressive ceremony of the Jewish faith had been consummated, con gratulations followed and the good wishes of friends and relatives poured in upon the happy couple.

The cancer was grow ing near the left eye, and would in time have destroyed the sight 01 one eye. vo- coaine was applied, and the operation made as painless as possible. Mr. jKer will soon recover from the ettects 01 tne operation. More Real Estate. Among the new bargains which Hendricks & Saubert, real estate agents, offer, is the Dan Clark place. This is one of the finest farms in Marion county, and very cheap at $8,000, the price at w hich it is ottered. It would not tie offered at any bucIi price, except that the u Hairs of the estate must be settled up. Pleasant Surprise. The W. C. T.
