COLUMBIA RIVER, IMPO'T. COMMITTEE.
The Columbia river improvement
committee will probably have its report
ready to submit to the assembly by
Wednesday. The report will be quite
lengthy, and the committee will probably
suggest that the assembly memorialize
congress to make appropiations for tbe
erection of a steamboat railway, or canal
around The Dalles of the Colombia and
(or the early .completion of the work at
the Cascades. The committee will not
recommend any appropriations by the
state of Oregon for this purpose now.
GRAY'S PICNIC PARTY.
Senator J. If. D. Gray and his party of
invited guests returned from Astoria yes
terday. The gentlemen of the assembly
who accompanied Gray very likely
learned mneh of interest regarding tbe

Gray has succeeded in getting all bills
bearing on them matters referred to the
t special joint committee on fishing, lie
eems to think he will succeed in secur
ing some usu'ul legislation in the inter

new prosecuting attorney ior me auvu
district.
INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
The Daily Oregonian having made
some charges arainat the chairman of
one of the house committees, recently,
charging him with having made Indecent
proposals to a female applicant for a
clerkship, a resolution was introduced by
Mr. McLean, of Klamath and Lake, on
Thursday, providing for a committee to
investigate the matter. Tbe resolution
failed to be adopted at tbe time; but
yesterday Mr. Gnbeer, of Washington
county, introduced another resolution
reciting the charges, which had been re
iterated by the Oregonian in the mean
time, and" referring the matter to the
committee and judiciary for investiga
tkm. The matter created considerable
discussion, and Benjamin, of Douglas,
moved a snbrtitute calling on the corres
pondent of the Oreeonian to giro his
uthoritv for the charges. . However,
Mr. Benjamin's substitute failed to pass,
and Guhser'a resolution was adopted
ith a few negative votes. The com
mittee will begin the investigation to
morrow night. The committee consists

SIMMER' MILITIA BILL.
The committee on military affairs has
under consideration' Summers bill for
the organisation and discipline of the
militia of Oregon, and will have it ready
to report back to the house in a few days.
The report will h favorable to the bill,
and will nrobablv on into the merits of
the act a little. There seems to be a very
favorahU fMHnr in tvrfh houses toward
bill, and there is every likelihood
that the bill will naiM without material
opposition' The fact that, in order for
the state of Oregon to derive any benefits
whatever under the law recently passed
by congress, it will be necessary for the
ale to pass a law, with the reqoire-
menu of the Summers', bill; and that
the Summers' bill, when the appropria
tion made by the general government is
considered. maka the expense to the
ttate for the adooort of tbe state militia
less than it ia nnbr tha present law : and
l1 some etringent military regulations
necessary for the government of the
militia of the state, and to lender it fit for
aerrice whAn mad apparent to the leg
islators. it will tw m-i!l rrtainlv pass
lhe bill without material opposition. The J
bill abolishes) two out of three of the pre s
ent brigadiers general, and the office of
major general, making one brigade out of
the entire state. It creates the office of
adjutant general of the state, and pro
vides Jor an annual master and encamp
ment of all the organized militia of the
state. . This is a necesaary provision un
der the Blocnm bill which passed con
gress. It provides for uniforming and
equipping all the organized militia, not
to exceed, in times of peace, thirty com
panies of infantry, two truer of cavalry.
and one battery of light artillerv. The
hill is brief, yet it is apparently thor
ough, and was examined and approved
by the present board of officers of the
first regiment at Portland.

commission on assessment and taxation,
that met in the capitol last summer, was
up for consideration in the committee of
the whole bouse vesterdav ; but the com
mittee decided that the bill was not in
tended to raise revenue, so it was not
considered, but referred to the com mittee
on assessment and taxation. Tbe chanc
es for the passage of this bill are not cen-
sidered very good, as there is a very
strong opposition to it from the . farming
representatives.

Mr. Daly of Polk introduced a resolu
tion yesterday calling on the secretary of
state for Uie amendments to the consti
tution passed at the session of 1885, and
they will be sent to the boose txlav
One is the prohibitory amendment, one
is the amendment proposing to change
the time of holding of general elections
to November, and the other is to allow
the legislative assembly to fix the sal
aries of tbe state officers. It is thought
the amendments will be submitted to the
people without objection. However.
there is no likelihood of their being sub
mitted at a special election, as some of
tbe more radical "proms" desire.
Opt ths Track. As tbe northbound
train was speeding along yesterday morn
ing this side of Oakland, in southern Or
egon, the rails spread and the engine
went off tbe track between them, jarring
everything up considerably, bat doing no
damage, except to the feelings of the pas
sengers. As a consequence of the acci
dent, the train did not arrive in this city
until 12 o'clock last night. At 4 o'clock
yesterday, a special train for Portland
left here carrying passengers and baggage.
nu ww me grange afore, on ciate
street. The societies have had a heavy
rent to pay during the past three years,
whicn has been a continual draw on
ftheir treasury. Arrangements have
been made whereby the new hall will be '
obtained for a more moderate consider-'
tion. A renewed interest has of late:
been taken in the affairs of both socio- j
ties, and they now flourish with their
pristine vigor. Tbe new hall will be oc
cupied for the first time on next Friday
night, at which time tbe joint meeting of
tbe societies occurs. An interesting
programme has been prepared for tbe
occasion.
ScrERxxTxxDEST's RxpoRT. The bien
nial report of tbe superintendent of tbe
penitentiary is in the hands of the gov
ernor, from tbe report it appears that
the total appropriation for the support of
the penitentiary for that time was $58,
420, and the total expenditure was $57,-
172.26, leaving a balance unexpended of
$1,247.74. Tbe eash earnings for the two
years were $39,063.82. The labor sup
plied tbe public building commissioners
amounts to 12,260 davs ; 4,000,000 bricks
have been made. The number of con
victs has decreased from 176 received in
1883 to 113 received in 18S4. The num
ber of convicts in prison is 272.
Axother Overlakd Rocte. The Se
attle, Lake Shore, & Eastern Railroad
company have placed surveyors in the
field, for a road from Seattle, through
Snoqualmie pass, to Spokane Falls, with '
the intention ultimately of pushing on
through the Clearwater country to the
East. At a meeting of the city council
in Seattle Friday night the right of way
along the city front was granted to this
company. This action was immediately
made known to the capitalists at the
bead of the company, and. in answer, a
telegram was sent to General Superin
tendent Sheafe in Seattle to let out the
contracts of the road in different sec
tions, forty miles to be completed in six
months.
Heavy Raixpaix. Sunday, tbe Wil
lamette valley as far south as Eugene
was visited by tbe heaviest rainstorm of
the season. It began about 2 a. m., and
pound down heavily and almost contin
uously till noon, when the wind chopped
from south to west and the rain was not
so incessant. The amount of rainfall
here for the twenty-four boars ending at
7 o'clock p. m. Sunday was 2.65 inches.
This amount has seldom been equaled.
The rain fall for this month is 7.75 inch
es. The country between this city and
Turner is covered with water. Track
walkers went along the railroad track
before the early morning train to see that
the track was all right. So far trains
have not been delayed.
At the Bridue. The late rains have
caused the river to boom. Eighteen feet
above lo water mark was yesterday
registered at tbe bridge, and the river
still rising slowly. It is not probable,
however, that the rise will be much
higher. - Sunday the anchors of the bul
wark on this side of the river gave
way about a foot, tbe bulwark
moving towards the river that distance.
It will be necessary to put tn new anchors
about twenty feet further back from the
bulwark. A large amount of drift is run
ning, and as the current swings around
toward this side of the river, a terrible
strain is brought to bear upon tie bul
wark. There is no danger that it will
give away.
A REGCLAR "MCLTI'M-Uf-PARVO." At
Winlock, a station on the Northern Pa
cific, between this city and the Sound,
there resides a man of many and varied
occupations. Upon bis building, a small
one-story affair, the following signs may
be read: "Meat Market," "Real Es
tate," "Notary Public," "Shoe Shop,"
"Home Mutual Insurance," "Lunch
Counter," "City lieUurant," "Dry
Goods and Groceries," "Country Produce
Taken in Exchange." and ''Highest
Market Price Paid for Hides."
A Novel Certificate. Yesterday,
County Clerk Chapman and assistants
were engaged in looking over the papers
which had been filed in the office during
the past several years, and in the course
of their search the following certificate
was found : ' Febuary 12 1879 this is to
surtfy that I Mary English is willen for
Nancy English to git marid I being hir
Mother. Mary English." Nancy and
her ma evidently wanted to he prepared

Thr Frxr Dzxtvert.1 PocUl Inspector
George lUson, cf Portland, Vaa in the
city yesterday, looking into the matter of
the free delivery for Salem. Sir. Mason
was taken around the city and shown
what would be ateveaaary to be done in
order to institute the mttem. One thing
that was required for him to do w4 to
find out tne sentiment of tbe ianabitama
in regard to the question, and accordingly
be asked a great many their opinion in
regard to the matter. Out ' of a large
number only three were found who did
not express themselves wholly in favor of
it. And these three did not object to it,
but "did not think it awceseary.'' It is
understood that Mr. Mason will make a
recommendation to the postmaster gene
ral in favor of the free delivery. He ex
pressed himseli very much pleased with
the city and its inhabitants, and goes to
Portland to-day well pleased with the
treatment he received here. In case the
free delivery system is established here
(which is almost certain), there will be
about eleven boxes distributed through-
oat the eity for the deposit of mail, which
will be taken op at stated intervals by
tbe carriers. There will not be more
than two carriers, one probably ai S53
per annum, and the other at fOOO.
Death op George Hott. Sunday
night H. L. HoyV of Portland, received a
telegram from Paraiso springs, Cal., an
nouncing the death of bis eldest son.
Geo. M.IIoyt, at S o'clock on that after
noon. The cause was hemorrhage of the
lungs. His death was unexpected, hence
was a great knock to his family, i oung
lloyt, who had been complaining of lung
trouble, left Portland on the 5th Inst, for
tbe springs, and his letters home did not
indicate that his condition was worse.
The deceased was born and reared in
Portland and his character was aoove re
proach. He was very popular with his
associates, and his death will occasion
deep regret among them. He was a
graduate of the high school of Portland,
and of the state nm versify. His brother,
Ralph W. Hoyt, has left for California to
bring the body home, and return by the
steamer sailing next Friday.
The Postal Telegraph Co. A gang
of workmen belonging to the Postal Tele
graph company are engaged in putting
in the posts of the new line, and the
posts have been placed in position on
State street down as far as Commercial.
From wires will be strung. The Posts
are very substantial, being about thirty
feet high, and proportionately thick. It
is understood that the agents of the com-
Kny in to is city will be Uubert Bros
e company chums that it will have ex
traordinary facilities for the transmission
of messages and news, and that 60,000
miles of telegraph line all over the world
will be in its service. Tbe lines through
the northwest are not up yet, but they
will be soon. None of the offices on this
coast will be opened op to the public un
til everything is in readiness for busi
ness, and that will probably be two
months hence.
The Water Committee. Last night's
train brought to this city the Portland
water committee of fifteen, which was
appointed by Gov. Moody in accordance
with an act of the last legislature, to set
tle tbe vexed water question in Portland.
It is composed of T. A. Davis, Sol. Hirscn,
C. A. lYescott, C. A. Dolph, F. K. Arn
old, P. P. Shelby, .C. II. Meosdorffer,
G. W. Merrill, Geo. Woodward, II. W.
Corbett, M. Koshland, J. McCraken,
kd.. McKee, John Lewis, and Wm. VN ad
hams. They came to urge upon the
legislature the passage of tbe Portland
charter bill, allowing the city to issue
bonds for 1500,000, to bring the water
from a stream called Bull Run, to Port
land. Captvked. One week ago Saturday,
two students of the Indian school at
Chemawa disappeared, and started for
the habitations of their fathers in east
ern Oregon. Their names were Orson
Samuel and Homer Condit. The run
aways went down the railroad track un
til they reached East Portland, and then
remained in the woods about that place
for four days. They then continued
their travels until they reached Hood
river, where they were captured by offi
cers of the school. There are two more
of the boys who escaped some time ago,
but their whereabouts are known and
they will be brought back soon.
At its Highest. Tbe river was still
rising slowly at yesterday noon, being
over 18 feet above low water mark, but
it is now about on a stand still falling.
if anything. There was an item in yes
terday morning's paper saying that the
steamer, City of Salem came np and was
unable to get under the bridge; there
fore it turned around and started for
Portland again. The fact is, the captain
did not try to go under. If he had, be
