TIIK O HK3QN STATESMAN': FKIJJAY MARCH 1. 1887. FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY. Thc Board or Iiajo.unox. Satur day afternoon a meeting of the citizen of Portland was held at the reoma of the board to devise some means of con tinn ing the work. The chairman, C. II. Dodd, stated that despite the fact that the state had refused to appropriate funds to carry on the work, the board was still legally organized. There was no duration fixed for the terms ef the members uf the board. The board was perpetual, and coald go ahead with the work in bond. The state save the board two years ago $10,000. The board has returned for that ram $4,000,000 which was brought into the state by immi grants. J oat what portion of this amount the board had been instrumental in bringing into tlie state no one coald ray, bat it had done its share. It was safe to nay that 25,000 immigrants bad been ad ' del to the population of the state through the agency of the board. The expenses of the board coald be red ace d to $250 per month and the work carried on effective ly. The chairman was authorized to ap point a committee of one from each coon ty and five from Portland, to solicit subscriptions to carry on the state board. The chair announced that he would make the appointments in a few days. Within five minutes after the meeting adjourned $1000 was subscribed; so it is safe to predict that enough money will be sub scribed in Portland to maintain the or ganization. Jumped the Country. Yesterday morning, when the case of State of Ore gon vs. John Baker was called in the court of Justice Bleakney at Turner, it was found that the prosecuting witness, George Wilson, was not present, and it was impossible for the examination to proceed ; so Baker was discharged by the justice. Wilson Wtent south on Saturday ; night's train, and it is hardly probable that be will show up around Turner again : very soon. He left either because he feared that his life was in danger, or be cause be was afraid he might be held for the seduction of Ilattie Baker. Proba bly both. Sentiment against Wilson was highly stirred up among the good -eeple of Turner, who consider, that he has done a meet villainous act n ruining Miss Baker under promise of 'marriage, and betraying the confidence she and her family reposed in him arid his promises. The Bakers are among the most resjiectable of the people of that section of the country, and the blow is a terrible one for them. It is no wonder that the sons attempted to wreak sum mary vengeance upon the destroyer of the family's iea-e and the daughter's reputation. Relic Social. The entertainment at the Christian church to-night promises to be one of the most interesting occa sions and festivals ever presented to the public bv the literary society of this church. It is too great an undertaking to enumerate the verv many attractive and historical relic and curiosities that have been secured and accumulated by the executive committee and that will ap pear on exhibition, but it is sufficient to state that the collection will embrace tnanv riirioH and relics of past historv of this country, relics from Bible lands; also curiosities from Japan and other portions of the Orient; also an interesting collec tion of rude weapons of warfare from Alaska; reli- of the early pioneers, and pioneer da v of Oregon. In connection with this department will be presented rpecimens of the handiwork and skill of . the pupils in the institute for the blind. This department will prove especially at tractive. There will be present and as mt on this occasion some of the best mimical and recitative talent in this city and vicinity. The admission has been j fixed at the very low price of twenty-five cento for adults and ten cents. lor eriii- dren. the receipa to le applied to the I navmttit of the current expenses o: she i church.

A strong effert will be mil hv Kaiinrlpra' attorneys to secure a change of venue to this county, and there is some likelihood that they win succeeu.

THE SCHOOL ELECTI05. John 6. TVriirht Elected Director and David Simpson Qerk of District So. 24. little interest was manifested in the election of school director and clerk yes terday, a very light vote being polled. A novel feature of the election was the can didacy of Mr. Amelia E. Miller for di rector. Some work was done for her by friends, but she succeeded in securing only one third of the total number of votes 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 Mrs. aimers opposition. mere were 403 votes cast in all. of which three were rejected as being ille gal. The following is the vote : FOB DIRECTOR. John (1. Wright.. 269. 131. Amelia E. Miller,. FOB CLERK. David Simpson, 392. Scattering, 8. John (J. Wright and David Simpson are therefore elected to succeed titem- 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 polled. At that time there was some thing of a contest over both the offices of director and clerk, and 632 votes were cast against 403 this year. The lodges were Geo. H. Burnett. J. M. Pame. and J. II. McCormack, and the clerks D. L. Green and Geo. Watt. Memorial. Exercises. A large num ber of the members oi the A. O. U. W. and others assembled in the M. E. church Sunday evening, filling the large auditorium, the occasion being the me morial exercises in memory of rather Upchnrch. founder of the order. The following programme was carried out: Organ voluntary : prayer by Rev. M. C. Wire; opening ode, led by Dr. C. II. Hall ; scripture lesson or Irof. Htarr: anthem hy the choir ; memorial adtlress by Rev. M. C Wire ; music by the choir : eulogy by Prof. Starr; music by tke choir j closing ode; benediction. The exercises were very appropriate, Rev. M. i. v ire oeHvenng an impressive memo rial address, and Prof. Starr a fitting eu logy upon Father Upchnrch. The New Steamers. One of the two new steamers recently purchased by the Oregon Development company to ply be tween this city and Yaquina bay, will be due at this port about April 1st. The name of this steamer is the Willamette Valley. She is an iron screw vessel of 620 tons net, and capable of attaining a twelve-knot speed. Her cabin bas ac commodations for eighty passengers.

She bas twin screws and can steam thirteen knots an hoor with ease. She is expected here by May 1st, having left Baltimore on the 15th ult. S. h. Chronicle. Or Short Dcbatiow. The period da ring which the locks at Oregon City were cKised daring the late high water proved of short duration. Only a few days since the gates were closed owing to the high water, rhursday morning the wa ter stood one inch over the top of the gate; but when the steamer Occident came along in the forenoon the river had receded so that the gate could be open ed. The steamer passed through, but it was by a scratch. No further trouble will be experienced at the locks as the waXtr m constantly falling. The river va yvfterday, at noon, 11.1 above low Waiter uurk. Bios kok Si: rveyino. James Rayley, J. C. Arnold and J. A. Howard returned from Portland on this morning's train, says the East Oreiinian. They submit ted bids to Survevor General Taylor for the survev of the Umatilla reservation. In all there were twenty-nine bids sub- mSltofll ranirincr from $4.t)00 to $10,000. The lowest bid wa- made jointly bv Cur ran A 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 oi Alonzo ener, oi naiem, w 15.100. who will undoubtedly re ceive the contract. Horse Sold. W. D. Clagv'ett, of this citr. has sold to E.

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 ana refitting his office. He now has one of the neatest and beat-arranged printing establishments in the State, and, among other improvements, has thrown out all nis former book type, and refurnished with new material of the beautiful John son series, together with large quantities of new kb tvpe. so that, with the fine facilities and convenient arrangement of his office, be is far better prepared than before to do every thine in his line promptly and in every way satisfactorily to bis customers. His new iob type in cludes all the latest styles, with borders and fancy ornaments of various kinds. Mr. Waite has the " posh " and energy which win success, and he deserves the iberal patronage be has always received. His stock of lesal blanks is the lanrest in the State, and he spares no effort to keep all the forms in accordance with the law, and in all essential particulars reliable for general use. He cordially invites his friends and the public to call and the improvements he has made in his office, and his increased facilities for printing of all kinds. 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 be thought that the work accomplished by him had not been commensurate with his expectations, and he thought he ought to move to some other field, where he could work more effectually. The mem bers of the church knew that this was no fault of Mr. Rugg's, and conscious of his merit as a Christian pastor and his abili ity as a preacher, they were especially anxious to retain him. The other day Mr. Rugg received a call from the Bap tist church of East Portland, and it is un derstood that he is undetermined about accepting it. It is to be hoped that Mr. Kugg will decide to remain here in b- lem. iiis congregation and menu would sincerely regret bis depaiture. BcsiXEss Chaxue. J. D. McCuIly has bought out the interest of A. B. I'roa man in the clothing store in this city, and Mr. Croasman will open a store in Portland on or shortly after the "first of April. His store will be at 111 First street, formerly occupied by Joaes Bros. It is between S. Lipman's and Kggert, Young & Co.'s. Mr. Croasman will carry there gent' a furnishing goods and hats exclusively. He has hired to take position in his store Johnny Coffey, now working for the Western L nion telegraph company in that city. Al's many fnends in this city will be son to see him leave us, and they sin cerely bope that he will do well in the metropolis, lie is a first-class business man, and has plenty of means to carry a splendid stock. Both Pleaded Gcilty. Yesterday morning D. M. Evans, living about four miles east of this 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 Kvans and Hoisington got into a difficulty about some horses, which re sulted in a fight, Hoisington coming out worsted. Kvans was taken before Jus tice O' Donald and pleaded guilty. He was fined bv the Justice $5 and costs. amounting in all to about $28. When. E.vanB had settled his case, he had llois- ingion arrested on the same charge. Hie latter also pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs, amounting to $18, which he paid. A Sknmble Change. -The managers of the O. & C. R. R. have made a iange in the running divisions of the road that is wise and timely. Formerly the run ning division for the passenger trains was from Portland to Roseburg, with three engineers, with a lay off every third day. They have now divided into two divis ions, and put on lour engineers, running from Portland to Junction and from Junction to Roseburg. Appoint ekts. Gov.

It is almost certain that the free deliv ery system will be established in Salem, as is indicated by the following special dispatch in yesterday's Oregon Ian : "Officials in the postoffice department state that as the report of the inspector detailed to examine into the advisability of extending the free mail delivery ser vice to Salem is favorable, and in all res pects complete, they know of 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 is known that it is the policy of this most conservative administration to establish the free delivero system in cit ies which fulfill the requirements of the postoffice 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 aa 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. Ode 11 and others toward securing the establishment of the system are strongly com mended by the people of this city. In alj 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 filed 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 bas received official notification of the stiiblishment 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, a. m a. MM . . iiiree or ieur umes a aav. ine tetters and papers will be distributed after the arrival of each mail, including the even ing train. 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. Boat Libeled. When the steamboat City of Salem landed at her wharf, last night, about 9 o'clock, she was boarded bv Deoutv U. S. Marshal E. D. Curtis and libeled upon papers issued out of the U. n. circuit court, ibe 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 cause of the libel could not be learned, but it is a continuation of the trouble between the Capitol Flouring Mills company and Wm. Reid, who are joint owners of the boat. Reid has been running the boat on his own account in the interests of tbe l'ortland and Willamette valley nar row gauge railway company, and it is the object of the parties who insti gated the seizure of the boat, tbe Salem steamboat company, to prevent him from se finning the boat aad converting the protB to his own nse. Mr. Reid will be notified of the seizure of the boat to-day, and be will decide what to do in the premises. He probably will give bonds, and secure her temporary release. Unless a satisfactory adiustment of the trouble is made, the boat will he old to the highest bidder. D. L. Green was placed in charge of Rie boat by Ifeputy Curtis. Articles Filed. Articles bare been filed in the office of lite 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. W. Cress. The principal object of this incorporation is to build and equip a railroaa from Sell wood, in Clackamas county, through East Port land, to a point on thi Colombia opposite Vancouver; also, to take contracts for furnishing electric ligtits in Milwaukie, fc-ast Portland, and Albina; besides other powers. Good Showing. The condition of the Capital National bank, as shown by tbe statement pnblished in another column, is creditable, both to the management of that institution skid to the prosperity of the citv. The Capital National has now been in business for about fifteeen months, and their business shows a steady increase, which is an indication of the growth of the city as well as of the popularity of the bank. Casceb Removed. Dr. H. Carjnter, dinted by I)r. Wade, yesterday re moved a cancer from the face of Harrison Baker, of Turner. Tne cancer was trow ing near the left eye, and would in time have destroyed the sight of one eye. Co- coaine was applied, and the operation made as painless as possible. Mr. Baker will soon recover from the effects of the operation. Mobb Keal Jstatb. Among tbe new bargains which Hendncks A- Saubert, real estate a areata, offer, is the Dan Clark place. This is one of tbe finest farms in Marion county, and very cheap at $8,000, the price at which it is offered. It would not be onered at any soch price, except that the affairs of the estate must be settled up. Pleaiast Siefbisb. Tbe W. C. T, U. are preparing a new departure for next Wednesday night, literary and mu sical exercises, and a debate by ladies and gentlemen. Also refreshments. Keep a sharp lookout for the programme. A. A. Gexieal. Gov. Pennoyer yes terday commissioned S. White, of Grant's Pass, to be assistant adjutant general on the staff of Brigadier General J. M. Sig lin,of the first bchrade. O. 8. M., with the rank of major. FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY. j Bbocght to Lixebjck. Tbe States - kab had a subscriber at East Portland who owed $19.50 for sntecriptioa to the Weekly. He was respectfully reminded of the fact of his delinquency, and asked to remit. He did not respond until pressed, and then he flatly refused to pay. 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 waa brought to "limerick," and he paid the foil amount of his bill, together with the costs of tne 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- lend nimseii before tne proper autnon ues of tne united states, it is a crime to take, papers from the poetofik'e, and then refuse to Dav for them. This Daoer will not be forced upon any one, and it win go a good way to get what is due it. K 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 bv his bondsmen. Kelly was taken down to Portland yesterday morning, by Deputy U. 8. Marshal Harbord. About two years ago Kelly was held to answer foY perjury, a man known as " One-eyed Rilev," who was on tnai lor selling liquor to Indians. having charged him with testifying false ly in the case. This was during District Attorney Watson s terra. In the official documents turned ever to District Attor ney McArthnr, there was nothing con cerning Kelly, and it is supposed the papers in hia case dropped on the floor durins the shuttle. Upon motion of Mr. McArthnr, Judge Deady ordered the primmer to be released on his own re- i-ogfliZance. New Appoistxeitts. The board of swamp land commissioners at its last meeting appointed a number of new at torneys for the board, as follows : G. W. Wnght, Morrow county; B. Killin, Mult- neroan 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 tbe board, and who are displaced by these new appointments, are as fol lows : W. R. Ellis. Morrow countv : O. F. Paxton, Multnomah county ; J. J. Bal leray. Umatilla county; W. R. Willis, Douglas county. The attorneyship in Klamath county is a new one. S At'KDEBs Brought Bace. Deputy Sheriff Potter yesterday morning returned from Albany with Capt. W. Wirt Saun ders, and placed him in his cell here. Haunders is highly gratified over the change of venue which he secured, and is now sa tinned that he will secure a fair trial, and that the result will be acquittal for him. The people of 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 IJnn county that the jail would be mobbed were evidently groundless. Assault akd Batteby. Tuesday even ing Mac Reynolds and Al. Hornbuckle, and yesterday W. M. Randle, living near Swarts's mill, were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Croisan, charged with assault on Abel Gouldlntr. The first two were ud before Justice Payne yesterday morning, hen Reynolds pleaded guilty, and was fined $5 and coxts 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 cofts. Reynold and Ran- lle will tie in jail for tlie next ten days. in default of payment of fines. Personal. Hon. W. Lair Hill, of Oak land, California, but formerly a resident of The Dalles, is in the city, securing copies of the laws passed at the late ses sion of the legislature, for his new re vised code of Uregon, whicn will appear n a few davs. Mr. Hill's law partner in Oakland is Vm. R. Davis, who was elect ed mayor of that city on Monday, by 761 votes, over Martin, American-party candidate, 1357, and Hayes, democrat, 2009. Mr. Davis is a republican. Mr. Hill will return to Oakland in a few days. The Wheat Market. Wheat was yes terday quoted at 72 cents, a rise ef two cents over last week. The mill company has been shut down for some time, owing to high water, and there is no prospect of its being able to start up again inside of a week or ten days. Tlie supply of feed has almost run out. The river rose a little yesterday, and was 12.6 feet above low-water mark. This warm weather has had the effect of melting a great part of the remaining snow in tbe foothills, and the consequence is a rise in the n wr. Resiokatiox or Rev. Mr. Chambers. The Rev. J. Taylor Chambers, for nearly nine years rector of St. rani's parish, is this city, on the 7th inst., handed to the wardens and vestrymen of said psu-wb, his resignation, to take effect April 15th, Easter week. It is understood Mr. Chambers will return east. The mem bers of the Episcopal church will deeply regret Mr. Chambers' departure, as be is an able minister and an efficient pastor. Sad Accideht. About four o'clock Saturday the three-year-old daughter of Wm. Smith, who lives on Long Tom, about fourteen miles sooth of Corvallis, was fatally burned by her clothes ignit- inc from tbe ore place. Her mooter out at the time and the hired men hear ing the child's screams, ran to the boose and found her bornbiy Domed arxxu tne body and head. She lived until eleven that night, when she expired. Nobthebb Pacotc Delated la Arcs J. M. Bockley, assistant superintendent of tbe Northern rarific, woo was in tne citr yesterday, received a letter from Helena that the road was clear, east and west, through. Two trains left Helena for Portland, the first at 10 -.30 a. m. and tbe second an boor later. The first had 150 emigrants and G5 first-class passen gers, and tbe second nearly as many. Thev v ill come as special from Wallula to Portland, and onght to arrive here Thursday night about 11 o'clock. Ore- gonian. WOLFF-LEVY WEDDIX0. 'An Interesting and Brilliant Social Event of San Salem Franc b-ro A GirL Tbe family of F. Levy of this city re turned home yesterday from San Fran cisco, where they witnessed the wedding of their daughter. Miss Bertha Levy, to Mose Wolff, on March 9. The bride has countless friends in Sulem, and other parts of Oregon, mho will read the follow ing account of the event, taken from the San Francisco Dailv Examiner, with in terest: The marriage of Miss Berthe Ievy, 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, np the broad stair case, through the balls upstairs and down, the parlors, reception and dressing rooms snowy canvaas 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 whicn the ceremony took place. Tlie rooms were profusely decorated with pots and stands of nearly every conceivable exotic and hothouse production, placed about the apartments, in the window re cesses and alcoves. Tlie 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 and there with the 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.
