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-

I navmttit of the current expenses o: she

THE SCHOOL ELECTI05.
John 6. TVriirht Elected Director and

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.
The steamer left Baltimore on January
15th. The other new steamer is called
the Eastern Oregon. She is of 883 tons
burden and has cabin room tor seventy
persons. 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.

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. Bley, of the Paloose

FRuM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY.
Neat Pacmra Estabusux nrr. A re
porter, yesterday, accepted aa 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
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. Pennoyer has
during the past week made the following
appointments of notaries public: W. G.

Another UisroRTCJf ate. Mrs. 81 om a
R rower was yesterday examined by Doc
tors Carpenter and Rom land before Judge
Shaw, as to her mental condition, and
was by them declared to be insane. Mrs.
Brower is 6S years old and old age and
general debility have thrown her off her
mental balance. Mie was taken to tne
asvlam in the afternoon.

THE FREE DELIVERY.
The
System will be Establisked in
Salem en the 1st dav of
Jaly 1877.
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.
