She is as fine a model of a schooner as ever was seen in the Columbia. A brakemau named named J. C. Young, fell off the Oregon Pacific construction train at Onetta last Sunday morning, the train cutting off both feet at the ankle. TheO.lt. & N. Co figure that they can save $330,000 a year by the proposed .reduction in salaries. Maybe they can, but their first day's experience is not very satisfactory. A strip of laud belonging to tho O. R. fc N. Co. and needed by the government for the completion of the canal at the Cascades, has been condemned by tho D. S. court, the government paying there for $7,484.

A strike of O. R. & N. employes at As toria would seriously inconvenience that benevolent corporation. Their chief action in relation to retrenchment at this end of the line has been a doubling of duties so that more work falls to tho share of each. Mr. "Withers, on whom a critical opera tion for rupture was recently performed, is fullv recovered and now enjoys excel lent health. Drs. Bevan of Portland and Tattle of this city performed tho opera tion, which is said to bo of an nnusnal nature in this section. The new hose team will soon bo or ganized and the idea is to have a thor oughly efficient body of men who will be nrornnt in arriving on the ground. Orio of the alleged qualifications for each member is that ho shall bo five feet twelve inches in height. F. C. Young, of Seattle, well and favor ably known here, is reported seriously embarrassed.

The Fay Templeton opera company will appear at Occidental hall next Mon day evening in the favorite comic opera, "The Mascotte."' The troupe by reason of tho merit and proficiency of its mem bers have won a continuous round of tes timonials wherever they have appeared. Reserved seats at the New York Novelty store. Last Friday 180 Indians arrived in Ta coma and passed up the Puyallup river to E. Meekers & Co.'s hop yard near Puy allup, to pick hops for that firm for the season. These were all from British Co lombia, about 103 mile3 from beyond Fort Simpson and nearly 1,000 miles dis tant. The same firm will require over 400 pickers to secure their crop, which they estimate at over 300,003 pounds. A large audience assembled at tho Roman Catholic church in this city last Sunday evening to hear Rev. J. M. Bou chard, of San Francisco, on tho church and its head. The reverend gentleman is an orator of pleasing presence and has a clear, strong voice which filled the church. Ho was perfectly conversant with his subject, traced the history and organization of the church, spoke of its unity, the character of its visiblo head, articles of faith, infallibility, etc., and held the unflagging interest of his large audience to tho close. His peroration was an eloquent ono and worthy of the theme he discussed. At the close the choir gave a splendid rendition of ''Ave Pnrismma." Father Bouchard goes to Portland to-morrow. There was a f nnny sight presented yes terday at Portland when the Queen was ready to start from Portland. The deck hands had all quit Sunday night, but tho mate had succeeded in getting three men to come down, he stowing them away for the morning. When the force came down yesterday morning they wouldn't let tho others work, and no one but the deck boy was left to help the mate handle lines, freight, etc. In the cabin a Chinaman for cook and one boy made a dismal at tempt at getting up a meal. How long the striking employes can hold out is the qnestion. While it doubtless would have been fair to reduce the wages of some of the employes who were getting big sal aries, if the diminished revenues of the company required it, yet it doe3 not seem just to make such a sweeping reduction as "has been made. This is the second time a reduction has been made, and the natural result will be to drive good com- Bjtent men out of the company's employ, nless driven by actual necessity no man wants to work for less than what he knowfl he is worth. O. R.X.SUi.UlIES. The proposed reduction of salaries on the O. R. & N. Hues constitutes tho lead ing topic in railroad circles. It is a mat ter of vital interest to a good many men who are p.iid none too much now for faithful service. All brpncb.es of the service have been scaled down from 10 to 20 per cent., ex cept tho engineers, who politely inform ed the officers that they wouldn't work for the proposed reduced salary, so they carried thir point. Some of the em ployes announce their intention of re signing, but tho great majority accept the new order of things and go right on at a lessened stipend. The ocean service will not be reduced, at least for the present, but the river ser vice is cut throughout. The Astoria em ployes of the O. It. & N. Company come in for their share of the reduction. Tho salary of Mr. Noyes, the company's agent is cut from 15Uto $rjj a montn, ana the other positions in proportion. The position of cashier, heretotore occupied by Mr. Lounsberry, has been declared abolished. Mr. Lounsberry now fills Mr. Noyes' position during the absence of the latter at the east. Taking tho relative cost of living into consideration it would seem that the re duction in wagas pats the salaries lower than those in eastern cities, while tho small force employed makes hardt-r werl: for the employes. When the Queen came down yesterd ly there was a cheerless aspect within and without, and one solitary deck boy Fhowed up to heave a line ashore. When the passengers got off thuy mado a straight shoot for tho restaurants to get something to eat. It seems that when the boat was ready to leave Portland vesterdav, tho hands "struck," and there was no breakfast, the boat delaying its departure long'enough to allow th2 xass engers to go ashore and get n haly cup of coffee. Dinner time tvime bat no din ner, and h:'d the trip continued there is no telling to what dreadful length:; of suf fering the unhappy trawler.-; would have gone. lJappily the engineers and fire men were on deck, and the boat made more than ordinarily pood time to As toria. A dispatch received last evening savs that the Wide West has been hauled oft; the probability is that there has been another "strike" on the crack steamer of the O. R. & N. fleet. Till: FASTEST Tl' O.N THK PACIFIC CO VST. Shortly after the tug Pioneer came tho Horn around it was evident that her fine lines and iharp bow did not belie her sailing qualities and that no tug on tho coast could outrun her. When the keel of the new tug Astoria was laid it was un derstood that while the other require ments of a tug should not be wanting, the new boat should be so built as to hold her own with any of her class when it came to getting through tho water at a lively rate. Tho first trip that tho As toria made in San Francises bay after her machiney was put in showed that the builders were not mistaken, and hor time from the Bay city to the Columbia was further evidence of her going qualities. Since her arrival hero last Friday it has been a question as to which of tho two tugs is the faster, and yesterday morning after the Geo. T. Manson and Dora Jihihm had arrived in. gave a good opportunity to test their relative merits. The Pioneer xtas off Fort Stevens with 70 lbs steam, when the Astoria came along to give her a brush. Neither tug made any extraordinary effort, but as is natural, didn't care to be left, and so they came flying along, watched with considerable interest by j largo crowd on every dock, who knew that such a good chance would not be al lowed to pass. Ihc scene was a line ono. The breeze was fresh from the southwest. tho water was rough and the green swells sparkled in tho sunlight or flashed from the sides of tho little steamers as they hissed through the rushing water. Tho seven miles were made in 21 minutes, tho Astoria leading, though it is the belief of somo that the Pioneer can hold her own with tho new arrival, while others say that when the Astoria has a chance to get all her bearings worked true and has been in the service a little while, she can walk away from the iron tug. Bo that as it may. one thing is certain, that the two finest and fastest tugs on the coast are the Astoria and the Pioneer. FIRE DEIUP.T31E.NT KLKCTHttS.

Drowned From The Steamer I'niou. Herman Haesling fell from the steamer Union at one o'clock Sunday morning and was drowned. The boat had just arrived at Wilson &. Fisher's dock from Gray's river and was being tied up. J. M. Olsen of tho Union and B. F. Stevens of tho Gleaner, were standing on the dock and heard a splash. Tho engineer said that Haesling had been casting off the stern line and losing his balance fell overboard. Efforts were immediately mado to recover the body. It was thought that tho current had washed it under tho boat, and it was moved back, tho body being found in tho spot indicated about twenty minntes after the accident hap pened. All attempts at resuscitation were unavailing. Haesling was a young man, aged 23 years; his father and mother live at Grays river, where the funeral took place yesterday. First Day of School. "School begins to-day'' was the first thought that flashed throngh the minds of tho vounc folks in District No. 1 awakening yesterday morning. Light showers fell making the sidewalks slip pery, but when the half past eight o'clock bell rang Benton street was lined with happy faced boys and girls from the wee small toddler who was going for the first time,to the sedate seniors who carried for the moBt part a tremendous load of books. The young faces looked happy, as though they were glad that school had begun. Into tho different rooms they went, filling them with noisy speech, and when nine o'clock had arrived there were 237 in the building. Mrs. Martin expects an attendance this fall of 275 to 300. There are 437 children of school age in thp district. rau1 Unfile. A fine piano worth 500 to be rallied for at P. Blankholm's. One hundred and twenty-five chances at $3 a chance, a prize for someone.

Partial... of the Embezzlement nd Fllcht I of TV. D. rittenser. Oregonian. The embezzlement and flight of W. D. Pittenger, ex-county treasurer and mer chant of Hillsboro, have thrown the peo ple of Washington county into as great an excitement as tho Ward affair created in New York. It is tho general topio of conversation. In every town and village men congregate and talk and anxiously .- :.. r ".,. ,.. ;i, hilo. , l , au r, 4i,, flv ' lawyers and creditors are on the fly, , searching for some bit of drift from tho j wreck that will, in a measure, secure the losses. Men who have toiled for years in the work of securing a competency, now see tho fruits of their labors swept away and themselves financially crippled or wrecked. As a matter of course public sentiment ? -.i ....nSnnI 41. n. .nn.i Yitt- rnOTC -1 ?lll I ! BllUU ililllUk WC lilalu ILi.i". - I this, and there is a general demand for his capture and punishment, though his whereabouts are still unknown. Just before Pittenger left town he bor rowed $11 fr.ira some acquaintances, all the money tuey hud about them at the time. Ho then crossed the railroad track and walked across the bottoms to where a wagon was awaiting him. It isgener erally believed that ho started for British Columbia, though a few think he is hid ing in tho mountains, and somo are of the opinion that he has committed sui cide. Opinions are also divided as to what amount of money he secured in his fiight. Many believe that ho has thou sands of dollars deposited somewhere, though persons in a position to know are of the belief that bad management crip pled him and led him to his misappro priation of state and county funds. Time serves to show that tho alf.tir is even worse than at first reported in the Oregonian, the amount of tuxes e:n!.e3 zled amounting to 22,000. This is se cured to tho state and county by bonds of $50,000 on men worth more than tho sum missing. These are Dr. F. A. Bailey, County Commissioner Conrad Schul merick and T. A. Tongue. Pittenger's term of offico expired July 1. He gave his statement to tho county clerk, for submission to the county oourt about that time, according to which his books balanced to a cent, but failed to produoo receipts from tho state treasurer for $14,003 state taxes roported paid. The clerk asked for tho vouchers and Pit tenger replied that they were at his house and ho would bring them up tho next day. Tho clerk then submitted tho re port to the court, who apparently had perfect confidence in Pittenger's integrity as they accepted it, though the bondsmen were not released, no request to that ef fect being made. Mr. Waggener, the now treasurer, then took charge of tho books, and all, appar pently, was correct, A few days ago, how ever, tho present treasurer roccivod a let tor from tho slate treasurer, with a re quest that ho remit taxes on hand at once. This was a puzzlo to Waggener, and he replied, asking how much was due. Tho answer came like a thunder bolt, showing that Pittenger had failed to paj taxes recently collected to tho amount of $11,000. The books were at once submitted to A. W. Llewellyn, cx county clerk, who discovered another do fic:t of $8,030, adroitly concealed by a system of false figures. A warrant was at once issued for Pittenger's arrest, but, aidodby a few bosom friends, ho had made Ins escape. Pittenger's liabilities nro roughly es timated at from $50,000 to $00,000. The nominal asssets are about $10,000: actu al assets, $25,000. All his property, in cluding $12,000 worth of real estate, mortgaged for $5,000 two stocks of goods, one at Hillsboro and tho other on Gales creek; and outstanding accounts were conveyed to his bondsmen before his de parture. Tho creditors, will contest this conveyance, and have attached tho property. A long fight may bo expected on this point. If tho bandsmsn Io3o tho case it may result in the business wreck of one or two of them, though D. Bailey can stand his loss with little inconven ience, T. H. Tongue, a reporter learned, is also on Pittenger's paper for about $5,000. Mr. Will Weatherred, Pittenger's for mer partner, it is feared, will bo a heavy loser. The missing man owed him sev eral thousand dollars, and tho accounts of the old firm have been attached. Sir. Weatherred was at tho seaside when tho affair culminated, but was telegraphed for at once. He has an interest in the drug store of Ransom & Co., which has been attached by Pittenger's oreditors, resulting in the closing of the store. It will probably bo opened in a few days, however. Tho defaulter's store at Hills boro is being conducted by the bonds men. A number of people who placed implicit confidence in Pittenger lose their sav ings. Thero is no bank at Hillsboro, anu ne nan charge oi a number of trust funds. Theset so far as learned, include sums of from. S100 to $400. The Hills boro lodge of Masons loses $300. Great sympathy is expressed by all for the unfortunate family of the runaway. Mrs. Pittenger is completely prostrated by the shock. Pittenger has been doing business for years in Washington county and was long considered ono of tho solid men of tho county. His stores were apparently doing a big business, but many bad debts were carried, and to this is ascribod the present wreck. It is said that the county court will give the bondsmen time to raise the amount embezzled; and will borrow tho $14,000 due tho state which must bo ro mitted at once, in order to save costs.
