to be a good teacher, but his financial
ability is poor. He had full charge
of the college, including the boarding

it a practice to collect in ad
vance from the scholars, but
what he did with the money is a mys

an accounting with Lasher but thus

they arc in such sbajw that nothing

Poi:tlvni. March 3. -Manager
Richard Koehler of the Southern Pa
cific ilailrond company returned this
morning from the seat of war in
Southern Oregon. Koehler said:
"We have made great progress on the
temporary new line from a jwint
where the track was submerged to
the slide, around which a good road
has been built. We are now com
mencing to put in a tres
tle work and bridgo across the
end of the lake. The working force
is being increased every day aud in a
few days more our entire operating
force will number 4,500 men. The
pile driving outfit with pontoon
bridges, has just lcen received fjom
San Francisco, to assist in the br$lge
work. Camp3 for graders ilot
tho entire vicinity. Tho whole ne
from upper connection to the landslide
is covered with men. The Portfind
division has moved ahead to Unjon
creek about five and a half miles from
West Forks, where Ave will have two
or three days work on the landslide.
We hope to be able lo reach West
Forks by Sunday night, provided the
weather does not become furiously in
clement so as to stop the work.
As soon as that point is reached
our forces will work toward the forces
from the other division slides at the
forks, about 19.i miles in extent. I
have just received a dispatch from
San Francisco which states that the
California force has got through No.
9, and that trains will hereafter run
on regular schedule time be
tween San Francisco and Glen
dale. From Portland onr trains
will run south as for as Biddies. Be
tween that place and Glendale, the
stage line over the old mail route, by
was of Cauyonville, has been estab
lished, but if rain should fall in the
journey it would be a great hardship
for ladies and those who are dis
inclined lo put up with many
inconveniences incident thereto. An
ellbrl is being made to secure con
nection by mil, but it is probable the
solution of this depends wholly upon
weather."
The long looked for arrival of W.

IJoberts, a young man '2C years of age,
were brought here by sheriff Uirdseye,
of Jacksonville. The cishier's missing
book was not found aimng his effects.
Win. Dunbar cliims that the amount
taken Troni the linn will reach $10,000.
In Hobcrts' trunks 51,203 in cash were
found, and a receipt for 300 for law
yer's fee rendered shortly after his
arrest, ft is thought his son is im
plicated in the affair.
Geo. F. Boyce, a very respectable
appearing man, formerly in the employ
of the Terminal company, is uuder sir
rest charged with obtaining 23 from
Z. T. Wright under false pretenses.
Wright says:uHe is the slickest talker
he ever heard. On the ISth of last
mouth he came into my office and
handed me a draft for Sir drawn on
his mother, or Albion, N. Y. I
coulnd't remember him at first but
when he was with the terminal com
pauy, I dimly recollected him
He appeared to be respectable and as
the sum was a small one I let him
have it. Last Saturday he again hur
riedly rushed into my office with an
other draft asking me to ca-ih it This
aroused my suspicions and I wired lo
Mrs. Bovce. In return received
this telegram from her:
"I honor no drafts from my son
George."
There is a possibility that this case
may not be prosecuted, but should it
be there will be additional unsavory
matters in connection with Boyce's
Portland career shown up.

Special by Tho California Associated Press
Washington, March 3. In the sen
ate to-day Voorhees introduced a res
olution calling attention to the state
ment that the award of the Alaska
fishing contract to tho North Amer
ican company was illegal. Therefore
the secretary of the treasury bo called
upon to furnish a statement with all
the papers in the case, including the
bills and that he bo requested not to
execute the contract until the senate
had had a chance to investigate. Tho
resolution was referred to the com
mittee on finance.
Senator Yoorheei IntrrrleireJ.
Washington, March 3. Senator
Voorhees said to-day to au agent of
the California Associated Press: "I
offered this resolution without -stating
therein any of the facts iu the
case, :ts they came to me
simplv becauso I desired tho hnanco
committee to investigate tho matter
and Avhile I feel perfectly satisfied that
the investigation would do no
harm aud that I should be per
fectly right in offering the reso
lution, I do not consider
it necessary to rehearse the charges
made in the resolution. These mat
ters I felt should be brought forward
by people resiionsiblo for tlie charges.
I offered this resolution, based on sec
tion 1,963, revised statutes, as
follews: "When the lease heretofore
made by tho secretary of tho treasury
to the Alaska Commercial company of
a right to engage in taking fur seals
on the islands of St Paul and St
George pursuant to the act of July 1,
1870, chapter 189, or when any
future, similar lease expires,
or is surrendered or forfeited
or terminated the secretary shall lease
to the proper and responsible parties
for the best advantage of the TJnited
States, having due regard to tho inter
ests of the government, the nature of
the inhabitants, their comfort, main
tenance and education as well as to
the interests of parties heretofore en
gaged in the trade and and protection
of fisheries, the right of taking fur
seals on the islands herein named and,
of sending a vessel or ves
sels to the islands for
skins of such seals for a term of
twenty years, at an annual rental of
not less than $o0,U00 to be reserved in
such lease, insured bv deposit of TJ. S.
bonds to that amount, and every such
leae shall bo duly executed in dupli
cate and shall not be transferable."
"I understand," said Voorhees "that
tins section has not been complied
with. In addition to this it is said
that the president of the corporation
which secured the contract has been
for years a notorious sea poacher in
the Behring sea This will all appear
before tho senate finance committee if
they see fit to investigate the matter.
I am told that D. O. Mills organized
this as a stock company simply to sell
stock."
It was said here that tho Voorhees
resolution was in the iuterest of an
Indianapolis company which Dudley
and others were concerned in.
