i Its frame IL composed Of solid plates. Ne Jar
can interfere with the harmony oflr working and
no sudden shock can damage lts machinery. Ey-
cry piece Is made and finished by machinery (it.
self famous for Its novelty, as we'll ne for its eff
fsctiveness) and IL therefore properly made. The
watch Ia what all m echanism should be--Aecurate,
Simple, Strong and Economical. Except some
high grades, too costly for general use, foreign
watches are chiefly made by women and boys
Such watches are composed OF several hundred
pieces, screwed and riveted together, and require
constant repairs TO keep them In any kind Of or
der. All persons who have carried "ancres, de
pines" and "Engiish Patent Levers" are perfect
iy wellawars Of the truth Of this statement.
At the beginning Of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, 10 was our hrst object TO make n
thoroughly good low priced watch for the million,
to take the place of these foreign impositonsi the
refuse Of foreign factories, which were entirely
unsaleabls at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How we'll we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that after SO many years
OF public trial, we now make more than half Of
all the watches sold In the United States, and
that no others have over given such universal sat
isfaetion. While this department Of our business
is continued with increased facilities for perfect
work, We are at present engaged In the manufae-
turt OF watches of the very highest grade known
TO Chronometry, unequaled by anything hitherto
ma de by ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything
made In the world. For this purpose we have tho
amplest facilities. We have erected an addition
TO our main building expressly for this branch Of
business, and have filed IL with the best workmen
in our service. New machines and appliances have
been constructed which perform their work with
consummate delicacy and exactness. The choicest
and most approved materials only are used, end
we challenge comparison between this grade Of
our work and the finest imported chron ON tiers. -
We do not pretend to sell watches for less
money than foreign watches, but we do assert
without fear Of contradiction that for the same
money our product is incomparably superior. All
our watches, of whatever grade, are fully war
ranted, and this warantee is COED at all times
against us or our agents in all parts of the world.
GA UTION.
The public are cautioned to buy only of re-
speetabe dealers. All persons selling counter
fets will be prosecuted.

A PRoMIsING PLACE.-The settlement at
the crossing Of the upper TOpchet, on the road
leading 10 Lewiston, is fast assuming the proPor-
tious of thriving town. The village already
numbers four stores, each of them keeping large
and varied stocks of goods. There is also an ex-
tepsive Touring mill, blacksmith shop and ho-
tel, the whole forming nucleus that prom
ises at an ealy day to burst into null
Aedged village. Considering that less than three
years have elapsed since MF. Wait, the pioneer
settler took up a claim at that point and arrang-
ed for building his mill, this progress is certain
" healthy. Recently the name Of "Delta, has
been applied to the new towr, and what win
the business establishments already noticed, ana
the opening of post Office, the enterprising pro
iectors certainly have reason to feel encouraged
Along the line of the TOuehet there is lArg'
body of excellent farming land-much of 1t al
ready taken up--the settlers on which Ind tneh

Delta, as it has more recently been named
Our sketch would be incomplete if we ialled u
| notice the eXceIIeut svuUOl, al Prs0snt, end TO
over year, under the charge of Mrs. Simmons
most estimable lady and accomplished teacher
The attendance at the school ranges in the neigh
borhood of fifty scholars, and so great is the in
terest taken in the cause Of education that tn
settlers have found the means to keep the schoo
open the greater part Of the year. Religion
services have likewise been attended to, an'
clergymen of nearly all the leading deuomiua
tious from time to time have held forth for tn
edifcation of the Delta people and the surround
ing country. Other localities may boast of
more rapid growth, but we think few settlement
in agricultural districts can show a more stead
development, or one that speaks better for th
moral or industrial character of the people.

WATER-BoUND.-A party Of packers who
were eucamped on the Touchet, found thew,
selves water>bound for several days during
the late freshet. One of their number writes
US that the water rose so rapidly that it drove
them out of bed at night, and GU getting up
they were astonished to find the water Is
inches deep on the floor Of their cabin. They
were kept in this condition for two days, with
no chance of escaping. At the end of this time
the water subsided, leaving our packer friends
thoroughly drenched, and iu a condition to
appreciate the merits of deluge upon a
small scale.

WALLULA PAcKAGE.-A subscriber, living at
Wallnla, complains that last weeks Statesman
failed to come to hand. The package was placed
10 the WallA WallA Post Office on Friday even,
ing and should have reached Wallula by Sat
urday's stage. The Postmaster here assures us
that the package was placed in the mail bag,
and duly forwarded. This being the case, the
fault must be at Wallula. We know that the
Postmasters are disposed to be careful, but not
WithstAnding the utmost care annoying mistakes
will occasionally happen.

LATER FROM TIE ToUcHET.-We learn from
Mr.. s. L. GilbrCath, just in from the vicinity of
Locke Il Long s..mill, that the damage done du.
ring the late freshet will not amount to over one
thousand dollars. The damage consists in the
wetting probably Of come 500 bushels of wheat,
and the breaking away oftba head aud tail races
He also reports that the bridge on Touchet, at
the crossing of the Lewiston road, was carried
away, together with several small bridges above
Mr. Wait, six miles lower down oD the Touchet,
reports that his loss will not exceed $500, and
is confined mainly to the breaking away of his
dam. The bridge over the Touchet, at the tow n
of Delta, weathered the storm, and is in good
condition. The freshet did not extend to the
streams beyond the Touchet, consequently he
damages are less than was expected. The Pa,a.
ha scarcely felt the freshet, and the same re-
mark will apply to the more distant streams We
have already stated that the bridges on the low
erTouchet were washed away, but beyond these
we have no additional damages to report Mr.
Wait informs US that the water in the Touchet
on Thursday OF last week, was higher than ever
before known, but notwithstanding this unprece>
dented rise, the damage was comparatively tri.
fling.

The LATE FREsHET.-The Walla Walla and
Touchet Rivers have been very high during the
last week. Packers camped along the streams,
and farmers living on the same, have all been
washed out. Mr. A. D. Pambrum, living about
seven miles east of Wallula on the Walla Wal,
la, was taken by surprise, and lost almost eve-
rything, hay, produce, wagon, plows, hay cut
ter, and large amount of household and kitch-
en- furniture, including his library of books and
his papers. The water reached to the top of his
front door. He is now csmped on the bill on
The north bank of the river overlooking the
ruins. Mr.. Goodwin, living about two miles
east of Walluls, on the Walla Walla, Jared about
the same way. At last accounts, his family were
camped in a new corral about one hundred
yards north of his house. The river was never
known to rise so fast, nor to attain so high a
point. The Columbia rose about four feet, eau.
sed by the running out Of the Yakima. The
Snake is just beginning to rise the Northern
Columbia has not moved yet-high water is the
order of the day

BAIr.-Ths telegraph reports that in the
event OF the impeachment and removal OF Pres

place General Grant in the position thus vaca.
ted. This is evidently plan Intended to win
over the head of the army to the support of the
mad schemes of the disuniouistS. Our conf
s'nes in the great hero Of the war is such that

KENTUCKY SENATOR. - The telegraph
brings us the intelligence that after pro-
lonped contest, Garrett Davis has been eIec~
ted to the Senate for the full term oil SIX
wears. Mr.. Davis made his first appearances
10 Congress as a member of the House OF
Representatives this was in 1889, and he
continued in the House until lS47, when he
declined reelection. In 1861 be was elec'
ted TO the Senate for the term which ex>
pires March. 4, 1867. Senator Davis was
an earnest and active opponent of the REBEL
ion, and was elected to the Senate by the
Uuiou men of Kentucky. Since the sur>
render Of the rebels, he has been snmrwhat
distinguished ior his determined opposition
to the measures by which the radicals have
aimed to delay the restoration OF the Union
His election under the circumstances may
fairly be regarded as Union triumph. Mr.,
Davis belongs to the old whig school OF pol
itics, and from early life was devoted per>
sonal and political friend of Henry Clay,
and was greatly esteemed by that peerless
statesman

NEdRo SUFFKAGE.-It will be seen from the
telegraphic report that the bill conferring the
right of suffrage upon the negroes in the Terri>
tories, has passed both houses of Congress, and
iI now the law of the land. Under the provi-
'ions of the bill as it stands, Negroes, Cinnamon
and kanakas are placed upon a level with the
white man. The first step towards mongrel
government has TINS been taken, and if We de-
sire TO know where all thisis to end, we have
only to look at Mexico to see the result Of throw
ing the ballot box open to "white spirits and
black" We now have negro suffrage in the
Territories and in the District of Columbia. All
that remains to complete the work, is to force
negro suffrage on the States. When this is done
Sumner and Stevens will have accomplished
their mission.

LATER FROM THE KoOTENAI COUNTRY.
We have adyices from Kootenai to Janus
ary Sd. Up to that date the weather had
been fine and little or no snow. Some Of tue
miners we're still working. A new mining
camp had been struck ct the mouth of the
Kootenai River which promised well. Rey-
noldS, the express messenger, arrived at
Kootenai the latter part Of December, and
reported having found on the way in man,
(name unknown) who had perished from cE-
posure He also found on Fort Sheppard
Mountain, between Flat Bow Lake and Pen
d'Oreille River a man named Stronach, who
was almost gone in. The Kootenai miners
were preparing to commence operations early
in the spring, and calculate to get out any
quantity of treasure.

The ROADS = The late freshst caused sad
havoc on the line of the roads threading this
Valley. In many instances bridges were swept
away, and for the time being travel was serious
ly interrupted. The subsdence Of the water
leaves the streams fordable, but still much re.
mains to be done before the road can fairly be
said TO be in passable condition. On the road
to Wallula, at the crossing of the Touchet, teams
are required to pass through sloughs, at the risk
Of mring down. A slight expenditure will place
the road in good condition at that point, and
prove a great convenience to teamsters. The
road leading from town, in the direction of The
city cemetery, we notice requires repairs in
it is particularly bad-so much SO that loaded
teams find it difficult to pass thst way. We refer
to this matter, for the purpose of suggesting
that the Road Supervisors take prompt measures
to have the different highways placed in pas,
sable condition. Tie season promises to be
unusually early, and it is to the interest of all
that the avenues Of communication be placed in
the best possible order. Last r-n .,~ab Of the
trade that had formerly reached the mines
through other routes, was freishied 10y way of
this Valley, The morement then inaugurated
i. likely to gather force with the season about
to commence and it is uot too much to say that
the greater part of the merchandise designed
for the mining districts will be landed at Wal
lula, and then teamed to tue different camps.
1t is the the uniform testimony Of packers aud
teamsters, that they prefer to'freight from WAL
lula rather than any other poiut on the river.
The reason for this preference has been the su.
periority Of our roads, and looking to the con.
tinued favor of this class we should see to it
that all damages to the highways caused by the
late freshet are promptly repaired.

CoLvILLE lTEMs.-A Colvile letter, dated Jan.
29th, has the following: mo mining news what.
ever. As to the location and route to the new
diPgiugs, | would state that as near as can
find out the Kalispel or Pen Oreille mines are
from 25 to 80 miles below the old Kllispel MIS-
sion, which latter place is about As miles from
Colvile, travelling east From the course of the
Pen 'oreille, this would bring the mines within
30 or 35 miles Of Colville, and in north. st
direction. At present there is no road leading
direct from Colvlle to the mines but just ao
soon our people ascertain that the mines will
ray, they intend to cut out trail. The present
travelled route is by way of Colville thence to
the Kllispel Ia pretty good trail )and from there
take boats to the diggngs. II is not practicable
for pack-animals to go down the Pen dOreille
from any given point above the old Mission, e1,
cept in the fall of the year after the swamps dry
In conclusion have to say, that although moth
ing is known with certainty in regard to the new
mines, it is confidently believed that they will
prove rich 4"
