OREGON CITY May 3.-About $50
Just night fire was discovered on the
Shoo-Fly, one of the Oregon Steamship
Com pany's upper river boats, lying in
the basin ut this place. The fire spread
rapidly and quickly communicated with
the steamer Alice, lying alongside, and
both boats were wrapped in a sheet OF
flame. The Fire Department was
promptly on the spot and did all that
could be done to extinguish the fire.
They succeeded in saving the hulls OF
both boats, and kept the flames from
spreading to buildings near the basin.
No freight was on board either boat Mt
the time. Loss, $40 900; no insurance.
The general impression seems to be that
the fire was the work of IN incendiary.

COMBINATION BOILER AND WAsHER.-
A model of IN improved apparatus for
washing clothes has been exhibited to
us by lady of this place, its inventor,
who has tried O washer constructed
on that principal with the most marked
success. 1t saves expense, time and
labor, and in this respect meets all the
requirements of good washing ma
chine, and is an improvement on all
others of which we have any knowledge.
Many of the best washers are time-sav-
ing but not 'abor-saring, as everybody
knows who has tried them. Soon as a

Boiler and Washer, the machine will be
manufactured for sale.

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.

A0b cUI1 MAUI VUhcAASH'
Mrs. Duniway, the irrcpressible
champion of woman suffrage, arrived
by Wednesdays stage. on lec.uring
tour Of the Sound country. She ap-
pears to be as determined As ever, and
confident of final success in her self
sacrificing mission.
The advocates Of suffrage have, the
past few months, manifested unusual
activity, and the popular mind appears
to be slowly but surely preparing for
the change that will sooner or later
take place. The Massachusetts, Legis-
lature recently debated the question for
a week, and although the measure was
defeated, . great deal Of interest was
awakened by the discussion, which
seems to be the essential precedent of
all measures Of reform. In New York,
Indiana, Ohio and other States, prepar-
atoms have been made for an active
campaign, with the view of moulding
popular sentiment in favor of the pro-
position. The main objection that has
been urged against the measure has
been that large majority of the women
do not desire the proposed legislation.
They appear to be content with their
present condition, rather than to ac-
cept the discharge of the untried du-
ties of citizenship. They are slow to
believe that their influence at the polls
will be of any benefit in correcting the
evils under which we now labor. With
divided counsels, and the Incorporate
zeal of class who have achieved an
unenviable notoriety on the social
question" it is not surprising that pro-
gress is slow, and the difficulties at
times sufficient to appal the stoutest
heart enlisted in the cause.
Miss Anthony is performing a noble
work, inasmuch as her indictment for
illegal voting seems to awaken an in
terest upon the subject, and leads the
people to think of, discuss, and form
opinions upon the subject. While it
may appear perfectly plain that the re-
cent Amendments, upon which she re-
lies for support, may not have been
framed with the intent of comforting
suffrage upon her sex, it must be re-
membered that Congress was but one
party to the adoption of these Amend
ments, and that the States, severally
and individually ratified them, and
may have been controlled by quite a
different idea of their scope and mean
ing.
But Mrs. Duniway is here to argue
the question in all its bearings, and we
leave with her the task of awakening
thought and developing sentiment upon
the great question at issue. While it
has not yet assumed partisan cast, it
is we'll for all to consider the question
with calm deliberation, and especially
those who have been aided SO materially
by the influence of women as was the
prevailing party in our last Territorial
campaign.

built up q reputation for eccentric ut
terences in the pulpit, but We doubt If
he can we'll have successful imitator.
1t is dangerous ground for minister to
occupy, and can only be maintained by
the possession of peculiar talent as
rare as it is brilliant. It is unsafe even
for an actor on the boards of Q theatre,
to attempt rebuke or passage at wit
with the audiance, or to single out any
member of it as target for forensic
display. They are almost certain to be
worsted, and the audience appear in
variably to side sgainst the aggressor
in the laughter and plaudits that
are sure to follow. We have too
high a regard for the sacred desk to be-
lieve that such conduct is proper. It
is not in keeping with the character of
our Great Examplar, who was meek
and merciful. 1t does not accord with
the letter and spirit of Holy Writ,
which counsels moderation and privacy
in our devotions, and admonishes us to
love one another. We preach this SER
mon that good may result from it. The
daily press of this city has teemed with
insinuations and filings of anonymous
correspondents, against the conduct of
one of our divines, and it is for his
sake we utter these friendly warnings.
Cultivate moderation, brother; remem-
Der that Christ refused to pass judg-
ment upon even the most erring. Re-
member how blessed it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity.
DEATH OF JARED s. HURD.-Mr. Hurd
died in San Francisco on the 9Th in
slant, whittier he had gone for medical
treatment. He was born near Lock-
port, New York Dec. 2, 1924, and
came to this Territory in 1854, since
which time he has continuously resided
within its limits. Mr.. Hurd was civil
engineer by profession, and has for
many years been connected with the
Land Offices Of the Territory, in the
capacity of draughtsman, and deputy
surveyor. In 1870 he was employed by
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
in exploring the several passes of the
Cascade Range, and subsequently held
a position upon the Canadian Railroad
Survey. At the time of his illness, we
believe, he was draughtsman in the
Surveyor Generals Office. Mr.. Hurd's
death will be regretted by large circle
of friends, to whom he was endeared
by many social and fraternal virtues.

The Lava Beds,

We have an account by telegraph
this morning of considerable fighting
in the Lava Beds. Ii seems that the
troops are making fair progress,
though at latest advices nothing deci-
sive had been accomplished. The
general tenor Of the account fur
nished us seems to indicate that the
destruction of the m]urderous Modocs
is but a question of time. There is
n statement, however, that a por-
ton of the Indians had outtlanked a
detachment OF the troops, which is
not altogether satisfactory. We con-
TESS to a fear that the ringleaders NAV
have made good their escape. Five
soldiers had been killed and ten more
wounded. 1t is believed that several
Indians We're killed in the fight on
w ednesday, but this appears 10 be
mere conjecture. We shall await fur
ther details with much anxiety.

The Salt Lake, Sewer Valley and

On Monday last, ground was broken
at Salt Lake for the above railroad. A
large number OF people assembled to
witness the ceremonies, and several
appropriate speeches were made.
Among those who took an active part,
we note the names of General p. F..
Connor, III. z. kimball, Len. Wines,
Colonel Akers, Henry Goodspeed

This praisewortby enterprise is a
narrow-gauge road, to connect Salt

We cannot look upon this enter
prise in any other light than as com
ing in direct competition with the
Elko Narrow Gauge. Hence it is that
we have given from time to time
everything connected with the Salt
Lake road. 1t really appears to us
that the projectors of this road are in
dead earnest, and we very much fear
that Its success may very materially
inlure the prospects of our own road.
We cannot see the necessity of pene-
trating Southeastern Nevada with
two lines of road.

Lieutenant Fred. Grant.

The promotion of Fred. Grant. a
mere stripping, by his father, the
President, does not set very well with
old army officers. The Army and Macy
Journal, in abiding to the Subject,
ventures to say that there is little
profit in criticislng injustice for which
there is no remedy, but it is not we'll
to disguise the fact that great dissatis-
faction has been created in the army
by the promation of a young Second
Lieutenant of infantry, just from the
Military Academy, to the position of
Aid-de-camp on the staff of the Lieu
tenant General, in place of officers
whose services and experience so
much better entitle them to such a
position" The New York Sun is more
severe on the President. That journal
treats the matter after this style: is
it not unjust to blame General Grant
for securing for his SOL Fred. $500 a
year instead of 81 500? Can those
who approve the Presidents lobbying
to get $4,000 a year for himself, when
he had agreed to work for S25, 600,
properly find fault with his little
game for doubling the salary of his
