the statement Of the fact that portage

bia river is navigabls to Kettle Fails. a
distance OF :25 miles from its mouth. As
this distance is SO largely caused by the
big beEd of the river. White Bluffs is
the practical head Of navigation. A
road due north from that point thereby
avoiding the big bend, would strike
the Columbia near the 10th parallel.
from whence it could be nsvigated

Brusal Fight.

A brutal fight came of on North
Main street yesterday morning about
8 o'clock, Ia which two rivals to the
favors Of Q soiled dove stubbornly
contested for the supremacy. No
weapons were used but what nature
had provided the combatants, and
these were handled with great effect.
II was . regular rough. and.tumble
ARRAY, and continued for full half an
hour. during which time the men
kicked, bit. tore hair and fought worse
than . couple of wild beasts. The
affray finally ceased through the sheer
exhaustion of both parties. and they
crawled OF to their rooms with their
cou ntenances battered out OF all sem
blance to human features. One mourns
the loss of q portion OF his ear, while
the other retired from the contest with
q broken nose ard other delicate
marks Of attention bestowed upon him
by his antagonist. Whether the lady
Ia the case succeeded in making ~
her mind as to the merits OF her sd'
mireEs we failed to learn.

Jack. The Giant Killer.

Deakin's Liliputian Comic Opera
Troupe made their opening bow to the
Eureka public at B~igelow's Hall last
evening, to large and delighted
audience. Most of our people have
seen both dwsrfs and giants, but few
have ever witnessed n aggregation of
these delightful people in a comedy
troupe, and we believe that this Is the
first attempt Of that character. That it
is a most successful one, no one who
was present at last evenings perfortn-
ance will deny. The audience thor
oughly enjoyed the entertainment
from the raising of the curtain until
It's final drop, and manifested their
pleasure by continuous applause. To
the little ones who were present tn
play was only a confirmation of the
lore that they had imbibed from their
| picture books. Here was the dread
full giant Ia person., and Jack strutted
the stage, the very representation OF
the hero Of that famous story. Rash
would be the man who would at
temp to shake their faith at the pres
eut time, for they have living proof Of
the veritable existence of pigmies and
giants, and can point triumphanily to
last nights performance as corrobor-
atory evidence.
The songs and dances OF the little
people were well done, the comic stu
atoms keeping everybody in q state OF
laughter; and, 10 fact. all Of the troupe
enacted their roles in a charming man
ner, and evinced the possession OF
dramatic talent that would be a credit
to larger and nor p%retentious people.
Another performance will be given this
evening, and will doubtless attract as
large an assemblage as WAS present at
the initial entertainment. Reserved
seats can be procured at the box Office
during the day.
