CAsTIGATED. - DIR. Folkman,
editor of the Oregon Stats Zeit-
ung, was severely punished last
Saturday afternoon by a we'll
known German citizen of Port
land, concerning the character
of whose daughter the former
had made some unjust and damag-
ing reflections in his paper.
Meeting the author Of the artic-
lie, the irate father proceeded to
use a cowhide vigorously about
the shoulders of the offender,
who was compelled to stand and
submit to the castigation. The
affair created no little comment
in the community.
F1ooD.--Pt. Madison had small
flood yesterday that came near re-
sulting in serious damage. The end
burst out of one OF the large tanks
on the hill, and the whole volume of
water came down the incline. cleared
out Mr.. Wolner's and the company's
gardens, and had it not been for the
high match board fence around the
latter being carried away, it would
undoubtedly have washed the cook
house from its foundation. As it

THE GREEN RIVER CoUNTRY.-M

IHE GREEN 1tIyER COUNTRY.-Mr,
R. W. Osbourne, Of this city. has
just returned from a tour of obser-
walton along the White and Green
rivers, having assembled the latter
stream about = niles above its
mouth. He expresses himself very
much surprised at the extensive im-
provements wiic. he found aiong
his route rp the White riyer-vast
fields of waving grain meeting his
gaze Oh either si5e of the stream;
stock Of every kind in abundance;
all denoting the thrift and wealth of
the farmers in that section of our
county. He says the land on Green
river is of q much better quality
and more easily brought under cul-
tivation than that on White river.
The valley is narrow, but the hills
on each side rise only to an altitude
Of perhaps 100 feet. running off for
miles in table land covered with a
thin growth Of alder and vine maple,
which is easily cleared. The table
land is pronounced to be equal to
that In the valley, and is easy of
access, as roads can be built through
the ravines on easy grades. To de-
monstrate the facility with which
farms can be opened in the valley
of the Green river, he mentions the
case of a man who settled there last
February, and who, without assis-
tance of any kind, has cleared up 10
acres, and has the same under crops
which in point of luxuriance will
compare favorably with any Of the
old settled farms along White river.
Mr.. o. states, also, that there is an
abundance of government land in
the valley, and that little of the ta-
bic land has been located. The dis
tance from here is about 35 miles
good wagon road trayersing the
entire distance. Parties in quest of
homes will do we'll to call upon Mr..
Osbourne. sign of the big boot, cor

who will be pleased to give them
any information in his possession

STABB1NG AFFRAY.-A couple OF

ly in the breast and back. The fsG-
tive Felix was sent up for three
months, by Justice Hammond.

A resort to false pretences to main

to a newspaper which claims to be
the leading journal of the Territory.
THE Port Townsend Argus
says that on Friday last the
North Pacific took on beard a
shipment of sixty cases, or about
four tons of cheese from the
cheese factory at Chimacum.
The demand for this cheese is
steadily increasing in market
and those who embarked in the
enterprise have good cause for
congratulating themselves on it's
flattering success.
Iri is estimated that the Ameri-
cans are now spending about
S5,OOO,OOO a month at the Paris
Exposition. This probably ae-
counts for the difficulty we find
in making collections.

City Election.

The city election yesterday
was very spirltedly contested,
the ins laboring under the disad-
vantage Of popular prejudice
against a third term in office,
which was sought by the defeat
ed party. The aggregate vote
was never SO large at any prev
ious municipal election, with the
single exception Of two years
ago when the leading candidates
were respectively the same, not
withstanding the fact that on
this last occasion probably one
third Of the resident voters were
ruled out for non-payment Of
taxes, under a clause Of the
amended charter. But for this
exclusion, the aggregate vote
would have been not less than
600 or 700, which would have
shown the strongest contest ever
waged over a city election in
this city. At a general election
the vote cast in the city has
reached 900, but on such occa-
sions this is the usual polling
place Of many voters living out
side the city limits. The majori-
ty of Brown over DR.. Weed for
Mayor is just 100; the majority
Of Weed over Brown two years
ago was II. Following is the
ratrrnc nv wordo.

That "UNFAIR UMPIRE" = Mr.
Benz. Osborn, who acted in the ca
pacity of umpire in the base ba!
match played by the Junior ak
and Union clubs of this city. on the
4th inst, has been severely criticised
on account of some of his decision:
and rulings during the progress o.
the game. Mr.. Osborn desires to
state that his decisions were strictly
in accordance with the rules gov
erning the game, and practiced by
players throughout the United
States, and that the charge of un
fairness published in the newspaper
of the following day was the result
of gross ignorance on the part o1
his accuser. He also states that this
plea of unfair umpire" set up by
the defeated club, Is "too thin,' as
it was evident to all who witnessed
the game that they were no match
for their opponents.
SoLAcING.-Col. W. II. White,
recently returned from an extended
trip through the Middle, Eastern
aud Southern States, gives a melan-
choly account of the financial con-
dition of the country through which
he journeyed. He says that if the
law inaugurated in this city to dis
franchise those who have not paid a
poll or other tax was enforced in the
States, not one out of ten of the
voting population would be entitled
to the franchise; but happily, al
though poor, the people there are
too enlightened to be governed by
such vagabond enactments. The
Colonel thinks the people here have
least their lot in pleasant places, -
and says they are wealthy in COM
parison to the people of the States.
RAILROAD SURvEY.-The people
of Tacoma are jubilant over the ru-
NOR that Rodgers, chief engineer OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad, is on
his way to the Sound, with instruc-
tions from the company to make a
preliminary survey of the Cowlitz
Pass. preparatory to extending the
line of that road across the Cascade
Mountains. 1t is surprising that
the experience of years has not
taught the people Of the terminus"
that the professions of the railroad
managers were a delusion and a
snare--a corner to enhance the value
of town lots and create a demand
for them by the gullable public.
The INDIANs.-From present in
dications it is not improbable that
the hostile Indians will raid through
the Yakima country on their way to
the British possessions. AS they
journey north their forces are being
daily augmented by recruits from
the different loving bands along
their line of march. It is to he

Mr.. Bailey Gatzert this forenoon:
''CEL1Lo. Oregon, July 9TH.
Gen. Wheaton just telegraphed
from Walla Walla: Nothing from
Howard since 29th. His advance is
now on head of John Days. Small

concert tomorrow evening. com

cises will consist of choice pieces of
music, scriptural recitations and

will deliver the closing address.
A FAsHIoNABLY attired young lady
went into a Commercial street cigar
store, and asked to look at the Di-
rectory. That evening she was ar
rested for passing counterfeit money,
and was found to have the bosom Of
her dress filled with cigars. We
have lost several cigars lately our
selves, and if we don't find them af
this, it won't be our fault. We in
tend to begin looking around this
very evening.
KILLED. Last Monday, about u
mile above Rainier, a young man
named Edward Galloway was killed
by load of wood passing over his
body. He was a young man highly
respected in his neighborhood, and
his sudden death has cast a gloom
over the community.
PANTS are made wide in the
legs now. When you see man
wearing them as wide as gunny

not made by Sam Kenny. His
custom clothing is cut by an
artist.
FROM THE WAR.-Mr. Gatzert has
received a telegram from Mr..
Schwabacher, who has just arrived
at Walla Walla from here, saying
that the reports Of Indian alarms in
that quarter are greatly exaggerated;
that 40 danger was apprehended at
Walla Walla OF on the river.

the duties of the City Attorney are?
To Judge from the report of the
Mayor, his principal duties consist
in drawing money from the city
treasury at least it would seem SO
from the fact of his having drawn
within the two years last past the
sum of t,uen,y one hundred and sizty-
swo dollars and sirty, three cents. for
duties which any respectable attor-
nsy would have performed for i've
hundred dollars, and thought him

A widow in Portland put Grape on
her door. 1t remained there about
a week before the landlord made
bold to interrupt her grief, and
when he entered he found the house
empty. Her grief was So intense
that she had inadvertently removed
all the furniture. The debt of ma
ture which had been paid was sup
positions. The debt for the rent
remains uncanceled. And yet they
say that women are not calculated
for business.
The Tacoma Herald, of the 4th
inst, speaks of the postponement of
a wedding at that place by reason of
the absence of the groom. Disap-
pointments of this nature are be.
coming alsrmingly prevalent of late
and stringent measures should be
adopted to suppress the cold-blood-
ed crime. If we had the name of
the party connected with this affair
we would post him with pleasure.
