teresting accounts of the Cascade
mountain survey of this year by the
Northern Pacific engineers, who have
all come In. 1t states that new pass
on the head of Green river having been
discovered, engineer Sheets has gone
with party to give it an instrument
tai survey at once, though winter is
already upon us. When the work is
completed it will be laid before the
Directors of the Northern Pacific Co.,
who will, it is supposed, decide upon
which route to take for the immediate
extension of the road from Tacoma to
Ainsworth through the Cascades.
The heights of the passes explored
from Mount Adams northward are as
follows: The Cispus Pass, 10 miles
north of Mount Adams, has an eleva-
ton above the sea of $500 feet; the

RELIGIOUS ILLUSIONS DON'T Run
SMooTH.-It appears that one w. w.
Davis, of Walla Walla county, has
been proclaiming himself messen-
ger from God to prepare the way for
the second coming of Christ, and that
he had all power in heaven and earth,
and the power of life and death in his
hands, and got quite number of fol-
lowers, among them A. b. Chilley, A.
J. Courtney and Thos. Evans, whom
he had persuaded to give up and sur
render their property to his custody.
Chilley, Courtney and Evans have be-
come estranged from the Vice gerant
Davis doctrines, and now unkindly al
lege that he is an impostor and has
deluded and cheated them by his false
representations out of sums of money
and many long years of valuable la
Dor, etc. Chilley wants pay for seven
years of labor and $500 in money which
he put into the Christ delusion, in all
81, 200; Evans 81 400 in money and
So, 200 worth of labor. Courtney only
asks for a labor claim of $3.50, for
which sums they bring suit in the
District Court.

THE ELECTIONS.

The result of the election for Presi-
dent and members of Congress will be
satisfactory to the people generally.
With General Garfield at the head of
the nation, and Congress republican
again, the affairs of the country will
go on without disturbance, and the
era Of prosperity will continue with
out doubt. The triumph of the repub-
lican party is great enough to be adj
mitted without any cries of fraud, and
without resort to congressional action
or an electoral commission. Garfield
has 2l3 electoral votes, to 1876 for Han
cock, which will settle the contest
without any bubbles. The solid south
has been met by an almost solid north,
OF which it is possible that Hancock
has carried California, Nevada and
New Jersey.
In Washington Territory Hon. T..
H. Brents is reelected by not less
than ZOO majority, and the balance
of the Territorial ticket also. In the
second district n. H. Bloomfield is re-
elected Prosecuting Attorney, but his
majority cannot be stated at this time.
In Clarke county Mr.. Brents held
his own, as could have been expected,
getting the usual party majority. Mr..
Charles Brown is triumphantly re-
elected as auditor, through his i'm
mense personal popularity, which,
though it is just testimonial to his
worth, cannot be regarded as in the
least uncomplimentary to his worthy
opponent. The contest in this county
should not be regarded as political,
and the result, as shown elsewhere, is
purely the work of personal popularity.

EDITORS NEws:-New Year was ush-

the place has ever held, given by the
Winfield Rifles. About $50 couples were

young lady receiving 425 votes-nearly
200 majority over her competitor.
Dancing was kept up until nearly 8
O'Clock, when the company dispersed, all
declaring it to be the finest and most
successful ball ever given in Winfield.

are being used to convey the participants
