There was a walking contest of six days
IN New Torl; last week, in which negro
named Dan Hart beat the best time on re-
cord, walking 565 miles in six days. Wes-
ton is nowhere along with him.
Information received at military head
quarters says that General Hatch with
part OF the command, attacked 300 Indians
in camp in San Andreas mountain. The
fight lasted SIX hours and the Indians re-
treated, leaving their dead behind Capt
Henry Carroll, of the 9th cavalry. and seven
soldiers, were severely wounded. A large
amount of stock was captured from the IN
dians, who are supposed to be Mescalero
Apaches as they retreated towards the Mes
calero Apache agency. Hatch, with his COM
mand, is in pursuit.

CORRECTION. Some persons have con-
strued our allusion last week to 1.-THE cold
charities of corporations in speaking OF
Mrs Conway, as referring to the Sisters OF
Charity. We disclaim any such construc-
tion in this case, as only the cold and heart
less corporation of Multnomah county could
be pointed out rs having acted wrongly
The Sisters OF Charity have shown in this
case, as indeed they have in all Others ever
coming to our knowledge, the part of the
good Samaritan and they take in, feed and
clothe. heal and comfort, even when those
connected by the nearest and dearest ties
have abandoned the unfortunate to a life of
despair. As the true philanthropists of this
coast they stand above all others.
THE Poll TAX QUESTION: to days
issue of this paper appears an opinion by
District Attorney Bloomfield on the poll tax
question, suggested by Sheriff Fletcher $
ton Of the new law does not exempt resi-
dents of incorporated cities from the pay
ment of poll or road poll taxes, as was by
some at first supposed. We know of no one
in Vancouver who would be willing that
town people should be exempted from the
payment of these taxes while the country
people still shoulder the burden. The town
would not endorse such change of system
because it is contrary to the well settled
principle that taxation should be equal and
uniform, and would give good reason for
that hostility of country against town which
has to some extent heretofore existed II
an effort was made in the late Legislature to
exempt town people from the payment OF
poll taxes Vancouver is not responsible for
it. We trust and believe the country peo-
pie will view the matter in the proper light.
The opinion of Mr. Bloomfield is based upon
sound argument, and deserves the perusal Of
every taxpayer in the county.

THE ATTACK on w. +. 4 Cove are
glad to see that all the newspapers of the
Pacific coast are taking sides with Wells,
Fargo & Co. in the late attack made by the
Postal Commission upon that company. 1t
has stirred upa feeling of indignation all
over the coast, even to the smallest mining
camp. No, the people of this side of the
Rockies cannot well do without the aid OF
Wells, Fargo u Co. in carrying our letters,
and we are pleased to see our people so
aumoua in protesting against any changes
being made.

EPISCOPAL VISIT. The last Cahbofc Sentinel
says that Bishop Junger, of Nesqnally, will
leave Vancouver next week for his first
Episcopal visit to the Eastern portion of his
Diocese-where, we doubt not, his presence
will be greeted by the Catholic portion of the
community, with feelings of both pride and
pleasure. There are number of Catholics
scattered throughout Eastern Washington
Territory, who are anxious to have Catholic
missionaries stationed among them. and the
earnest efforts OF Bishop Junger will be di-
rected towards accedng to their wishes in
this respect.
The Bishop departed from Vancouver on
Monday.

all yards and cesspools are cleaned up, and

their case should be turned over to the mar

to remove the town of Washougal to new

Landing, where new village will be started
Immediately. About 81, 900 has been sub

about land titles at the old landing is the
cause of this new movement, SO we under

of the Washougal, and will be not far in the
future.
