Having made a recent tour in the eastern
part of the county, have been enabled to
gather some items that may be of interest to
the readers of the INDEPENDENT. Freed

pleasant, but a mental and physical relief.
Since my visit to that section year ago no
material change has taken place. The

Some changes have been made in her man

is still behind the wheel, and the same gen.
ial and accommodating spirit is manifested
by both officers and crew. | was pleased to
recognize among the present officers OF the

the Cdiiiope on the same route, and between
the two boats there seems to be lively

| was informed that the more desirable To-
cations had nearly all been taken, bnt there
is some choice school and railroad lands yet
unoccupied, but the uncertainty as to how
title to this may be acquired prevents it
from being taken. On gazing from Cape
Horn mountain upon the green forests that
cover the hills to the north. a great change
is noticeable. The once impenetrable shades
are now enlivened by the sun, and the dewy
fern and moistened earth are now dried and
heated by the summer rays. The storm OF
last January did the work. and the up
turned roots, that look like little redsnounds
among the scattering trees, give but a faint
idea of the fearful ravages it made The
foothills, not many miles distant, still wore
the garb of winter. In the canyons and on
the north sides .he tops Of the trees were
just emerging from the snowy beds. and
even upon the treeless submits the white
banks were bidding defiance to the summer
sun.
The lateness of the season was in some
places visible, but the growing crops OF hay,

THANKs.-Mr. A. Ceilings of Fourth

that we should through these columns return
his most sincere thanks to his neighbors in
the country and to his friends in this city

labor and means to rebuild his dwelling
house, recently destroyed by fire; and he
wishes Ben. Holman particularly men
toned, for leaving other work and doing
other things to hasten the completion of the

a moment destroy the work of years, but
hope is renewed and life left worth living
for by such friendlincss as has been given to
him.

entitled "My knapsack, and other poems,

pen, and printed at the request of his chill
dren. Some of these poems, meritorous in
composition, We're first published in the

at Fort Vancouver, as long ago as 1861.
With permission we shall take occasion to
republish some of them. Major Eckerson,
who will doubtless be remembered by many
of our residents, is LOW stationed at Browns

WELL DEMONSTRATED. A good shot gun
is good thing, and will always do to boast
of. There was such an one in Vancouver,
and although it had blown one mans arm
nearly off it had only demonstrated that it
was dangerous to be in front of it, which
did not impair it's shooting qualities. and as
it was not the owners arm that suffered, his
statements concerning the strength of the
gun were lett undisputed. In fact, they
were taken for granted by brick-layer, one
of his employees, who took the gun out
duck shooting last week, and while out de-
termined to test the claim that the barrels
of the. gun could be filled half full of pow
der and fired without bursting them. Not
seeing any game he returned to Blurock's,
but after time Ed. Blurock saw some
ducks and went for them. He fired the
gun, but the recoil induced set of gyra-
tions and contortions that entirely took
from his mind all ide:. of whether the ducks
were hit or not. He picked himself up by
ain effort and while re pairing his shirt and
comforting information that if he had truly
tested the gun the other barrel should have
been fired. Next morning the brick Layer
tried the other barrel Dr. Smith was
called in to see the result. The mans face
appeared as though he had been looking
into blast when it went off. There was a
cash down his nose, and one side of that
useful member was caved in entirely, while
his mouth on one side had been extended
clear back to his ear. His shoulder was
sweled so that its internal condition could
not be ascertained. The gun was pro-
nounced beyond recovery, as the stock was
broken and the breech burst off. 1t has
been demonstrated twice by flesh and blood
that it is dangerous to stand at either end
of that gun under certain circumstances,
though it is no worse than other guns, only
for wear.

STEAMBOAT MEfTISG.-A meeting of the
citizens of Vancouver was held in Orc Elmo
hall on Tuesday evening. presided over by
). ID. Maxon, which considered the project
OF forming stock company to build boat
to be run between this city and Portland.
The matter was partially discussed by those
present, and portion OF the stock sub.
scribed. The meeting was finally adjourned
until Saturday evening, at the same place,
when the matter will be furtherer consid.
cred.

Proceedings Of the City Council.


The City Council met in regular session
on Monday evening, but the attendance
thereon was very light, the celebration of
national independence having drawn the
biggest crowd.
Only Councilmen Daniels, Lee, Leverch
and Wall were present. As usual Council
man Daniels was selected to preside during
the session.
A few claims were allowed, including the
city assessors bill of $50.
The council spent most of its time in re-
vising the assessment roll upon application
of persons who considered themselves as
sessed wrongfully. There We're but few
such cases, and most of them might be
considered as chronic. The fact was de-
veloped that in making the assessment the
assessor had raised the valuation of all the
property in the city to some extent, but as
the burden of taxation will fall upon all
equally it may be regarded as proper and le
gitimate. The revision will not be COM
pleted until the next session of the council.
The ordinance to restrain live stock from
running at large within the city limits was
indefinitely postponed, as it has been ascer-
tanned that Justice of the Peace in the city
of Vancouver under our ordinances pos
sesses no power except to order the ar
rest of individuals and fine them for oifenses
committed. He has no power under an or
dinance to condemn stock, and as the city
has no judicial officer of its own we are left
powerless and at the mercy of stock-owners,
which state of affairs compels citizens to
take the law into their own hands where
loose stock becomes too troublesome. This
state of affairs has become crying evil, and
it is to be hoped that a man will be sent to
the legislature from this city who has the
will as well as the ability to give us char
ter amendment that will legally remove our
affections in this respect.
The matter of the new fire cisterns was
brought up, but there was no disposition
manifested to accept the new csterns, for
the reason that they will not hold the
amount of water called for by the contract
1t is to be hoped that they never will be ac-
copied and paid for until they do come up
to the contract, for the city of Vancouver
has no money to throw away in holes in the
ground. The interests of the taxpayers
must be looked after as well as the interests
of the contractors. The city expects good
work, and has always been willing to pay
for it, and probably always will be.
The matter of base ball playing in the pub
lie streets, particularly on Main street, was
brought up, and a recital made of the vari.
Gus items of damage resulting therefrom. as
well as the severe thumps that aldermanc
heads had been subjected to. The windows
of buildings and stores have been damaged on
several occasions, and Main street much OBJ
structed thereby. The city marshal was in
structed to demonstrate with the young men
and boys indulging in the practice, and if
not abated, to proceed to prosecute under
the ordinance prohibiting obstruction of the
streets-to which all sober minded citizens
will say amen.
At ten o'clock the council and spectator
7. O'keane adjourned.

The FESTIVAL given at the Public Square
on Saturday by the ladies' of st. Luke's
Church parish was a very pleasant affair.
and as successful as pleasant Tables were
arranged on the large platform, with large
shades. There were plenty of refreshments,
and plenty of people to consume them.
When evening came the park was lighted
with lanterns and rehectors. 1t was after
ten O'Clock before the people dispersed. and
the ice cream having been exhausted there
was little more to stop for. Both the man
agement and and those who attended were
entirely satisfied, an agreement not often
reached on such occasions.
