The HEALTH MEETISG.-The adjourned
meeting OF the citizens of Vancouver inter
ested in the public health movement assem-
sembled in Brant's hall on Friday evening,
according to appointment. Mr. n. ii.
Bloomfield was appointed chairman, and j.
j. Beeson secretary. The committee OF five
made very exhaustive report, which was
read. DR.. +. l. Bailey being called upon,
fully endorsed the report. He also took &C.
casion to extend his remarks of week pre-
vious, dwelling upon the Importance of hav-
ing clean ground to build our houses upon,
to keep the grounds clean, and to exercise
the greatest care in ventilation, drainage
and sewerage. DR.. Randolph Smith advo-
Gated prevention instead of cure though
medicine was his profession, he believed in
prevention quite as much as in cure, and
dwelt particularly upon reducing the num-
Der of smells and amount OF general nasti-
ness to the smallest possible amount. After
these remarks the report Of the committee
was accepted and adopted. On motion c.
+. West, J. T. Goss and A s. Nicholson
were appointed a committee to present and
explain this report to the city council. 1t
was moved and carried that the meeting, on
behalf OF the citizens of Vancouver, invite
DIR. Randolph Smith to deliver lecture on
dphtheria in Brants hall on Thursday
evening April ODD. Dr. Smith responded,
accepting the invitation, stating that though
he Was not public speaker, yet he would
endeavor to give the public all he knew of
it. The thanks OF the meeting were ex-
tended to DR.. Bailey for his address and in.
terest in the health movement, after which
the meeting adjourned.

In announcing the retiracy to pri.
vate life of Gov. f. p. Ferry ii is due
to him to say that, taken Is "a whole,
his administration of the affairs of the
Territory during the past eight years
has been good Like all men he has
made mistakes; the greatest one, we
believe, was the approving of the pres
ent revenue law of the Territory. Had
he vetoed it in message setting forth
its absurdities and explaining the
hardships it intiicts on all classes of
the inhabitants of the Territory, we
believe he would have caused the peo-
BILE, without regard to party, to de-
mand his retention in office. The fail
ure to veto the unpopular revenue law
will prevent many people from regret
ting Mr.. Ferry's retiracy from office
1t is understood that Gov. Ferry would
be willing to succeed Delegate Brents
as Delegate. If he has such a desire,
it would be well for him, before enter
ing upon the canvass, to prepare a
complete defense of the revenue law
and justification of his approval of
it, or he will enevitably 'get left when
the votes are counted. Wdtid Watid

generosity on the part of a child the Recie,o
says: "We believe that it will interest our
readers to know that this sum represents
the savings of a little boy who is neither
Irish nor Catholic, but who having heard
from an Irish friend some of the brave deeds
of the Irish and some of their present suffer-
ings, insisted that his nurse should send the
accumulations of his penny bank to the Irish
poor. Need we say that there is future in
store for that generous lad:'

From WHITE SALMoN-The weather at
White Salmon has been mild and pleasant,
and the prospects for large fruit crop, in
GLIDING peaches, are very good. The peach,
cherry and plum trees were in bloom last

that on the opposite side OF the river. Many
new settlers have lately taken up land, and
are putting in grain and vegetables.

RIVER PROSPECTS,. The Columbia has
fallen foot during the week. An exchange
says that parties from the Snake river coun-

ably, although yet several feet above low
water mark. The snow lies deep in the
mountains, but melts slowly, and should it
continue cold until the middle of May and
then become warm, high water ma, be
looked for. At present the prospect is good
for flood, yet it is doubtful.

tered in this city by some contemplate per.
sons, stealing provisions being their chief
object. Last Saturday night they entered
the residence of Mrs. A. Schaeben, cutting
a hole in the panel of the door large enough
to admit the hand and unlocking the door
from the inside. They carried away enough
provisions toiast themfor while, but during
the meantime we would advise everybody to
see to their doors and windows. and should
they receive call from these light.fngered
sconndrels give them dose Of cold lead,
which they deserve. Any persons who are

Mr.. EDITOR:
We respectfully invite our fellow citizens
to meet with us at the City hall on Monday
evening, the 26th inst, at 7 p NJ, for the
purpose of considering and exchanging views
on the question of narrow gauge railroad
from this place to the city of Portland. We
are credibly informed that responsible par
ties will undertake and obligate themselves
to build and put such road in operation by
the end of this year, upon the performance
of certain conditions by the citizens of Van
couver and others. We are of opinion that
the road would help materially to increase
our population and enhance the value of
property, and is therefore entitled to our
earnest consideration.

it may be added, "These, sir, are the
