OREGON SUITS HM.-Under this head the
Oregonian makes mention of Charlie Dehm,
formerly resident of this city, and says
G. X. Dehm, son of f. Dehm, of the
Dalles, who has been for some time in the
employ of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad, running through to Guaymas,
Mexico, is in the city. He !gives fearful
account of Ethe ravages of yellow fever at
Guaymas and the surrounding country. Mr..
Dehm considers himself fortunate in escap-
ing the clutches of yellow jack" several of
his friends having fallen victims to the dread
scourge. He does not give very iattering
account of Mexico as country in which to
work, the hot, sitting nights, at some sea-
sons, rendering sleeping impossible. He is
of the opinion that there is no place like Or
egen, and is glad to be back here once more.
He will, if possible, secure a position on the
N. p, and thinks the frosts and cold weather
of the upper country preferable to the heat
and yellow fever of Mexico.

DoWN IHE L OhON.-<A iodH Il TaHClSCO ulS-
patch gives the following short sketch:
Lieut. Schwatka of Arctic fame, who with
his party was picked up by Lieut.. Ray at
st. Michaels, speaking of his trip up the
Yukon river in Alaska, said they started
from Vancouver Barracks May 81. being de-
tailed by General Miles, commanding the
Department of the Columbia, to make an
exploration of the valley of the Yukon.
They travelled over 800 miles overland,
striking the headwaters of the river where
they constructed raft of logs to navigate
the stream to the mouth. They procured a
crew of six Indians, and proceeded down
the gradually increasing stream to within
twenty-five miles of Fort Chilcat, where
rapids were encountered. Down them the
Indians refused to 60 and attempted to force
the raft ashore. Schwatka, in order to sup
press mutiny, opened fire on the Indians,
killing three, when the others submitted and
the rapids were run. The voyage on the
raft was 1929 miles. From the Yukon they
proceeded to st. Michaels, where they
boarded the Leo for this port Scbwatka
claims that he has been fur Their up the Yu-
koh than any other white man. This is de-
MED 5y Signal Service Officer Leavett, who
has been stationed at st. Michaels, and who
also came down on the Leo. He says he as
cended the Yukon to TT. Selkrk, 2O0O miles
from the mouth. He describes the river as
being one of largest in the world, dscharg-
ing so per cent. more water than the Mis-
sissippi and at places seven miles in

Our AT LAsT.-A Portland paper touches
up some of Mr.. Wizards fine foreigners as
follows:
A prominent railroad official, disguised at
the ease and JUNCTION with which some of
''our visitors appropriated everything
within reach, was heard to remark, 81
don't wonder that Bismarck prohibited the
importation OF American pork; he has too
COMPOUNDED many hogs at home"
One of the English members of ''our WISH
tors showed so little appreciation of the
railroad company's sifolts to entertain the
party, and made himself personally so disa
greeable and obnoxious, that his company
was dispensed with in this city, and he was
given pass to return home alone.

SCHOOL BONDS. MIR. Shaw has introduced
H. B. No. 6, which authorizes school dis
trict No. 6, Vancouver, to borrow money to
pay indebtedness incurred for building
school house. The bill authorizes the bor-

years. The bill will probably pass the leg
islature without opposition.
