WASHINGTON, March s. Indian inspec-
tor Pollock has rendered his re ignation
to take effect on the 3lst. Secretary Eel
lerhls udy selected his SUCCESSOR.
A statement Of the receipts and cxpcn,
ditures of the Post Office Department
for the third quarter of the calendar
year ended Sept. 30, 1882, shows receipts,
Si0,235, ,932 expenditures. SO OlSS,965;
surplus, S3j6,953. During the same
quarter of 1851, the receipts were $780,
906; expenditures, $9.GS6,SlO; excess of
expenditures over receipts, $l96lO4.
Secretary Folger directed N. W. Burg
ham and q. e. Chamberlain, special
agents of the Treasury Department, to
proceed to san Francisco and Portland
for the purpose OF making thorough in
vestgatlon OF the whole subject Of the
importation at those ports of sugars free
of duty under the Hawaiian treaty. 1t
will be remembered that Representative
Perry Belmont made minority report
to Congress on this subject, in which he
referred to the exclusive frauds alleged
to have been petpetrat7d on the revenue
AZ the ports III question under the treaty
with the Hawaiian Islands.
The Treasury Department today pur-
chased $4,000 ounces Of silver for the
mints.
Twelve new liCe-saving stations will
be established this season, four Of them

Ri: lyn migration.

SAN Francisco, March 9.--Immigra-
ton to the Northwest has greatly in
creased during the past SIX weeks, and
private adyiceS received here state that
u large current, intending settling, will
commence shortly, continuing through
the summer. Since the opening OF the
Southern route, Oregon and Washington
Territory, principally the latter, haye
been the objective points Of upwards Of
half the immigrants coming west, Busi-
ness has assumed such proportions that
outgoing steamers for points in that vi
cinity OF future settlements have carried
heavy steerage lists, including quite a
formidable number of tirst-class passen-
gers, who intend settling there perma-
nently. AS general rule only an ap-
proXimate idea can be formed Of the total
number OF immigrants going north, on
account of the absence OF the statistics
of those arriving from the East on the
Southern route The record of arrivals
on the Central Pacific, as given at the
Office of the Oregon immigration Com
missioner, in this city, shows steady
increase for February, amounting to Il
minimum of 275, exclusive of those who,
though arriving during that time, have
not yet started for their destination. 1t
is estimated that at the least calculation
the arrivals of northwest settlers by the
southern route amount to double these
figures for corresponding period. Dur
ing the present month to date they num-
Der 70, with a probable increase OF 80 to-
morrow.

LONDON, March 9,-Owing to the
steady pressure Of the Irish party, no
progress has been made with Che busi-
ness OF the Commons. 1t is now doubt
ful whether any bill Of Importance can
reach the second stage until after Easter.
1t Is already pfophesied by competent
judges that the session will be an utter
failure. After Forster's debate the most
important event Is the discussion of the
distress in Ireland Irish members Of
nearly all sections have joined in the at
tack on Earl Spencer's policy. Spencer
is resolved to force his emigration
schemes at all hazards Ii is thought,
however, that GladstOnes return may
impede this policy, as the anti-Irish Sec
uon OF the cabinet has been weakened.
A strange sign Of the times is Lord
Landsdowne, one OF the largest land
owners in Ireland, proposing an eXten-
sion OF the purchase clauses Of the land
act, declaring his conviction that peasant
ownership is the only practical solution
OF the Irish land question. He is sup
ported by Lord Dunraven and the Mar
qulS OF Waterford, two Irish landlords,
ana Earl Conner, late Viceroy OF Ireland

LoCtie Crabtree.

PORT ANGELES, w. IT,, March ., 1888.
EDITOR ARGUs:-I have noticed sew
eral articles in various papers concerning
Miss Lottie Crabtree, the celebrated ac-
tress from the Pacific coast, with sketch
es OF her early history, some Of which
are wrong and an injustice to her, par
ticularly that copied from the New York
letter, which says she first started i'll a
San francisco dire. Now, allow me,
an old Californian, who knows the facts
in the case, to correct that mistake, end
give little Lottie the full credit due her
in the way she made her first start to
professional fame.
Away back in the fifties, in the then
Aourishng mining town called Rabbit
Greek, now called La Porte, Sierra
county, Mr.. and Mrs. Crabtree, were
working for wages in mining claim,
when, by accident, he got his leg broken,
and was laid up for long time. In the
mean llHe mTS' OlupIIec lOOh Ill "dSu
ing for the miners. Lottie was then a
very little girl and, full of life and MINI
icing, she would whistle jig and sing
Whisky in the Jar for the miners, to
their great delight. This was herfavorite
song, which she sang and acted like an
artist. Many an evening the miners
would assemble at Mrs Crabtree's log
cabin to see and hear Lottie sing. About
this time one Of the many travelling
companies came to Rabbit Greek and

advertised to perform on a certain night
think 1t WAS called the SUgcr Troupe
The miners, thinking it would help Mrs
Crabtree, and glyc Lotto a chance be.
fore the footiights, where she had never
been before, went To Mr.. Soger, the man.
ager, and asked him il he would include
Lotto in his programme, ard they would
give him Il rousiug house, which he dc.
alincd to do making the remark that he
was not travelling to instruct noyices
The result was that the miners held
cancUs ana concluded to get up some
thing on their own uccount, with little
Lottle as the centre. At that time there
was considerable local talent scattered
among the mining camps. Mr.. Bernard.
atterward the celebrated interlocutor for
several minstrel troupes, was then living
at Rabbit Creek and organized an anna
teur company 10 perform the same night
that the Sager troupe did. The conse.
Guence was Sager was very sorry ne did
not accept the miners proposal ard give
Lotte Il chance, for he had but few for
an audience, and left the camp the next
day in disgust, whic the amateur house
was crowded and Lottie did her best,
and was loudly applauded, especially in
her Whisky in the Jar The proceeds
OF the house were handed to Mrs. Crab
tree, which was a great help to Ler then
in her great trouble, A few weeks after
ward the celebrated Mart Taylorcame to
the camp with troupe, and hearing of
Sager's mishap, Immediately went to
Lottes mother and asked her if she
would permit Lottie to perform with his
troupe, which she granted. Taylor was
well satisfied with her acting that he
persuaded Mr.. Crabtree to engage Lottie
to him at SO much per week, her mother
to accompany her. About this time Mr..
Crabtree was well and could take care of
himself. She accepted Mart's offer, and
Miss Lottie became one of the troupe,
and for the first time appeared on the
bills as a professional actress The COM
pany started out and the second place
she performed at was Brandy City, Sier-
II county, where, being snow-bound the
troupe played about ten nights always
having full houses, and Miss LOttie the
favOrite. From there they went to sev-
eral other mining camps, and when the
season was over went to San Francisco,
wheroshe got an engagement at Gilberts'
and at once established her fame as an
artist. Her best role then was Topsy in
Uncle Toms Cabin. After th | lost
the run Of her until her appearance in
the East, where she also was a great IA
vorite. Any one who says Lottie COM
menced her stage career in San Fran
cisco dive does her and her excellent
mother an injustice, and il any one 'le-
serves the credit Of bringing her out it is
Mart Taylor, who some years ago told
me- that Miss Lottie had sent him
check for thousand dollars to one of
his children named after her. Lf this
should meet the eye Of Lottie she will at
once remember the writer of this article
by going back in memory tc SNOWFALL

Another Fire.

#&&%8&@
The residence of William Evans, on
the Missouri, about four miles below
town, was destroyed by fire yesterday
afternoon. The smoke was plainly seen
from this place, and at the time it was
supposed to be a straw stack or some
thing of the kind. Billy Rowe, believ-
ing it was his hay stacks on fire, got INFO
his buggy and drove down, and from
him WI learn the following particulars:
A little girl of.Mr. Evans went up stairs
and, child like, was playing with match
es, and by some means started the fire,
which at once gained full Roadway, and
the little one barely managed to escape.
Before the alarm was given the fire was
under such Roadway that nothing could
check it, and but very few articles were
saved. The house was a comfortable
story and a half building, which, with
it's contents, is valued at between 81, 500
and 81 ,OOO-a clear loss, as there was no
insurance. The loss is a heavy one for
Mr.. Evans. He loses about everything
he had, and is certainly deserving much
sympathy.

LOST ON TIE PRAIRIE.
A. nj. Rowles' Terrible Experience Near
Twenty-E,ight Mile Springs.

A. NJ. RoWles, of Sun River, 50 well
known in Benton, came very near being
frozen to death on Tuesday. He was
en- route to Sun River with a. load Of
freight, and had gone about two and a
half mills beyond the Twenty-Eight
Nile springs when he was caught in a
terrible storm, such Q one as his horses
could not face. HecGncluded to unhitch
and ride back to the springs, and in do
ing 50 lost his way, and wandered about
on the prairie several hours in the fierc-
est storm Of the year. After going about
nine miles out OF his way he saw by a
familiar landmark, IS he knows every
loot OF that country, that he was going
steps, arriving, by accident more than
anything else, at the TWenty-Eight Mile
house just before dark, He was hardly
able to speak when he rode up to the
house, and had to be lifted from the
horse and carried in. His face, hands,
n other portions of his body We're
badly frozen, and it was feared for a time
that he would not recover from the eff
fects Of his injuries. Mr.. Evans and
some Of his guests worked with him
nearly all night, and next day when
the coach left he was much better, but
still suffering intensely. Mrs. Taylor, of
0Taylor's Tourists who were stopping
at the springs at the time, rendered most
valuable assistance. She remained by
his side all night, preparing warm
drinks, and in many ways, suggested by
her woman's instinct, aided in bringing
him through.
Mr.. RoWles is 81 years of age, and for
such an old man his powerof endurance
was wonderful. Few men, even though
much younger, would have lived
through such terrible experience. He
had, indeed, a narrow escape from death,
and we trust that his injuries will not
prove as serious as reported.

It Pays to Advertise IS in the River Press,

IF required Baker 8 DeLorimier will
come forward and make solemn oath to
the fact that advertising pays. Yester-
day morning they had a page flyer" in
the RIVER Press announcing big bar
gains. They expected it would proba-
bly, double the average days sales, but if
anybody had told them-especially the
newspaper man-that, in the face of a
fierce blizzard, their store would be
crowded all day with purchasers, mostly
ladies, they would probably have ac-
cepted the statement with a good deal Of
allowance, or not accepted it at all. But
such was the case, and It shows the pow
er Of printers ink. Their sales yester-
day amounted to several hundred
dollars.

Ellis of Sioux Falls. His subject,
After the Battle" is one that will
