A PERILOUs VOYAGE.

%. ID. Clssry's Ride Down tho Rapids o.
= stick Of Bridge Timber.
Yesterday afternoon another accident
occurred at the Monroe street bridge.
which almost resulted fatally. 0. d.
Cleary, one OF the bridge carpenters, was
standing on one Of the lower bents Of the
temporary span over the middle of the
river, putting in some additional timbers,
when log was shot down through the
falls with great force. IL struck one of
the posts supporting the structure, snapped
which Mr.. Cleary was standing. Escape
was impossible, and the only thing left for
him TO do was TO cling 10 his frail support,
a stick of timber 6 by 10 inches and 30 feet
long. He shoused Justify for help, and
his companions on the work hastened TO
the rescue. He was swept down the
rapids at a terrible rate of speed, and was
frequently borne under by the breakers,
which he says are a great deal higher than
they appear to be from the shore. He was
apparently in imminent peril Of being
dashed to pieces against the rocks, and
those watching from the banks expected
every moment to see him swept of the
beam, bv the seethin9 torrent, and in that
event no earthly power could have saved
him. After he had been carried down the
stream the distance Of nearly mile rope
was thrown out, which he succeeded IN
catching. In the esgerness Of the rescuers
to tow him ashore the slack was taken up
with jerk, the timber was swung around
suddenly and borne to the bot
tom Of the river by the surging
tide. As he came up Cleary was stran.
gled and nearly lost his mold, but by
powerful effort he frightened his grasp and
was brought safely to land, with no other
injury than full grown scare and the
loss of his hat. He stated that two posts
were broken and that only one remained
to support the temporary center span, " which
il decidedly shaky and may he carried
away at any tine, as the river is rising
rapidly. Foreman Wiley said that only
one post was broken and there were four
remaining, but ne added that should an
other log come down during the night the
span might he carried away.

OK MINES.
The Outlook Very Bright for That Great
District.

Ahe outsoon vory bTifhe ior Ahot "fo0s
Every day brings to this city news Of
excellent mining prospects in the Okauo-
gan region and more especially that part
known as the Wanacut lake country. The
reports are not from interested or biased
sources but from persons in most cases
who have gone out to make impartial iu.
vestigation, with view to max
ing investments for themselves or
others. The Wanacut lake country lies
just west of the Okanogan river and only
few miles south of the British line. IL
is about thirty miles north of the Salmon
river country, in which the towns of Con-
connully and Ruby are situated. The
mineral of the Wanacut lake country is
composed largely of free gold and high
grade silver.
Speaking of some prominent Spokane
Falls mining men who recently visited
that region and passed through Daven-
port on their way home, the Times says:
The gentlemen report having had very
pleasant trip, and what is of far greater
interest to the residents of this locality,
they are pcofuse in their praise of the
mining country they visited. The party
only had IA limited time to make observa.
tions. Rich in that knowledge acquired
by years of experience, they are qualified
to speak intellIgently of whai they saw.
and they put in their time proftably
examining everything from Ruby
City to Wanacut Lake. They
state that they never saw a
more promising region. The leads are
very heavy and the ore looks rich. They
feel confident that vast amount of capital
will he invested in the district during the
present year, and it will eventually turn
out to be one OF the greatest camps in the
northwest Praise from such source JUS
titles us in predicting for Okanogan county
q boom in the near future only known and
experienced in rich mineral regions. II is
believed that the VISIT of these men will
result in a great good to- the country.
Salmon river has moved ahead slowly
heretofore but change for the better may
be expected At once

SAN FRANCIsCo. March 6.-Latest adj
vices from Apia state that during the past
month the German authorities, both con-
sular and naval, have maintained a state
Of inactivity. This state of affairs dates
back to the arrival Of the steamer Wainsi
with dispatches for the German conscl of
January 23, and Is no doubt the result of
orders then received. The declaration
or state OF war In the
become a dead letter while the military
occupation of Apia, which declaration OF
martial law would seem to havejimpied, +,
has no existence save the maintenance Of
strong guard ut the German consulate. A
guard is still kept up at the American
consulates. The German consul has made
repeated overtures to Mataafa look
ing toward the adjustment of
the quarrel and conclusion
Of peace but the terms proposed
always embodied strong German interest
in the future administration of affairs to
which Mataafa declares he will under no

OF Admiral Kimberly, having full faith in
the support of the United States. Tama-

opposing forces for long time. On Feb

virtually abrogates the necessity for the

rather partial aspect to the arbitrary act

Another fact proving the Germans recog.

is found in the reissue of the Samoan

was suspended by the German

Germany to Retain the Right to Punish

BERLIN, March 16 The Samoan con-
ference is not expected to present for
midable difficulties. Slight doubts are ex-
pressed az to the attitude Of America, but
the German government will do its utmost
to prevent friction, at the same
time maintaining Germany's full
right to deal with the Samoan
rebels. Confidence is felt here that a
peaceful disposition of all three powers
will render an agreement easy. Bismarck
ia in no way inclined in the present state
of European affairs to be drawn into a
colonial dispute. Vossische Zeitung says:
ut is to be regretted that the irritation
beyond the ocean has reached its present
extent and bitterness, aud 1t is in large
degree owing to the fault of German Off
cisls, but it flies beyond reasonable expec-
tation that the conference will lead to anv
other conviction than that there has been

PoRT TOWNSEND, March 15.--[Special. |
The steamer Walls Walla. of San
Francisco, plying to Puget Sound. was
seized by customs officers for emitting the
proper entries of freight on the inward
manifest. The steamer took four
barrels that were supposed TO contain
eauerkrout, which was taken through to
Tacoma without beiu0 entered on the cue
toms records. The freight list at Tacoma
showed that the barrels came from San
Francisco and were consigned to FL
lensburg. Shortly afterwards the barrels
were seized by customs officers and found
to contain opium valued at nearly Sl0,-
600. The barrels were put aboard the
steamer at Victoria secretly and taken
through to Tacoma. The penalty for false
entry in $1,000. The steamer was enroute
to Vancouver when she was seized to-day.
Late this evening she furnished
$4,000 bonds for appearance next
Monday for trial, The officials claim
they can prove conspiracy. Officers dis
claim all knowledge of the shipment OF the
barrels. The Tacoma customs officers
worked the case up, and think that many
hundred thousand dollars worth of opium
have been smugpled in this manner.
