Thursdays Daily.
Mr.. Chas. Allison informed our reporter
this morning that brother of I. H. Taffe,
proprietor of the Cello cannery and fishery,
yesterday afternoon, crossed the river with
two Indians in boat; but in returning the
current caught the craft and carried it over
the Tumwater falls. Mr.. Taffe is an excel.
lent swimmer, and managed to reach rock
in the center of the falls, but inaccessible
from either side. In this perilous condition
he remained all night, with the angry pillows
washing around him. No news was received
of the catastrophe until this morning, when
word reached this city, and several men
went to the rescue of Mr.. Taffe. To spend
a night on desolate rock in the Columbia
river is not at all desirable; but Mr.. Taffe
is a man of splendid physical powers, and
his endurance is beyond computation. We
have heard nothing of him since, but pre-
sumo he has been rescued from his peril ere

Sold His Bonds.


C. Herman, assistant to the general
manager of the o. 6 w. T., was in the
city this morning on his return from
Portland. He was met by Attorney Leas-
ure at the depot. Both are enthusiastic
over the turn affairs have taken in the
east. Mr.. Hunt has ou'generaled his op-
ponents and succeeding in disposing of
his bonds, despite the strenuous opposi-
tion of the Union and Northern Pacific,
both of which were bent on freezing him
out" and will start August Sd on his re-
tDrn trip from New York. He will arrive
here, probably, on the 10th. II is learned
tia: on the lst sufficient money will be at
hand to liquidate all claims against the
D. s. w. 7. MIR. Hunt. who is now very
large man in railway circles, as he de.
serves to be, is prepared TO carry out all
his projected lines. He has been victori-
GUS in his fight. 1t was case OF western
vim, push, determination and sound sense
against eastern diplomacy.
The victory means this-an independent
line, competing for the business of this
section against the two Pacific, Northern
and Union, and connecting with the Great
Northern at some point on the Sound.
Eastern Oregon will be given the benefit
of three competing lines instead of two,
and the people NAV thank Mr.. Hunt, who
has kept his promise to them that he
would dispose OF his road to no corpora
ton.

A Perilous Descent.
CELLO, Or, July 81, 1890.


Editor TIaEs-MoUSrAIsEER:
Yesterday the watchman of the Cello
cannery had business across the river and
on returning to the Oregon side started to
cross little too close to the rapids, and
was carried over; feat which was never
performed before and any Of the crew lived
to tell it. The boat was in every way sea-
worthy, rs it proved to be, and csrried the
occupant safely over TO projecting rock,
which it touched and he jumped out. The
boat went on and the man was landed on u
rock in the middle of a terrible river. A
party of Indians residing and making their
living by fishing for the Cello Fishery came
there and said if they had paddles and a
canoe corked they would 60 and take the
man off. Everything they requested was
done, which consumed several hours. Then
the Indians concluded that six of them
would be required to do it and their charges
would be $25 per man or $3.50 for the job.
Mr.. Geo. Cozel and his friend fishermen"
close by came and rescued the man in
fifteen minutes, and would not charge one
cent. Please give our noble red citizens
what they are entitled to, and, also the
whites. !. Fl. T.

forced up when the mountain went down

The theory of the discoveries Is that the
mountain was located over vast cave

the sinking mass of rocks and drifts and
trees was heard several miles away, but
the parties did not know until recently
what caused it. The lake cannot be

of fire, thousands of acres of good range is
destroyed, and the forest kept ablaze dur

The law of Oregon is very binding upon

system of roads near Pasco. The people of
southern Gillian county are willing to pay
the same rates to Tacoma and Seattle as
they now pay to Portland, with view
thereby of encouraging the inauguration OF
such an important enterprise. 1t behooves
the farmers of Sherman county to act in
similar spirit and ship their grain by this
route to Tacoma or Seattle instead OF to
Portland. The scheme is one which should
be encouraged by the people of this section
as it may ultimately be the means of bring
ing Us q railroad. MIR. Hunt will return
from New York in few days to commence
work ON the building of his road to Port
land, and he may be induced to give this
section branch road IT he can be brought
to see that the trade of Sherman county
would justify him in doing so.
