MORE WATER. With the warm
rain of the past week the snow i'll
mountains has melted quite fast
and, as result, the river and
creeks are beginning to boom.
On Wednesday afternoon the
guage registered little over eight
feet above low water mark but
yesterday at p. IN. the fifteen foot
mark had been touched with water
still rising and just up in the build
ing on the q. r. & n. dock, foot of
Jefferson street. LATER.-This
Friday morning, at $50 o'clock,
the water has reached the II foot
mark and yet a comin.' Capt.
Raabe, of the steamer Hoag, re-
ports the Long Tom bottoms all
overf1owed and also the country
around Finley's warehouse. With
the hard rain of last night, no
doubt, by noon to-day the rise will
be still greater.

STATE COMMITTEE MEETING
The state republican committee
met Wednesday in Portland at the
st. Charles hotel, at II o'clock.
All counties except three were
represented and there were but
few proxies. Committees on call
and apportionment having been
appointed, the committee took re-
cess until two o'clock. In the
afternoon the delegates, number
ing 218, were, On report OF the
committee, apportioned among the
different counties, giving one dele
gate at large to each county, and
one delegate for each 175 votes
cast for Binger Herman in 1888,
or fraction over one-half. This
gives Benton county eight dele
gates. The state convention was
called to meet at Portland, April
10th, prox. An effort was made
to have the convention at Salem
but it failed, the vote standing
Portland IA, Salem 8. The call
invites all voters who believe in
American markets for American
productions, in the right of every
voter in the nation to cast a free
ballot and have it honestly
counted, and in a liberal support
of our common schools, to unite
in selecting delegates to this con-
vention. The utmost harmony
prevailed and every member re-
ported bright prospects for a re-
publican victory in June.

A FIRE ALARM.-A few taps of
the fire bell brought the fire boys
and apparatus out on Friday last
about noon, but their services
were not needed. A chimney had
been burning out in the rear Of
Allen & Woodward's drug store,
in the Fischer building, during the
forenoon and some of the smoke
had found its way between the
bricks and had become so dense
in the Odd Fellows hall that it
was noticed coming out of the
window. Judge Bryson and others
soon had the room opened and the
smoke was cleared out. A bucket
of water stopped further proceed
ings in the chimney.

lately from the east, while stand
ing, with two companions, close
to the edge of the bank of the
river at the foot OF Jefferson street
on Sunday last, attempted the
mash act on a certain young lady
of this city, and, in attempting
to make rery polite bow step
ped backwards a little too far and,
before he saw his mistake, was
precipitated to near the waters
edge-nearly forty feet straight
down. Strange as it may seem,
he received no injuries, but his
Sunday go to meeting clothes were
literally besmeared with dirt and
his little footsy-tootsies came In
contact with the water. His COM
panions assisted him in getting up
the bank. and he then proceeded
to his place of lodging to secure
change of'wearing apparel. He
will be more careful in the future
how he acts-especially when
along the water front. The girls
"took tumble" also and hied
themselves home.

Mail Carriers on Wheels.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November Is.
The experiment of the Washington
postoffice in mounting mail collectors
on bicycles has proven successful.
After several months trial with rent
ed machines the office has purchased
outright a number of bicycles of uni
form pattern. A regular system of BIZ
cycle collections has been arranged.
Bicycles have almost entirely dis
placed the one-horse carts for COL
lections, except in the suburbs and
in the heart of the business section,
where the collections are too heavy
for the wheelmen. There are now in
all twenty-four mounted collectors,
and the hours of duty are from 5 q.
m. to 8 p. M, the force of men being
divided up into two reliefs, SO that
no one, of course, has to work all
that time. a bicycle is cheaper than
a cart and horse both at the outset
and ever afterward, and some of the
men are said to prefer pushing to
driving. There are always some men
who do not like horses, and these
are pleased with the innovation.
This satisfaction is not universal,
however, for some men are
only too glad to have the
chance to drive and care for a horse.
They would rather drive than push.
Not all the work of collection, how
ever, is done by mounted men, for on
certain of their trips the regular let.
ter-carrlers collect as they go. But,
as compared with collectors on foot
the mounted men are much the more
valuable. 1t has been the experience
at the Washington, Post Office that
two men on wheels can do the work
OF three men on loot. The new sys-
tenn is a success and has evidently
come to stay.

Crooked Letter-Carriers.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia new phase
of the green-goods swindle has come
to light through Investigations insti-
tuted by Chief Post Office inspector
Rath bone, stationed at Washington.
He learned that many Post Office at
taches, principally letter carriers,
were Ia collision with green
goods men. A rule strict
~ enforced is that no carrier
shall deliver letters that bear sus.
picious addresses to the places to
which they are directed, and the let
ter-sorters are directed to mark such
"K. D." which commits them for
examination by the proper authori-
ties. Chief Rathbone came to this
city and conferred with local inspec-
tors. Investigation conceded the
inspectors that fifteen letter-carriers
at least were implicated. In the
cases of seven OF them the proof was
conclusive that they were in league
with the green-goods swindlers, and
their names were sent to Washington
with q recommendation to Postmas-
ter General Wanamaker that they
be dismissed. Some of the ac-
cused confessed that the swind-
lers paid them SIS per week
not to carry out their instructions
with respect to letters that reached
their hands, in some cases q letter
carrier would receive stipends from
three or four different green-goods
swindlers. The names of these car
riers are withheld pending action in
their cases at Washington. They
were caught by means of q large num-
hey of decoy letters addressed to the
headquarters of various green-goods
men. These letters were delivered,
while they should have been returned
to the postoffiee, according 10 instruc-
tions.

In Hotter Water.

CEDAR RAPIDS, To-, November l5.-
Grand Secretary w. H. Daniels, of
the Order of Railway Conductors,
was asked about the acquittal of
Wheaton, ex-Grand Chief. He said:
"The charges of disloyalty to the
order was made against Wheaton
through sympathy and the wish not
to injure him any more than was
necessary, and it was through the
sympathy of personal friends that he
was acquitted. He will now have to
answer 10 more serious charges. This
is hardly matter for the public, and
that is all care to say about it.

Dishonest Railway Clerks.

COLUMBUS, o., November ia
conspiracy has been unearthed on the

res ted and gave bond for appearance

agent, and lately rate clerk of the
Panhandle railroad at Pittsburg, is
under surveillance, and has made q
confession of the part he had in the
alleged conspiracy. Elmer ellison,

Questioning a woman's Eligibility.


JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, November 10.
1t is altogether likely that Mrs.
Anna Baxter, who was elected county
clerk of Jasper on the democratic
ticket, may fail to hold the office, as.
there is much doubt here in official
circles as to the eligibility of woman
to hold such an office under the pro-
visions of section No. 1865 Of the re-
vised statutes of 1859. This section,
in defining the qualifications of coun-
ty clerks, specifies in no less than
three places that The gender must be
masculine. Mrs. Baxter was made a
deputy county clerk under an opinion
of A ttorney General Boone that she
was eligible. 1t may be that no ques-
ton will be raised and that she will
receive her certificate of election, but,
at any rate, there is no little discus
sion here about the matter.
