here On a telegram from Newberry
charging him with obtaining money
under false pretences, was dismissed
yesterday, the accused having sue
ceeded in compromising the case.
Officer J. D. Smith, Of Newberry, who
had come up for Gaines, gave him the
option of returning to Newberry, a
prisoner or settling up the claim against
him, Gaines chose to pay up aud did
so. Mr.. Smith will return to New
berry without his prisoner.
Gaines says that the charge against
him was a trumped up one. He says
there are some people in Newberry
who don't like his carrying negroes
away from there and who got up this
charge to get him to return to New
berry to he persecuted.-Greenvilie

Gaines borrowed money from a
colored man in Newberry that he
promised to return, and failed to do
so until he got in limbo. The idea of
his being "persecuted" is al bosh.

EARLY TRANSPORTATION,

How the Willamette River Traffic Was
Handled in Former Days.
The following interesting accoun. of early
transportation on the Willamette is taken
from the memoirs of the late George T..
Allan, formerly of Mckinley & Co., of Ore
gon City. The memoirs are at present in the
possession of Editor Cornwall of the Cath
lamet Gazette, and the extract following
was published in that paper under date of
October ed:
LAS neither steamboats, nor railways in
1S49 were yet heard of in Oregon, we had tw O
large batteauX or boats built at Fort Van
couver and named them the 'Skookum
Chuck and: Tum Water which mean, in
the Indian dialect, strong water and water
falls, such as are at Oregon City. We took
them to Oregon CITY and commenced carry
ing passengers and freight between that
ness. To insure dispatch we manned the
boats each with different tribe of indians
the Kliktats and Spokanes. Sometimes
Mckinley and took a trip to encourage our
crews, and afterward we picked up an old
English captain whose vessel had been seized
ami condemned by the Government for load
ing spars on the American side of the sound,
when we put in command. From his bluff
manner and general appearance manned him
Dick Haterick.' Of Guy Mannering men,
DRY. He had 10 resign his position, as the
natives rose in arms against him."
Mr. Allan informed the editor of the Ga
Zette, previous to his death, that the fare
was $50 for the trip between Oregon City
and Portland, and the Indians were paid SIS
at each end of the line for their services.

GERS: President. J. +. Sullivan; Vice-Pres-
ident, Fl. Wolf; Secretary, L. E. Newman /;
Treasurer, Gilbert Pringle; Sergeant-at-
arms, A. Lindenbaum.
