At Alexander Island.


National Fencibles decided not to enter the
drill to be held in Connection with the Grange
Camp fair at Alexander Island on next FRI
day, September q. No action has as yet
been taken by the champions in regard to
the Richmond and Cocoran Cadet Corps
drills. The decision was hailed with Joy and
removed load of anxiety from the minds
of the members of the companies that have
entered.
The Emmett Guard has concluded to en-
gage in the Alexander Island drill IL it can
get Its drill team together. The Emmets
will not go to Richmond.
The Morton Cadets have made creditable
progress during the short time they have
been drilling, and will undoubtedly make an
excellent showing across the river. The
Mortons expect also to go to Richmond and
to compete in the drill to be held at the
National Base Ball Park.
The Ordway Rifles and the Columbian
Zouaves will not participate in any of the
drills.
Capt. Edwards states enphatically that
the Corcoran Cadet Corps will not partici-
pate in the Alexander Island competition,
but is getting in shape for it's visit to Rich
mond and for the drill to be held under its
own auspices. The latter event Is prac-
tcally az a standstill, as nothing can be
done until Mr.. j. E. Wagner OF the base
ball club makes known the dates when the
park may be used. A handsome program In
book form Is being prepared as a souvenir
Of the drill.
The Merriam Pack.
The new Merriam pack. which was recently
adopted by the authorities for use in the
National Guard OF the state Of New York, Is
Q very peculiar-looking affair when strapped
on q soldiers back. 1t takes the place Of
the old knapsack, q Continuance that has
always ben the bane Of a soldiers life.
On the recommendation Of the board, the
state purchased 1900 Of these packs re-
Gently. They were used for the first time
az the state camp at Peeks:fill this year.

THE REV. SAM DRIVER.


The Bee, OF Sacramento, CAL, has
the following to say about man who
Is well known throughout this part OF
the country: 1.-THE sudden departure
of a popular minister with about 81 900
of borrowed money In his pockets, the
desertion OF his wife and several chill
dren and the simultaneous disappear
ance Of an attractive widow, form the
scandal which lie raging in the foothlll
town OF Placerville. About eight
months ago Rev. s. M. Driver arrived
In Placerville to take the pastorate Of
the Methodist Episcopal church there.
He was about 45 years Of age, smoothe
shaven and good looking. He was
accompanied to his new field by his
wife and four children. The pastor
about week ago expressed to his
friends a desire to go to a Methodist
conference which was soon to begin In
another part of state. 1t was these
representations which enabled him to
borrow In sums ranging from $40 to
$500, something in the neighborhood
OF $1,000. Reports differ as to the
aggregate. A week ago Monday the
pastor left, presumably for the confer
ence. 1t was soon discovered that the
widow had flown after him. He has
written from Lodi, San Joaquin coun-
ty, TO the church officers, resigning the
pastorate, and the office has been de-
clared vacant. 1t is said he will be
brought back and prosecuted. He
leaves his family destitute and his lS-
year-old daughter is at deaths door
as a result OF the scandal. lie had
charge OF a small church in stockton

How to Keep Ice.

A very simple but little known
method of keeping ice is to draw a
piece of thick flannel tightly over some
deep yessle, like q howl, for instance,
and fasten it there. The ice is placed
on top Of this drumhead and covered
loosely by another piece flannel. In
this condition the ice keeps cold and
even freezes to the flannel. Thus q
small piece of ice can be kept long
time, TO break the ice sharp needle
or hat pin is the best thing. Force It
in and you will be astonished to sec
how easily il will divide the ice.

High Waters In Portland.

First and Front streets were points
of great interest and attraction to
hundreds of citizens this week. For a
distance of several blocks, Front street
was under the dominion of water and
looked like lagoon. For the time
being, the Willamette asserted herself
in an unmistakable manner. Since
Sunday the volume of water has stead
lily increased, unit, the food has
encr0ached on the confines of Front
street and then reached to embrace
First street. The water at the foot Of
Stark street indicates height of 25
feet and the river is steadily rising.
To those doing business along the
water front, this altitude is fraught
with significance. 1t simply means
that first floors must be abandoned,
and all stocks must be removed, with
out delay, one story hight. All along
Front street very busy and exciting
scene is being enacted. There crowds
of men and many teams, and no end
to splashing and wading about. All
the merchants on the east side Of
Front street are very busily engaged
in the removal of all goods that can BE-
damaged by water. No damage has
vet done.

Save Your Ashes.

The Medford Mail says wood ashes
are worth from $22 to $40 per ton for
use for fertilizers in the eastern states,
yet you can find an ash pile in the
rear of nearly every farmhouse in this
country. Theyare worth Just as much
to farmers here as they are in New
York and Pennsylvania. If properly
used they will return to you their val
ue in crops. They are particularly
rich IN the elements that contribute to
the growth of fruit Many of these
apparently trivial matters are the leaks
that take away the profits of the farm
and cause the farmers to announce
that farming don'tpay" Poor farm
ing don't pay, nor ever will.

FOSTER, Or, May'2s, 1894.
To THE EDITOR or THE EXPRESS.
II is plainly evident that the chair
men and committees of the several
parties know times are hard, and
voters are all out Of employment, SO,
they each have different day to
speak at the several precincts. We
shall try to remember them for their
kindness and vote for all the law will
allow. The republican nominees made
good impression when they spoke at
Foster and Sweet Home, and every
one was sure they were just the bows.
and now since the democrats spoke.
why, every man you meet says II am
going to vote for Whitney. He is tho
friend of the people and I will also
vote for that tall crooked-footed fellow
they call "Wid" because unless Whit.
ney has helped in the senate, he can
do nothing. In fact it is necessary that
we have a fulllegislative .icket,. There
Will be many republicans who will
vote for Patterford county commission
er, and many democrats will vote for
Morris for Treasurer but with few ex-
ceptions each party will poll strictly a
party vote, and the peoples party
republicans and democrats are very
evenly divided; there will be about 2SO
votes cast and 80 will be about the
strongest vote cast Yet few men
who have warm dinners here will poll
from 100 to lis votes.

The reason given for the injunction was
that the clerk had usurped the powers
