THE ,Imne Rise

Notwithstanding the cool weather and
rain for the past 10 daye, the Columbia
has been gradually rising, says the st.
Helens Mist. Stockmen and others on
the low lands have watched the water
gauge each day and hour almost, hoping
at any minute to zee it come to etand
STILL and hoping against fate that they
would not have to abandon their homes,
but they have found that hope did not
stop the water, and proceeded to embark
for higher grounds About the only man
left on Sauvie's island ia Frank Dow,
whose place is somewhat higher than
the general lay OF the land, but he, too.
will be compelled to vacste should the
water come three or four feet higher. 1t
looks now as If the water would remain
high for some time, inasmuch as there is
said to be great deal OF snow in the
mountsins; in fact, more than usual at
this season Of the year. The lateness of
the seaeon whep tie water shall recede
from the bottom lands will hardly give
the grass time to make hay before the
fall rains, and it will also be too late for
potatoes, great many of which are
usually raised on the Columbia bottoms.
The limit of water 10 not yet reached,
and the weather conditions will have to
do with the extent of the flood, 30 that
at the present all is speculation.

Railroad to be Sold

The sales of the o. R.&N railr oad and
it's branches has been advertised to take
place July 10, 1896. The main line rum
ming from Portland to Huntington will
be sold at Fairview. What is known as
the Washington branch will be sold at
Starbuck and the Elgin branch will be
sold at Island City. The 0regonisn has
the following to say regarding the reor-
ganization of the road:
THE reorganization of the company,
as nearly as can be understood, is to be
effected by the purchasing committee,
after they have purchased all the prop
critics turning them over to new COM
pany, which will reorganize the whole
concern under their old name, and
which, If present arrangements are CAR
ried ont without mischance, will get
possession and control of all the proper
ties August /, OF perhaps sooner.
Zone of the things connected with the
reorganization OF the company which
will give great satisfaction to g large
number Of people, is the fact that large

VERDICT WILL STAND
Powderly's Claim Against the
K'of L. Must Be Paid.
NO FUNDS IN TREASURY
A Special Assessment May Be
Levied.
NO FUNDS IN TREASURY


Although the general executive boards
Of the knights CT Labor has entered an
appeal against verdict OF the Philadel-
phia court giving ex-General Master
Workman Powderly total of $4225 for
arrears in salary due him and for SER
vices rendered while occupying that
position, it is practically conceded by
officers of the organization that the ver-
dict will stand, and that the claim will
have to be paid. Where the funds are
to come from, however, is question
which will give the officers considerable
concern before it is settled. The board
has been living from hand to mouth for
some time past, and it is said that the
salaries and expenses of several of the
leading officers and organizers are con-
siderably in arrears. There is talk of a
special assessment upon the various
local assemblies for the purpose of pro.
viding funds for meeting the verdict
secured by Mr.. Powderly, but there is no
warrant for any such assessment in the
constitution, and the local assemblies
would therefore be at liberty, were they
so inclined, to refuse to respond. 1t is
probable that vote of the order upon
the question of ways and means in its
present dilemma will be taken.

900 worth of oJerty in their state.
The city of Zuri;h has population OF
$4,000 and msk III i.e laws success
fully by the Initiative AL referendum.
Their magnificent highways are an
example for the whole world, their
postal facilities are unequalled and their
freedom from financial panic and social
disturbances is particularly noticeable.
Tramps are unknown. Their president
gets only $3000a year, very few other
officials receive $1,000, while for local
officers $40O is a high salary. The low
salaries and close watch over public ex-
penditures destroys the great thirst for
public office from which we suffer.
By the Referendum none of these
bodies can make law, raise their
wages, or appropriate moro than avery
small sum for any purpose without an
endorsement ct the ballot box. The Ini-
tiative and Referendum is the only
practical plan thus far made by which
the majority does really govern. 1t is
the only peaceable way to obtain am un-
disputsble expression of the will of the
people on any question. .-Ex.

There lies horse that ought to have

golden letters ell over it" said one of the
"swipee" at Irvington the other day, as
q crowd was mutilating the body of poor
Oregon Eclipse, in it's efforts to secure
mementoes Of one of the greatest race
horses that ever lived.
Swipes was right, and had money
been as plentiful as sentiment on the
track the dead campaigner would have
secured the monument inside of ten
seconds. The victories of Oregon Eclipse
if told in detail, would fill book, and
an interesting one 1t would be. The
horse was fosled at Prinevilie about nine
years ago, his dam being mare named
Lulu Riggs, owned by Foster Bros. His
sire was Joe Hooker. Eclipse came out
of the shadow at the age of 8, and won
his first race at McMinnville, Or, about
six years ago. He went from here to
San Francisco, where he made such
wonderful showing that he was pur-
chased by w. J. Leheigh for $4,000. His
career irom that time was one unbroken
line of triumphs, and in condition and
out of condition, he met aud vanquished
the best horses in the United States, de-
feating among others, tibertine, holder
of the worlds record on the regulation
mile track. Potentate, Magnet and
scores of others of national fame are also
in the list OF those defeated by Oregon
Eclipse. His races were mostly from
half mile to a mile, and his record,
which was for long time the worlds
record, was l :l3 for three-fourths OF
mile. This was made at Washington
Park, Chicago. Leheigh kept the horse
moving until last fall, when he sold him
to Robbins, who owned him at the time
Of his death. Since changing hands he
won 13 races, 10 of which were run in
San Francisco. His remarkable endur-
ance and rugged constition were never
shown to better advantage than in the
East last October. He won the 616 fur
long race late in the afternoon 1T st.
Louis. He was led six miles to thb
train, and taken that night to Roby, Ind.
He WAS there led IA miles to the track,
and won the 11s-mile race over the
jumps. On coming to the coast, he con-
tinued his eastern success and at Bay
District track defeated Magnet, the cele-
brated runner, for which Ed Corrigan
offered $4,000. During his six years on
the turf Oregon Eclipse won over 100
races, and made for his owner over
100000.

Land Contest Case.

A contest case has been in progress be-
fore the local land office officials involv-
ing forty-acre tract adjoining Bingham
Springs the we'll known mountain resort.
1t was discovered last year that this
forty acres Of ground still remained a
part of Uncle Sans domain, and Mr.. R.
NJ Grasty filed homestead claim on the
land. A contest on this claim has been
instituted by U. F. Edgecomb, on the
grounds that Mr.. Grsety has failed to
make suitable compliance with the law
in the matter of residence, cultivation
and improvements. As justification
for apparent failure Mr. Grasty sets out
that high water and unavoidable circum-
stances interfered with his doing the
usual scts required OF homestead
claimant. Mr.. Edgecomb is represented
by j. H. Raley OF Pendleton, and Mr..
Grssty by s. v. Knox, an attorney of
Weston.
