TAFFE's BIG VERDICT.
He Gets S14,aOO in the Boat Railway
Case.

"A stretch of sand in the Cello country
over which survey has been made for
boat railway, may be more valuable
than gold mine, if in addition to dam
ages allowed, a right of way is granted
fishermen to transport their catch. In
the United States circuit court Saturday, !,
in the suit of the United States VS.. I. H.
Tafe, TO condemn lands at The Dalles
for the boat railway to be built by the
government, a verdict was rendered in
favor of Taffe for $4,000. Taffe has
cannery and fishing grounds at the
dalles, and he claims the boat railway
running across his land will cut off a
spur between the river and his fish
house, and will also take from him
valuable gravel pit, containing placer
gold, and worth great deal to him.
Sedfert Bros. are suing for $3.50, 900.
Their damage consists, besides being
cut off from delivering their fish, in
about $4,000 worth of property already
built upon the right of way, which will
have to be removed. The government
desires an absolute deed to the strip of
land 200 feet in width for the boat rail-
way, and if Seufert Bros. cannot get
permission or purchase right to cross
the government track, they will be COM
PEELED to suspend their fishing business,
for there is no other way to deliver their
fish.
It is thought by some that the boat
railway will never be actually built, or
at least that it is an event so far in the
future that it will not affect the present,
owners of fishery interests. But if it is,
there is every probability that the gov
ernment will not deliberately wipe out
an industry by refusing to grant it
right of way, a right by which nothing
is lost on the part of the government.
Still government officials, clothed in a
little brief authority, are sometimes
very obstinate and the coils of red tape
are often iuterIninable, and the damages
asked by Taffe and Seufert Bros. may
under certain circumstances that may
happen be inadequate to the actual in
juries received.

THE ELks EXCURSION.
A Trip Down the River Ever to Be Re-
membered.

The Elks had great time Saturday
night upon the occasion of the first ex-
cursion given by the lodge of this city.
The Regulator, which left her dock at
$3.50, carried 150 happy exeursionists,
who made the quiet banks OF the Colum-
bia re-echo their merry laughter. The
cabins were beautifully decorated with
evergreen, from punches of which pro-
truded two magnificent specimens of
elk heads. From the ceiling hung a
representation of clock with the hands
pointing to the hour of la time full of
meaning to all good Elks.
Upon the lower deck canvas had
been stretched which afforded an oppor-
tunity for the Elks and their friends to
enjoy dancing. Delightful music was
rendered by Prof. Birgfeld, Mr.. Peterson
and Miss NeWman.
AT Lyle stop was made for nearly an
hour, after which the steamer drifted
slowly down the river for several miles.
The moon had by this time risen in full
glory and the scene was undescribably
poetic. When weary of dancing, the
merry makers gathered in small groups
upon the deck and listened to story tell
ing, sang rollicking songs and watched
the lights and shadows upon the noun
tains, through which the Columbia
works its way to the sea.
Delicious refreshments were served
upon the boat and everything possible
was done by the officers and crew to
make tie event unusually pleasant. Capt.
Waud, Officer Alden and Steward
Rofeno and his assistants were untiring
lin their efforts to please. e.------

In an interview given soon after his
return from ST. Louis, Senator Proc
tor said: ct am glad to say that the
money plank of the ST. Louis plat
form was not forced on the west by
the east. The delegations from the
middle western states, Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
were as firm as New England for the
gold standard. Senator Teller is an
able and earnest and honest man. In
the convention he spoke of his long
service in the Republican party, and
of course, there was a pathetic side in
his case, which did not apply to the
younger silver boilers. But so far as
its being felt as an injury to the party
the bolt was in reality a relief. The
attitude of those men on silver was
inconsistent with their remaining
with the party
The senator also said that Hanna
approved of the gold plank in the
platform before it was presented to
the convention. This explodes the
prevalent idea that Mr.. Hanna per-
sonally favors silver.

One of the ablest supporters of the
candidacy of w. W. Stickney, was the
RutIa,1d Herald. 1t accepts the stu
alton in the following candid para
graph which appeared in its editorial
columns:
"The contest for the Republican
nomination to the Vermont governor
ship has ended with a victory for
Mai. Josiah circuit. In one aspect of
the matter everything is all right, for
the action of the convention is ac-
copied without demur by all republic
ans and there is nothing about the
ticket to prevent any citizen from
voting it. The party will support the
ticket Loyalty, and give a good account
in September. Moreover Major Circuit
is man of such character an1 ebility
as to warrant the belief that La will
fill the chief executives chair with
credit. Nobody has suggested that
he would fail to do that, and the Her.
aid can not see why the Republican
party has not good candidate at the
head Of it's ticket, nor why his cleo
ton will not give the State good
governor"

REUNION OF co. F, 18TH vt.

The third annual reunion of this
company took place at Lyons Grove,
Willoughby Lake, last Tuesday, as per
previous notice. The day was made
to order and surpassed the expecta-
tions of the contracting parties. If
any one can imagine anything more
grand and picturesque than this body
of water in a calm, cool, cloudless
day in June, with it's rugged, almost
perpendicular walls of evergreen COW
cred rocks, towering three thousand
six hundred and thirty feet above
their heads on either side, the writer
would like the address of the party
so he can let him the job.
Fifteen of the "old boys" and their
wives, with II visiting comrades and
dren taller than their dads, came
bringing not only the loaves and fish :
es, but strawberries and cream, ban
anas and such, by the basketful; and
they hardly ever before got SO big pay
for so little time. The first couple
that arrived pulle their chairs out
on the veranda an yelled "halloo" to
No. 2, and so on, till the steps, and
ground in front were black with as
happy a group of young feeling old
fellows as is often seen. A drum corps
of four snare DIR ums, two bass drums
and two flies made martial music that
drove some of the boys so near wild
with old time joy that they actually
fell into line wit hout orders and start
ed for Richmond. The forenoon was
spent by the comrades, each trying
to make all the rest believe he loved
them better than ever before. At 2
O'Clock about half the company

MEETING OF THE VETERANs.-The

Derby Line Friday last, was one of
great interest and pleasure. A large
number of old soldiers and many cit

did the most possible to make the oc-
casion pleasant. Among those who
addressed the people were Gen. But

ton, D. c., P. Ell. Dale, ESQ.,, and Maj.
Josiah Circuit. There was recitation
by j. A. Bedell. The chief address

boarded Capt. AverilPs new steamer.

and started for Belle Plain Landing at
the upper end of the lake. We were
salutsd by old Ben Butler as we pass
ed Fort Ticonderoga. The new boat
is good one, So feet long and Is wide
and will safely carry IS persons. 1t
ran as smoothly as though it's bottom
had just been creased, and it was go
| ing through sweet oil, instead of moth

We left our guns, knapsacks, haver-
sacks, but took our canteens, and fol-
lowed the music to the Richardson
Hotel. Some one called for 'sbeer,''
but Mrs. r. shook her head and most
of us were glad the bar was bare. But
we drank of the water of that we'll
known spring, to drink from once it
is said no person will die till he has
drank of it the second time. Stoppin e
at the pretty little cottage just north
of the hotel, is a gentleman from New
Hampshire, a former Glover boy, who,
hearing the racket of the drums and
the screeching of the flies, started out
to meet the "Yanks." He took off his
hat to us; we returned the salute; he
invited us up to mis- house; we went;
'Twas "Rube" Cheney; as we marched
into the yard Old Glory ran up the
flagstaff on top of the house; we were
introduced to Major Cheever, gen.
ial gentleman, who poured out the
lemonade while Rube passed the CT
gars. We were seated on the veranda,
where the best poss IDLE view of the
lake can be had. Three cheers for
the flag and three for our host were
given, and sorry were we all that our
duty at the other end of the lake COM
PEELED us so soon to leave that beauti
full place.
In the evening campfire was held
in the house of Co. K. The room was
full and some didn't get in. The speak
ers were A. D. Mathews, president of
the organization; VIM. Williams, Gov.
Mansur, Rev Mr.. Fuller and Rev. Mr..
Cameron. The remarks of each were
timely and unusually interesting. Mr..
Mathews told of the capture of June
23d, thirty-two years ago; Williams
of life in rebel prisons; Gov. Mansur
told how a good pair of legs saved
him from capture the same day, and
pitilessly scored the niggardly grum-
blers at the pension paid the soldiers.
Mr.. Cameron surprise ed us all by his
eloquence, and Mr.. Fuller, with his
spice, sent everybody home with
grin, from forehead to chin.
At the business meeting the old of
fcers were re- elected, and it was voI-
ed, in acceptance of an invitation
from Comrades S. H. Holbrook and
Kendrick Richmond, to hold the next
reunion at Newport, at such time as
should best suit the convenience of
