A public meeting of the citizens was held at the Brick building, Monday night, to consider the present. mixed up condition of the affairs of the ex- town treasurer and other local condl- tions.

 Resolved, That this committee in vestigate the question of bonds of town treasurer and town clerk, tax collector and selectman, procure copies of same 1; communicate with selectmen relative to appointment of expert accountant, ascertain the experts report and re- port to a meeting to be called as soon as practicable. Also that the commit tee make such other investigation ot town financial affairs as in their ludg- ment they deem best.
 It was the sentiment of the meeting that criminal prosecutions of the off cials should follow when the proper time comes. A committee, consisting of E. c. Page, Henry 5. Coger and Charles E. Beers were ap- pointed to make investigations and re- port at public meeting to be called later. The attendance was about 50,

DOUBLE TRACK NORTH BANK
Authoritative Statement from Presi-
dent Elliott.

Portland, June 22.-To double
track the north bank road from Van
couver west to Kalama and from
Vancouver to point near Cape Horn,
on the middle Columbia, in addition
to laying double track from Ken
newick to a point % or 80 miles to-
ward the Rose city, are plans of the
Northern Pacific, as stated today by
its president, Howard Elliott, who was
in the city, accompanied by other Of
ficials of the system. The party left
at o'clock for Vancouver and the
trip east from there will include a
journey into the Walla walla and
Palouse country, but haste will be
made, as Mr.. Elliott expects to be in
st. Paul by July 1.
There has been considerable talk
of double tracking the North Bank
line, but it has not been officially
stated before that these portions of
It wore to be so constructed. The
passing tracks to be laid are excep-
tionally long in order to provide for
complete double track in the flu
ture.

SNAKE RIVER ON THE BOOM.
Water Reaches the Highest Point OF
the Season.


Boise, June 22.-Snake river has
been on the boom for several weeks
The highest point so far this season
was reached on Sunday last, but this
was still at least six feet below that
of 1895. Should the rain which has
been falling for the past week almost
daily, cease and the weather turn
very warm for a few days it would
go stlll higher. There has been quite
a little fear for some of the canal
headgatcs. There has been quite a
continual pressure against the head
gates for more than two months, the
longest time that high water has con-
tinued for many years.
There are still large quantities OF
snow in the mountains. Many Of the
canal heidgates have been construct
ed since there has been as high wa
ter as at present and while they have
stood the test Of former years, this
extraordinary high stage and the
rains having softeEed the ground
makes It easier to wash away.
Many had an idea that when the
headgatcs Of the canals were opened
there would he falling off in the
river. There is nothing in this, how
ever. When the river is carrying
900, 900 inches of water and the ca
pacity Of the canals is about 200,0 900
inches it will make quite difference
in the river when the headgates are
closed; but when the river is carry
ing two or three million inches of
water the taking away of 100000 has
about as much effect as a person
sticking his finger in bucket OF
water.

UNCONVENTIONAL
SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Site for the Same Will be Farm at
Cove, Union County, the Bequest
of ii. French During the Admins
tration of Bishop Morrfs-Plans
Will be Carried Out by Bishop
Scadding.

Cove, Ore, June 22.-It is now
certain that Cove will have a per-
manent denominational school for
girls. Several years ago H. French
left in his will a farm to the late
Bishop Morris for the purpose of
supporting a denominational school
for girls. Up to this time, for va
rious reasons, it has not been found
possible to establish such a school
permanently.
Bishop Scadding is desirous of car
rying out the terms of the will ex-
actly and to this end he has made
arrangements this summer to start
the school at the ascension grounds
here once more. He has secured the
services of two teachers from ST.
Helen's hall in Portland-Miss Edna
Jacques, who took the degree of NJ.
A., at Harvard university, and Miss
of Smith College, with the degree
Of ,. a. Both are teachers of cx-
perience and ability.
Arrangements for the re-opening
of the school will be made at an
early date.
This is an Episcopal church school
and it was run for years in one of
the most beautiful groves in Ore
gon, where several of the church
buildings still stand. Many eastern
Oregon young people received train
ing there. and the re-opening of the
school will be glad news to many.

Walla Wala, June 22.-With the ex-

neyed out today to look over the pro-
posed new channel for Mill creek.
They were, accompanied by City En-
gineer Wilson, City Attorney Blan-
ford and ]. p. Kemp and j. w. Lang
ley OF the park commission. Practi-
cally all of the property owners in
the territory concerned also appear
ed on the scene with the councilnen,
After going over the ground care
fully, a course somewhat to the south
OF that marked on the city post was
almost unanimously decided upon, the
only dissenting voice being that OF
Eugene Lennch, who objected siren
uously to any change whatever being
made in the present course OF the
creek.
This stand on the part of Lennon.
some say. is due to the fact that to
change the creek would be to bring 1t
within unpleasantly close proximity to
property owned by Lennon.

EXAMPLE FOR SWEDEN.
Statistical Bureau Writes to Governor
Chamberlain.

Salem, June 22.-That the eyes of
the world are fixed on Oregon is no
mere ethereal dream of the enthusias-
tic booster. Not only are Oregon's
great snd undeveloped resources en-
ticing to hundreds of emigrants, but
the great government reforms the
Beaver state has inaugurated are no
loss attractive to foreign diplomats
and publicists.
Another instance was noted yester-
day in letter received by Governor
Chamberlain from far away Sweden.
The missivc sought information rela-
tive to the initiative and referendum
and more particularly on its effect on
political parties. The information is
sought by Otto Grondlund of Stock
holm, who is connected with the
Central Bureau of Statistics of
Sweden. He states that he is pre-
pairing a treatise on the subject and
that he has learned that the two
meacules had been adopted by the
Oregon legislature and that he wish
ed to know more of their practical ap-
plication.

SERIOUSLY CRITICISED.
Most Important Exception Taken to
the Present Land Policy Is That of

Modify Rulings Relating 10 Coal
Lands.

Denver, June 22.-Though beaten
in every test vote which required a
showdown OF numbers, the govern
ment supporters n the land conven-
ton which adjourned late yesterday,
nevertheless scored a distinctive tri-
umph in the outcome-a triumph
solely due to an impregnable position
defended with great skill. The situ-
,ation simply being that whereas the
recalcitrants might have and were
amply able to have passed the most
drastic denunciation of the govern
ments policy. they not only did not
do so, but passed a quasi endorsement
tJf II. AS an endorsement II is fame
and weak. but It seals the fact that
the opponents of the governments de-
clared system and plan of operations
fell down utterly IN all their declared
purposes.
The opposition seated by sheer force
OF numbers their own delegations. in
some instances in the face Of alleged
proof of packing the convention-for
instance the state of Colorado fur
nished nearly half the recognized del
egates-and In every instance when a
test vote was taken outvoted heavily
the administration supporters. This
was Illustrated in the adoption of the
report of the committee on credentials
which was done by vote of 34S to
221.
The resolution over which there was
the most dispute, read:
Va npaoca op,, oAanua t., tlo
ing law and customs as to grazing
livestock upon the public domain, out
side of forest reserves.
The resolutions say that experience
has demonstrated the wisdom of the
policy of treating the lands of the ma
ton as a public trust to be disposed
of in all cases wherever possible to
actual settlers. The people of the
west are unalterably opposed to any
change in this wholesome and bene-
fetal policy. Forest reserves should
only be created where they do not in
fringe this policy. In all cases the
rights of the states and the people of
the states to the free and unhampered
use OF all waters within forest reser-
vations should be not only permitted
but encouraged and no charge should
be imposed thereon.
The necessity OF forest reservations
is recognized by this convention and
reasonable regulations by the govern
ment commended.
The resolution, however, favors the
prompt elimination from forest reser-
vations OF all lands not timbered or
suitable for reforestation or reasona-
bly, necessary to conserve the flow of
streams usced for irrigation. 1t Is
especially urged that the reports Of
special and secret service agents Of
the land department and of the de-
partment of agriculture shall be made
under oath. A modification of any
existing orders which prevent bona
fide filings on any OF the public coal
lands is demanded The national ir-
rigation law Is heartily endorsed.
It is finally demanded that in states
wherein forest reserves are situated
and not desired and are excessive, the
reservation should be reduced to rea-
sonable limits whether. the land re-
stored contains timber or not.
