ssp*< iai Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
WASHINGTON. April Quite s num
ber of settlers In the vicinity of La Cen
ter. Clarke county. Washington. have
be«>n making Inquiries of the commissioner
of the genera! land offics as to the status
of their lands, which were claimed by the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and
to which patents were issued erroneously
by the government. The records of the
interior department show that under date
of October 3. l&u. the secretary of the in
terior requested the United States attor
ney general to institute suit against the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company under
the act of March t. I*B7. as extended by
the act of March 2. Ws*. to vacate the pat
ents issued to said company for certain
lands in Clarke and other counties in
Washington state, which were held by
the Spaulding decialon to have been for
feited by the act of September 2?. I*SO
Commissioner Hermann, of the genera!
land office, states that should tlu* lands
be recovered as a result of this suit, they
will be at once restored to the public do
main and made subject to entry by the
first qualified applicant after due notice
by publication, preference right, of course,
being given to the prior bona fide settler.
Inquiry at the postoftice department re
garding the dismissal of F. O. Seaton. who
w,ta appointed to the g*nf rai railway mail
service from the state of Washington, de
velop# the fact that Mr. Beaton »as drop
ped from the civil service substitute list
»«*fore receiving his appointment, for vi
olation of the t>oetal laws and regulations.
General Superintendent White, of the
railway mail service, states that on Octo
ber 5. 18£*>. while performing service be
tween Spokane and Portland. Mr. Seat on
I>ermitted two of his friends to enter his
car for the purpose of riding therein.
These men were seen by the engineer of
the train to enter the car from the side
opposite the station, and their actions
being suspicious, the engineer informed
the conductor, who entered the mail car
and ordered the men to leave. The ob
j'jft of the regulations forbidding un
authorized persons to enter the mail car.
Superintendent White says. Is both for
the protection of the mail and to prevent
the railroad company from being defraud
ed of its fare, and violation of this reg
ulation is always severely dealt with.
Complaint has been made to Secretary
of War Alger about the leasing of Station
Prairie, on the Fort T-»wn»end military re
serve. to Chinese gardeners. The Chinese
rented this plat of ground last year and
took contracts to furnish Vegetables to
tug boats, steamers and hotels, besides
peddling In the streets of Port Townsend.
In consequence It Is alleged the American
farmers in the vicinity of Port Townsend
found very little market for their produce.
Xow, it Is assorted, the Chinese are go
ing in on a larger scale. They have over
ninety acres planted with vegetables, and
It is claimed that this will rob the Amer
ican farmers of their horn* market entire
ly. It is said that the Chinese pay only a
dollar a day for the rent of this whole
prairie, and the secretary of war has been
a.«k<Hi to abrogate the lease and prevent
the Chinamen from thus entering into
ruinous competition with the ciuxen* of
the state of Washington in that vicinity.
Secretary Alirer has not yet given the
matter full consideration, but it is said at
the department that a lease of this charac
ter is hardly hkely to be broken, so long
as the lessees, even though they be Chi
naman. content themselves with the peace
ful pursuits of agriculture oo the milltury
reserve.
A bill has been introduced author.iirg
the secretary of the Interior to place upon
the pension roll the name of Ogden Street,
who wii lieutenant-colonel of the Elev
enth regiment. Ohio volunteer infantry,
end pay him a pension of JTI a month, to
date from the filing of his first applica
tion for a pension some years ago. Col.
S? r#-et is no* an Inmate of the Soldiers*
Home at Orting. and. it is said, if he could
prove that his disabilities were the result
of his service during the *ir he would
have no trouble tn getting a pension of
>72 a month under the general law.
A bill has been Introduced for the relief
of A. D Glover, wao was formerly post -
m.ister at Olympia. It authorises the pay
ment of $' for expenses incurred by
Mr Glover for rent, fuel, light a:; 1 clerk
hire In his offi> e while he was po«tmaster.
which were not aHowrSby the auditor for
the postoffl-e department. There appears
to be no d<vibt whatever tha* Mr. Glover
paid oat this money, but the auultor hold*
that he was not authortled to do so by
the department.
This money paid out by Mr. Glover
dur ri* the year* from 1W to IS®. During
that time there was a rreat fnol of im
aurration. No free delivery was in opera
tion. People oftM *-»ited !n line at the
poMoffire door for hours to get their mail
Rents advanced 2W |*r cent and clerk hire
aa well It was impc*sibl« to get goo.l
cl.-rks without paying out twice or three
times as much as the department allowed,
i During Mr, Glover's term the post office
j had to be removed several times from one
! building to another to aroid extortionate
d»r-ar>d« for r»nt He was at first allowed
only r» a year for clerk hire which was

Pe-rretary of the Nary Lcng state* r»!a
tlve to the application for the discharge
of Henry Car! Johns of Rcssiand. B. C.,
that discharges before the expirat-.rir. of
the time for which «r.;'stments are made,
are granted only by purchase Althc j«h
Johr.a was a minor wfc»r, he enlisted. he ia
no longer under age. and a request for
his discharge must be made by himself
srd forwarded through his commanding
officer. Congress paatod :t special art in
ISSB. providing that ao enlisted man In
the navy could pure base his discharge
after he had served three months and is
not in debt to the government. The price
of discharge during tha fourth month of
enlistment will be S per cent, of the yearly
pay- of the applicant. During the S'th
month. 30 per cent., and ao on. Increas.ng
5 per cent, per n>'>nth until the fourteenth
Month, when the maximum price is
reached I>uring the fifteenth the
price wil! be 95 per ent. of the maximum
price. In the sixteenth month. & per
cent., and ao on decreasing » per cent, per
month until the thirty-fourth numth.
when he may apply for a discharge with
out payment. An enlisted man procuring
a discharge by purchase thereby forfeits
ail benefit due to continuous service or
honorable discharge, and ao sailor will be
allowed to pun-haw his discharge a second
time. Furthermore, applications for dis
charge by purchase will not be considered
unle*s based on valid reasons, which must
bo fully set forth by the applicant and
verified by the commanding officer.
The foregoing may make Interesting
reading to boys who are thinking serious
ly of enlisting in the na\>\ and it wi-l
show how much easier It is to enlist in the
government service tliaa it is to get out
of it.
Serious complaint has be*n mad* *o th*>
poat'iffiee department cf a very bad mail
service n«w *xlstir.g between Tacoma and
Burnett. and Carbonado. From
all points north of Tacsma. it is at!« g*i
that the mail is just tw-nty-fout hours
late to Burnett. Wllkeesfc and Carbonado.
F'rotn these points to Seattle the mail Is
five hours late. The reason alleged for it
Is because th» re is no mail cl» rk on what
is called the Carbonkl? train from Ta
coma.

OITHRIT O T . April 2*-In the flood-
! stttckt a valley of the i*ottonwood rtver
{ today has ;*en on* of heroic effort taward
' th« rescue of th"»»> unfortunate* *lum
live* were still endangered. and for the
i relief of Ihe hundreds of destitute and
| lb# hungry. Tonight It a certain
ty th.«t the loss of life In jffftrrday'i de

j In# people. supposed yesterday to have
N-en drown«*tl, km t»een found dinging

on th' w.st Muffs or mattered tn farm
houses for mile*.
J During the greater part of yesterday
! the roaring torrent of water cut off com
munication with the subtn r*ed .ij-.tr -t,
and in the general excitement the de;»Ui
list was swelled to hundreds. The
negroes who lived In th* stricken portion
of the town. had. in their terror, given
! up their missing friends or relatives ag
lost, and It was the general belief that
. scores had perished In their homes or in
tornado cellars, but when day tight came
this morning the flood had subsided, and
I el imination* today <<f the hoaw> ard
cellar* failed to conr.rm the reported
heavy loss of life.
Daylight found dosens of people still
i clinging to trees, overturned house* or
timbers In perilous position*, which they
had sustained all during the weary night.
For mile* al ng the scene of devastation
l.m p»*ople homeless*, half 111 tr*>m •*x
;<osure and hunger pa*e#-d a miserable
night, and morning found most of them
too weak to aflord much assistance either
to themselves or others.
The scene In the flood-swept district this
morning was one of desolation. The river
full rapidly during the night, and w hen the
sun rose the awful extent of the damage
done to property could be seen. The river
is still bank full, but the water has re
ceded from most of the inundated district.
There was a confused mass of debris and
overturned and demolished houses seal
tend over the valley where la>t night wag
a sea of water. The banks were littered
with the dead carcasses of horses, cat
tle. hogs and rhtekens. Whole blocks,
where yesterday stood a home on nearly
every lot. are slipped bare, huge trees,
torn up by their roots, w, re scattered ev
ery where; great gulches had been washed
out of the streets, gardens were devas
tated. fruit trees leveled, lawns and flower
heds cleared off as level as a table and
fences completely gone.
With the first rsy of daylight the work
of rescue and relief was taken up with a
vengeance and kept up with a tireless
energy until nightfall tonight made it im
possible to continue. During the night
men had been put to work In lumber
yards constructing boats, and dawn to
day witnessed a dosen craft darting out
from all directions to the re fiw of the
unfortunate*. People Vho had missing
ones beg.in searching everywhere for their
bodies, taking rinks that ordinarily they
would not have been able to take M.iny of
those who had only lost property went up
and down the stresm trying to recover
some of lt—some parts of a house, bed
clothing or wearing apparel. The work
of the raftsmen proved most effective,
and one by one the |>eop|« were trans
ported from their perilous positions to
places of safety on land.
All day long the rescuers worked Inces
santly. and every house, drift pile and tre«
wms closely exjunlntsl In search of the
dead. Excited negroes who had climbed
to the roof of a house held an all-day
prayer meeting, and their shouting could
be plainly heard in Guthrie. They were
all rinaliy rescued.
The family of Wesley McGUI. reported
yesterday as drowned, was found safe.
During the day systematic relief was
perfected and carried on. Ferries plied
across the river, carryin* provisions and
clothlmc everywhere and returning with
any Injured or urgent cases of distress.
Such were carefully cared for in private
homes In Guthrie. By nightfall ample ar-
rangement* had bee« made for the imme
diate car* of th<* hcm»kM, and there wn»
an a**unince of no further suffering. at
