Gone to Eugene.

Our fellow townsnan DR.. T. W. Harris
left this week for Eugene, at which place he
intends going into partnership with his un.
Gle, Dr. T W. Shelton, in selling drugs and
medicines, and also in practicing medicins.
Dr.. Shelton started this week for San Fran
cisco to lay in mammoth stock for the new
store, and Dr. Harris on hia arrival in Eugene
viii make the necessary preparations for the
reception Of the stock. DR. Harris is grad
uate Of several first-elass medical colleges
and occupies front rank in the profession,
as can be testified to by his many patients
in this vicinity. He is a good business man,
close fnancier, and viii undoubtedly con-
tribute a great deal towards making the new
enterprise a perfect success.

wheat Thleve..

Last week we had local about three hog
thieves, and this week we viii have TO
write one about wheat thieves A short
time ago Charles Logan, Duran Boggs
and young man named Eslick stole about
sixty bushels Of wheat from granary belong
ing to a gentleman named Churchill, living
near Tangent The wheat was hauled to
Corvallis and sold to Mr. Bell and very soon
after the owner of 1t tound out about the
whole affair Yoang Esliek and Logan were
arrested first, and the former turned States
evidence and made it SO warm for his late
companion that he was bound over under the
sum OF $500. When Boggs heard the matter
was leaking cut he made himself scarce, but
was finally captured at shingle camp up on
the Mohawk Last Tuesday he had his trial
and was bound over, his bonds being put at
$500. 1t is not likely that either one of the
parties viii be bailed out, and viii probably
have to lie In jail until next October. Eslick
says Boggs and Logan are members of a regu-
larly organized band of young thieves who
have been practieing their nefarious business in
this and Benton counties for some time, and
other events seem to substantiate his state
ment. Last Sabbath some persons obtained
search warrant and instituted search at
the residence of Mrs. Beggs, and in trunk
belonging to young Logan they found several
pieces of clothing which were fully identified
as hs ;1e been stolen short time ago at
Corvallis. Truly we have some enterprising
young men in our midst.

Last Sabbath the greatest invention, next
to telsgraphy, Of the age-the Telephone
was put IN experimental operation in Oregon.
The telephaph line between Portland and
Roseburg Was utilized for the purpose, and
the experiment proved complete and re-
markable success. There were three Offices
where the sound was taken, viz: Portland,
Albany and ROseburg. and the tests made by
= large class of curious people at each station
proved conclnsively that this great discovery
would be Of vast benefit to people within its
reach. Superintendent Lamb at Portland,
Mr. G. B. Plummer at Albany and DR..
Hamilton at Roseburg were the chief engi-
neers Of the concern, and the way they and
their friends passed, ssby word OF mouth,
friendly greetings. sung songs of praise and
rendered instrumental solos on various IN
struments, which were heard distinctly at
the stations where taken. perfectly sstonish-
ed even the favored few who had the oppor.
su1ity Of taking it in. Several Of the
leading citizens OF Albany stosd in DR..
