The tourists to the Coquilie and coast
mountains are returning slowly, and various
are the stories they tell of the slaughter of
the trout. Frank was the 6rst to get back
filed to overfowing, while somewhat modest
in his declarations, the stories that he teld
of the cool retreats and swarms of the finny
tribe would cause one to wish an adieu to
the dust and smoke OF the valley and be off
for the mountains, only if he could. The
next to return was the Messrs. Sheridan's,
refreshed by the sea breeze and ready for
active business again, and the account they
give of the catch of the speckIed beauties
by Mrs. Tolls, Chase and Sanctuary would
lead one to expect bigger fish story, when
Sanctuary returns, than any recorded IL the
Apochrypha.
Sheriff J. s. Purdom has gone to Portland
to be present on Friday at the execution of
Anderson for the murder of his brother. The
evidence on which Anderson was convicted
is circumstantial, there being no witnesses
to the homicide. He, up to the present time
firmly maintains his innocence, while the ev-
idence against him is strong it is possible that
he is innocent of murder. Should it hereaf-
ter transpi.e that another, and not Anderson
did the killing, there would be added an.
other to the already long list of judicial
murders, and fresh proof of the unreliability
of circumstantial evidence. If he is guilty
it is to be hoped that he will make clean
breast of the matter before the final moment

my family for any of the above named COM

The refreshing showers have done
much good for Southern Douglas.
Mr.. Lee has sold his farm to III.

Grange store.
Joseph Lane has gone out on the
line Of railroad to work on the Blue Cut.
John Hall is the boss granger in this
section, especially on corn.
Hon. D. S. K. Buick speaks Of sell

for some one to secure a bargain.
Some Of the fair ones of Myrtleville
must be scarce of handkerchiefs from

railroad boys.
Samp Jones can eat more sour grapes
than the next fellow and he SAYS his
friends forsake him when the claret
gives out.
A. D. Guess, conductor from Rose
burg to Glendale, on No. 9 and 10, is
the same genial gentleman that you
once met in the State of Georgia. He
has many warm friends in Myrtle.
The church building is now being ag-
itated In such a manner as to secure it's
early construction. Lovely women

A county road is much needed from
this place to Days Greek. It is seven

than any other point.
Miss Ellen Gabbert, who has been in
Portland for some time under the treat.

to know why the fascinating girls of
this vile fancy the average stranger
better than the home boys. It will re-
main an enigma.
Last Monday, f. M. Gabbert, our
energetic and liberal townsman, donat-

tiles of the children, crime will be less
and prosperity will be permanent.

citizen of that place, writing under date Of
May %, 1881, says: -'In the spring of 1873,

ESCAPED CoNvICTs.- On the 11th of

the Oregon penitentiary, Beauchamp,
Rinsheart and Mansfield, were captured
by party consisting of D. N. Gibson,
M. V. Kays, VIM. Price and Peter
Heter, Of Stayton, and J. K. Baf, Of
Silver ton. Having discovered their
trail at Aumsville, the volunteer party
followed it to Weodburn and going
about mile beyond towards Silverton,
awaited their coming. When they
came, about o'clock at night, they
were challenged and upon refusing to
stop fire was opened upon them, which
resulted in the killing of Beauchamp
and wounding the other two, Rhine

four at large whe have since been dis

well armed, but there is no doubt that
they will soon be accounted for as the

PLANS FOR TIE PAVILION.

It is to be hoped that many architects
in California will submit plans for the new
Pavilion. TIE time allotted is brief, but
necessity requires it. This is a State work ;
one in which all the people of the State
have an interest. There is nothing specu-
lative in it. The State Board of Agri.
culture has amended its call for plans so as
to remove the chief objection to the origin.

Architects Institute can afford to make
this case an exception to their usual GUS
tom, and compete for the prize, as the
Board finds itself unable to offer a sum
sufficient to award each one filing plan, 3

structures she erects should outweigh
technical scruples in this case.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

Prominent grain dealers at Stockton
give the Independent their views of the
crop outlook. Summed up they amount
to this: There is no cause for giving up
hope at this time, but the situation is a
critical one. These gentlemen undoubt.
eddy have excellent means of obtaining
reliable information. So, too, have we in
Sacramento. We learn here that that judg.
ment is based too much upon mere appear.
ance of the growing grain. The late favor
able weather kept it green and apparently
thrifty, but close examination will disclose
that there is but feeble root hold, and that
a few days of hot sun, or one day of des-
locating north wind, will destroy the vital
ity of about all the growing grain in the
chief valleys. Since 1871 we have expert.
enced not complete drought, but now all
the prospects are that there will be total
failure of crops over larger area than has
been known in any season for twelve years
Probably what is grown in California this
year may answer the demands of home
consumption, but that there will be any
surplus for export worth the mention we
do not believe. But while this is dis
couraging view, it is well to remember
that in no grain. growing country is there
total escape from seasons of failure, and
California has not greater proportion of
short seasons than most other sections.
OF course copious rains within week, and
an absence of north winds and high tenn.
perature, will put a new face upon the
whole crop outlook for 1883.
