Invasion of Editors.

Mr.. A. W. Swain, editor of the Oska-
loosa Herald, writes to a Portland paper:
81 deem it only fair to your people to say
that the Iowa Press Association will invade
Oregon in May or June, to the number of
l5O or more. Arrangements are now being
perfected for the journey, to occupy Is
days from starting from Iowa. The object
is to see as much of the "Webfoot" country
as possible in the ten days that we shall
have to dispose of, outside of travel. The
association is largely composed of the week
ly press-which are vain enough to put
themselves second to no other weekly gan
of any other State. Our people want to
know something about Oregon, SO We are
coming to find out ourselves. have ad-
vised Senator Slater of the intended in
vasion, so that he might counsel with the
new administration, in case he deemed it
necessary. The association don't drink.

A Lively Runaway.

Thursday morning early as Mr.. Jas. Tay-
Tor and Cox were going to the slaughter
house north of town the team they were
driving became frightened at sulne mishap
to the wagon, and started on a lively run,
throwing Mr.. Taylor, who was driving, from
the wagon. Mr.. Cox then being unable to
to do any perceivable good in the wagon
alone and without any lines or any means of
checking the team in their mad career, con-
sidered discretion the better part of valor,
and accordingly let himself from the back
,.'yt of the wagon in as careful manner as
eae nature of circumstances would permit,
not however without investigating the
depths of convenient mud hole. The
team finally came to standsrill, or rathe.
one was standing whils the other was on its
back, with its feet and legs through fence.
Luckily for the team they escaped without
a scratch, but unfortunately for Mr.. Taylor,
he sustained some severe bruises, which it
is hoped will not prove of a serious nature.
The wagon is a total wreck and will proba-
bly, not be resurrscted.

Sufficient Reasons.

A letter was received at the Oregon
bureau of immigration recently from Texas,
and among other things the writer said:
"Having determined to leave here for some
place In the northwest, 1 have addressed
you; and, as an evidence of good faith, will
give some of the reasons for wishing o make
the change: First, the great prevalence of
malaria and its long continued train of fatal
diseases; second the uncertain conditions of
the climate in the planting season and the
hot and dry months of the making and ma
turing season; third, the frequency of floods
and electric storms during the rainy period;
fourth, the very limited varieties and the
poor quality of the vegetables and the
fruits that succeed here at all; fifth, the
almost utter impossibility of saving them
after they are grown, through long and hot
periods; sixth. the absence of the tame
grasses, such as clover, redtop, timothy,
etc. seventh, the poor grade of everything
raised here on the farm except cotton, etc.,
etc. Besides all these disadvantages have
desire to get back and live and rear my
family among northern people" From the
above account it would seem that the clone
Star state is not very desirblef location.

Giant Powder Accident.

One day last week Grant Helman of Ash
land, son of Captain Helman and son-in-
law of General E. L. Applegate of that
place undertook to thaw out some giant
powder, with serious results. 1t seems that
he was engaged in digging we'll near his
residence, and, needing some of the ex-
plosive, put few sticks of it very close to
the stove. 1t went off suddenly, throwing
him out of the kitchen with great force and
tearing off hand, the forelinger of which
was driven into the flesh of his thigh nearly
to the bone. His wife, who was also in the
room, escaped with slight injuries, being
fortunately alarmed in time.
After the explosion Helman started to go
into the kitchen to see if his wife was hurt
and first discovered the loss of his hand
when he attempted te catch hold of the
door-frame. He heard his wife calling him
from the front of the house and went back
off the porch, walked around the house to
the fence and stood leaning there short
took hold of him and led or carried him to
the house. The shock of the explosion was
heard almost all over town, and crowd
soon collected.
The scene in the kitchen was one of ruin.
The stove and cupboard near were COM
pletely demolished; the windows and doors
were blown out; the siding of the kitchen
walls was loosened everywhere and pieces
of fash from tho lost hand uara stioL in o
about over the walls and ceiling, while
blood was pentifully besprinkled every
where. Helman's arm was amputated a
short distance above the wrist, and at last
accounts he was getting along as well as
could be expected.

Exaggerated Reports.

| The Albany Democrat of last week pub.
Ished a sensational item which 1t alleges
was reported to have occurred at this place,
which for barefaced exaggeration is certain
ly in the lead. The article published IN
that paper is to the effect that "Paymaster
Hogue had been buying up the company s
script at greatly reduced rates with the
company's money, and that some men with
over due script laid violent hands on him,
etc., etc." 1t is impossible to conceive OF
ANYTHING that would lead to such report,
unless it be a case of pure fabrication,
originated by class of people who lose no
opportunity to injure the company when
ever an opportunity affords. 1t is true that
there has been in our city for some
time past number of workmen with over
due script, and that through unfortu-
nate circumstances the company were not
prepared to meet them all when due, which
fact is regretted by the company as much
as any one When under the influence of
liquor some of these men, and to whom the
company were the least indebted, have made
very much noise, and it was feared that
when in an intoxicated condition they might
possibly create some disturbance. But
nothing has been said or done to warrant
such report as was published in the Demo-
crat last week, and copied by the Portland
papers. 1t is only justice to MIR. Hogue,
who has never been even accused here of
buying the company's script, with his own
or some one else's money, that all papers
that have copied the false report will now
make the proper correction.

A gentleman who has just come down
from the Malheur Indian agency, in Eastern
Oregon, says that the reports about the
severe weather IN Union, as in other inland
counties, were mistakes so far as the first
| named is concerned. At the present time,
the snow is all gone, except few drifts on
| north hillsides. So far as I could learn
| there has been no loss Of stock of any kind
| in Union county for want of feed during the

| weather was warm and fine. The grass was
fully six inches high and growing rapidly.
Winter wheat is looking splendid, better
than any other that have seen in the

ground over winter have sprouted up with
large green tops. The farmers will start

Cash versus Credit.

Knowingtit to be for my best interests,
and believing it to be for the best interests
of my customers, I shall continue to sell for
cash only. The following are a few of my
reasons: First-Taking no risks I can
afford to sell at lower rate of profit.
Second-I will not be at the expense of
keeping a book-keeper (seventy-fve dollars
monthly Third will not have to spend
week out of every month trying to make
collections. Fourth-I will have time to
give more attention to my business and
consequently give better satisfaction to my
customers, and finally solicit only cash
trade. !, j. M. NOLAN
