The Gams Laws.

The first of September is the first of the
open season when the beast and the fowls of
the air may be hunted without fear of an
avenging law. In Oregon the close season
for pheasants and grouse expired a month
ago, now the hunter may kill geese, ducks
and quail or any other bird or animal that
suits his fancy excepting the Mongolian
pheasants which the law makes sacred be-
cause of their scarcity. 1t is also a crime
to trap quail in either Oregon or Washing
ton the whole year through. The close sea-
son has ended in the territory as far as
hunting is concerned, but Mungolian pleas
ants and quail are protected alike there and
in Oregon.

Newspaper Et1quette.

1t frequently happens that visitors to
newspaper offices do and say things which
are improper, and rude and annoying The
visitor does not mean to be rude, and has
really the slightest idea that he is making
himself disagreeable, for the reason that he
is not accustomed to newspaper etiquette.
For this reason, we wish to throw out few
hints that will enable the visitor to avoid
unintentionaily giving offense.
When you enter the printing office do not
handle the type i'll the cases. If you wish
to examine the type say SO to the printer,
and he will be glad to stop his work and
empty the case out on the editors table,
where you can sit in his chair and examine
the type at your leisure. Never mind put
ting back the type the printer can do that
after you get through. While talking to
the printer, lean on his use with your
elbow over some of the boxes containing the
letters, then you will secure his attention,
poor overworked fellow will ''bless you" as
long as he lives. Don't read the proof
sheets, clippings of manuscript. If you
want to know what is going to appear in
the next paper, ask the editor to read it
aloud to you. He has plenty of time and
will be grateful to You for the chance to
quit his work and entertain you If you
want to look o, er the cash book, make the
editor go and get it for you. Never ask for
sample copy, but take half dozen.
Never spit tobacco juice on the floor; always
spit on the exchanges or ON the walls.
otherwise the editor will think you are not
accustomed to newspaper office. Make
the editor feel that his presence does not
annoy you. Never ask for old exchanges.
just help yourself to the unopened ones for
they always contain much later news than
those that have been opened. Ask the
editor, if you are perfect stranger to him,
to supply you with duplicate key to his
postoffice box, SO you can get his papers
regularly. If he is gentleman he will fur
nish you with duplicate key without ask
ing, but some editors are not gentlemen.

Robbery.

Some of the light fingered gentry entered
Burnett & Johnson's store Tuesday night and
relieved that firm of $22 IS in cash and one
box of cigars. They made their entrance
by raising one of the windows in the back
part of the building which admitted them
to the billiard room, and when once inside
this room, had free access to everything in
the store. The money they obt tined was
kept in cigar box in some out of the way
place, and used for change, being for the
most part 25, 10 and cent pieces. It is
naturally supposed that the guilty party or
parties was well acquainted about the prem
ises. No clue to the perpetrators has yet
been obtained

The Oregon school for the education of
deaf mutes begun its years work at Salem
on Wednesday, the 10th inst, says an e>-
change. According to the tenth census
there was aitotal Of l02 of these unfortun-
ates in this state. Immigration within
the past five years most likely added it's
regular quota to the number. Probably
one third Of the whole are of school age.
and it is hoped that the parents and guar
dians of these will make the necessary ef-
fort to place them in school, Helpless
enough at best are these children, who,
with "wisdom at one entrance quite shut
out" are compelled to combat circumstances
for livelihood, bat their helplessness is
immeasurabiy iessened by the endeavor
which phlanthrophy makes for their edu-
cation. The Asst intelligent effort has
been made in connection with the school
for deaf mutes in Salem, and its past record
10 credit to the state.

The Five Rivers Tragedy.

Slight mention was made in the GAZETTE
last week of this horrible affair, but full
particulars were unobtainable at that time.
1t now appears that tive weeks ago Mr.. G.
". Hunt of this city, lost tarpaulin
frnm hay stack on the Jas. Foster place,
and that suspicion pointed strongly to Ad.
Hood, John and Ed Horton, of that neigh
boFhanf, as the parties who had feloniously
purlnine,l the same. On Monday evening
of last week Marshal Pygall started in pur-
suit of the suspicioned parties and followed
them to Five rivers, Were they had gone
un a hunting expedition, evidently with the
intention of remaining some time, being
well supplied with provisions and camping
outfit. having made a tent and several suits
s'f clothes nut..of the tarpaulin which Mr..
Hunt had lost On y ednesday morning
about 10 o'clock and near their camp Pygall
mst JOHN Horton coming out to the valley
for help, saying that about two hours pre-
previous he hal shot Ad Hood for deer
killing him instantly. Pygall arrested the
two Horizons aid lodged them III the county
Jail here on Thursday of last week: They
have since had a preliminary examination
before Justice Quivey, and John Horton
pleaded guilty of the charge, and now, in
dnrance vile, awaits the action of the grand
jury. Sufficient evidence could not be
found to convict the other Horton, and he
was accordingly released. Willis Vidito,
Justice of the peace for the Alsea precinct,
was summoned and held an inquest over
the body of Hood. He writes: ssOn ex-
animation of the body at the inquest, it was
found That the ball had entered the body
DIN Ter the right hand side of the lower jaw,
passed. obliqnely and downward, and came
out at the lower point of the left shoulder
blade. The ground is very steep and is
covered with dense growth of underbrush.
Upon actual trial it was found tnat man
dressed as Hood was dressed. standing
where he stood, could not, from the place
where the deer was found and the shots
were fired, be distinguished from deer.
The jury without any hesitation, found a
verdict of death by shot from gun in the
hands of John Horton, who mistook Hood
for aaeer. After the inquest, Hooi's body
was placed upon horse, carried twenty
miles over a steep mountain trail to the
wagon road in Lobster valley, where
1T was received by his parents and taken
home fOJ burial"

Which is Root; which Fruit?

At the S. S. Convention, last week, a
very marked fundamental difference appear
ed in the religious theories of some of the
speakers. One maintained that morality
underlies spirituality. Another claimed
that spirituality underlies morality. The
great need of the present, in the estimation
Of some men, is new and attractive ex-
preston Of religious faith. Some men main
tam that the old, plain, quiet forms of re-
ligion ale mere formality, and are devoid of
life. Accordingly they must introduce a
new statement of faith. Such ought to be
done with the utmost reverence; for, in this
instance, the fallacy was most patent.
