--------
How IT PAYs.--An exchange gives the
following interesting base bali facts, and as
well points to a moral which Pacific Coast
people generally may we'll consider seri.
ously alt Is stated that the eight ball
clubs in the organization known at the Ma
tlonal league haye made profits this year
aggregating nearly 100000, while the
eight clubs in the American association
have probably failed to clear $4,000 all
told Several of them have lost money.
The clubs In tie first organization play no
games on Sunday, while those of the sec.
ond have relied on Sunday games for a
large share of their support. The League
clubs, also, have been more expensive than
those of the association. IL this does not
mean that respect for religious scruples of
the best element of every community pays,
In sporting matters as In other things,then
we do not know what its significance Is"
ExcIrING.-The recent fight in Lebanon
between Drs, G. and f. over the nature OF
certain case of illness, is reported as hav-
ing been very exciting. The former knock
cd the latter over a watering trough, and,
them to get even with him, when he came
up a second time, let him have a number
of extra shoulder strikes. A'he event thrilled
Lebanon to the core.
FULL OF IT.-0ur Salem exchanges are
full of items about the proposed Astoria
and Valley railroad and it is a subject that
Aa ID all hail L.
Oregon in the next few years is going to
be of characterize stir up localities Al
bany with the splendid STAT It has secured
Is not going to be slow in increasing its al
vantagss.
A CURIOUS CAsE.-Some Lake county
cowboys recently lassoed two coyotes, cut
of their scalps and let the coyotes go
They then received the regular bounty
from the county. Awhile afterwards
farmer killed both coyotes but there were
no scalps to take to the county court.
Could he get bounty on their carcases,
that is the question.
GAAIBLING.-A young man named Rose,
who was arrested at Halsey for gambling,
was fined $40 and costs. Probably a just
punishment; but it does look little tough
for an amateur to be taken in for betting
ten cents on game of cards while Albany,
for instance, is full of professionals who
play swindling games rs business un-
harmed.
Or ,46.-M-. Raymond Burkhart, one OF
Linn county's most respected pioneers died
at his home near Lebanon on Saturday
evening at the age of II after lingering

prevail in Portland and East Portland. In
the latter city a street is barricaded for sew
cral blocks on account of the disease. The
