Ir WAS A TEMPERANCE LFssoN.-The
Eugene JouyRal thus talks In reference TO
Grant Osborne, who died from an over
dose of morphine in this city recently, In
a manner that must make our young men
stop and think: ave have known Grant
Osborne since he was little boy. When
little hoy he used to spend much Of his
time at our house, and was one Of the most
industrious, trustworthy and sbliging little
boys we ever knew. Grants misfortune
and death were caused by getting into bad
company and acquiring a taste for strong
drink before he arrived at maturity. But
for these bad associates he would have been
blessing TO society and an honor 20 his
family lie was naturally an excellent
boy, smart, honest and industrious"
AFFEcrISGs-Thc following from the
Salem pide.fe about Marion county mill
is very poetical and touching. Those of
our readers who peruse II without an awful
feeling of goneness viii please report 10
headquarters "And so the old mill At
WilIsburg has shut down after more than
quarter of a century of service. 1t was
the oldest saw mill anywhere in Oregon,
There is something very pathetic about the
mill. At first twas setup in the midst oi
virgin forest aud now il stands surround.

majestic giants that lowered hcavenward
/ nodding their evergreen piumcS TO the
| floating clouds. But the mighty giants arc
gone forever gone Is the old mill with It's
busy hum gone Is the manly axeman and
his log cart and sturdy oxen but the glad
some stream that whirled to the wheels oi
the defunct saw mill still remains 70 turn
the spindies of factories. Its fountains are
perpetual and many generations will listen
to its ceaseless murmutiug.a

Mr.. Rhoades, are home from the mines
their faces illuminated by look that speak,
volumes. They brought home with then
a large quantity Of ore, which they vii

ing region on the Pacific Coast as he ha
done the Coer D'Alenes pretty thoroughly
he knows what he Is talking about. III
said he was astonished that 50 little atten
ton had beea paid a region with such I
remarkably fine mineral formation. W.
believe with him that within a few year
the great mining excitement Of the Pacific
Coast will center in Linn county along th'
Cascade range, and there will be men herr
who viii kick themselves because they di'
not do something.
