THE Pt,NIsr.-A nice audience greeted
Miss Neatly Stevens last week at the
Opera House. She played ON grand III
L Miller piano, the largest made, ono
with beautiful tone. She came here
with big reputation. Her playing Is
no doubt marvellous, her touch, execution
and expression being perfect, but the
novice, rs IN always the case, does not APP
preciate difficult music, though he may
admire the training that can produce II.

just looking at Miss Stevens, were disap-

can easily overlook such things when
listening to mastery manipulation Of

quartet from the Apollo Club, consisting
Of & III Hart, G. w Sears, Prof Lee and
Dr Littler, were heard in u couple songs,

"a railroad entering the state near On
tario and ending at TIDE water on Yaquina
bay, was projected and surveyed years
ago. The people have been promised,
Wall street has been worked, but the road
stands dead s,ili-whai there l. of IL.
Through the too open open columns Of
Willamette valley papets, surprhrS are
promiSed-unhcard OF thing, "promised
suTprises'--and yet the people grow gray,
and hope becomes mouldy. Tbs salvation
OF Ea,tcru Oregon lies tn someone who
has not run the limii Of scheme and finan-
cial wriggle taking hold Of the road and
pushing II through. That Il will pay,
there IL no doubt. Although the eastern
part of the state Is rock rimurd, piled
and ranged with mountains, iutnpy aud
hog backed. the valleys are rich and pro-
duc,ive, far beyond the promI,e OF any re-
suits yet obtained"

They ARE PouREG IY.-Large numbers
Of immigrants are coming from Kansas.
From so TO 100 have been coming in
daily over the Union Pacific. Most Of
them are stout, hardy young men, used
to roughing it, and all have enough
money TO make start with. Some go
to work ON the railroad, but many buy
oxen, wedges, etc, and go up the Narrow
Gauge TO cut wood, preierring TO be their
own boss. They are just the class OF men
needed here, and they report that many
are coming. One man said he knew n
section from which 700 were coming to
this state.-Ex. Many OF thege seem to
be coming to Linn county. Our people
should treat them we'll, not as business
speculation, but because they have been
treated badly long enough and deserve q
kindly pat after years OF crop failures
and cyclones.

not be great, and the benefits would be
sure and many. All that is required is
