GArRsvnLR.-- West Shore gives
Gatesville the following very encouraging
write-up: "Gatesville, Or, isa town ON the
line of the Oregon Paciiic,in Linn county,
that promises TO become place of con-
siderable Importance. II forms the base
OF supplies for the mines up the sam
tiam, which are now being worked as
mover before. Land has been purchased
there for extensive smelling works, and
the town il destined to develop good
business from the mining interests Of
that portion Of the state. Opposite
Gatesyille is Kings prairie, which Is
dotted with thrifty farm houses, while
across on the Marion county side is also
a rich country, from which wagon road
is now being built. Gatesville Is now the
end OF the division over which regular
trains are run. II is surrounded by some
OF the finest timber in Oregon, and sew
eral sawmills are running in the vicinity,
while others will be started during the
summer. The town Is provided with
two good hotels, and a considerable im-
petus has been given to business and
building there"
FIGurs AND DRUNgs.-~Saturday even
ing lively contest in the eastern part OF
the city resulted in knock out ON the
first round.
Among Sunday contests man was
knocked out while asleep in an Albany
saloon, by well known Albanian. The
victim failed TO make complaint, as he
threatened 10 DO. At the depot con-
test between a Jap and white resulted
in the former being worsted. No arrests.
During the day John Bell imbibcd too
freely and WIS jugged. Ills first oiIense,
and he won't do IT again.
This morning a hard-working German,
| who had been laboring in the country,
was steered into the calaboose. He
claimed 10 have been robbed Of 500 in
money and silver watch, and il II pos
sible he had. Money, it is notorious
fact, is not safe in q mans pockets when
intoxicated. There are men who live off
such victims.
TME OUTRAGEOUS K X coM.-The
Turner Grange has swung the sledge
hammer pretty well agains, the spike. AT
a recent meeting II passed the following
live resolution: "Whereas, The railroad
commission OF Oregon will coat the tax
payers of this state about $4,000 every
two years without being able 10 render
any beneficial services for the same to the
taxpayers Of this state; therefore, Re
nctgs s-1 hat ri h. ~ rn1f
commission, under the law, as an outrage 1
upon the taxpayers Of this state Resolved, |
That we will not support any nan for the |
state legislature who will not favor, first I
The amending the law giving the cum
mission full power to regulate frcights aud /
fares on the railroads Of this state, or IL I
this can not be bad, then to use his best l
endeavors to have said aw repealed.
r r THIEvEs.-Mr L E Biain has just |
received from New York a case OF suit I
ings but the statement needs modifying. I
The case was received all right but ou
of g pieces of goods there were only "a |
left. II having been extracted while on the |
road, probably by railroad men. The
shipping receipt showed that the box
weighed 3I4 pounds on leaving New York
City while on arrival Il only weighed so :
pounds. This Is said to be sample of
quite frequent transaction, many merch
ants complaining Of goods being extracted.
Great transportation companies should bs
held responsible fer such losses.
A Sos or PoET.-According TO the
following from the Portland Welcome,
joaquin Miller, the poet, had better be
looking after his children:
A brace Of amateur crooks, Webster
and Miller, the latter the son Of the
Sierra poet, were arrested Yesterday
while pawning some jewelry. A search
Of their persons revealed more jewelry
stolen some days since from q book
keeper named Wheeling, into whose
residence they had surreptitiously gained
admission.
Az Olympia liquor dealer advertised,
the other day, for 10000 whisky TASKS.
Two bright young urchine rushed TO the
back windows Of the capitol building and
filed the order before sundown that
night.
The above from Portland paper is a
sample Of what the Washington Legis-
/ lhbufe IAah ilau 10 btailu. Ab HchIly IN
can be learned they deserved it, and lots
Il that kind. 1t is a peculiar fact in this
connection that the members are nearly
all Republicans.
A BIG Pull. Regarding the moving Of
the townsite of princviile, in Eastern
Oregon, the Review, the leading paper
Of the town says: "There Is no use to
conceal the fact that the business men and
capitalists Of this place are only waiting
for the advent of the . r railroad when
they will lose no time in doing 1t Where
the road crosses the great Deschutes river
will spring up town in as many weeks
as 1t has taken years to make Prinevilie
what It Is to-day. There is no secret
about this, as our merchants all say they
are ready to pull uP at days notice.
