OREGON CLIPS.

Eugene had to appoint special

Astorian: Portland will spend
$1,000 entertaining the Oregon edi
tors. They are coming to Astoria
and should meet hearty reception
here.
First Asst. p. NJ. General Clark
sons wIite-up of his trip west con.
tains the following reference to Ore
gon: Oregon, too, is equally great
in its natural wealth and possibili-
ties. 1t already has one great city
in Portland, which is one of the
first three great cities of the United
States for wealth and capital. 1t is
a solid city in every respect with a
future which must prove great if its
! harbor does not fail it, as it Is more
than confident it will not. 1t has
the same sort of American spirit
that Its neighbors have. 1t is good
to see the faith in the country and
the pride in the flag
The census is "otlr all around.
1t controverts its own figures, as is
shown by the Dalles Times Noun
taineer: At the last June election
The Dalles cast 800 votes, and Al
bany lOl9-twenty more. The pub
licatioD of the approximate popula-
tion OF Oregon gives Albany 1000
and the Dalles 5000. Why is there
such disparity between the popu-
lation of these two cities in the
enumeration, when there were only
twenty votes difference last June?
There must have teen something
wrong somewhere. The population
of this city was estimated-from the
votes and the number of school
children enrolled-at nearly 5000,
and the most sanguine expectation
of real estate dealers in Albany
placed the population at the same
figures. The census gives Albany
more than double, which Is absolut-
ely ineXplicable.
Eugene Register: Mr.. :. J.
Shrum, living ten miles from Acme,
was roughly handled by n bear sun
day the Goth. He went blackberry |
ing with his wife, taking his rifle
with him because bears were known
to be roaming in the berry patches.
] hey had not gone far from the
house when he discovered a bear
that he shot at and probably killed;
and as he fired, another jumped out
Of the brush between himself and
he bear he shot at. This one he
followed with his dog for an hour or
more, and as Mr.. Shrum was pass
ng from one ridge to another he
was met by the bear in the thick
brush Of the ravine. They were
within ten feet of each other before
either was aware of the situation.
Mr.. Shrum got a shot, but the bear
got him about the same time, biting
lim through the hand and wrist,
md also in the thigh and shoulder.
At this point the dog came and Crap
)led with the bear, and both disap-
,eared in the brush. Mr.. Shrum
wandered home with his lacerated
nd broken hand, and was con-
eyed to Acme for treatment, w.
J. Carle went to the scene of the
ncounter Monday and found the
,un, and only thirty feet away
ound the dead bear measuring over
tx feet in length.

sented their Captain, P. J. Glas, with an
elegant sword and belt Colonel ]. W.
Guthrie made the presentation speech, and
reviewed the career of the Captain from
the time he enlisted as q private in 1888.
He had held every position, from the low
est up to that he now filed, and could look
back with pride on his record. The Colonel
complimented Captain Glas for the excel
lent manner in which he managed his
company and reduced the debt from $1,000
to very small sum.
The recipient of the present was COM
pleteiy taken by surprise and replied
briefly, thanking the company for the gift
and the many other courtesies extended
him.
Remarks were also made by Lieutenants
Lloyd, Maydwell, Humphrey and Msior
Wallace. Messrs. Ogg, Potter, White,
Cook, Blake, Higgs, Murphy and others in
many ways contributed their share to the

is engraved on the back-guard of the
sword: Presented to Captain P. ]. Glas

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Mysterious Disappearance and Death of
Nicholas Schadt.

Nicholas Schadt.
About hatf-past 5 o'clock yesterday
morning a fisherman named Halpin,
while rowing on the river opposite Suffer-
vile, discovered the body of man floating
down the stream. He caught the body,
and making it fast to the boat, lowed it to
the shore.
Word was sent to Coroner Clark of this
city, and the remains were taken to the
Morgue. They were sfterward identified
as those of Nicholas SchaSt, of this city.
On his person was found some money and
papers.
Mrs. Schadt was Immediately notified of
the drowning of her husband, and after re-.
covering from the shock ct receiving the
news, she said that he left hcme last Thurs
day, without telling anybody where he wes
going, and that was the last she had heard
of him until his death. She said she in
formed the police on Friday last. but these
officials gave an example of their shrewd-
ness by keeping the facts from the press
until the body was found.
An inquest was held on the body last
evening, but the only testimony taken was
that of the fisherman who found the body.
and W. f. Peterson. The latter testified
that he had known the deceased for about
twenty-three years. He was not a drink.
ing man, and was never known to have
been intoxicated. For the last two or
three years the witness said he had noticed
that Schadt's mind seemed TO be failing
him.
Deceased leaves a wife and eight chill
dren. He was native of Bavaria, 56 years
OF age, and came here in 1851 He was a
brother of Mrs Mike Brvte and in former
years had an interest in the Ashland Dairy.
The Coroners jury returned verdict to
| the effect that the deceased had come TO
his death by neutrality-suspicious. by acci.
| dent or otherwise was to the jury IN
known.

THE COUNTRY VS.. THE CITY.
Warm Discussion by Supervisors Oy

Warm Discussion by Supervisors Over
Reducing Assessments.
There was a pretty lively debate in the
County Board of Equalization yesterday
between Messrs. Tebbets and Bates (city
members) on the one side. and Mr.. Greer,
country member, who was backed up by
Chairman Ross, also country member.
The discussion was precipitated by the
application of some country taxpayer for q
reduction in the assessment on his property.
There are now about 40 applications be-
fore the Board for reduced assessments,
most of which have been made by resi-
dents of the southern portion of the coun-
ty, who claim that large portion of their
land was rendered useless for this year by
the heavy rains and freshets of last winter
and spring.
The Assessor, it is claimed by the city
members of the Board, had already made
reductions, amounting TO about three
quarters of a million dollars, on country
property, and they thought it about time
to do little talking on the subject in JUS
tice to taxpayers in the city and out on the
high lands.
The discussion was about as hot in its
nature as the rays of the July sun that beat
down upon the people outside the Board
room, the country members championing
the cause of their constituents as stoutly as

pounding on his desk to enforce his de-
mands for order, when he thought that
orators Bates and Tebbets were overstep-
ping the bounds of parliamentary usages,
at which these gentlemen seriously de-
INJURED.
The debate was finally brought 10 close
by some member proposing trip about
town to personally examine properties on
which reductions had been asked.
Later in the week the members of the
Board will visit the river and island ranches
and endeavor to form an idea as to the
merit of the large reductions asked for in
that portion of the county.
