Hugh Nixon returned this week
from flve-~eeks' sojourn in the
Quartzvilie mines on the Santinm. He
brought some ore from his several
claims which looks well and indicate
that his mines are of considerable
value.
Hops on the Santiam bottom escaped
the ravages of the hop louise. The
rapid growth of the vine in this section
caused the pesky vernlin TO be left far
in the rear. It takes an early riser and
an industrious climber to keep abreast
OF the crops hereabout.

gas field by day, and IL YOU want 70 be
contradieted tiatly, tell him that the
prospect Is unfavorable or that we have
no natural gas in Lebanon.
AS soon as our gas fields are devel-
oped-no joke-new industries will
spring up as quickly as the fern stalk
in the spring of the year. Strangers
are inquiring, schemers are planning,
manufacturers figuring and the masses
are looking approvingly on.

obscrvr ton will teach you that the
man who drives away from his own
town to trade, generally has loose tires
on his wagon, the end-gate of his
wagon box is generally out and his
harness is invariably patched with
MANILA twine. There is a cause for all
this, and sooner or later the luckless
trader will find it out.
We were Just little two previous
for the G. A. r.; we had a camp fire
at Tallman Friday night, and the exer-
cises lasted until 1890 P. NJ. or until
the train came in. If the soldiers at
Lebanon had no more enjoyable time
than we had, we are in favor of being
mustered out of service.

The SodavilIe hacks are no longer
running between Lebanon and this
health resort. If one is seeking health
he will find these waters as effectual i'm
