interest In bridges we give the FOL
lowing from the Journal In reference to
the present condition OF the so.eall ed
bridge at Salem;
| The destruction OF the central pier Of the
proposed bridge over the willamette rlver
at this city Is about completed and the dc
Stroyers have began drilling and blasting
on the west pier, and It's fate, Is conceded
TO be similar To that OF It's associate. Work
was begun this morning To drill holes for
the so called cylinder piers that are to be
set up on the old remnants OF ruin that
now stand some fifteen or more feet above
the water. From what one cannot help but
learn on the streets Il seeems this brl dye
has but few friends and how Il can stand
and face u fair city and be the ridlcule OF
her people Is hard to understand. II Will
surely endeavor TO drown itself In the frat
high water to get rid of the derision that
Is hurled at It
Two heads OF deer horns locked together
may be seen at Horn 8 Palne's gun shop,
They were secured In Crook county by
| Mr.. Geo. Milllcan, who found two large
mule deer fastened together by the horns,
presumably after desperate contliet.
| One OF the deer was dead aud was being
dragged about by the live one.-Eugene

Mons LIKg Ir.-From reliable data the
Oregon weather bureau estimates the
following average yield for the state
Wheat, twen,y-six bushels per acre; oats,
forty-two bushels; harley, thicty-eight
bushels; rye, twsnty-eight bushels. and
hay, two tons per acre, except alfalfa,
which averages four tons.-Wsst shore.
That sounds more like the facts, and
offers quite contrast TO the report oil
the u. :. agricultural department that
the average in Oregon was fifteen bushels
and in Washington twenty-five bushels
per acre. The U ) A ID the next time
will please take the hay seed oat Of its
eyes and have . mule Kick IL into sensi-
bllity before making an estimate on %
important matter as wheat acreage.
TnE RECORD BEArES.-Romeo and
Juliet will please take an attic seat now
that the following has occurred: WI
Gore, OF Portland, and Miss Sophia Ish,
OF Jacksonville, were married by Rev n
\ Williams at Nediord on Wednesday.
Mrs Gore one year ago was the wealthiest
lady in Southern Oregon, having inherit
ed from her father, the late Jacob Ish, n
fortnne valued mt 100000. Mr. Gore was
pecuniarily poor, but rich IN ali the at
tributes OF honorable manhood. Mrs
Cores relatives objected 10 the match On
account OF the difference In the circum.
stances, and she decided all Of her proper
~ 10 her relatives and married the hus-
band Of her choice. They left for their
home in Portland.
A EXCESS or PIRrruArisx.-Mr. and
Mrs. Hill. living on the bluff. under the
guidance OF Mr.. Dick were initiated in
the spiritualstic circles Of Portland, and
faithfully attended seanecs for several
weeks. The mental strain thus brought
on resulted in a state Of trance lasting
three or four days. The couple broke up
some Of their furniture and the wiie's
hair was cut of in an uneven way. Mr..
and Mrs. Hill evidently "ras,led" with
spirits. City Courier.
REDUCTION WoRKs.-Denver people are
10 build reduction plant in Baker City
the Baker City Oil Concentrating and
stamp mill, rock crushers, Laxiviation
plant and Criley-Everson oil concsntIa-
tion plant aad all things required in the
reduction Of all kinds Of ore into bullion.
Albany will soon need reduction work
IS large or larger.
On THE RwER.-Seyeral OF our valley
exchanges are trying to figure out how
many and what boats will run in the
river this winter, but the more they fg-
ure the more mixed up they get. In
fact they know nothing about it. At the
present time the river is nearly at low
water mark but the prospects are good
for rain during the winter.
NEEDS SPECIAL LAw.-Joe Sinith
was tried at Eugene yesterday for killing
Ambrose OFT, whom he had shot for a
deer, ar was found not guilty. There's
the trouble. Without special law for
such cases no one can ever be convicted,
for it is easy for the man who did the
lab l.a fI.r kosa a.
prove that II was purely and excusably
accidental.
How NANED.-The name OF Shelburn,
= new. town ON the o. p. in this county,
is compromise, being the the first part
Of the name Of shelton, sand the las,
part OF the name Waehburn, the found
ers OF the town. Harmony ought to exist
Should a dispute ever arise, as over the
Rame Oregon, this can be referred to ri
authority.
AFTER THE FRUIT PEsT.-1he nurser,
men around Salem are considerably agita
ted over the order of Gen. Jas. A. Varney
State inspector OF fruit pests, to the effec
that young trees In the nurseries that ar
infested with fruit pests must not be ship
ped until the pests are killed. AS order
have been taken all over the state II vii
mat erially effect the business.
A GREAT scHEME.-The Scott famil,
now doing the valley have great scheme
They give free concert, and then offer
cheap picture to the handsomest lady
the room, charging encents vote, allow
ing people to vote as frequently as the
please. Their receipts are generally larg
In this way.
THE NOTORIOUS VANALsTINE.--T Th
Is tic verdict returned in the case of Va
Alstine, charged with an assault with
dangerous weapon, not guilty. His wifi
who caused his arrest and on whose test
mony he was bound over to appear befo
the grand jury, told different story
court and secured his release. .-Registe
CHEEKY.--Some time ago we publish'
letter from Illinois In referance TO Chs
Waters and Claud Reed, the runawi
painters, Now they write back that Il
same, which had been sent them, was n
true. declaring that the SO called detecti
was only sidewalk repairer.
