beats any town ever saw" said ''IIey
Rnbc' follower Of the circus, yesterday.
"In what way" asked the newspaper
man, as they stood near the flap of
tent. "Why," said he, there Is nothing
but water all around here; there's no
wagons, no horses hitched under the
trees, no saddle horses, few country peo-
pie, and no chance 10 work any game.

WORM ssKHG.-Mrs Scott Siddons,

Thursday evening, May sth, Is so beauti-
tul woman that II Is n pleaure 20 not

dens pecularities Is that she plans her
toilets herself, though they are all made
by Wortit

extension Is done Il IL
expected that the Southern Pacific viii
divide It's train from San Francisco into
two sections, allowing those who desire to
come down on the west side to co SO. Ar.
rangemenis have been made TO use the
grand union depntby bnth the east and
west side roads. -Oregonian.
Now that Is compromise measure that
should satisfy everybody, though some
OF the west side folks have always imagin-
ed that they would get the whole business

COW pasture. A. a matter OF fact this side
will always be the main line. Most tray.

CIR TAKEN. Crawford & Paxton have
just taken some fine views OF the pupils
Of the public schools, getting them by

was lively crowd and great picnic
time was had. When the DEMOCRAT man
