A SruSKY GlRL.--It is not often that q
woman gets arrested for assault and bat.
terry; but such case recently occurred
In Lane county, and attracted consider
able attention there. The Guard says
The entire neighborhood OF Fall Greek
is stirred 10 its depths by row that
occurred there the day before Thanks
giving. Miss May Shanks aged IL, went
to the postotiice at Fall Greek kept by
VIM Wilmot. Ho ordered her away but
che refused, saying she wanted her mail.
Then general row occurred In which
Miss May. wilmott and his better half
Scotchman and New Griffin took an
active part. During the melee Mrs Wal.
motifs hand was bruised and Miss
Shanks was thrown 10 the ground dis
tance OF nearly eight feet. A warrant
WAS sworn out before Justice Hunicut,
charging Miss Shanks with assault and
battery upon Mrs Wilmott. She was
given q trial before q jury who found her
guilty OF the charge, but recommended
her TO the lowest line. The justice assess
cd the fine at $50. Desiring TO further
contest the case, she refused to pay the
fine, when she was ordered committed
to the county Jail for 26 days. The con
stable, Chas Kissenger, brought the

livered her to Sheriff holland. Friends
have procured Attorney Geo A Doris Ia
look after the case In her behalf.

MONEY IN PRuSEs. In view OF the
fact that this is becoming prune country
the following from the Rose5urg Revie VI
will be OF Interest: Almost the entire
prune crop of Myrtle Greek and vicinity
has been contracted for by George II
Pitts, OF Oak Grove, who will ship direct
10 Chicago dealers. The price paid was
SE cents per pound for the German,
French and Italian varieties and cents
for the Silver. This will insure the
growers n good profit, as the fruit Is to be
delivered at the railroad station sacked,
which will be much less expensive tLan
boxing, and 1t Is generally conceded thai
there Is good money In raising prunes al
5 cents a pound. Mr. Pitts will ship aSou,
seventv-five tons of dried fruit and every
sack will be labelled douglas County
Prunes."
APPLICABLE ELSEWHERE. Some OF
our property owners are now and always

needed enterprises, and Il n exactly what
all should de-. The fewer ticks and suck
ers Athena has upon her; men who are
never known TO encourage an enterprise
men who profit by other peoples labor
men who are rather inclined TO speak mis-
OF any scheme or enterprise that
Is calculated TO be of benefit TO Athena.
Those are the kind OF mer that VIC hope
can be counted on the fingers of one Of
your hands, and are 10 be pilied 10 a cer-
tain extent and also held accountable TO a
certain extent--Athena Press.
a MINING CoUSrY.-Baker county Is
now one of the leading mining counties OF
Oregon. Items like the following, which
we predict will soon be duplicated In Linn
county, arc common: "Another output
n the White Swan mine was brought In
70 the CITY yesterday and deposited at the
Baker City National Bank by Mr. William
Mulkey, one of the owners. The amount
was sixty-eight and one-half onces or
lbout $1,000 and II Is now on exhibition at

isburg, Linn county. has raised some
sugar cane as an experiment, hom which
! fine quality Of sorghum was produced
ays the Eugene Register. TIE doctor

han ISo gallons Of syrup. He will next

A LOVELY vALLgY.-ThIs ia q great
ountry naturally. Read the following
rom a country exchange VI the river:
The cattle Craze conten.edly on Skinner's
'utte within the limits Of the city OF Eu
yene. Green gelds, fall flowers, greet the
risitors to our Willamette valley. West
'rn Oregon the southern limits of Jackson
md Josephine counties to the northern
boundaries of the Columbia river cannot
'e surpassed.
Nor THE oRIoN.-Recently the DEMO-
RAT published an item from the West
side in reference TO the naming of Long
Tom. According to IL the name origin
tied some time about 1850. Mr. Ashby
'earce and Mr. Martin Payne inform the
DEMOCRAT that the river went by the
lame OF Long Tom when they came here
many years before, the former having
.ome here in 1847, the latter in 1851.
Hence the story was simply visionary.
