closed by remarking that there should
he u | aw providing for the securing Of
costs to the state Ia such easea. Thia
angered Mr. Ray, and meeting Doris lac
took him to task for II, emphasizing his
argument, according 10 the account the
DEMOCRAT, by knocking Doris down.
Doris went home, but the next time he
went out lac was armed. Ray again tried
To stop him, but ON Dorria refusing 10
argue the matter, began shooting ut him,
firing twice. Dorris whipped out his
revolver and responded once. Neither
was hit. Considerable feeling exists
over the matter, and II Is possible there
will he more ~ the trouble.

CHERRIES PAY John Jenkins sold the
crop Of cherries from Royal Ann tree
at the cannery for t3l, says the Eugene
Register. The tree is thirty two years
old, measures four feet and three inches
in circumference, and was set out by his
father when IL was four years old. An
acre Of trees like this would bring 1850. |
/ i Stevens sold $25 worth OF Royal Ann
cherries from one tree. Mr. Bushnell,
who lives just across the river, has about
seventy five trees, that were planted six
years ago, and this year he marketed
about $75 worth.
THE WAY IT rs DoSg.--Albany has
woolen mill and their goods are shipped
TO New York and made up and then
! reshipped TO Eugene and other towns in |
the valley and sold from the different |
dry goods stores. This seems strange,
but a. merchant In this city informs US
| that he gets ready made clothing In this |
way ut dollar suit less than he can
get it from Pacific coast houses that |
made up the output OF the same MILL
Eugene Register. II true il simply |
shows that labor is much less in the
east.
SURROUNDED BY BEAH.-The DEMO-
cRAT is indebted TO Mr. George Harris
for the following bear story. While at |
Fish lake recently, Mr. w Read was |
watching his line in stream there, |
when, looking up, he saw a black bear |
on shelf thirty or forty feet above him. |
He didn't fish any more just then. The
bear also run. Both escaped without
injury. Mr. Reads gun was at camp,
and Of course he didn't care TO shoot his
fishpole at the animal. Will Mr. Read
please tell what Mr. Harris did. We are
Informed that he was in the vicinity.
FINE WHEAT.-Mr G P Knighten mot
III HAS lctb " bduipic Vi Wuedb NJ LHtf
Office that surpasses anything we have
yet seen. Mr. Knighten sowed two acres
of brush land, the brush having been
"slashed," Chopped down mot grubbed.)
He could plow but about an inch or two
deep. The samples measure from TOT
feet, have large and well filed heads and
would evidently make a large yield.
Samples OF timothy equally fine were
|: also left by Mr. Knighten. Parties are
invited to call at this Office and see these
samples.
PROTECT THE VALLEY. - The Salem
Journal says: Rumor hath it that the
] gentlemen composing the Oregon rail-
road commission are at outs, mildly put
ting it, over the proposed adjustment of
freight rates. The southern Oregon
member having got low rates on lumber
and cattle, the eastern Oregon member
having got his wool rates fixed to suit,
the member from the Willamette valley
was gently shut out from getting low
rates on grain, and thereat he very
properly kicks. Right you are Mr. Glow.
A FINE TrME.-According to the Pine
