Says the Albany Herald: II. c. Klepper,

striking roof 40 feet below, then bounding
to the ground distance of so feet farther,
breaking his thighs and arms and mangling
his face in a horrible manner. Klepner is
still aliye, but in very critical condition.
He is 55 years Of age.
Coos Bay Neos: The Importance Of the
fishing industry to Oregon may be realized
better when it is stated that we are now
third In the list of states IN the value OF our
fisheries, and no inconsiderabe part OF our

and past money value to our people.
Whenever our coast line OF railroad is built,
as it will doubtless be, our deep-sea fishing
interests will be ten-fold what they are now.

collection of old papers, and this morning
showed us Boston paper forty-nine years
old-the DdiLq Bee, a MoUNrAIEEKR twenty
six years, Sacramento Union, twenty years,

and Walla Walla Statesman. twenty years.
These old papers give news of the past. and
it is quite interesting to read the news of
former decades in comparison with the prog
ress of to-day.
The sherlfFs Office was quite a study for
an artist this morning On the floor reclined
the speckled dog, seemingly oblivious to all
surroundings, and the good-natured deputy
had perpetrated an old pun upon two un-
willing listeners. The inclination of head,
expression of face and pose would have
formed an interesting picture. But the
world moves, and this ease and quiet did
not remain more than an instant before it
was marred by some one inquring the
amount of his taxes, and all was hustle.
