"The completion Of the Oregon Pacific

awaited by the people here. A large

HIca ToNEp cELhsrrALs. In response
to a dispatch Chief OF Police HOLMAN last
night, when the overland nrriyed, arrested
two Celes.ials, Chung and Hop. Deputy
Sheriff Griffin arrived IN the city today
and took them home. Considerable in-
terest was excited In the matter on account
Of the high toned appearance OF the Chi
nanen. Chung was the leading actor At
the theater, the female personator, ETC.,
and received tIsoo year. Hop was one
Of the musicians. The former received a
$500 advance, according to their custom,
and taking about $500 worth Of fne silk
costumes, they skipped out. Wl.er II was
time to begin business last night, they were
not on hand. Their tickets were from
Oregon City TO MarysvIlle, Call. The
prospects are good for Chung and Hop
running emery wheels at Salem.
SCR BoILED Eoss. DIR G S whgh,-is
what the boys call "losher' and the
other fellows usually suffer. but once IN
while the fun u ON the other side. Doc
has gone Into the prnne and poultry busI-
ness on large scale and the other day
purchased setting Of Wyandotte eggs TO
please an old hen OF his that was determ
iEed to set. On his way hsme with the
eggs he stepped into Logan's barber shop
and said few words and left, forgetting
the eggs. The boys took them In the
bath room and boiled them and Ia q few
minutes Doc came back and cot them.
He placed them under the hen and anx-
iousiy awaited the result Continual talk
about his new breed Of cooked chicken
made him think and no hroke one of the
eggs. lie has not said word since, says
the MeMInnsiIle TelePhone-Register.
PLEAD THE PAuPER Acr.-Of all the
ridiculous resolutions for party TO psss
is that by the republican county eonVen-
tion Of Marion county. Here II 10:
Resolved, That the public roads Of
the state are in deplorable condition,
aud that il is the duty Of our state lsals-
lature to do all in their power 10 better
them, and that the legislative delegation
from this county be instructed to secure
such legislation as wilr favor city and
county improvements" In other words,
while other counties like Marion are
attending TO their own roads, the party
in power OF that rich county pleads the
paupeT act like Q few small counties, and
wants the state TO attend TO its roads,
even its city improvements. For shame.
THOSE GYPuEs.-The Salem Journal
tells the following about the gypsies
now in the city: One hundred and fifty
people witnessed q loot race between
Lew Evans, blacksmith at Knights
shop and one Of the Scotch gypsies OF
North Salem. 10 was lorty yards for IS.
The gypsy won In AZ seconds. He
stripped stark naked and ran like deer.
The gypsies ran foul of a Salem horse
owner who was too much for them. He
had horse not worth 10 cents. as q two
hours drive lays him up for two months.
But he was sheared and fed 10 look slick
and the gypsies gave pretty good cayuse
for him. They traded the 16 cent horee
to q farmer today for = piow animal.
