1 MoNEY SroLEN.--Mr II s schwatka,
time keeper for Bays & Jeffrey the sewer
contractors, has been boarding at the
City Restaurant for two and a half or
three months. On Wednesday morning
whom he came down from his roem he
took his watch from under bis pillow but
LETT his purse containing $50 In money

been TO take them both out when he
leaves his room, but that he did not do

20 his room at noon aud also Just after
dinner. When he came In from work to
supper, he asked Mrs Brannin II she had
made HE bed, when she replied that her
husband had. lie made il between
and o'clock. lie asked Brannin II no

had not. They then both went up and
searched for II, but Il could not be found.
Mr. Brannin says he thinks Schwatka 10
mistaken about leaving his money there
as no one has key 10 the room but him
self and Schwatka and that no one could
enter except by false kew or going on
top OF the Joseph building and entering
by a window. This Ia the statement Of
facts as made by Mr Brannin 10 Il DEao.

In the city awaiting the arrival of New

whether the matter will be taken In hands

In the project. Mr. Urqnhart thinks that

THE NEW OWNERSHIP RooK.-DaVlt &
kimsey have just completed for Ltnn
county and placed In the hands Of Sheriff
Scott an ownership book. which contains
all the untaxed real property Ia the eoun-
~. II will DC surprise 10 many 10 learn
that In II are about Thousand pieces of
property not on the regular assessment
roll, the gross assessed value of which
viii approximate $4,000. The Sheriff
Will assess the property AE provided by
law and collect the taxes the same as those
under the regular assessment. Davis *
kimsey did splendid Job for the county,
one that will be OF lasting benefit, and win
save the county thousands of dollars in
taxes, yearly amount that can be easily
figured out. This experience Is the ex.
perience Of all counties securing owner
ship books, containing every piece OF
land In the county, In this case described
so deed can be made from Il, and shows
what an immense amount of property has
been escaping its share Of supporting the
different governments.
An OLD RELIC BY the kindness OF
Mrs NJ ] Wigle, on last Tuesday we were
shown the cups and saucers from which
Jshn Quincy Adams and mis- wife drank.
They were her grandfather and grand
mother. Also a solid silver mug that was
once owned by her great grandmother,
John Quincy Adams mother. John O.
Adams was the sixth president Of the
United States, was elected in IS3S and
served one term, going out OF Office 45
years ago, and on account Of these cups
and saucers once belonging TO this dts
inguished man and relative, Mrs Wigle
may we'll feel proud Of them. The cups
and sauceis are solid silver, the cups being
plain and the saacers having some neat
engraving on them. m.-Brownsvillc Times.
ITs DISTRIBUTING PoiST-The o. p.
road has since Jan. lst made Salem It's
freight distributing center instead OF Al
bany as heretofore. Transfers are now
made at Corvallis Of all freight from
Yaquina and ocean steamers Cor all
points in Oregon and is received at Salem
by tri-weekly boat and from here sent to
destination.-Salem Journal. The above
makes wrong impression. Only part
Of the freight Is distributed at Salem and
that only on temporary arrangement.
Freight is transferred here now tie same
as heretofore, but not all OF It. In about
two weeks the old arrangement is to be
| resumed.
| The SEWERS WoN.-The opinion OF
Judge Pipes was filed in the Office OF the
county clerk today iissolving the injunc-
tion that prohibited the city from using
the recently constructed sewer. 1t 10
thought that the Water Co. anticipated
the event, and is prepared to appeal to
the supreme court. It is probable that
1t is question 10 gain time, and that as
soon as conditions permit q new pump
ing station will be built. It would have
been thousands OF dollars in the Water
company's treasury to have done 30 long
ago.-Eugene Guard.
A LIVE PUFF.-The Roseburg Review
