ness in the head so far as big reception
is concerned; "Rev. Mr.. Condit, of the
Albany Presbyterian college, was present
and made a short address, in which he
urged all the commissioners to accept his
invitation to make the valley excursion
as far as Albany to attend the cornerstone
laying OF the new Albany collegiate insti.
tute. He said $4,000 had bten raised
for building the institution, and Albany
is very anxious that the assembly should
attend. The. .round-trip expenses would
be but SS, and the party would stop at
Chemawa and at Salem. Immediately
on reaching Albany at II :l5. the corner
stone will be laid by DIR. Young, the
moderator, and De. McPherson and Er
Sample will make addresses. The opera
house has been secured, and the party
would be treated to q grand reception
and banquet Immediately after the SER
vices closed. DR.. Brown stated that the
railway company will not give the $S
rate unless 1S5 commissioners or more
will go. For that purpose he asked all
who would go to stand. Nobody stood.
This is the result OF the excursion to the
seaside next Saturday, which will cost
nothing. A vote of thanks was voted to
Rev. Mr.. Condit and the people OF Al
bany for their generous invitation.
A CoRRECnoN.- Some time ago an AZ
ticle appeared in the DEMOCRAT under
the caption OF ga Peculiar Case" in
which the statement was made that a
new law question was raised in the way
of an attempt to hold petitioners for
liquor license responsible for the costs Of
the proceedings before the county court,
In case the license was not issued. The
case arose in Turner and the article in
question was taken, as shown bv the
credit, from the Salem Journal The
statement was made in the Journal arti-
Gle that the attempt was made to collect
costs off Ed. Mckinney, and about hun
dred other petitioners. Now Ed is one
OF your died-in the-wool prohibitionists
and never signs petitions for liquor IL
cences. Seeing the article he calls upon
the DEMOCRAT to correct the article
which we cheerfully do, thoogh the
Journal should have been called to ac-
count, asit was the author of the article.
FIRST IN THIRTEEN YEARS Yesterday
we mentioned the sinking of the R G
Young in the Willamette. 1t occurred
about miles rhis side of Eugene. Speak
ing OF the trip the Guard says: For the
first time since June, 1879, the shores of
the willamette here echoed back the
shrill whistle OF a steamboat saturday
evening. The boat was the r c Young,
a neat craft of IS tons capacity owned at
Corvallis. She has powerful machinery
and experienced no trouble in reaching
Eugene, finding plenty Of water. Two
days were consumed in making the trip
from Corvallis, but the run would con-
sumo one and one-half days ordinarily
On this trip large lots OF freight had to
be handled at way points. A large num-
Der of people visited the visitor and re
ceived courteous treatment from the
captain, ] II Dove. He informs Us that
the trip was made to Eugene to demon
strate the capability OF the navigation of
the upper Willamette, and 10 encourage
appropriations for the removal o. obsta-
cles in the channel.
FACED a CoUGAR.-One dlv last week
Wm Barnes, of Silver Lake, while fishing
on Desciutes,cam to place on the river
that he could not PASS without climbing a
rocky bluff. In ascending this bluff he
placed his hand on projecting rock, and
upon bringing his eyes upon level With
the rock, he saw cougar lying secre,ed
among the large boLlders not three feet
from him. Need ess to saJ Nr Barnes
was greatly startled on discovering the
close proximity of his cougaTship and he
did not discuss the right Of nossession with
him, MIR Barnes stated that he showed his
molars in very unfIiendly manner, sc
muLh so, that he called 10 Fiank Poin-
dexter, who was on top of the bluff, to
engage the animals attention while he
finished the ascent of the bluff TIE as;
seen of the cougar lie was entering a cave
among the rocks.--Ochoco Review.
TOOK THEIR WIVES PART.-It is a dull
week in Lane county when live assault
and battery case. does not occur generally
of different nature from those in other
counties. The Gnard says: "W Hixon
and NJ CDavis, who live up the McKen-
zie river 27 miles east of Eugene, ,indulged
in a fight yesterday. 1t appears that the
wives had Observation-Disclosures they
appealed to their respective husbands 70
settle the difficulty The men went at il
with vim using clubs, rocks, etc., and
each received bruised craniums. They
both came to Eugene to have the prose
cutting attorney arrest the other, both
claiming to be in the right After con-
siderable parleying they concluaed that
the properthing to do was to each plead
guilty to simple assault, which they
did"

Toledo Post, which is on the inside with
