Two GAME Aws.-Two bills have
been introduced, nearly alike. One pro-
vides thar ''if any person other than an
officer on lawful business, being armed
with gun, pistol or other firearm, shall
60 or trespass upon any inclosed premises
or lands, without the consent OF the owner
or possessor thereof, such trespAsser shall
be deemed guilty OF mixdemeaacr and
upon conviction thereof shall be punished
By fne not less than SIG nor moro shan
<5c, and In default OF the payment of the
fne imposed shall be committed TO the
jail of the county In which the ofcnse IL
committed one dav for every 50 of the
said fne." One OF the bills makes II IN
lawful for hunters TO shoot from or upon
the county road, and dogs trespzssing up
on the premises or lands OF another may
be killed by the land owner without further
ceremony.
MoSTGoMERY DiseHAKCEn.-In the
United States district court at Portland yes.
terday r X Montgomery, formerly cf Albany
was arrzigned on an indictment charging
him with sending an obscene letter through
the mails. A plea Of nc, g1ilty was co.
tered, and the Gaze vent 10 trial. Prosecai-
=
and Ssrahan & Piper and ] X wczihesfoF6
for the defendant. The coart decided that
there was no, Sufficient proof TO show tha,
the letter was vritien by the defendant, azd
the law would nei allow OF his admittedly
genuine wiring being used 10 compare piih
the letter in question 10 establish his guilt.
There was therefore nothing for the United
States attorney TO do ba. enter "nolle, and
Montgomery was discharges.
A NOTICEABLE FACT 1T iS fzci that
has been noticed several times. that when
ever there is good prospect Of the Oregou
Pacihe doing something the OregoniAn
particzlarly throws cod water on the YsQuina
harbor. just now the entlook Is good and such
an occurrence is noticed The Otegoai.n
says civil engineer has investigated the
matter and reports that il would cost
$50, ,ooo. 600 TO make a IS foot channel at
Ysquina. There Is almost such 4 channel
now, andi the repot IS probably not true
In any respect. Ia all probability il Is
manufactured for the OCCASION, In view Of the
present investigation taking place. The
statement is ridiculous one. Its undoubt-
edIy true that Portland hghts this improve
ment secretly in every manner possible.
A PATENT RoAD.-A great deal is said
about better roads. Here is a remedy
from the Pacific Farmer: n S Biddie of
Eugene has received a patent on q wagon
| road ior which he claims many things.
Among them are that il is possible to
make an Easy grade up our worst hills: /:
to prevent wagon ruts and chuck holes /;
that it requires no ditching or turnpik-
| ing and can be built at little cost. He
also claims that team or horse can draw
| twice as much on his road as on any other
road now known, and so confident is he
of its success that ne is willing to give
the plans and specifications for one mile
OF road and that will apply during ls9
WILL TAKE THE PAss.-Here is another
from up the Santiam, nearer the author
tiles than we: It is reported that the
| Q b q q railroad company are surveying
from Boise City this way and will come
through the pass that the o = did intend
to go through as they think that the o P
has held that pass long enough and they
want to get into Western Oregon to the
Pacific Coast and as this Is the most
practical route and the shortest they
propose to use that pass to get to the
sea shore
The FIRsr.-Ata meeting of an Al
bany literary society, a question asked
on American History was "who WIS the
first county clerk of Linn county," The
answer was Mr. NJ c Chambers, who is
now an honored resident of this county
residing few miles from Albany. "Who
was the first delegate to congress from Ore
gon~ answer, J Q Thornton, form erly of
this city, who died at Salem, few years
ago. Thornton, though, was not allowed
to serve lsng, II al. all.
SOME LIVE MES.-L II McMahan Is
making arrangements to start an inde-
pendent evening daily in Salem. Salem

papers; hut McMahan is q arustler all
over. So is Bob Hendricks, likewise
