Mr.. Isles brought the hornes, which are
large ones, out II the mountains, and so
closely are they interlocked that all at
tempts to separate them have proven
futile.
A public meeting was held at Ores
we'll, Lane county, few days ago to
agltate the question of removing the
county seat from Eugene to that place.
1t was argued that Eugene was only a
temporary county seat. and that land
and money would be donated at Ores
well for county buildings, and that the
county property at Eugene could then
be sold for sufficient money to pay off
the debt of the county. 1t was charged
that affairs were now in the hands of a
corrupt and extravagant set of men, who
used the public offices for private gain.
} Few people are called upon to bear
more sorrow than Mr.. and Mrs. Jona-
than Wassom of Lebanon. The Scio

J ease and died About a year ago the

J, For a number of years the Southern
4 Pacific Railroad Company has not been
4 keeping a man at the bridge across the
Willamette near Harrisburg, and the
draw for the passage of steamers has
been allowed to fall into disuse, When
- the steamer Messenger went up to Eu-
= gene it had to wait nearly a hours for
} the railroad company to get men and
IL turn the draw. If the steamer goes to
81 running regularly between Harrisburg
and Eugene, it will be necessary for the
L railroad company to repair the draw
is and keep men there all the time to turn
p it as required by law.

\, in the timber near Tongue Point the
other day. 1t weighed about 300 pounds
When Otto saw the bear he proposed to
make an assault in front, and delegated

1t bear saw what was coming and began
VI the assault himself, which scared the
- wits out of Grindes friends, who left
him to do up the bear alone. Grinde
1t saw that he must either get outside of
O. the bear or the bear would get outside
