Mr.. S. R. Husbands of Mosier, is in
the city.
R. R. Byran prepared for trip to
Antelope today, but reconsidered the
move and didn't go.
We are pleased to note that Mr.. Ed
win Mays who was prevented by illness
from returning to college Saturday is
better today.
A gang of counterfeiters of the most
dangerous class, were captured in San
Francisco Saturday night by N. R. Har-
sis, secret service agent of the govern
ment.
Senator Steiwer introduced a joint
resolution urging congress to make some
effort to extend the time for making
final proof in all cases under the rail-
way forfeiture act. 1t passed both
branches of the assembly on the 10th,
and is now in Washington, perhaps.
Henry Willard says he will not be a
member of Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet:
that his business interests precluded
that. Now, it is to be hoped the next
time he goes to Washington and talks
with Villas or any other man, that he
will not be accused of lying, by some
scoop reporter.
Get your old locks out and have them
ready for inspection. A contemporary
says one of the special committees: To
visit jetties at mouth of Columbia and
locks at The Dalles is representatives
Durham, Nichols, Elmore, and senators
Cross and Veatch. Any kind of a lock
will do for The Dalles inspection except
it be an auburn.
The hand of the q. P. R. Co., appears

II According to the great daily in the bi
city the tscrub-press" of Oregon shoul
Thave nothing to say about the jute-Inil
: project. When that great oracle c
monopoly speaks, however, then tn
3 world must smile an audible acceptanc
: to its wise sayings; such, for instance
as this: IF the state would erect
l large stockade and put inside of it seI
l eral hundred tons of gravel, and the
+, employ the convicts every working da

] to one side of the enclosure and then tn
other, the penitentiary problem woul
: be solved with less cost to the state tina
