they are there for. But under the new law
when the doors of the school are once throw
open for the reception of erring lads, none o
such tender age will be admitted. Th
school is seemingly doing a good work ant
the management is hopeful of making goot
men of some very bad boys. A number o
boys who have been released on parole re-
port regularly to the school as getting alonl
nicely. In their cases reformation has beer
complete. The boys realize the error o
their way IN the past and are now making
amends to create for themselves a CONT
dence and name.
The Perrydale Patriot says: J. III. Rob-
bins caught gray eagle with a steel trap
last week that measured six and one-half feet
from tip to tip and weighed twenty, one
| pounds. The culprit had been purloining
young and defenseless lambs in a fashion
that would soon reduce sheep raising to a
pro6tless industry. Mr.. Robbins staked a
lamb to the ground and alongs de of it set a
steel trap. The eagle swooped down to
gather the tempting morsel in, but instead
got his toes caught In place that made him
forever regret his lamb stealing feats Mr..
Eagles attempts to escape and fierce con-
duct toward his captors were of no avail;
he was securely Grated and forwarded to
Portland as contribution to the city park.
The bird was unharmed with the exception
of a bruised toe or two. which probably had
something to do with the sullen aspect he
wore.
Eugene Guard: In the Monday issue of
the Daily Guard the ordinary announce
ment was made that on tnat day b. B
Scott, of Cressweil, had secured license
from County Clerk Walker to marry Susie
Bodell, of Nebraska. We supposed the
marriage had been consummated, but 1t ap.
pears there was hitch In the proceedings
and Mr.. Scott has lost Susie and the 81. so
that was paid for the license. The pros
pectlve bride was engaged by means of
matrimonial bureau, the contracting par
ties never having met before Monday, the
day on which the license was issued Susie
arrived on the train at Creswell from her
eastern home that day, but something was
wrong, probably the air, water or scenery,
and on the next morning she boarded the
train and left for her old home without hav-
Ing given minister or Justice of peace a
chance to tie the martial knot, that would
have made her Mrs. Scott.
Southern Oregon is spreading the state
ment through its papers that sthe country is
rich IN min-ral. Gold has been picked up
In large quantities, and the following from
the Roseburg Plaindealer inclines one to
the belief that there is tin in that portion
of the state: 'Rumors of rich discovery
of tin ore somewhere In the vicinity of
Mount Strickle, ne.r the head of the South
Umpqua, are rife. 1t Is said samples of the
ore, assayed in California, yielded as high
as GA per cent. of tin. but nothing definite
can be learned from the prospectors, who
are very reticent concerning their discovery
while making extensive preparations for a
thorough investigation of the lode during
the ensuing summer. Small pieces of tin
ore have been frequently found near the
Dumore bar. and on other portions of the
bed nf the Unpqua which render it proba-
bly, that lode of that mineral exists some
where in the adjoining mountains.
