A FORMER CoRRAN.-Hon o N Denny

EA-TAllrOau counsellor TO the King oi
Corea, senator elect IRON Multnomah
county, was in the city this noon on hi.
way to his brothers near Lebanon
Judge Denny considers that China has
the advantage in the war with Japan,
though the Japs are the better and most
plucky fighters and better soldiers gem
orally. His sympathies are with Corea,
the bone OF contention. China claims
Corea, as IL vassalage, and Is entirely ig-
norins a treaty of q few years ago. Japan
has taken up Coreas cause. Mr. Denny
saidto Portland reporter: "While l
was in the service of the king of Corea
there was hardly week passed that the
Japanese minister did not call my atten-
tion to clear violations OF the treaties,
directly traceable to the intim:dating in
fluence OF the Chinese minister to Corea,
and on numerous occasions did / lend
my personal and official efforts TO smooth
ing down the irritation between the two
governments from the cause. dis
covered and exposed two plots of the
Chinese minister which had for their Oh
ject the overthrow and destruction OF the
king. The Japanese well understood the
desire OF the Chinese to get rid of all
government in Corea, and il there is
truth in the dispatch that they have
carried tue king off to Japan, it is for the
purpose of having live king to restore
to the throne after the war is over, II
there is a throne lett
An IMMENSE DRIvS.-The largest drive
of logs ever made in Lane county and
perhaps in Oregon is now being made
from the Mckenzie and Mohawk rivers,
says the Journal. 1t consists, all told,
of nearly SIX million feet of logs and the
real work Of driving was commenced at
the Dodson place, % miles east of Eu-
gene, last Monday. For ten miles along
the Mckenzie below the starting point
logs have been rolled in and the river is
literally choked with floating timber.
Eighteen or twenty men started in last
Monday to wade down the Mckenzie
AMI Keep this immense drive of logs
floating. Two teams are employed 10
aid in getting big logs over shallow
places. MIR Nm Bogart, of Coburg is
foreman of the drive and it will probably
be 40 or so days work to get all the logs
in the mill pond at Coburg. Ordinary
workmen or drivers only get 50 day
this year, whereas they formerly got SO
a day. Many more men have applied
for work this year .han could be given
places notwithstanding tie fact that
wages are low and work of wading in
the Mckenzie is dangerous ard very
laborious.

then deserted her. She had Nelson and
a Miss Fenton arrested for adultery; but
upon examination they proved their
innocence and were discharged. Mrs
Nelson is said to have been married six
times, though she says three times, and
certainly has had an enormous amount
OF matrimonial trouble. Mrs Nelson was
afterwards examined for insanity, but
was not cor mitted.
