CAANhAhS DoNDAOLDEAs-- a veil Known
attorney, who for a number of years past
has represented the Interests of certain
New York bondholders in the o p Iitiga-
ton. recently related his experience in
attending q meeting OF bondholdera in
New York, some of whom hold whole
blocks of Oregon Pacific bonds. While
the said attorney has ever been bitterly
antagonistic 20 the parties who projected
and built the D p, his story is no. alto
gether improbable. In the palmy days
OF Oregon Pacific projection and exten-
sian millionaires and bankers as well as
people of limited means readily pur-
chased the bonds OF the road as a gilt
edge lnyestment-some evtn put every
spare dollar they could obtain and in
vested in bonds of the great transcontin-
entail scheme that was to make Its pro-
lectors wealthy and give the holders of
securities a bonanza in the way OF pre-
miuu, interest-bearIng coupons. Said
the attorney, widow women in New York
City are scTubbing windows and floors
Tor livelihood, who once lived in ease
and comfort, before Oregon Pacific bonds
collapsed on the stock board. A farmer
living in New Jersey went to New York
City and invested his accumula,ions Of
years, amounting 10 Sl2. coo in these
boDds, and not long ago went up from
the almshou.e TO attend = meeting Of the
bondholdeFs; a prominent iinancie-, a
president OF bank, invested 5000, COO in
oonds and when the crisis came was
compelled by the stockholders TO step
down and out; several millionaires
dropped portion of their stock board
gains in tina o p hole. and are figuring
long and hard how to get eTen.-EI.
REMISIscgxr.-The Prineyille News
has this: Il. is claimed that the i'll
fsted vessel, Brother Jonathan, has at
last been located Among those who
went doEu ON this vessel were the
parents and sister OF Mrs Dayton e.
.io.t; also Jerry Luckey's wife and her
two little boys; also q sister of Mrs
Elliott's mother, whose name we have
not now at nand. hrs Elliott's parents
were Mr. and Mrs Samuel : Luckey uncle
and aunt OF l. Luckey, of this place.
they had been east and were returning
home when the old condemned hulk,
known as the Brother Jonathan ran unto
9 rock and sank in few minutes. II is
said that trunk belonging to Mrs Jerry
Luckey is the only property belonging to
the unfortunate family that ever came
ashore. The Warm Spring Indian agent,
whose name we have forgotten, was one
OF the drowned. He had with him <10,-
0O0, which belonged to the Indians.
The United States government never
made up the loss. S y Luckey had wit
him between 5000 and - 900, all of
which funds were doubtless locked up in
one Ell the ships safes. The vessel carried
u 900, ,000 in gold, most OF which was
probably government money"
A LITTLE DEcEYER 1t cannos be
called q little fraud, as it is Of too great
value and is not TO blame for being
misused.
Vick's New Branching Aster when cut
resembles the chrJ santhemum so closely
that only experts can tell the difference,
and as il comes into flower six weeks be-
fore the "mums," and at q time when
flowers are scarce, it is a great temptation
to the florist to sell these Asters for
"mums." The Branching Aster can be
easily grown out doors, and the seeds
cort on.y Is cents per packet, so that
every person who has foot OF ground
:an enjoy grand treat for almost moth
ing.

10 cents may be deducted from first order.
Much MADE.-Money stringency is no'
the only cause of hard times, and it take
very little money to make good deal o
happiness, as the following shows: Nr I
| B Kyle, Tower Hill, Appomattox County
Va, writes that he was afflicted with rheu
matism for several years, and physician
gave him no relief. Finally he was rub
| bed all over with st Jacobs Oil and it cured
During his illness he had spasms and wa
not expected to live. This points a way
many who think times hard. but who ca
find an easy way out Of their troubles.
SNAGs IN THE WAY.-The snag boa
Corvallis has been pulled off the Eugene
Harrisburg route and has been put to wor
on the river between Corvallis and Harris
bDrg. The recent high water lodged s
many snags and other distractions alon
this distance that it rendered the riv,
dangerous and well-nigh impossible.
