lowing. part Of which happened at Albany.
| A singular scene took place on the south.
bound train of the Southern Pacific at a
station in Marion county several days ago
A geutiemanly hop inspector boarded Tie
train, and after being comfortably seated
offered his mileage book to the conductor,
who was arranging 10 take of the mileage
when smother hop man snatched the book
out of the conductor s hand and claimed
it as his property. II Itappeared that both
men were in the employ of Hurst Bros, of
| Sacramento, and are now drumming this
state for hops on commission. The alb.
stractor of the mileage ticket evidently
was on top, as he made use of an unusual
amount OF expletives and statements de-
rogatory to the other man. The name of
this man was ascertained 10 be Bottams.
He was attired in suit of the regulation
dude style, pants Ia Anglatian and his
mustach1 was curled several times. After
while the discharged man laid his fare to
Albany, where both staii over night, the
discharged man going quietly 10 bed; the
dude doing the cocktail act. On Tuesday
evening, when the south-beund train ar
rived, another wordy war took place be-
tween the two. II appears jealousy of po-
sition was the cause. and falling market
had contributed to the downfall of one Of
the employees.

said that the sea lions on the rocks near
Elk Creek are becoming more numerous
from year to year. The heavy storms Of
the past two weeks have proved disastrous
to one colony Of big fellows, seye' al
carcasses having been washed upon the
beach. They were evidently killed by be-
ing thrown violently against tie rock by the
terrific seas. The native sea lion OF This
coast Is about twice the size OF the fur seal
the old male being from ten 10 eleven feet
in length. from eight 10 nine feet in giIth.
and weighs on an average 100 pounds.
The females are not quite bali as large. in
actual bulk, rs The males. Although oox-I
srdly in their disposition tsward man. the
males are among themselves the hersst
fighters in the world II is hard TO obtain
an old specimen whose neck is not cris-
crossed all over by long, deep gashes. or
old scars, made by the powerful teeth Of
jealous rivals"
