will regret the change.
Arthur Rochester has returned
from Siuslaw where he has been
looking over the prospects of the

resembling such quartz, bat has

The eclipse of the moon last
Sunday night was a most beautiful
sight, and was witnessed by many
of our people. The first part ofthe
total eclipse was not visible to this
portion of the United States. The
total eclipse began at GIG and
continued for little over one hour.
The moon was still in the umbria
or shadow Of the earth till about
S:I5 when it began to emerge.
The heavens were clear and the
sight unobstruc,el. Hal the total
eclipse been two hours later it
would have been all that could
have been desired.
= a kind of a joint birthday party
was given at the home of Rev. l..
NJ. Butler last Tuesday. 1t being
the birthday anniversary of Mr.. But
Ter and Harry Fant, their mutual
friends combined and celebrated it
at the home of the former. A large
crowd of friends aud relatives
brought in their dinner, and a very
enjoyable feast was the result there
of. After dinner the afternoon was
spent in enjoyable games, social
chat, etc. The occasion marked
the 4Sth milestone in Mr.. Buffers
earthly pilgrimage, and the Goth in
Mr.. Fant's. Their friends wish
them many more happy birthdays.

has been customary heretofore to
keep the roll open for months after

=. A. Goodwin, of Nashville, was
down last night looking after some
business in relation to the Elk City
bridge, which he has the contract
TO rebuild.
a good many of the Indians
have been over recently after seed
oats. We are informed that the
acreage Of oats on the Siletz will
fall below the average this year by
reason of lack Of seed.
Steamboat inspectors Edwards
and McDermott are expected over
from Portland tomorrow to inspect
the tug Resolute and the steamer
Katie Cook. The latter, we believe,
is from the Siuslaw and will be
brought around for Inspection.
The frame of the creamery build
ing has been raised and makes quite
an imposing appearance. 1t looks
like business to see a good-sized
building going up, and it will also
show the people that the Yaquina

A public meeting will be held at
the old school house, in Toledo,
next Sunday, March 18th, at the
hour Of 8 p. m. The object is to
perfect arrangements for forming a
Theosophical study-class. which, it
is expected, will lead 10 the organi-
cation of a regular Theosophical
society. Please consider yourself
especially invited.
We learn that some sort of an
epidemic is prevalent among horses
down toward Newport, and in some
instances are proving fatal. John
Nye and George Buford have both
lost a horse peice. Clark Cope

but it has about recovered. It is
time for Frank Stanton to get in
now and lose one or two holses,
just to keep up his run OF luck.
Word CONES from the Siletz of a
wholesale arrest Of Indians for
gambling last Sunday. 1t seems
that John Logsden, an Indian
policeman, came upon a bunch of
fourteen Of them oat in the brush
engaged in some sort Of a gambling
game. Like q Kansas cyclone he
swooped down Oh them and cap
tured the whole outfit, and took
possession OF their cards and money.
Just what will be done with them
IS hard to say.
The 25th anniversary Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Austin Rosebrool's wedding
day occurred last Tuesday, and a
party Of their friends made it the
occasion Of a surprise party to
them. A crowd of young folks
went up TO their place in the even

dancing, etc. a very pleasant
and sociable time was had. Mr..

The press dispatches informs us
that the proclamation formally de-
Clarlng the SlletZ open tor settle

as soon as the president returns
from his vacation he will sign the
same. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that this is true. There seems to
have been no good reason why the
Siletz should not have been opened
as early as last fail, and then new
settlers would have had a chance
to get crops i'll. If the proelama-

ANACONDA CLUB.
One Hundred and Ten Names on the List
of Charter Members.

A meeting of the members of the pro-
posed Anaconda club was held last
evening at the Montana. The commit
tee on membership reported that ITO
names had been secured. There are
many more who had not been seen and
are likely to join.
Mr.. Gehrman submitted plans and a
proposition in behalf of the Montana
Butchering company. offering the club
commodious quarters on the second
floor of their new block, which they
would rent, with water and heat, for
SIPS per month.
James Shields said he had a PROPOSE
tion to make, but had not had time to
perpare his plans. and as there are 9TH
ers contemplating building, IL was
thought best to adjourn for another
week and postpone definite action. The
club will therefore meet again next
Thursday night at the Montana, and
a full attendance will be called for, as
the permanent quarters will be Sc
lected at that time. The meeting last
night was well attended, and there
seems no doubt that the Undertaking

MEXICAN WAR HEROES,

Mexican war veterans are seldom
met in this day. Half a century has
rolled by since such heroes went forth
to battle, and in that period one by
one the soldiers of the '40's have been
mustered into the army that is in the
unknown. Only three of these gray
and grizzled warriors are known in
this part of the United States. They
are Captain Shepherd of Butte, and
bell of Anaconda.
Captain Shepherd is well known
throughout Montana as the vigilant
guard OF Butte's patriotism. iris he

this did not make them want to go

the war was ended. During his camp
life Mac says he finally did become
able to play the Rogue's march, which
was then used in drumming out of
camp soldiers unfit for service, but
that was the only tune which he could
train his fingers to play, though after
the war people generally supposed
that he had served as a musician.

Corrosive sublimate For Potato scsb.

Corrosive Subiimate For Potato Scnb. +,
The effects of the potato scab on the
tuber are so well known and so easily
recognized that a description Of the
disease is not here necessary. Both e&-
perimenters and potato growers have
successfully prevented the scab by i'm
mersing the seed potatoes for one and
one-half hours in a corrosive sublimate
solution, using two ounces of the COM
pound to Is gallons OF water. The So
luton is most readily made by first
dissolving the powdered corrosive sub
Innate in a few gallons of hot water
and then adding enough cold water to
make the required Is gallons.
Since the solution corrodes metals,
only wooden vessels should be used.
A barrel makes a very good receptacle,
and the potatoes may be easily hand
led by putting them in coarse sacks
for the immersion. II not fairly clean
the potatoes should be washed before
dipping; after they have been taken
from the solution and dried they may
be cut and planted as usual. The COR
rosive sublimate is very poisonous and
must, therefore, be handled with great
care. - &

crop. For such grounds the treatment
will not be as effective. =
