The New Money Orders.

The PostofIice Department has be-
gun 10 put ON the market the new
forms OF money orders. The new
blanks differ somewhat from the old
and are very much improved. They
are slightly larger than the ordinary
bank check and autographed instead
Of printed They are done on bond
paper and resemble drafts from one
bank to another The figures used to
designate the amount of an order are
somewhat smaller than the present one
The use of money orders is RAJ idly
growing. especially since the postal
note has been away. In some Of the
cities the orders pass current as checks
and are taken to the clearing house.
This arrangement meets the approval
of the postal authorities. The new
orders will be supplied to the various
postofiices as rapidly as the present
stock is exhausted.

And Whereas, the experience OF the
last ten years has demonstrated that the
saving in transportation charges 10 the
citizens OF Oregon by the opening OF IA

ciic railroad, has aggregated sums which
have fully balanced the expenditures
hitherto made on this improvement al
though the full benefit OF the harbor has
not vet been secured.
And Whereas, the public interests OF
the state demand that there should be no
stopping short OF the still greater adysn-
tages which will result from the opening

The Guard says: Constable Dan Linton
noticed man near the Calef place Mon
day that answered the description of Bill
Brown, alias Jack Brady, the murderer
of Sheriff Bogard, of Tehama county, Cal.
The individual kept his eye on Linton
and his right hand suspiciously deep
down in his coat pocket. Afterward he
went to Mr.. Calef's house and got his
dinner, eating with his left hand and
never taking the other hand out of his
coat pocket. The man was seen by sew.
eral other persons and they all agree that
his description answers that of the muir
derer wanted. Last evening NJ. w. Nc
Murry and Blufcrd Deadmond left here
heavily armed to arrest the man and
bring him in, ii he is to be found, when
the mystery will be solved. McMurry
returned this afternoon and states that
they found the man near Coburg. They
examined him carefully and state that
he answers the description excepting in
height and size of feet. He has been
roaming around the country and acting
In suspicious manner. He told num-

come from the mines in Southern Ore
