Bull aud Bear Fight.

A fight between Il California griZ-
zley and a celebrated fighting bull
took place at Laredo, Texas last week
in which the bull gained an easy vic
tory, as the bear was not in fighting
ing humor.
Great CONSERVATION was once caused
by the bear when pursued in one Of
the corners by mad rushcs Of the bull
proceeding to climb over the top Of
the cage. People made a rush for the
top railing and had not the bear fail
ing in his purpose, had quietly gone
down the way he came up many
would have jumped down 25 feet to
the outside.
The bull was a fine animal and was
the aggressive party throughout.
When the bear was first let through
the trap door the bull Immediately Y
male terrific assault and the bear
completely dumbfoundcd took a
sneak several times around the ring.
Finally the bull made a plunge at the
bears short ribs. greatly embarrassin e
the grizzly. Though the bull under
much prodding. resumed the attack
some dozen time, the bear failed to
put up a margin except in one Or two
instances,

The National ProyisiOncr, the Of

theory has been advanced than the
recent attempt to make the cOnsun-
ing public Of this country believe
that the shortage in cattle, now 80
apparent everywhere, is due to any
other than natllr;! causes. With a
wisdom. however. bcgOtten Of igno-
rance and inability. or Discrimination
to accurately investigate, false and
erroneous news has been trumpcted
in every state in the union to such an
extent that the greater portion OF
the people Of America are under the
impression today that this great food
product is tied up in the vicious,
grasp Of monopoly. 1t is absurd
and unjust to couple the names Of
reputable business houses with con
ditiOns for which they are in no vay
responsible. 1t would be absolutely
impossible for combination OF men,
no matter what the extent OF their
capital was, to corner the beef or
cattle market and the money has not
yet been minted that would do it,"

SILVER IN FRANCE.
Sentiment in Favor or Free Coinage Is
Growing Fast.
The silver question is making tro-
mendous progress in France, and this
state Of affairs is due to the persist
ent efforts Of NJ. Leon Say, thc cclc-
brated economist who has been secrc-
tary Of finance several times. This
gentleman has published in the
Journal dcs Debats Il series Of articles
and his authority in financial affairs
is SO we'll recognized that 4 bimetal-
list league was formed short time
ago. The president is NJ. Magnin,
the governor Of the Bank of France:
the treasurer is M. d'Anfreville, Tile
chief cashier Of the same bank. M
Leon Say met some opposition in the
start, but when his article appeared
in the Journal des Dcbats with the
endorsement OF Paul LEROY Bcaulieu.
the bankers gave up the fight and the
league began operations in earnest
The newspaper referred to has the
utmost influence on the European
money market on account Of the
integrity and competency Of its ed
itors. Leon Say and Leroy Bcaulieu
are members Of the Academy OF
Moral and Political Sciences, section
Of political economy. No one would
dare to dispute their word, and Il
single article appearing in the Dcbats
under their respective signatures
will never fail to influence spccua-
tion.
The presidency Of the league ac~
cepted by M. Magnin has created
quite Il panic in certain quarters. lie
is q gentleman who has succeeded in
maintaining the parity between cold
and silver in the i'rnncl, republic BY
following policy dIamctricalIy Y oppo-
site to that followed by the treasury
Of the United States The governor
Of the Bank Of France insists upon
the point that one metal is as good
as the other, and therefore,. paws The
holders Of government bends intls-
criminatclY in gold and silver, giving
rs rule an equal proportion OF both.
On several occasions, and when ncces-
sary to protect coin reserves, he does
not hesitate to suspend specie pay
mcnts and issue notes. MouOnctal-
list papers have vainly attempted to
prove that NJ. Magnin was directly
interested in the question, but their
efforts were futile: rs it is known
that hccannot fill his present posi-
tion and remain a stakeholder in Il
financial corportion.
The same rule applies to all his
employees, the wife and children Of

being admitted to be engaged in any
kind Of business. Every one con-

A few months ago when the water
commission were seeking deeds for a
right of way for a pipeline and the
city council accepted the survey and
laid out an extension of James street
there were severed who objected to hav-
Ing the street rum through their places
without first being paid a good, round
figure for the right of way. The coun-
ell appointed a board of appraisers,
consisting OF VIM. B. Adair, Maxwell
Young. and G. ZeigIer. and together
they went over rhe property, such as
had not already been dedicated to the
city, and fixed upon THE amount of dam
ags for or against each piece OF prop
erty. Among the gentlemen who claim
ed damages was c. W. Shively, and az
ter the viewers had finished their Ia
bors and submitted their report It was
found that they had assessed Mr..
Shively the sum OF IS. On March 10th

MUST FOLLOW THE LAW.
People Who Owe Taxes Can Save
Costs and Trouble Only by Pay
ing Them.

County Clerk DunSar, Judge Gray,
end Sheriff Hare are kept continually
in hot water by various parties who
owe taxes, constantly calling upon
them with a request THAT they delay
the collection of same for AN indefinite
time. Many of these parties are those
VINO are familiar enough with the law
relating to the subject to know that
the county officials have but one path
to follow, and that is to get in and
collect the same as required by the
statutes. For the benefit of those
who might be in ignorance of the law,
as we'll as to give q gentle reminder
to those who feign ignorance with
an idea of delaying the payment
of taxes or escaping them altogether,
the following section from the stat
utes is given, and explains clearly the
whole duties of the county officials:
Section 2S14-It shall be the duty of
the county clerk of each county after
he return of delinquent taxes, as made
by the sheriff thereof, on the first Mon
day Of April each year, within ten
days thereafter to make from said de-
%linquent tax roll, a true and correct
list of the taxes returned as unpaid,
and a correct description of the lands
Nr town lots If the same can be made,
and to whom such taxes are charged,
and deliver the same to the sheriff of
the county with "a warrant attached
thereto, under his hand and seal Of
the county court, in tine name of the
state OF Oregon, commanding said
sheriff to levy upon THE goods and
chaFttels of such delinquent taxpayer,
and II none be found, then upon the
real property as set forth In said tax
list. or so much thereof as shall salts
fly THE amount of taxes so charged,
with COSTS and expenses, and that said
sheriff be required 10 pay over all
moneys s collected by THE first Mon.
day In July thereafter.

HAND IN YOUR DEED.
Don't Delay the Railroad Operations
by Holding Back Your Deed to the
right of way.

Engineer Jamieson's surveyors con-
tinued their work yesterday surveying
the right of way through THE city. In
e day or two the inside committee, con-
aisting Of ]. w. WEIGH, ]. Q. A. Bowl
by, and B. VanDusen, will start out
and commence soliciting for deeds to
property through which the Line runs.
1t is expected There will be some OPP
position. There always Is when a
proposition comes up which will be of
everlasting benefit TO the whole peo-
pie. But the gentlemen Of the commit
tee will meet all OF them, and 1t is
sincerely hoped THAT the Eckers will
be in so small a number that they will
be as insignificant as they deserve the
people to think them.
Now, If ever, the people not only of
Astoria, but along the whole line of
the proposed road, and across the rv-
er, back In 1.-THE hills of Clatsop and
Columbia counties, every man and
woman should stand like a solid and
insurmountable wall and strive for the
success of Mr.. Hammond's railroad.
To these very people the Astoria-Go-
BILE road means absolute Nfe, a new
and better ~exi5tence-a glimpse Of a
world Of prosperity. 1t means better
and brighter and happier homes, for
where there is plenty of work and
activity there is pretty certain to be a
streak or two Of sunshine playing
about the cottage door.
If there Is "a man or woman from
Smiths point to Goble who owns prop
erty along the survey and refuses to
give the right of way as called for in
the subsidy contract, THAT person or
persons, wfhomsoever they may be,
shoulf be singled and stood apart
from THE rest OF their fellow-beings,
and ever after Summed al one too
narrow-souled to risk coming in con
tact with.
The clear+headed individual will not
take long to make UP his mind what to
do. He will give the desired deed. If
he does 1t through shrewdness and
foresight-uhat does not matter. He
Is entitled to all the prosperity 1t will
bring him, and If he be capable of
looking ahead but a little, he a
easily see THAT Ut Is a good business
speculation. New blood will pour into
the country, and mingling with the
old will set such a pace Of prosperity
that only the brighter lights will be
able to keep pace with the procession.
and the laggards who stand as OBJ
struotions to every move towards ad-
vancement will fall OF their own irtabil-
tty to keep UP longer, and be trampled
into the dust where they rightfully
belong.

Yesterdays dispatch from Sam Fran
cisco says: The steamer Peru brings
news of the second attempt to destroy
the American whaling bark Gayhead,
at Honolulu, by scuttllng her. The
first attempt to destroy her was made
by setting fire in her hold. This was
March S. Seven days later she left
Honolulu for a short cruise. A storm
arose, and while 1t was at It its height,
1t was found that the vessel was leak
ing. and an investigation showed that
three holes had been bored through the
planling, ten feet below the water
line. The holes were plugged and the
vessel returned to port. 1t is believed
that certain members of the crew
made both attempts TO destroy the
vessel.
