HARDER TIMES IL 1seo.-we talk about

HARDER TINES II 1s60.-We talk about
hard times: but there have undoubtedly
been eras when our present times are
good compared to them. Mr.. X. M.
Robertson, of this city. has-iust run
across an old letter written by his father,
in the east, to him, in 1850, before war
was declared, in which times were un-
doubtedly very stringent. Mr.. Robert
son, senior owned large farm but was
absolutely unable TO raise the money for
his last years taxes besides other small
debts. He says: at is all can do 10
raise P. o. funds, and can see no pros
pect OF improvement. We will have a
small lot OF pork to cell, but present ap-
pearances are that il will command only
g hundred. Flour has been bought
for 81 a hundred and corn at 8 cents a
bushel. We have made shift TO procure
some groceries with butter at 5 cents
per pound and eggs at 3 cents, paying 20
cents for coffee and 10 cents for sugar.
We calculate 10 make molasses aad
tobacco enough for home use and have
some to spare il any one will buy"

FRIDAY

AN OREGON PArEST.-Something OF in
terest to every cyelist is the recently pat
ented invention of Mr.. Unruh, OF Nc
Minnville, whereby the cranks on the
pedals of wheel may be adjusted by an
automatic arrangement TO a greater
length. The great advantage OF long
crank shaft in driving uRe hill is in
stantly apparent TO every nheelman. 1t
is claimed for Mr.. gnruh's invention
that it is going TO start a revolution in
ideas about how 10 ride wheel uphill.
BY the simple device of spring and an
elbow lock in the crank, q six-inch crank
can, at the riders will, be automatically
adjusted TO nine inches by merely put
ting the increased pressure on the ped
ais. In going up hill, for example, the
six-inch crank becomes nine inches in
length on the cover and down stroke"
of the pedal, and then, after passing the
center, the spring is 30 arranged
that without any difficulty or
hindrance to the riders feet. the crank
again becomes six inches long.

THURSDAY

How IT HApPENED.-The Corvallis
Times says John McOalb, recently mur-
dered by John Mcdowell, in Lincoln
county, was shot down from an ambush
in cold blooded manner. Charles Hyde,
the fourteen-year-old son of County
Treasurer Hyde, of Lincoln county, and
nephew of Mcdowell, was one OF the
witnesses, and he has made statement
that throws an evil glare over the shoot
ing. McCalb, about o'clock in the
evening rode up to the fence in front of
McDowelfs house. Young Hyde, to-
gether with a young son of John Nc
Dowell stood in the yard, and to the
former McCalb called and asked If Mrs.
MeCalb and the children were in the
house. Hyde answered to the effect
that they were, and shortly after Mrs.
McCalh came to the door, but not out
side, and talked to her husband through
her brother Charles Mcdowell. McOalb
asked her to go home with him, but she
declined to do so. McCalb then said
that he would come after her and the
children the following morning. 1t was
at this moment that the first shot was
fired. McDowelfs ambush was o honey
suckle bush that stands in the yard, and
young ISue asserts lhat ne hsiu no luttl
that Mcdowell was behind it until he
saw the flash of the gun. He is also
positive that McCalb did not know that
Mcdowell was there until after the shot
was fired. Hyde saw the first shot, and
saw MeCalb fall from his horse. Then
he ran around the house TO go to the
barn, when he heard another shot. On
the road to the barn he heard another
shot, and at the barn still another. He
then got his horse and rode to the home
OF his brother, Frank Hyde. According
to Charles Hyde's story there were no
words at all between Mcdowell and Nc
Calb.

the season here is so slow that tomatoes

climate. Mr.. Martin will endeayor tc

interesting case: Aumsville proposes to
take front seat on the hero business.
Last Sunday little Martin and Jimmie
Meyer, two sturdy little fellows agei
and years, went to take walk, but
contrary to mothers orders went to the
mill race, when by misstep Jimmie fell
into the water, and went out of sight as
the water was considerable over his head.
Without moments hesitation Martin
jumped in and caught Jimmie as he was
going down the second time. The water
was deep and the bank steep but fortu-
nately Martin caught hold OF a root and
held on with one hand and TO Jimmie
with the other, keeping his head above
water. The timely help OF another boy
saved the lives OF both children. To use
Martins own language, 81 just didn't
care about my new shoes at all. just
jumped in to get Jimmie, and I tell you
it made my arm ache to hold on and to
hold Jimmie"
