A Boy SHor.-At last some other coun-
ty than Lane has had gun accident:
The Corvallis Times tells about it: There
was q shooting scrape, accidental or
otherwise, in Kings valley, Monday,

as & result. The wound was made by :
ball from an old fashioned Colts six
shooter in the hands of the boys brother.
The boys were alone at the time and how
it happened is not known as the stories
they tell are conflicting. From Dick
Dunn, it is learned that the weapon be-
longed to a neighbor of the McTmmons'
family. The neighbor was killing hogs
when the boys came along. Alter they
had gone the man missed his revolver
and started after the boys. En- route he
met the boys mother and told her of the
facts. The report of pistol about that
time hurried them to the scene, and on
arrival one of the boys was found wound
umoned but it was found the ball, after
passing through an almanac in his pock-
ct had struck one of the boys's ribs, in
fiicting only slight wound,

A SMALL FIRE.-A fire alarm sounded
at o'clock Saturday night, promptly
responded to by the fire department,
whose services were not needed though.
III. V. Clark, st. Louis drummer, had
been in the sample room of the Revere
house, where lamps are used, the only
ones used in the house. Upon going out
IN some way, not exactly known, the
lamp left burning was exploded. An
alarm was given. Wet blankets and water

HEAVY IM1IGRAT1oN NANucIPATED.-The
Portland Sun says: There is great de-
Mand from the eastern and southern
states to the Oregon board dofimmigration
for information concerning this state, its
leading industries, cities, population, to-
Rether with statistics concerning its wheat
and other crops. The officers In charge,
TO supply this demand, have sent num-
berless phamphlets to the various states,
but especially to Nebraska, ) Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas and Texas. We may confident
Iy expect large increase In the number
of immigrants next spring from points
further east. at least, 60 state those in
formed on the subject.
THERE are over 125, 900 school children
In Oregon, many of them cannot have
school more than few months during
the year. The state gave S7L cents
each or about $4,000 to the pnblie
of the state. The university OF Eugene
with an attendance of about 250, receiv-
ed $77, 900, or $30S per pupil. This is
class legislation with vengeance. But
the worst feature of the whole business
is that of old McEroy, is to draw s., ,000
ayear teaching something he knows moth
ing about and is now too old to learn-Sa-
lem Post.
CONSIDERABLE DIFFRREScE.-The DEN-
oCRAT few days ago mentioned the sale

fact there were 271 ,920 feet of it, nearly
sixty miles of rope.
LIVE INSURANCE TndEs.-All through
Oregon there is live time in insurance
circles on account of the Northwest 60
ing out of business. Other companies
are rustling to take up the n. w. pol.
icies. There is somewhat of a dispute
as to who can do it; but the present
status is that any one can do it who frs
gets the consent of the insured at leas
that is the present experience.
