Escaped Assessment for y.

For several years lots in block = acihc
place, haze yielded no revenue to the city
and county, owing to a mistake in the or
boundary lines were Eot properly given.
and hence the lots could not be properly
described by the city and county assessors.
few years ago another plat was drawn,
in which the lots were properly outlined.
But for some unknown reason this plat
was never filed. City Counselor Middle
brook and County Counselor Reed nave
consulted and evolved a plan whereby they
can compel the property owners TO pay
their city and county taxes.

The park board met in executive session
Yesterday afternoon. The question before
the board was what to do with the issue Of
SIS 600 North and South paseO certificates.
certificates are payable in currency
and bear Z per cent interest. The board
has been negotiating with a large Eastern
financial institution for several weeks. This
institution proposed to take the whole issue
at par. but OF late there has been a hitch
in the deal. As the board has received
many requests from others for a part of
the issue, it will advertise for bids next
week unless the Eastern firm closes the
contract without further delay

High Water.

The recent heavy rains have caused
the ere ks to swell up like a spring
freshet, even the mighty Columbia
seems to have taken on q new life and
has risen few feet.
Mill creek is particularly bother
some just at present. When the o. R.
& N. Company began building new
bridge, it was deemed necessary to
change the he'd of Mill creek further
south. This was done by digging a
long ditch near the long trestle and
throwing up false bank on the north
side. This worked very well while
the creek was small stream, but rs
soon as it began to swell up to re-
spectacle cresk the banks commenced
giving away until at present nearly
the whole fiat between the two bridges
is over run with water which threatens
to carry away the new fill at the west
approach of the new bridge. This
would be serious loss to the COM
pany as it has taken about fifteen
teams nearly two months to do the
work.

After the entertainment at the
opera house had closed last Saturday
evening, Prof. McEwen was invited
to the hall of Cascade Lodge, where
he was entertained by the mem bers,
and in return entertained the lodge
by performing soma clever acts in
mind reading and legerdemaln. A
splendid lunch had been prepared by
the Baldwin restaurant and was heart
lily enjoyed by the uttered fraternity.
Then Prof. McEwen devoted half an
hour to showing his ability as mind
reader and sleight of hand performer.
The feats he performed were very
clever, and at the close of his perform
ance the herd voted that he was "all
right" At the close of the evening. a
resolution was passed which in effect
was that Cascade Lodge endorses Prof.
McEwen as a perfect gentleman, a
hypnotist of marked ability, and one
whose entertainments are Of nature
that the lodge cheerfully recommends
to their brother Elks throug hout the
country.

There is now being m iGe in EIgeue.
a large marble monument. the de=i|
of which was copied from grant
sarcophagus in the Forest Lawn GENE
terry, of Buffalo, New York. Thr
monument is to be erected to the mem
.ory of the 43 persons who lost their
lives in the Silver Lake holocaust.
Christmas eve, 1894. The monument
proper consists of a marble base on
which rests the die. On this will be
carved the name and date of birth o.
each victim of the awful disaster. Next
comes the cap, and in an appropriate
place on this Will be inscribed:
Erected by friends to the memory
of those who perished in the fire o
Silver Lake, Oregon, December "a
1894"
On the face and back of the die vii
be two finely carved columns. The
whole is surmounted by a plinth and
draped urn. When completed the
monument will rest on two bases o.
Lake county stone, and will stand II!
feet high. The stone will be hauled
across the mountains over the Mill
tary road as soon as possible next
spring. Three four-horse teams will
be required to perform the task, as the
various parts will weigh over five tons,
and the journey will be long and diff
cult, but will be accomplished much
easier over this route than by shipping
to Ashland or Ager and hauling from
there over the mountains.

Railroad RumOrs.

The Oregouian, and a number OF
valley papers. state that the o. G. & E.
Railroad Co., is preparing to extend
the road into Eastern Oregon, next
summer. Mr.. A. B. Hammond, presi-
dent of the road, confirms the story.
The road is intended to traverse the
country between Prineville and Pen.
dleton. The line has been surveyed,
and the engineers found the road
would be easy to construct east of the
mountains. Crossing the mountains
little to the northwest of Mount Jeffer
son the route runs to the southwest,
touching Prineville, running along
Malheur lake, thence bending north
easterly and descending the Malheur
valley. The country north of US is not
to be outdone in railroad building,
if newspaper reports are to be be-
lieved One road starts from Vancou-
yer and is intended to tap the country
tributary to Goldendale, and another
road is on paperafrOm Tacoma to Col
dendale, and proceeding to the Colum-
bia river at Columbus.

Henry Smith, VS.. J. G. and 1. N. Day.

drs. Ida Il. Pierson. of Susanville, Became
Suddenly Insane.
The people of Long Creek, in Grant
county, were thrown into state of ex-
citemeut on the 4th inst, by the
appearance on the streets of woman
carrying a caseknite and stone
weighing five or six pounds, and who
stopped and told everyone she met
that her husband was trying to kill
her. She was almost barefooted, her
shoes being worn out by a fearful
tramp in the mud and rain. Her dress
was torn an1 muddy, and her hair was
hanging down her back. 1t soon be-
came evident that she was insane, says
the Long Creek Eagle.
AS soon as her condition became
known she was taken in charge by
City Marshal Ward, who took her to
the Menunental hotel, where she was
kindly eaned for, and made as comfort
able as possible by number of ladies
who kindly volunteered their assist
ance, and everything that could be
was done te relieve her mind of the
horrible delusdon, but only with tenn
porary results. The next morning
she was placed Under the care of a
doctor. who has hopes that she may
yet recover her mind.
1t was soon learned that the woman
was the newly-wedded wife of N. Pier.
son, who resides near Susanville. about
20 miles east of Long Creek, and that
she had suddenly became insane the
night before her appearance in Long

modest and talks nationally only in the
presence of the man whom she seems
to utterly loathe. She was married
about three months ago in Canada to
Pierson, who became acquainted with
her through an advertisement for cor

led to a meeting and a wedding the
following day, and a long journey to

Unsuccessful Burglary.

Some time last night an attempt was
made to burglarize the Diamond mills.
An entrance was effected by prying
open awindow on the north side of
the building. The robbers evidently
were looking for the safe with view
of cracking it. but were probably scared
away by some one passing by. Moth
ing was missed about che mill this
morning, and the robbers did not dis
turb or try to move anything. and if it
were not for the fact that the window
was broken no one would have known
OF the attempt. 1t is a good deal of
work for one man to watch the town
during these nights. when there are so
many tramps going through town, and
it is a wonder that more robberies
are not committed.

Thomas Carlyle who was charged
with stealing a dog from Richard
Brookhouse, had his preliminary ex-
animation before Justice Filloon yes
terday afternoon. The testimony as
far as introduced tended to show that
Carlyle was seen to call the dog, tie
rope around his neck and lead him
away. The horse which the defendant
was alleged to have been riding at the
time was tracked by the peculiar shoe
it had on. No testimony having been
introduced by the defendant, Judge
Filloon bound him over to appear be-
fore the next grand jury in the snm
of $4,000.
