At Gate creek, in Lane county, while
alone, John Ciss came across large
brown bear, called by many the Oregon
grizzly, says the Eugene Guard. He
shot bruin a couple of times with his
winchester, but it seemed to have only
the effect to infuriate the animal. A
shed was in close proximity, and Mr..
Ciss hastily climbed on the same, but
was not a minute too soon, as the bear
was at his heels. From his eminence
he shot the bear at least dozen times,
six of the shots taking effect in the
head, before death came. The bear, al
though quite poor, weighed over 300
pounds. Mr.. Ciss, who lives about one
and half miles north of Eugene, ie
quite proud of his achievement.

The receipts can be depended upon as
not varying greatly this year from last.
The expenditures, the council estimates,
can be reduced as follows: During the
year two years. water rent was paid,
which at 1878 a year, would save this
year that amount. Then for lights $409.-
80 were expended, which amount could
be applied for lighting purposes. These
sums added give $7S2.3O.
In looking over the items we note one
of $12S.50 charter expenses, which it ap-
pears ought to be saved, and it looks as
though the sum of $l62.50 for insurance
was an extra large sum for that purpose,
considering the value of the city's prop
erty, but leaving the latter out and add
ing the charter expense to the savings,
and it would make $910.SG. OF course
the big item that eats up everything,
and which cannot be reduced, is the in
terest amounting to So, ,420 year, sum
nearly double that required to light the
city. We believe, though, with close
economy, the amount could be made
considerably larger than that sum, and
the balance could be arranged for.

A Historic Relic.

TIE fgurehead of the famous flagship
Hartford has been presented to the city
of Hartford by Commander Hichborn of
the Washington navy yard through
Senator Hawley, and the citizens are
pleasantly ag;tated over the manner of
the reception of the gift and its perma-
nent resting place. 1t is proposed to
have parade on a date 10 be named,
to be followed by an historical address
and other exercises. Some of the more
enthusiastic would make the parade
rival that of "Battle-Flag day." an
ever-memorial day in Hartford, when
the war veterans escorted their tattered
battle-hags from the arsenal to the state
capitol. That, however, was years ago,
and nearer to the days of the war
spirit. A much more modest demon
stration is expected now. The relic,
which is described as artistic and IN an
excellent state of preservation, will
probably be placed in the capitol with
the battle-fiegs and the statue of the
war governor, at least until the city has
fre-proof building to shelter It.

Last Saturday Lloyd Robinson and
Oscar Gosser went hunting on Mill
creek. About eight miles up the creek
they scared up an eagle, and Lloyd Rob-

tip to tip. They were only able to carry
home one claw and the tail, which they
proudly marched into town with, like

A Giant Tree.

George Perringer a few days ago re-
turned with his family from visit to
the principal cities of Puget sound.
Among the things which interested him
most was a giant of the forest near New
Whatcom. This was a red fir tree
measuring SO feet IL inches in circum-
ference and 4S0 feet in height. A card
tackled upon it informed the traveller
that there was sufficient material in it,
if cut into lumber, to build five 7-room
cottages. Furthermore 1t has been cal
culated that the tree, if cut into one
inch strips, would, if the strips were
placed end to end, reach from New
Whatcom to China.

Bad Roads Are Expensive

. Bad ropds, mud, ruts and ire
gularitiesarc expensive things. An
old farmer used to say that ruts and
freezing and thawing cost him a
new wagon every five years. Very
few people realize what rough roads
cost them. OF course it is only
bolt to-day, tire tomorrow, a
wheel sprung next week or an axle
warped out of shape at some other
time, but these things come, some
times overlapping like shingles on
a roof. They are put down to wear
and tear aud in way accepted as
the inevitable simply because roads
have always been bad and one
scarcely has Il right to expect any
thing else. But the difference in
the lasting qualities of wagon on
a thoroughly good road and an ex-
tremely bad one would surprise the
owner of such a vehicle were he able
to keep track of the exact figures in
the two oconditions.-New York Led

THE TIRE QUESTION.


Road students Are Unanimous For the
Broad bearing Surface.
In an article in the indianapolis
Journal on Broad versus Narrow
Tires" writer argues strongly for
the former He says in parts
"Without one single dissenting
voice the students of road economies
say that the greatest road destroyer
is the narrow tired wagon. 1t cuts
like a knife, and, no matter how
carefully the surface is graded and
leveled rut is bound to follow
its use. 1t finds every soft spot and
cuts until a fine reservoir is formed
to hold the rains. On the con-
trlry, the wide tire not only keeps
gravel but also dirt roads smooth
and in good condition. The amount
of bearing surface presented to the
road prevents any material cutting,
but on the contrary, acts as roller,
smoothing out rough spots and solid
flying the smooth ones.
"When the frost is coming out of
the ground in the spring, the mar
row tire gets in its work of cutting
the surface and forming ruts to star
the season with, while the wide tire
is in itself a roadmaker, and in pack
ing the upheaved surface. The wide
tire is also easier on the team. A
much heavier load may be hauled
with the same power on wide than
on narrow tires over any road in
the state outside the larger cities
The same is true ON the farm and il
the fields

with. Perhaps the time is not yet
ripe to dismember Turkey, or per-
haps the powers are not in posi-
tion to agree ON division among
themselves Of the spoils We would
like to see Greece maintain lsr posi-
tion and be able to drive out her
enemy. She has the sympathy Of
this ration at nll events in her
heroic struggle for the advance
ment of the cause of civiliza ion and
though her efforts may be halted by
the selflshness of semi -barbarians
aided by the grasping diplomacy Of
England yet she has proven her
claim to a position in advance of tie
nations which are powerful enough
to hold in check her philanthropic
and Christian spirit.

FOR CUBA LIBRE.

The Cuban struggle seems to have
been overshadowed by the Greek
war, but reports from that unhappy
island are that many women and
children are being starved TO death
by the methods of General Weyler
That the situation is extremely har-
rowing there can be no doubt. Ruin
and devastation blights Cuba, and
she will be long years in recovering
from the terrible struggle she is
making for independence. Before
the close of this century there should
be an end of Spanish cruelty and
Turkish dominion, and the civilized
and Christian nations should unite
in suppressing both. The people are
tired of the diplomacy which aims
only at the aggrandizement of a ma
tion by enlarging her territory
while totally disregarding the claims
of liberty and Christianity. Such
may be craftsmanship in one sense
but not in the broadest and best
sense of the word, and the masses
will see that leaders whose views
are thus contracted are deposed
from power.

EDITORIAL.
THE BATTLE OF MINIs1NK.

THE BATTLE OF MLNISINK.
We have read "Woodburn, " which
is poem by Charles e. Stickney,
describing the part taken in the bat
tie of Minisink by the Jerseymen.
A map accompanies the pamphlet
which shows the location and gem
eral contour of the locality of the
fight. We visited the spot in July
1879 and the map bears out very
clearly our recollection of the aspect
of thescountry, and would give any
one an excellent idea of the sur
rounlings. This accompanied by
the description brings to mind quite
vividly the sad and stirring event
which transpired there over cent
ury ago, and which brought sadness
and desolation to 50 many homes.
The poem is good, and the notes
are of excellent historical value.
We wonder, however, that Brother
Stickney was not more careful as to
typographical errors in a work of
this character. On the whole it is
very creditable, and as containing
matters of historical interest will
awaken a new zeal among those who
are curious as to the early history
of the valley.

has been gained by allowing the
