the conditions provided on it. A child's

On recent journey from Salisbury
to Munich the Prince OF Bulgaria took
his stand on the footplate of the engine
and drove the train himself. He made
the engine driver present OF 60 francs

letter from the administration OF the
Bavarian railways TO the Bulgarian

UNDER THE HAMMER.
The City of Eugene Was Sold Monday for
$1,5OO-Cost $4,000.

The City of Eugene Was Sold Monday for
S1.5OO-Cost $4,000.
The stern wheel steamer City of Eugene
was sold by United States Marshal
Houser yesterday. to satisfy large
aggregation of claims against her, says
Tuesdays Telegram, and the first chap
ter in the career of that erstwhile prom
Using river craft is closed. The sale was
made at the foot OF Jefferson street where
the boat is now moored. Three Port
land men, B. f. Cauley, the hotel man
Tom Nordby, of the Shaver Transports
ton company, aud Ole Olsen, the drum
rner, were the purchasers, and the price
paid was 81 500.
But one other bidder was present at
the sale, an agent of Jacob Kamm. 1t
was expected that there would be a
lively contest for the possession of the
boat, but the opposition failed to develop.
1t was said previous to the sale that
Jacob Kamm would be willing to offer
$4,000 for her.
Claims aggregating over $4,000. were
lodged up against the boat. They were
for labor performed, material furnished,
etc., and ranged from few cents each
to as high as $500 and over. The craft
has been tied up since February, await
ing settlement of the suit.
A stock company of about 80 persons,
residents of Eugene and vicinity, owned
the City of Eugene. She was built in
March, 1899, and made her first trip from
Portland to Eugene, April Is. She was
made of extraordinary light material,
and only drew IL inches when loaded.
Her light draught enabled her to ascend
the waters of the Upper Willamette
where the opposition boats were greatly
disadvantaged. Her length is 131 feet,
and breadth 27 feet, and her cabin ac-
commodations are sufficient for 80 pas
sengers. A common firebox boiler is
provided for her, and the engines are OF
ordinary grade, enabling her to make
the round trip from Portland to Eugene
in four days. Her original cost was
about $11, 900.
Josiah Bachelor designed the hull,
and Captain James L. Smith commanded
her, isaac Gray, ] r, was engineer, and
/ Al Kirkland was purser for the first two
months, when Isaac Gray, sr., succeeded
him. The crew consisted of II men,
when working double shifts.
Bad bus FsSess management and
streak OF hard luck combined to put the
boat on the down run. Ali went well ul
till July 1 of last year, when the craft
ran on sunken log on the way between
Albany and Corvallis and sank: 1t cost
$1,000 to raise her, and from then on i'll
luck met her at every turn. The water
got so low that operations had to be
ceased at times, and business generally
was no longer to be had.

causes, but it is difficult to see any
reason why the constitution as it
now stands is not better for the
good of the whole people than the
proposed amendment. Why do
the farmers, merchants, and other
business concerns want the consti-
tuition of the state so amended as
to permit all counties, school dis
tricts and cities to create indebted
ness to excessive amounts in order
that they and their posterity shall
bear the burden of taxation to pay
it? The amendment named, ifcar-
ried, means further opportunity to
lay additional burdens upon busi-
ness men, farmers and all those
carrying the burdens Of taxation, In
order that the tax-eater, the specu-
lator and promoter of booms and
fictitious values may better thrive.
The constitution as it now stands
on that subject is better suited for
the prosperity of our country.
Large interest bearing public in
debtedness leads to increased and
excessive taxation. It is common
practice to advertise for and invite
migrants to call and settle among
us. Before they conclude to remain
they inquire carefully as to the
amount of the public debt and the
rate Of taxation. If they find these
items excessive and carelessly re-
garded they move on. There are
several other constitutional amend
ments proposed to be voted upon in
June, which it will be well for the
voter to carefully consider the effect
of before voting.
