the midst of general scramble for

have been established which form a
basis and ground work for future
operations, and here are planted the

The New Boat.

About month ago we printed
some information regarding the
movement toward placing a new
steamer On the Upper VILLAIN
cite. The Telegram of a few
days ago gives the following ia
formation on this subject:
The machinery Of the river
steamer Gypsy, which used to
ply Or the upper river and sank
near Independence year or two
ago, is likely to provide material
for prospective boat to be con-
strueted by the Willamette River
Transportation Company of Ore
gon City. The new company
has the plans and specifications
prepared and all that remains for
them to do is to build the craft.
Previous to this time there have
been two corporations and ten
private individuals operating
steamers on the Upper VILLAIN
cite. The organization of an
other company indicates that the
upper river country is prosperous,
and it may be that there will be
business enough offered to keep
all alive in the future. At the
present time the 0. R. & N. and
O. c. T. CO. have been opera
ting their steamers under a mt
tual agreement.

sMr. Kriebe1'S Chickens.

A short time ago we mention
ed the fact that M. H. Kriebel,
who had been in this city on
business during the past few
weeks, had gone to Portland for
visit at home and had taken a
basket containing twelve dozen
fresh eggs with him. On his re-
turn to this city he had a woefu1
tale to relate, 1t appears that he
only reached his Portland home
with four dozen of those 'sfresh
ranch eggs.'' When he boarded
the train at.this city he absent
n,indedly placed his basket of
eggs near the heater in the car
and entered into conversation
with a friend. When he neared
the city limits of Portland he
went to hunt up his basket of
eggs, and to his dismay, discov-
cred that eight dozen of the eggs
had hatched out and escaped du-
ring the run through the lower
Willamette valley. At the rate
they were Matching out it is
doubtful if he would have reached
home with an egg 5a he not
appeared on the scene in the
"niche O. time. - He reached
home with four dozen eggs and
all the chickens he could hold
by the legs.

Referee Proceedings.

| Along last summer, after the
sale of the John Osburn cattle, ].
IJ. Houck brought suit in the
United States bankruptcy court
for the proceeds of, the sale.
This was for sum in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. The court,
after giving some attention to
the matter, placed the case in
the hands of referee, II. Bry-
ant, of Albany. Mr.. Bryant set
Tuesday, March 4th, as the date
for taking testimony in the case
and held his court in this city in
the office of Attorney J. H.
Wilson.
The creditors of the estate
thought that it was only just
that portion of the proceeds of
this sale should go to them. On
the date appointed for taking
testimony witnesses appeared for
both sides and the day was large
devoted to taking testimony.
\ Attorney Watson, of Albany,
was in attendance at this session
of court. He is one of the cred
itors insomuch as he had fees
due him for services formerly
by himself as an attor-
ney. Mr.. Watson returned to
Albany Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Bryant succeeded in tax
ing all the testimony in time to
return to Albany Wednesday |
forenoon. He will consider the |!
testimony and take %the matter
under advisement before render
ing a decision.

Big Bid Fer Lumber.

F. P. Sheasgreen returned
yesterday from trip to Newport,
whittier he went to inspect the
cargo of lumber on the mast
barge which went ashore on
south beach about a mouth ago.
When the vessel went ashore her
masts and deck load of lumber
went overheard, but there is still
about 900, 900 feet of good spruce
lumber in her hold. Mr.. Sheas-
green has placed a bid for 15o,-
600 feet of the lumber which is
clear, with good prospects of Sc
curing it.
The wrecked vessel is in very
good condition, and prospects
are fair for getting her off the
beach without damage, She is
fine new craft, this being her
first trip. Her cargo was the
first output of a new sawnlill re-
Gently built at Goes Bay. Her
destination was San Francisco,
and she was in tow of a tug.
When near that city, the hawser
connecting her with the tug
parted and the captain OF that
steamer left her to her fate. His
action resulted in his papers be-
ing taken from him. The barge
drifted at the mercy of the waves,
until she finally went ashore
near the entrance to Yaquina
bay. All on board landed safely.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Francis Bret Harte, the American
poet and humorist, was born at Al
bany, N. Y, in 1887. He went to Cali.
fornia when II years of age, where,
after some experience in mining
towns, he became editor of a paper in
San Francisco. From 1854 to 1870 he
was secretary of the United States
mint in that city, and in 1868 was
made editor of the newly founded
Overland Monthly. It was in this pub
LEGATION that Bret Harte first appeared
with those vivid dramatic sketches of
California life which gave the author
a worldwide reputation. The first was
"The Luck of. Roaring Camp" and
"Tennessee's Partner" Even more
widely read were his verses on ''The
Heather Chinee," which the author
was afterwards reluctant to admit.
In 1871 Mr.. Harte removed to Bos.
ton where he was leading contributor
to The Atlantic Monthly. One of his
earliest publications was condensed
Novels" containing caricatures of the
principal novelists of the time. In later
years his poetry has been chiefly in a
serious vein.
