Lost Purse.

w. G. Emery was the victim
of an unusual and unpleasant ex-
perience Monday evening while
returning from Portland to his
home in this city. He came up
from Portland by way of Albany
and when he went to purchase a
ticket at the latter city to ride
over the c. & E. to Corvallis, he
made the startling discovery that
his purse was missing and that
he had lost it out of his pocket in
some manner while on the over
land train.
Here our tOwnSman was an
chored hard and fast and was be-
coming abont desperate enough
to walk home when Neil New
house, who was coming home on
the same train, acted the Good
Samaritan and in due season Mr..
Emery rode into his home city.
On arrival here he went to the
telephone Office and sent a call for
the conductor of the overland
train when he should arrive in
Eugene. Mr.. Emery chanced to
be personally acquainted with
this conductor. In due season
the latter gentlemen answered
the call and Mr.. Emery explained
regarding the loss Of his purse.
The conductor said he had not
heard of anybody On the train
finding the purse, bat for
Mr.. Emery to hold the phone
and that he would look through
the various coaches for the purse.
This he did and in a few minutes
phoned our photographer that he
had found the missing purse.
The following day Mr.. Emery
received his purse containing
money and papers. Mr.. Emery
had been down to Portland to at
tend a meeting of the executive
board of the Photographers As
sociation of the Pacific North
west, being secretary treasurer of
that body, and aside from some
$50 or $4o's had some of the As
sociation's paper in his purse that
he did not want to lose.

Time to Dip.

Writing the Agriculturist,
Barnett Y. Roe, of Washing
ton county, Oregon, gives the
following interesting experience
in the matter of dealing. with
lousy goats:
In recent issue you invited
suggestions relative to dipping
lousy goats in nid-winter. From
our experience I would unhesi-
tatingly say; Dip, and dip well.
A year ago our goats were so
lousy that the lice were causing
them to die, by reducing their
flesh, vitality, and strength and
vigor. Considering it a case
where a desperate ailment re-
q uired a desperate remedy, we
dipped-with Little's sheep dip.
We fed them a heavy feed of
grain to give them strength a
few hours before we dipped them
and grained them heavily after
wards. We warmed the dipping

water by heating about one-sixth
of it to boiling heat, that is, we
put one barrel of hot water into
FIVE barrels of ordinary creek
water.
We were careful to keep the
goats, out OF the cold, and shell
tered them well at night. With
in three days after dipping, they
acted like a different band of
goats; began to gain in flesh and
strength, and became more active
and in better heart and spirit.
With proper precautions, I un-
hesitatingly say, dip"

Oregon Boundary Line.

Some little time ago we print
ed the announcement that the
State of Washington was bring
ing suit against Oregon to settle
dispute regarding the boundary
line between the two states. The
following dispatch bearing on
this subject was sent out from
Salem, Tuesday:
Attorney-Genera1 Crawford
completed his answer in the
boundary line case between
Washington and Oregon this
morning. The brief is very
short. It disputes the contention
of Washington as to the location
of the boundary line on all
points, and is accompanied bv a
map marked 'sExhibit ~ which
shows the location of the line as
claimed by Oregon to be from
two and a half to five miles north
OF the line as fixed by Washing
tou. Sand Island, according to
the Oregon map, is in Oregon.
Ga the Washington map it is
two miles north of the Washing
ton line. The briet is signed by
A. M. Crawford, Attorney-Gen-
erai; Isaac H. Yam Winkle, As
sistant Acknowledgement, and

for Oregon. This case will be

POLICE RAID.
The ssChinks" Have a Pipe Dream
That is no Dream.

That is no Dream.
There was a breeze OF excite
ment on the streets Tuesday,
when il became known that the
Police had raided China house
on Main street during Monday
night, and had there found opium
smokers, one of whom was a
young woman.
Monday afternoon the officers
were given a Tip" that opium
smoking was going on at this
Joint from the hours of one to
four a. m., and acting on this
information it was decided to sur
prise the pigtail celestials at their
den at ago Tuesday morning.
Upon entering the place sew.
eral cinnamon were found lying
about the rooms, and in response
to a knock on a closed door,
Butterfly" a 7o-year old, hid
eous old cinnamon appeared, and
the officers entered the apart
ment. Crosswise on one end of
the bed Law Rachel Depew, an
Indian girl who was former
ly employed at a local hotel. In
the middle of the bed was an
opium smoking outfit with pipes,
and old Butterfly" had appar-
emily been stretched across the
other end of the bed it is suppos-
ed. both he and the girl smoking.
The woman was ordered by the
officers to get up and accompany
them. and went into another
room to dress. Awaiting a rea-
sonable time an officer knocked
at the door when it was sudden
ly opened and vial thrown out,
the girl saying something to the
effect that 'they would not get
her this time.'' She then began
coughing and strangling. Ex-
animation of the vial showed it
to have contained Buckingham's
hair dye, only small portion
having been swallowed by the
girl.
She was taken to the county
Jail and a physician hastily sum-
moned who pronounced the pois-
on in the dye to have been, in
his opinion, nitrate of silver. 1t
produced swelling of the tongue
and general irritation of the
throat, but the quantity was not
sufficient to cause death. An at
tempt was also made by Miss
Depewto lacererate her wrist with
a case knife, but she stated that
it was ''too dull"
Two OF the Cinnamon were ar
rested, Butterfly and another
named Ling, and lodged in the
city Jail. A number of opium
pipes and other fixtures, besides
several cans of opium, were taken
by the police. Other arrests areI
likely to be made.
From indications it seems that
the girl had been a resident of the
China house for some weeks, att
least, a fact never mistrusted byl
police. citizens nor even by the
ladies of the w. c. 7. u. freel
