Corner Third and Morrison, FORI LAND, - OREGON -3 Joiik Mvkhb. John Myers, Portland's new chief of police, is one of the pioneer residents of the state. He came to Ore gon from California in I860, and settled at Oregon City, where lie engaged in the general merchandise trade, conducting a successful business for many years. In 18G8, he was elected sheriff of Clacka mas county, and for 12 years represent ed this county in the state senate. "While living in Oregon Oity, he was at one time president of the board of trade and materially' aided in constructing the . first bridge across the Willamette river. He was once the democratic candidate for congress, and was defeated by Binger Hermann. In 1886 he was appointed United States marshal for Oregon by President Cleveland, when he removed to East Portland. After retiring from the marshal's office he was a member of the East Portland city council, and one of the founders of the Commercial k Savings bank, of which he is now presi dent. In politics Mr. Myers has always been an ardent democrat, and in past years his services were in great demand as campaign speaker. - . ,.. Robbed at Salem. -Just after the de parture of the 11 o'clock overland Sun day night, Thomas Cowing of Oregon City, who was in the city on a visit to friends, was held up near the Southern Pacific passenger depot and robbed of (4. Mr. Cowing will be remembered as the young gentleman who served as Western Union telegraph operator at the leginla tive session iust closed. He had been spending the evening with L. Hunter, agent for Wells, Fargo Co , and just after the departure of the south-bound over land he started for the city. As he was passing the cannery on Twelfth street hear the depot, he was confronted by a large, muscular man who commanded him to hand over his money. Fortu nately for Mr. Cowing, he only had $4 With him which he promptly handed the man and then made his way for the town when he notified the police of his Unpleasant experience. Salem Journal. More Experts. The county court has ' employed two experts to look over the books of the treasurer and sheriff from July 1, 1893, to date, in regard to school taxes, the apportionment of which, for the period of time specified, is in a cha otic state. Some districts have received considerably less than the amount due them, Parkplace alone being $1200 short, and the delinquent tax rolls do not ac count for the deficiency. It is also alleged that some districts have received money they were not entitled to. The treasurer has on hand about 600 of school money that is not assignable to any particular district. , Prof. Swanton's Partv. The fancy dress party given by Prof. F. G.Swanton at Weinhard's hall on last Thursday was a success. It was one of the leading social events of the season and over fifty couples were in attendance. All present reported having spent one of the most pleasant evenings of the winter. The music for the evening was furnished by Mrs. Beatriz A. Macdonaid of Portland, and gave much better satisfaction than many an orchestra would have given. Prof. Swanton will give a masquerade ball at the closing of his dancing school on March 23d, for which invitations are already out. Mrs. Macdonaid will also give a concert anu aanee in me near future. , Quite as Industry. A large number of cottonwood and white fir logs are now being cut along the Willamette, from Albany down, preparatory to being raft ed down the river to the pulp mill at Oregon City. A camp of loggers has gone to work also on the South Santium below Lebanon cutting logs for the Ore gon Oity mills. The price paid for logs in the river is about $3.50 per thousand feet. This work has developed into quite an industry along the streams of the Willamette valley. Eugene Guard. Labor Exchange. The Oregon Oity Labor Exchange has purchased the old rock crusher from the city and will pay for same in crushed rock at $1.25 per yard delivered. The directors of Ex change are looking up a store room and it will soon be in a position to receive produce and goods to redeem its lebor checks. The membership is constantly increasing. Regular meetings are held every Saturday evening in Justice Schuebel's office in bank block. Fob Murder of Neibert. Peter Griner and Louis Rogers were arrested near Oanby on Tuesday on the churge of murdering Conrad Neibert, theCanby saloonkeeper, who was killed last May The complaint against the prisoners was made by .uilo Lee, of Cunby. Constable McCownmado the arrest of both jnen Griner is a woodcutter, who has been working on the west cUo of the river ne.u Canity, liters lun u small ranch on Can by prairie, where his family lives. I he matter was postponed till 23 I to give complaining witness time to lift proofs. Aoaixst Railkoad. The loal land olhce has received word from the general land oflice confirming the decision of this olRco in the contest of the Consolidated Red Rock .Milling Co. vs. the Oregon & Call fornia Railroad Co. The railroad com pany applied to make indemnity se lection of land, among which was sec tion Id, 8 north, 3 east. Tne mining company protested, alleging that it had three good mineral 1 ications 011 the sec: tiun and that it was valuable mineral land. Cheap Surveying. A bid has been ac cepted by the surveyor-general for sur veying some rugged mountain sides and deep canyons on the headwaters of the Clackamas at the rate of $3 per mile. How the contractor is to come out even puzzles the parties whose bids were higher. A surveyor runs the risk of being forced' to do job over again, in case his work is rejected by the inspeo tor. In $8 per mile there cannot be any margin for such emergency. School Levy Raised. At a hearing in Astoria last Thursday, Judge McBride granted an order for a writ of mandamus commanding the county court to increase the tax levy for school purposes in this county from 5 mills on the dollar to 7.07 mills, so as to make the per capita sum equal to that of 1892, which the statute requites. The necessity for making the change on the tax-roll will defer the commencement of tax-collecting a few days. bUKi'KibE I'ahty.

His aged mother was with him in his last hours and gave him the tender comfort that only a mother can give. He Iiaves two brother s, George C. and diaries W. Kruse, and three sk iers, Helen C.,Metta F. and Florence A. Krtie, to mourn his early demise. His venerable father, now past "three score and tan" and very feeble from broken health, still survives him, but it is feared the shock will try his failing powers severely. He was a member of tke Patrons of Husbandry, an Odd Fellow and a Good Templar. The remains were buried in Portland. The funeral services were held under the auspices of the Odd Fellows.
