GEX. TYLER'S PROPOSITION.
A Scheme lo Give Salem Weekly
vertising in a Good Paper.
Ail-
In the parlor of the First Nntioual
bank yesterday afternoon, a dozen
or so members of the board of trade
assembled to listen to a proposition
to be submitted by Gen. Tyner, gen
eral western agent of tho St. Paul
Pioneer-Press. He said he had just
left Portland, where the State Im
migration Board had seen the use
fulness of the oiler he submitted to
them, and through their assistance
he had obtained k200 subscribers to
the daily issue of his paper. Ho
proposed to give Portland a good
write up, not being at all niggardly
in the space he occupied, and then
to publish in tho Saturday issue for
a year whatever matter might be
sent from that city for publication,
to the extent of ono or two columns.
He wanted to make a similar ar
rangement with the business men
of Salem; if they would give him 60
paid up daily supscriptions for ono
year, he would give this town and
its immediate surroundings a hand
some write up, of two or three col
umns, and publish a column of mat
ter from this city every week for a
year.
The offer was taken under cousfd
eration by the board of trade mem
bers present, and at a second meet
lnir held in tho council chamber, at
10 a. m. to-day the above proposition
was again submitted.
At the meeting at ten this morn
ing, a great deal of needless time
was taken up in discussing the prop
osition, from a political standpoint.
Mr. Albert startled tho entire
number of gentlemen present, by
branding the scheme as one likely to
secure the dissemination of republi
canliterature throughout thisstate,to
bear on democratic votes, but after
a long wrangle, tho meeting con
cluded to recommend the adoption
of General Tyner's proposition, and
to endeavor to raise the subscrip
tions. Tho scheme meets the ap
proval of the business men, gener
ally, and if pushed will likely work
great benefit to the state of Oregon.
Fell from a Load of Hay.
Yesterday Frank Stout, a promi
nent farmer living near Carlton,
Yamhill county, fell from a load of
baled hay while hauling it to mar
ket, receiving serious injuries
about the scalp, face and spino by
striking upon rockB. An ugly gash
crosses tho chin, part of tho nose is
cut off, and the scalp is split back
from each corner of the forehead to
the crown of the head,4tho skin drop
ping down over his face. Ho weighs
about 270 pounds, and had ne not
struck tho brake rope in his fall
would probably have been killed.
The wounds are said not to be neces
sarily fatal, but it is not known to
what extent tho spine is injured.
Equal to the Appeal's Man's Pig.
The Blandon Recorder man is try
ing to keep even with Guild of the
Silverton Appeal. Guild told of a
man who owned a cow that was
suckled by a pig. Now the Recorder
man says, that Doc Cox, near Den
mark, has a cow, whoso calf died
soon after birth, which contracted
an attachment for a pet lamb. The
lamb sucks, and tho cow caresses it
with all tho affection imaginable.
The Agricultural Board's Pamphlet.
State Printer Baker informed tho
writer this afternoon, that the tyi
on tho pamphlet being published by
the State Board of Agriculture
has all been set, nnd that the forms
will all bo oil tho press by tho last of
next week, and tho book ready for
tho binder. This will probably bo
tho most comprohsivo descriptive
work on Oregon over published. It
will slight no portion of tho state,
and will give full Information re
garding this great state.

Xo One to Blame Sow.
The Shasta Express this morning
consisted of ten cars, including three
Pullman sleepers, two first class, ono
emigrant and one smoking car, al
crowded with people going through.
A few got off to look around, and
one asked In a touo of great surprise:
"Why, is this the capital of Oregon?"
at tho same time looking at tho dry
flat around where the train stops
This gentleman was probably look
ing at the country, as he passed, and
perhaps visiting towns which a view
of commended to.him, but he went
on through Salem. The railroad
company can be blamed for this situ
ation no longer, though, and so the
trouble will have to go without
blaming anybody. For, of course, it
would not do to blame the people of
Salem that the depot is not located,
hereafter, in the city.
Charles Dickens' Readings.
Says the S. F. Morning Call of
Charles Dickens, tho reader who ap
pears hero next Wednesday night:
Mr. Dickens has a remarkably pleas
ing address and speaks moro with
the accent of an American than an
Englishman. As he concluded and
was in the act of leaving tho plat
form a perfect shower of bouquets
rained upon him from the front seats
and the galleries, until the floor was
literally covered with bunches of
flowers. His success was so phe
nomenal as to leave no reason to
doubt but that an equally largo au
dience will greet him on Wednesday
evening, when his subject will be
"Dr. Marigold" and Bob Swayer's
Party."
A Xew Indnstry.
Mr. Hash, who owns a thousand
goats, is moving his baud from tho
camp just above Shoshone on Little
Wood river, farther north, near the
foot hills. Ho shipped over 4,000
pounds of mohair (Cashmere goat
wool, last week, and Mr. John Harris
of Goose creek also has about 8,000
pounds of mohair, both shipments
going to New York. Tho profit of
raising goats is about twice as great
as that of sheep. Tho average clip
of a well bred Cashmere goat ranges
from three to five pounds, and form
erly mohair brought as high as 75
cents to $1 per pound. Wo believe it
now runs from 40 to 00 cents. Sho
shone Journal.
A Picture.
Tho father and mother of young
Wright, the boy that was murdered
near Yaquina last week, are di
vorced. At the funeral, or tho inter
vening time between tho murder
and the burial, not ono of the
children would speak to tho mother
although they spent several hours
in prayer for the forgiveness of the
assassin, forgetting entirely the dear
mother who had watched over
them in the cradle in the days of
their helplessness, and refusing to
ofTera word ot consolation to the
woman who gave them birth in her
hour of bereavement. Corvallls
Times.
.Not So Bad as Reported.
Tho injury to Fayetto Lane, who
was run over by the north bound
train at Roseburg on Tuesday night,
was not so bad as at first reported.
The train passed over and crushed
his left leg below tho knee, and this
leg was amputated. . Ho is unin
jured otherwise. He will brobably
be able to pull through, with no
other inconvenience than a wooden
leg.
