Last week a meteor, or what is sup
poted to be a meteor, was found on the
West Side two or three miles from Uie
gon City The daily papers have been
using a considerable amount of stuff
about the celestial visitor and something
new is discovered about it almost every
day. When first found it weighed, ac
cording tq newspaper reports, in the
neighborhood of eight tons. A few days
later it weighed, according to reports to
the same paper, apout 20 tons and had
grown from three feet in height to about
ten feet and had increased proportion
ately in dimension. Later,, the same
versatile reporter sent a story to his pa
per that the meteor bad been fenced in
to hide it from view of profane eyes and
that the owner was guarding it night and
dav to keen it from being stolen. We
haven't seen the meteor, nor Haven t
seen any one who has seen it, out we
are of the opinion that if it weighed as
much as the reporter stated that it is
Btill there and is in no danger of being
stolen.
