"Washburn, cashier of the Farmers and Merchants' tank, of Junction City, who stated that Harvey was well known, hav ing a good reputation, having been in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company a number of years, and that he (Wash burn) would be personally responsible for the amount of the required bond. Harvey tells a straight story in his own behalf, and yet says nothing that would throw any suspicion on his associates. A brakeman by the name of Patterson, on the same train, is reported to havo deserted his train last "Wednesday at Corn stock, when the officers -were here inves tigating the case, and no trace of him has s yet been reported. He is supposed to be aiding in the woods there yet. TRAIA HANDS ACCUSED. They Prny That They Assaulted Win nie Thorn and Allcsre Blackmail.

They I did not assault her in any respect, and believe it a case of blackmail, or a story invented by the girl to explain her strange actions.

Questions are to be submitted to the applicants by the county superin tendents, and not by the county bonjVi of examiners. Each superintendent will de termine the place of holding the examlna tor in his respective county. 1 would suggest, however, that the place most convenient for the greatest number of applicants be selected.

"Place the applicant's preliminary pa pers in an envelope, seal it, place the name o the county, only, on it, and send with the manuscripts, unmarked, to this office, C. O. D. It would be well to keep a memorandum of the papers sent and carefully compare said memorandum with the receipt; and, if they do not agree, notify this office at once. "The law requires that I shall deposit the fall amount of fees for state papers Tvith the state treasurer; hence the full amount musfr be remitted to this office.

The reduction of the valuation of Multnomah county prop erty, news of which was received yester day, caused no little discussion here. The opinion seems general that every county in the state, Multnomah itself excepted, of course, will suffer by it, and that next year other assessors will follow the ex ample of Assessor Greenleaf and lower the valuations of their counties to such greater extent that in the payment of state taxes Multnomah will lose just as much as it gained this year. Marion county Is not so lucky as Mult nomah. Although Its valuation' was re duced over $134,000, it will have to pay $30 more than last year. In 1898 us propartion -was $4i,9SS 22, while this year it will be 549.91517. The state, county city od district taxes will. In all. In this count', be In the neighborhood of 391S mills.

CHANGES FOR THE CAPITOIi. Portland Architect Hns Contract to Prepare Plans and Specifications. SALEM, 'Or., Jan. 12. The board of capltol commissioners, consisting of Gov ernor Geer, Secretary of State Dunbar and State Treasurer Moore, has entered Into a contract with Delos D. Neer, an architect, of Portland, to prepare plans and specifications for the remodeling of rep resentative hall as provided for by an act of the recent legislature. The Intention of the board Is to have a floor constructed in the hall, on the level of the third floor, taking the place of the gallery. The new room thus made is to be occupied by the library, the present quarters of which are inadequate, and the floor of which is overweighted. In turn, the hall now used for the library Is to be dlveded Into of fices for the supreme court Justices and the attorney-general, and for legislative committee-rooms, improvements which are greatly needed. If the plans and specifi cations prepared shall come within the appropriation, which is only 11,834, the commissioners will proceed with the work; if not, they will report the matter to the next legislature, and let that body take action.

The Portland democratic factions held a sort of love feast on Jackson's day, but had to bring in a fake announcement of a big Boer victory to spur up the enthusiasm to a point appropriate to the occasion. Oregon Notes. Baker City has four cigar factories, employing 12 hands. The "dearth of midnight marauding and pillage in Eugene is gratifying," remarks tho Register. J. H. Beckley has received eight blood hounds at Eugene, to be taken to his stock ranch near Lorane. Oanvasback ducks are reported plentiful on the head of Isthmus slough, Coos county, and in good condition. The Noonday Mining Company, of Bo hemia, has just disbursed $S00O in cash at Cottage Grove to its employes. At Marshfield, on the 8th Inst, a 5-mlll school tax was unanimously voted. It insures a nine months' school. A debate between the universities of Oregon and California is said by the Eu gene Guard to be among the probabili ties. Ex-County Judge Campbell, of Baker, left bis property to his wife and daugh ter. The estate is $4000, with some bills to meet A boy in a Woodburn school was given corporal punishment for cutting a loaded Krag-Jorgensen shell until the cap ex ploded.

During 1899, from Reedvllle, there were shipped 69 carloads of wheat, 52 of hay, 16 of oats, 7 of hops, 2 of potatoes and 305 of wood. The Roseburg postoffice location is de clared by the Kevlew to be satisfactory, and the close proximity of an ail-night saloon is said to afford it Immunity from robbery. The Albany Democrat denies the report of a shipment of very heavy hogs from that town recently, saying they averaged only 300 pounds, and the heaviest one weighed 640. A Salem editor lost his umbrella, and is so gratified at its return that he prints the restorer's name in capital letters on the editorial page, with a demand that he bo canonized and given a seat among the immortals.

Presidents Wheeler, of the university of California, and Jordan, of Stanford uni versity, will be present. Mice are reported by the North Yamhill Becord to be destroying growing wheat in its neighborhood to an alarming extent. Farmers assert that while doing their fall plowing the number of mice they would plow up in one day would some times reach the thousands. A Portland democrat, writing to the Pen dleton East Oregonianan account of the club recently formed in Portland "to work together towards solidifying the party for the coming campaign," includes the fol lowing In a list of "prominent democrats" present: Seneca Smith.

As the property is valued at $7000 only, the hegira will have but little help. - FOUND CINNABAR VEIN GOOD LUCK OF PROSPECTOR IN YAMHLLL COUNTY. Believed to Be the Same That "Wan Discovered by General Palmer Thirty Years Abo. DAYTON, Or., Jan. 12. Harry Simmons, the mining expert from Seattle, who has been prospecting In the Coast range in Yamhill county, returned to this place Thursday, bringing with him some fine specimens of cinnabar. He says this came from near the vein that was discov ered some 30 years ago by General Palmer and Lampson, who lost their bearings and were unable to find It again. Pros pectors have been searching for this ever since. A few years ago Mr. McKinley, who lives in the mountains about four miles from this place, was attracted by" the strange-looking rock. He did considerable work there-, covering his tracks and hop ing to continue investigation at some fu ture time. Mr. Simmons kept up his search until he found this place. Mr. McKinley at one time agreed to show Mr. Simmons the place for $1000, and upon taking him. near the place, told him to dig here and there and he would find It. This did not satisfy Mr. Simmons. When he sought for it himself he "finally stumbled on it. Mr. McKinley, it is said, had an offer of $10,000 from a firm In Southern Oregon for the mine If he would keep It secure till they could get here, but it is now prob ably too late. A lawsuit is expected, as McKinley claims his legal right, although he never filed on the claim. ORES OF EASTERN OREGON. Cyanide Process Expected to Aid Greatly in Profitable Reduction. Baker City Republican. The cyanide process and its adaptabil ity to the ores of Eastern Oregon are bound to be a pertinent subject of Inquiry as development continues and obstacles arise to the economical reduction of the large bodies of low-grade ores. In other localities similar to this, the cyanide process has gradually kept gain ing more and more a substantial "foothold until, as in South Africa, it has over shadowed all others. It Is not easily un derstood, and requires skillful manipula tion to overcome local difficulties, which always arise In each separate locality. Here, coal transportation and proper fluxes preclude at present the erection of smelters, at points most needed. Jealousy and other motives prevent a concerted movement to erect and maintain them at any common point. The cyanide process presents none of the objections that the smelters have, and It is more than probable that we will witness its advent more generally In the future than we have hitherto. The ores of Cripple Creek are far more rebellious than those of Eastern Oregon, and there Is no doubt that the process has done won ders for that camp, and careful experiment and study may help us out here.

About $2000 More to Be Expended In River Improvement nt CorvnlliM. CORVALLIS, Or., Jan. 12. Captain Langfltt, engineer in charge, has deter mined to build an additional 400 or 500 feet of revetment along the bank of the Willamette opposite Corvallis. He ar rived yesterday, and In the afternoon mado an inspection of the work and of the menaces to the channel mentioned In yesterday's Oregonian. Last night he was visited on board the Mathloma by Mayor Crawford and a delegation from tho Corvallis city council and business men. Captain Langfltt told his visitors that he had foreseen the need of further work, and that as much of the appro priation as could be spared would be ap plied on the revetment In question. He had already spent between $5000 and $6000, he said, and thought an additional $2000 could be made available for the purpose. The latter sum would possibly be suffi cient to build an additional 400 or 500 feet of revetment at the north end of the present work. More work should be done, Captain Langfltt thought, but further funds could not be spared. The work done by Captain Galbraith and his men In the past few weeks is said by experts to be of a superior character. Little Palouse Wheat Sold. COLFAX, Wash., Jan. 12. B. F. Man chester, one of the heavy farmers of the Palouse country, this afternoon sold 11, 700 bushels of wheat to Charles DeFrance for 38 cents a bushel In the warehouse at Mockenema. This Is the first sale of any considerable quantity of grain re ported in this county since the first of the year, although reports from all points of the county show that at least l0 per cent of last season's crop is still in the hands of the grower. S. Hilliard, manager of the TJniontown bank, while passing through Colfax, stat ed that of the wheat crop of "Upper Union flat, including the region in the neigh borhood of TJniontown, Colton and John son, not to excee'd 25 per cent had as yet been sold, and that there are like con ditions in all other neighborhoods of the county.

The Canadian gov ernment's expedition sent to the relief of the Moffatt Edmonton-trail party has re turned to Dawson, after an absence of four months, with the report that In all probability the three men comprising the party sought for have perished. The un fortunates were A. F. Moffatt, of Pem broke, Canada; Phil Belloue, of Duluth, and a Callfornian named Holmes, who had lived at Fresno. It was generally believed on tho Yukon last July that the three men had met their death on the trail, and, while Corporal Sklrving, the leader of the rescue party, failed -to obtain definite proof of their death, he nevertheless made a thorough search of the trail for 600 or 800 miles, finding no trace of the missing men. The rescuers traveled nearly 2000 miles. It has now been nearly 18 months since Moffatt and his followers left Edmonton for the Klon dike gold fields, over the route which proved so beset with horrors for those who took It hoping to find it a quick way of reaching the Yukon.

Mayor-elect Howser gave his friends a banquet at his residence on the East Side on Wednesday evening in honor of his election to the highest office In the gift of the city. The house was filled to overflowing. The band boys with their horns and big bass drum were there, and the violin, the mandolin, tho banjo sjjd the mouthorgan, all did their duty to the occasion. There were sedate judges, cun ning lawyers, long-faced preachers, heart less doctors, city councllmen, enterprising merchants, democrats, republicans and populists, and that prying, inquisitive meddlesome newspaper correspondent. Some were as full as lords of enthusiasm on sweet cider, coffee and cake, handed around by tho genial host and hostess and their assistants. Transfers From "Vancouver. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 12.

Portland Despatch. The St. Helens Mist and Heppner Ga zette, so far as we have noticed, are the only two republican papers which have indicated that they are for the re-election of Senator McBride. The latter says that Senator McBrlde will not be deserted by those who havo Oregon's best Interests at heart. It is altogether a question as to what Oregon's best Interests may be. The pres ent federal office-holding brigade, no doubt, think their "Interests'" require his Te-election. Republican Delegates "From Medford. MEDFORD, Or., Jan. 12.
