0nr Kesmlar Crawl.
It is very rare that a week pastes in which
r do not receiv e letters from Eastern Ore
gon complaining of the irregularity of the
arrival of our paper in that country, par
ticularly in Wasco, and it is a noteworthy
fact that a great majority of these complain
ants agree as to where the carelessness occurs.
We are sorry to aay it, but the fact is they
all point to the Dalles office as the place
where all their mail irregularities originate.
We do not like to accuse any one, particularly
a lady, of being incompetent or careless, bnt
this thing of having our papers miscarry con
tinually is beginning to touch our pocket.
Wasco county, particularly the southern part
of it, is settled principally by Linn county
people, and our subscription list would
largely increase in that locality if our papers
were not delayed on the way. As the post
master in this city will testify, cur mail for
'Portland and East of the Mountains' goes
to Portland every Friday, and, as a natural
consequence, all the v asco mail should go to
the Dalles on Saturday, and be ready to start
' away oa Monday. From this statement our
subscribers can readily ascertain the time at
which the Democrat should reach them, and
if it fails to corns to hand at the right time
they will know where to lay the blame.
These complaints am not alone from our
patrons, bnt come from th citien3 of Wasco
generally. Postal Agent Steel was made
acquainted with the facts and recommended
to the Postomee Department that when Mrs.
Wilson's term of office expired she be not
re-appointed, bnt a few -etks ago the tele
graph informed us that elie had again secured
the office. And now, if the lady will attend
strictly to business, it will be all right, but
if not, and there is as much eomplaint in the
fa to re as there has been in the past in relation
to her action in office, we will try to have
the matter again brought before the Depart
ment at Washington.

of Albany, for collection. The first payment
of one-half of the amount of each note was

Over from Oekoee.
Our fellow-townsman Johnny Schmeer ar
rived in this city last Monday, having come
across the mountains from Ochoco. He was
accompanied by Henry Gray, who lives near
Halsey. Knowing that they would find con
siderable snow in tha mountains they left
their hones at the Des Chutes and made the
remainder of the journey on foot; About
twelve miles this side of Camp Polk they
struck the snow line on the McKenzie road,
and did not find a clear road nntil they had
traveled about eighteen miles, the snow for
that distance averaging about five feet in
depth. Mr. S. informs us that times are
lively in the Crooked River and Ochoco
country on account of the presence of quite
a number of cattle buyers. He savs that the
mining excitement in the "soap-hole" country
doesn't amount to mnch this spring, but that
gravel and placer mining is going on at the
Doothit diggings. About fifteen or twenty
men are at work there and are making good
wages.
Robbery.
Last Sunday evening the honse of W. F.
Byars, fonr and a-half miles east of Harris-
burg, was entered by some unknown person
clothes, three white thirts and a Colt's white
handle derringer. The next day S. Grish&m
missed $2.50 and a couple of pairs of boots
from his home on Ben Holt's place. These
foot pads are getting too bo'd and daring to
suit the convenience of the public, and a
little wholtaome choking at a rope's end,
when eanght, might help to clear the country
of these indigent thieves, and relieve people
of the strict watch necessary to preserve
their property from spoliation. Standard.
The Nucleus says that Do ran Boggs haa
been arrested for the latter robbery, and was
to have been tried this week before Justice
Pearl, of Halsey, bnt we have not yet learned
tha result of the trial. Young Boggs was in
company with Chaa. Logan, driving cattle a
short distance from Harrisbnrg. We are
sorry to hear of this, and hope that the
young man is not guilty, as he is very re
spectably connected.

. A. E. Cohen, of this city, acted as umpire,
and H. M. Craae and Clif. Wass were the
scorers. As will be Been by tho score there
was soma remarkably good playing on both
sides, and some playing by certain individuals
in both clubs which is just as remarkablo for
its poor quality. Of course our boys have
several points to mention as the cause of their
defeat, and claim that as a club they played
the best game, catching nearly double the num
ber of fly balls over their opponents. LTpon the
very outset Capt Hawkins, of our club, was
badly hurt in one of his hands and had to
withdraw from the contest, and this probably
was one of the cbiof causes of Albany's defeat.
It makes no difference now where the fault
is ; the score is against Linns, and it will
take a third game to tell tho tale. The time
and place for tha third game is not yet settled,
but it will probably come off in about two
weeks. By-the-way our boys think they
were not treated altogether right at Engene,
but even if they were not, the sooner they
allow the matter to blow over, the better it
will be. We are fully convinced that they
have just grounds for complaint in several
instances, bnt because hoodlums (who are
hardly responsible for their actions on account
of their early raising) acted so very nngentle
manly towards them, they shonld not, and do
not, seek to fasten the disgrace of abused
hospitality npon the members of the Univer
sity Club, or the city of Eugene, as has been
intimated by the Register. We have con
versed with nearly all the first nine and quite
a number of the Club besides, and they
authorize us to say that the article in the
Register does not reflect the sentiment of their
Club, and they do not wish to be held re
sponsible for it It was written the day after
the contest when every one was warmed np
on the subject, and is not exactly a true rep.
rescntation of the feeling now existing in our
city. Besides, the editor of the Democrat
was present on tnat occasion ana saw no
cause for these strictures on the part of the
Register. While some unusually impolite
manifestations were made by irresponsible
parties present, there was a noticeable dis
approval by the better class of Eugane citi
zens, and their fair city shonld not be de
famed because of these unavoidable blunders.

Editor Democrat :
Permit me through your columns to call
the attention of our City Council and the tax
payers of this city to the manner in which
the cross-walks in this eity have been man
aged. The expense of said crosswalks and
the filling np has been paid out of the general
fnnd; and this year they will cost nearly
$2,000. This is all wrong, and should at
once be remedied, and the correct principle
applied, which is that the property adjacent
to said cross-walks be at the expense of con
structing and filling up the squares. Or, in
other words, one quarter of each block ad
joining the squares bear the expense of said
squares. This is in keeping with our charter.
and the City Council has the same power to
do this that they have to compel the property
holders to make sidc-walka and gravel before
their property. No payment for cross-walks
nd filUn8 out of the general fund is legal,
and in the future it will be the duty of the
tax payers to eontest this point, provided the
Council does not legislate according to the
charter. TAXPAYER.
Linn's Steamer.
t
As most of onr citizens know this fire
engine was sent down to Portland a week or
so ago to have it repaired. It returned last
Tuesday night, and the work done on st seems
to have been of the vary best. The upper
flues, which were originally of gas-pipe, h.ir
been replaced by new ones manufacturer
! from copper, and they will probably last as
long as the engine. A great many of the old
fines bad rusted until they altogether failed
to do their duty, and these repairs bad to be
made or the engine laid up. The City Council
chose the former line of action, and although
it will cost a nice little sum of money, we
consider that under the circumstances it will
be well spent. Last Wednesday tha boys
had the engine out on trial, and it worked
very nicely. Ten pounds of steam was raised
in about eight minutes, and when the gauge
showed 90 Bs, the engine was throwing about
153 feet of olid water np hill through five
sections of hose. If the engine is properly
cared for it will last for years, and as it is
now city property the authorities should see
to it that it receives no bad usage.

R W. Tompkins, County Treasurer of Boise
county, Idaho, called ou us during tho week.
He was many years ago a resident of Linn,
but for a decade past has made hi home in

to have prospered and flourished. He report
the mining prospect of tho Territory as
excellent for this season, a well as the
agricultural prospects for the current year.
He seems much surprised at the remarkable
