So much ha been said about the tra ditional digging, or real ones, we knew not which, that we give th prevsi ing legend or story. Years ago when ox teams took the place of the steam horse in the "westward ho" journeys of our ancestors, a band of immigrants were winding their way through the Blue Mountains, about two hundred miles east of Prineville, when a child belonging to one of the number sickened and died. In the dig ging of a grave for it gold was found in snob quantities that one of the men gather ed some of it together and bamme red it around one of his wagon spoke. After placing a board at the bead of the grave with the nam of the child on it. the party being nearly out of food, if not lost, hast ened on to get out of the mountains, Tbsy afterwards ascertained that the gold was genuine, of the best quality, and there are several living to day wbo saw th battered piece. Another version of the storv ia that the gold was found in a stream by a grave ; otherwise the story is the same. Repeated efforts since then have been made to find this golden Eden, but with out avail, although no stone have been left unturned t bunt o ut the grave with two juniper trees near it. Recently Mr. John Davis, of this county, on having the matter described to him, remembered to have seen a grave in the region of the apposed diggings. having the two juniper trees, with a beard containing the identi cal name of the dead child, while driving cattle there a few years ago. So well sat isfied is he that he can go to the place that an expedition of several gentlemen, we are informed, will soon start to find this wonderful region of the precious metal. Besides Mr Davis we have heard mentioned as possible members of tbs party, Messrs David Proman and A. S. Looney, of this city. It is to be hoped they msy succeed in the enterprise. Tassel on the ). T. BurarU. Last Saturday tuanel n am isr two on the Oregon Pacific was discovered to be on fire. All of the wood work was com pletely ruined.Tbe damage to the same will amsunt to fG.OJO or $7,001. The fire was, it is claimed, the work ofsn incendiary, ss to who did it, though, there is uot yet any definite cine. Numerous threats, it is n?w stated, have been mads to burn at la ist some one of the tnnnels. It is report oi that in this city such a threat was mads by a man who had not settled in full with the road several weeks ago. The aflsir will pot off the running of irs.ns regulars ly for several weeks and is to be greatly regretted. Salmon Fishing The fishermen on the Columbia will receive only about 60 cents a aslrren this year. The average catch is said to be about 15)0 fish, rarely above 2500, Eacb man has to furnish bis own net, which costs about 500, and a boet aud give one third of the catch to an assistant. Salmon fishing is not a fat thing by any means; but there are plenty to undertake it, last year a boot 3500 boat. It is claimed that dearly 590 lose their lives every year of whom very few ever receive newspaper BaSde. a Frails. We are informed by orchard! ts and M ........ tanners mat ine iruit crop promiae a large yield, and the finest quality that we have had for many years. This, taken in connection with the fact that the fruit crop throughout the States has been very ex tensively and materially injured induces the belief that dried fruits will command remunmerative prices this year. It is a matter worthy the attention and consider ation of oar frait growers, and we hope te see Oregon receive a greater income from her fruits than ever before, and we believe she will. A MMnlgbt Blaze. On last Tuesday morning at about 12:30 the western part of the city was lighted op by the burning of the house of Enoch Boyle. A fire alarm brought the depart ment out, but the building was too far gone for any assistance to be rendered when the apparatus reached the scene Nearly all of the furniture was rescued as well as the entire family. The alleged course of the fire was a defective flue. In surance on bouse and furniture, $800. The amount ef the loss has not been adjusted Salt We Celebrate (he 4th. This question is baing brought up, so ws present it to the people of Albany to consider, It is expected that the Opera House will be fiuUned by that time, a fact which would add much to the argu ment for a celebration as it might be formally dedi cated at the same time, As only two months intervene if anything is to be done it Is well to get an early start. To Lisa Co. Threshers. I Every thresher in Linn county is re quested to meet at the store of A B Mc Ilwaii on Saturday, May 16, 1885. By request of several threshers, rants la the Wrong Wagon. Several days ago a nobby pair or pants were, by mistake, left in tne wagon of Mc Knight Brothers. The owner is requested to call on them for the same. I dream ed a few nights ago that I paired to the Post office as usual to get my mail. Just before arriving at the Poet office door I fell in company with a well known ti reman of the city, who, as I n ear ed him, seemed to be peering with all the powers of his keen vision at the Poatoffioe. I looked In the direction of the Poatoffioe when I discovered smoke pouring out of the doors and wlndowe, and at the very Instant of my discovery my fireman friend shouted in excited and stentorian tones "tire !" and ran at once and rang the fire- bell. The fire signal was for the district In which the Postoffice Is situated, In a few seconds a large crowd had collected about the Poatoffioe, the tire companies were all promptly on hand, when the provoking discovery waa made ths the smoke came from seventeen hoodlums who were smoking cigarettes, cigars and eweet-aostited pipes in the Postoffice while vailing for the mall. Three ladiea ware carried out almost suffocated, while the others retired with their handkerchief oyer their nose and their eyee full of tears, Ureal indigustlo prevailed among decent people, an indiguaiiou meeting was at cuoe called when ape-icue ware msde denouncing the conduct of the breaker of the law of polite conduct, and a committee appointed to wail upon the ottondera aud notify them that if they did not dit in th to course ol conduct, very severe measures would b roaorUHl to to abate it. I awoke before the committee reported. Dhkaukil With or 'rrepeadeMl.

Wednesday forenoon the spotted team of Dr J L Hill, while standing in front of Foshay & Mason's became frightened, and ran away, taking an easterly course.

On Tuesday this valuable aud an iqaely handsome mare was sold by her owner, Mr 0 P Adams, of Millers, in tins couoty.to Mr M D Heed, of Baa Kraociaon, for th handsome sum of tl50t. While we rejoice to see Mr. Adams obtain such a barge sum fr th "Oregou Beauty," it is a matter of regret to see her leave this State, whet she has been the ad tin red of the admired.

Four teams of Texas immigrants were in th city yesterday on their way from Wash ington Territory to Southern Oregon. Among the passengers was a genuine Texas darkey, whoa foot apparel had worn oat.

As s final resort Jackson, the barber, was hunted up.
