At IiROWKsvtLLK. Ea-Sher'.fl Rice
of Brownsvi'ie, has been in this city look
ing at the Willamette. It being reported
there that the water stood two feet deep
on First street he had a curiosity to tee
the tights. Mr. Rice came by way of the
Narrow Gauge and the Lebanon brnch.
and reported that regular connection would
now be made with the morning and after,
noon train at tlie junction. At iirowna
viKc part of the bridge, being the last half
built, had gone out. Ti e damage around
the city otherwise wa (mail.
Horse BACk Runa. On theCalapoola
bottoms, before the flood, resided a family
named Conner, Tlie water came up and
they were soon surrounded before realiz
ing the predicament they were in. Being
In a low place they were in danger of being
soaked, when Henry B. finrengcr and
Charles Power went to tneir rescue. Not
having a boat they swam horses out to the
nouse, taking one person back at a time,
and thus rescued not only Mr. and Mrs.
Conner and their two children; but. as
well, all their stock.
Waxr Fast. The Oregonlan.wlth full
telegraphic service, has been greatly miss
ed by our citizens. Appreciating this fact,
little Johnny Hoffman was sent out Thurs
day by some First Street men with a bun
dle of old issue under his arms, offering
them for sale. - Had not the scheme been
transparent Johnny would Mve had pea
nut money -Sor several weeks, and several
did wonder how an Oregonlan reached

Cougars Killed. B. F. Finn write
from Leaburg, January 23, that James
Wycoff and John Ilixon killed four large
cougars one day the week before, and
was a poor day too for cougars. Thev
think the one that scared John Brown to
bad, and caught his dog, was among the
number killed, ihe cougar had killed
two-year old steer for Wyeoff the day be
fore, so they made the raid and succeeded
I in getting four, Eugene uuard.

Washouts. Speaking about washouts
It would have been a grand project if the
Washington Street grade had only been
In fashion and taken a tumble: but on the
other hand Its removal with spade and
team will give employment lo a large
number oi men, ana work on tne tame
will be begun at the earliest possible day.
A Water Agate. Thursday - while

ALBANY,
A I.oo Sack NtKbicn.
Rosaburg, Wilbur and Drain, all In
Douglas Co., propose to build railroad to
the tea In the near fut.ire. It take wind
to get a railroad turted, but It takes a long
sack to build It. Pilot,
1 he ahove off era a good test for a mod.
ern sermon. There Is lots of blow and
bluster In this world that Is done simply
for effect. In short It U done for the pur
pose of obtaining good 1 and I sent) of
getting something under false pretenses,
which In law Is a crime. The booming
city that seeks to secure Immigration by
(hUq pretenses commits a much of a
crime as the man who borrow money by
making false representations. That sounds
fierce, hut it can he digested. Albany it
not a saint ; but It co.nc closer to having
told the truth In It statements to secure
Immigration than most any city In the
universe. The fact I the city ha to a
great extent adtertised Itself, It Incttlon
nd natural advantage", It railroad pros
pect and general transportation privilege
re so tnakrd, that they attract attention
of themselves. But what outside adver
tising the city ha done, It may be said has
been of a very tempered nature. The text
suggest that we should always use sub
stance Instead of wind.
Skipped. A mulatto, answering to the
name of Geo Smith, ha been working for
several month past at Jerry Horn's barber
shop blacking boot and cleaning clothing.
Friday evening he negotiated numerous
loans from his customer and acquaintances
In turns of from 50 cent to S J. With the
fund thus realised he proceeded to test hi
chances tn the vulgarly named gains stud
horse poker, in star was not in the as
cendant however, and the last of hi hor.
mwed shekel had gone from hi gate
about 3 o'clock Katurdar morning, when,
not having the courage to face his numer
ous creditor, he took a tie pa on the ralh
road for the north. Beware the coon,
fcugene Guard. ,
A Bright Doo The following I from
the I.exlngion Budget, and It tell about a
dog deserving 4 pension : "One morning
last week when B E Hathaway, of this
place, opened hi door he found a shep
herd do 1 waiting to be admitted. Tied ta
hi collar wa a note from Mr and Mr
Runelt.parenUof Mr Hathaway, who live
about four ml.es west of Iveslngton,taling
that they needed attendance and a physi.
clan. The intelligent animal bad been
started off at a o'clock In the morning and
faithfully performed hi errand. Mr and
Mr Kusaell are recovering.
A DPATCit. One of our worthy ci
tizen Inform u that a dcpa:ch ha just
been .ecelved from England.at this city, by
way of the Lebanon line and the Cascade
Wagon road that the Prince of Wale had
been acsastlnated by Parncll.that the King
of apaln recently grew one foot In a night,
that tbe Pope has decided to locate in the
United Mate and that an overflow of the
Thames river completely inundated Lon
don.drowntng four million people. In the
absence of any exciting event ;oucan
take thi for what you are witling to give.
A Good BaittOR. The manner in which
the Orrgon Pacific bridge at this city stood
the fierce onslaught of the raging water
and floating debri commend It splendid
construction to the worlJ. There wa no
bridge Itself hardly quivered, ita piers
surprise at the breakwater going. Hie
standing the test without a shake. There
considerable doubt whether anything
can take the place of rock for ricr. The
manner In which the concrete pier at
Balem twisted and quivered and snapped
doe not advertise them a the best pier,
The fiitt engine went over the Albany
bridge to-day at safely a along a rock bot
torn grade.
Divided. Judge Bean, of Eugene, I
taking under advisement, says the Regis
ter, case brought for the purpose of set
tling some difficult!.- in the United Breth
ren church. The church ha for some
time maintained a college at Philomath, in
Uenton county. Recently there wa a
split in the church on account ot a church
aw which says that a person belonging to
a secret society can net become a member
of that church, and now there are two fac
tion in the church and each one it trying
to enjoin the other from u'lng the ctiursh
property at Philomath.
Some Mask. Thejipproach to the Al
bany ferry on the north side of the river
comes out of the flood full of debris, with
the grade badly damaged. The Union
Pacific wharf, supposed to be entirely
washed out, wa only partly annihilated,
tlie lower part standing the strain. The
work of repairing it Is proceeding. The
factories along the river front show the
marks of high water, bat the damage
done was small. Some one suggests from
the dilapidated look of the old Sampson
warehouse that one more flood will settle it,
A Good Bkcinsikg. A Eugene man
begin an ad. like this: "Advertising Is
tho way foolish men spend their money ;
smart men spend theirs smoking, drinking
and playing poker. When smart men get
dollar they blow it in that wav or salt It
down; but the foolish man spends his hard
earned coin and keeps It in circulation;
that Is why he is a fool. Now just stop
and think if everybody would stop and not
spend a cent for three months, wouldn't
things be lively? You bet they would,"
A Disputed Question No two old
settlers seem to agree about the flood of
1S61. There Is a spilt on the date a wel
a on se.'eral minor details, such a snow
&c. Mr. I. I). Miller, of Millers, tells u
that at that time he was on hi wav from
California and reached here at the time of
the highest flood, that he kept a journal of
events, which shows that the first rise was
the highest on the ist dsy of December,
and the second on the 8th; but is confi
dent that there was no snow at the time,
which he says fell afterwards.
The B. Si 1,. A. At the regular yearly
meeting, to be held on the aist Inst., a
report of the busi.icss for eleven month
will be given. It will show a flattering
profit for the firtt year, and It should be
remembered that the profits increase each
year, rallies dertrtng to give proxies at
the annual election can secure them of the
secretary, Mr. Jay W. Blaln. k.The first
year of this association will show the great
wisaom aispiayeu in its organization.
Gitcpandgit, The Astorian ha thi
comment - on two Eastern Washington
towns, one thnt will apply to other towns
sometimes: "Spokane Falls buys wheat
in -Walla Walla, carries it to its mills
makes it into- flour, and tcllt the flour in
Walla Walla. That's the difference be
tween enterprise and sticklnthemudatlve
nest. Walla Waila has the natural ad
vantages, but hasn't the gitupandgiU"
A Wet Experience. Thursday at
ternoon Marshal Iloffmnn and Al Carey
were riding on Water street in a gondola.

cenes which nature and high water hav
recently so rict X v decorated, as well as at-
tiding to business, when in some man
ner, which Mr Carey can potray
graphic language, the Marshallii said to
have taken a bath diving headfirst or
tome other way Into the boiling deep.
The Sanderson Bridge. Mr Jo Nix
on, just from his home near the Sanderson
bridge.says It is damaged several thousand
dollars, the rock from the center pier be
ing gone and all of tbe breakwater but
about thirty feet.
OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14,
Tn Situation. Now that the flood!

It were, the situation all along the line can
be viewed. The result is that the damage
done It not nearly at great at many antlci

afloat, Oregon City suffered the mot,los
Ing a valuable mill and many thouiand
dollar worth of property j 8alem In losing
her fine bridge meets with a great calam
ity. Other elite lose little except nominal
amounts, and more on 1 ccojnt of a loss ot
business. Portland and East Portland to
gether lose lei than Salem' bridge di
rectly. Their wharf were somewhat dis
turbed, building next to the river In Port
land received some hwavy coating of mud
and a few good were damaged, and that
wa about all. The outlook generally I a
good one after so much darkness. Only
one life It reported lost, that of a line man
yesterday at Oregon City after the flood
had subsided. There are many Incident
of close call j but fortunately no other
latalille. 1'ernaps ihe greatest damage,
more than all others combined I that to
the Southern Pacific railroad, particularly
on the California line, where the blockade
continue. The heavy rain Increased the
blockade Instead ol raising It, causing In
numerable land slides that may take weeks
lu repair. Beginning south of Ashland
they are ol constant occurrence. North of
Roseburg the track I in condition tn thi
tide of Eugene.whlch will be repaired and
train will soon be running between Rote
burg and Portland, perhaps by Monday.
CoHVAiu Street R. R. Our neigh
bor at Corvalllt display good judgment in
making their street car line somewhat ex
tensive In the first place, and we predict
will provo a much more paying road on
that account. The Time says t "Be
lieving that a system of railways running
to alt section of the city and suburb
would prove a profitable investment, the
board of director decided to build the line
to both cepot. the entire length of Main
street south from Monroe; alto on Adams
street and west on College avenue, past
the college, and reaching the depot in
ob's Addition by the county read running
north from College avenue. The road
will alto run out Neventh treet and on the
county road to Job' Addition, running on
Centre street west tt the depot, continuing
on the county road from the point where
the road enter Job' Addition. It will
enter Belmont' Addition, running over
the principal avenue of thi fine properly
to the depot at Belmont junction. This
will make a svstem coverfntr feur mile.
The road will be built with otb. steel rail
and planked the entire 1 Ittance. Three
ear will be run."
Lrbaxom, The first paper to reach the
Devot bt office after the flood wa the
Lebanon Express, which came to band a
a home print, Here are some Item from
It : There was much cause f-r excitement
Monday, on account of the prevailing
flood and the number of argument which
took place. Because ot the continued rain
and wind storm Lebanon must need have
something to break the monotony, so two
of it voung menufetting Into a heated dis
cussion, went, a thev thought, outside of
the corporate limits to settle their "argu
ment." which resulted In a three round
contest, much shedding of blood and
broken boni for one of the participant.
Taken all together, Lebanon came out
with lesldamatre than any other lawn In
the valiey.whkh wa think apeak wet for
It. Moral : Buy property In Lebanon....
Rev W W Beck wa in town thi week.
He Is from Seattle.whcre be own consid
erable property, which i being sold very
fast. lie U a rtitJcr, . . .On Tuesday a pe
tition was circulated to have S O Wallace
appointed justice rf the peace to fill the
unexpired time of I) Andrew.
A Live Real Estate Item. Friday
through Rcy.J R Ktrpatrkk, Mr W
Beck,of Sealle so'd to 8 E Young and wife
15 acre and to Mist Sarah Alihoute 1
acre ot land adjoining that city, being In
the vicinity ot the property owned and
sold by Mr Young last year. The con
sideration were $13,000 and $7, 500.
Rev. Klrknatrick predict the land will
douhte in value In 90 da.ta. A good ex
ample of the manner In which property
lias Increased in value at Seattle I the
80 acre which Mr Young sold for
000, making $18,000 on it. On the 8th of
January the tame property was sold for
4,ooo.
1st A Hammock. On Tuesday Mr. Peter
McKlnnty, who run hi house near
Sprlnghlli alone, had been driven from hi
first floor to the second and had just gotten
In a hammock constructed of rope and
boards, when Mr. M II Kelley and
ton, fearing he might be washed out, ap
peered In a boat and e fleeted hi rcue.
Abou that time matter had begun to
look a little tiublou to Mr. McKinney.
The party were two hours rowing a mile
up stream to a neighbor nouse.
A Familiar Rino. The following from
the Junction Pilot has a familiar ring to It
and suggests that there are really a great
many people not deserving of pationage,
and at the tame time tome who do fall to
get It: "A lecture and elocutionist stopped
off here on Monday and billed the town
tor. a performance at the opera nouse, out
wing to the extreme bad weather or some
other cause he had no audience. He took
the 9:30 train for Eugene.
The Other Side. The Democrat
always gives both side ot a matter if it
can get them. Thursday it gave an ac
count of an accident In which Marshal
Hoffman wa made to take a bath in the
water at thi city. Mr Hoffman' verlon
I that Mr Carey, hi companion in the
boat ride, wa the one who fell In, Accord
Ing to it, Mr Carey had stepped on some
drift wood, when he slipped and fell in,
going In to lit topnot.
A New Mail Facility.- Arrangements
are being made so that mail can be sent
oh t.ie Lebanon branch direct to the junc
tion on the afternoon train and transferred
to point south on the Narrow Gauge,
which will be a great convenience, and
save a day in time. Under the present or
rangement it goes to Lebanon and returns
the next day.

Our contemporary, the Utntuf, ay
'one of the chief facts brought out by -the
forced political discussion of the tariff
ssues during the last campaign was the
one that our home market was the most
profitable, best and stiiesl market wc had
to depend upon. More especially I this
the case with bur axrlculturnl product tt
the foreign markets are being more and
more occupied by foreign countries,
vVlih all due deference to the HtraUl, we
are constrained to dUpute the proposition
that the 1 Iscttslon of the tariff last fall,
or at any other lime, ever brought out ,lie
fact that our home market f ir agilcul.
turai; product Is the most profitable, best
nd surest market we have to depend upon.
No discussion can possibly develop such a
fact so long as we raise more agricultural
product than I necessary to supply home
market. Now, thirty year ago we began
with a high protective tariff. Thi wa 10
furnish the agriculturist with a dome mar
ketforhl wheat, corn, flour, beef, pork,
etc. etc. I the home market for wheat
better than thc';forefgn? Suppose wheat
wa to plenty in atl foreign countrle a to
supply their market w ithout drawing up
on the supply of wheat In the United
State. What a deprcjlng effect It would
have upon the home market for wheat
The tame I true a o corn, flour, beef,
pork and other oroducta which ire shipped
from th United States to foreign markets.
If we should now attempt to depend upon
onr home market far wheat, corn, pork
and beef,' how very oon would the price
of the article fail from present ruling
price, ruinously low a they are. One
elementary lesson need yet to be learned
by all those who would make and unmake
market rate by mere statutory enactment.
That I the great law of supply nd de
mand. When a given commodity is scarce.
nd the demand for It I great, the Pike
of that commodity wiil be great, and con
versely, when a given commodity exist
in great abundance and the demand for It
Is small, the price of It will be small. Thi
law it inexorable a against the most
stringent law of the most powerful na
tion. It I corclnsive of the whole ques
tion of price. A sensible man will de-
pend upon the home market when it I
best, and upon the foreign market when
it is best. The foreign market for wheat,
com, flour.'bacon and beef, the chief pro
duct of the farm, ha been for the last
thirty year, better than the home market
and hence our farmer have sold the
product of their toll in that market. The
home market when fully understood will
be found to be as changeable as the winds.
It is a mean of deluding and hum-bugging
peop.e who never act outside of party
bias.
IMETAKT HINTS.
Eat slowly and masticate your food thor
ougbty. Mr Gladstone it is said, give thirty.
two lute to each piece of meat that he pott
into hi mieUih,
Do not wash down each morsel of fod with
swallow of water; drink what you waat at
the conclusion of the met I and not while it is
in prog res.
Remember that meat broth contain little or
no nutritive properties, they are simply mild
stimulant. With the addition of vegetable,
bread, or boiled rice, however, they become
valuable food.
Milk should not be drunk in copious draughts
but in ips, to that it will coagulate in small
lumps or flake and thus be more easily digest

Why, look you now how unworthy a

Gulldenstern lacked knowledge more
than Ha.Ttlet lacked advaneement.but there
were doubtless other even in that day
who could have sounded Hamlet from hi
lewett note to the top ot hi compass, and
have guided and controlled him. At til

. The Slattumiu unwittingly give it
party away In congress by saying that
that party is trying to get a quorum in or
der thal.it can proceed with public busi
ness, uet a quorum, indeed! How
they expect to get a quorum If they have
it not already? It it not necessary that! in J.ooo days; it will require 1,630 days work
the republican or any other party should
have a quorum in order that public bu&l
nest should be transacted. The business
of the house is not partisan within con
templatlon ot the constitution of the Unl
ted States. It is right , however, in saying
that the republicans want to increase their
trength in the house, and there Is but one
way to do it, and that is by turning demo
crats out, and putting republican in. That
the party intend to do this is clearly
proven by their obstinate effort to decide
contested election case before rules for
the house have been adopted. That party
it laying a sure foundation for a democrat
ic majority in the next congress.

Tommy Tonct w not a very bright
boy, and when hi teacher, at the cloe of
school one afternoon, told him he must
write a composition on the pum; lo-mor-1
row, he took her at her word. The next
morning, therefore. Instead of starting to
school at the usual hour, he mounted the
j bIr wooden box pump In the yard, and
with hi slate on hi knee began to write
the desired composition.
But Tommy'' father happening to pas
that way discovered him and asked him
whv be wa not off to school. And when
the boy replied that the te:her had told
him to write a composition on the pump,
Mr. Jone burst out in a hearty laugh,
much to Tommy' surprise.
An explanation followed, and tbe boV
jumped down from the pump and started
for school, convinced that he needn't sit
on a pump to write a composition on a
pump or about a pump.
