Knows Aovr Tiikm UmattlU
rounty r topic want Chlna pheasants
inlriKlnccJ In their section, so some one
wrote Jtulgo Wlm'.ley on tlie subject, who
answered that they ouM cost 111 to $
a pair, and itescrlbcil them In the follow
ing .peel Ik manner, Indicating that Judge
v nnl.ev frequent huntlnir expciiuiont
tu Albany have not been In vain. Even
our most expert Chinese pheasant men
will bo Interested In the folio win if : "The
bird Is hardy and of remarkable fecundity,
the female laying from twenty-two to
twenty-three eggs. In fact It la asserted
by the farmers of Linn county, that the
bird will breed twice In the vear. Thev
teed voraciously on Insects, grasshoppers,
larva?, as well as grain and succulent veue
tables, borne ol the farmers here regard
them as pesta, while others are of the
opinion that thev furnish compensation
fur their destructions In clearing the land
of noxious Inserts. Knowing how much
bothered your farmejs are with locusts
and grasshoppeis, I should think the In
tiouucnon 01 the iiinis would prove a
boon, It the climate It adapted to them.
i ne Mongolian pheasant tlcllghlt In a
well watered country covered with long1
grass. It t. not. a good bird for the
shooter, being a great runner. In fact 1
would lay the odds en the pheasant In a
race against an average settler. The
young birds are excellent for the table
having an appearance and flavor similar
to that of a well-ted juicy turkey. Their
meat Is close trained, and waxv. From
what I have observed of the habit of the
bird. I must In candor say. that I am of
the opinion that your climate la too dry
for them, and that only favored localities
along your water courses will you find
them do well. In this, however. I may
mistaken.: In a conversation that I
had with the Hon O N Dcnnr, our former
cansul to Teln T.ln, to whom Oregon Is
Indebted for the Introduction of this noble
bird, he expresses a ihnilar dotitit, though
believing no trouble mould bit inrt with
where water and grass are abundant."
Tiia New Fcio Mill. The l'reaa aaya:
Plans are now Winn prepared for the
erection of Scio'a new flouring mill. The
new struct u re ia to be MJ feet Ionic. 40
ft wide and 4 stories in height. Mr J
W Oaruber will have charge of the con
struction. Since the destruction of the
oll mill Mr lioins has visited a number
of the latest and moat Improved mills
thronirhout the state, and after mature
deliberation has let the contract tor the

re delivered by them to Mr (Joint In (U)

French lias has been appointed river
observer for Albany at a salary of $3 a
month, jus duliey will bo about as
follows: "Th observer makes a daily
reading of the height of the river, and
makes a record of such reading. When
liters is a rise sufficient to cause appre
hension oi danger, he will be called upon
uy telegraph to semi a telegram to Port

(he rise or fall in past 24 hours- The
same information will be had from F.u

ing the public information as to the
probable height to which the river will

Tiik Fixurr Climate. This morning J
D Smith received a letter from F C and
II R Shumway, the Eastern friends who
were visiting him here only a shirt time
since. It was dated at I -on Augeb-s, Dec
"5th, and the gentlemen complained of
me cold weather there at that time. On
Christmas eve the ice was two inches
thick in their washbowls, and it was the
coldest it had been for eight years. The
Messrs Shamway have stopped every
hundred miles or to to look at the coun
try tince they reached Victoria, It. C,
and this last letter received by Mr Smith
concludes : "Yours is the finest climate
we have yet found." Kosehurg Review.
A Hxricvs ArraAY. The year 1801
was cl Med by a very serious encounter
in a Tift street saloon, between K A
Mi ser ami Kd Davidson, resulting in
the Utter stabbing the former with a
jack knife in the abdomen, so seriously
as to cause an intestine to protrude,
(ioiog to another saloon Itovidson wss
followed by Milner and given a "thrash
ing" that will probably lay him up for
some time. Milner's wounds were
dressed by Drt Maston it Davis.
Tin Fiaa Rkcobd in Albany during
1811 was remarkable. The actual dam
age was only nominal. Since tho city
began the use of horset for Its engines, a
period of about alx months, not a single
alarm has been given. As a preventive
is better than a cure this it a pleasant
feature of the matter. There is no better
sign of prosperity than this. Firet at a
rule do not occur where everybody is
doing well.
A Corvallis Attractioj. E Msrple,
Eq., a prominent citizen of Corvallis, Is
in the clutches of the law on the charge of
assault and battery with intent to commit
rpe on Mrs Valandlngham, and the evi
dence is said to he strong sgalnst him.
Marple's defense Is that he was dlscnstlng
Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonlsm
with the prosecuting witness, when she
becsme angered and attacked him, and he
only acted In self defense. The case Is the
center of attraction there.
The Tiaciikr's Institute. The Ea-
gene (iusrd has the following In Its
account of the teacher's Institute held at
t hat c Ity : Lectu re, by Professor Elbert N
Condit, followed. The Professor took the
proverbial text, "Can a rush grow up
without mire?" President Condit always
has something to say worth hearing, and
tonight was no exception to the rule.
"High Education," a paper given by Supt
Geo F Russell, of Linn county, was

The Tt'tgram truthfully says:
At the farewell banquet to Governor Hill at
Albany last right, he reiterated ia speech
much of the suLsiance of his Elmlra speech in
regsrd to taxation and finances declsring
ejain in favor of nothing but merely negative
legislation the kj tal of the MtKinlty tariff
law and the Sherman silver law. The demo
crats in congress wilt very naturally observe
carefully and thoughtfully what Mr Hill has
to s-iy, yet it is dtuSitul If they wilt follow his
sdvice in this matter. They will want to sc
tamplish something more ihsn a mere negative
protest sgainst late repuUbaa legislatlcn.
The differences of opinion among democrats
ss to the wisest policy to lie pursued ia this
congress in regard to tarifT legislation are fa
more creditable to the party thaa tint abject
servile harmony which superabounds in the
republican party, waiting for Harrison and
Blaine to determine between themselves which
shall be the candidate of the party for presi
dent, A live, eneree'ic, aggressive, politics!
party ia to immense a country st the United
Ststcs must necessarily hsve differences of
opinion ss to patty policy. A psrty that de
pends upou two leaders to determke all mat
ters of party policy need havens differences
of Opinion, indeed, need have no opinions at
all.

Few other complaints aro so prevalent, or

Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral
C. O. Lepper, Drtietfst, Fort Wayne, In.!.,
writes: My little si-tter, four years of age,
was so 111 from bronchitis that we had almost
given up hope of her recovery. Our family
physician, a skilful man and of large expert
ence, pronounced it useless to give ber any
more medicine, saying he had done all It was
possible to do, and we most prepare for the
worst. As a last resort, we determined to
try AyeTs Cherry Pectoral, and I can truly
say, with most happy remits. After talcing
a lew doses she seemed to breathe easier,
and, within a week, was out of danger. We
continued giving the fectoral until satisfied
she was entirely well. This indisputable
evidence of the great merit of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral has given me unbounded confi
dence in the preparation, and I recommend
It to my customers, knowing It cannot disap
point them."
"Ayers Cherry Pectoral cured me of a bad
Cough and my partner of bTonehiUs. I know
of numerous cases In which this preparation
has proved very beneficial In families of
Young Children,
to that the medicine Is known among them
as 'tbe consoler of the afflicted.'" Jaime
Kufus Vldal, Ban Cristobel, San iJoroingo.
"A short time ajfo, I was taken with a
severe attack of bronchitis. The remedies
ordinarily used in such eases failed to give
me relief. Almost in despair of ever finding
anything to curs me, I bought a bottle of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and was helped
from the first dose. I bad not finished one
bottle before the disease left me, and my
throat and limps were as sound as ever."
