Lost ik the Mountains. A young ,
man named Hewett got lost in the
mountains recently and had a narrow
escape from death. He and another
young man were gathering stray cattle
for Mr Isom, of Albany, who has n place I
up the Santiam near Dutch George's-
Monday, Dec. 19th, Mr Hewett went out
to look for cattle, hut got lost in the
middle of the day and circled around to
the same spot two or three limes. He
started out again and followed down the
nret ravine he came to, and finally found
a stream. He started up the stream, and
after going about four miles. just at dusk,
he saw a cabin on the other side o the
stream. He waded over and found the
cabin occupied by ZT Bryant and Mr
Crandall, of Lebanon, who took in the
unfortunate man and cared for him. Mr
Hewett was almost exhausted, was
chilled through, and had he missed the
cabin would certainly have perished in
the snow. He had wandered from the
south fork to the north fork of the San
tiam Advance.

Too High Taxes. Lane county peo
ple are greanv agitated over a rrlii lax.
and the grange particularly wants it lower
ed to 30 mills. The court though declares
5 mills to be necessary and will let it
stand. One of the speakers before the
court In favor of a lower tax was Rev I D
Driver. The Guard says he made quite a
speech. He said that the court house
was worse than a barn, while the jail was
ine nnest Duttdlng in the county. Je
claimed that a jail should be something of
a horror to terrify criminals. He said
that a man with brains after seeing the
handsome jail and poor court house, with
a tax of 35 mills, wouU not Invest here.
He said that everything was low, and the
people were unable to pay such a tax
Therefore he was In favor of a 30 mill lax.
Good roa Ford. It most be said to

this looting the treasury, and telle every
body so. Todav the ninety-eleventh in-
Elicant for a clerkship called on him. and

Lost in thr Snow. The following
from the Corvallls Times reads peculiarly
from a valley paper: Mr J sines Denmsn,
a bricklayer of this city, mt with an ex
perience in the late snow storm that he
will rot speedily forget. He had been
building some Sues at the farm of Mr
Wants Nash seven milts distant from
Nashville, ard started about 10 o'clock one
morning from the latter place on his way
to his home In Corvallis. He was ladell
with tools, the snow wai three fsct deep,
ann Ids progress was very slow. The
middle of the afternoon found him trudg
Ing along, about exhausted and apparent
ly no nearer Sis destination. It soon
dawned upon him however, that he had
lost his way, and In order that better pro
gress might be made he dropped his tools.
He continued his weary tramp until
nightfall, when from aheer exhaustion he
gave up the search, and crawling under
some vine maple boughs that afforded
slight shelter, made himself as comforts
ble as his desperate circumstances would
perm't. Dawn the next morning found
him VIS, benumbed and hungry, but he
pushed on, and finally reached Nashville
tn time to catch the train for Corvallls.
Mr Denman, who, on thia occasion was
without food 48 hours, haa recovered
fully from the effects of his night In the
snow.
An Operation Performed Readers
of the Times ate familiar with the cir
cumstances of a frightful accident last
summer, caused by an O. P. special run
ning Into a hand car on which were eleven
persons. In this accident Mr Late Man
ning, well known in this citv, sunered a
fracture of one leg below the knee, from
the effects of which he has been a lame
man ever since, the fractured bones hav
ing persistently refused to knit togetl.er
A recent letter to Mr Virgil Watters, our
efficient county recorder, from l)r Hush
nell, formerly of Newport, but now of
an Francisco, states that on the 16th of
December an operation was performed on
Mr Manning that promises to affect a
permanent cure. An incision was rr.ade
along the fractured bones, and they were
wired together in such a manner as will
compel them to knit. Corvallls Times.

placed in a worse condition than Albany,
according to the Courier: When the
present townsite was laid out. Bourne
the brainy projector, reserved a 100-foot
trip ail around it aa a sort of wall which
prevented the laying out of additions
Thia "dead line" haa remained private
property to this time, except where it
has been pierced by streets here and
there, and it has now of course become
valuable, bat the city mast have outlets
across tt aa extensions oi certain streets
Here is where the source of future vexa
tion lies, me residents ot the various
additions beyond this "deed line" are
obliged to go around Robin Hood's barn
or John Hood's orchard or trespass on
this private property this legacy of the
long-headed Bourne wbo unfortunately
haa not yet departed for that bourne
from whence no traveler returns. It will
require wise counsel and conservative
council men to manage thia "dead line"
in the interest of the city and at the)
same time steer clear of "expensive law
suite.
Sbxuro Liquor to Ixdiaxs. Deputy
V S Marshal Sinnott and YVLWatkios
were in the city today 00 their way to
Portland with three men wbo had been
held by E G Irvine, of Newport, on ex
amination, to await the action of Judge
Deady'e court- Hoxie Bimmonde is a
quarter breed living near Elk City. He
would not be taken for an Indian by
hardly any one. Recently be bought
five pints ot whisky at Huoawkers saloon
at Vaqaina City, claiming be owned a
ranch near Elk City, and that be was not
an Indian. He took the liquor to the
Siletx where a whole crowd of backs got
gloriously drank Hansaker was ar
rested for sel'-in liquor to an Indiab.and
Simmonds for giving liquor to Indians
and for obtaining liquor under taJee pre
ten see. McDougall is an old resident of
Elk City, and is well oft. He was ar
rested for giving liquor to an Indiao
named Harris. It is said the Indians
themselves resort to these tricks in order
to get tne fees in connection with the
proceedings.a very contemptible mode of
filling ones pocket book.
Ma. Hay's Cask. A Salem paper says:
The state board of railroad commissioners
is in receipt of a it iter from Jerry Hay, of
Hanlsburg, thanking the members for
thelr Sorts to brinsr about a settlement of
rhls claims against the Southern Pacific
for damages on account of Injuries sus
talned by his son Frank, who was run
over at Harrisbure. County Commis
sioner Anderson, of this county, has tn
formed the board that Mr Koehier's state
ment to the effect that tbe Southern Pacific
had satisfactorily arranged cattle guards
and fences on his place, was not wholly
true, and asked tbe board not to dismiss
the complaint until the matter is adjusted.
Old but Fresh. The Woodburn In
dependent tells the following: R C
Houghmsn.who lives near Mt Angel, has.
seemingly, struck It rich. New Year's
day he killed a turkey nd In Ita craw
tound a nugget of pure gold worth at
least one dollar. In the craw of two
geese he got several other aad smaller
pieces. In hunting around over the place
he picked up small pieces of gold to the I
extent of at least $10 Most o this came
from the hillside, but one cr two piece t
wash" gold. Lemuel Walker has gone
out to prospect the place and see what
there 1 there. He states that the gold
shown very much resembles that found
on Salmon rlyer. This I not a "fake"
atory, but a matter of fact.
The New Chemical Engine for Res
cue Hook V Ladder Co. has arrived and I
stored In the Fl'nn Block. It is reported
there will be a hitch in the council over
extending the limit ot membcrsntp to 75.
Unles done the company, the Democrat
Is Informed, will keep the engine housed.
The members claim they are with thl
engine a well aa the truck to manage
entitled to a many member as the other
companies, and will need a larger mem
bership to Insure enough men to draw
both to the fire.
Ore Cause of Poop. Roads. We wan'.
better roads and no doubt better laws ;
but we also need to have the lawn we
already have respected. If they were
and residents of this as well as other
counties did their duty, we would have
a big improvemert over our present
roads. A sample of the way some of the
work is done came before the present
County Court. In one district the list
showed 103 days work due tbe district.
Tbe report of the supervisor shows that
only 4 days work were done in the entire
district, making a delinquency of 90 days.
Road supervisors are not aware that
they are liable to a fine of $50 for not do
ing tbe work called for, yet such is the
law.
Tub New Enoike. The new chemica
engine of Resue H & L Co, the Mahon
was tented this altenoon under supervi
sion of Mr Conger, of Portland, in the
presence 01 a large crowd, a sbed pre
viously prepared Deing set on nre lor the
occasion, xtie engine worked well ex

Quickly operated such an engine is a fine
thing ror a city, where quick work counts.

we want them. They are great men in
their way, a very fuuny way though. These
men make people pick their teeth with crow
bar, talk to Indian cigar men, get fright

The author of tbe famous force bill will

As the party has a large majority, the nom
ination ia equivalent to an election. In

for a choice and be received 147, which
show that he was the favorite with little
vigorous opposition. His opponents were
such men a ex Governor ohn D Long and
ex Congressman .William W Crapo, both
abler and broader minded men than he.
but neither had the whip over the members
that Lodge held.
Henry Cabot Lodge is a brilliant man in
certain respects. Hi rise baa been rapid.
Hi bold on hi party is largely due to his
tremendous energy . boldness and partisan
ship. Never did a more devoted republican
occupy a seat in the lower aotue of congress.
It was in tbe natural order of event;that he
should be senator. He baa been the practi
cal muu,a?ur of the republican party in
Massachusetts for the last eight years. He
i an excellent debater, a hard fighter, and
a scholar and author of tome repot. But
for s thia bis influence haa been pernicious.
and Massachuitett has not done itself
prjud by electing him to the senate. He
may be on a par with su h men a Chandler.
Aldrirb and Hiscock, but his influence will
not extend beyond his own party -
When Lodge introduced and fiercely
supported the infamous force bill, he
showed a lack of broad statesmanship, a
sectional spirit, and an egotistical aetfish
ness that merited tbe disapprobation of tbe
entire country, and received it, except
among the republican hero worshippers of
hi own state. He is. as indicated before,
an ideal republican, and therefore in that
party a great man. Why? Because narrow
partisanship characterise its policy, and
sectional teg'slation is its joy It thinks of
the few. not the many. If the ex-Governor
John D Long had been nominated, tbe
seat once occupied by Charles Sumner,
after many years of comparative eclipse
while occupied by Dawes, would have
again been held by a man of whom Iris
party could be proud, and whom democrat
a well as republicans would respect. As
it is, Henry Cabot Lodge wiil be a weak
ling in the senate- How can tne author of
the force bill expect favor from such men
as Gorman, Faulkner and Mills?. TW-

Washington, Jan 2, 1683.
Speaker Crisp's visit to New York for
the purpose of conferring with president
elect Cleveland, which was first authori
ttvely announced in this correspondence,
was a success from every point of view, and
while the speaker will not, of coarse, talk
about what Mr Cleveland said to him, his
face indicates to a certainity hit satisfac
tion, and indeed, be does not hesitate to say
that the conferences were entirely satis
factory to bo'h participants, and that be
found himself in perfect accord with Mr
Cleveland's ideas about what should be
done by tbe party in congress. Tbe im
portance to tbe democratic party at large
of this complete understanding between
Speaker Crop and Mr Cleveland can
hardly In ovetx-tunated. In tbe first
pi ace, it removes all danger of a 'bitter
fight over the speakership of the next house
and consequently means that perfect bar
mony will exist between those wbo will
control tbe legislation of the house and the
democratic preside-. t. and that mean
everything for the future success of the
party.
Your comtpndent regrets that be
cannot give as good newt of the prospects
in the next senate. In the first place, tbe
control of tbe senate of the next congress is
still very much in doubt, with the proba
bilities of ita being ia the hands of the
populists, who have, through Senator
Peffer, announced their intentions to put
their votes where they will do the most
good to themselves. Democrats here take
no ctock in tbe stories which repnb'ican
and mtgwump newspapers have been cir
culating about tbe intentions of Senator
Hill. Tbe senator himself has long ago
given up the attempt to put a stop to silly
stories by dignifying them with a denial,
but a gentleman wbo enjoys confidential
relations with him. and who is probably as
well anrmaiated with his intentions as any
one, except himself, said to me:
"Senator Hill is first of all a democrat, and
you will make no mistake by sietiting in
the most positive terms thai be will do
nothing in the senate that will be inco
si stent with Simon pare democracy. He
will support Mr Cleveland's administration
a loyally a any man in tbe senate, except
tn the matter of appointing mugwumps or
newly converted democrats, of the Wayne
MacVeigh stripe, to office. If Mr CVeve-
and nominate any of these men to
important cdoce I predict that Senator
Hill will endentta to prevent their co
irmation by the senate, but he will cast no
vote sgsinst the uaifirnistina of any mat
whose democracy is rmqnestioned. Be
member thia prediction, and see if time
does not prove it truthfulness."
Here is a specimen of extravaipxnt and
legislation, brought to light by
hers of tbe house cwmmirtee on appro
priations: In the estimates submitted for
appropriations for the next fiscal year by
the war iltpaiimeiil was esse item of,
1650.000 for artificial limb for soldiers.
Tbe huge amount for thia purpose suggest
ed an investigation which brought oat the
fact that up to the Fifty-first (billion dollar)
congress, soldiers entitled to artificial limbs
were authorised every five year to receive
uew leg or arms, or to take in i ittiinsiito
tion $75 for a leg and $50 for an arm-
During that conaieas without any reeotn-
meswlation or request from tbe war depart
ment a bill was libbied through by the
claim agents ring which at that time
collected about nine-tenths of the commu
tation money upon a big percentage of
coarse reducing the period to three years
(since then a mil af the .lerrt:T.t SssSt
the claim agents oat of this money). It
was also discovered that the anginal law
was more than liberal, as an artificial arm
will under ordinary usage last a life time
and that a leg !U from sit to eight years;
also that 9S per cent of those entitled to
artificial arm and 7$ per cent of those
entitled to leg regularly take the money
nstead of the limb. Further investigation
showed thst if this claim agent's law had
not been enacted the item wonld have been
$75,000 instead of $450,000. Quits a
difference, eh? This i only one instance
there are hundreds of them. It will, take
several years of democratic rule and vigi
lant investigation to get tbe expenditure
of this government down to an economical.
business basis, but it is going to oe aone.
The Democrat Uiievea that if tbe prop-
oaitloa to amend the assessment law prohib
iting deductions for indebtedness should be
passed by the legislature, tbe da of people
who now seem tooppote t most, the farmer,
would realize the errs! est relief from it. Tbe
farmer, as a class, have a much smaller
amount of sham indebtedne titer, other
classes, hence, while this proposed law would
increase the amount ot property upon which
the farmer would pay taxes, the iacrease in
the case of other classes would be relatively
much larger, and as the amount of total tax
able property of t'le state increases the rate
should decrease, the former cists would
really eeap a benefit from such legislation
The Coreans have to be very cautious when
they smoke lest the fire from their pipes fall
on their clothe, which often aie made of
paper. In our own land paper collars are

have gone so far a to wear paper hat, but
the height of absurdity would seem to be
retched tn the clothes line when peopl take
to making their other garments ot that ma
terial.

the duty in the way of devising measures to
