State Convention of the W. C. T. U.
' a
Kobkbiko, May 15.
Editor Democrat:
The white ribbon women have spread
tltetngvlvea over as much of Koseburg as
KSBiblo. The city is hospitality porson
itied, every arrangement posaibie has
been made for the comfort of the visitors,
and they are enjoying this kindness im
mensely. The delegation is not as large as usual,
on account of the scarslty of money only
59 delegates have reported so far. There
will doubtless be others here todav.
Everything is moving on smoothly a n.
rapioiy. i append a synopsis ot tne
portoi the State Corresponding Secretary
and hope to send you some interesting
tomoriow. ii. B.
We have an enrollment of 9i unions,
1503 active and 353 honorary members.
79 unions have sent annual reports. JTlm j
14 unions wiacn nave tailed to report nad
last year 191active and 55 honorary mem
bers, and had they reported this year it
must have materially increased our list of
members. I have been able to report 22
new uuions out of 23 actually organized
during the year. We have an addition
of 322 active and 29 honorary members
more than we had last year. Number of
"Y" unions, 7; membership, 172 active,
and 62 honorafy members. Total mem
Itership, including "Y's," 1675 active and
417 honorary members. It must be re
membered while my report gives the act
ual number of members enrolled, yet the
treasurers report must be depended upon
for the number of paid up members the
basis of our representation in the Na
tional convention. New unions seldom
pay state dues in full in advance, yet
they are, certainly right in reporting the
number of names enrolled, borne of the
unions which failed to report this year
are doing good work, but it would be
useless for me to report the statistics of
last year, as nuuibi-rs vary from year to
year.
Altogether the work reported to me
through my correspondence with the
unions, is far in advance of any year
since the financial panic began. From
every quarter has come the most cheer
ing and encouraging words, which sho
how courageously the w hite ribbon have
adjusted their work to the changed con
dition caused by the most remarkable
period of financial depression the country
has ever known. In the name of our
great national leader, we may welt
"Take heart of hope" as we follow "The
Gospel's stream along the hills of hope
to help prepare the way for the coming of
tne ixro, in custom as wen as in law."

Bute Bictrr Mines Aoais. It has
been some time since the Democrat has
written about any Linn countv men
starting to find the famous Bine Bucket
mines ot tastern Oregon. The follow
ing from The Dalles Times Mountaineer
indidatea that faith in the mines has not
died oat: In conversation with an old
pioneer who arrived in Oregon in 1S45,
we learn that his faith has not abated in
eventually finding what has been termed
by those immigrants who took the Meek
Cut-off the Blue Bucket mines. He rec
collects well while passing through a dry
gulch of picking up the dry yellow chunks
of some kind of mineral, and says that
a bucketful could easily be procured.
When thev camped at night they took
the nuggets out of their pockets and beat
them between stones aud proved thev
were perfect'y malleable. But they did
not know where they were, winter was
appraorhing and they were anxions to
reach the settlements. Yt eary ana loot-
so re, with sickness and death as constant
visitors, thev had little inclination to
think about gold, and their only desire
was to reach the illamette valley
and rest after their tiresome journey.
There are certain landmarks which our
informant discerned in the Harney county
a few years ago, and someday he calcul
ates to spend some time in locating the
spot where the precious metal covered the
ground in as great profusion as pebbles
do a rocsy beach.
EvERTBODr Witt Ride. There has'
been considerable interest manifested
among wheelmen over the report that
Stndekaker Bros,, the wagon manufact
urers, are preparing to flood the country
with biryc.es of superior make, to cost
less than one-third the price dealers are
now asking for them. At the present
time it is impossible to purchase a first
class wheel for less than $100. Stude
baker Bros, will, it is said, within sixty
days have a thousand wheels in Portland
as good as any that can be found here now
and thev will be sold at from $ 25 to (30
each. The campan claim that they can
make money at these figures. The cost
of constructing the bicycle is said to be
about $15 to $18, and 75 or 100 per cent is
a pretty good profit. It was also re
ported this week that another Portland
manufacturing firm would go into the
bicycle business and compete with Stude
baker Bros. But this could not be ver
ified. However, there is no doubt as to
the intention of Studebaker Bros. Then
people in moderate circumstances can af
toru to ride bicycles. One hundred dol
lars for a $15 wheel is outrageous. Sun

that recently visited the bay, with the
view of ascertaining what further im

cable, were very favorably impressed
with the harbor, and it is confidently
expected that their recommendations to
the department will be favorable and
that the wants of Yaquina bay ere long

been at the wharf to see the excursion
party off. The husband was irate aud
tried to have the marshal arrest the
drayman, which, of course he refused to
do ; then he went to the recorder to get a
warrant, which .ikewise was of course
refused as it was merely an accident for
wnich no one was too blame.

The Willamette Scrvk. The IT. S.
engineers surveying the Willamette in
order to find out what ia already known,
have reached Salem.V The Journal inter
viewed 1'apL Cunningham, who has the
work in charge, who said: "Without a
doubt the river i favorable to improve
ment clear to Eugene. It would not take
much money to make the river navigable
the year around. It is an easy streum to
improve compare.! to such streams as
the Missouri and southern rivers. A
few piling driven here and there to force
the water into one channel would make
it easily navigable the year round. That
ia what is principally needed. There is
enough water to navigate the
year round from Portland to Eugene,
if it can lie kept in one channel. The
Willamette is a wonderful stream in
Capt. Cunningham's eyes. It is power
ful and the soil is less friable and lea
erosive than eastern or southern stream.
The heavy timU-r holds the soil t-wther
and prul-tj the idior line.". There is
only $6,000 appropriated for the survey
from Eugene down. Mr, Cunningham
thinks he ran get to Portland at least
with that. The work is done with tran
sits and level, and then majw are made
showing the meandering of the stream.
No chain measuring is done. Two extra
hairs in the transit instrument are$et so
as to cut exactly a foot on a vernier rod
at a distance of 100 feet, the system be
ing called the stadia, or measurement of
space by vertical distance. The work is
tested every night by a steel tape.

A Disgraceful Affair.
The Salem Journal devotes a column
under a lour header in an account of
how five young men, three being from
Albany, attempted to ruin a seventeen
year old girl from Corvallis while on the
recent excursion at Salem. The Journal
says :
She started to call on some friends out
south of town and in walking out was
overtaken by two young men whom she
recognized as being on the excursion in a
carriage. They asked her to ride. Soon
three young men joined them. At a
lonely pla they urged her to get out,
but she refused, when they forced her
out of the the carriage and into the
bushes with all sorts of vile threats.
The rest of her story is too horrible to
detail. The two men had assaulted her
and torn her clothes and nearly rccotn
plished their purpose, when a Salem
man drove along and alarmed them so
that they let her go and took to their
heels. From the girl's story and all the
actions of the men and the circumstances
as described by the Salem man, (who
lives in l ew Park, on Oak street, and is
periectiy rename,) tne ' live men un
doubtedly had determined' to commit as
infamous a crime as can well be imag
ined. The Salem police are making clone
inquiry for the men. The Salem police
are on the track of the men, three of
whom are young sports from Albany and
two from Corvallis, one a hebrew..
The Statesman says the story is some
w hat fishy, though the Salem 'man also

Mrs. Moore on whose farm Fox resides,
left a saddle in his charge with instruc
tions not to let anyone have it without
her permit. And, in the absence of Fox.
Walton took p eion of the saddle and
when accosted on the matter claimed he
had Mrs. Moore's permit to take it, which
Fox disrated, and peremptorily demand
ed it. Waiton resisted the demand de
term idly which sio.t led to a regular

ton between uimeif and mother earth
and proceeded to chaw his ear at a fear
ful rate. Walton's wife interfered to
save hif ear and in the effort, got her
fingers in Fox's mouth with the result of
a badly "chawed" finger. At this junc
ture of the battle George Thomas appear
ed on tlte scene and parted them. Wal
ton's only satisfaction ia that he still
holds the saddle.
