CHRISTMAS EVE DOINGS.
Santa Claus waa around Christmas eve
iui a gooa euppiy ot seasonable pres
ents, suitable for the times.
Ti e exercises at the 0. P. church were
delightful ones, greatly appreciated by a
iuii noust). oama uiaus came aown a
cnunney and took his presents from an
immense snow ball. The exercises
greatly pleased all.
Two trees held good things for the
Baptist children. A well tarried out
program was rendered.
The Episcopalian children convened
with Santa Claus at the house of Mrs.
Telfer where a tree was well filled with
handsome presents.
Two trees and pleasing exercises made
the hearts of tha Methodist boys and
girls happy.
At the Presbyterian church Santa
Oiaua came down a chimney. There
was a pretty tree but the presents were
loaded on a merry-go round, lighted
with electricity, the work of E. E. Golf.
Appropriate exercises were given.
At the Evangelical church two trees
and a eood oroeram furnished aiehta an I
entertainment Tor the evening.
The Cottsrregationahsts had an eleeant
tree, well tilled with useful and pretty
presents distributed by St Nicholas in
the form of Willie Merrill. A fine pro
gram was rendered.
A treat was given theTJ P. children.
After pleasing exercises, during which
the approach of Santa Claus waa herald
ed by telephonic messages received from
along the route, a splendidly made street
car, the work of Geo. E. Acheson, Ed
Blodgett and others, rolled into a station
on the stage, with a young Santa Claus
eem through a window and a diminu
tive driver in front. Little bova wheel
ed the presents from the station, stop
ping to spit on their hands, and they
were distributed.
There were a number of private trees
through the city and a merry tin.e was
had.
Certainly an Oddity.
Loyd Montgomery is certainly an od
dity, a moral enigma. He seems to hare
as little regard for his word as for hu
man life. To a person who has called on
him several times since he was sentenced
he has dogsediv insisted that his first
confeesin in which ho alleged that M c-
Kercher killed his parents and ne killed
McKercher was correct, and that he
would have persisted in this storr if not
practically forced to make the other
statement, and that if he had been per
mitted to confess when sentenced, this
was the one he intended to make, lie
claims in the story he is now telling that
before the shooting McKercher asked
hia father if he had sold his hops, and
the answer was "yes, on yesterday," and
immediately after the shooting 'began,
implying that McKercher did it for the
money. This is the worst kind of fabri
cation, and it is not true that be waa
forced to give the full confession to any
one. His statement betore the grand
jury particularly was as voluntary as
anything ever giveu. Tbe matter simply
shows the peculiar calibre of this young
man.
Montgomery is now having a real
time with the Fox brothers, fiddling,
singing, etc., entirely oblivions of the fu
ture. He says he is willing to die for
a hat he did. bat is eoine to have a rood
time before hand.
All Mixed Up.
The manner in which bank stock was
assessed this year by the different coun
ties waa ouite- ridiculous. Here ia the
result:
"Baker countv. no bank stock shown :
Benton countv. assessed at 50 per cent
of par valae; Clackamas county at 75
per cent; (J rook at w ; Coos, C urry, Co-
umbis, Crrant, Harney, Josephine, Jack
son, Klamath, Lake, Lincoln, Ma! hear,
Sherman, Tillamook, Washington, Wal
lowa counties, no bank stock shown;
Clatsop at 70 per cent; Douglas 40; Gil
liam 50: Lane 110: Linn 65: Marion
Capital National 70 percent: Morrow
60; Polk 75; Umatilla 65; Union 60;
asco 75 ; 1 amhill 100 ; Multnomah,
First National bank, 105 per cent of par
value; Commercial 54 per cent.
tven the state board of equalization
was confused and reported : "We con
fined our investigation to national banks.
With the information wa have we can
not determine what would be an eanit-
aLle aesemment of bank stock of each
county. To reach such a conclusion it
is necessarv to know the amount of sur
plus and undivided profits of each bank.
ve believe, however, that the actual
value of the shares of stock cannot be
less than tbe par value of the paid up
capital stock.'

A Slippery Englishman.
Edwin Ltne who is in jail at CorvaUia
for swindling people on checks cot backed
by tbe uuh seems to have been a slip
pery man generally. He is an English
man and amocg his thingt was found
the following advertisement in an Eng
lish newspaper Uiat reads :
"Gentlemen's soon, desiring to emi
grate to Oregon U. S. A. I have va
cancy for two or three pu ri Is, learn cattle
raising, ranching-, all kinds of farming,
under experienced hands. I'lc-nty ot
good hunting and fishing, good com
fortable home, first class board and lodg

annum, with prospect of making guod
wagea second year, if desirable. Good
opening for young man who is willing to
rough it a little. Further, write per
sonally Edwin Lane, Summit, Benton
county, Oregon, V. S. A."
Lane is a friend of Wallis Nash, and
Mr. Nash, on account of Lane's good
parentage in England has been trvinn to
get him released by the District Attor
ney, agreeing that be will get ont of the
country. Lane is also under $.100 bonds
in Multnomah county for (retting money
on fraudulent chucks, lie should be

where such fellows belong.
Prepare to Groan.
Oregon is about to reap the whirlwind
raised by the last extravagant and in'
competent state legislature. The story
is tout in tbe lollowing item in the balem
Statesman :
"Those in a position to have some
knowledge of the subject express the be-
net that the state lew lor l$m will be
tbe largest in several years. It is said
this will be the result of the abnormally
small levy made a year atro. thronuSi
which a shortage in nearly all tho lm
poriant lunus has been created. It is
thought likely that not less than seven
mills will be rennired to meet the cur
rant demands. It is hinted that Secre
tary of btate Kincaia hates considera
bly under the necessity which will com
pel him after only one year in office to
more than double the last levy made by
his predecessor, this, too, notwithstand
ing bis strict personal scrutiny with a
view to close economy."
excuses will be out ot placj and will
not be tolerated. An average of five
mills is an outrage.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently
performed a great deed of charity, al
though it was not designed as a charity,
being nothing more nor less than an ad
vertising scheme. It however resulted
in great good just the same. They gave
away 1,000 bottles of their digestive Cor
dial to those suffering from stomach de
ransenients. -
. It was so effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they were loud in
their praises of it and in consequence a
large demand for the cordial was at once
created.
The druggista of this town have little
books that tell all about it. Digestive
Cordial creates an appetite, aids diges
tion and brings about a rapid Increase in
I flesh and streneth.
Laxol is the name ot a palatable Cas
