A correspondent in ths Roseburg rlaindealer tells the following : : Oar first New Year's dinner in Oregon was nariRKen m J84&, Hfty years ago, We were living on the Luckiamute in Polk county. A neighbor of ours, Green B. Smith, had lost some calves supposed to be killed by a panther. On the first of Jannary that year a half dozen of us ae sejnbied at bmitn's house to hunt, and, if possible, to find the animal and put an end to his depredations on his band of cattle. We surrounded a fir thicket of about ten acres, started a dog on his tractc and soon the animal ascended a tree for safety. David Stamp with un erring aim discharged his rino t him, and he came tumbling to the ground. Through curiosity, and to teat the qual ity of meat of said' animal, we skinned him, selected some choice portions and broiled it over hot coals ; but when the time came for feting its qualities as an article of diet, we found it most disgust ing to the sense of taste, and worse than the male meat we had eaten ol in the Cascades previously - when oat of muck-a-muck. Bo our dmnt r was at last con fined to boiled wheat and camas, lux uries that are seldom seen on the tables of epicures 'in these latter days. Old pioneers can call to mind those days of early, pioneer life and contrast them with the present manner of living, brought about through their instrumentality in their being the leaders in- the advance of civilization on this coast. Calliug to re- memDrance those early times, we wish tne surviving old pioneers a prosperous ana most nappy iew l ear. Against Public Policy. The matter of assessment of property is one of the most important before the people of Oregon, and should be discuss ed generally by the people and papers. The following is from the Pendleton E.O. The Albany Democrat savs: "The East Oregonian of Pendleton wants a law that will entitle people to buy prop erty at 25 per cent above it" assessed value. Of all proposed laws that is the most ridiculous. Many men own resi dences that they would hardly sell at any price, and it would bean injustice to compel them to pay an enormous tax .on that account." Ihe East Oregonian wants the law, just the same, in the face of the "ridiculous" objection of the Democrat. The "residences" that are owned by "many men," who would not sell them at any prii-e. would not !ind purchasers at an "enormous" figare un der such a law as the East Orevonian wante. However, the law would so raise the assessment values and limit the value of property needed for public purposes that the whole people would be greatly benefitted by it and the present aniust method ol assessment would be freatly improved by ir. The law wanted y the East Oregonian is worthy of be ing given a trial, tne Democrat to the contrary notwithstanding. nevertheless such a proposed law would be against public policy. The DniocitAT thouch. would be in favor of a law uiat would make assessments equal the state over; if anyone can de vine such a law. WE WANT YOUR TRADE. vve are here to please you.

Following is the complete result of the action of the elate board of equal iaa'ion in reference to Linn county: City lou. raided 8 per cent; merchan dise, 10 per cent; cattle, 30 per cent; roiang stock, a per cent; sheep SO per cent. Other kinds of property remain the same. The total raise in the county will amount to nearly $300,000. The state tax on this will probably be $1000 tosizuu. n niie una county gets uited this way the whole state is lowered sev eral million dollars on the aaaeswment. GOODS FOR THE MINES, The grccjiy department of 8."E, Young's store presented a wholesale ap pearance today. The clerks were bui preparing about 15,000 pounds of goods for shipment into theLawler mines. The goods consist of beans, bacon, bams, su gar, canned goods, etc, in (net the win ter's supply for the miners in the Lawler mines. A shipping order was also given Stewart & Sox for- large quantity of powder. These goods will go tomor row morning, and be taken at once into the mines. Through the energy of Mr. Lawler the mill machinery has been taken far enough to insure its arrival 'at the mines in a few days, the weather of the last lew days being favorable for the work, ho t. was finally decided to push the winter and spring work regardless of snow. Tne company has an immense supply of ore on hand, in fact all the bins are filled, so that as soon as the mill is put in position in the building await ing ll, won can ue pusueti irom uie very start. The first cleanup will tie watched with great interest, as it will then be es tablished irom actual experience what tho ore will pay. It is thought to be rich, and there is no doubt that the re sult will be very satisfactory. It will probably only take a few moaths run to pay all the expenses the company has been too. All this means a great deal to A! ban v. the center of supplies, and operations for the mines. Fickle LoyJ Montgomery. George U. Piper, of the Oregon "an. last night, while in the cily waiting for the overland to leave for California, made Loyd Montgomery his third visit, i George has completely gotten into thJ graces) of young Montgomery.

The public already knows this was the correct version ; no one ha ever doubted that he shot all three and with the gre&u-st premeditation. The fact estab lishes1 1 be wonderful ficklenew of this boy, who seems to have as little regard for his word as he did for human life. Mi. Piper is a good interviewer and his story, which it I said wt;l appear in to morrow s or Sundav a Uregonian. will be read with interest. 189R MARRIAGES.
