embraces one thousand lots and an
undivided half interest in seventy
,five acres now owned jointly by
this syndicate and the Oregon De
velopment company. They pro
pose to place the lots upon the
market this summer. Some of the
men in this Rvrwlir.atA ar in a po
sition to know the futuie move
ments of the Oregon Pacific -Rail-,
road company, and this purchase,
in connection with the Oregon De
' velopment company, may ba taken
as an indication of -the early re
sumption of work toward the com
pletion of this road to its eastern
connection.
Malicious Conduct. A com
plaint has been filed by B. T.
George, of this county, against
three of the-Dow boys and Janies
Thompson, who live near Monroe,
for disorderly conduct, etc. It
seems that on. Sunday, March
17th, the defendants were in Mon
roe and became very full of bug
juice, and while . on their road
home stopped and made a raid on
Mr. George's barn, by turning
things upside down generally,
drinking a lot of cider that , was
there,'and ending up by firing off
pistols. Mr. George was away at
the time, and his wife and children
; were pretty ' badly frightened.
Deputy Sheriff St. Clair went -after
these fellows on Tuesday with
warrants for their arrest, but they
"had skipped out, so he says, as no
one could tell where they were.
They mayyet find it was a costly
jollification for. St. Patrick's day.
Oxe Vag. A good specimen of
the vagrant order was pulled by.
Marshal Duim on Tuesday eve
ning, and on Wednesday was taken
before Recorder St. Clair. lie
said his name was John Jackson,
that he was no vag; he had an oc
cupation, called "whittling." It
seems that he is pretty handy with
the knife and whittles trinkets out
' of wood and begs for his meals
giving these in return. He is a
'healthy. looking tramp weighing
about 180 pounds, so the recorder
gave him his liberty providing he
immediately leave town. He; startr
ed and has probably struck' some
other city jail by this time. Cor
vallis is s poor place for tramps,
especially "whittlers." v Y
Degree of B. P. The Millers
burg, Pa., Sentinelof March, 22nd,
says: "Rev. W. C. Kantner, pas
tor of the Evangelical church of
this place, who for several years
has been pursuing a special course
of study under the direction of a
noted institution "in Chicago, 111.,
received a diploma this week, con
ferring upon. him the degree of
Bachelor of Philosophy." Mr.
Kantner was pastor of the Evan
gelical church in this city about
nine years ago.
The Parade. The stallion pa
rade which took place here .on
. Wednesday was not very ' exten
sive, only twelve horses appearing
on the grounds. These ,- twelve,
however, were very excellent
specimens of horse-flesh., especially
the runner Glenbrook, rand the
trottors, Altago and Oneco. '.The
former is owned by. G..G. Glenn,
of Salem, and the latter two by
McKnight Bros., of Albany. ,' -'

THOSE WHO ARK IN FAVOR OF , A BRICK
" SCHOOL BOTLDING.IHE PETITION. "
The following is the petition as
signed and presented to'the board of
school directors of this district, at their
meeting on last Friday evening. ; Mr,
Oraham says that this movement; has
completely disarranged the work of the
plans that have been presented to the
board, and that other plans will have
to be submitted. He thinks also, that
just as good a building can be erected
of wood, and looks ranch neater in its
general appearance: I
We, the undersigned, citizensiand'
taxpayers of School District, No. 9, in
Benton county, Oregon, would respect
fully request that the" board of directors.,
of said district, build a brick building ;
believing that, in the end, the district
will have a much .better and more,
commendable edifice, and one that is
less liable to fire, and in every way, add
much more to . the appearance, of the
town. ; i

Yaquina's Bard. The following
acrostic comes from the pen of the
Yaquina bay "bard." It was at
tached to a sign card of a Newport
real estate firm, which is hanging
in the Occidental hotel. The
author ''burrowed" very deep into
his imagination when he wrote it:
Tou may search the whole Pacific coast.

cm-jiry. Bat various rumors having been floating
tracsd to iho eCect thst he has struck it big, an
Examiner reprr'.er -was detailed to unearth tio
raueo. and after ranch "difficulty unraveled the fol
lowing story:
It ceas that about soven years ago an ErgJlsh
pltysioiau, a great student of botany, located for a
brief scaoon lit this city. Eis practice was not ex.
te- slve, and yet the few cases of a general naturo
that carao te him attracted no little attention. Els
