J. R. Myeus & Co.'s Suit. In
the case of J. R. Myers & Co., con
tractors, vs. the Pacific Construc
tion Co., the trial of which occu
pied the greater portion of the
time of the circuit court last week,
the jury, after being out about six
hours, returned a verdict in favor
of the plaintiffs, awarding thein
$8,000. The amount sued for was
$100,000. The suit was brought
to recover money claimed on ac
count of alleged false classiflcation
of work, what the contractors con
sidered solid lava rock having been
measured as earth and loose rock.

sport has just been organized by
some of the tennis players of the
city. They have purchased a
handsome outfit and play on the
vacant lot of the old south district
seliool. Both ladies and gentle
men belong and great interest is
being taken in the sport. Gentle

B. Walker and J. M. Stewart.
Ticket No. 2. A second con
vention was held m the court
house, this city, last Sa'turday eve
mng ana anouier city ticket was
placed in the field. The following
persons were' placed in nomination
for the various city offices: For
mayor, Dr. J. M. Applewhite; for
marshal, James' Dunn; for record
er, J. M. Porter; for treasurer,
Samuel Hitchens; for councilman,
1st ward, Pun Avery; 2nd ward,
Ralston Cox; 3rd ward, J. D.
Clark. The convention favored
submitting the question, "Shall
cows be allowed to run at large?"
to the voters at the coming elec
tion. - As there are now two tick
ets in the field considerable inter
est will be taken in the election
which takes place next Monday,
and it is probable that a larger
vote will' be polled than at any
previous election held in the city
Its Future Growth Assured.-
President Reid, of the Astoria and
South Railway Co., in his recent
report to the directors, pays:
"There are only four large open
ecean ports in the Pacific Coast of
the United States, San Diego, San
Francisco, Puget Sound and As
toria, the last named terminus of
your road. which with suburbs,
lias seven miles ot deep water
frontage adjoining the jetty . im
provements, made by the govern
ment at an expense of $2,000,000.
With steamers a connection: in
twenty-six hours is had between
Astoria and all ports on Puget
bound, without constructing any
railway thereto. When the steam
boat railway at the Upper Cascades
is finished, the interior river grain
traffic of Eastern Oregon and
Washington for 800 miles will ter
minate at Astoria, and there be
placed on foreign bottoms to Eu
rope, just as the Willamette valley
and Western Oregon grain trade
will do at Astoria, when this road
is connected with the valley sys
tem, of roads. The growth of As
toria is thus assured." The Ore
gon Land Co. has lots in Astoria
which it offers as desirable bar-
ltf.
Bakery Sold. E. E. Paddock
proprietor of 'The People's Gro
cery" store has sold the bakery
department to August Schloeman.
Mr. Schloeman took possession on
the first of May, and will continue
Jthe business at the same quarters.
Fixger Mashed. Last Saturday
Neil Newhouse, who is employed
in Friendly's sawmill, had the
third finger of his left hand
badly mashed. He was holding a
spike while one ot the employees
was driving it with a sledge and
by some means his finger got un
der the sledge just as t he blow was
struck. The bone of the finger
wasmashed, batiDr. C. H.Lee,
who dressed the wound, thinks it
will not be necessary to amputate
t.
Fell From a Trestle. Last
Sundav the nine vear old child of
Ir. Pague, who lives at Summit
Station on the O. P. railroal, fell a
distance of thirty feet from a rail
road trestle just west of the sta
tion, producing' a lacerated frac
ture of the right , forearm. Dr.
Pernot was sent for and set the
broKen Jimb. lne little sunerer
was brought to tins c;ty jiionuay
and is being made as comfortable
as possible at the residence of J.
R. Scrafford. It is a wonder that
he was not killed outright.
Makino Both Ends Meet. At
Sunnyside, four miles south of
Salem, the Oregon Land Co. has a
force of men and teams at work
planting sugar corn between the
rows ot trees in its lUO-acre or
chard. This corn is for the use of
the cannery. By this enterprise
the company finds employment for
several of its small tract purchas
ers, who have to hire out till their
farms get to bearing; it also helps
the cannery along through its
opening year; ana the cultivation
of the corn keens the orchard
thoroughly worked over. Here
are three good ends secured, beside
the profit that may be derived
from the crop. ltf.
Rice's Beautiful Evangeline.
Rice's Beautiful Evangeline opens
a two nights' engagement at Job's
theatre, May 9. It is a decidedly
clever production, and for an at
traction that has been on the road
the length of time that has
"Evangeline" its success has been
marvelous. "Vangy" has been
be! ore the public the past seven
teen years and still it achieves a
magnificent triumph. It is full of
uproarous fun, constant merriment,
the essence of pantomime and the
acme of all that is amusing and
brilliant. With all such people as
George Fortesque, as Catherine or
"Love's Young Dream," and
James F.Maffit. as the "lone fisher
man," the original of the cast,
"Evangeline" never grows old, be
cause those two are incomparable;
and another reason that the play
does not grow old, is that "Evange
line" is in the hands ot a pretty
young woman, in the person of
Miss Yolance Wallace She is
sweet-faced, modest and winning,
has a sweet voice and a beautiful
figure. Bessie Tannehill, who
takes the part of Gabriel, is a
shapely figure of femininty, dash
ing, and has a voice as clear as a
bell. Ella Rock, as.Eulalie, is
winsome, and Catherine McLaen
has a form as symmetrical as a
statue. Her enunciation is per
fect, a rare thing to find in a bur
lesque artist. Peter F. Daly, as
Le Blanc, is the best seen in the
West, and much is expected of his
performance here. As a whole
the company is very good, and the
chorus in voice, figure .and cos
tumes is excellent. This may es
pecially be said of the march in
the second act,in which twenty gor
geously attired young ladies will
take part. The music is good.
"Where art thou now my beloved?"
"Come to me quickly my darling,"
the kissing duet are particularly
taking. "Evangeline" is not only
beautiful in its specialties, but the
production is more on the spectac
ular order than ever. -

Repairing the Track. Road
master J. H. McQuaid with a crew
of fifty men went to the front of
the Oregon Pacific Tuesday for
the purpose of putting the road in
repair to the end of the track.
The track from Albany to the
front was considerably damaged
by the floods and storms last win
ter. If this warm weather con
tinues it will melt the snow in the
mountains sufficient to resume
work at an early date.
The Southern Pacific. In an
interview' with an Oregonian le
porter on Wednesday, April 29th,
C. P. Huntington has the follow
ing to say concerning the Corvallis
extension of the west side road:
u As soon as the Corvallis-JunGtion
extension is done, it is expected
that the Southern Pacific will di
vide its train from San Francisco
into two sections, allowing those
who desire to come down on the
west side road to do so. Arrange
ments are already made to use t he
Grand Union depot by both the
east and west side road. These
accommodations were arranged
for it appears, at the recent con
ference of railroad magnates in
Portland." By this arrangement
the whole country along the west
side road will be greatly benefited.
I. O. O. F. Anniversary. Sat
urday, April 26th. was Odd Fel
lows day. This secret benovolent
and beneficial order had its origin
in London about the year 1745.
The earliest lodges merely assem
bled for social purposes, the fea
tures of the order being the initia
ting ceremony and the collection
of money for the purpose of assist
ing needy membsrs. It was about
the year 1800 when the order be
gan to assume proportions, and on
April 26, 1819, Thomas Widley
and four others who had been
members of Odd Fellows lodges
in England, organized a lodge in
Baltimore, Md., ealling it Wash
ington Lodge, No. 1, L O. O. F.
Consequently the order in America
was 71 years old on Saturday.
From an insignificant order then,
it has riseu to be second to none
in power, influence and the good
accomplished, throughout the civ
ilized world. To be an Odd Fel
low in good standing is to stamp a
man as being of high character
and intelligence. The Odd Fel
lows is one of our most worthy
orders.. Barnum 'Lodge, of this
city, is one of the oldest lodges of
this order in the state and Satur
day evening the anniversary was
celebrated in an appropriate man
ner at their hall, by the members,
assisted by the Rer eccas. A few
guests were invited and by nine
o'clock the hall was comfortably
filled. The assembly was then
called to order and an excellent
literary programme which had
been prepared was rendered;, after
which refreshments were served
and a pleasant social time was en
joyed for the remainder of the
evening.

strument. This is another valuable im
provement which this church has added to.
