The annual meeting of the sheriffs of Oregon will be held this year at Eugene, beginning next Monday. Mrs. Jcwoph Pironi, of Portland, was in the city the first of the week in ttendance upon her sister, Mrs Jas. unn. Prof. P. L. Washburn will leave the first of the week for Southern Oregon in the interest of the agricultural college. O. O. Hodson, manufacturer of iron cornice and roofing, of McMinnville, was in the city on business the first of the week. An agricultural implement firm at McMinnville claims to have sold 63 McCormick binders. Ain't dot yust a Leedle high, eh 1 Prof. J. D. Letcher started last week for Alaska, where he will spend the summer, hoping to improve the state of Lis health by the outing. The galvanized iron cornice for the new city hall is being supplied by Hopkins Bros., of Albany, and is now being put in by Ed. Quinn. Miss Georgiana Steven", of Boston, Mass., is in the city visiting the family of D. C. Rose. She will probably remain two or three months. Swinburne says in his new essay on Herrick: "He knew what he could not do, a rare and invaluable gift." We know lots of people who don't possess that gift. Union miners are killing non union tninerj in Idaho with bullets and dyna mite because they take the lowered wages which the union men had refused. Yet there is free trade in the product of Idaho mines. Prof. S. A Starr, who for some time filled the chair of natural science at the Willamette university recently resigned, and Rev. Leonard G. Coch ran, of Fayette, Iowa, has been elected to fill the vacancy. How it does recall old times to see your boy come home with another boy's shirt on and his back sunburned from his hear to his heels ! It makes a fellow want to be a boy and go swim ming again himself. The hum of the thresher is begin ning to be heard through the land, one of the crews in this vicinity having begun active operations this week, while several more are making prepa rations to start next week. The suit to recover the insurance on the Inman saw mill, burned in this county last year, was tried in Portland last week and resulted in a compro mise. The mill was insured for $2500 and an agreement was reached at $1250. The health board of Seattle has de cided to raise the smallpox quarantine against Victoria and other British Columbia cities unless new cases are reported there. In the meantime the precautionary regulations will not be relaxed. It would be a mistake, perhaps, to argue that protection is wholly a failure because there ate some workmen at Homestead who are not satisfied with wages ranging from $4 to 11 a day. The question arises, what wages is pro tection expected to give? The last issue of the Leader con tained an account of an expedition to Mary's peak a short time ago and asks if the trip has ever baen made in less time. Yes, friend Pape, it has. On the 5th of August of last year, Messrs. JT. B. Walker and Harry Arnold left Corvallis at 6 a. m., arrived at the sum mit at 1 1 a. m., ate their lunch there and returned to Corvallis, arriving distance. We think this time has not b e-i beaten. Rev. L. I. Mercer is in San Fran cisco purchasing the furniture and oth er furnishings for the new church, which is now rapidly approaching com pletion. It is expeeted that in a few weeks the edifice will be ready for divine services to be held in it. During the pastor's absence services will be discontinued. There is trouble in Salem over a proposed attempt ofthe townspeople to recover from the county $3761.77, an amount representing a 2-mill tax col lected from them on account of roads, none of which has been spent in the city.The money, howeverjias all gone and the county will probabfy oppose payment and court a lawsuit. We are fn receipt of the programme of the summer assembly of the Oregon Ch .ntauqua literary and scientific circle, to be held at Gearhart -Park, Clatsop county, August 1st to 14th. A most interesting and profitable assembly is assured, and we find that Prof. G. W. Sbavr, of the agricultural college, will deliver a series of lectures on chemistry. Rev. G. W. White, pastor ot the A. M. E. Church, of Salem, was in the city this week canvassing for subscrip tions for the purpose of erecting a church building for the use of the col ored people, to be known as St. Paul's church in Salem. He comes highly endorsed by the principal pastors of that city and we hope he will meet with success in his efforts. A not particularly pleasing fact is told on the authority, of a Chinese officer about one use to which tea is put in that country. L-irge quanti ties are employed for preserving the bodies ofthe dead. fcTIie officer as serts that a corpse placed in the center of a box of tea may be preserved from decay and dissolution for many years. He further declares that tea which has been employed in this capacity is often exported for foreign consump tion, the boxes being marked in a way known only to the natives. Parents cannot exercise too rigid a censorship over the literature their children devour. There is a startling similarity between the themes of some of the cheap novels of the present day and the case of Alice Mitchell, the young girl now on trial for the murder of her friend and bosom companion, Freda Ward. Miss Mitchell was a irl of abundant leisuri, and, a-i the testimony adduced at the trial lias shown, in addition to a disordered in tellect inherited from her mother, was allowed to pack her head full of erotic litetature without stint. The other day a badger pushed his way out through the sandbank on C. E Miller's place about a half a mile east of Fossil, Gilliam couuty. Nothing strange in that, and mention would not be made of it but for the fact that Mr. Badger pushed ahead of him a bucketful of coal, which Mrs. Miller gathered up and used for fuel. Where did the little miner bring the coal from The Fossil Journal ventures to state there is not a mile of ground between Fossil and the John Day river, a dis tance of 20 miles, in which coal can not be found by boring a moderate depth. Another Bicycle Record. Last week we published an extract from the Statesman, giving the facts of a re markable feat in bicycle riding accom plished by Messrs. Lockwood and Taylor, of Salem. That trip was fairly outdone last Sunday, however, by Chas. Hodson, of this city, who started from here at about 5 a. m. Sunday morning, took breakfast at Independence and dinner at McMinnville; then turning round and retracing his road, ate sup per at Independence and came home that evening, making the entire dis tance, 106 miles, in a trifle under four teen hours. Mr. Hodson rode on a solid-tire Victor bicycle, model of 1890, thinks that had he used a cushion or pneumatic wheel he would have short ened the time considerably. It stands, however, as one of the most remark able performances ever made on the wheel in the state on such roads as he encountered, and is worthy the atten tion of ambitious bicyclists. He re ports the roads between here and Independence good, but between In dependence and McMinnville tney are heavy and dusty. Who'll break the record next J Kicked by a Horse John Benson a farmer living few miles north of this city, was in town Tuesday and in the evening, on the way home, when near E.R. Locke's place north of to wn,some thing about the harness got out of or der and he descended from his vehicle to repair it While standing behind the horse the animal suddenly kicked him with terrific force on the leg, tearing the flesh from the bone for nearly eight inches, but without breaking the bone. Msdical assistance was procured as soon as possible and he is getting along as well as could be expected under the circumstances. TAKEN TO OREGON CITY. Wilson, the murderer of Mamie Walsh, was taken to Oregon City on Monday by Sheriff Ganong, of Clack amas county. Superintendent Down ing, of the penitentiary, became weary of keeping such a troublesome charge and consulted with the governor and also with the Clackamas county ofli cials. The superintendent wanted to get rid of Wilson, but the Clackamas county officials didn't want to receive him. Downing finally succeeded in procuring an order from Circuit Judge McBride and armed with this he de manded that the sheriff of Clackamas county come and get his man, which was accordingly done. Ev;rythin about Oregon City is quiet and no trouble from mob violence is antici pated, as it is said the Milwaukee peo ple are content to let the law take its course. When Wilson confessed the murder of five persons at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, parties at Salem at once entered into correspondence with Geo. Van Beek, sheriff of Henry county, who replied that if Wilson committed the murders which de claims he has, he must have done it elsewhere. He is remembered there as the man who resisted arrest by ex-Sheriff Dvvyer and in a rough-and-tumble scuffle bit the latter's face dreadfully. His father lives in the county and is looked upon as a good citizen. A second letter from the same source tells of another crime for which Wilson may have to answer. The sheriff had an interview with Horace Earr, of that county, who claims that Wilson told him, or strongly hinted, that he had killed a man in California while he was there. The point for investigation now is to see whether there is any truth in the matter or whether it is only some of Wilson's disgustingly silly babble. Later. Just as we are going to press the report reaches us that Wilson has committed suicide by hanging himself by one of the bandages from his arm. Nothing definite was to be learned, and full particulars can not be obtained at this hour. The Game Law. The last session of the legislature enacted as follows in reference to feathered game: "Every person who shall within the state of Oregon between the 15th day of March, and the 1st day of September of each year take, kill, injure, or destroy or have in possession, sell or offer for sale any wild swan, mallard duck, wood duck, widgeon, teal, spoon-Will, gray, black, sprigtail or canvas-back duck, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Also every person who shall between No vember 15th and September 1st of the following year, take, kill, injure or destroy, 'or have in possession, sell or offer for sale any grouse, pheasant, Mongolian pheasant, quail or partridge, except for breeding purposes, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." It will be seen that Chinese and other pheasants, grouse, quail and partridges, can only be killed between September 1st and November 15th, and the person who eats them is as guilty as the one who kills them. The law should be lived up to, as it is the only way our best game can be preserved in this valley. Good Bread. One of our Corval lis housewives, who has earned the enviable reputatiou of making bread which is equal or even superior to that made by anv other in this vicinity, has been kind enough to give us her recipe, which we publish for the bene fit of all, especially those who have not as good luck in their bread making as they desire. Here it is: One half gal Ion of sliced potatoes, well mashed ; a small quantity of hops tied in a cloth and boiled with the potatoes (it is very good without the hops); one and one half cups of flour well scalled with one quart of boiling water; one quart ot cold water; one-half cup of silt; one-half cup of sugar; two yeast cakes to start with. Allow one cup of yeast and one cup of water to etch loaf of bread. Make up, knead, mould out, graase the tops of loaves, let rise jut once and bake, and if you d not pro nounce it the most delicious bread you ever ate, we'll give it up an 1 confiws we don't know good bread when we taste it. RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, The Ruler of all things has in his wisdom, called to her heavenly reward our esteemed sister, Mary Johnsu, a char ter member of our orders, therefore be it Resolved, That in her death, Corvallis Grange, No. 242, has lost one of its most loved and useful members; one who was ever ready to extend a helping hand to for warding the cause of our order; while our hearts are heavy with sorrow, and with the knowledge that we have lost a friend iu the truest sense of the word, we extend our tenderesfc sympathy to the bereaved family of our deceased sister, in their great afflic tion. Resolved, That our shorter be draped in mourning for thirty days, and that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family of our deceased sister, and that they be Bpread upon the minutes of our proceed ings, and a copy be furnished the press for publication. Signed. - Alice Horning, Mrs. Geo. Taylor, F. L. Washburn. Committee, STEAMER YOUNG liURNED. The little steamer T5. C. Young was apparently launched under an unfavor able star, as throughout her entire existence she has met with nothing but a series of misfortunes, having broken her wheel once or twice and being laid up in consequence, then she ran against a snag and tore a large hole in her bottom, making it necessary to beach her for several weeks while repairs were being made. Now, to complete the list of disasters, we are called upon to chronicle the fact that the little craft was burned to the water's edge last Friday while tied up at Dove's landing above Salem and is almost a total loss. The Yoifng had been tied up for some time on account of low water, but was making preparations to resume work and was to have commenced towing logs to Salem on Saturday. The cause of the fire is unknown, as when discovered by parties passing on the county road thel entire steamer was ablaze. The house and everything above the water line was swept clean, nothing remain ing of the boat except the hull. While she was burning the lines by which she was moored were burned and she drifted down and across the river, burning as she went. The Young was built in this city by Messrs. Young & Dove Bros., and her machinery was built and put in by the Salem iron works. She was de . signed for service on the upper river and had made several trips above liar risburg, ascending often as high as Eugene. The machinery of the boat was of the best and, considering her size, of great power. She drew about twenty eight or thirty inches of water when not loaded and had a capacity of sixty five tons. The boat was owned by R. C. Young & Dove brothers and was valued at about $8000. The Salem Iron works had a chattel mortgage on the machinery for $3000 and had it insured for $3000 in the Imperial insurance company, of San Francisco. A NEW KIND OF INSURANCE.

According to the bnlltiuou homicide (issued recently by the United States ceusns office, Oregon is fifty -fourth in the numerical order of states, according to the number of prisoners in each charged with homicide, Oregon and Arizona each having the same number. The popula tion of this State is 313,707; of Arizona, 59, 620. Oregon has 440 prisoners charged with ii . : e i : 1 i t-l .1 L . . . , ,T .. ... .. uted as follows: Native white native par- ,.t, is?- ,.,,',,r.

Of the 440 prisoners, 438 are males. The executions iu the several counties of the state during 1392 are as follows : Coos, 1; Grant, 2; Multnomah, 1; total 4. Of 82,329 prisoners in the Uuited States June 1, 1890, the number charged with homicide was 7,386 or 8 97 per cent. Of that number, 6,953 were men, and 393 were women. As to color, 4425 were white, 2739 negroes, 94 Chi nese, 1 Japauese, and 92 Indians. Wool Wanted. The highest cash price paid for wool at S. L. Kline's. Do You Wish the Finest Bread and Cake ? It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest, most delicious food. The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strong est makes the most digestible and wholesome food. Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble ? Dr. Haines, of Rush Medical College, Consulting Chemist ofthe Chicago Board of Health, says: "Royal is not only the purest, but the strongest baking powder with which I am acquainted."

Concerning the proposed extension of the Lebanon branch of the Southern Pacific railroad to Sweet Home via Waterloo and Sodaville, the Portland Evening Telegram of the 23d says: "The Southern Pacific will soon com mence a survey for the construction of a line from Lebanon, Linn county, to Sweet Home, 20 miles distant. The Southern Pacific now runs to Lebanon, and the proposed extension will open one of the most fertile stretches of country in Oregon. The exact cost of the line is not known yet, but it proqably will not cost over $10, 000 per mile. The residents of the vicinity interested have been urging the company for several years to build this line. Work will probably be commenced early in the fall, and will be crowded to completion this year." Iu relation to the lon talkcd-of ex tension from this city to Junction, it says: "There is strong probability that the Southern Pacific will soon ex tend its road from Corvallis to Junc tion. This matter has been considered for some years, and it is likely that it will not be much longer delayed. The distance is less than 20 miles, and when the connection is made through trains can be run from the West Side to San Francisco." The benefits to be derived from this extension are annarent to all, but the expectations of our people have been aroused so often only to be dashed to the ground that they have lost confi deuce in all rumors relative to this ex tension. A Romance in Real Life. "I'm going to join the army and will be gone three years." Thus wrote a young man to his dear old mother and sisters at home. The boy was under sentence to the state prison when he wrote the letter that he supposed would quiet all inquiry as to his where abouts. He had been found guilty of forgery and the judge in pronouncing sentence upon him gave him three years at hard labor. This was several months ago and the young man is by this time well aquainted with the monot onous routine of life in the Oregon state penitentiary. On Sunday after noon a couple of young ladies, sisters, new arrivals in Salem, visited the prison. They arrived too late to be be admitted to the services, but were given seats in the waiting room. At the first sound of the choir they were interested, but as the music of the song filled the chapel and rasounded throughout the corridors they thought they recognized a familiar sound in a sweet-toned voice that carried the air. They advanced nearer to the chapel impelled by they i knew not what, glanced through I ' barred doors recognized among th the J singer, wearing the stripes, the absent I brother whom they believed was serv ' :., i.. country in the armv. The recognition was mutual. And it was pitiful. The shock was more thau the delicate nerves ot the young women could bear. But it is only one inci dent of the many. The prison is full of the sad romances and expectations that are not realized. Statesman.
