: such excellence that it is surprising even
to residents of our own state who have

OREGON PACIFIC CLAIMS.
According to notice previously given
Referee A. C. Woodcock, recently ap
pointed to pass upon claims in the Oregon
Pacific matter, convened his court Mon
day afternoon at the court house. Several
claimants were present and asked for
further time in which to file claims and
to accommodate such an extension was
given until Monday next at 2 o'clock p,
m. Duriuir the interim claims can be
filed with the referee's stenographer, M.
O. Wilkins, at - the court house. Re
ceiver T. E. Hogg has filed his report.
It is a volumuous statement and shows
an indebtedness incurred under his td
miuistratiou, from October 29, 185c, to
March 5, 1S93, of 51,058,833.5a Of tb:s
sum J127.841.44 is due 011 pay rolU, tin e
checks, etc., $63,402-39 on vouchers and
other accounts and $868,589.67 on out
standing receiver's certificates, loans.etc.
Receiver E. W. Hadley filed a state
ment of labor and material claims, which
accrued under his receivership, amount
ing to J64.983.28, and for further iufir
matiou regarding his stewardship refer
ence is had to his final report as receiver,
which was filed Jan. 24, 1894. During
the Hadley administration $40,000 tf
receiver's certificates were disposed of
and the money derived from their sale
was exhausted in paying a 46 per cent,
dividend on labor claims that accrued
under the Hogg regime. $15,100 in
receiver's certificates were also issued by
Mr. Hadley to pay for insurance placed
upon the property soon after he assumed
control.
All told the claims thus far filed aggre
gate about $1,300,000 and includes $47,
021.S2 for taxes as follows: Benton
county, $19,466.63; Lincolu county, $20,
554. 12; Marion county, $7,040.97. !
As the matter stands the figures appear j
to pan out now, before the referee lakes
hold and hears argument , about as follow. :
The:e is the purchase money of $100,000
to deal with. The former referee, J. W.
Whalley, has had $4,000. The present
referee's salary, $1,000, and actual cobts
of sheriff. $1,565, together with other
necessary expenses, say $1,435, to bring
even figures, makes a total of $8,ooo, re
ducing the $100,000 to $92,006.
First the sums improperly drawn
against the $25,000 paid in by Col. Hogg
on the Job purchase, which deposit was a
court trust fund, must be credited back.
The total of such sums is $'6,000, leaving
$86,000 to be disbursed.
Then there are the claims of Wm. V.
Hoag and Wallis Nash for sei vices
amounting to $6,763.50, upon which is.
due 46 percent, to make them even with
the other employes under the court's or
ders. The amount of such dividend
would be $3,111.16, leaving only $S2,
838 84.
Then claims to rank in preference on
this find are about as follows: Receivei's
remuneration, $21,000; labor and ma
terial claims, $198,000; lawyers costs,
$63,500; taxes, $60,000; rents unpaid,
f 6,000; total, $348,500.
This is exclusive of receiver's certif -
cates issued in the neighborhool of
of $800,000 by Receiver Hogg, and cer
tificates issued by Receiver HailHy
claiming to be a first and prior charge f
which 40,000 was to pay 46 per cent to
the employes and $15, 100 for insurance.
If the taxes and the law costs come iu
first there will be nothing for anyone
else. If the certificates come in to claim
ahead of the labor and material creditors
there will be nothing for anyone. If
claims are all thrown together the divi-
dendwill h,t .r vt Tf
-r . .1 t. 1 .1 t .
certificates are put in behind the labor
and material claims and the costs and
receivers remuneration and expenses
there may be 20 per cent, for the labor
and material creditors. These figures,
of course, are only approximately cor
rect .
It is evident that to discuss whether
850,000 of certificates should be reduced
by $40,000, or even $100,000 is "love's
labor lost" Nothing can be gained by
any such discussion.

Proposed Athletic Association.

of a local athletic club
ii in prospect,
with chances favorable to its
8Ueesa.
A called meeting of those interest
ed in the project was held Tuesday sight at
the Marine band hall, some twenty-five
prominent citizens beiag present. A com.
mittte, coasUting of Robert Johnson, Dr.
Lester and Fred Oberer, was appointed and
instructed to draw np plant for a permanent

THE TEUE TEACHER.
Not long ago there came a man nearly
three score years of age to the college asking
admission for one of his pupils who at that
time resided at Florence, in Lane county.
Upon examination the boy was found
worthy and well qualified and was duly ad
mitted. After all necessary arrangements
were made for the bov. that faithful teacher,
with cane in one hand and satchel in the
other, started to Albany afoot in order that
he might catch the train he desired. All
this for a student. If more teachers were so
interested in their pupils, people would com
plain less of the public school machinery.
Many of the greatest men whose footsteps
have graced . this earth have owed the'r
greatness to just such teachers as Prof. Mai
tin, the man who prepared James Colmir
for the Oregon Agricultural college.

night the city council met
with Mayor Kelsay in the chair and all
members present
The fire and water committee asked
and were granted further time in whith
to report upon the petitions of the fire
compauies filed some months agoaskirg
for allowances from the city's exchequt r
to assist them iu paying the necessary
expenses of their organizations. . :. .- .
The finance committee made a veibal
report to the effect that no agreement
had yet been arrived at regarding the re

" " " -", ,
Samuels and Lee was appointed to draft
suitable resolutions in memory of W. T.
Feet, recently deceased.
Next iu oler came . the election of
couuciluien to fiil the vacancies caused
by the death of W. T. Peet and the re
moval to the country of Win. Crees. A
motion was offered to allow Councilman
Greffoz the privilege of placing in nomi
nation the candidates, as both vacancies
occurred in his ward, but he declined to
resume the responsibility. T. Samuels
presented the name of J. H. Stewart,
who was elected by acclamation. This,
it seems, was a part of the program
agreed upon by the different members of
the council at a conference held earlier
iu the eveuing, which was disclosed by
Dr. Lee, who made a vigorous speech in
support of W. H. Hartless, who he
claimed was the regular caucus nominee.
His remarks were directed particularly
tj Councilman Flett, who bolted the
caucus nominee by offering the name of
Frank James after the name of Mr.
Hartless had been proposed. Lee asked
if James was a real or fictitious charac
ter. Someone else wanted to know
"who is James," and Flett retorted by
saying "who is Hartless." Upon the
ballot being spread Mr. Hartless was de
clared elected, he having received five
votes of the seven, the other two being
cast for James.
The fire and water committee were in
structed to meet the water company and
see if some amicable agreement could
nt be arranged whereby the city could
secure additional water service. The
committee was instructed to report the
result of the conference at the next regu
!
lar meeting.
A matter of importance to thy. city and
one which seamed to meet with favor
among the councilmen was a proposition
from the electric light company. Police
Judge Porter, who is manager of the
company, stated, in effect, that his peo
ple were talking some of increasing their
facilities for lighting and that if the city
chose '.o take advantage of the offer soon
he would make a liberal reduction from
the present rates. Under the existing
contract, which will not expire until
1903, the city pays $3 per month for
e-ich 25-candle power light Of these j
there are 32, which together with a small
lanip iu tUe city hall, costing $2 j er '
month, wakes a total monthly expei.dl
ture for lights of $98. Now the company !
nrn, a rn-tinn of ' n - M,i. Mr !
propose a reduction ot 50 cents per
mouth ion each incandescent light aud
aree also to furnish arc lights should
1 they be desired. The latter will cost" $10
each per month, or the. same as four in-
Icaudescents, but an arc lamp will fur-
1 . ' 77,. 7
uisu a .,umj-i:Hiiujc puwer iiune, wniie
four of the smaller ones will only give
100-power. In order to take advantage
of this liberal offer, however, it is neces
sary for the city to increase its monthly
allowance for lights in the sum of $22,
thus making the total monthly expeuse
for this purpose $120 instead of $98 as at
present By a glance at the company's
proposition it is seen that while the ex
peuse is increased 21 per cent there is
to be an increase of 50 per cent in the
amount of light furnished,- or, in other
words, the city-will be furnished with 48
lights for $120 per mouth instead of 32
lights for $98 as at present I . A
From Mr. Porter it was lear' .d that
the light company's present olant is
taxed to its fullest capacity and that the
advisability is . being considered of
putting in a new and much larger dyna
mo. As these contemplated improve
ments will require considerable of an
additional investment " the company
wants to get its franchise extended.
Should the council act favorably on the
matter work will at once begin on the
plant with a view to completing the im
provements before the first of December.
Meantime the wires will be extended to
portions of the city now without lights
in order that citizens living west of the
O. P. track may have the benefit of the
sixteen additional lamps that will be
furnished under the new contract
Messrs. Lee, Greffoz and Smith were
appointed a special committee to take
the matter in charge and formulate an
ordinance in accordance with the plans
above set out They are to report next
Monday night, to which date the council
adjourned.

An interesting came of football was
played here last Saturday. The game
resulted in a score of 16 to 4 in favor of

A game of football will be played be
tween the O. A. C. team and the Uni

NEW TEAM VS. THE VETS.
The football season is beginning to show
Mgr.s of life out at the college. Last Satur
day a Gazette representative sawr eleven
macular, fleet-footed young giants line up
agiiinst eleven no lets sturdy and determined
antagonists upon the gridiron Held of the O.
A. C; and, although it was not much more
than a practice game, each flayer worked
just as energetically and seemed just as intent
on "Join up" his opionenU, as though the
Sanson's chnniiiiimsliiu deluded upon the
outcome of the game. To be sure, the play
was not "fast and furious," for the day was
warm and the players soft, but for all that,
there was some excellent individual work.
And right there is the rub; the weak pluce
i.i the work of our team. This tendency or
desire to perform a "star part,' or play to
the galleries, seems to have laid hold of too
nnny of our local devotees of the spheroid.
Team work is the thing. United irtid con
certed actoin is the acme of good football.
The individual players should Le as parts of
a machine. . .
There appears to be little change in the
rules from those of la.-t season. Some of the
roughr and niorebiutnl plays have been
KflaJ climi.mM, hut this does not de-
traCt fTOm eXcilemBnti for with iU more
open play the ball does not sty in ol part
of the field for any length of time, and a
muff of one of the numerous kicks may
entirely change the aspect of the game.
The game was called at 2:30, with the
"Vets" defending the east goal. The "N. w
Team" made the kick-off, fltld sent the ball
well down the field; but they Wcfft no match
for the "Vets," nnd inside of five minut8
those old chaps had secured a touch-down
and goal. Another touch-down was added
to their score before time was called for the
endof the first 20-uiimite half. Luck seem
to change with the change f goal, for the
"New Team" a touch-down in ten minute.
after the opening of hostilities in the second
half. The advantage whs only tt mporary,
however, for the "Vets" pulled themselves
together and scored another six points be

COTJITTY COURT.
The regular October term of the county
court for Benton county met Wednesday
last and continued in session until Thursday
noon at which time the following proceed
ings were had. It appearing that John
Rickard had refused to pay the road lax
duly assessed against him, J. H. Wilson,
deputy prosecuting attorney, was instruct d
t take such legal steps as might be ncces
s iry to enforce the payment of said tax.
A petition was filed by Eugene Palmer,
Win. Abraham and A. E. Pernot showing

that it was imossible to accurately de
termine what lauds were properly entitled

was made establishing new boundaries as in
petitioners' petition praved for.
It accordance with a previous order of the
court Sheriff D. A. Osburn presented hTs
additional bond as tax collector with Sol
King, John Smith John M. Osburn, T.
W. B. Smith and Thomas Whitehorn as
sureties, which bond was approved. -
Tho application of the O. A C. R. R. for a
reduction of taxes for the year 184 amount

pearing that the company was entitled to

rected to credit the company in the said
sum of $18.35 upon the tax roll for 1894.
In the matter of taxes due Benton county
from tho Oregon Pacific Railroad company
it was ordered that J. H. Wilson be ap
pointed to prepare a petition of the county's
demand to be filed with Referee Woodcock

DIG U Eli HILL DESCRIBED.
Queer Experiences and- Obser
vations of a Traveler.
Dvar Gaxclle: I send you a few observa
tions 011 a hunting and tithing trip through
the A 1 a.-. As it teems best to mention
prominent things first I will commence with
Digger hill.
"Who has not heard of Digger hill,
V inch Al.eaus cross on their way to mill;
Thuic wild lni.-haps would volumes lilt -
Though retold here so bluntly.
The people referred to in the lines above
are civilized and many of them can justly
lay claim to a lair di-grre of culture. .They
have intermarried f.oui time to time with
the pi'ople living across the great mountains
to I he south and east until they appear to
possess but iew of their ancient characteris
tics. . Their isolalad situutiou, however, to
gether with the uutbrlunate circumstance of
the county having built a road tor them to
travel, over one of the highest mountains in
North Aiuericii, where they are daily sub
jected to loss or bereavement, must rmder
them for all time distinct in some features of
development. j-
The old settlers, and, indeed, the heads of
families generally, betray an unusual degree
of care and anxiety, frequently while in con
versation pausing to lUten or cast their eyes
in the direction of Digger Hill, while the
younger generation have acquired and con
stantly exhibit a kind of dare-devil ex
pression not met with elsewhere, and which
can be explained only by the fact that their
homes are situated in the immediate vicinity
01 Digger Hill. Why sueh a mountain
should be called a hill 1 am unable to ex
plain. It seems to be a promontory ascen
ding from the top of Mary's Peak a distance
of about ten miles into the sea of mountain
peaks to the southwest, cutting the Alsea
valley in twain and laying heavy tribute on
all intecrourse between the sections. Its
exact height is unknown, but from the effect
upon my breathing apparatus (the only
barometrical instrument at hand) while
crossing the summit, 1 should judge it to be
about ltf.OUO feet above the line of the Upper
Alsea valley. The atmosphere even at this
elevation is slightly bracing and after a few
hours' rest I found myself partially restored
from the fatigue and shocks incident to the
ascent, and might even have felt comfortable
had it not been for an intense desire to get
down. This feeling seems to be a natural
one aud I believe is generally felt by those
who find themselves occupying a position
much above the surrounding country. How
ever much we may drsire to soar mentally
we usually keep the physical man if possible
on a solid foundation.
My way up to the summit was made with
out accident as I was lucky enough not to
meet anyone. Should I have done so it is
impossible to tell what the result v"uid have
been. There was no possibility of passing
anyone and a desperate encounter tor right
of way, in which the fittest would have sur
vived, would have followed,
I notic-id at several places the trees below
were nearly denuded of brunches and saw
sticking to the sCubs of those which were
broken otf such articles s wool, hair, nius
lin, flaiu-l and calico. These I learned after
ward were the only discovered remains of
horses, dogs, she.-p, men, women and child
reii that had mady misstep and fallen into
space below. Buz.ui'uV Were sailing Around
and sometimes alighted to pick at these
fragments ici't iu the trees. This may sound
very common place to an Alsea reader who
haslxen familiar with the-e things from
childhood, biU I declare it made ine ner
y is, ldisiuvuDlvd aud Jed my horse as
close as possible to the upper L. iili, holding
my rifle ready for instant use in ca.-e i should
modi anyone, and fully determined to fight
tor the right to stay on the upper side of the
r ad. On the down grade 1 was less for lull
ate. I met the mail carrier, 1 knew his
claim to right of way was backed by the
United Stales, but dire necessity knows no
law, besides gravitation was operating in my
favor and I had a gun.
1 introduced myself to him by cocking
my gun and telling him to get out of my
way. He was neither frightened nor sur
prised, but with a gentle smile told me not
to shoot, that he believed wis could both be
saved. He then took his horse by the tail
and led him backwards down the hill about
three-quarters of a mile to where he had pre
pared a place for such au emergency by
diggi-'g into the bank where the road crossed
a canyon.. Into this little bole his horse was
takeu and I passed in safety. The horse
did not seem wearied by going backward so
fir and was undoubtedly well trained. As
for his master, he was the most thoroughly
obliging man I ever mot. . , He toi-i me hvj
had a scheme in view by which fata! acci
dents on the hill could be reduced to a mini
mum. It whs to put a telephone wire across
so anyone could give notice when they were
abmt to start and thus keep the road clear.
He said it was au easy matter to train horses
so they could be led backwards, his method
being to take the horse onto a steep hill,
then by gently pulling his tail cause him to
stip back until he acquired tn-.- habitof walk
ing in this manner. Indued, he said it was
not unusual to see horses that hud been so
trained walking backwards instead of for
wards while feeding on the hills.
He informed me that for several years
past but few of the settlers had tallen over,
such accidents being confined to insurance
agents, photographers and pe I Hers who,
being strangers, ventured or. the hill with
untrained horses. After careful study ot
the whole situation 1 believe a sure-footed
person may cross the hill in reasonable
suf.-ty if they go on foot and keep close to the
upper side of the grade. During the winter
months I would advise that brads Iw driven
into the fles of shoes ot travelers to pre
vent slipping. Occasional.
