THE EUGENE CITY GUARD. EUUKXB CITY.ORKUON. Tha.FteBill. Tlie lata unlaroentd legislature, un der the plea of retrenchment and re form in count affairs, paxwd a fo bill fj the provisions of which the ofHuca of clerk and sheriff wore made salaried ones, and the few pertaining thereto cut J own on an average of three fourtha The new fee bill lias now been in opcr ation over one month, and the mult obtain must convince tho mot skep tical tliat instead of being a relief to the people it will prove a burden. The Solon who drafted and originated the bill probably had the interests of liti ganta at heart By reference to our local col u limn it will be found that the fees collected in Lane county since, the bill became a law, February 19, and paid into the county treasury, amount to but $90 8a The sheriff and clerk each receive! $125 per month, besides occaaioually a the exigencies demand a deputy must lc paid for. It will read ily be acf-n thut in the short space of one mouth and twelve days the county paid tli one officer $350, and received in return but $90 80, leaving a deficit of $259 20, which must be paid out of the county treasury. And at this rate the county must increase the rate of taxation to provide at least $2,000 with which to pay these offici als; and for whose brneGt must this amount le raised? It is for the lienefit of liti ( ganti, and those having business which requires the services of those officers, The lawyer can now start a case in court, for a mere song, while the dear people are taxed to provide for the de ficiencies that will inevitably occur. We find no fault with salaries allowed clerks and sheriffs; public servants should 1m fairly and honorably treated, but there are crave objections to the fee bill as it now exists. The fees collect ! . .... eu snoum be at least sullictent to pay for the services of the officers engnged. Two years will expire before it will be possible to effect legislative change. Jiy that time the subject can be more equitably treated. tml Bakrr. From Matiui, neur the foot of Mount Hakcr, it Jit b urned that the mountain in in an active suite, and the people in that part of the country are apprehensive that the lava will How in great quantities. A dense volume of smoke is coining from the mountain while hot cinders, ashes, and lava are Wing thrown from its crnter. At night it jxjurs forth streams f fire and rock, which illuminates the ktmosphere for miles and mile.', striking terror to the inhabitant and euu-slnj; the people to le greatly alarmed for their homes and live. As yet the tlmv uf laa is not sufficient to indicate any (lunger. The eruption is said to be a magnificent sight from the Upper Somas, distant about AO mil", and which is admirably located to oWrve this wonderful he- nomenou, as the mountain looms up to the height of 12,000 feet, and is clothed in white half way down its side. Elver Collulin. At 8:15 o'clock last night, says the Standard of Tuesday, while the steam ship Oregon was coming up from As toria to this city, she ran into and sunk tho river steamboat Clatsop Chief and a barge is tow, drowning four men. The particulars of the accident learned on me arrival oi tne uregon tins morning at 12:30 o'clock and given to the press reporters were as follows: The Clatsop Chief, in command of Captain William Williams, and having an empty barge in tow, was going down the river. Just 1 i'tl r - auove mow jsar the urewn was sighted, and Captain Williams headed his boat to pass the steamship on the port side. He had hardly changed his course when the Oregon gavo one whis tle, signaling to the Clatsop Chief to change her course. On the whistle be ing blown Captain Williams 'rung the signal to the engineer below to reverse the engine and back, and while no do ing the Oregon bore directly down, striking the barge with a fearful crush cutting it in two, about midship, then cutting the Chief in two. Jioth veu ! immediately sank. On the two boats there were thirteen men, ninuof whom were saved, the remainder perishing in tho waters. The men who wein lost are, William Ammond, the bos of the scow, John Sonny, a 'deckhand, An drew JCaye, a fireman of the Chief, nnd one other deckhund, whose name could not be learned. Those saved are Capt Williams, of the Clatsop Chief, W. S. Holmes, tho engineer and a Chi naman employed as cook. The names of theother six were not known to Capt Williams. As soon as possible boats ere lowered from the Oregon manned by tho crew tJ save the men rruggling in the water. Several small lats were also put out from the shore by those who had seen the collision, and but for the prompt assistance hardly one of the inim-riled men would have been saved. The Clatsop Chief was owned by Captain F. I). Jones, of this city. Owing to tho late hour the news was received, it was impossible to ob tain fuller particulars of the accident 1 UnrJ I::. !'I had my misgivinge, bow," the waiter said to the landlord, who was questioning him about his conduct tow ard the tall gentlemen in blue clothes who sit at the door, "I had my suspi- cions when he sat down that ho was carrying nioah whisky dan'wnsgood for mi, but puffi kly quiet an' behave him self well enough an I didn't pay no at tention entewlel he picked cj n lake, potato and h!e it nirul.'v over Stop a Moment and Read This-.
