Raymond. The house of Wm. Johnson of Coos county, was recently burned together with the entire contents. Chief among thift last was G0O in greenbacks. William Morris, of Highland, has been arrested and now lies in jail await ing examination for disturbing a pub lic meeting at Highland on Christmas eve. S. G. Reed has raised two cows on his farm in Yamhill county, the small er, six years old, weighing 1 GOO pounds and the largest, four year old, weigh ing 270O. Dock and warehouse room in As toria is in demand. Nearly every available space is occupied. Messrs. Drown and Corbett are doubling their warehouse capacity. Matthew Smith, son of James Smith of Washington county, has been ad judged insane and committed to the Asylum. lie has been sheep herding in Eastern Oregon for some time, and is 21 years old. The Benton county teacher's insti tute held an interesting session at Corvullis during the holiday week. About forty-five teachers were present, many of whom participated in the dis cussion of questions brought before the institute. Messrs W. R. Kirk and P. F. Croft are going to start a twenty aero hop jard on a piece of land near Browns ville, formerly owned by Kirk, Croft having bought a half interest in the piece, for which he paid the sum of $500, or $50 per acre. M. II. Miller, formerly employed in the Oregon City pottery, in company with his brothers, is erecting a build ing on the old Lazarus Burns place opposite that city for the manufacture of terra cotta ware; the works will be run by steam. They intend to bring the clay from the vicinity of the farm of G. V. Walling, near Oswego. They have purchased the latest machinery, which with the firo brick is on the way, and expect to have everything in com plete running order by the 1st of next April. Coast Mail: Within the past few days several valuable timber claims in this vicinity have changed hands and negotiations are now pending for still further sales. James I Ferrey last Wednesday transferred to John Kruse for the sum of $5,000, his right and tide to the timber on a quarter section of land, Kruse has twelve years in which to remove the timber, and at the expiration of that time the land, tramways, ditches and other im provements will revert to Ferrey. A. O. Aiken sold to Kruse for $4,500 the timber on 280 acres of land located on the same section, and James Aiken has leased to Kruse his place and the right of way through it for 13 years, $500 per annum. D. L Watson has transferred to A. Lobree, for $4,500 his interest in between 700 and 800 acres of timber land on Isthmus slough. These changes indicate prep arations for an active logging business in the interest of the purchasing par ties. A young printer wishing to make an overwhelming speech to his pros pective father-in-law, broke out in these words: I now ask you to trans plant this lovely flower from its par ent bed" but his feelings overcame him He forgot the remainder of his speech; flourished, blushed, and finally wound up witlj ''from its parent bed into my own." The father keenly rel ished the discomfiture of the suitor, and replied: Well, young man, I don't know as I have any objections, pro vided you marry her Gratv" Spokan Bailroad Diiasttr. A fearful disaster occurred at Spo kan Saturday Deo 24, upon the North ern Pacifio Railroad. Two trains, wood and freight, as we understand, met at the usual speed, or without suf ficient warning, making a complete wreck of engines, cars, cto., killing Nicholas Metcalf, fireman of engine No. 25, and conductor Albert Kitchen. Engineer Ellis of engine No 18, had his band seriously injured, Fireman James Sproul was scalded and bruised. Wednesday tho wreck of those demol ished trains was brought into town. Three box cars and one passenger car were badly broken up, A corener's jury hold Tuesday 28th, found con ductor Joseph Ellis, of engine 18,guilty of criminal negligence which caused the disaster. The public are deeply interested to know tho detailed facta. Room for a new track has been cleared to the right of the wreck of the two engines on Hangman creek and the rails relaid to allow passage of trains. The engines were literally de molished. They are the most "power ful machines and can be ill spared from active work. We do not doubt that extreme care is taken by the Railway Managers for the safety of life and property of the public, and we hope full particulars of the responsibility of the sad accident will be placed before thera. Mountaineer. The Boom Increasing. The price of property at the north ern end, says the Tortland Stand ard is still advancing. In fact, it seems as if there was no price set on it until an offer is made, and then pres to, up it goes, twenty or fifty per cent, in advance of what is offered. A block near the one sold by Messrs J. Boyd and W. W. Spaulding for $6,000. They have lately boon offered $26,000 for it, but demand $30,000. The north ern half of the donation claim of Peter Guild and wife, including all the tide and overflowed lands along or on the western shore, or sido of the Wil lamette within its bounds, has been purchased by Mr. P. L Willis, for the sum of of $40,000, from Mrs. Elizabeth Guild, and a tract adjoining, contain ing 20.35 acres, belonging to George and Dora Guild, has also been pur chased by the same party for $2,000. An advance of $20,000 has been al ready offered the fortunate investor. The whole Guild tract, which includes, in addition to the above parcels, some 87 acres, was only assessed for a value of $3,700 at the Inst assessment. k Stalwart Revet. Colonel McClure of the Philadel phia Times, who has been spending some time at the National Capital "There is now a stalwart revel in Washington. The men who lisped tho praises of Garfield when he came into power, and the men who spoke of his suffering and probable death with tremulous voice, are not heard in the hotels, nor in the streets, nor in tne Departments. His sun has set and, the fitful worshipers of the Capitol who have praise for every present ruler, and contempt for every ruler of the past, now speak of Arthur as the savior of the party the statesman of the age the candidate of 1884." Yamhill's Solid Me.v. There are 139 persons and firms in Yamhill county paying taxes of $100 and over. Hon. J. C. Braly is the heaviest resi dent taxpayer, his share being $970 50. Tho O. i C. II. R. pays $2,555, and S. G. Reed follows in the list, paying $1,011 25. O. P. R. R. Notes. Three engin eering parties will commence surveying from Albany eastward within the next ten days. Seventy miles of steel rails, 1,000 tons of fish-plates, bolts, tc, and six 36-ton railroad engines are now in San Francisco, awaiting shipment to Yaquina Bay. The revenue raised from the single article of tobacco alone, which this year is estimated at $45,000,000, would more than have paid the entire annual expense of the Government for any year prior to 1851.

He closes' his letter as follows: "At the rate of killing now going oa, their number mimf. 1.A fliminiurtiniv vara faat 'I'b extraordinary price of peltry and the' success of such hunters as the Martin brothers stimulating many to hunt for the gain. In the district of which . Camp Polk is the northwest corner, a square of eighteen miles each way har within it thirty-six hunters at this date, that is a hunter for every nine" square miles. On account of the fact that the game mostly seek (he warmestr and best sheltered portion of the diB-' trict, the actual ground hunted cpon t reduced to less than half of that area' to each hunter. The hunters follow the general movement of the game;: shooting begins with daylight and is continued through the day, much of tho firing being at long range with the game running. As a consequence, much ammunition is thrown away. It is severe labor to hunt on foot in this sage and juniper country, and though these thirty-six hunters may average' one deer each daily, perhaps, one-third of them will get two each, leaving a1 like proportion to get nothing. The general practice is to drive out to some' spot on the. desert where a supply of water for camp use can be secured. Some regular hunters use a tent, but generally a slight temporary shelter of juniper boughs is constructed, from' which shooting commences, and to' which the game is brought on horse-' back, after being drawn where killed. -From camp it is hauled by wagon to the homestead of the hunter, where ar I have said before, it is dressed, cut up' and cured. It is a unique sight to see' the dwelling house of a settler and all' his outhouses and barns clothed, so to' speak, with deer skins stretched out' to' dry, but that is a frequent sight in this' vicinity, and around many of the home-' steads here, the pine trees are used for' the same purpose, each good sized tree' having two skins nailed upon its face.1'' Tne Canadian1 Pacific. Andrew Onderdonk, to whom thV contract for building the western end1 of the Pacifio transcontintinal railroad1 was awarded, is now in San Francisco. The length of road required to bebuilf under the contract is 125 miles.'- The' route offers very serious obstacles; itt so far as speed of progress is coricerned,- on account of the high precipices which1 have to be crossed, and the general' rocky nature of the country, requiring for the greater portion to be shelved' and galloried. About 60 miles of the line have been graded and at least 201 milos ironed. The cost of construct-" ing a mile is $150,000. The force of white laborers at present employed in' the works numbers about 1500 men, with a like number of ChinaMen.- This will be increased in the spring- to 10,-' 000 men. The whites receive two do!-' lars a day, the Chinese half' that) amount Along the road store haver teon opened where the provisions and clothing needed by the laborers can ber obtained. Boarding houses have also been opened, at which whites an)' charged $16 a month and Chinese $10. The explosives are manufactured at the scene of operation, all other supplies being received from 'Frisco, England or Canada. The contract price for building the section of the road for hich Mr. Onderdonk is the contractor is $10,000,000. He expects to com plete the contract in about three years.- The rood, though originally inaugu rated by the dominion government has been recently turned over to the syndicate. The entire distance is 4,500 miles, and the road when completed, will be the longest unbroken1 line in the world. It will be completed it 1890, at a cost of sixty million dollars. An effort will then be made to control the Oriental trade, and with this eadf in view a line of steamers will be plaoed on the Pacific, with the probabil ity f another to Australia.-
