DROWNED. Mr. John Waters, of Harrisburg Meet hit Fat in a Watery Grave. From Sheriff Campbell, who was at Har risburg Monday, we loarn the following par ticulars of the drowning of John F Waters in the Willamette river at that place last Saturday afternoon! It appears that a num ber of men were floatiog down on the saw log that have recently been boomed for Hiram Smith' new saw mill. Water w riding a log when it began to roll throwing him into the river. He was unable to wim and began struggling in he water, when Mr Hiram Smith approached him lying length wise on a log. He extended hit hand to Waters which he grasped firmly, aud about the same time caught Mr Smith by the back of the ccat with hi other hand, pulling him off the log head foremost into the river. They both sank and for a period of nearly a minute were under the water, going to the bottom, which is 20 feet deep at that place by actual measurement, during which time Waters got several new holds on Mr Smith, that gentleman being able each time to re lease himself. They came to the surface to gether, Water clutching Mr Smith by the throat, By a powerful effort he released himself and was caught by the foot while iwimming off, but managed to kick loose and barely had strength enough to swim out, while Water tank in the river. Hi body was recovered a short time after but life was extinct. Mr Waters was a young man abeut 28 years of age and of consider able promise, and his untimely death causes much sorrow near Harrisburg. Mr Fmith deserves great oredit for his efforts to tave the life of a fellnw beuig at the risk of his own. He would undoubtedly have bein suc cessful hail not Waters lost all reason iu his fright.

Mr Lewis Kog'S was calmly walking tho streets of S ile:n U t M unlay, cujnyin; that liberty whHi ho had b-'eu deprived of for a year and a half by being incarcerated in the penitentiary for a little "indiscretion" on his part, in appropriating some other mail's goods aud chatties to his o.vn use. and thinking of tho iuexpretaib'e happiness he should enjoy when roaming at large, in huniin; up a stray cayuse and riding it over hill and dale, when he suddenly met the siuiliu, face of Deputy Sberi f Johnson. Tt was nothing unusual for the deputy to wreathe his co mteuante in the most bewitching smiles, nor was it unusual for a pedestrian to meet him face to face upon the public highway; but it was very unfortunate for Mr Doggs to thus Blride against his deputy ship, for secure iu his pocket book he had a warrant of arrest for Mr 11 iItmu Wasco coun ty, charging him with the larceny of Mr Ko.id's hors-js. IU reluctantly bade a lieu to the exhilarating scenes of the capitJ, sighed 'or the lost pleasure of the State Fair, and ac companied Mr Johnson to The Dalle, where he is again iucarceraUid in a prison cell. He may regret the green fields of Marion county, and the rythmic music of the ever-playful Willamette, but if he is proved guilty of the charge, he will have further time to reBcct upon pri.on life ami the waited hours spent in side a felon's c'L Dalles Mountaineer. AsoTHiCil Show. A troue of traveling min strels au lounco tl ;y will play iu this city this evening. A troupe wa here in April lant, under about the sam i in inagement, which re ceived the following notice from the Guard: "The perforinancs given at the hall last Wed nesday evening was attended by a fa'r audi ence. The performance ws O'-e of the worst ever witnessed in th's city, there bardly being a worthy performer in tbe motley crowd. W e would inform the manures of such oouihi na tions that Eugene is a town whose people ''her- ally patronize good shows, and they do not pro pose to be bilked more than once by sJd man agers. KBrRiMA.NDED.-W A Luse aud W E Moore distuibed the peace aud digoity of the Circnit Court al F.nipire City last Moo- day morning to a decree that led to their Test and incarceration until Tuesday morn- inz. when they were s'-wd up iu open court and treated to a merited rebuke from Judge Beau for tlitir unbecoming conduct on the previous day, aud then they were discharged. Their offense consisted of boisterous Ian- auajie, and such conduct as too often follows an over indulgence iu inferior whisky. Jewish New Year. Next Tuesday, the 2d day of October, will be Rosh Hsshonah according to the Hebrewcalendai,New Year. Tbe holiday will be observed by tbe Israel ite of this city, aod their (tores will remain closed the entire day. This holiday i ob served by tbem ail over the world. Hop. We clip th fullowicg article relative to hop from th Willamette Farmer, pub lished at Portland: There is much interest centering on th probable price of hop. Last year we had uch a strong market as is rarely experienced and fabulous result were attained by th producer. Th result was many ventured into the business and those who had field enlarged them fifty ptr cent. Th result is we can aafely count this year on twice th acreage of last. While acreage ha increased we do not see any increase in th total ouU put, the reason being that it take two year for a yard to come into bearing. The list of hop grower in the Willamette Valley i too lengthy to publish, so we approximate the coming crop in counties, a followti Counties. No. Yard. Marion' .....30 I'olk M t'l.ickain.if ,, ... .11 Yamhill 3 Hoiitou Linn A Laue -47 Total .102 Thcsu yards will aver;j about eight aoret, or a total of 8C) acres, the average yield being from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per acre or about 1,000,000 pounds. The prospect are that the market will stand, when opened, fully 2jc per pound. So our reader can tee that the hop luduttry alone will bring into our midst a quarter of a million dollar. Regarding the present outlook for price in Portland we would say that there is.litcrally speaking, no market, because the uow crop is not yet coming to hand The new crop it being prepared for market and reports are not favorable for large yields, and not over 1,000 pounds per acre will be the result There is a bear movement (a the east and much talk is had regarding low prices. Sam ples received by leading commission men show the quality to be A No 1, although the average yield will be a little less. The con tinued dry spoil hail its bid effect en th market The prospects are that the foreign and eastern production will be short, caused by lice and honey-dew. A prominent dealer here expressed bis belief that hops would bear a good price, ami said that he looked for them to go op to 35 or 40 cent per pound. He has a lot of last year's crip no hand, which he holds at a better price than 20 cents. The market will open at about 202.c. So taking the whole question into consideration, we are led to believe that hop will liear a good price this fall. Summary of Assessment.

A man, whose name we did learn, came into town Sunday uight in quest of a physician. He reported that two men, in an attempt to scale one of the numerous rocky peak of the Cascado , had received serious, if not fatal injuries. One ha 1 fallen from a precipice, and th1 other was badly crushed by a falling rock. The company he said consisted ot three men, one being unhurt; As three men started recent ly from this place on a pleasure tour in the mountains, soino fears were entertained that they are the parties hurt or killed. The meis. nger coild not give the mines of the parties injured. As Dr Sites was somewhere on the road bntween this place and the mountains at the time the report came in, aed has not yet returned, it is supposed that he visited the scene of the accident. . The above rumor was set on Monday. Since then we have learned that tho men Le long to a geogulogical surveying pvty. We are yet unable to give names, and do, nor know whence they Came. Both men are seriously hurt, but may recover. The acci dent occurred near the McKouzie wagon mad. Prineville News of Sept 20th. LANE COUNTY FAIR. To be held at Cottage Grove October 24th and 25th.
