See section 80, page 700, general lawt of Ore gon; section 7, page 15, and section 6, page 61, session laws of 1880, and section 1, page 8, set; sion laws of f8K2, for the various Legislative acts regulating the same. Oregonian. Died. A dispatch from Indianopolis, Ind( announces the death of Mrs Rebecca Clawson, mother of Mrs L G Adair. She started East during the last of September to attend the yearly meeting of Friends, at the city of Richmond, Indiana She hoped to see all of her former friends and acquaintances with whom she had been associated in the ministry, but being in feeble health she was only per mitted to reach the land of her nativity and be gathered to rest with numbers of her children and grand-children gone before her. She had been engaged in the ministry in Oregon so far as her strength would permit, and was for a time President of the W U X U of Portland, Oregon. Tax Levt. The tax levy for Lane County for the year 1883 is sixteen mills, lie cause for the increase it that an extra mill has been added by the Legislature for the common schools. The amount of levy for county pur poses is only 8.4-10 mills. To the Gold Mixes.

Opium "Joint" Raided. .. The Martha! and Nightwatchmao have been on the alert for the past two mouths trying to capture partial in the act of smok ing opium at the Chinese house in this city, but those who partake of the drug iucevta fully escaped the vigilant eyes of the offi cer until last Momlty .muruing. From an account at told to a Guard reporter, w learn that Martha! Attobory about 10 a m of that morning noticed a nymph du pave, who gave her name, at Miss Addie Rogers, who had arrived on the morning train, go to the Chinese home owned by one , Him, and toou thereafter the wat followed by a young man of thit city, whose name we withhold from publication on acoouut of i the respect we have for hit very estimable parents. .The Martha! in a few minutes ttormed the cita del aud caught the two persons in the act of partaking of the drug. He placed the two partite under arrest, aud also the proprietor of the house, a Chinaman who bear the cognomen of Him, and took them before Hit Honor, Judge Waahburue. The nymph du pave plead guilty add wat Rued $10 and cost, and toon after took the afternoon train and departed for th classic thade of Doug las county, Him, the Chiuanao, proprietor of the bouie, was mulcted for the turn of $50 and costs, whioh he paid. Tbe young man gave bail In the sum of $20. W hope the otlicert have effectually broken up thit evil habit in our fair youug city, at it it one of the worst curses that civilized or uncivil ized men are kuow to practice, aud one that after the passion it acquired, it almost im possible to break away from. We are cred itably informed that at least six or teven of our young men are known to tamper with the deadly poison. 'ii i. 1 Cottage Grove Items. rKOM OCR 8PEUIAL CORRESPONDENT.
