ami attentive audience, after which Santa
Claua deligbted tbe children by giving each
one candv and nuts. The tree waa hand

cilizt-na of Springfield deserve much praise
for their trouble aud expense in order to
innke tbe evening an enjoyable one, which
will long be remembered, especially by the
children.
Before tbe issue of another Gdabd tbe
year 1890 will have been numbered with the
vear that have been. To aome it baa
brought pleasure and to otbera It baa brought
sorrow. Over the country there bai waged
bo calamitiea but it baa given in return nn
told blessings to the toiling million. Our
"Ocean-washed" itate is atill a gem of tbe
Union and will oontiuue to be until time baa
been no more. Humanity haa constantly
marched npward and onward until ita power
is felt ss it acta with wooderfn.1 force fa de
veloping tbe natural resources which nature
bin placed within Ita roach. Iu entering
upon tbe rear Mill we will endeavor to
chronicle the constantly changing events of
the neighborhood. We bid one and all "A
Unify New Year." Rkqolab.
The Uallroad of the Future.
The popular railroad of the future will be
the single mil. elevated, electric. To avoid
the possibility of accident by collision the
elevated line, with two single rails aeemi to
be the only hope. To economize in tbe
ground occupied for track and right of way
tbe elevated siugle truck meets all require,
menta. It can be built for bug than half tbe
cost of theoldatyle, requiring no grading,
ballasting, tie or poles for the electric wires,
and need not be fenoed to avoid killing stock.
Farmer can plow their fields and rai-e cropa
underneath the track. It will be more dur
able, as none of the timbers except the posts
will come in oontaot with the ground, hence
will not decar so soon. The track will be
loss liable to damage from Hoods, snow and
sand. The nmcbiuery for oporatiug and the
cars themselves will be ao improved as to be
less than half the weight of those now in use
and I have no donbt many of ns will see this
kind of railroad operated with safety at a
speed of two miles per minute on long runs.

Our Caadid Advice.

At an early day Uucle Jacob Spores and hia

Loo School Hocbrs. Salem Journal says:
In the great state of Oregon there yet re
mains nin"tj-iix log school bouse. Of this
number Lane county leads, having the small
number of sixteen. Grant county comes
next with ten. Many of the other counties
have from one to four or five. Tbe counties
that have no log school houses are, Curry,
Malheur, Marion, Morrow, Polk, Wallowa
and Yamhill. Some of the counties east of
the mountains could not build log school
houses if tbey so desired, unless they build
them with sage brush. Tbe leading counties
in tbe valley bave gotten beyond such struc
tures for educational purposes.
Tbe reason for tbe large number of log
school booses in Lane county is tbe rapid
settlement of tbe Siuslaw country, where it
was impossible to secure lumber until quite
recently.

A Former lane County Hoy Shot.
The Prineville News has the following
concerning a shooting affray iu Crook ooun
ty reoeully. Lee Amis formerly lived a few
miles west of Eugene, and is a son of Hou.
Jas. F. Amis:
News has come to Prineville that a shoot
ing affray occurred in tbo town of Mitchell,
this county, about miduigbt, or lust after
midnight, at a dance that was held in tbat
burg on Christmas evening. Lee Amis re
ceived a bullet in the groiu, aud Marsh and
Bill McGee did the shooting, the former tir
ing two shots and the latter one. It is said
that the veracity of one or the other parlies
was brought iulo question, which occasioned
a dispute that resulted iu the shooting. We
are not sufficiently euligbteued, iu regard to
tbe particulars to form or express an opinion
concerning the sad ail.iir, but Mrs. Rumor
accuses all bunds interested of being under
the inllueoce of whiskey. How seriously
young Amis is hurt we have not been able to
ascertaiu. Dr. Belknap left yesterday after
noon to atlend the wounded man's injuries,
and Sheriff Boolb also went over to take
charge of the McGee Bros.

Head Cueemb. A number of our people
were taken suddenly ill Saturday and Sun
day from ths effect of eating
bead cheese procured at one of the markets.
t rom tbe symptoms, tne medical proiession
treated tbe patients for poisouing. All of
the patients bave recovered, but each were
severely affected,, It is due to the butchers
to stats tbat the meat waa prepared cleanly
and as usual, and tbey are much perplexed
over tbe cause of tbe sickness of those par
taking. An analysis of tbe meat would have
been made by a chemist, but unlortnnately
all of it bad Leon eaten. A family st Albany
tbia week, who bad eaten bead cheese,
waa similarly affected, and upon an analy
sis it was found that acid vinegar waa the
oanse. One physician informed us that he
believed tbe cases here were due to the fat
oontaiued and impure water drunk. Anoth
er doctor cluimed it was caused by a pecul
iar condition of fermentation in Ibe meat.
However, all agree that it was no fault of
the butchers.

A proposition bas been made to the city to

Ibat proposition would receive the support

feasible oue.
C. W. Washburne informs ns that it is his
intention to plat out new addition of over
