Applegate, who has turned over tbe affairs at Klamath Agency to D. W. Matthews, tbe new (gent, arrived in Ashland last Tuesday with bis family, having come over tbe mouutniu road by stagecoach. The general was warmly greeted by bis many friends in town, aud was soon in the midst of a group, Miswering questions about bis experience with the Indians of Klamath sod tbe barbarians at Washington. Tbe general says he bad tbe Indian department whipped and carried its scalp at bis belt where it belonged, but that Bishop Newman and tbe M. E. conference at Orant's Pass knocked him out with their resolutions, the text of which has not been made public. The general takes bis offioial nps and downs very philosophically, and tukes a deal of sat isfaction in giving bis opiuion of the Indian department, which be says is so tangled up in red tape and technicalities that it is at least a hundred years behind the land de partment of the government.

The e litor of the Prineville News bas some queer ideas as to the duties of a coroner. Lee Amis was recently shot to death in Crook county, and the aforesaaid editor kicked because the coroner, as was bis offi cial duty, held tbe necessary inquest provid ed by law. In that county tbey occasionally bang men without jndicial assistance, and we snpposb tbe editor thinks tbe coroner's inquiry, into what appears to be a brutal murder, a trivial affair that could have been easily dispensed with. New Chohs Walks Nwdxd. The substan tial cross walk bnilt across Eightbstreel at the Masonio Hall is a reminder that tbe cross walks at tbe alleys between Seventh and Ninth streets on Willamette street should be replaced by walks at leaat six feet wide. At present tbe walks are bnt three feet wide, and are covered with mud during th winter with a foot path so narrow that per sons meeting cannot pass witbont one or tbe other stepping in tbe mud. Wide walks would be less obstruction to teams than the present hog back walks that are a perpetual menace to spring vehicles.

According to the present schedule tbe mail leaves Eugen at 7 a. m. on Mondays snd ought to arrive at I lorenoe on Tuesday at 1:30 p. m. This Is only a matter of 30 hours. But' it never arrives here before three or four o'clock in tbe afternoon, be- oause it lays over one night on the road. If It wore figured up accurately, tbe time oc cupied in actual travel is but oighleen aud one ball hours. The proposition which will be urged by the people here is that the mail leave Seaton at 6 JO p. m. and arrive at Florence U p. m. the same day. This Is thirteen hour run ning time by stage and and two and one-half hour by boat, fifteen and one-hours all told. Advertising: Truth..
