Women In the Conference, ) Return from 3C8 districts of the Mdbo dint Episoopsl church, of the vote on the question of changing the constitution ao as to admit women at represeutatize to the general conference, have been received at the Methodiit Book Conoern. The total vote of these 3C8 districts is 314,002, of whioh 180,928 wsre oast in favor and 117,674 against the proposed amend ment, showing a majority to date of 79,251. The districts heard from comprise about three-fifths of the districts in the United States. General J. H. Turner received a letter from Governor Fennoytr's private secretary this morning, saying that the governor hnd instructed the secretary of state to make a remission of $750 eaoh in the fines of George R. Higgs and William Bayers, the pugilists oonflued in ths county jail. This leaves the fines $250, and as the boys have served out 123 days, (bey hsve two days yet to serve behind the bars unless the remainder of the fine Is paid by friends, which probably Will be done. Higgs and Sayers have paid dear, ly for their little "sparring matoh" one bright Sunday morning np the river. Pen dleton Oregon ion, January 15. The moral and religious element in New. berg inrpan any oily of Its size In the Wil lamette valley. On Sunday last services were beld in churohes all of which were well attended, especially the Quakers and Pres byterians, whose plaoos of worship were full, almost to overflowing. Tour correspondent visited each place of meeting, and found in the aggregate over six hundred people in at tendance at the four churches, all told. If any other town of 800 population in this state oan furnish 000 people in churohes at the same hour any Sabbath in the year, we would like to hear from it. Mr. Bboup, the senator from Idaho who ha drawn the long term, was at one time a resident of Clackamas oonnty, say the Ore gon City Courier. He came here in 1873 with a head well filled with education and a surplus of energy, but penniless. He secur ed a school in Beaver creek, and his clothes being shsbby, a kind-hearted farmer, since gone to bis long borne, went Mr. Ehoup's security for a new suit. Subsequently he also taught ibe Canemah school. He proved himself to be a gentlemen in every respeot. Dalles Cbroniole, Jan. 17: Up to date no ice has been put np in Eastern Oregon and in fact none of any consequence formed. Hood River has about 4,000 tons left over from last winter's pack and oan snap ber fingers at the weather clerk. Iher is plen ty of tim yet, and It i possible the hsrvest In February may be abundant. The Taquina Post says the Indians at Si letz Agency have subscribed over $500 (or a new M. E. church to be erected there. About all the timber are ont both for a church and a parsonage for the preacher, and both edifice will be erected ere long. Who will get the credit of (his good work? The Southern Peoiflo company baa order ed all empbyes holding positions of trust to furnish bonds through the Pscifio Surety Company, of San Francisco, whloh has for several years insursd Ibe employes of Wells Fargo & Company's Express sod of lbs Pa cifio Steamship Company. The rat of premium Is per cent. Harney Items: The wiutir of 1887-88 mad a terrible thinning in ths ranks of the jack rabbit army in this county, and the cold weather of last February killed many o( them, but they are now about as plentiful as ever. They make very good chicken pie in the absence of everything else. Last year we sold abroad $225,000,000 of bread and meat and 1100,000,000 in cotton, a practical illustration of the truth of Senator Wolcott's remark thai Ihia is not a good time to disorganize the South. All of the white section hands on the U. P. line bsv been 6red and Mongolians pnt in their stead. More of Jsy Gould's economy. A Proposed Assessment Law. Mr. Jennings of Lane Introduced the (lis bill In the houM. It relates to the assessmtn law, and as there Is considerable Interest i the assessment question, we publish a cum mary of the bill: It abolishes tlie office of county sssesio on and after January 1st, 1893, and pro vldes for su ansosiior to be elucted In each precinct, who shall have same qualifications as for justice of the peooe, shall give a bono? of $1,000, receive $3 per day for time em ployed and shall hold office two years. They shall assess property at its aotua value, the valu and ownership to be deter kilned from the 1st of January each year at 6 a. m. True cash vslue is to mean val ue at au ordinary sale and not a forced or auotion sale. The assessment roll is to bs completed and returned to oonnty clerk by second Monday of February unless for cause tbe time is extended by county court. Real property must be precisely described, section, township, range and number of sores, ths vslue to be determined In consid eration of improvements thereon and on lands in surrounding counties snd qualities of soil, convenience to line of transporta tion, publio rosds, mills and other local ad vantages. Indebtedness shall be deducted, but it must be actual and not probable or fancied, and In assessing for school purpose the debt, in order, to be exempted, niuit exist against property in tbe district. Ths county olerk is required to furnish eaoh assessor with an abstraot of the nnsat. lulled Indebtedness on the records. Notice must be given of tbe 'meeting of the board of equalization which is made up of the county judge, coun ty olerk and tbe severs! precinot assessor. The assessor keeps a duplicate assessment roll, with corrections, after being equalized and trauBmits the same to his successor. He is required to apply to all banking in stitutions snd express companies in hi pre cinct snd procure a sworn slstement of the names of all depositors therewith of money or valuables with the amount of such de posits tor each depositor. Persons must swear lo their property lists or forfeit $50. Imported Song; Birds. Tbereoent effort of tbe state board of horticulture to raise a fund for the importa tion of song and insectivorous birds to Ore gon, Is remindful that in May, 18S0, Euro pean long-birds were imported by a society into Oregon and sot free near PoitUnd. Since then the songsters, which are useful in in the orohards as well as ornamental and entertalnlug, have done well and in creased largely in number. The Imported stock consisted of ten pairs of black-headed nightingales, eightpairs grey song thrushes, fifteen pairs block song thrushes, twenty two pairs skylarks, four pairs singing quails, twenty pairs black starlings, fifteen bull flnob.es, three of which were males; the rest of the females bod died on the way over; forty pair goldfinches, forty pairs chaffinches, thirty-five pair linnet, forty pairs ziskln (grien flnobes), twenty pair cross beaks, one pair real nightingale (the rest died on the way), and several pairs of red-breasted English robins, the European wren species, forest flnobes, yellow ham mers, green finohe. It is now no uncom mon light in the vicinity of Portland and in different part of Oregon to lee skylarks caroling far up in tbe air, thrushes tinging among tht tree, and finches and linnets near ths homes, also singing as sweetly as In their native haunt. Near Portland the songs of nightingale have been heard after dark during all summer. Nothing conld be more cheerful than the awsot muslo fur nished by the wild song bird, snd it Is a rar ity in Oregon. There are many in this tat who would give liberally to any society contemplatlug further importation! of sweet linger. An Injunction Suit. Albany Democrat: During tbe paat two yean Markley and Dunstan, profeaalonal abstractors from tbs Esst, hsve been making a complete abstraot of the titles of Benton oonnty, at Corvallis, and perfecting tbe titles generally, ths books having been in rather a bad shspe. At the last term of the county court, having completed their work, they presented their bill, whioh figures up $7,200. Now oomes Judge Burnett snd brings a suit against tbe county judge snd commissioners, and county treasurer, enjoining them from paying the county warrants, which had been Issued in favor of Markley and Dunstan. Tbe complaint alleges that the whole trans action was unconstitutional and that said sum was mor than the work performed was worth and the connty commissioner had no right to enter into such contraot under the present laws of tbe state. Ths case is an im portant on and will be watched with great interest Albany Democrat: Prominent taxpayers In Linn county are considering Ibe proprie ty of bringing an injunction suit against the secretary of stat and state treasurer (in cose any of the , wagon rood bill should pass.and become a law) to restrain the for mer from issuing and the latter from paying any warrants for such roads. This would be the proper thing to do, as there is scarce, ly any doubt that ths supreme court would decide suoh acta unconstitutional. Judge Boise has so decided, and w feel sure hi decision would be affirmed. Roseburg Plaindealer: Ws have not ths time to critically examine the provisions of ths Gaston railroad commissioner bill, but incline to the opinion that three men, all things considered, are better than one. A powerful because rich corporation could not so easily buy three men as they could on. Henos ws fsvor three with authority to do something more than draw their salary.
