Tlii Fault ol a Seirllg-fitt or liriinkfii Captain. Tbe steam achooner Record, the proe rfy oi Mtuball, Btevene S co. oi tun t rancisco, wbile croaaing lbs bar of tbe Siuslaw river. outward bonud, ran ashore Tbursdsy of last week. At Ibe time a heavy gale was blow ing and il was eared for a litue that she would be a total loss llowwer, luckily the winds abated sud she aaa landed high and dry on Ibe aanda, but not until 50,000 foet of lumber snd 27 esses of dried salmon bad been thrown overboard. Work was imme diately commenced to again pull her back iuto tbe river, which was successfully accom plished, aud she was U-sched Issl Sunday to make repairs. She was badly strained and lost her propeller aud rudder, entail ug a damage to her estimated st $'.1,000, After a few rt pairs tbe vessel will sail for ban Iran, oieeo. A considerable quantity of the luiu ber was picked np by wreckers i nd saved. ne are informed that the going ashore of tbe vessel waa uot the fault of the bar, but was the work of either a drunken or negligent captain. It uppeurs that where she went asbore was at least one-ball mile north of tbe cbanutl. The tatuer Geo. II. Chance arrived in over tbe liar the evening f trior and (ound (ourteen feet of water on tbe ar, and so reported to tbe csptaiu of ibe Record. When leaving tbe captain said be intended going north of the channel, and waa remonstrated with, but without avail. A pilot wanted to show bun out free of all tx pense, but be refused his aid. Such in.ii viduala should not be allowed to command any vessel, however stnull. Tba Siuslaw bar ia Ibe best one between San Francisco and tbe Columbia river, and with a proper jetty system will equal either of tbem, aa it is possible to procure 3d feet of aster ou the bsr, tbat being tbe amount of looae sand upon the same.

In each case it was tbe I null of Ibe commauder. Delinquent Taxpayers.

The succeeding years will be published in tbe order in which tney come two issues each. The Grange is determined that the names of those who have not paid tbeir taxes shall be ktown to tbe pubiio. l bis action ot tue court will undoubtedly facilitate tbe paymeut of delinqnenl taxes that have dragged along from year to year.

Since Ibe completion of tbe system of waterworks in Eugene tbe town has been in flicted with the poorest street sprinkling ser vice ever known, when it should be better on Ibal account, The nse of hose fur street sprinkling should be prohibited by the oity council. It is a constant source of danger to teams tbat sre not used to it, besides re quiring pedestrians lo be continually on tbe watch to escape Involuntary baptism. Some of Ibe business men wet down Ibn street in front of tbeir places while others do not; Ibe side streets. Seventh, Eighth snd part of Ninth, receive but little attention, conse quently a wind brings tbe dust from tbe nu sprinkled portions lu the detriment of every business bouse. 1 1 has been suggested that the city should take cbaige of the spriukling service, aa is done in mauy other towus of this size. Wil lamette atreet should be sprinkled from the depot to Tenth street, and Heventb, Mgblb and Ninth at least between Olive and Oak. Tauks could be erected at different points from which to draw the water, aud one wagon could sprinkle the streets sbove indi cated aud probubly more. Travelers and others going to and from the depot will be covered with a fog of dust aa soon ss ths dry season commences, unless the city steps in snd furnishes service. Tbe botneseeker and stranger looking for a loca tion receives a bad impression of tbe spirit and enterprise of a city tbat allows and suf fers tbis nuisance. Ths Eugeue city council cauuot but recog nize the justice of the complaint, and to maintain their record aa a live active body of public spirited men should st once lake steps to down Ibe dual and relieve a sutler lug community.

Train Stopg 20 Minutes-Benjamin Does uot Appear -The Citizens Indlifiiant at the Afl'rotit. Eugene la not la a happy state nf mind st present. Tuesdsy she waa justly wrathful and Indignant at the Insult received from ths pres idential party. According to ths programing President llurrlum. the uihmI Wunnamaker of $H), Ooi) fame, and L'ncle Jerry Busk of the agricultural department were to devote fifteen minutes of their time to a reception to be ten dered them by the isiople of Eunene and Lane county from 0:15 o'clock to C:30 Tuesday morn big. .Mayor McClung received a dispatch au thorizing the annoiinoement, and Senator KaU.ii), who was one of the legislative commit tee that met the presideutal party at Ashland, also received assurance that Eugene would be remembered by the President Tbe fire bell rung at 5 o'clock that morning, ami soon a throng of pe ipla began to gather at the deiiot, many of whom hail come from miles in the country for the esjiecial purpose of welcoming the l're.l lent. Although the rain fell all the time the eole were In good hu mor we mean before the train left. At least 2,110 tiersons were present on the depot ground. At 0:10 the testilmle train of Pullman cars rolled in, the enuina decorated with flags snd evervreens, bearing in front a portrait of the l'reiilent. The brass band played, the crowd cheered and botulis were fired. The reception committee, consisting of Mayor McClung, T. G. Hendricks, S. II. Friendly, J. 1. Matlock and S. M. Yoran were at the rear platform to perform their duty. No one on the train an leared. They waited and waited with the same barren result. Some one discovered a negro sirter; several saw Wannatnaker through the window cnnitiUcently resiling a paper. Twenty minutes elapsed without anyone show iug up, when Conductor Kearney came tn the rear platform, gave the starting signal and the train pulled out. Expressions of indignation at the contemptible manner in which they bad been treated were beard on every side from the citizens who had patiently stood in the rain wbile Harrison was, presumably, enjoying bis bed. Mayor Mcdiine-H. II. Friendly, J. D. Mat lock and S. M. V oran nf the reception Com. went aboard the pilot train, and to them after ward President II arrison claimed that a dis patch bad been sent the previous evening noti fying them that he could not appear st KiiK'ene. Xo such dispatch was received, snd taking all the circumstances into consideration the conclusion must be reached that the Presi dent thought far more nf his warm bed than of the attention of the 2,000 people who were standing in the rain to receive him. If the reception had not been intended the train would not have atoped in Eugene twenty minutes when other Mints lower down ths valley were urgently pressing their claims for more time. The G. A. It. meniliers, Company C, 0. N. (i., and a company of lads from 10 to 13 years of age, under command of drill master Mr, Sachs, the latter company Bring bombs, were present. 11. C. Humphrey had made arrangements with a McKenzie fishing party for trout for the presidential arty, and when the train stoped a basket of as fine trout as ever were lifted from the water waa placed aboard the train. Later In the day the following tele gram waa aeut after the presidential train: "Ki'UKNB, May 5. Send bock the basket of trout and we wiU ssud suckers instead. Imhuhamt EuukRk." Ths Oregomau spike ot it as an "Insulting telegram," but the 2.IHK) people that stood and endured the rain while aristocratic Benjamin held his couch down do not regard it in that light. Personal.
