The party wa composed of Mayor M. II. Friendly, President F. M. Wllklns of the board of trade, H. M. Yoran, K. II. 1 1 aye., W. 11. lloir man, K. ltaug, J. V. Kay, It- Mc Murplmy, Jn. W. Stewart, F.

Merlau has done an Immense amouut of work on the park and a more suita- lile place one coui.i nvi expect to nni fur the meetings of such an organiza tion. The grove have been trimmed out and make a meat beautiful place. The soil Is of the kind ecallarly adapted to making a grew! race course. I here Is a combination 01 three race liacks lu the uatk: a one-mile kite shaped truck: a on mile circular track and a oce and one-eighth mile circular track. Tk tracks have aln-ady been nut In good couditieu for driving pur pose aud bet Utile more work will be ueueanllated to make at least one flrnt claw track. In additlou to thl. a Mmon can drive over eight mile nu Hue driveway through the park without going over the same road twice or dilviug ever the Hack. To a rw.ii w ho haa never vl.ltc.1 thl beautiful place It will he time well spent to make It a visit. The lake now cover about thirteen acre ot land and braide being an excellent place for boating, a ye repoitercail attest, I well slocked with carp. A fine driveway will saou be built clear around the lake. There can I but one objection brought agalu.t this site for the fair and that la the distance from town. With the pn.MMt-d turnpike nad thi would be entirely overcome. Howev er some think the Idea a feasible one to have the pavilion for tlm agricultural exhibits aud such Items lu town and have the stock clhll.lt, race rourw, etc., In the utrk. In this way the cn.wd would be held III town during the forenoon, at the park In the after u.m.ii, aud al Ix.tli places ef evenings.

Horn-burg Iteview: The attorneys for Saui Itrown, coavlcte.1 ef the mur der ot Alfred Kincald, tiled their formal notice of appeal lo the supn-me court Saturday. Their grounds of appeal Includes thlrty-aeven exce tiona. Thev excent lo one grand Juryman; to the ruling of the court lu the examination or most or tne trial Jurymen who were flually accepted, and to the testimony of several wltuM, notably that of It. P. Dear, T. I.. Kimball, C. 1'uderwo.Ml, and several grand Juror. Judge Fullerton ha grauted a stay ef execution uuill such a time a the appeal shall have been decided. Itrown was to have la-en hanged on the 15th Inst, and didn't seem to dread It In the least. He whistle and slugs "like a lark," as oue nf the sheriffs force remarked the other day, and has apparently lost every feeling of fear. He advised the slieriir recently uol to go to the expense of building a scattold from w hich to swing him oil. "Tie a rope around my Beck and put It over the limb of that tree," he remarked, "and I will lump nut ef the Jail window and the Job will he doae," and Sheriff Cat heart thinks that Itrown wouldn't hesitate a moment to lauach himself Into eternity lu that way.

There is a great gambling game going on with gold, and the World seems to have its eyes on tl e game. It says: The World has asked tho hanks why they are hoarding S1,000,000 in gold for which titer have no uho whatever. Their replies are eva sive, shifty, insincere. They have r.o obligations payable in gold. Their notes aro redeemable not by Uie.im'lvrH but by thu government, and not in gold but in green backs. The checks drawn by their depositors are payable in psjHjr alone, and in fact are paid in noth ing elfe. There is no jxifsiblo rea son for them to hoard gold except that they rxect a premium on it or Unit they wish to forco the gov ernment to borrow money which it doc not need. Their talk about country banks occasionally de manding cold remittances istoldcr ol. They can go to the sub-treasury ujon every such occasion and exdiunge crecubacks for cold in any (juatitity thoy please. The banks still owe the public an ans wer to the World's uestions. THE I'AM'ADK RESERVE. A bill has been introduced in the house by Thompson of Multno mah, to accrue to Oregon, for tho benefit of the common school fund, some 1MO,000 acres of school land, being sections 1G and 35, embraced within the Cascado timber reserve, and the appointment of an agent to select lieu lands therefor, and to inmate, tho price of such selections to tie sum nf 15 per acre, and to increase the price of all state lands to 12.50 per acre. The Cas cade reserve was set off simply to allow the school land board to se lect lieu lands to speculate on them and this bill is tho culmination of the scheme. The Statesman refers to ono of the bills in the legislature as fol lows: Senator Holt the Kpulit mem ber from Jackson teunty, made an ableapjK-al in the senate yesterday uiurniiig in trie inieresi oi ms uul asking that the three great parties be recognized by county courts in the aptiointment ol judges and clerk of election. It was an earn est effort to secure the enactment of a law calculated to purify the ballot. After a long debate Daw son moved to recommit to the ju diciarv with instructions to amend sj that the bill would not apply to Linn county. As this would make the bill unconstitu tional, such action would kill the bill effectually. The objectionable feature of the bill is that which re quire the county judges to appoint judges and clerks of election as re commended by the county central committees of the three leading po litical parties. House bill Xo. 53 provides for an annual state license of 150 for fire insurance companies and 1100 for life insurance companies. It nevolent and fraternal organiza tions, such as Masons, Workmen, etc., are exempted. There is a similar law in Washington and otl.er states, and if this bill is en acted il will result in increasing tho revenue of the state some 130, CM), considerably relieving the burden of taxation on property. The provision of the proposed law are iust and equitable, and it should have the support of all true economists io the legislature. The bill has parsed the lower house, but the ir.suratu- compatiif will trv il s'.r.ngle it in the stria! JJy all means Lane county should hold a county fuir. Citizens of Eugene it depends upon you whether uc!i will be the case. Ilelp the undertaking by every mcuns. Five hundred and sixty-eight bills have boen introduced into tho legislature. It it a very fortunate thing that only a small portion can pass. Think of the disaster and misery that is saved by this fact. The Oregon ian alludes to the anti-Dolph republicans as "refus ing to act with the partv." Hut isn't it ft little doubtful just now which faction is "the party," er where tho party isal? About 11,000,000 in money clothes, fuel and food have been contributed to the relief of tho Ne braska sufferers, and $50,000 ap propriated by the state, and still many persons are suffering from extreme destitution, and some even starving. With the swearing-in of the re publican senators from the states latelv unrepresented, the senate has ceased to be democratic, but it will not be republican by a long wayB. The balance of jiower will lie held by the populists. As tho United States senate now stands it com prises 43 democrats, 39 republicans and 5 populists. The Dalles Chronicle says: A dispatch from Scranton, I'enn., yes terday announces the deatli of Judge Handley of that city. He was the brother of Mjor Handley lute of this city, and was very wealthy. Several years ago he made a will, leaving all his pnK-r-ty to Kddio Handley, his nephew, but the latter dying soon after, tin will was, of course, no effect. He leaves no relatives unless in the sixth or seventh degree, and it is quite probable that tho dividing of his estate, valued at 18,000,000 will cause considerable litigation. Tho "pay roll" of tho Nez IVree Indians, whose reservation will soon be 0cned up in Iduho, con tains about 2,000 names. In ii few weeks tho government cheeks will be ready for distributions Kaeh individual Indian receives $.100, so it will bo seen that lar.s famili-s will be able to handle $'.', 500 to $3,000. 'i he recent reports of procctive serious disturbance seem to bt! devoid of truth and il is 0cnly charged the rumors have been set iu i)cration by cattlemen who have heretofore enjoyed a tn nojHjly of the rich grazing hinds, which are now to bo thrown open to settlement under the homestead law. The 0eniiiR of the Nez Perce reservation should induce a genu ine boom in that section of Idaho. Statesman: "The homestead ex emption bill as it passed tho sen ato is modeled after the Illinois law on the same subject and al lows a homestead exemption from execution to the amount of $1,000 together with minor exemptions, and the exemption is valid until such time as the youngest heir shall havo attaint J majority. The law is a good ono a much needed measure and should speedily bo come a law, as the present home stead exemption law is thought to be void by reason of a clerical er ror of the 1893 session which en acted it. I$y reason of this error an amendment which passed both houses in 1893 does not appear in the law as it went to and was signed by the governor. The states of the union, with a possible threo exceptions, all have homes stead exemption laws. Tho only dissenting votes on its passage yes terday were those of Price, Haley and Simon." The Moores horticultural bill which passed the house creates a board of six members, ono from the state at largo and ono from each of five districts as follows: 1st Multnomah, Clackamas, Yamhill, Washington, Columbia, Clatsop and Tillamook. 2d Marion, Polk, Benton, Lincoln, Linn and Lane. 3d Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Josephine, Coos, Curry and Lake. 4th Wasco, Sherman, Morrow, Gilliam and Crook. 5th Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Dak er, Malheur, Harney and Grant. To hold office for four years. They shall have a secretarr at not more than $1200 a year". The board is clothed with Uie necessary powers of regalating, inspecting quarantining, disinfecting, etc., necessary to protect the fruit against the introduction and spreading of diseases and pests among fruit trees. The members are to be appointed by aboard con sisting of the governor, secretary and treasurer of the state. They have power to appoint auanntine guardians in each district when necessary and to pay them $2 rfr day. For the support o! the board and prosecut:ou of its work the coming two years, $9,000 is appro priated. It is considered by tn'st fruit men a very pool measure. It is practically the same as the P.al-r natebill. r. J o
