hold nearer to lost year's crop. Oue
Middlefleld grower running two farms

Another rencrts a fulling ofTlrorn
325 boxes to l'J& boxes, same acreage

whose aggregate yield last year was
over 2,000 boxes, will have about 1,100

The poisoning of W T Peet and Will

great Interest lu Eugene. A good
many have expressed a desire to know
Mr Graham's version of the atluir.
The Times gives It as follows:
Thursduy afternoon Mr Urahain
arose and dressed himself, but after
five minutes his heart began to show
signs of failing aud he was immediately
put to ueu. men tne treatment wun
stimulants that had been left olf for
several hours was again applied, and
was kept up until yesterday afternoon.

given these friends since he has rallied
from the ellects of the drug. Mr Gra
ham's part in filling the graduate
tor inn draught consisted only In pour
Ing in the ginger. When Mr Graham
returned with the ginger Mr Peet
stood with the graduute already
filled with the brandy and Into the
vessel he poured the required amount
of ginger. Mr Peet at once took a
swallow and remarked that It was
awfully strong of ginger, or words to
that effect to show his customer It was
not stronger than usual, Mr Graham
took the graduate from Mr Peel's hand
and In order not to be burned by the
ginger swanoweu uowu what remained
in the gluss at one gulp. It was no
sooner done than he relized t lie
mistake, and a glance at the babel on
the bottle told the story.
It woe not until Thursduy morning
that Mr Graham was considered stroinr
enough to be told the late of his com
panion in the terrible atlair. The in
telligence was commiilcated to him by
Dr N R Avery and It proved to be a
terrible shock. He upbraids himself
mr allowing wr reel access to the bot
tie at All, but ns Mr Peet wasafreouent

helped himself to the bottle. Mr Gra.

course ecn to be blameless.

BukerCity lias discovered tlmt
her newly airiended charter con-,
tains no provision for the holding
of elections and consequently tho
municipality must forego that lux
ury. Inquiry at Salem brings out
the facts that a bill was introduced
by Senator King last session of the
legislature and passed, amenda
tory of Baker City's charter vir
tually a new charter. When tho
now laws were printed and had
reached Baker City, the discovery
was made that a whole section of
the charter was missing the sec
tion which prescribed a time for
tho election of city oflieera. The
peoplo of tho city have been in a
turmoil since the discrepancy
leaked out and have been writing
and telegraphing to the state house
to ascertain the whys ana where
fores of the trouble. The first sup
position was that the mistake was
made either by the state printing
office or the clerical force in the
secretary of state's office, but
belongs to neither of these depart
menu. The section wus left out
from the enrolled bill, though
appears all right nt all previous
stages. The apjieararice of the en
rolled bill indicates that some
slight change had been contem
plated in the dale of election or
the title of the officers and that the
enrolling committee had been
waiting for an agreement on these
points, which was not supplied
so the bill was completed without
noticing that tlio space left for

The Chicago Tribune has a word
to say in regard to the fruitless re
suits ot missionary labors among
the Chinese. The Tribune notes
that a great deal of missionary i f
fort has been expended upon the
Chinese in California, and especial
ly in San Francisco, but it requires
a microscope to discover any real
conversions niter forty years of
abor. In the way of doing actual
good for the wretched people of
our slums if 100 will accomplish
more than 110,000 spent n trying
to change the Chinese in their
Flowery Kingdom into followers of
Lhribt and heretics to the doctrines
of Confucius. Taking everything
into consideration, it is a fair quos
tion whether there is not a great
waste of christian effort ns well as
of money in these attempts to con
vert Chinese who won't be con
verted and whether it would not
be more practical as well as more
christian like to concentrate some
of this effort and money upon the
. .
neathen at our very doors who
know neither Christ nor Con
fucius.

an assessor who understands his
business and at the B-tme time re
spects his oath of office. His name
is Greenleaf. It should be New
leaf. Ho has added $3,000,000 of
tuxahle property to the list by
sessing the speculative land hoM
ing of churches and schools in
Multnounh county. This is en
tirely proper. It will drive vacant
lots and land into use and cheapen
both the value and rent of land,
which is a good thing for a com
munity because bv doing so in
dustry and enterprise are relieved
of unjust tribute exacted of them
by "dojjB in tho manger," in the
person of monopolizers of land.
