In the mean while Nixon had returned to his home near Harris burg and was captured there yesterday by Constable Linton. His examina tion has been set for 2 p in tomorrow in Justice Wheelel's court. The crime of which he is accused is as follows: On March It), while acting in the capacity of agent for Chas Jacobsou iV Co, he consigned 12 coops, containing IJS chickens, to the above nanus;) llrm, and represented to Mr WN Parker, of this city, the coin panv's agent from whom he was to draw hia pn, that he had shipM-d 4 dozen chickens.

Fpitok Reoisteic A communica tion apiM-ared In the Register of this d do Iu reference to my attitude to ward the state university. I desire to emphatically verify that statement. I have always, do now, ami shall iu the future, remain loyal to thels-st interests of tl at and all other Institu tions of learning throughout the state, from the common public schools up to the higher grade. These Institu tions, controlled bv the state, and re lying upon state aid to maintain their high grade of cftlclclicy, need have no fear of antagonism on my part. I did not previously know that there was any question of my position upon tills question. t II JIAKEIl The above communication was handed to the editors of the Daily Register with a req lest for its publi cation but was refused. C. II. Bakek. CoNCEiiNiNu Institutes It will not la definitely settled whether or not a teachets' Institute will he held III this county tills year until after the June aleclioii. At that time a new county scIkkiI suts-rlntendent will lie elected, aud SuMrlntemlent Stevenson, the present lucumheiit, does not wish to make any arrangements ror an in stitute until ho has consulted the wishes of tiie sum-rlntendcnt-elect In regard to the matter. II whoever lae'e-I- ed la desirous of holding a county In stitute SuM-rliitendunt Stevenson will commence arranging lor one immed iately alter the election, and It will he held some time In July or August. SUrt-riutendeut Stevenson Is very anxious to have the state teachers' In.tltute meet In Eugne this year and with the assistance of educators of tills city will work to that end. The lust two state Institutes have Ihs-ii held re speclively at Otegoii City and Portland, The next one will ho held some time during the coming summer and If held here a county institute could he had in conjunction 'with It. Eugene is a very suitable point for the state institute. The additional cost to Eastern Oregon delegates would le slight and Jwhut would l- lost by them would he gained by the Southern Oregon delegates who, heretofore have had logo to the extreme northern side of the state. No more ample means for entertaining tho Institute can Im found In the state than aro here, mid the sta'e university nu'd-.l to add grently to Its iuteiesl. I'l.oM OlWItT.vi i.i.k.

I have succeeded in s-curlng the great project for Immediately and a-r-in.ihehtl.v Improving the Willamette river from Eugene to Portland. The Improvement work will ls contracted. Biniiek Hermann. Wasiiinuton, D. C. k;;m H in, March 2-"), 1S1H). ) Hon. F. M. Wii.kins, Eugene, Oregon. I have secured a largo allowance for the Sluslaw Jetty work. An early ad journment of congress is assured i;nd will make money for the appropriation available ut an early date, which will make it possible to resume work on the Jetty In the near future. Yours truly, BlNdEll llKKMASN. Ill seeming the passage of these bills Mr Hermann has scored a point of victory for Oregon. The Improve ment iif the Willamette and the con; pletioii of the work now partly finish ed at Suislaw will derive great bsnelits for this section and Lane county in particular will rejolin over the success of Mr Hermann. Tho Improvement of the Willamette Is Just now a point of most vital interest to the Hsiple of this section. The plans for its Im provement between this city and llar risburg, us reported by the govern incut engineers is as follows, tho woik to I commenced at this city and con tinue down the river as far as port land: At Skinner's bar, a dam to Us con structed. At Gillespie bar, lower down, the Davis chute Is to I closed by a deflect ing dike, aud a bank tevetmeut is to bo made. At Scatter bar rnothor dam Is to be made. At Brown's island tlin channels leading to the left of the Island are to be rinsed bv dams 2700 feet III length. At 100, loll, I VI and lot-mile points dams and (lellectlng dikes aro to tat made. These are the chief works of a per matipiit nature, besides dredging that is to be dono between Eugene and llarrisburg, aud I ho cost lor t lie iar- maneiil works alone will bo J'JIiOO. The project la to secure at low water .1) or i feel lo Corvallis, and from there to r.ugene .) lo 3 lee I al lowest water. lo assist the work and to Keep the river cleared by snugging and dredg ing, a new boat larger and stronger than the siiagtamt Corvallis must be built, which shall have new appliance ror snagging ami dredging and scrap ing of bars. The sum of 1 1 0,000 is estimated for this bout, and II forms a part of the grons estimate of the work from Portland to Eugcuo. The fact that the snagboat, Corvallis Is now a craft of the past, will make the demand for a new boat Impera tive. The bill provides that the Improve ments of the Willamette shall la done by contract, which means that all the red tape or government work will be done away with and the work com- mcuced Immediately anil pushed lo a speedy completion. rue improvement oi musiaw nay, Lane county', harbor, Is a subject also of special interest. The Jetty work Is now only partially nuisiieii ami as u now stands Is of but little use, but .a few more appioprlul Ions will cotiiDlefo the Improvements which will make it one of the best harbore on the coast.
