The Oreaonian reports that at the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Kod and
Gun Club a communication was received
from the Washington fish commissioners,
offering to furnish to the club, free of
charge, sufficient black bass fryto stock
the streams of Oregon with these famous
game fish. There was a great diversity
of opinion among the members as to the
advisability of accepting the offer of the
commissioners, and a discussion followed
which terminated in the matter being
set aside for further consideration.
While the black bass is a fine game tiah
and no easy game for the sportsman, it
has the reputation of being exceedingly
voracious, . destroying its more fragile
rivals. "I am not in favor of the intro
duction of the black bass in Oregon."
said Tom Parrel, secretary of the club,
last evening. "They are too fond of eat
ing. If we were to stock our rivers now
with small fry, in four or five years we
would have all the bass we wanted, but
long before that time they would com
mence their work of destruction. The
Columbia was stocked with carp and
catfish some years ago, and now we are
overrun with these useless fish. Why,
catfish have become an easy prey, even
for badgers. Not long ago I was passing
over a bit of ground not far from the
river, and found lying here and there a
number of catfish 'head. Examining
into the matter, I found that they had
been caught by badgers and that the
heads had been left because they were
too tough even for the badger's stomach.
We can do without the black bass, as
the streams are already well stocked with
the finest game fish in the world, and we
don't want them destroyed."
The road law as amended centralizes
the county road business in the county
courts of the several counties. Taxes
are paid in cash, no levy to exceed five
mills, and are dispensed and appor
tioned to the several districts by the
county court. A special road law was
also passed that will enable persons
owning property along any particular
road to improve it to any degree of per
fection, the property within three miles
of the road on each side to pay the costs,
provisions being made for meeting the
indebtedness thus acquired by instal
ments, payable over a space of ten
years. The law is very materially a
change from the old one, and all its ins
and outs arid how it will operate are not
very well understood. The most im
portant thing of all in road making is
money and any system without plenty
of money will le only a partial success

The people of this vicinity insist on

Bishop, of Portland Mills, Indiana.

should they not insist upon having it.

evening on the steps of his boarding
house and collared him.
"If yon don't pay me that bill this in

the victimized tradesman. The adver

and there wasn't a soul in sight. Every

and the man with the bludgeon released
his grip on his collar and followed him
until the swinging doors of the dining
room flew open and the astonished tailor
stood confronting the staring crowd.
Do any of yon ladies and gentlemen
know this man?" asked the agent. The
boarders glared over their knives and
forks and shook their heads. "I thought
not. I found the fellow out in the cor
ridor trying one of the doors with a
skeleton key, and I guess he's the man
that's been robbing the hat rack lately."

of the creditor only made his case worse,

is left to his children. To the city of
Charleston he gave a sword, which was
presented to him by some ladies of New

Louisiana he bequeathed a life-sized por
trait of the testator. After disposing of
the property, the testator instructs his
executors to have his body cremated.
provided, however, that there was
- crematory in successful operation in or
near New Orleans at the time of his
death. The general gave as a reason for
wanting his body cremated that he con

As there was no crematory anywhere

EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY PRESS
From the Daily Chronicle of Feb. 18th.
Of Interest to Merchants.
The suit of A. S. Collins and Mrs. A. S. Collins
against H. Herbrlng of this city, which was to
come before the Jury yesterday morning, was
again postponed. This suit against one of our
oldest and best-known dry goods merchants
creates considerable comment in commercial
circles. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. A. 8. Col
lins obtained under false pretenses and promises
at the end of the year 1891, goods to the amount
of 150.80 from the defendant; but instead of pay-
Ling the bul, as agreed, they shortly afterwards
left the city by night and moved to California.
Last spring Mr. Herbring learned that all their
household goods, etc., were In the hands of the
sheriff of Wasco county, and consequently placed
a second attachment upon the goods' held by the
sheriff. A portion of these goods were sold last
December by the sheriff of Wasco county, as no
compromise could be obtained by defendant.
And now come the plaintiffs and sue through
their attorney. Judge A. S. Bennett, the defend
ant, for tbe sum of 1 175.00. We will watch this
suit when it comes before the jury, as we think
it is one of great interest to storekeepers.
From the Daily Tima-Jfountaineer of Feb. SUh.
Eazor-Edged Teohnioalities.
The case of A. 8. Collins vs. H. Herbring was
on trial in the Circuit Court today, and the Jury
empanelled were E. W. Trout, Geo. Joles, A. Bet
tingen, Jr., Geo. W. Miller, S. B. Adams, James
Harper, W. C. Hansell, John Wood. Argument
was had this morning on a motion to non-suit,
made by defendant's counsel, which ws taken
under advisement until afternoon, when the
Judge overruled the motion. The facts appear
to be that the plaintiff left this city owing Mr.
Herbring, and he attached property for the debt.
After the sale of the attached property the de
fendant attempts to set aside the sale and sues
Mr. Herbring for damages, claiming that the
proceedings were not technically legal. The
razor-edge technicalities of law, we presume,
will always remain, but it works grot hard
ships on creditors, in many instances, be de
barred from collecting their just claims from
the commission of 'a clerical error or the misin
terpretation of a dubious statutory provision.
From the Daily Chronicle oj Feb. S5th.
The suit of A. S. Collins and Mrs. A. S. Collins
vs. H. Herbring came to a termination yesterday
afternoon, the jury rendering a verdict in favor
of the plaintiffs. Mr. Herbring considers his
defeat as a fait accompli, and is now more than
ever convinced that he has to stick to his old
rule and mottq to sell dry goods cheap and for
cash only.
