Last Saturday Loyd Robinson and
Oscar Gosser went bunting on Mill
creek. About eight miles up the creek
they scared up an eagle, and Loyd Rob
inson having bis rifle loaded, shot it on
the fly. It measured seven feet from
tip to tip. They were only able to carry
home one claw and the tail, which they
proudly marched into town with, like
two old hunters. "
.At the Wasco warehouse this morning
there were sixteen four-horse teams
waiting to unload, and the grade down
the brewery hill had aB many more on
their way in, and yet we are told that
grain is not coming in so rapidly as a
week ago. The warehouses are all fill
ing up rapidly, the shipments to date
being light, not more than three or four
carloads a day, and the boats are taking
about, as much more.
, A telegram received from P. T. Sharp
yesterday afternoon stated that he was

died. Deceased lacked but a few months
of being 90 years of age, and the family

This year Rosh Hoshana, the Jews'
new year, falls on September 27th. The
next holiday to be observed is the fast
of ' Yom Kippur, or day of atonement,
services for which will begin ten days
after the new year, and last through the
following day. ' This is one of the most
solemn days known to Judaism. On
this day every member of the faith
spends the day in prayer for forgiveness
for his sins of the past year. Later on
comes the feast of the tabernacles, a
joyful occasion.

At Gate creek, in Lane county, while
alone, John Ciss came across a large
brown bear, called by many the Oregon
grizzly, says the Eugene Guard. He
shot bruin a couple of times with his
Winchester, but it seemed to have only
the effect to infuriate the animal. A
shed was in close proximity, and Mr.
Ciss hastily olimbed on the same, but
was not a minute too soon, as the bear
was at his heels. From his eminence
he Bhot the bear at least a dozen times,
six of the shots taking effect in the
head, beiore death came. The bear, al
though quite poor, weighed over 800
pounds. Mr. Ciss, who lives about one
and a half miles north of Eugene, is
quite proud of his achievement.
A Historic Belle.
Tte figurehead of the famous flagship
Hartford has been presented to the city
of Hartford by Commander Hichborn ot
the Washington navy yard through
Senator Hawley, and the citizens are
pleasantly agitated over the manner of
the reception of the gift and its perma
nent resting place. It is proposed to
have a parade on a date to be named,
to be followed by an historical address
and other exercises. Some of the more
enthusiastic would make the parade
rival that of "Battle-Flag day," an
ever-memorial day in Hartford, when
the war veterans escorted their tattered
battle-flags from the arsenal to the state
capitol. That, however, was years ago,
and nearer to the days of the war
spirit. A much more modest demon
stration is expected now. The relic,
which is described as artistic and in an
excellent state of preservation, will
probably be placed in the capitol with
the battle-flags and the statue of the
war governor, at least until the city has
a fire-proof building to shelter it.
Taxpayers, Attention.
This is my last and final call to you,
as the county court has issued an im

1897, without further notice, levy upon
and sell all property upon which taxes
remain unpaid. T. J. Drives,
Sheriff.

The receipts can be depended upon as
not varying greatly this year from last.
The expenditures, the council estimates,
can be reduced as follows : During the
year two years' water rent was paid,
which at $373 a year, would save this
year that amount. Then for lights $409.
30 were expended, which amount could
be applied for lighting purposes. These
eums added give $782.30.
In looking over the items we note one
of $128.50 charter expenses, which it ap
pears ought to be saved, and it looks as
though the sura of $162.50 for insurance
was an extra large sum for that purpose,
considering the value of the city's prop
erty, but leaving the latter out and add
ing the charter expense to the savings,
and it would make $910.80. Of course
the big item that eats up everything,
and which cannot be reduced, is the in
terest amounting to $3,420 a year, a sum
nearly double that required to light the
city. We believe, though, with close
economy, the amount could be made
considerably larger than that sutu! and
the balance could be arranged for.

A Gtant Tree.
George rerringer a few days ago te
turned , with his family from a visit to
the principal cities of Puget sound
Among the things which interested him
most was a giant of the forest near New
Whatcom. This was a red fir tree
measuring 33 feet 11 inches in circa m
ference and 430 feet in height: A card
tacked upon it informed the traveler
that there was sufficient material in it
if cut into lumber, to build five 7-room
cottages. Furthermore it has been cal
culated that the tree, if cut into one
inch strips, would, if the strips were
placed end to end, reach from New
Whatcom to China,
