A hot war is waging between the
towns of Albany and Corvalhs over the
price of eggs. Corvallls raised the price
to 15 oentH, at a time when Albany was
paying lii'-cents, and as a result 2,1130
dozen of her hen fruit patsed in one
day last Saturday Into the hands of
the Corvallls merchants. The Corvallls
merchants say their paying 15 cdiits is
business; not war nor cut-thioat compe

The Portland Telegram says salmon
are being caught on the lower river, ac
cording to numerous reports, in broad
daylight and there is no otlicer of the
law to lift a hand In opposition. These
reports come from responsible business
men, whose veracity can not be doubted,
and the only reason they desire their
names withheld Is that they fear the
vengeance of fishermen, who, they
think, would not hesitate to burn their
stores or even homes. Most of the fish
caught in violation of the law are packed
in smelt boxes and shipped to the
Sound by rail, although not a few find
their way into Portland by boat also.

Conroy brought with him a handsome

The Dufur Dispatch says: "All the
talk of the town Is oilt oil! and numer
ous rumors aro heard on all sides, many
of which are perhaps unfounded, but it
is a fact that experts have examined the
surface indication and are positive that
oil In large quantities will be found by
boring. The land along the creek above
town for a distance of three or four miles
has been leased by N. Whcaldon, of The
Dalles, who is acting as agent for an
eastern company. The company agrees
to begin boring within six months, and
if oil in paying quantities is found, to
begin pumping inside of two years. The
parties who have leased their land aro
taking it cool. They are saying but
very little, but express themselves as
confident that there is oil on their lands.
The Dispatch hones there is, and that
the terms of their leases will enabl"
them to realise handsomely. A few
millionaire oil magnates in Dufur would
would be a good thing for us all."
In an interview with Mr. Whealdon,
concerning the above, t tint gentleman
said he regrets that the showing in the
field referred to will not warrant the
extravagant expectations of the Dis
patch. He says, however, that there is
good evidence of the existence of carbon
underneath and if, fortunately, the
metamorphie rock is reached at a short
distance there is a good chanca to strike
anthracite coal farther down, as abun
dance of the latter is known to exist on
the eastern slope ol the Cascade mount
