t i-fr'fon TO?riilSni5S;TffW!!l: ?ft i'vvapviu'u.' CITY Tsr COUNTKY. Thursday, April 22. Capital Lumbering Company. We were mistaken In a measure v.hon tatlng come time since that the Capital Lumbering Company bad purchased the South Salem mills. The facts are that Mr. J. H. Mo ares put In the machinery and equipment of his South Baleni Mill to the -value of IS',500, and 'became thereby a one Jiflh owner in the Capital mills with Messrs. I'onrythe, Prescott, White and the Patterson .estate. .l&dGZ. . H'l-X JI The Capital Company la not only making .extensive contracts for the Durohaae.of loo for Immediate use, but n'as twenty men and, nine yoke of cattle employed cutting and hauling logs to the Santlam river from the vicinity, or Fox's Prairie., From this source ithey will run down fully a million feet of .excellent red and yellow fir logq, which are now being banked ready to be rolled Ihjind run down before the water falls below a good driving stage. Mr. Preeoott, of the Capital! Company is now- busily' engaged making' a -boom 'to be anchored or fastened to the Polk county side, to'shoot the logs into the eddy when they come down. This boom will be made of three stringers securely bolted together, lapping past each other and making tour joints aw leet long, xne-e joiuts win do se curely chained together, and the boom will swing down stream, diagonally crossing the current, and hold in that position by broad, flat timbers, adjusted to the boom, pointed down stream, aud dipplngsuQicIent ly to feel the strength of tho current, which, acting on these blades, shall cause the boom to hold its itnglo across the stream. When logs are to be run this boom will be put iu its place, the logs will bo stopped by it and turned into the eddy, where they "ill be caught nnd secured. Steamboats will have ample room to pass the point of the island without impediment Irom the boom as the eddy extends hilf way across the river at that point. Score Another for Stroud. We have keard a great deal about throe card monte being played on the Central Pa cific railroad aud we havo to announce that yesterday one of tho monte sharps of that region inado his appearance ou Stioud's evening train. After getting aboard he mau--9d to secure privacy enough to change his dress and appearance by the mounting of a blue flannel shirt and colored cotton neck kerchief, and tben'seatedjkiraself beside an emigrant and began to finger his three cards with his two lingers, for his title is " Two fingered Smith." Two young men, his pals, happened along and opened a game with him, they winning every guess and taking the fellows coin. Just as this little game grew interesting to the immigrant, along came Conduc:or Stroud and remarked politoly to tho gambler "I want you to get off." The gatnber said he wanted "to be put off " Said Stroud, "If that's" iwhat you want I'll try and accommodate you," aud bo say ing he gave him a lift by the collar that was significant enough to induce the fellow to leave, the train i having stopped meantime for thatfourpose. This happened the other side of Milwaukee. The two con federates also sneaked off and left the immi grants to make the passage unmolested. This game is simply a triokof slight of hand by which the card to be bet on is replaced by another aud tho better must lose, because the card is not there. An old miner (Jerry Cold well tells us both stories) once beat the game In the following way: tie suddenly nailed the card he bet on to the board with his knife and made the spore lift the other two, and as neither of them was the one bet on the gambler paid the money. It is nevorsafe for any persou to bet on anyjsuch game?, for the simple reason that no honest men play them, and the pretended outsiders who win jare always a part of the gang. Spelling at Albany. They bad a spelling match, that we bear of, at Albany the other night and we are pleased to know tbot the newspapers of that enterprising town sustained themselves very speUtnatically. A young man named Stewart of the Democrat office succeeded itwtee la holding his own against all comers isnd took all the spare prbes that laid around loose. His boss, the State Printer, saw tsctnebody "beckon" and stepped down and out at least be went out a beckon. The editor of the Granger spelled "door case" with Jore for a starter and never got any farther, but the Reqnter man made a gallant fight and fell last of all .the newspaper chiefs, Passovek Bread. The passover bread used this week by our Jewish fellow citizens Is fey no means unpalatable, as though only .made of water and flour it Is baked in large round cakes, thin as wafer. This bread is .made at the Portland bakeries and shipped ito all the Deoole of the upper towns. We W lhave a sample before us and see no reason -to waste sympathy on our friends who chew on it once a year for a week at a time. The comments elicited in the office include an in- Sulry from the foreman: "Was that made y the Alden process?" while the devil fell iback on slanir and coolly remarked that It ,waa "toothlii." ,Ismiorast8. Quite a large crowd of im . migrants oame oil' the last steamer from .California and reached our city last evening by the train. The Commercial Hotel had 45 In all, aud many v-mt to the Chemeketa. Uvery oocan steamer brings a crowd of pas sengers and we hoiw they flud Oregon what they hoped aud expected, but it Is hard ly- posaible that these strangers in a stranre land should not fxel some touch of weari ness and home sickness after coming' off suoh a long and disagreeable journey. Daily tfvjociKQ JoumtaI W have re ceived the first numbers of the new evening paper published at Portland, which comes fcy express Instead of by mall so-we did not receive It yesUrdey. It Is spicy and well .printed sheet sad should be supported, es 'pecially as It has no politics. Isrrr.oviso. Wo learn from Dr. Jessup thatW. ti. Wade Is Improving very satisfac tory, has no fever, rests Jwell aud hi appo tlto Is gaining, though ho cannot yet mauage to set up. Mnny frlwnds will rejoice to lcirn that Mr. Wade Is dolug ko well. , Notary Punitc To-day the Governor re appointed!. D. Winchester, ofjfmpire City, a Notary Public for Coos county, Oregon. The State Treasury was to-day enriched to the amount of $1,770 from Umatilla county. 'j - Friday, April 23. ''iTElq Santlam as S'Wat'flfoef. 35 1 ( Messrs. Albert Kinney and S. R. Scott re turned last eventng from a trip to the Santl am river, induced In part by the fact thitthe water supply, for. tho use ofithejlallls.hore was not over aDundant, anatjfimuer lor luo purpose of exa'mlnlngthe works at the head of the raoe and to Judge If the dam that turns the water from the Santlam was 'in good or der. They found, the, supply short because the head-gate was down, as the gate-tender at the Santlam had ati idea that a sufficient power was furnished, by the waters naturally running in Mill Creek. The dam1 in the San tlam, though not a very permanent structure, will answer for the present season. They proceeded above for nine miles to Smith's ferry, on the North Fork, and half a mile be low there they found a very favorable place for taking wat6r out of tho North Kork,vbere a slough mikes out from the river, and that it could be taken across the country to Mill Creek, or brought all the way to Salem by a canal at not to exceed f'lO.OCO cost for tho con Btruction'of the same. Probably tho plan of leading it iulo Mill CrctU from that polut would be tho most econotalc.il and mo it likely to be adopted. Tho bank or bar of tho river hero the present dam is constructed aud the water taken out at the present tlnio, is wearing away and not considarod sifo, so tbore will most likely bet-tops eoou taken for n more safe and certain water supply. One obect that is held In vlow lu connection with a oannl is to provide a nay for rafting down timber and logs from above, which It is belinved could eentuclly bo tuadoery profitable. Masonic Re-Union. Through Judge Chadwick we learn that tho Masonic fraternity of Oregon, Washington aud Idaho intend to have re-unlon somewheru this summer where the senno of eujoytnent o?.n be flavored.wlth a good, old fashioned clam-bake. Tho 9;h of August is the time fixed when the party illl leave Portland for some point on the Sound where Masons and their friends will con gregate for u season of sea air and sea enjoyments generally. After the clam har vest shall have been fully partaken of there will be a trip down tho souud to Victoria on some of those grand sound steamers that ply the length of that labyrinth of waters, a pleasure excursion that will glvoa view of all the magnificent scenery of that wonderfully picturesque region. We can hardly conceive of a more charming excursion to be plan ned than the one referred to above. In the first placej tbe'MMaioi.ic' order -furnishes the general talent to appreciate such a tour of pleasure, and.1 make it thor oughly enjoyable, for of course the ladies are Included;., next the-looallties to be visited w ill offer every1 charm of Nature and enough of the concomitants of civilization to render the enjoyment perfect; thirdly, the fare will no doubt be reduced to a price within com mand of all who may desire to be partici pants, thus rl&vorlnor nlAasnrn with winnomv as well as making it savory with clam-bake. " At Tnn University. The exercises at the University this afternoon were very Interest: ing, and consisted of music by Miss Teresa Holderness, declamation by Eugene Willis, recitation by Miss Stella Moore, composition by Miss Mattie Jory, declamation by D. P. Stouifer, composition by Miss Ella McKln- ney, declamation by J. L. Wortman, compo sition by Miss Faunle Walker,declamatlon by J. K. Nichols, recitation by Miss Mary Strong, and Instrumental music by Miss Ella Wright. These Friday afternoon exer cises are no't very well attended by tue par ents of the students, but perhaps if they would charge au admittance fee they would bring out more of a crowd. Out Again. This afternoon President Gatch made bis first appearance down town for the first time iu about four months, hav ing during that time been 'confined to the house with a long and severe siege of the in flammatory rheumatism. He looks thin and walks with a ?ane yet, but hopes to be able to resume full work at the University next week. A host of friends were glad to greet him once more. OnowiNQ Weather. The beautiful show ers we have lately enjoyed make Nature as beautiful as possible, for dark emerald car peting covers the bill sides and the prairies; the trees are putting forth thelroliage rapid ly,'and the orchards are all in "bloom with the fragrance from blossoms regaling the senses a it loads the air we breathe. This sort of matter and surroundings should cause everybody to behave well and feel happy. 1hprovi.no ix Health. Mr. John Ford, we are glad to hear, is much improved by his residence in Southern California.

After a fow months residence there, they, or some' of them, returned to Oregon, and on Tuesday last the lost one made his return to Ibis city nud all tho party with one exception are still living.
