Interesting Items From Exotsngrs ThroBgnoat the Sortbv?et. A young men's republican club has been organized at Pendleton. There are IC1 tax payers of Lane county who are assessed on amounts between $")000 and $10, 000. A shortage of not less than $o00 lias been found in ttie account of the city matshal of Athena. Ben. Langley, of Eag'e Valley, Baker county has been awarded a prize of $100 by a seed man of Philadelphia, for the ' best potato raised in the United States. . The inhabitants of Florence are having a bread famine. The steamer Chance with a load of merchandise for Florence is bar bound in the Coqnille river, and the people are out of flour, sugar and coal oil. Bread is made out of bran by tl cse who are short. If there has ever been evidence of the Willamette valley being turned into a paradise of fruit orchards those indications are now extant. Acre after acre of the best land is being set to nurseries, and orchards by the score are being set to trees this winter, and spring will find many more fields of five to twenty acres of the choicest land set to fruit trees. Quite a number of counterfeit half dollars are in circulation in Washington county, especially in the neighborhood of Glencoe, one merchant there having taken in as many as six in a day. The counterfeits are a very poor imita tion, having a slick greasy feeling, being ot light weight and having no "ring," yet it seems that they are good enough to deceive a great many. It if thought the counterfeits are made in the neigh borhood. The giving way of the heavy kitchen, roof at the state insane asylum, at Salem Tuesday came near proving fatal to a number of the patients ami attendants. Among the injured were: Susan Anderson, left leg broken; James Stewart, knee hurt; Charles Moonhan, shoulder injured; Thomas Finn, Larry Murphy and Tom Moffitt were also slightly bruised. Contractors were raising the roof to make additions and improvements to be made to ex tend over the kitchen, when some timber gave way and the roof came crashing down. The roof was twisted oat of all shape and will to be rebuilt. The damage will amount to little less than $1000. A Defeetlv Law. A correspondent of the Corvallis Times calls attention to a law on our statute which provides for the payment of bounties on certain kinds of wild animal scalps. The intention of the law is all right, but the danger lies in the fact that it is only a short distance across the mountains to where coyotes are plentiful and they could easily be slaughtered by the wholesale and their scalps sent to this valley for the bounty. He thinks the law should ba revised so as to compelfany one killing animals of this kind and claiming bounty to take them to the cnuaty clerk or a justice of the peace im mediately and prove when, where and by w bourn it was killed. The suggestion is a geod one, as the preeent law only encourages the smuggling traffic and our county exchequer could be crippled by paying bounties on coyote scalps killed in another locality. Last year the state of California paid bounties on U49S coyote scalps, ag gregating the enormous sum of $32,490. They pay only $5 per head; here in the valley they average about $15. The law needs remodeling. HOLIDAY SHOPPERS. Should S tbe Wonderful Array at Johns Qradwohl'a Baiaar. Mr. Julius Gradwohl, the enter prising proprietor of the Bazaar store in this city, which contains the largest and best selected stock of crockery, glass and other wares for domestic use, in the valley, as well as fancy wares, toys and beautiful holiday goods, has re plenished and enlarged his entire stock and now has a store that is a credit to himself and an orna ment to the city. His shelves, counters and every available space are filled with the choicest and most varied stock of goods ever Been in this valley, including a mammoth display of holiday goods. He has added a new line which consists of a beautiful as sortment of rolled gold jewelry warranted to wear as good as gold and costing one-tenth as much money, diamond cut pins, rings, fine umbrel'as for holiday presents and novelties.

He also carries a gigantic stock of lieautiful hanging lamps, stand lamps, bicycles, tricycles, safeties and velocipedes, which he guaran tees to sell as low as any place in Oregon. Ilia assortment of fine teas and coffees is always complete, as well as a general stock of family groceries. He l.uys his goods direct for net cash and sells them the same way.

Snator I)aes. of Massachu setts, is in a sad state of mind. Five an r ions fellow-citizens are clamoring for his seat, and insist ing upon his taking himself into the retirement department. F.lwell An Barnard, a Welsh bard, has w ritten a 110 verse ode to his cow. The English poet laureate, being now in the milk business, may yet dash off some light and dairy thing of tins kind. Daniel Webster was something of a granger in his day, though he didn't run kid politics largely on that fact. A plow used by htm has rnmo into tbe possession of the Marshfield (Maes.) Agricul tural Sncietv. and mav be exhibit ed at the world's fair. Dr. P.ronesteel is a medical ex pert in the Graves poisoning caee in Denver. Mr. Bringhuret is an undertaker who brings his hearse to many a Philadelphian'e door. What's the use of inventing odd names? Kit Carson's eon, who is charged with murder, once aroused the in terest of General Sherman, who tried to educate him because of the esteem in which he held tbe boy's father. So he sent the youth to school, but from the first young Carson proved to be an irreclaim able savage. Mr. Henry George may be nat tered to learn that the Earl of Russell, who has just been figur ing so prominently in the divorce court, if one of the most fervent disciples and a constant reader of his writings. He is also a vegeta rian, a teetotaler, and astonish ingly close in money matters. The Prince of Wales is a jolly dort of a fellow and shakes hands promiscuously. Some weeks ago he suffered with a boil under bis arm, which he necessarilly used rather awkwardly. An American to-day noticed tbe embarrassed mode with which his nibs shook bands, and, thinking if a new and proper caper, copied it and brought it home with him. Now "they" all do it.

Prospectors iu Oregon Lave re cently discovered tbe only mine of pure platinum fn existence. Science is never enthusiastic. It hesitates at every step. It doubts and weighs every meve ment. Never put any inirtion of any plan', in the mouth unless it is certainly known to be wholesome. A generous supply of hot, rather strong lemonade, if taken at bed time, will break up a severe cold. The most recent calculation - made by Michelson gives the velocity of light as 180,300 mile per second. Put fresh fish in salted water for half an hour before cooking it. It hardens the fish and improves tbe flavor. The royalties which have cone to charity from the sale of Moody and Sankey's "Gospel Hymns" have aggregated $1,200,000.
