Matters seem to be at a standstill
concerning the proposed illustrated
pamphlet of Benton county intend
ed for circulation in the East. The

priated $100 to assist the enterprise.
Abou, $2C0 additional is needed.
Little difficult' should be exper
fenced in raising this amouut. To

from advertising this season, no
time is to be lest in getting these
pamphlets in circulation.

Citizons of tiia eity of Salem are again
being troubled by hold-up men and burg

experience ot Mrs. J. W. Lewis, formerly
of Corvallis.with. a bold highwayman:
"The date of the attempted hold-up
was a week 'ago last Saturday night, and
the place, Ohetueketa street, a short dis
tance east of the Catholic church.
"It was about 8 o'clock-ia the eveinng,
and Mrs. Lewis had started dswn town
to call -oa. relatives, aad when nearing
the Catholic church was accosted by a
man, who demanded nfoney. of her. She
requested hinrto leave her and attend .to
his own business, aud; started to walk
briskly on, while the woujd-be robber
continued te walk beside her
"When nearing the corner at Cottage
street, a gentleman was seen on the oppo
site side of the street, riding a wheel, and
Mrs. Lewis informed her unwelcome
companion that if he did not leave her
she would scream for assistance.
"This threat had the desired 'effecf,
and upon reaching the corner where the
vicinity was lighted "up by an arc lamp,
he left her and walked rapidly away.
The lady was badly frightened by her
encounter with the wretch, and since has
been seriously ill in consequence of the
experience .''

Letters received in Albany from Con

petition of Linn county people will be
granted and the examination of those
people who have taken up timber claim3
in Klamath county will be held at their
homes, instead of at the land office
where the entries were filed. Congress
man Tongue said there was nothing to
fear if the parties who had made the en
tries had sufficient means to take up the
land without assistance. He further
said that the object was not to deprive
Linn county-men of their property, but
to prevent Eastern capitalists from secur
ing the land through loans made to Ore
gon people. Information has been re
ceived at Washington that Eaalern lum
ber men were obtaining large tracts in
