Chief Lane and the City Fathers are entitled to great credit for what has already been accomplished, and property owners are to be com mended for the willingness they have displayed to respond to the popular desire for civic improve ment. The removal of grass and rubbish from the edges of the walks at the intersection of 2nd and Madi son streets, has added to the ap pearance of our business street as much as would the erection of a three-story brick.

In all sections of the state the crop is in excellent condition and I have no doubt that the coming, crop will be the best that this state has ever produced. Oregon v will have a much larger crop in proportion to the acreage than will the state of California this year; I expect that the' season will open'with quota tions at about 4 cents a pound." T; W. Dilley hasn't the confi denee in the human family he had a few weeks ago," and he has good reasons for his present attitude. Sheriff Burnett has a very fine shotgun, and he sent it to Dilley's to have it cleaned ; and put in good repair for the trap-shooting season. This was about a month ago. A few days later a party called and enquired if Sheriff Burnett's gun was ready. Dilley replied that it was, and the party said he had been sent for it, and proceeded to walk off with the gun without more ceremony. Dilley never suspicion ed that anything was wrong until Mr." Burnett came for his gun. Then he learned that no one had been given authority to take the weapon. The party is known, and it the gun is not forth-coming im mediately, the sheriff wil be after it with a warrant for the arrest of the borrower.

ZJ!'l 1 V., me ucsl muiviauai score in me team shoot The Steel Wizard. B. J. Casterline continues to amaze the crowds who congregate to witness ine many marvelous eats he performs by means of his wonderful method of tempering steel. 1 a t. Cameron, who ac companied Mr. Casterline to Port-. land and is assisting him in the promotion of his discovery, spent Sunday with relatives at home in Corvaliis. He says that Eastern as well as local capitalists have made overtures for an interest in he new process, and government officials have asked that no con tracts be made with private indi viduals until they have opportu nity to investigate. A Portland firm has offered to take $20,000 worth of stock if a company is in corporated, Sample tools 1 and specimens 01 Mr. rrri . -s work have been sent t Y- - f ton, and a represent x& - a large Eastern cuttlery jiiouac uas forwarded clippings from the newspapers and other information to his employers. So it appears that Mr. Caster line has only to be careful to be come indeoendentlv rich. arranged to take place yesterday. A representative of a large con cern . that makes burglar-prool safes that are guaranteed to resist any drill, offered Mr. Casterline! $100 if he could drill a hole through the metal used in his safe, and $1,000 -for the bit used in doing it. The Steel Wizard, as he is called in Portland, ac cepted the challenge and in less than a - half hour, had a hole through the safe metal. The as tonished seller of safes quibbled over the form of the bit, but re newed the offer if Mr. Casterline would male a twisted bit that would do the work. This prop osition was accepted and the trial was made yesterday. Narrowly Escaped Death. Michael Flinn, one of the own ers of, the Benton County Saw mill, narrowly escaped death in the woods near the mill, 14 miles southeast of Corvaliis, last Sat urday morning. Mr. Flinn was in charge of the logging crew which was engaged in placing logs' in a chute leading to the mill. A monster log caught as it started down the chute and one end swung around, striking one of the small timbers forming the side ot the runway. This flew from- its fastenings and struck Mr. Flinn a terrible blow across the back of the neck and shoul ders, knocking him fifteen feet down the hill. He was insensible when pick ed up and remained so for nearly two hours. Dr. Newth, of Philo math, and Dr. Pernot, of this city, were called by phone. Mr. Flinn had "regained consciousness sufficiently to recognize Dr. Per not when he reached his bedside, but he remained in a semi-stupor all day. A message received in Corral is yesterday stated that Mr. Flinn was improving, and as no bones were broken or fractures suffered, it is hoped that his re covery will be rapid. Would not Build Bridge. At an adjourned term of com missioners' court, held Tune 1 6th, the following business was transacted: . In the matter of the petition of as. Martin, et al, for a draw bridge at Liverpool, the court with Frank J. Miller, bridge ex pert, visitea tne site ot tne pro posed bridge at said place, and decided that such a bridge would be very expensive and would not ustify the expenditure at this time. The petition was denied. C. Read was allowed and paid $20.51 for road work, and W. M. Clark was allowed $96 for road work in district No. 8. , John Gilman having complet ed the work on Oliver hill road as per contract, a warrant for $25 was ordered drawn in his favor, being the balance due on the con tract price. Broke an Artery. Mrs. Minnie Washburne re ceived word yesterday from Cor valiis that her son. Chester, had been quite seriously injured about one week ago and wasat present under a doctor's care in Corvaliis, but would be moved home some time next week. Chester left Eugene a little less than a month ago on a geological snrvey and was located on Marys eak, south of Corvaliis. About a week ago the earth on the side of the mountain ffave wav and he fell, breaking an artery in his eg. He was alone and the nearest ranch was nine miles away and and as he states, with the use of only one leg, he "kicked" him self along to this ranch and was taken from there to Corvaliis. For a week, on account of in animation in his leg, he was quite a sick young man. -Eugene register. If you desire a tcood comolexion. use Moki Tea, a pure herb drink.
