music was enjoyed by all, after which
they repaired to the dining hall where
there was as grand a sapper as any one
could wish and if anyone went away
hungry it was their own fault as there
was plenty to spare after all had been
served. The camp has some as good
cooks as there is any place in the state,
which is saying a good deal.
The farmers have been making good

with their spring plowing for his season

and Jica Lamb with six hounds went
over north of Brownsville to lid that re
gion of coyotes, that have beau living on
the flocks of the lcothills this winter.
Unfortunately some other parties with
less skill than the Benton County men
had scattered the wolves a few days be
fore. Had the fields been clear our men
would doubtless have made a profit
able chase as they had an offer of $20 a
scalp, and with their trained dogs and
trusted rifles they capture the most wily
wolves. '
Westward the course of empire takes
its way. Last Saturday a family from
east of Albany whose name defies the
English language, sojourned in Bellfoun
tain, bought a pair or two of rubber
boots and with about a dozen cattle and
a coveted wagon drawn by an honest
looking team, pi on tied off Sunday morn,
ing in a driving rain through the mud
and mountains for Lower Alsea.
The tax list for this precinct hangs
high on the wall of the store. One has
only to wait a short time to hear all kinds
of complaints. Most every man who
comes in, steps up and reads the whole
list, and then proceeds to express his
conyictions to what has aready been
said. Some blame the sheriff; more
blame the legislation; and nearly all
comment on the assessor with great free
dom ; some greatly surprised aBd not a
little pleased to know how valuable their
property is getting to be. There are
some expressions of donbt as to why tax
es should be so high. Of course there
are somethings -hard to be understood".
