Davis, Manager. The steamer "Queen of the Pacific" struck a rock while entering Port liar ford last Monday morning, and soon after sank. The crew and passengers left in boats, and were all landed safe lv. The steamer was valued at .lOO, 000. Chrisman it Fisher, of the Sand Ridge, passed through, on Wednesday, "on root" to Goose creek with a herd of about sixty cows, most of which had calves by the side of them. They pro pose to cream-S the country with but ter and cheese. That feeling of weariness, so often experienced in the spring, results fiotn a sluggish condition of the blood which, being impure, does not quicken with the changing season. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, by vitalizing and cleans ing the blood, strengthens and invig orates the system. The Lafayette Jlegisler contains the startling inte'ligenee that "A couple of dog tights occurred this week." Well, you can beat us on dog fighlw, but not when it comes to cats; no less than 180 cat lights have occurred here dur ing the last week. Most of them on the loof of our sanctum. Wo are requested by the county court to say to those whose names ap pear on the delinquent tax list, who have receipts to show that they have paid, to bring in the same and get the proper credits. In that way the court will be able to collect the amount from the officials whose negligence caused the mistake to be made. The linker City Democrat warms up E. S. MoComas for trying to palm oil' on the unsophisticated Chicago capi talists, as desirable residence property, a worthless tract of land near Baker City, which is utilized fora graveyard. That's all right. No doubt Mac. thinks it would make a very nice residence after they arc dead. Let'r boom. King O'Malky, the temperance lec turer, turns out to be a rascal of the first water, and has been fired by the insurance company ho was represent ing while here. Nature invariably places on a man's countenance an in dex to his character, and if people arc too stupid to read it aiight, they some times suffer. They have no one to blame but themselves. Mr. L. E. Davie, who recently brought 0 fine Clydesdale stallions to this city, from London, Canada, is highly pleased with our town, our farmers and stockmen, and everything ho has seen while here. Ho says be placed his horses on exhibition at Ha ker City for several weeks without Felling one, then he brought them hero and disposed of all of them in about a week. He concludes that our Union stockmen know a good thing when they see it; and aro solid enough, financially, to buy what they want. Ho sold 2 of the animals to G. W. Ames, :i to Fred Nodiue, 1 to J. P. Smith, and 2 to Kobt. Shaw. Union county can thow a numberof very fine horses irt a year or two. The Henrietta mills at Echo, Uma tilla countv, were burned hut Monday night about one o'clock. There i now nothing left of the largo mill and its contents but a heap of blackened ruins and charred wheat. '1 he mill was erected two vears ago by Mr. Koonlz. j It is supposed the fire startod from a spark blown from the engine as it wont Knot about miilnight I ho null was valued at about .f.OOO .

Editou Scott: Being engaged in investigating cer tain land titles, 1 hnve visited and ex amined the records in sixteen counties in Oregon since February 1st thisyear, and I take pleasure in faying that the ollicc and records of Union county are as well kept a? any in the Slate so far visited, and better than many. 1 completed my labors hero in three hours, whereas the same required aa many days in fome place. The Board of Commissioners arc often to be blamed for a failure to furnish clerks necessary appliances; but the clerk of Union county has ceitainly made the most of what he had at hand and has consulted neatness, correctness of method and convenience. I). P. Bai.uuui, Attorney at Jaw. CORRECT LAND DECISION. Settlers in a new country are not al ways forehanded enough to improve and cultivate homestead and pre-emption claims as they would like, and many men who locate land have to work to earn money to live and im prove with. This makes the recent decision of the secretary or the interior important, where he overrules a decis ion of the commissioner against a man because he had not lived continuously on the land. It was shown that he did reside there, not being absent six months, and wax away to earn money that was spent for his liing and to im prove his land. So his residence was decided to bo sufficient. THE PHEASANT NUISANCE. The Mongolian pheasants are spread ing out over tho valley and aro now plentiful around Corvallis. The Urn- ton header says : " 1 liey can lie seen in the fields from the road and aro con- picuous by reason of their bright plumage. If Ibev increase for a few years longer with as much rapidity as within the past two years, there will will be a bounty offered for their scalps.' i neie neeti no no lear nnoiu ihese birds increasing after tho law' ceases to protect them. Their bright plumage will make them easy victims to the hunter, and We all know that death loves a shining mark. WOXIIIIKFW, cim:i:s. W. D.

EIRE THE GROWLER. When you hear a man speak dispar agingly of the country, you know ho is not telling the truth, because if it was as bad as ho would have, it he would emigrate to a more congenial clime. Put it is very disgusting to hear a per son who is dependent upon the public, for support always decrying tho merits of the town or country. He should bo made to pick up bin blankets and leave.
