y Several causes tend to make naviga
tion on the Upj?r Willamette much
Letter than usual the present year. The
wine dams constructed last tall have
moved permanent, and have greatly
helped the river to improve its own
channel, so that Union Bar, fifteen
miles below Salem, and Lone Tree
bar e-ht miles below here, that used
to be tue " sticking points" below Sa
lem are now easily passed. It is be
lieved that the construction of winded
dams in the river will tend to conline
the river to a permanent channel, and
ho cause it to improve gradually year
after vear by its own action. Such is
the experience with work already done.
Another fact favorable to navigation is
the construction of light draft steam
boats that agree better with the low
sta"e of water common to summer and
fa if than those commonly in use. We
allude to the City of Salem, Bonanza
ami Ohio. Mr. Paquet says lie can see
no reason why the river cannot be
made navigable at low water as far up
ns the main stream, six miles below
Eugene, and believes the cxjenditure
of ?liW,0H) in judicious improvements,
with some repairs affected yearly
thereafter at a trilling expense, would
accomplish this most desirable result.
Caught in a Trap. As our reporter
was wending his way homeward last
Monday night, he saw somebody
climbing into a window. His mind pic
tured burglars, and he was preparing
to make goo J time tor sate quarters.
(as lie is not noted for his bravery) but
lust at ims moment mo winuow came
down with a rush, and the mysterious
personage was cauirht in its tender em
brace, with his feet on one side and
head on the other. Our ret orter, now
h brave as a lion, rushed hurriedly to
the scene, with two pistols and a big
butcher knife, and demanded the cause
of such conduct. But picture his sur
prise when he saw the placiu counte
nance of one of our city's gay beaux,
who had been locked out by his land
lady, and was trying to g t into his
room through tlie window. Our ie-
portcr raised the window for the ynun
man, and allowed him to escape from
the critical ixjsition. Let this ho a
warning to that young man to not stay
out so 'late when visiting his dulcina,
or else make arrangements with th
landlady to leave the door unlocked.

An individual with his coat and hat
turned wrong side out attracted con
siderable attention last Monday eve
ning, on Main street. Many were the
conjectures as t whether it "was Sitting
Bull or one of the d.iring safj burglars
0in disguise. On clikMs examination we

Another Acci pent. While engaged
in repairing the factorj' Hume, last
Sunday, Mr. Louis Jaggars received a
severe cut in the thiurh. Ho was stand

Q
Caft. Z. C. Norton's residence, at
Norton's post office, in this county,
caught fire last week, by sparks from
the chimney dropping on the dry roof.
Before it had obtained much headway
it was extinguished, by the exertion's
of Mrs. Norton, assisted by a hired
girl. Mrs. Norton was severely cut on
the arm by putting it through a win
