OREGON NEWS AND NOTES.
A. R. Shipley, of Oswego, has
been appointed acting Master of the
Oregon state grange during the absence
of V'm. Cyrus at the national grange,
which meets at Cincinnati, on the 21st
of November.
The Standard says that there is
a large number of unemployed men
in Portland seeking for work. If
they would go out into tlie country
and take contracts of clearing up farms
so that fanners could afford to have
the work done, they could get all tlie
work they want.
Hardin Nolan, who eloped with
the wife of his cousin in Washington
couiviy last summer and was captured
in Astoria, pleaded guilty at the pres
ent term of the Circuit court, in Mult
nomah county and found guilty of
adultery and sentenced to the peni
tentiary. The Yamhill Reporter says: all
kinds of fruit and vegetables may be
seen, almost any day, in almost any
stage of growth. In one garden near
here are potato vines bearing blossoms
as well as fully matured potatoes; in
another we find blackberries ripe and
luscious besides blossoms and green
berries, while almost any of our farm
er's orchards will show numerous ex
hibits of the same kind among apples.
Has the vegetable instinct predicted
that our moderate seasons are going
to be perpetual, or what are they try
ing to do?
The Hillsboro Independent says:
1-1,000 bushels of wheat, stored in the
Hillsboro warehouse company's build
ing was brought last Monday by L. L.
Williams for $1 10 h per bushel with
sacks. The price has dropped since to
1 1G1 17. Harrison Humphreys,
who now lives near Scholls ferry, says
a man in that neighborhood hauled a
load of wheat to Portland this week
and sold it for 1 25 without eacks,
and another man from the same neigh
borhood hauled his in the same day
sold it for 1 23. So it would ap
pear that wheat has not declined at
Portland.
Among those who suffered from
pickpockets at the State fair, were
Hon. Hiram Smith, $15; Mr. Dufur,'
120; It. Imbrie, $1S0; Tom Morgan,
a 250 gold watch; Mr. Beck of Port
land, 11;- Geo. Ooggins of Portland,
100. It is said that Coggins pulled
out his money and boasted that the
scalawags could not get it and before
a half hour they had it. They also
captured Mr. Perkins of Yamhill by
selling liini a buggy, in a wagen shop,
while the owner was out, and took his
check on a bank in Portland for 1,500
paj'ing him the difference and then got
him into a little game and captured
check, money and all, but payment on
the check was stopped by the bank.
The McGibony family were ad
vertised o sing in Grass Yalley, Cali

A number of old cast iron carron
ades, which have for many years been
regarded as obsolete and unserviceable,

A Swedish Moody, a young man
of 24:, E. A. Skosberg, by name, has
been conducting a series of most sue-

He is said to be a speaker much like
Moody, simple, earnest and eloquent,
of fine personal appearance, and a
giftsd singer as well.
The rapidity with which the Ger
mans adopt every improvement in
means and methods of warfare is
shown by the fact that all the guns
carried by the sliips of the Cerman

on the shores of Germany, are breech

cisco possesses an interesting relic in
the shape r f an onyx snuff-box, lined
with gold and bearing on tha lid a
mosaic representing a landscape three
inches long, and consisting of 9,000
pieces of stone, so artistically put to
gether as to resemble a delicately
finished picture on ivory. The box
was presented by the Empress Jose

gave it to Dr. Colo. '
Another turf scandal lias occurred
in France. At the Lyons races, Daron
de Roehetaiilee, ruling his own horse
Compere, was observed palpably to be
pulling him hard ten yards from the
post. Ho was hooted on tlie . course
by the losers of bets. The Lyons
racing committee holding the meeting
interdicted him from running horses
for ono year. This comparatively
ciomsiy; senten.ee is grounded on the
fact that he had no bets against his
horse, -but wished 'not to win so that
Compere might not have to carry extra
weight m a coming race for wluch he
was entered.
At Kanthlai, Ceylon there is a
magnificent tank on a scale so enor
mous that it would cost more than live
million dollars to erect it. Jt was con
structed about A. D. 275. Still more
remarkable is the great store tank of
Kalowewa. Its circumference is sup
posed to have been hardly less than
thirty miles, and it was kept full by
two rivers. Channels extended from
it over fifty nles, which conveyed an
unfailing supply of water to certain,
large store tanks and thence to minor
village tanks. The Ceylon govern
ment propose to gradually restore
many of these great works. Heie
we see -how the ancients prevented
famines.
