A letter to this office from Mr. Horcourt, who was in Cottage Grove last week, conveys the in formation that he is meeting with unexampled success in raising funds to advertise the Southern Oregon mines in "Oregon's Re sources," a pamphlet to be pub llahcd for free distribution at the Pan-American Imposition. In the letter he says: "I do most sincere ly hope that Cottage Grove will look at the niattcr with different eyes from those I found when there the other day. Surely the community can not afford to neg lect this opportunity of portraying its advantages to so ninny tlious- nuds of those who will visit liuffalo the coming summer," WIM.

They already have a tunnel driven 115 feet on this property which shows n well defined six foot ledge, assay ing $58.50 per ton, and they will . now start a new tunnel 250 feet be low for the purpose of getting greater depth, and no doubt greater values. They will drive this new tlinnel 300 feet. It is expected they will get their freight and supplies into camp by the lnt part of this week and will immedi lntcly thereafter bigin the work This- property is adjoining- th; NlMradise claim recently purchased , ly Mr. Geo.

It is said bv parties who witnessed his rapid de scent that he rolled nearly fifty feet when he fell. He was severely cut just above the left eye blow, by coming in contact with a sharp rock or snag.

The members of Juvenilis Lodge No. 48, Knights of Pythias, will have occasion to lehienibcr Inst Wednesday night for a long time, as it was made one of the plciisnutcst evenings in the history of the lodge. Arrangements had been made to do work in cacli of the tlireo ranks, nud in consideration thereof invita tions were scut out to Eugene, Drain nud Roscbttig lodges to be present. Knch lodge was represented Drain even responding by bringing along a candidate conferring' the honor of initiation upon Juvcutus lodge. A neat spread wns arranged for awi during the evening the members and visiting brcthcru did justice to it, and all pronounced the events of the evening well worthy of atten dance. Another happy feature of the evening was the presence of a dis tinguished guest Robt.T. Hale, Past Grand Chancclor of the State of New York, who is now traveling in the interest of the Pythian Voice, published at Kansas city. Missouri, which is exclusively devoted to the K. of P. work. Brother Hale is not only a fluent speaker but he is a I'ythinn brother from crown to feet and when he speaks upon subjects pertaining to his beloved order he warms the heart of every man in hearing of his voice, carrying con viction with' every word uttered. Visiting members present were: P. G. C., Hale, of New York; Knight Gahriclson, Salem; Knights Yoron, Dunbar, Winter, Brady, Holdcit, Holden, Vincent, Hush- nell, Nicklcn, Frakcs, and Pisk, of Eugene. Knights Kent, Spauld ing, Schapers, Koberts, Fegles, Applcgatc, Clements, Looncy, and Kuykeudall, of Drain. HARD I.UCK. A member of the hobo element had hard luck "in procurinir his morning "feed" in Cottage Grove Tuesday morning. A Nugget man watched him shamble up to the kitchen door of five diffierent resi dences in succession, and as many times he was given the "marble heart;' and whenjast .seen he bad not been able to satisfy the toner man. He was a typical hobo, fairly well dressed in clothes some of which may have been borrowed for me occasion, lie would blip up always on the oil side of the house, avoiding walks as much ns possible and when it wns convenient in the mutter of saving steps would jump the fence instead of going n little farther and entering the gateway. He would tap softly at the kitchen door and upon response from the occupant of the house, seemed to forget to ask for work but met the inquiring face with this stereotyped sentence: "Please mum, can't you give a hungry man a bite to eat?" Pive times in succession he went away without touching a heart, and more than likely his idea of charity of the human soul received a crush ing shock. Another noticeable thing abaut themethod of this rep resentative of trampdom was his disregard for lawns nud inclination to leave front. gates open. If tramps were given the discouragement tendered this one, a good per cent of this class of humanity might be induced to go to work. KII.UtD A QOUGltU. Messrs Felix Currin and the Mos- by brothers brought tb town Sun day afternoon a cougcr which they had captured near the Currin farm east of this city. In the chase the varmint was wounded in the foot and captured alive. The hunters roped him and started to town with him, intending to turn him loose with the dogs and treat the town people to a real conger fight, but he was tied so .tightly that he was choked to death bringing him in. Dr. Job purchased the animal with the-view of making a rug of the skin. A RUN OV l'BVBR.
