Sonic dissatisfaction has licdn
manifested by the "young bloods"
of town hcctiusc tlie Nugget disap
proved of the IiokkIhIiiichm mid
cold-blooded disposition on their
part, to monopolize the floor on the
occasion of a recent dance instead
of praising their cfTorts. If these
yotttig people were as quick to re
alize their selfishness and lack of
courtesy to invited gtiests when the
dnncc is on as they arc to resent
n fancied grievance when their
shortcomings arc pointed out, there
might be some hope that their
social gatherings would be more
numerously patronized. It has often
been asked why these dances have
not been more generally attractive,
niul the non-attendance has been
attributed to nil causes but the right
onc-jrsclfishuess. If some of these
young folks would think less of
self nu d cultivate a spirit of gener
osity to the extent that they would
reasonably exert themselves for the
pleasure of their guests, their
parties would be an enjoyment
eagerly looked forward to by the
Kcucrnl public, but if the past is to
be the rule in the future tlieir little

The season of festivities is now
almost at hand, and with proper
regard for the rights of all the sea
son of gaiety can be made most en
joyable. It is to be regretted that
those young men for whose benefit
the article was written arc too ob
tuse to reach, while a few who are
very sensitive and alvvayscouiteous
and kind tdok to heart thestricturcs

be comforted, for their good example

more selfish and less sensitive
brothers.
Hakk, thk Hiici.it Calls.
Last Saturday evening the shrill
notes of the bugle welled out upon
the air and brought together upon
main street many of the old and
young soldier who are now fol
lowing peaceful pursuits in this
flourishing burg. Harvey .Scott
ofCrcswell, the crack bugler of
Company C of the Second Oregon
regiment, was in town, and as he
lld not- have time tojin'ake separate
calls on his old friends, picked up
an .old buglctthat had seen service
hi ihe Philiipiucri and now owned
alid kept as a souvenir by Dell Mor
gan, and sounded the rcl y call, and
like magic the boys began to j ather
until he could greet them all in a
blliich. Harvey played the old
bugle for an hour to the delectation
of his old comrades and then
sounded taps.
Cirr Auout 33 Ykaks Ago.
Burn Veatch brought to this of
iide an Alder stick taken from his
Wood pile which, when split open,
disclosed a perfect letter 13 that had
jjeen cut into the bark over thirty
three years ago and, like a brand,
it shows plainly through the growth
of all those years for over two
inches of solid wood. The tree from
which it was taken stood in Latham
about 40 feet from the old school
house which was built about the
year 1855. Many lads who at
tended that school in the early days
used to carve the initials of their
names in the bark of that old tree,
and this one after the lapse of
over a decade and a half is as per
fect as the day it was cut. Nature
is gifted with many freaks and this
surely is an odd one.
Tint Old Soldihus' Banqukt.
Last Saturday a goodly number
of the old veterans came together
in the hall of Ord Post, G. A. R.,
and were feasted by the ladies'
Circle. It was indeed a feast and
when all had eaten their fill there
was still enough left to feed a host.
The ladies did themselves proud
and the old soldiers a heap of good.
Everything from chicken to pie was
just like mother used to make and
how good it did all taste. For
some of the old boys that may he
their last spread and it is well that
they derived so much'pleasure from
it. There was a unit of expressions
of thanks to the ladies out all said
Cod bjess them,

Through the unltroi'ug efforts of
I''orcinau A. N. Strykcr and his
able assistants, who have worked
under nil sorts of disadvantages,
the bridge over the Const Fork that
spans that noblefltrcatu between the
east and west side of town, is now
in good condition for at least
another year. When the approaches
to the bridge were uncovered the
framework was found to be in a
most wretched state, and the work
of repairing was begun 1:011 : toosoo .
New stringers, uprights, bents and
planking have been provided, and
the structure for a lime will be safe
for all kinds of travel. The city
furnished lumber and Mr. Stryker
has built on the north side of the
bridge a substantial loot path so
that now women and children can
cross without endangering life and
limb, and taken all in all it isa good
job well done. The bridge force go
from here to repair the approaches
to the steel bridge that spans the
Willamette at Springfield.

Last Tuesday afternooif' while
Mrs. Handy was visiting Mrs. Kd
Turpcii, they heard a commotion
among their fowls, and on rushing
out to see what the trouble was
saw a large mountain hawk in a
desperate fight with a grown hen,
and seeing there was no time to
loose the ladies armed themselves
with clubs and ran to the hens
rescue. Mrs. Turpeu was in the
lead, and after quite an exciting
time succeeded in killing the hawk
which measured 42 inches from tip
to tip. Hy this time Mrs. Handy
came up and set her foot firmly up
on the hawk's head to make sure
it was dead.
A Hi; au Hunt.
Last Sunday sixteen of the
residents who dwell on and around
the ridge between the Siuslaw, Silk
Creek and the Divide formed them
selves into small parties and sought
to surround a number of bear that
have for some time been making
inroads on the sheep and young
stock of that locality. The country
for miles around were scoured- by
the hunters and only two long-dis
tance shots were had nt a monstrous
big black bear. Night came on and
the hunters sought their homes
tired and hungry, and the bears
will still continue to fatten on their
flocks.

A Phuttv Sight.
Since the recent rains the waters
in the Coast Fgrkhave raised quite
