1'OR OltllOON. - J. W. I'lmloii, representing tin Great Northern Railway, win in Cottage Grove this week, and in conversation willi n Nugget man, Hindu mention of I lie fact that this section of Oregon , inclining the Willamette Valley, would prolialdy receive at least ,io,ox eastern people who are now on their way, and arranging to come, this hciisoii. He estimates that a large per cent will make permanent location here providing that they can find what they are looking for in the matter of laud nud get it at prices within their reach and reason, "llut," said Mr. I'lmloii, "the property owners here who have many hun dreds of acres of laud to sell, will make a mistake if lliey adopt the plan which has always been in vogue hete. that of jumping up the piice ns soon as they hear that a lew people in the east ate thinking ol coming here." He says these people are wide awake. They have been studying the country, in some cases for years, and iu many in stances, are well posted on the price of land in the Pacific coast states, and thnt they will not be found paying unreasonable prices for real estate. Heic is a good chance for the owners of some of these laruc farms to cut them up and do something for Oregon. LllCTUKI'. A very interesting discourse was delivered at the.M. E. Church on last Monday night, by the Rev Tout of Eugene on the subject of temperance. Mr. Tout is organizer for the Anil saloon League and is a practical and veiy sensible talker on this question an. 1 his speech has the ring of a fair and reasonable man who finds good iu everything. He says he believes something may be accomplished by effort and the enforcement of law. He does not believe the whole country has gone to the "ilemiuatioii bow wows" simply because the majority of the people license saloons. About 31 names were secured for mem bership in the League. Rltl'INISIII'.D Jenkins and Iuvson have this week completed the refinishiiig of the Cumberland Presbyterian church ol this city. The design Used was seUcted by Mr. J-.'iikius iitid the work is attracting much attention. The celling is piaueled and artistically decorated, while the walls now present a splendid appearance iu a beautifully figured paper. Sliding doors were put in between the auditorium and the class room, and the woodwork re finished in cherry. It is said to be the nicest finished building iu the city on the inside. All it needs now is finishing on the outside. Pinu.ic School. On Friday evening March 14, at Martin's Hall, Dr. Robert C. French of tho Normal training school at Monmouth, will deliver his illus trated lecture on Europe. Mr. French has traveled iu Europe for sixteen months studying and the views were prepared under his di rection. This is pronounced one of the best stcreoplican lectures ever delivered iu the state. The school is in need of dictionaries. ' Come and enjoy an evening in Europe and help your school. Pukciiasicd Cigar Businhss. Last Saturday O. O. McClellen purchased the fixtures and cigar business of A. 11. Atkins. Mr. At kin's son, Byron, who has been in chnrge of the business on the night run, has sectired a position at his trade in his old home, and will leave soon. Mr. Atkins did not feel like running the business alone, hence the sale. Mr. McClellen has had considerable experience in the line and his friends wish him success. In thk Blacksmith Businhss. John V. Miller is again found presiding over the anvil iu his old shop on River street. One of his first pieces of work turned out is a neat horse shoe made of steel and polished which will adorn the bar of the Exchange saloon. Jtetid the Bohemia Xvyyet, J i CY BINGHAM'S NARROW KSCAI'B He Weill (Ji Against The "Real Tiling" For Three Days llcwllilcrcil ami Alone. Cy J. Bingham, who has been a familiar figure in Bohemia for the past three years, and who 1ms a host oi friends in the district ami in Cottage Grove, had an adventure the latter part of last and the first part ol this week, that will be im pressed upon his niemoty to his dy ina day. In company with A. B. Woods, the railroad surveyor, and Bird Farrier, he started out Satur day iiiotuiug 011 a hunt. Mr. Farrier became separated from Messrs. Woods and Bingham early iu the forenoon and returned to the Warehouse, fiom whence they started. About noon Messrs. Woods and Bingham separated in an effort to get their bearings, for their return home. Mr. Woods reached the Warehouse about four o'clock, but Mr. Bingham did not get iu. Sun day seatch was made hut no trace of Cy could be found. Monday morning a phone was received here, announcing the facts, and a phone was sent to I. II. Bingham, brother of Cy, ol Portland, who arrived here that afternoon and iu company with H. V. Behne, started Im mediately for the scene. Monday the mountains were full of miners and woodsmen iu scutch of the miss- 1 ...1 .1... .. ....,!. ..... ilif; ill. Ill, .mil wiicii lliu- r;.i,--in.-i 3 1 reached the Warehouse Monday . iiiglit, tliey reported haunt: lound his tracks in the Lang Lrcck can yon, but were unable to follow them. Tuesday searching parties were sent out iu all directions; and one went up Lang Creek, while another started at the head to come down. Shortly after noon a phone was received at the central office this city, that Mr. Behne had just arrived bearing the news that Mr. Bingham had been found and was alright. wu.Yi u,rrr.riw. Wcilnesdny Mr. Bingham called up a Nugget man on the plume just lo .say "Hello." It seemed good to hear the familiar voice again, and to know that the clever voting mountaineer was iu the laud of ihe living after so thirilliug an ad venture. Mr. Bingham says he lost his bearings immediately after leaving Mr. Woods, and wandered, no one knows where, but iu all probability civer the big ridge into the Johnson Meadows country Here he realised that he was en tirely off and put back and it took him all day Sunday to get back tu his starting point. Then he struck down into the can von to the water eoursi" of Lang Creek. He took this course and although tired and weak, he plodded along down stream witli the only hope that he would hold out until he came to the settlement. He was within about five miles of a rancher's cabin when he was met by the searching party. Mr. Bingham says he was com pletely turned around nud had no idea where he was when he was met by his rescuers. He had been three days without food, but had taken extremely good care of him self having built fires and dried his clothes twice a day and always making a camp at night. This method coupled with his good judgment in staying with the water course and his splendid physi cal strength is what saved him. While building a camp fire he cut his hand badly, but aside from that nud a kind of "tired" feeling, Cy's O. K. and his friends are happy. Runaway. Mr. Hrnest of Latham had the misfortune to have his team run away Monday noon. They were left standing in front of Gale's harness shop, and becoming tired of waiting, started for home. In their dream of home and oats nud baled hay, etc., they increased their speed, nud at Stone's mill they lightened their load by leaving the wagon bed and hind wheels. When last seen they were still hitting the high places near Latham. Enthrtainmicnt. The benefit given at Martin's Halt Wednesday night for the band boys was fairly patronized by the public, with the view of helping the organization. The cause was a worthy one; but the show, well Sir Andrew Clark was accustomed to define old nge ns the period of life at which a man no longer ad justed himself to his environment.
