New York, Aug. 13. A Morgan
linor just in fn ni Galveston brought
a boy of eloveu yours, and small for
bis Hue, that the steamer picked up
off the Cuban coast iu a most de
plorable condition.
It is a most pathetic case. Tho boy
says he and two companions were
fishing from a boaUotf Havana when
the boat was swamped. His two older
companions swam ashoro and not
boing able to swim ho had no ehoieo
but to remain with tho boat, drift
ing flvo days as near as ho could keep
account, and all this timo without
food or water.
Captain" Morgan of the liner thinks
the boy must have been adrift ten
days as tho place he was picked up is

Solia, Bulgaria, Aug. 13. Turkish
insurgents are daily becoming more
fearless in their aggressions. They
to court publicity instead of
attempting to conceal their hostility
to the government for the protection
it seeks to givo Christian subjects.
There are gravo fears of a nia-8icre
of Christians, tho apprehension
among the unprotected people of that
faith increasing daily.

It has been a celebrated case. Mor

ENLARGING
DEPOT YARDS
Southern Pacilic Co. Purchased
Lots from F. L. Chambers
.-Option on Others.
A deed conveying about two lots
at West Third and Linco'n streets.
north of the railroad anil immediately
east of tho Eugene Planing Mill Com
pany's plant, from F. L. Chambers
to tho Oregon .v California Raili-uud
Company, Southern Pacilic Com
pany lessee, was recorded iu the
county clerk's otltco today.
This moans the extension of the
railroad company's depot yards iu
this city to the west for a distanco of
nearly a block and is in Hue with the
extensive improvements to be made
in tho yards, as heretofore announced
by the liuard.
Uetween these lots just acquired by
tho company and tho western lino of
tho depot yard is another lot owned
by R. MeMurphey, but the company
has an option on it, tho tittard is
informed, and tho transfer will prub-
ibly be made in a short timo.
THE Y A 1! D IMPROVEMENTS.
Tho Cunt'd has known for a cer-
taiuty that extensive improvements
were to bo made iu tho yards, and
prominent olllcials have given out
information to that etrect, but they
have been very retieont iu stating
when this work will be done. Some
time ago it was announced that tho
warehouses on ttiis side of the tracks
wore to have been moved to tho other
side right away and contracts wero let
for moving them, but for some rea
son tho work has not been done, and
it was supposed by many that tho im
provements were postponed, but the
purchase of these additional lots, by
the company, gives riso to the belief
that the work on tho yards will bo
ommenced this fall.
When tho big bridgo across the
Willametto at Springlleld is built and
the connecting link between tho main
lino and the Woudling blanch ia fin
ished, considerable moro yard room
will bo necessary to ptovido terminal
facilities hero, hence tho urchaso of
this additional strip of land.

Note and Comment.
John Paul Jones, Traveling Pas
senger Agent of tho Southern Pacilic
Company, is rapidly becoming fa
mous for his Ilermi nnesque hand
shake. Whenever an acquaintance
sees him Ills arm couinieiicos advanc
ing Involuntarily and a good long
shako ensues. Too bad John is not
u politician.
Another sad reminder of the irony
of fnto comes liome to us as we read
of the sudden death of O. S. Monger,
hundreds of miles from homo and hie
family TO miles from a telegraph sta
tion. Whou this is read the bereaved
wife and flvo sons are probably just
hearing "io news iu Eastern Oregon
of tho demise of husband and fathor
which happened Tuesday morning.
Tho Register may have all the glury
out of tho boast ma.'.e in its half page
advertisement of itself that it is "The
only paper in Eugene boasting a
clean-cut, paid circulation." Noth
ing to boast about.
Fivo yoars ago today Manila surren
dered to til!) American aimy and
niivy. It marked tho beginning of
the jealousy of tho Filipinos and the
war witli tho insurgents broko-out
uhiirllv afterward. With many of
our young men the anniversary lias
a more vivid meaning than mere
history can Impart.
No other order or lodge has the sad
ilnlv nf ntfcndillil SO lllllll V funerals
as tho U. A. R. Posts of tho country.
Vever a week goes by, even In a state
so snarsclv settled as Oregon, with
out tho record of death being made
ommsite tho mime of somo respected
soldier who fought his country's
battles when b youth. And the fun
erals will grow mom and moro fre
quent as llin years roll on.

Roseburg Lost.
At Marshfleld Tuesday afternoon,
tho Coos Ray league baseball team
of that city defeated the Rosohurg
club by a score of 3 to 2. Hostel
occupied the box for Rosoburg and
tho gamo lasted 10 innings. Not
run was mado on either Bide until tho
ninth inning. Rusoburg made two
runs iu her half and an error by
Kostal allowed Marshfleld to tlo the
score iu tho remaining half of
the Inning. Marshlleld won the
game iu tho next Inning by shutting
out Rosohurg and Bonding a man
across the plate. This shows that tho
Coob Ray and Valley league teams aro
pretty evenly matched.
