Wo would like to call attention
of our readers to tha tact that
it is now no looser a Question as
to the possiblity of transporting by
boat everything in the way of
freight that our people may re
quire, from a box of matches to a
ton c. salt; pr from a box of eggs
to tons of . grain. The Steamer
City of Eugene recently built and
put on. the river by a few enter
prising citixens - of Eugene - and
vicinity, ' has demontirated this
fact beyond controversy.
Since . it started ' it ha made
its trips to Portland, and return
twice a weak regularly having full
cargoes each way including way
points, where it discharged and
took on freight. It has thus shown
that it is capable of affording
competition to the railroad, and
thus breaking a monopoly
under which oar people hare
groaned for years. It cannot be
forgotten that for several years
onr merchants and others who had
freight to le brought to Eugene
have - often had to employ team
sters to haul jt from Harnsburz
and Corvallia in order to avoid
the exorbitant exactions of the
S. P. road. A mean by - which
the farmer, and bosineas people
of the upper valley have lone
been Bought by which they could
get relief from this condition.
This ia now found. An oven
river- and boat like the City of
Eugene to ply upon it wCl knock
the ' railroad monopoly into
smithereens on most articlra of
freight. It has always been the
case with an open river.
What every one wants to do
is to support our boat Keep it
running. Do this in the assurance
that by, "easting your bread upon
the waters after many year you
shall gather it up."

March 18, itV.
To the Bread-Axe:
. -Since. nv last-rtic.e to your
valued paper I have participated
in one battle and one engagement.
Upon the eve of March 1st one of
out outpost was attacked and one
bettaltion was called out and we
engaged the enemy for nearly one
hour. A fur aome hard fighting we
isuoeaeded in driving the enemy
back about two miles, it then being
too dark to see the enemies' smoke,
we retreated' with a loaa of two
men. It .has been indirectly re
ported that the insurgent loaa
was about thirty-fire killed and
wounded. .
Upou March 18th we experienced
the heaviey battle of the campaign.
At 1 p. nL a call to arms wa
sounded. lu a few minute we
were under arms and being joined
by three piece of artillery we
started out to eegage the enemy.
Failing to engage the enemy uion
the west of the river, we crossed
over to the east side when we were
soon under fire. We were now
joined by two more pieces of ar
tillery. Our two three iaeh guns
began shelling the enemies' fortifi
cation near the edge of a piece of
timber, about .eighteen hundred
yards distant. At the same time
the 1st battalion 18lh U S in
fantry began to advance against
the enemy who wa keeping up a
continuoas long range firing. The
firing line consisted of the follow
ing companies; K Co occapied the
extreme right, a detachment of
twenty-four men from II Co to
their left, next was U Co with I Co
to the extreme, left, C and R CVs
being in the reserve. We deployed
behind a sugar cans field. After
firing a few volleys into the cane to
clear it ol the enemy we advanced
through to the other side, when K
Co was ordered company half left
turn, doable time.
Arriving upon the line we were
commanded to lie down and com
meac firing at a distance of eight
hundred yards. Volley after volley
was fired while the companies to
our left moved forward, and as
they took up the firinc we ail
vauoed k the right oblique giving
across fire while the other com
panies moved straight ahead. We
soon found ourselves under a gal
ling fire from three different
directions; one from the fortified
post against which we were march
ing; one from the right oblique
about eight hundred yards distant;
one from the left oblique about
eighteen hundred yards distant
The bullets Ml like bail around us.
In the 'meantime our three inch
guns were doing some good work
against the enemies intrenchment.
The enemy leaving a few men in
their trenches to keep up tha cross
fire from our right oblique began
moving'a body in a flanking move
ment against K Co. To checkmate
the movement General Miller
dispatched one Hotchkias and one
Oattling guns supported by C Co
to our rear and right where they
rooted the flanking party and
drove then back. With bayonets
fixed we charged the enemies in
trencbaents and captured their
port, together with several killed
snd wounded Khakiaks. Several
hate and articles of -fearing apparel
were left behind by tha fleeing
men- - .-... a ,
After routing the enemy from
the center Vt the firing line ex
ecuted a left turn and a dash was
made toward the Intrenchmcnte to
the left, where w did some hard
fighting. We waded through a
swampy cane field, Where the
ground was very rough. Wa would
take ono step upon solid ground
nd perhaps the next atep would
be in water knee deep,
The firing waa now done mostly
at will, and so continuous was the
fire that our rifles got so hot that
wa did not dara touch the barrel
W could handle them only by
grasping them by the wood parte.
Several of the boys bay blistered
hands and. wrists from carelsesly
touching the barrels. I dropped
my gun more than once, when I
would forget myself and grasp the
barrel instead of the stock.
When within about four hundred
yards of the enemies breastworks,
wa rsn short of ammunition and as
the ground would not admit of the
ammunition wagon being brought
up, we retreated for the day aa it
wn thn.fi't rxwinr, il'irk. I
fired over, two hundred rounds of
ammunition ia leas than three
hours whirh was mere than one
shot per minute. When -the, roll!
was called that night it was learned
that we had lost two men and
mnetren-wouudod.
There are no, wagons here and
all the hauling ia done upon two
wheeled carts and drawn by water
buffaloes. The artillery also havs
a few buffaloes to haul their three
inch guns and caisson.
l Our sugar breastworks
melted and w had to replace them
with sacks of earth. Q

Ia Memoriam.
Mrs. Ella Officer died at the
St. Vincint hospital in Portland,
on February 23, 1300, agod 23
years, on month and one day.
Deceased waa a daughter of Mr.
Mrs. James Calloway and on
November 27, J8WS was married
to Mr. Courtney Officer, of Linn
county with every prospect of a
long and happy life. But the
cold finger of death cam too soon,
striking out this fair young life,
leaving a once happy home deso
late. A loving husband, father,
mother, four brothers, one sister
and a host of sorrowing friends
mourn her untimely domlse.
The funeral occurred from the
residence of Mr. .Mrs. John Robert,
of Eugene, to the cemetery. Ser
vices were conducted by Rev.
M. L. Rose, pastor of the First
Christian church of Eugene. With
tender hands Ella was laid to
rest on the 2.1lh, in the Mulkey
cemetery surrounded by a large
concourse of relatives and friends.
Fittingly may it be said that a
true and noble sister has gone.
But the greatest consoling words
are, "we shall meet again" for
her parting words were: "I am
going home to heaven and I will
Uke the name of Jesus with roe."
Peace to her slumbering dust and
upon memory's page be cherished
her noble needa.

On the night of the ftth Chief of

unearthed the crime of child mur
der committed by Lottie Hsnnovan
Jged IS years, living with a
widowed mother at the corner of
Willamette and Sixth street Eu
gene. The evidence ss given in detail
before the coroner's jury is hardly
fit for publication, but it shows
beyond question that Mlas Ilanno
van waa delivered of a well devel
oped eight pound child, born alive
and died after birth, and was
wrapped in clothes and burled In
a water closet near thn premises by
lU mother, and that Mrs Hannovan
the girl's mother was privy to the
whole affair.
The coroner's jury found sub
stantially in accordance with above
facts. The punishment for conceal
ing the death of this child so that
it may not ba known whether It
was born alive or not, may be by a
term - of - imprisonment in the
county jail not less than three
months, or by imprisonment In
the penitentiary one year.
But in c,ase of indictment for the
murder of her bastard infant and
conviction of the same she may be
punished as a murderer which
punishment ia by hanging as in
