lived together three and a halt years,
and never in one house more than two
months, living in about thirty different
houses and eight or nine different places.
California, Salem, Corvallis, Oregon
City, Springfield, Marcola, Independ

equal to a fire what a conflagration
there was in the life of this poor wo
man, and she certainly was entitled to
a divorce and a gold medal for standing
it so long, .

One railroad has been built at Nome,
running from that city a distance of
ninety miles to Candle, a big mining
town. It is only run in the eummer,
the drifts of the winter absolutely
stopping traffic on it. An interesting
place on the road are the hot springs

almost everything is raised in profusion,

tauie raising is successiui. reopie nave

An Electric Suggestion.
Albany, Nov. 18. -It is shockihg to
the sensibilities of some of our people
to see ths way the electric roads are
coming up the valley. They try to
block their advent with prices for right
of way that would make a New Jersey
farmer sit up and call them grafters.
However, the railroads are coming,
and the land values that will follow will
cause some of the men who sold right
of way sore hearts,, for the extortion
ate prices received will look like thirty
cents, and thereafter each nickle will
be bitten to make sure that it is' not
counterfeit. PROGRESS.
A Big Revival.
Baker City, Nov 16, Dan Shannon
closed his six weeks' revival service
here last night when he preached a
farwell sermon to the converts. . More
than a thousand were converted. In
cluding gamblers, drunkards, business
men and others, lhe evangelist was
given a thank ottering ot $1500 Sunday.
The people of the city built a $1200
tabernacle, and paid the heavy expense
of the revival. A law and order league
has been formed, and also a Young
Men s unristian Association, ne pen
pie are well pleased with the results.
Corvallis' ?ostmastership.
A fight has already been begun for
the postmastership at Corvallis. The
four year term of B. W. Johnson ex
pires next summer. W. P. Lafferty is
out with a petition and Mr. Johnson
will also be a candidate. He has been
a very competent official and besides is

The Democrat makes the guess that he

A blocK System Item.
Eugene Register:
That the Cottage Grove local came
into Eugene safely with Congressman
Hawley aboard on Tuesday evening
without being badly wrecked was due
only to the block signal system put on
the line a couple of years . ago. As it
was, it was over a half hour late, and
the reason was this: When the Shasta
Limited passed over the portion of the
miin --of r a,.i(;u t...'i
iraca ac a aangerous place, about a

rail
f,or tha,t block. The engineer slowed
