TlieLebanon Express. SATURDAY. APRIL, 30, 1887. Excursion to Sllverton. As per announcement by the mem bers or the Brownsville and Coburg lodges I. O. O. F., on Tuesday morning last the regular traiu left Brownsville with seven ears all loaded with people in the happy anticipation of a pleasant day's picnicking at BilvertAn. As is generally the ease this time of the year, the heavy atmosphere iu the morning indicated anj thing but a pleanant dav, but towards noon the clouds broke away and the ride was a pleasant one, and interesting to quite a number who, for the first time, became acquainted with the many points of interest on the way. At Silverton the partv, numbering about 4iK, was met bv Silver Lodge No. 21, headed by the Silverton Silver Cornet band, of that place, which escorted the procession, numbering probably 1,000 people, to their hall, where, for a few moments, hxndshak ing and social brotherly greeting was indulged in. On this occasion, as on all others, where good things to eat are a part of the programme, the ladies of Browns ville and other places showed thev were masters of the situation. One de partment of the baggage car was allot ted to luiskets, filled to over-flowing with dainty and substantial edibles, which would have been more highly enjoyed in the leautiful grove as was anticipated than at the table beneath the Odd Fellows' hall; but a shower, just at noon, unfortunately changed the contemplated picnic iuto a dinner. After dinner the procession was again formed, and to the music of the band, inarched over the crystal waters of Sil ver creek to the church where the ora tion by Judge J. J. Walton, of Salem, and other exercises were had, which were impressive and entertaining. This, so far as the anniversary exer cises were concerned, completed the programme, and the excursionists, for a short time, "took in the town," visit ingtheseveral places of interest. There are some very pleasant lookine resi dences in Silverton. It is an old town and bears the resemblance, of having seen better days. We would net forget to say that the management f the excursion, on the part of the railway officials, was in every respect satisfactory. The train to Silverton was in charge' of Conduct or l'oorman with Engineer Franzen, and was on time at all the stations. On the return, C. X. Bennett was in charge of the train and everything was very agreeable with nothing to mar our pleasure but one or two of those fellows who imagine they "can't" have a good time without insulting ladies and gen tlemen. We are glad to say these par ties referred to, did not hail from Brownsville or Coburg. Neither are they of the respectable people of Seio. The Work Commenced. Scio, April 23, 1S87. Ed. Exrpess: We have commenc ed the fight on the prohibition amend ment, as our old resident, Joab, used to say "in the Forks;" and from now un til November next we intend to keep the matter agitated and hope by that time that every elector shall have well considered the simple proposition Is spirituous or malt liquors, when used as & bevera?re, a benefit to society. -A prohibition league was organized at this place with thefollowinsroflieers: J. L. Miller, president; F.J. Villa, sec- i retary; It. Pentland, treasurer; twenty- j eral others expressed themselves in favor of the amendment. We had a rousing meeting April 1R, 1SS7, at 1 o'clock p. M. Quite a num ber spoke and a more earnest set of voters could not have been collected in any place. We were assisted by quite a number from Mount Pleasant and each contributed his mite by way of argument and influence. Among the speakers were Rev. Mr. Woolcy, Ben. H. Irvin, Mr. Parker, J. C. Johnson and a number of others. In the evening a meetinar was held under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. The church was crowded. Rev. Wooly delivered a lengthy address which was full of sound reasoning, end the subject was handled in a fuir and impartial manner. Several members of the league made five and ten minute speeches. The audience was favored with several prohibition songs by the were the songs and speeches by the lit tle folks, which were very entertaining, and we hope the training may continue and the old adage prove true: "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." So just count us in on the prohi bition question from first to last. F. J. Villa, Sec. The Lebanon Brar.c'i. Under the new time card which takes effect on Monday next.

Trains will run as above every day including Sunday. A Rare Curosity. Among the attractions at Silverton on Tuesday last, was a wee little Chi naman -just one month old. It was indeed a curiosity. We overheard a lot of excursion ists discussing its merits and wondering why its "dswldy" did not put the sign "musuem" over the door and charge an admittance fee of five cents and make the thing finan cially interesting. One of them said it was the funniest thing she had ever seen. Another declared it had no ears, and another was surprised to see its mother take pains to keep it from cry ing, etc., etc., while another indignant ly remarked if that was the kind of things the Chinamen were introducing into this country, the sooner they were were made to "go" the better. Alliance Call. The next regular meeting of the Linn county temperance alliance will be held at Scio, commencing on the evening of May 24 and closing on the evening of May 2-5.

On the way from here to Silverton may be seen some of the handsomest farms and residences in the state. Howell Prairie is especially attractive with broad, jrrven fields, hed:re fences, and everything denotes happiness and prosperity. . N It was our pleasure on Tuesday last. ! to call upon Messrs. Guild & Adams of the Aip'-a't Silverton 's live newspaper. Judging from the make up of the office force, etc., these gentlemen xre doing a good business. They publish a neat, newsy sheet. Joseph B.

Some Jackson county sportsmen will attempt to propagate Chinese pheas ants in Rogue river valley. The best way to propagate the jiests would lie foresaid sjiortsmen to come and take what there is in Linn county. They can have them in welcome, and our farmers will help catch them, txio.

Sylvester has discovered coal in the landslide, which occurred on hi place last winter. He took out aliout two bushels the first heat, but as his pick got very dull he could not dig any far ther. So he filled asack with ca'l ami threw it across one shoulder and his pick on the other and you ought to have seen his coat tail pop through the hazel nrush as he took rapid strides in a bee-line towards Sam Hawkin's black smith shop, where he arrived nearly out of breath and threw the sack of coal into the furnace; and Sam applied his muscle to the bellows and such a fire you have never seen before. Sam said it beat any fire he had seen since Adam wa3 a calf. I did not learn what it was that made the fire whether it was the sack or the coal, but all the same George says he is going to town to get seven or eight yards of big pow der and a few dozen drills and some sledge hammers, and he is going to knock the "stuffin out of it," so if any of you Lebanon folks hear something drop, just go on as though nothing had happened, for it will only lie a few rocks blown out of George's coal mine.

" Mr. Burtenshaw is giving his resi dence a new coat of paint, lioth in and out side, which considerably improves the appearance of his place. Farmers are all busy putting in their crops with anticipation of a go id return in harvest, when thej- shall reap the golden grain. Therefore - they are happy. Almost every year there are large crops of flax raised in this vicinity for the Salem oil mills, the company fur nishing the seed and then taking all the crop at from $1.25 to$l.50 per bushel which pays quite well here, as the land is well suited to flax culture, some places producing 15 or 25 bushels ier acre. This year the company have shut down for repairs and are hot let ting seed out, so the farmers will have to go hack again to the old standard wheat. Game is plentiful and the hoot of the grouse is responded to by the drum of the pheasant. The Chinese pheasants have become so very numerous that the farmers are complaining of them destroying not only their grain but gardens also. One farmer asserts that they utterly destroy his garden and that he lias seen as many as six or fight of these pests In his garden at one time, and within a stone's cast of his house. It is plain they are a curse to the farmer and should be protected no longer. So the Chinaman was aliout rigltt when he said "bve-and-bye Mcl ican man no likec." I t is said that the meat of the old birds is very tough and unfit for food. Kkit. '. ' Salting a Mine. It is currently rumored that a gravel mine has been "salted" In Southern Oregon and "sold for $50,IXX or $00, 000 to a "moccasin" who had la-en bait ed for that purpose. Rumor connects the name of an ex-proprietor of the St. Charles with the fraud, and it is said that the Jackson county grand jury are looklngintothematter. The modus operandi was to buy $."50 of gold from various adjacent mines and salt the worthless gravel mine till it had the appearance of being very rich. Then the ex-hotel man and bis victim with some companions go up on the train and with hilarious chanipaigne fix the business. The victim is said to have paiil a ljgrge sum of cash and to have deeded land for the balance which the ex-hotel "keeper has sold for 40,000. The victim is endeavoring to get back some of his property, and to get the swindler indicted.-Port land Democrat- Dlvine Services. The following are the appointments for to-morrow (Sunday): Rev. P.
