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.

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

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-

22 names on the roll, and 'they are the
names of Industrious Ikivs and girls,
who realize that their school is a busi
ness institution, one in which they are
individually interested, ami one in
which they form an integral part and
In which the daily programme is not a
luxury but a real "necessity.
H. Y. Gilison has the contract to
carry the mail from Ix l.anon to Sweet
Home, via. Sodaville and Waterloo,
and Is now running a tri-weekly hack
m this route. He makes his trips on
time and the way his horses step up it
will be a pleasure to travel re on this
route to patronize him, as lie is prepar
ed to take them comfortably and at
reasonable terms.
Checkers Is the all a!sorbiug game
here. We have two champions. O. W.
Klum ami Elijah Saltmarsh, and a few
amateurs. Some times the amateurs
feel like they were standing on a shett
if paper, and rush in on one of the old
men and scatter things, but just as the
would-lie victory is dresM-d down it
turns out that' Mr. Amateur is left.

'Improvement Is the watchword here
and weU gan at the school house. The
intention Is to fence In and clear up the
school house grounds and put a pump
In the well. John Cams and Isatc
Saltmarsh were to build the front line
of fence; this they have nearly com
pleted, only lacking two or three rods.
The remainder will lie finished soon.
The pump is on hand and will lie put
in as soon as the water gots down and
the well can he cleaned. A Fishkk.
