Read his announcement in another column. Mr. Conover, a newspaper man of considerable experience, called on us Wednesday. Mr. Conover resides in Malcu, has traveled extensively In Washington, and thinks our climate and soil su)erior to that of the new State of Washington. The Astoria Columbian says the Ore gon gold and silver will soon become well Ituown in the mints and Jewelry factories of the country. Our mines are hardly touched as yet, and untold riches will be extracted from them within the next decade. C. C. Hackleman says his hobby is shoes. A look through his well-selected stock will convince the most skeptical that he understands what the people need for their "understanding." And when Haekleman says "stand from under," something "draps." There are several hep yards In the vicinity of Lebanon.

' Crook county farmers feel confident of. being- able to raise enough wheat this year to supply the local demand for flour.- This will retain about $150,. 00 in the county, as that amount has gone out of. tbe oounty for flour eaea year for the past three years. Now if the farmers will raise enough ' bacon and lard to supply the market, they will save about 129,000 more to the county. Prinevllle Review. ; A Kaoa far Life. A report from up the valley is to the effect that the morning train on the narrow gauge was derailed near Ward's butte Wednesday. An eye witness states that when he first saw the train it was going hop-sklp-and-Jump over over the ties, about three lengths of a crow bar behind a Mongolian pheas ant. It seems to be the general belief ef the farmers in that vicinity that the bird which earned the disaster was a new comer that had found it conven ient to roost on one of the rails, and being Ignorant of the schedule time on this road his slumbers were protracted too long for his own good and the safe ty of the passengers. Fortunately no lives were lost. The "Chinaman" did not awaken until the drive wheel had passed over his body, and then the race began ii earnest. Had the train succeeded In jumping the ditch and taken to the level prairie it is thought the pheasant would have been run down sumewhere between Plain view and Woodburn, the slight bruises he received in the onslaught necessa rily checked his speed. Has the Chi naman no rights that the " Mellcan " man is bound to respect? Tfca School Him Agala. Owing to some Illegality in the no tices of the school meeting which was held two weeks ago, the board will call a meeting for Monday, April 7. Tne proceedings or tne nieeUug.togeth er with the resolution were In accord ance with law, but the call was not specific in some particulars, and there fore necessitates a second meeting. Our citizens have no serious apprehen sions as to tbe result, for all are aware that a new school house is an absolute necessity. The news that Lebanon is to have a $10,000 school house has been widely published, and a balk at this Juncture, would be fatal to Lebanon's frosperity. Be it known that our 10,000 school house will be built and occupied September 1st, 1890. DUi. In Lebanon, March 24, the infant son of Dr. and Mrs. J. 8. Courtney.

As was announced some tltne. since, we purpose to add new features to The Expbess at fast as- the business will warrant, or the evolution of time may require. The latest addition to this efncels an instrument .of destruction bearing the ominous- name "guillo tine." The name is foreign, but the device itself is purely Auiericsn; We have used the machine as a paper cutter for some vears, but of late have ground the edge and polished the keen Damascus blade, and armed and equip ped like valiant khights of old we propose to convert this machine Into the more legitimate use of beheading "delinquents." Tbe exceeding slow ness of some people has made the use of this machine imperative, and hence forth It will it a necessary adjunct of this office. Call and examine this novelty, deposit a small sum with the manager, and its mechanism will be thoroughly explained. Watnom'i Addlttoa to Seattle. Mr. W. W.Beck and J. R. Klrkpat rlck, two of the proprietors of Was som's addition to Seattle, left Tuesday morning for that city They have sold $16,000 worth of property in that addi tion during the past two weeks. A large $50,000 flou ring mill will probably be built next to the property this sea sonand it is for this reason they went to Seattle. Mr. S. E. Young, Mr. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Beck wijl erect fine nouses upon the property this summer. Herald. Moaay Oaee Mora.

Chas. B. Mowtaouh. Some hungry tramp with a maw like a brewer's vat entered the commissary department of the St. Charles' this week and carried off flour, bacon and all the sweetmeats Jn sight.'

Uuddleson visited the town on Tuesday. T. M. Do Vine Is preparing to raise most excellent garden. He has the soil, and don't you forget it. Mr. 'Llndley came here to-day to look after property. Now Is thd time; why shouldn't.this place grow as well as our neighbor cities. Mr. Hearn will erect a blacksmith shop here in a short time. Mr. Hearn In a first-class blacksmith Now Is the timefor this place needs It very badly. The real estate of -Thomas Kay and J. K. Weatherferd is to to be latd out In lots in a short time. , No doubt they will be sold reasonably cheap. " Call and Invest." J. G. Gross is to build an addition to the front part of his hotel this spring. Mr. G. will.be prepared to accommo date a lare amount of travellers and soda seekers. Come one, come all; try the soda water. Tbe bridge Is not repaired yet, al though we think it needs to be very badly, as the people of this place have gone to a great many inconveniences since the north approach was. taken, and also we think It would benefit the county if it were raised about five feet; then there would not be any more ex pense for the county. This is. what should have been done in the first place, "now don't you think it is?" The school directors have been re pairing the school house seme this week, but what's the use of that, though? It isn't fit for a school house, and anothor thing, we undoubtedly need a new school bouse. Now if we don't there isn't a place in this country that does, and it needs to be in a more prominent place. We think it would be beneficial .to build a new school house and locate It In Waterloo. Wtohing Tux Express a prosperous year, I close. Little Bird. Cash paid for Produce by R, 8. Rob erts. ' WHO STARTED IT?

The severe winter left stock In a bad condition, and we still hear of them dying. G W. Purh Is pushing his building at Holly and expects to have a stock of goods in during the spring. Travel ! aguln resumed on the Sweet Home road, as the bridge above here is temporarily arranged forcrossing. Isaac Putnam, while Working at the sawmill of J. C. Morgan, gave his foot a severe cat one day this week. He is resting now. H. H. Chuna, from Cottage Grove, has purchased the Sloan saw-mill and also a shingle-mill and expects to run them for all they are worth. Men do travel to and fro and knowl edge increases, bit do wo get better? Is tbe restlessness of these times con ducive to morality or a greater love from man to man? Certain kinds of class lesiglatiou, the great haste to become rich and mauy powers new at work tend to close all tne avenues to the bettei part of man's nature. .More the pity. James 'Warren has lust gotten out from the measles. His wife and child have the disease now and we presume it will get over the country. The spring is the proper time to have the measles. The grist-mill, whloh was badly damaged during the flood, is soon to be repaired nnd put in good condition for a custom mill, the company being amply able to make a first-class mill Oi it. Moreanon.
