cause everything is lower In price than

prices. Salem Independent.

From Corvallls comes the report that
there is good reason to believe that the
Oregon Pacific railroad is to put on two
steamships between Y equina and Hon
olulu. The steamers will he not less
than 2000 tons capacity and are to have
good passenger accommodations. The
scheme has been on foot for two
months and has practically matured.
The outward cargo will be wood spe
cialties aud other classes of freight.
The Inward cargo has been arranged
for and will pay the company hand
somely. The officers of the Oregon
Pacific would say nothing upon the
subject, one way or the other, only
that nothing was Impossible now
adays. At all events, there is a great
deal more to the matter than fiction.
More Bank News,
Wednesday morning JDeputy U. S.
Marshal Geo. Humphrey came to this
eity and served a garnishee notice on
the trustees of the Hank of Lebanon to
hold all the property of J.JL. Cowan's
that they had lu their hands. Mr.
Humphrey also attached some real es
tate that formerly belonged to Cowan.
This was done on a suit brought by
the Linn County Natioual Bank
against J. L. Cowan, to recover about
$23,000 that lie owes that bank.
The attachment did not cause much
disturbance at this place, as the trus
tees did not have anything belonging
to Cowan, and he does not own a foot
of laud iu Lebanon. The action may
end in a long law suit, but the deposi
tors of this place have had the best of
legal advice lu their action, and have
little doubt but that they can hold
what they have at this place, which
will not pay anywhere near what is
due them.
It seems that the more this business
is looked into the more rotten it is
fouud to be aud the end is not yet.

AVehfooters imagine fruit cannot be raised
in Crook coanty, but in this they are decid
edly mistaken. This year Crook county has
produced enough fruit to supply the home
demand, and the quality is superior to any
thing they can produce on the other side of
the big hills. The mistaken idea that fruit
cannot be grown here should not prevent
anybody coming this way in search of a
home.

reduced fro n 92.25 er head to $1.50 per
head. No other radical c.hunges were made
in the valuations placed on property by
assessor Gray.

Chicago is now paying the fiddlers
and pipers who came with the world's
fair. An abnormal demand for labor
drew to her gates an abnormal number
of workingmen. Suspension of work
has tiirown thousands of these out of
employment, and when the fair shall
be closed thousands of others will join
the growing army of idlers. This is
not a pleasant prospect. It Is the
