The cattle are expected tnrivo without feed, except what they get by foraging In the woods. ' During November the Albany cream ery made 3350 pounds of butter, a gain of 504 pounds over the previous month. The ruling price per pound has been: For Octolier, 20 cents; November, 22j; December, 27J. The people of Bandon are anxious for a tele hone line from that place to Gold Houch. R. D. Hume is aald tone ready to contribute all tbe wire, Insu lators and other necessary equipments whenever he has a guarantee that the I oles will beset. The S. P. Co. has discharged 600 traek walkers in order to reduce ex penses, but has retaloed those em ploy ed in the Cow creek and Sacramento canyons and on the Sisklyous, as those parls of the route are too dangerous to be left unguarded. Two miners from Arizona built ft flatboat at Pokegama, Calif., lost week and started down the Klamath for the coast, snys the Jacksonville Times. The chances are favorable that they will come to grief before they reach their journey's end. A coon, without a bair to cover him self with, was caught in a trap at Jos. Cowan's camp, on North Coos river, the oilier day. Among the many theo ries advanced to explain his bare con dition is one that he was singed by a stroke of lightning. Hermann, the greatest wizard of tbe world, pawed'through Albany last Sat. nrdav morninir, for Han Francisco. He had immense houses In Portland. He la said to have paid about $350 to have the train held so he sould tioard it after Friday night's entertainment. After Jnuuary 1st the town of Aums vllle will become the home of the Marion County Record, which, for the past two years, haa been published at Silvertnn. The citizens of Aumsville have raised h bonus for the publishers, as an inducement to make tbe move. A man was ejected from a Eugene restaurant the other day for obstreper ous conduct, on oeing refused a napkin, and Bro. Campbell says that he was Berved right. He should have wiped his inouth on the table-cloth or on his handkerchief, like the "bleeds" of that city do. Col. W. C.

Klamath county la without a news paper just now, The Express some time since swallowed the Star, aud the former was last Saturday suspended by the sheriff on an attachment Issued at the inatauce of Congressman Hop kins, of Pennsylvania, who had a claim against it. It is more than like ly that differences will soon he ad Justed. - Johanna Harlow, aged about 87 years, died of old age at the home of her brother, M. H. Harlow, about two miles east of Eugene, Deo. 25, 1895. Deceased was an Invalid for years. She was a native of Kentucky, and came to this state from Missouri in 1873. She had never been married, and had made her home with her brother since coming to Oregon. The work of destruction commenced a week ago by a dynamite fiend on the bridge of tbe .Siskiyou Mining compa ny, over (lie Illinois river, In Josephine county, wits last wi ek completed by the elements.

It la thought that he has scattered false money all over Eastern Oregon. flie passengers who went to The Dulles in the Regulator last Thursday witnessed k pretty stunt, When tooth ing a bend in the river Just above Shell rock point, a fine deer was seen battling with the current of the Colum bia. Their first Impulse was to run him down and take him captive, but his gallant effort in tiie water acftened their hearts, aud he was allowed to swim ashore on the Oregon side. The case of the state vs. James Lee, charged with larceny, was given to a jury in Hlllsboro a week ago Saturday afternoon. All that night, all day Sun day, and Sunday night, over Monday and till nearly midnight Mm day it winnowed chaff and weighed evi dence. No jury has ever before in Washington county been out so long. When the verdict was rendered, how ever, It was against Lee, and was gen erally satisfactory. The Salem Post says: A glance to day at tbe completed plans for the new woolen mill shows that the dimen sions of the entire structure will be 60x146 feet, and that It will comprise two stories and a basement. The bids invited were for wood and brick struc tures. It is thought likely that brick trill be selected as the material, pro vided the estimates are satisfactory. Tbe bids will be opened to-morrow and the contract awarded immediate ly. After awarding the contract Thos. Kay will go east to look for the neces sary machinery. The mystery surrounding the suicide of the man purporting to be H. L. Jones, of Chicago, a journalist, at the Auacapa hotel at Ventura, Cal., Dec. 11, will never be solved, If the plans laid by his friends to conceal his iden tity are carried out. The body was exhumed and an undertaker came dLWn from Santa Barbara to assist the deputy corouer In preparing the re mains for shipment Somebody in St. Louis telegraphed $400 to cover the expenses of the erhumation, and for warded instructions that no Informa tion should be furnished to the news papers. To further conceal the identity of the suicide, tbe body will be shipped in tbe name of the agent, ln fcC.Louis, with no indication as to who the friends are who have taken so much interest ln the matter. The under taker has been advised that he will be paid for his trouble on condition of maintaining absolute secrecy. Ail the information lie will furnish iB that the man was wealthy and prominent in social circles in St. Louis. For some reason his friends blind the news papers as to the true facta. Hayward's Victims. Harry Haywaid, the Minneapolis murderer, recently hanged, left what purports to be a written confession of his ruauy crimes. He says that his j first murder was that of Carrie Hass, near Pasadena, Calif. He shot her, and afterward threw her body Into tbe sea. His object was to secure some $600 that she had. Once w,hile tending bar in Long liratich he killed a ccn sumtlve who had money. Then there was a Chinaman he killed In a gambling quarrel, and the brother of a Mexican girl at Paso del Norte, and, lastly, Miss Glng. He says his first object in life was money, girls second and travel third. Iu closing his statement Hayward read: "I haye told the truth, so help me God, if there is a God, and if there is he certainly won't blame me, as I have honestly followed the dictates of my conscience. Don't say I am sorry, for I am not, I have made my bed and will lie In it without kicking. I have had my fun and will pay for it." Oregon Mines Sold, The Oregon Mining Journal, of Grants Pass, publishes the following Item: This week Johu P. Jones, of Portland, for himself, and R. A.

He bids fair to die with a He on bis Hps. Referring to his first interview the reporter says: Then his eyes were dull and bleary, his features were swollen, and his clothes were untidy and soiled. Now, his eyes are as clear and bright as a baby's; his features are clean-cut and shapely, and his figure Is as straight as an arrow. Although only 18 years old, he is as large as a full-grown man, and his magnificent physique might well be the envy of a trained athlete. He might easily be called a handsome young man, with bis dark eyes and hair and well-shaped head. He has an expressive face, too, and seems to be naturally quite intelligent. He had been thinking that he was to be hanged on Dec. 31, aud when in formed that Tl was to be on Jan. 31 it seemed to make Utile difference to him. "Iam going to hang on January 31," he said, "and there is nothing I can say to you that will make me any frieui'a or set aside tbe death sentence. But I would like very much to have the people know that I am not such a bad boy as I have been made out by the lawyers and newspapers. I did not kill my father or mother; but I did kill McKercher, He shot my father aud mother, and would have killed me, had I not bad a fight with him and shot him before he could do it. No one believes my story now, for, I am told, I admitted killing all of them, when my bead was wrong. Now I feel all right, and my head is clear, and I can say honestly that I only killed McKercher. But I am ready to die and tbe sooner It is over the better. I will have more peace in the next world than this, the way I'm situated. Everybody thinks I killed my parents, aud, even if I were free, I won id suffer more than death by knowing that everybody thought I ought to hang. I don't see any way to establish my innocence, aud have given up think ing about it. Everything is against me, and I want to die. I don't want to go to the penitentiary. What's the use?" "You thought you were to hang De cember 31, didn't you?" asxed tbe re porter. ., "Yes," the prisoner replied, "I made a mistake about the date. You see, I took so little interest ln the execution I only noticed the dale '31st.' I sup posed, of course, they would hang me this month. In fact, when I left the court-room after the Judge sentenced me, although be didn't set the date at the time, I supposed I was- to be hanged right away off the same day. I was surprised when told that I had some time to prepare for death , and, when informed that I was to die on the 81st of January, I thought they meant December, aud was spending my time as comfortably as possible un til next Tuesday. But I am to see the beginning of llie next year, anyway, aud I guess it is just as well," "What do you think will become of you when you die?" was asked, "I don't really know what you mean," replied the condemned youth, with a puzzled expression ou his face. "Do you believe lu future pun ishment?" was a more terse ques tion, which the prisoner readily understood. "Ob," ho replied, carefully choosing bis words, "the Bible says that there is punishment iu store in the next world for those who commit crime iu this." "Don't you haye some fear about it?" "No; why should I? I am innocent of any serious crime, I never mur dered anyone, and I killed McKercher because he killed my parents. I won't sutler for causing his death, I don't know anything about the next world, but I don't fear it in tbe least. If I had killed my- parents though, I should." v "Will you go ou theBcatl'old without fear?" was a pointed question asaea the straugeyouug Utah. "I don't see why there should be anvthimr to be afraid of," he replied. "I waa never scared la my life, and, If ttddJihrfasMLlUt, I Wt t Latest U. S. Gov't Report siting baby. I'm as anxious to havo the thing over with as anyone else, and as long as I'm of this opinion, why should I fear the day of execution?" Speaking about hisjlfe be said: "Al bany is the largest town I've ever been in, and I have seen very little of it. I was never here before I was brought to jail. I was born 18 years ago on a farm near Biowusville, in the vicinity of the farm where my parents were killed. I had never been further away from home than Belknap springs, which is about 70 miles. I would like to see a big city like Portland, before I die; but of course it it is too late now." Before the iuterview ended the youug fellow was asked how he ex pected to spend tbe time until he was executed. "Ob, I've got a fiddle here, and then I read some. I'm not worrying." Iu answer to tbe parting words of one of the visitors, he said: "I'll get along all right." "Good-bye," rang out cheerily from tbe cell. The reporter says: Deputy Sheriff Propst is confident young Montgomery will be game to the last. "Does a man's mouth open when he is banged?" he asked Mr. Propst the other day. "I guess it does," Mr. Propst replied. "Well, if mine does, I want you to throw a biscuit in it," was Ihe startling injunction. Probate Matters.
