The first number of the first volume of the Evening Republican, Colonel B. F. Alley's new paper, has been Issued from Baker City. A typesetting ma chine is used in doing the composition, and the paper is attractive In appear auoe. Aii old time "sblnplaster" was pre sented at B. C. Craven's store In Moro, Sherman county, for 10 cents worth of tobacco. A rellcbunter took It up afterwards for an advance of 150 per cent. This "money" was in vogue in this country at the breaking out of the war. The dwelling house of Charles St. Louis, a jeweler, was destroyed by fire at bis farm on Bogue river last week.

The lacy editor of one of our ex changes nays: "The lark was up to meet the sun, and carol-ed his lay; the fanner's son took down bis gun and at him blazed away. The busy bee arose at Sand buzzed the meadow o'er; the farmer's wife went for his hive and robbed him of his store. The busy ant rose early too, his labors to begin; the greedy swallow that way flew and took his lordship in. Ob, bees, and bints, and ante be wise, in proverbs take no stock;- like me you should refuse to rise till half past eight o'clock." Big Enterprise on the Breitonbusk.

Editor Democrat: I haye noticed certain slanderous articles in a newspaper at Albany against Henry Blakely, democratic nominee for sheriff. I desire to say that I was residing iu Eastern Oregon over 20 years ago at the time that it is claimed that Mr. Blakely wasindicted. The indictment was falsely pro cured and the result was that Mr. Blakely was discharged as an innocent man. I am, and always (lave been a republican, but when I see a good man and a true citizen like Henry Blakely slandered as he has been in this cam paign I think the voters of Linn coun ty owe it to themselves and for the establishment of justice and right that he be elected sheriff. I have known Mr. Blakely for many years and never heard augbt against his character as a man and citizen until the revival of this old indictment which everyone that knows anything about it at all, knows Mr. Blakely was Innocent. I know enough about him to know that if elected he will honestly and fearless ly do his duty as an officer. D. G. McClAbbk, A Republican. Leather of All Kinds. . .

David Ayeks, Will sell cheap for cash or approved trade. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report AB&QUiTElY PURE IN SWIFT WATERS, How Lumber is Rifted Down the Klamath River. The manner of rafting lumber down the Klamath river at almost lailroad speed, from the aawmtll atPokegama to Honolulu, a distance of 20 miles, la about as exciting as shooting a chute. A raft ot about 10,000 feet of lumber is fastened together to float like a barge, leaving the top about five feet above the water line. Four or five men with long poles manage the raft, and keep it from dashing against recks or run ning into the bank at crooked turns from the speed attained. ' The current being very swift, with dangerous cataracts and whirlpools in many places, it requires energetio action on the part of the managers, who seem to have ho serious difficulty until reach ing Lime Gulch, below the mouth of Humbug creek, where the rafts some times strike dangerous rocks, to be broken to pieces, causing the men to swim ashore or save themselves the best way possible. The raft crew watch carefully to keep clear of blind roqks covered by water, on the swift journey, not only to save the lumber from being scattered, but also for their own safety, as it is difficult for the most expert swimmers to reach the shore at any section of the turbulenj stream.' Residents along the river watch these rafts with intense interest as they fly along the surface of the water, especially through the rapids or winding around iTooked turns, I fearing disastrous results. By this method u great quantity of lumber Is supplied to miners for building water wheels and wing and head dams at points where there are no wagon roads for hauling by team, or such poor roads as to make hauling very slow and tedious. The men who mauage these rafts are experienced river loggers and know all the crooks, turns, eddies, rocks, bars aud rapids, beuce keep their floats in proper position to shoot through the "dangerous places with safety, showing great skill also in landing at points where the cargoes are desired.
