Black beats are reported to be much more nuuierou- than usual in the Blue mountains this fall. They are doing much damage among stock ill Uma tilla county. An old horse collar is on exhibition in Eugene. The collar is made of wood, aud was brought across the plaius in 1853 by B. F. PowerB, who lives north of Springfield. A farmer recently speaking of the condition of the stock throughout Benton county, said that a majority of the animals were already winter poor, ot, accouut of the lack of grass. riauiuel Mtlsuu, accused of murder ing Chas. Perry, near the California line, was given a preliminary exami nation in tlrauls Pass last week, and held to the grand jury without bonds. A car of ore, that was shipped from Merlin last week by J. C. Taylor, aud ruu through the Asblaud quartz mill, yielded H2i per ton. This is the second shipment from the Taylor mine. Heavy shipments of hops have been made from the Willamette valley during the last few weeks, mostly lo England, One lirm in halem shipped auuo bales aud has lar e quantities yet to ship. Balurday, Nov. 7, there will be a meeting of the Angora Goat Breeders of Oregon, at Independence. The ob ject of the meeting is to form a breed ers' association, with a view of crea ting more interest in the mohair industry. The Moro Observer asks: "Is there a conspiracy against the pupils of the Indian schools?" The government has just ordered for them 68,000 pounds of dried peaches, 76,000 pounds of dried apples ajd 82,000 pounds of prunes. W. B. Wiuans, of Hood River, has discovered part ot an oak tree which is older than its neighbor, the mountain about it. The specimen was imprison ed by the solid granite formation upon it, aud was petrified and aftei wards turned as black as mahogany. The first lot of hogs shipped from Elgin this fall was sent out last week by Kiddle Bros. The hogs were con siderably lighter than those usually marketed, as farmers are not at ail anxious lo feed Iheit wheat to Iioks (his fall aud then sell them for 2J cents. A miner's candlestick, with a caudle therein, made of rich quartz speci mens, is on exhibition at the bank of Miltou. The candlestick aud caudle are valued at $115, and the object was won in a raffle by Frank Monty at the Coeur d'Alene mines aud is now his property. J. H. Campbell, who was tried in Pritieville for murder lo the first de gree, lor Killing Isaac Swearlugen, on the 4th of last July, was found guilty of murder in the secoud degree and sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary.

A number of horses, the property of the Cox estate, were sold at public auction in Jujcliou City lust week, The horses were oayuses, and one gray pony sold ford, Prices ranging from that figures up to about (7. The bidding was not very spirited, as the crowd seemed pretty well supplied with cayuses. A hobo who was takeu into the em ployment of the hv. J. H. Black, a Cotholic priest of Eugene, took ad- vantage of the priest absence from I home to steal a suit of the priest's clothes, and started, Wodnescay, on a tour of deception. He got drunk in Cottage Grove, where ho was arrested and taken back to Eugene. The Astorinn enys that the Ford & Stokes Co., of Aslorui, received from Dublin, Ireland, a letter from a wealthy firm In that city ordering ICHIO Oregon draft horses to be shipped to Ireland as soon as the horses can be secured. The letter specifies Hint the horses must be without mark or blem ish, Mustangs or branded horses must not be shipped. A old relic, In the shape of a beaver trap, was recently found by William Blachley on Lake creek, and is now on exhibition in Eugene. The trap evidently was lost or left along the banks of Lake creek in the early days possibly by an employe of the Hud son Bay Company, in the days before this state was settled by white men. That the trap has been lost for many yeare Is evidence by the fact that parts of it are almost rusted away. The springs are rusted as thin as paper, aud are broken. The frame and the bit are also rustedvery thin. A shooting scrape, which, however, did not result fatally to any one, oc curred on Tillamook bay last week. A dispute arose between Johnny Day aud L. G, Bakes relative to the right of Day to set his net at a certain place. Baker claimed that the position be longed to him, and tried to drive Day away, but the latter stood his ground aud refused to budge, whereupon after some threats, Baker drew a pistol aud fired at Day, the bullet striking two or three feet of its intended mark. Baker claims that he only intended to frighten Day, but, coupled with the threats made, it makes quite a serious matter. Petty thieves took advantage of the opportunity to carry away whatever they could get their hands on at the fire in Eugene last week. A large aiuojnt ot laundry which was saved from the fire was stolen. Soap was carried away in large quantities from the soap factory, aud Thursday per sons visited the ruins and openly carried away cakes of soan. One woman, who wanted soft soap, went with a large bucket which she filled from a barrel in (he presence of the proprietor and others, with as little concern as If the soap belonged to her. Friday night a barrel containing about 500 pounds of cuustic sada was stolen by some one. George It. Hargadine aud H. G. Eu- bauks, of Ashland, went on a wild bee and honey hunting expedition last week, and came home with a good colony of bees and about 100 pounds of honey, all of which they found in a big, black oak tree, on the mountain east of Ashland. Mr. Hargadine has been putting in a little leisure time lately in burning these bee trees in the mountains, in order to secure not only the honey, hut a number of colonies of bees witli which to start an apiary. He has so far cut about half a dozen of the trees inhabited by the busy bees, and brought them and their product down to civilization. The Fiagle mill folks, of Ashland, had lot of fun F'riday night, chasing a would-be burglar, who got in the mill aud was helping himself to sever al sacks of barley when discovered, He took across the field, followed by his pursuers. He dropped to the ground to escape an imaginary bullet; jumped up and ran again when they pretended to whistle for a dog, and finally Jumped into Hear creek to escape his followers. He was shortly aflerwatds found at a camp below the mill, hitching up his team mid pre paring to leave. Ho was questioned as to how he got so wet and answered that he fell into the creek while get ting a bucket of water.

One witness cnuie from Southern Oregon and a large number came down from the ndncs. It was learned that the de fendant had poof that the best powder had been bought fur use in the mines, and the plaintiff having no rebutting testimoncy; by his attorny L. B. Cox, moved for a non suit and the case was withdrawn. It is re ported that another action will be begun. The business of the court was the lightest in many years. Two Views of Pensions. "There may be fair differences of opinion as to the extent and con ditions of pension relief, but there Is no room for doubt as to pensions," writes ex-President Harrison in the November Ladies' Home Journal "This Country of Ours" article. "Eleven dollars a month for war services implies, at least, relief in case of wounds or sickness for the soldier, and that the public will care for his widow and minor children. When the law of pillage prevailed it was other wise; and when our rich men take to fighting our, wars we can abolish the pension system, hut tints far it is as historically true of the armies that won our independence, delivered us from the Indians and the British, and saved the nation in Die great Civil War, as of t lie Kingdom of Heaven: 'not many rich.' There arc two views of the pension question one trout the 'Liltle Round Top' at Gettysburg, looking out over a field sown thickly with tiiedeml.aiid around upon bloody, blackened and maimed men cheering the shot-torn banner of their country; the other form an olliee desk on a busy street, or from an endowued chair in a university, looking only upon a statistical table." Big Damages. The Dalles T. M. says; Judge Bennett has returned from Daylon, Wash., where be has been conducting a suit for damages against E. McNeil, as receiver of the O. R. N. Co. The cause was brought by the widow and childrcu of Robert Walker, an engi neer in Hie employ of the road, who was killed in a wreck between Boles Junction and Stnrbtick In Columbia county, Wash., and was for damages caused by his death. The verdict id' the jury was that $1(1,11(10 damages lie awarded, Lho largest damages ever awarded in the United States in a similar case. The case will be ap pealed to the Wasliiu"ttiu supreme court. A Big Thing for Oregon. A car loud of Eastern oysters left Washington a few days ago and will arrive in San Francisco In a few days. A large proportion of them will bo planted in aqiiina bay. Townsoud, oyster expert of the U. S. Ilisli com mison lias the supervision of the plant ing. The owners of lho beds at Vaquinu haw agreed to protect the oysters until it law can be passed by the next legislature, protecting tliem lor four years, There is suid to be no question but what they will spawn here. Prof. Washburn who Investigated tho mat tor found that they possessed oyster food in abundance. If lliey do well this will be a big thing for Oregon iu the future. Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report iaking waer Americans as Musicians. Madame Emma Calve contributes a pnp.'r on the "Conquering Race in M usic" to the November Ladies Home Journal, In which she specially ad dresses students of vocal music. She tells of the training required for the operatic and the concert stage, the Im personation of character, the value of suggestions, etc., and says this tribute to Americans: "The Americans have, it seems to me, in the field of music, and especially in the field of vocal music, all of the characteristics ot the conquering race. They are possessed naturally of the most exquisite voices, which, when properly cultivpted and trained, are "almost unrivaled; they have indomitable energy, perseverance and pluck; they stop at nothing, are deterred by no trouble and prevented by no obstacle. Poverty, wearinass, oxertion, hard work none of these living spectres which affright and terrify the average art worker has terrors for them. Their physique and and their temperament seem made for toil and to surmount discouragement, and the success which they are daily acheiving, in the field of both operatic and concert singing, is testimony to their natural fitness for accomplish ment, and to their ability to excel. They seem, in fact, to be most lavishly fitted by nature for the parts tfiey are assuming. To these gifts of voice, energy, pluck and perseverance they frequently add a beauty of face and grace of form and movement which the public recognizes as most important factors in the success of the singers career. They have, too, the tempera ment which makes great artists aud great actresses, the artistic feeling which lias for its standpoint, perfec tion, and which is satisfied with noth ing else." Cure For Crippled Children. The National Surgical Institute, No. 319 Bush St., San Fraucisco, success folly treats all cases of orthopiedio surgery. .One or more surgeons of this Insti tute will be at the St. Charles hotel, in Lebanon, Tuesday, Nov. 10, aud at the Revere House, Albany, Wednesday, Nov. 11, to'examine cases.
