The sheriff's ts'x roll in Benton coun ty litis been completed by the clerk and placed in the sheriffs hands for the collection of taxes. Several Fossil sports, blessed with more time and horses than money, are planning to go on horseback to see the big fight at Carson City, March 17. The ride can be made in 10 daya. At the sheriff's sale of delinquent taxes In Benton county, a week ago last Saturday, the county was forced to bid In only about (322 of the $2000 of delinquent Uut 0U (he list offered for sale. Tlioe. Thompson, deputy stock in spector for , Umatilla oouuty, reports that he has again been compelled to kill a number of horses afflicted with mange. He say that there are a good many of them scattered through the county. The Gardiner correspondent of the Roseburg Review says that Gardiner, with a population ot 267, including big, little, old aud young, can boast of more fraternal and beneficial organiza tions than any other tow A of its sir ib the state. It has 10 in all. The receiver of the National Bank of Pendleton Is now paying a dividend of 20 per cent This is the fourth divi dend, aud when it is distributed there will have beeu paid 85 per cent of the claims which were held against the bank wheu it went Into the receiver's handB. Preparations are being made to put In a sawmill with a capacity of 25,000 feet a day, on Neil creek, about eight miles south of Ashland. The ma chinery is iieing constructed at the Ashland iron works. A 60-inch water wheel will Utilize the power of Neil creek. George Horsftdl, of Corvallis, recent ly received a letter from his brother, who is at Iowa Falls, Hardin county, Iowa, and It contained the information that some iS families of that section are preparing to come to Oregon with the Intention of locating in Curry county. II seems to be the general impression that Josephine county will have a large yield of fruit this year. The weal her seem to lie favorable thus far, and the fact that there wu no crop In 1896 adds to some extent to the confi dence of the people in general for a good crop in 1897. Four raccoons that were captured near Starkey, !u Union county, have attracted considerable attention from old-timers. As far as known these are the first coons ever captured in that section. It wiis generally supposed that none of them bad ever reached that part of the world. A petltiou signed by the county Judge aud commissioners of Klamath county was last week Bent to Repre sentative Conn, asking his services in having ofllciul salaries in Klamath county reduced to the following amounts: Sheriff, $2000; clerk, $1500; judge, $500; treasurer, $300, and school supeiliiteiident, $250. A serious altercation occurred last week at Gold Hill between Daniel Richards and . 1. Ullman, both real estate agents of that place.

A large number of hnpyards around Gervais, in Marlon oouuty, reported as out of bearing, were simply let run wild last year, and are now being brought back into cultivation in the hope of better prices ruling this year. 164 bales of hops In the Brooks section, near Gervais, were sold last week. This sale cleans out all of the hops in that vicinity. Some one entered the observatory of the university of Oregon, in Eugene, last week, and stole two transit lamps and a lot of kerosene oil. The lamps were worth about $5 eai h, and the thief got in all about $15 worth of stuff. The building is on top of Skinner's butle, just north of Eugene, and. far enough away so that the thief could work without fear of detection. An entrance was made by cutting a hole through a woodeu door and raising the latch on the Inside. The burglary was first discovered wben the class in as tronomy went to the building last Thursday night to take obsMvatioua. The Roseburg Plalndealcr says that it was reported thi)t a commercial man lost $8000 worth of Jewelry in the burned express oar at the time of the hold-up at Shady Point. There has been much digging In the mud and dirt thereabouts for (he melted gold. All that has been oncnrtltrd as yet baa proved to he copper, under the test of acid. In dressing a mess of smelt pur chased in the market die other day, an Ashland young man found In one of the little salt-water fish a chunk of gold as large as two pinheads. He had beard about ducks and geese discover ing gold mines, and holding the secrets in their craws until found there by some prospector for a good dinner, but of fish, until now, never. Earl Dayls and Charlie Ross, two lads of Eugene, left that city one day last week in a rowboat, going down the Willamette to Portland. From there they will go by steamer to San Francisco. At San Francisco they will again launch their rowboat and go in it to San Jose. From Han Jose they will go by train or steamer to San Diego, there destination, where they will engage in some kind of business. Residents of Ashland complaiu that "beau shooters" are coming too much in vogue among numbers of the Ash land boys, who use them too wantonly, destroying every bird that comes with in their range, liol excepting those protected by law. The boys should take warning or else, saya the Tidings, somebody will be called upon to vigo rously enforce not only the law for the protection of the birds, but the ordi nance against "bean-shooters." There is a flour famine in Fossil jut now, sayB the Fossil Journal. Few of the citizens have as much as a sack of flour on hand, and many are entirely out and are living on corn meal and self-rising flour, of which there are a few sacks in store. The cause of the famine is the state of the roads, over which neither flour nor wheat can be hauled in. It is hoped the roads will be passable for wheat teams in a few days, otherwise Hie citizens will have to get down to praying for manna. Tennessee Literary Notes.. BY AN OBSERVANT VOTER. Feb. 20, 1897. A large crowd was in attendance at the meeting of the Literary society last Saturday evening. The program was rather short. Pile paper, which was read by Miss Stella Frank, was re ceived with applause, aud was decid edly a grand success, The question fur debate was well presented by the dif ferent speakers, J. H. Fronk, aifirma tive, winning. The question was, "Resolved, that Education is a greater defense for a nation that) standing armies." J. D. Fronk and' Oscar Davis, hav ing previously been fined by the so ciety, made complaint for the fine, claiming never to have beeu legal members, and a motion was made by C. D. McKulglit to refund (lie money. This was opposed by Thus. MoKiiight, Miss Annie Blacklaw and others; also by the president and secretary. The strong plea by the president, to stand by the laws of the society, and the op position of others, won many a sincere voter, and the motion was defeated by a vote of 13 to 11. Charges were made against other members, but they luck ily escaped fine. A mock trial will take place next Saturday evening, instead of the regu lar debate. It is also election nij-lit.

Gov't Report ii m (Hi ii vm ABSOLUTELY PURE A Well Known House Fails. (From Albany Herald, Feb. 19.) Citizens of Albany yesterday morn ing were not only surprised, but deeply pained, to lc-artt that the well known clothing house of L. E. Blain & Co. was in financial difficulties, and had assigned, the assignee being Mr. S, E. Young. The condition of the company, which Is a corporation, on examination was found to be solvent and only tem porarily embarrassed, if the members choose to take it iu that light, which it is to be hoped they wilL The liabili ties amount to puly about $12,000, while the assets foot up about $20,000 on stock in store, ana from $12,000 to $15,000 in notes and accounts. On Mr. Blain's private business, however, the showing is not so good. His assets, consisting of eight or ten tracts of land ; varying in size from 35 to 200 acreB in extent, town lots in Cor vallis and at the bay aud residence property, stock in several corporations, amount, at the depreciated price of land now prevailing, to somewhere near $18,000. Liabilities, about $55,000. Mr. E. W. Laugdou is named as as signee In Mr. Blain's case. The failure is viewed with universal regret, for Mr. Blain has been in busi ness hero lor nearly fifty jears, and has enjoyed the respect and perfect confidence of the entire community, aud gaiued a reputation for business integrity all over the state. A suit and attachment by Elizabeth Cox for $2000 forced the assignment. Other suits of course will follow. Notice of Dissolution.
