The governor wrote to District Attorney McCain relative to the case, stating that a petition for par­ don had been presented, but probably the attorney did not give it much en­ couragement. The facts were that Hill got off very easy with two years. His offense included burglary as well as larceny, but in consideration of pleading guilty to the larceny the charge of burg­ lary was dropped from the indictment. Hold-ups are becoming a frequent pas­ time in McMinnville, if all rumors can be credited. Saturday night Dr. Minty was held up on his way home. On Sunday night John Dumphrev was accosted near the Bynum house. He is reported to have shoved the man off in the mud and struck a Robert J. gait for home.

If every man who goes on the road with a wagon was required to use a wagon with wide tires the roads in Oregon would be much better than they are with the narrow tire. In some states all wagons with wide tires are exempt from taxation. Such a law in Oregon would in the course of time regulate the thing without working a hardship to any­ body.

The heavy rails which are now being put down, have been laid a mile or more north of West Dayton towards Dundee. The heavy rail now being laid down, and greatly improved roadbed on this line, would indicate that the Southern Pacific intended making this branch in good shape for a much greater increase in traffic over the line.

The latest triumph of scientific re­ search is the new treatment for the cure of diphtheria, discovered by Professor Behring, of the university of Halle, Prussia. This discovery was based upon another by Profes­ sor Loftier, a' disciple of Koch, of the bacillus that produces diphtheria. The investigation that followed dis­ closes the important fact that not only the bacilli themselves were ca­ pable of producing diseases, but that the same effect could be secured by the use of the liquid in which they had been cultivated, even if it did not contain a single animalcule. Pro­ fessor Behring therefore decided to leave the bacilli alone, and to para­ lyze their action by adding qualities to the blood which would render them innocuous. He began his experiments on the guinea pig. He injected small quan­ tities of the virus at first, graduallj’ increasing the d 5ses, until he was able to inject enough bacteria to kill several uninoculated animals into a pig that had been experimented up­ on, with no injurious effect. He thus discovered that the antidote was in the blood of the animal which had been inoculated. The “clot” is re­ moved by careful filtration, and the serum or thin whiteish portion of of the blood, is injected under the skin of the patient, Experiments upon diphtheria pa­ tients were gratifyingly successful. In one Berlin hospital, out of seven­ ty-eight patients who during the first forty-eight hours of their illness were inoculated with it, all recovered except two. Treatment by the old method had been previously applied in seventy-two cases, twenty-five of which ended fatally. In two other hospitals of the same city eighty- nine patients were treated by the new cure, and though seven of these were suffering from the most malig­ nant diphtheria known, and beyond all hope of cure, only twelve died. In all the other cases the application of the serum was followed by a no­ table falling off of the temperature and a perfectly normal pulse. When the patient was treated without loss of time, one day sufficed to remove all the remaining symptoms of the malady. The serum is found to be perfectly innocuous, its only disa­ greeable effect being a rash or efflor- vescence of the skin, like the prick of the needle, and which is generally produced by a transfusion of blood. At present the blood of horses is used for the production of serum. After they have been sufficiently in­ oculated, their blood is drawn to the amount of about two pounds. Serurn taken from the blood of horses is found to be clearer and purer than any other. Professor Behring says serum injections are equally effectual for the cure of lockjaw, and he be-, lieves that in time it will become a successful remedy for typhus, chole­ ra, and perhaps even pulmonary dis­ eases. The healing art is making tremendous strides, and many of the diseases that have for so long been scourges to humanity are now large­ ly curable by newly-discovered meth­ ods. Not All Gold. We have not heard of any con­ tracts being signed by the beet farm­ ers in this valley at $4.00 per ton, the price proposed by Spreckles for next year, says the Salinas Index. At $4 50 per ton last year very few beet growers in this valley made any money. Hence, the proposed reduc­ tion to $4.00 will deter many if not most of them from growing beets the coming season. We have yet to hear a farmer say that any money can be made, one year with another, in this valley growing beets at $4.50 with the 5-pound limit nominated in the contract. The annoyance of waiting for cars, dockage for dirt, and a thousand and one other hard condi­ tions imposed by the contract have disgusted most of the growers of sugar beets in the Salinas valley.— California Fruit Grower.

The colors of Pacific university at Forest Grove are black and crimson, “pilfered from my maiden’s cheek and the hair upon her head.” The postoffice at Helix, Umatilla county, was entered on the 22d, the postmaster clubbed nearly to death, but no money secured. The robber escaped. A $50 reward is offered for his capture. Portland hospitality expects to offer to the visitors present at the opening of the Universal Exposition, December 1st, a drink of clear water from the base of Mt.

A party of Pennsylvania capitalists, headed by a gentleman named Cook, who bought 40,000 acres of timber on the Wilson river about three years since, is now pre­ paring to purchase, it is said, about 200,000 acres more. It is said that the prices to be paid will average about $1000 for a quarter section. Governor Pennoyer, in speaking in reference to Japan’s reply to the offer of mediation by this govern­ ment said: “I see that the Japanese government has followed my example in reminding President Cleveland to attend to his own business. For the sake of the country the president really ought not to have allowed himself to be snubbed the second time.” Governor-elect Lord, of Oregon, with Senator Mitchell, called on the President on the 21st and invited him in the name of the Oregon people to visit Oregon. Senator Mitchell told the president if he would come any time after January 1 next, he would guarantee that the governor would meet him at the state line, re­ ferring to Pennoyer's refusal to meet President Harrison. Horace Nathan Pennoyer, the only son of Governor Pennoyer, and member of the freshman class of Williams college, died at Williams­ town, Mass., on Saturday, aged 19 years. He caught cold at the Wil­ liams-Cornell football game at Al­ bany, N. Y., and in a few days ty­ phoid fever developed. His mother, who had been summoned, had reached Chicago when she received the news of his death.

W. E. Page has exhibited some samples of seal and sea lion leather, and also shoes of the same material, made by him at Netarts. He says the seals and sea lions are very valu­ able for their hides and oil, and that they are easily procured. The leather is very tough and soft, besides it takes a fine finish. Mr. Page is an experienced tauner and shoe maker, and may shortly be in a position to utilize the seal and sea lion skins that may be secured at Netarts. He contemplates starting a tannery in this town, and thinks it would pay, as tanbark is so handy, and there are plenty of hides here to keep a small tannery busy. — Tillamook Headlight. Seth R. Hammer has prepared a bill regarding hunting which he will have introduced in the coming legis­ lature. It is to protect the Mongoli­ an pheasant, the native pheasant, the native grouse, the native or valley quail and the Bob White quail. It makes it unlawful for any person in the counties of Lane, Linn, Marion, Polk and Yamhill to hunt these birds or have in possession except for breeding purposes between the 15th of December and the 15th of Septem­ ber, the following year. The close season for valley quail is made from Feb. 1st to Sept. 15th. It makes it unlawful to hunt on Sunday, or to hunt any time with dogs, and ex­ empts the Bob White quail from be­ ing killed for seven years. Fines are placed at from $75 to $300, or three months’ imprisonment, or both. SMILES.
