Happenings Over the City and News From the Country Roundabout. The World's Eighth Wonder. Yesterday it was tlio Capital Jouiwai. man's surprise to meet a man who did not like Oregon in fact prefer it to any other land. We looked upon him with wonderment. The jjcberal rule is that the eastern er who has lived here as much as two years could not bo hired to re turn to the land of snow and wind, blizzard and drouth, heat arid cold. But this man said he did not like it liore. Why? Oh, his wife did'nt like tho rain and ho was tired of It himself by the time tho winter was half over. But how did he like the zeroes and blustering storms? Well, ho didn't know as ho could stand them any better. He talked a little while and concluded after all that Oregon wan 80 much better than any country he had ever seen that ho "guessed ho wouldn't sell out yet nwhllo anyway." This man had thought he did not like Oregon, but when lie camo to compare It with other climes ho was satisfied entire Street Hallway Contention. It will bo seen by an advertisme'nt iu another pldco that tlib directors 'of the Salem Btrect Railway have adopted a novel and ingenius meth od for deciding upon their proposed extension. The lino is sure to bo constructed up one street or anoth niid tills is tho way thoy propose limiting a decisien: Tho board of directors of tho Sa lem Street Itailway Co. voted to at once extend tho lines of said railway up cither Clieinckete, Center or Mar ion streets, tho location of such ex tension to bo upon the street oflcr ing to the company, prior to Jan.

Sherman, junior vice commander; J. Batchclor, officer of tho day ; G. Stoltz, quartermaster; Dr. L. A Port, po-it sugeon; S. B. Watkins, officer of tho guard; F. B. South wlck, adjutant; S. M.

Their friends and invited guests were heartily welcomed and made to feel at homo in that cordial manner known only to tho ladies of tho Relief Corps. Home Scalp Items. A. M. Mulkoy of near Mehama was down to-day and brought with him a wild cat scalp, for which ho obtained tho bounty of $2. Ho also killed a bear a few weeks ago, but did not bring its scalp, as ho wished to prescrvo the hide in toto. He of course received no bounty for the bear, as the scalp was not produced. This is necessary, as tho county clerk must destroy such scalps. Thero aro somo queer occurrences In connection with this scalp and bounty business. For Instance, a few days ago a littlo boy camo in with about twenty ground squirrel scalps and claimed his reward. When told that thero was none, ho was moved to tears. Ho said ho had worked pretty hard to catch them and somebody had told him lib would bo paid. In October one man brought in Bovontecn cayoto scalps. These an imals ho had killed by placing strychnine where thoy could got It. - - l'llotlnir Immigrants. F. J.

Ho says Salem is enjoying a period of fino prosper ity, and overyono seems happy and contented. Further up tho valley, tho country Is very flue and the land very good and prices generally moderate. Ho finds tho country around Salem unsurpassed in beauty, tho sceucry highly picturesque, nnd tho land among tho best. Thero is plonty of it and prices aro very rea sonable. While- ho found muoh beauty wberovor he wont, after spending a few days In Salem ho remarked, as do all others, that, "Sa lem takes tho prize foi pretty girls.," The fifteenth Session.
