Avery His done.
Frank A. Avery, the mini who
was shot on the train near Gervals
Boveral weeks ago, left last night on
the overland train for San Fran
cisco, where he will remain with his
parents until completely recovered.
The ono ball remains iu his back
yet, tho surgeons being unable to
extract it.
There is considerable of .Tekyl
Hydo about Avery, after all. In
appearance he is a gentleman and
so conducted himself hi the presence
of the writer. But those who con
stantly attended him during his
confinement say he Is ono of tho
vilest of men, with no ambition
above a life of pleasure and excesses.
Oregon drown Tobacco.
There was somo tobacco raised at
Eugene last year of which samples
were sent to San Francisco, to test
its valueformanufacturing purposes,
says tho Register. The report is to
the effect that the product show's n
healthy growth. There is no ques
tion about the success of tho grow
ing, but in tho matter of curing
there is much to bo learned that is
essential to success. There Is an
immense consumption of tobacco on
this coat and a marketable product
would meet with prompt sale at re
munerative figures.
A Sadly Peculiar AcclJciil.
.Too Avery of Corvallis, who is
very ill and has been for some time,
had a very peculiar accident hap
pen to him Sunday, which, it seemed
for awhile would terminnto fatally.
Tho doctor placed a thermometer in
tho boy's mouth to take his temper
ature, and tho llttlo fellow, uncon
scious of what ho was doing, closed
his teeth on the thermometer, break

may recover, tho Leader is informed.
The Railroad Commission.
Concerning the Governor's veto
of this bill and tho house passing it
over hjni, the Albany Democrat's
correspondent saye:
"Tho emergency clause will bo of
no use. The Governor did not sign
tho bill. If it become a law by pass
ing it over his veto, then it will run
ninety days. If it run ninety days,
then the Governor will appoint tho
commissioners. It will bo forced
upon him to do so. The tun is in
solving this question. Does the
veto of the Governor change the con
dition of tho bill so as to destroy tho
emergency clause ? It must, for
that destroys the condition upon
which it becomes a law, 'as soon as
signed by the Governor.' If the Gov
ernor does not sign it, that emer
gency con dition cannot bo complied
with, hence niuetv days must run.
If tho ninety days run then the
Governor must appoint tho commis
sioners. This being the caso wo
look two sets of commissioners if tho
the veto is not sustained, one set to be
appointed by the legislative assem
bly aud the other by the Governor."

in three series, including about 800
shares of a faco value $100,000. Al
though but llttlo over a year old the
association has mortgage loans out
standing of about ?20,000 and it is
estimated that at tho present rato of
advance payments, the shares will
mature iu about soven aud a hull
years. Tho LiiGraud Loan and
Building Association is proving ol
incalculable valuo to tho town, and
quite a number of buildings have
been built upon the strength of the
association during the past year."

HON. E. O. MCCOY.
Mr. McCoy is a republican repre
sentative from tho county of Wasco.
Ho is located at Grant, where he i
extensively engaged in mercantile
business. Mr. McCoy is a genuine
"web foot" having been born in
this state June 7, 1858 in Benton
county. One year later his parents
moved to Umatilla county. At that
time it was hadly safe in Umatilla
and very few white people were lo
cated in that part of the state. His
early life is devoid of any particular
occurence, as he lived on a farm
until ho had reached the age of
twenty-two, when ho boldly went
forth in business pursuits and has
been unusually successful. He Is
a plain good natured, pleasant gen
tleman, who will iu tho future as iu
the past, makp his power felt in tho
circles of daily friends.
