It gives the "oldest inhabitant" an jexuusu Re calling up his oft repealed reminis cence of the great flood which oc curred in the sixties. The Jefferson Review says that to' R. E. Keeuo is due the credit of saving the Stayion bridge. Mr. Keeno allowed himself to be loweied from the bridge onto some drift that had accumulated against one of the piers, aud while swinging by n rope sawed a large log in two which allowed the drift to swing clear, aud float down the river. Albauy Herald: It seems that Oregon City has been the heaviest loser in the floods, of any of the Willamette valley cities. Many industries had started up there in the very path of destructive floods, and have suffered in consequence thereof. It is fortunate that the owners of these enterprises, as a rule, were wealthy men, and the plants will be replaced very soon. The Assessor's convention at Port land adjourned; among other lesolu tionst the following was adepted: Resolved that we are in favor of the repeal of the mortgage tax law, on the ground that it drives money oil' and excludes money from the state, aud because tue consequent, increased rate ot mteiesi invanauiy falls upon the lender. Also unit a law be passed compelling u&ses ors under penalty to assets all piop erty at its true cash value and that the law allowtngxemptiou indebt edness be also repealed. Eugene Register: Since the floods have subsided, investigation reveals the fact that abutments and piers have not been properly constructed to withstand the pres sure brought agalust them, and a number of valuable bridges have been lost In consequence. uooti rock or concrete foundations, and solid masonry for piers and abut ments, will cost more than cribs, but the superstructure will last longer aud thecounty will be gainer In the end. Now is a good time to flirure on the difference in the cost between iron aud wooden bridges. Yamhill Co. Reperter: The rain fall since January 1st, has been great for Oregon, last rnursuay, Friday and Saturday witnessing tue greatest precipitation. From signal service olllcer Wyatt Harris we learn that the ralufall during Jan uary wad 14 21 inches, January 2o to January 31. 0.59 Inches; to Feb ruary 2d, at 7 a. m., 4.07 Indies; to February 3, at 7 a. m., 1.68, making the total rainfall from January 2-5 to FebiuaryJI, at 7 a. m., 16.81 Inula, the ten days' niln from January 25 to February 3, excluding Hint of the wliole mouiu ol January uy inches. 1.08 TIIK ASYLUM. Dr. Lane Will bo Invited to Apiionr Heforc I ho (inind Jiirv. TIu investigation of charges against Dr. Lane is proceeding. It was learned oil the street th it be fore the jury: a ljourns Dr. Line will bo given a chance to appear an l make a 'statement about the charges published In the Jouknal. The grand jury will, whether it finds a truo bill or not, probably make out a written report to tho court. If obtainable this report will appear In the Juiminal, aud if fully exonerate I we eh ill be glad to do Dr. Lane full justice. Latkk. It is reported that Dr. Lane has declined to make nny statemeut before tho jury. This is ouly rumor. We canuot believe that Dr. Lane will place himself in sucli a position. o Tho Unitarian Society. At theanuual meeting held Thurs day evening, the resignation of Rev. M. V. Rork was accepted. His ser mon of last Sunday evening on the church and state caused some com ment, and some objection has been raised to tho pastor's views on politics and religion. A resolution was adopted vry comp imentary to Mr. Rork, r.nd a number of the society expressed themselves pre ferring to continue tho ol I relation, "politics and prohi. thrown in." All was said and done In the kind liest manner. A reporter , cal led on Mr. Rork, who declined to "make any state ment. In tho talk it was learned that other fields had been inviting tho now ex-pastor for sometime. He ha I been In favor of building a church aud widening tho field of the society's work. The society was able to do this and ho did not want to go on In the old way. He thought ii i.ooiio'.i ciiurcii ot no denomina tion, that would uurit ror the spirit ual elevation of the masses might be a success in Salem; did not know as it would bo dciire.l. He was elec ted as state organizer of the new national party last fall. A prominent member of the society was seen aud told tho re porter that step were taken to oni ploy another preacher aud the sciety would not long be without public services. At the meeting of the Unitarian society last night T.L. Golden, Win. England aud Mrs. N. A. Golden were re-elected trustees of the soci ety for three yeirs. There- will be no services next Sunday, Mr. Rork contemplating entering other fields of work. Filings and Appointments.

Tho Man "Who Had n Fat and Wanted the Rescuers Sell It fur llim. Porker to During tho memorable Tuest'ay of the flood wce, when the raging waters were sweeping down the Willamette with destructive force, threatening houses and oilier prop erty ou both sides for uucerta n dNtauces, tho gallant young men of Salem had formed rescuing parties, and wherever distress was expected or feared, they launched their boats and tendered their assistance, thus doing much good work and being ever ready to do more. There lives a short dlstanco above the city ou tho Polk county side an old gentleman of the genus Yankee, with a big Y, and tho rescuers, thinking perhaps his domicile might be in danger from the flood, laboriously pulled across tho augrv stream and Inquired whether ho was uneasy or desired -to bo mot'id out. "Na-a w, I guess not," said the imperturablc old gentleman; "I guess I'll stay a while longer and sec how the thing looks." This was in the forenoon aud the waters were elevating at a rapid rate, so tho boys told him if -he should find himself iu uuy danger through tho day to hoist a fiag of distress and they would come to his relief. Keeping their eyes watchfully open along the western horizon, the rescuers, Home time during tho afternoon, de scried the unmistakable ilag of distress flying from tho premises of the old gentlemen aforesaid. Into their boat jumped two. of the most stalwart youths, and tho river be ing now u boiling torrent, tho most heroic pulling was necessary to cross its almost resistless tide. They finally reached the yellow kouso at the foot of tho hill and asked the old man If ho was in danger aud de sired to be moved. "Na-a-w; I reckon I'm In no per- tlcular danger, but I have a nice iat pig Here and 4 thought as now mebbe you'd take it over to Salem and sell it ferine," coolly remarket; the color-bearer of distress. The feelings of the rescuing party can better be imagined than writ ten out. UNIVERSITY N0TKS. Miss Eliza Maasey will re-enter school Monday, after having been absent for several weeks. Miss Cora Rigby, of Patahu, Wash., received a telegram yestcr iliy announcing the serious illness of her father. Dr. Jessup presented tho Wom an's college with a. neat stove for the study hall. His generosity was duly appreciated. Mrs. Prof. Jory spent Tuesday vis iting the school. She spent most of the day in the mathematical depart ment and seemed to bo well pleased with tho work being done. Miss Jennie N. Long, tho elocu tion teacher of tho University, will give one of her popular reading at Silverton to-night. Tho Sllverton people will surely have a literary treat. Prof. Van Bcoy went down to Mt. Angel this afternoon to spend Sunday with Mrs. Van Scoy and ills little son Paul, who has not been In very good health of late, and Mis. Van Scoy took him out to her father's thinking the mountain air would be beneficial to him. Tho University band played the march in chapel Tbursday, , Tho baud now lumbers fifteen instru ments, The boys bcem to take con siderable intei est iu the work and are making rapid progress. Tho band was presented with a' new waltz at their last meeting, com posed by Prof. Parvln which he entitled "Fair Mount Park Waltz." Prof. Van ycoy took the trouble to obtain a few statistics of tho school, Tuesday, which exhibit some Inter csllng facts and go to prove that peoplo ciii better see the advantage of tluir pilvllages only when they are deprived of them. Ills ojworva tionsshow ihatof the 200 students now attending tho literary depart ment ouly about 30 are of Salem, while 15 come from other states and 3-') of that number are from tho new stato of Wash, and ten from the other states and territories mostly from Iduho and Montana. Scarcely a county of this state but has a leprohvntntlvu In the school at prudent. While Salem can boast of her splendid Huhool facilltlwiyet she does not pat ronize them ns she should. There are young peoplo in this city who could not make a better Investment than putting In a few years iu boiho of our schools. It was McCi.kvt.IiAN!. An ar tlclo In Monday's Joukn'AIj relating to the young girl nt Tacoma com mitting suicide over a colored lover caused considerable discussion among those who were acquainted with the parties. It has since been learned that It was undoubtedly tho colored waiter McClevcland, who was tho dusky spouse. McClevelnxd drew his revolver on Isaac Grant Foul in this city instead of Robt. Ford Jr. ns was stated. McClevc land wr.s always considered a tough character and is now where ho prop erly belongs. Wiiii.
