William Lewis White was horn in New Kent county, Virginia, August 10, 1810. llisnneestors took a prominent part in the Revolu tionary war. Hoth parents died when he was young, and he made his own Way in the world. When he was 18 years old he went to Western Tennessee, and later to Louisiana. Then he spent aome time with the Texas rangers, under Gen eral Sam Houston. In 1839 young White returned to Tennessee and married Miss Mary E. Fartlow, who died in 1887. They went to Texas thence to Missouri, 'where he became colonel of the militia, and in 1850, with their three children, they joined a company that came across the plains to Oregon. The firsk winter in Oregon the Whites kept the hotel at Milwaukie. Then the colonel went to California, but returned to Oregon after making and sinking a lot of money in the gold mines, and kept the hotel at Oaneinah. He was appointed chief clerk under Surveyor-General Preston, and continued in the position under General Gardner. He was chief cleik of the territorial conncil during the last two sessions of that body, and in 1808, 1876 and 1878, he was chief clerk of the house of representatives. In 1874 Governor City Wins. Tho petition of Oregon City for a writ of review to compel the county court to pny over tho $5409 of road money collected by tho county within tho limits of Oregon Ci'.y was decided Thursday in the circuit court. The county contended that tho proper remedy for the city would have been to compel the county court by mandamus to make the apportionment contemplat ed by law, and which was not made here, when the funds sought would have be come available. Now, it was alleged, the money has been spent, and is beyond the reach of the city. The city's argument was simply that the plain provisions of law, as embodied in the Oregon ity charter, had been violated by the county authorities, and this pro ceeding was for the purpose of enforcing compliance with the law. At the con clusion of the argument the court grant the order prayed for, directing the county court to vacate the order previously made and audit and pay the claim of the city as presented. Judge McBride intimated that his private opinion as to the un constitutionality of the provision of the Oregon City charter requiring the county to turn over to the city the road money I collected by the county within the city remained unchanged, but as the supreme court disagreed with him on that point, he would follow the dicision of that Grover appointed Colonel White to be court as closely as he was able to do. county judge here to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of J. K. Wait. In 1882 and 1880 he was elected to that otlice. In 1867 he purchased the Cliff house, in this city, which he conducted a number of years. Colonel White was charter member of the old McLoughlin fire company, the first organized here; the first chief of the department, and at different times he served as councilman and school director.

You can't get good bread out of poor flour. Moral : You can't get the best out of anything, unless the best is in it ; and the best has to be put in before it can be taken out. Now, we have a rule to test those sarsaparillas with a big "best" on the bottle. "Tell us what's put in you and we'll decide for ourselves about the best." That's fair. But these modest sarsaparillas say : " Oh 1 we can't tell. It's a secret Have faith in the labeL" . . . Stop ! There's one exception ; one sar saparilla that has no secret to hide. It's Ayer's. If you want to know what goes into Ayer's Sarsaparilla, ask your doctor to write for the formula. Then you can satisfy yourself that you get the best of tha sarsaparilla argument when you get Ayer's.
