Strawbrldgo, said that some of the property could be sold and rein vested to advantage, butMr. Dolan objected to the sale. Judge Campbell granted a motion to partition the property. In rendering his decision the Court said that no blame could be attached to the father for allowing his two boiis to go to work iu order to support themselves and mother. He declared that boys who went to work early made better citizens and usually were more successful than those who had college educations. Tho Dolans were married eighteen years ago, and have three children, John, I-eo and Mildred. Mr. Dolan Is a nephew of John Dolan, a pioneer who lived near Colton.

DEVELOPMENT IS ALMOST FINISHED Vast Mountain la Thought to Be Filled With Valuable Matala Smelt- ring Plant It Planned. Thomas II. Falrclough, one of the directors of the Ogle Mountain Min ing Company, who was In the city Thursday, declared that the develop ment of the mine had advanced suf ficiently to Indicate that the entire mountain wafrlch In gold, silver, lead aud other ores. He said that there was no doubt aa to the richness of the ores, and that the development would soon reach a stage so actual mining could be started. A tunnel pamlllng the principal ledge of gold ore has been made from the bottom of tlje mountain to the renter, and several lateral shafts piercing the ledge have been provid ed, In every one of these gold, silver, leud and other valuable ores have been found, which shows that the ledge extends across the mountain. There seems to be no end to the ore, and there la every reason to believe that the mine will prove one of the most profitable In the United States. Ore was taken from the ledge at the top of the mountain many years ago and storvd In a large bin. After be ing exposed to the air sever) years It was put through the stamping system and gave large gold yields. When the ore that had been stored In the bin was exhausted more was mined, but this did not prove so valuable, giving such a small yield that It did not pay to mine It. The mine was abandoned, but later It was found that the tellur ium In the ore bad prevented the gold and quicksilver used In the separating process from amalgamating. It was then decided to develop the mine thoroughly and Install the smelterlng system, which would get all tne gold and other metal out of the ore. The plant will be Installed at the base of the mountain and the ore will be brought through the tunnel for smelt erlng. RECENT ARRIVAL IS MARRIED. I. B.

Chicken experts of this city and county are marvelling at the eggs laid by several hens belonging to Mrs. I.ticy Ewalt, who lives near Fisher's Mill on the Clackamas River. The eggs have two and Sometimes three yolks and are more than twice as large as ordinary ones. Eggs with two yolks are not unusual, but It Is something new for hens to rarely lay any other kind. Mrs. Ewalt sent five ot the eggs to Dr. A. L. Beatie Friday and they are certainly curiosi ties. One measures seven and one half inches by six and a half and the othera are not much smaller. A dozen of the eggs weighed two pounds. The hens which made this remarkable record are Rhode Island Reds, but the reason for the large eggs remains a mystery. Mrs. Ewalt gives her chick ens the best attention, and uses noth ing but the best feed. SAWDUST CASE IS POSTPONED. Frank Davenport to Have Hearing on July 7.

COURT RECORDS HERE EXAMINED Occupation of Father and His Own Age Learned In Portland Search to be Continued . In North Dakota. After making a futile search for hla mother In this city and Portland, Wil liam Norrls Noble, twenty-five years of age, left for Sarles, North Dakota. Saturday morning tp aee if hla foster parents can aid him in hla quest. The young man has searched for his moth er eight years, and It was only after he bad been In Portland several days that be learned the names of his par ents and the date of bis birth. The story told by young Noble while he was searching the records In the Clackamas County Court house in an effort to find out when his parenlfl were married, and If they had ever lived In this county, sounded like a chapter from fiction. Boy Runs Away. The boy was left at an orphan asylum in Chicago during the World's Fair In 1893 by his parents who, he thinks, soon after separated. He was adopted by a family named Nelson, of Sarles, North Dakota, but soon ran away and has since taken care of him self. He drifted to Sothern Califor nia, and found a friend tn Mrs. May Adams, of Los Angeles. She has as sisted him In his search for his moth er, and any information concerning the young man and his parents should be sent to her. Her address Is R. F. D. No. 3. Box 195. , While in Portland Noble located his father's sister and also found that he was born in that city on March 6, 1886. His father was William Henry Noble, a barber, but the document did not give his home address. The young man tried to find a marriage certifi cate, but was unsuccessful. He was likewise unsuccessful In finding the certificate In Oregon City. In search ing the records of the Odd Fellows in Portland he found a man who said that the elder Noble had worked In a barber fhop at 89 North Third street, and bad lived In Fulton Park. Friend of Father Found. There Is a clothing store now on the site of the shop, but in a nearby saloon Noble found a barber, who had know his father. Before the young man had made his errand known the stranger said: "Why, you are young Noble. I would know our face anywhere. I knew your father well." The stranger could tell him nothing, however, of the present whereabouts of his par ent, and neither could an old Port land barber, who formerly worked with his father help him out. Noble feels certain that his mother has relatives in Portland or Oregon City, and is anxious to learn her maiden name to locate her or her people. He declared upon leaving Oregon City that he would devote the remainder of his life to trying to find his mother, or if she is dead, to learn ing who she was and if she has rela tives living.
