Treasurer and Marshall Respectively. The citizens of Willamette at a special election Monday called by the County Court voted to Incorporate the town aa a city. The vote was close 38 to 3C. Three years ago when the city was Incorporated the vote In favor of It waa almost unani mous. Because of the failure of the Coun ty Court to canvass the returns of that election, the Incorporation waa recently declared Invalid and another election waa called. There Is some doubt as to whether the town baa a right to Incorporate as a city under the existing state laws, and the courts probably will be called upon to make a decision. The officers elected Monday are as follows; Mayor J. T. Gary. Recorder H. Leisman. Treasurer A. Bremer. Marshall J. C. Edmonds. Cotincllmen G. L. Snldow, II. T. Shipley, William Criteser, John Ream, Sr.. Frank Oliver and D. A. Duncan. The County Court will canvass the returns the latter part of the week. NCORPORATED ; ilHMHHHUHMIOmi i!

I had received pecuniary support In my Investigations from Huron Wobel and. after trying two or three experl ments on subjects, announced to hitu that I could keep a man nt the same apparent age from the moment I liegan to treat him for an Indefinite period The baron waa much Interested and asked mo many questions concerning my process what danger there might be to the patleut, my ability to contin ue It and what would be the result for him after my death. I satisfied him on most of these points, whereupon he told me that a commoner. Ilerr Schof fenholer, enormously rich, was desir ous of uniting lib wealth to the bar on's title. Ilerr Schoffenholer had a daughter aged twenty, and the baron had a son aged two. These were the only children boru to either family. The only wny to unite the wealth and the title was to marry these two. Hut the difference of age was an Insur mountable difficulty. " 'Now.' auld the baron to me. 'If you Ian keep Frauleln Schoffenholer nt her f resent age till my son Is old enough to marry the two Interests may be united.' "Here was a cbnnce to try an exper iment under favorable conditions. Aft er numerous family councils at which great deal of opposition was raised Ilerr Schoffenholer decided the matter by compelling his daughter to submit to ray .treatment. I was not Informed of this compulsion or that the fraulein was In love with a young guardsman, a few years her senior. Had I been I would not have consented to act la the matter.

The baby boy Wobel waa nineteen, tho frauleln thirty-seven and the guardsman forty. The latter bad never married, and hla love for tbo frauleln bad grown to be a dominant passion with him. He was getting gray and bald and showed oth er signs of corning old age. On the contrary the girl he worshiped bad all the freshness Vf youth. Her beauty bad not been In the least Impaired.

GENERAL FEBRUARY And What He Brought About By HARRIET C THOMPSON Tbo czar of Russia ear that they bare two general oo whom tbey can rely to (frivo out an enemy, these war rior being General January and Gen eral February. Among those flying before the re doubtable General February waa Peter Apherson, a middle aged bachelor, who took a train for Hampton I loads. Mr. Apherson, sitting one evening, when tbe first faint balm of spring was coming np from tbe south, on a bench facing the water, aw a lady pas blm whose face seemed vaguely asso ciated with some previous existence. Bhe was walking with an elderly wo man, who appeared from a likeness be tween tbe two to be ber mother. Tbe ladle walked on for some distance, returned, and tbe elder, seeing tbe op posite end of tbe bench from the one on whlcb Apherson sat unoccupied. In sisted on resting there. Ten minutes later the ladles arose and went on. Apherson followed them with his eyes till they were lost In the throng of promenadera and still long er with bl thoughts. Presently rising. be waa about to leave tbe spot when be saw a purse where they bad been sitting. He took It In charge. Expecting be might find aometblng to give blm a clew to tbe owner, be opened it; but. seeing nothing except moDey, be closed it again. He bad little doubt of finding the lady who bad dropped It for there were not many people at tbe place and they In a narrow compass. Indeed, tbe very next morning In a sun parlor of bl hotel facing the "roads" he saw the younger of the two ladles sitting alone. Approaching her. he handed ber the purse. She thanked blm. It seemed to him mechanically, or. rather, without surprise. Place In company a man and a wo man, both unmarried, not too old. and ten to one they will sooner or later get on the subject nearest to their hearts. The subject nearest to the hearts of both men and women of middle age Is finding some one of the opposite sex with whom to make a home. But they discuss the matter In goneral terms, carefully steering In tbe broad current, though sometimes they get to particularizing before they know It "Are you married?" asked the lady. "No, I am not, but I confess I would like to be. I bave grown to an age wherein single life ha lost Its rest. 1 live at a club and am bored there. But what can I do? Marriage-marriage with mating is not a matter that can be arranged as one would rent a bouse or buy an automobile. In my case there Is a special obstruc tion. When I was twenty I was en gaged to a young girl, whom I lost. I was tten Impecunious, and her family would not hear of a match between us. My fiancee relied upon roe as to what was best to lie done, and I felt It my duty to tell her tbnt we should part My heart remains with ber. Should I marry today honesty would compel me to confess that I could only give a wife a companionable af fection. "I am In very much the same situa tion." replied the lady. "At nineteen I married a man selected for me by my mother. He was much older thau I and wealthy. I could not give hlra my heart, but at that time 1 did no consider It obligatory to tell him so. I lo"ed another during my married life of ten years and love that other today. Should 1 marry I should now feel It lncumlent on me to tell the man I married that he must be con tent with companionship." In this vein they chatted till noon when the lady withdrew. They met often after that In the sun parlor Apherson gave tbe widow opimrtunity to tell hiro more about herself, but ei ther she did not take his hints or she was not lucllned to give the desired Information. One day Apherson aald to ber: "As 1 told you when we first met 1 am very tired of single life. I wish a corapaulon with whom to make a borne. I would be pleased to exchange Information coueernlug ourselves with a view to marriage. You uuderst-iud that my heart was long ago given to another and remains wilh that other todny.

T DECIDE UPON SITE COUNCIL TO BE ASKED TO GIVE LOCATION JUST BELOW M'LOUGHLIN PARK. MAINTENANCE MONEY NOW ASSURED Trustee Decide Not To Move From Present Quarter Until New Building I Ready For Us. The trustees of the Oregon City Library have decided upon the ait of the old Singer flour mill, which la west of the Singer Hill road, eaat of the Southern Pacific track and be tween Seventh and Ninth streets, a the location for the building which Andrew Carnegie haa agreed to pro ride for the city. The trustees will at the next meeting of the city council present a petition asking that the city turn over the property to the asso ciation. A request also will be made, If the council agrees to the use of the site for a library, that It be surveyed and platted by the city engineer. The trustees of the association think the location the roost admirable one ob tainable. It command a fine view of tbe river and valley, and will be seen by all persons paaalng through the city. The Increased valuation of property for assessment purpose as sures tbe library without increasing the levy of one-half mill of an Income from thla source of almost $1,300 a year. Mr. Carnegie In bis letter, agreeing to give J12.S00 for a library In this city stipulated that $1,200 an nually must be assured for maintain ing the Institution. Wltb the permis sion of the city to use the lot decided upon by the trustees all the require ments of Mr. Carnegie- will bave been met and work on the building will be started. The trustee have decided not to move from present quarters until the new building is ready for occupancy. The executive committee of the Ma sonic Lodge insisted that the library association, which pays $18 a month for the use of the room, should fur nish its own light. Heretofore the lodge has furnished the light. A sug gestion was made that another room be obtained, but It found that the cost of moving probably would be greater than the expenditure for light until the new building U ready for use.
