At Sawyers Ferry Away down on the classic l'inpna there assembled an immense crowd ol country folks and the natal day was ap propriately celebrated with patriotic sons, recitations and S-eches.

The firecracker brigades were out early and in full force. The weather was simply perfect and Roeeburg, giving way to the country towns this year, turned out and contributed largely to the attendance of each of tne county celebrations. Every body threw formality and stiffness aside and tried to believe that he was a boy again and enjoying as only a boy can a regular old-fashioned country celebra tion. At Yoncalia The Rosebnrg Orchestra furnished splendid music for the Yoncalia celebra tion and grand ball in the evening at which place fully a carload of Roee butgers celebrated, while people swelled At Myrtle Creek The Roeeburg band furnished at Myrtle vreek anil attracted lully a carload or more of our citizens thither.

A large crowd wa present. At Calapooia A pleasant and enjoyable day was spent by a large gathering of people on the Calapooia near Stephens postoffice, which occasion partook more of a conu try picnic than a celebration, but was greatly enjoyed by all present.

The change was made because it was thought that the fifty-cent charge which merely permitted the visitor to the grounds was unreasonable, since the exhibit palaces ate not kept open in the evening. to the jury immediately on the con clusion of Heney's speech. The charge was fair and satit factory to both parties. He told the jury it was its duty to con vict if there was no reasonable doubt as to his guilt, otherwise the verdict should lie for acquittal. The gist of the matter was whether MitcLell knew at the time the money was paid, what and wherefor it was psid, and whether he had done work before the department xpecting compensation. The act was for the jury to decide. The case went to the jury at 3:30 o'clock.

Points of law will be closely ex amined with this in view, and if possible the I'nited States Circuit Court of Ap peals will be passed over. Upon being questioned, District Attornev Frances J.
