I ROSEBURG, DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1009. NO. 1ft Geo. M. Brown and B. L. Eddy Are the Principals EFFECTIVE ON JANUARY 1 Finn Hns SecuifU OHIi'i-s In tlm X'W Munonic liulHIing Itrunn to lie nuiiii District Attoriu-y For The l'li'Si-iit. Considerable Burprlse was occas ioned among the legal fraternity of our city this morning, when It be came known that Geo. M Brown, for the past twelv) yearn prosecuting at torney for tola dintrlct, and Hon. B. L. Eddy, for the past four years Reg ister of the local United States land office, had formed a partnership, the tltU of such fli m to be recognized as "Brown & Eddy, Attorneys-at-Law." The partnership becomes effective on January 1, at which time Mr. Eddy .retires from the government payroll Offices have been reserved In the new Masonic building, where the members of the new Arm will at all times be found In readiness to serve in .the best interests of their clients. George M. Pi own, the senior mem ber of the firm needs no introduction to tho citizens of this county. In fact, it might be said- that he Is rec ognized throughout the entire state as one of the most able prosecutors in the West. In late years Mr. Brown has been mentioned frequently as a proper aspirant for the office of United Slates Prosecuting Attorney, but for various reasons he declined to even consider the urgent requests of his friends. Mr. Brown is a native of Oregon; he waB educated in the public schools of this state, and when but a young man decided to study law. Accord ingly he spent IffiS leisure time in study, and late In the year 1888 en tered the office of Attorney J. V. Ful lerton where he remained until the year 1890 when he was admitted to the bar. During S. W. Condon's adminis tration as prosecuting attorney of this district I!r. Brown served as his deputy, and ill tho year 1894, alter one o the hardest contested pnllti sal campaigns ever known in this sec tion, captured the district attorney ship of this district. Since that time he has served the people faithfully not only in the capacity of his of fice, but publicly as well. ' Hon. B. L. Kddy, the Junior mem ber of the new iirm. although not a resident of this county as long as his associate, is well known, his con nections ns ltegister of the local United Stntes land office having plac ed him In a position to meet many citizens of the county frequently. Prior to coming to Boselmrg In the year 1105 to assume his duties in the land office, Mr. Kddy resided in Northwestern Oregon for several years. He concluded his studios In tho law Inw department of the University of Oregon in the year 1S9 4, being ad mitted to practice in ths same year. Later he went to Portland where he practiced his favorite profession un til late in the year of 1S96 when he became dissatisfied and moved to Northwestern Ore., locating at Tilla mook. There Mr. Kddy practiced law until the yenr 1905 when he moved to Roseliurg. Pnrlng his residence at Tillamook. Mr. Kddy was twice elected a member of the Oregon legislature, and during the session of 1003 caus ed to be passed the Corporation tax law, which measure has since return ed the state a revenue exceeding $100 000 per year. Mr.' Kddy was the author of the bill, and through his efforts it passed both Houses. The measure Is similar to the corpor ation tax clause attached to the United States tariff bill. Mr. Eddy al so promoted the organization of the Tillamook County lir.nk, of which concern he acted as director for sev eral years. Mr. Eddy's efficiency as an attor ney is unquestioned and that he will become one of the leading lights In the local legal circle seems assured.

ILlDll!IKDr-n Is Found a Short Distance From His Lonely Home PRACTICALLY NAKED That He Fell From His Horse While Hiding Through the Woods Friends Leave For The Scene. A telephone message received at the local forestry office shortly be fore noon today from Peel, conveyed the information that "Old" Hill Urad ley, who resides alone on a ranch in the lllehee district, about 30 miles north of Peel on tho North Ump qua river, had been found by forest rangers late last evening lying a short distance from his cabin.
