Liltlo Herbert Ball, son of Mrs. I
Fields, was taken to Portland to a

an operation will have to be per
formed. Chas. Lamberson, who was recent

Saturday morning en route for Oak
land, California, where they will
visit Mr. Campbell's mother. Mr. !

Harry Kurtz can consider himself
lucky in pulling out of an accident
that nine times out of ten would'
have resulted in the loss of an eye.
Mr. Kurtz was taking the stopper!
out of a bottle of nitric acid, when,1
it exploded, throwing the acid intoj
his face and eyes. Fortunately, Dr.
Schmidt was present and by quick
aid the optic was saved. Review.

Clatsop county, belonging to the
state, used in the construction of
the Columbia river highway, but is

Kit Conyers, who held a promi
nent place in our High School athlet
ics, is gaining further laurels at the
O. A. C. We quote the following from
the Oregoniun of the 13th inst.:
"Prospects for a winning combina
tion appear brighter every day. Cou
yers, who was in college last year,
but unable to play baseball, due to
close application to his studies, ap
pears to be one of the finds of the
year. Since outdoor practice began
he has startled the large nightly as
sembly of fans by his spectacular
fielding in the outer gardens, and
when wielding the bat has met the
ball square and hard."
March 14, lS66-March 14, 1916,
are the two dates which stand out
most prominent In the life journey

ter says that "Mr. Graham Is not

Mr. Graham. Miss 8nyder has the
distinction of being the first lady
ever employed In the Uoulton postof
fice. The work to her however, is
not new as she was formerly employ
ed for two years in the postoftlco at
Independence, Oregoiit under Marsh
Merwln as postmaster.
Miss Ellen White, daughter of T.
S. White, spent Saturduy and Sunday
with friends In Portland, returning
on train Sunday nlgbt.
Tho students In tho High School
from Uoulton feel greatly elated of
the honors secured by them In a re
cent spelling contest. Their victory
speaks well for Prof, llrehaut and
his corps of teachers. To those who
fell behind we offer this word of con
solation: "Never mind, when sim
plified spelling is authority, then 'we
kin aul spol. "
Miss Odelma l'lummcr, daughter
of B. G. and Mrs. Plunimer, was tak
en seriously ill Friday last and Is
stllle confined to the house. Her
many friends and school companions
extend their sympathy and hopo for
a speedy recovery.
Dr. L. G. Kosb was a passenger on
the Sunday afternoon train for Port
land. The doctor stopped at Seup
poose, where he took chargo of a par
alytic patient whom he accompanied

A letter from William Goodman of
Uoulton, who is now in Northern
Michigan, being called there by the
serious illness of his father, says:
"We have four feet of snow in the
woods, and it is still snowing. The
workmen have to use snow plows
about half of each day in order to be
able to work at all." Will Is anxious
to return to the "land of rain and
mud."
H. J. Anderson of this city, who
has not yet learned all about driving
an auto, had quite an accident on
Saturday last in which tho new Over
land came out second best, when he
collided with a stump. Result, a bent
axle and a battared fender. Fortun
ately Mr. Anderson and the other oc
cupants of the car escaped without
injury. Cheer up, Harlow, It Is all
experience, our humble servant hud
a similar affair once, when his car
ran across lots, through a barbed
fence and Into his neighbor's gurden.
The blamed thing wouldn't stop
when I said whoa.
Miss Belli Perry was saleslady at
the cooked food sale held Saturday
last by the Ladies' Aid in tho Cham
bers maat market In this city. We
noticed Beveral interested parties
lookin" in at tho window. Geo. Wil
son and the Methodist minister stood
for awhile during the sale, not on a
burning deck, but on the sldewulk in
front of the window engaged In the
very pleasant occupation of eatln' a
'punkin pie," bought of the ladles
They were put out on tho sidewalk
as a sign. T. S. Robertson saw or
smelted the plo and came just In
time to help George out, but the
preacher did not need help with his
half. If you don't believe that pie
was good, ask Wilson or Robertson

ganized Wednesday night at tho
Congregational church. Mr. Fowler
was elected chairman. Tho meetings,
as a whole, are under the charge of
Rev. Johnston, who will givo the
young folks a talk on some Interest
ing subject each evening.
There were a couple of arrests
mado last Saturday night at the
dance at West's pavilion. We under
stand the arrests were made for hav
ing liquor on the grounds which n.
autolsts brought with them. Several
auto loads of people camo from other
towns and from Portland to these
dances and also on other nights when
we suppose they go on through to St.
Helens. At any rate, they are a ter
rible nuisance and cause a great deal
of disturbance. There seems to he
an attraction at tha gravel pit, one
half mile south of town and opposite
this correspondent's house. We are
so frequently awakened by the yell
ing, swearing and carousing that we
almost lose our patience. We hope,
if the sheriff ever comes up and dis
covers this bunch of outlaws, that he
will not have the
neighbors arrested for running a
uuiiu pig.
