Hlaey who has so acceptably filled the pulpit here for the past four years, was transferred to Qresh. urn and will have charge of the church mere together with several other smaller churches. Itev. S. D. Johnson of Clatskanle, win come to hi. nolens to rill the pastorate heretofore occupied by Ke Hlaey. 0. A. Spless. a teacher ln the Bt. Helens high school, has been ap- pointeu aa associate pastor of the lo oil church. Many people In St. Helens, and es pecially tne congregation of lie v. II lacy, will regret that the confer ence has seen fit to take him from Bt. Helens. He has been an earnest worker and has accomplished much for the church and there are those who doubt the wisdom of the confer ence In taking Mm away from St. Helens. To the new minister, Rev. John son, the Mist extends a cordial wel come and hopes that hla administra tion will be as successful aa that of his predecessor. WIFE DIDN'T BELIEVE HER HUSBAND DEAD Although holding In her hand - formal notice from tho War depart ment stutlng that hor husband had mude the supreme sacrifice on the battlefields of France, Mrs. William E. Arnold absolutely refused to be- liovo that her husband was dond and alio had good reason to doubt the veracity of the department's roport, for at the tlmo o.' receiving the re port, her husband hr.d returned from overseas and had boon at homo for four months and was right then In her presence. Captain Arnold who Is district sup erintendent for tho Warron Couotruc lion company, incidentally mentioned the occurrence when ho was discus slug the awards of Victory medals to the soldiers. The cr.ptaln, who is a .iuanltih-Amorlcan w:-.r voteran, saw two years of service In the World war oversea and was a captain ln the iinglneorit, and Is about the liveliest dead soldier we havo seen, a fact the workers under him will attest.

E HAT WAS AN AWFUL BLAST UP IN MAINE CIRCUIT COURT CONVENES MONDAY DIXON RESIGNS; BROWER APPOINTED Change In IVreonnnl of City Council Hlrwt Improvrmont Aa-eeHmenUi Made and other Uuslneea Trail a- acted In hint Meeting for Weeka. The city council met ln regular session Monday night. All members vere present except Councilman Dlx- jD. It was the first tlmo for three weeks that there had been a quorum. The first matter of business was :he reading of the resignation of I'ounollman Robert Dixon. Mr. Dix on stated that inasmuch as his term of office would expire in April 1921, ha thought best to resign so that his miocossor'a name might be placed on the ballot at the coming election. The council accepted the resignation. The mayor stated that the next order of buolneas was the appoint ment or a successor to Mr. Dixon. Councilman Wheeler nominated W. H. Brower of West St. Holons, saying that inasmuch as Mr. Browpr had re ceived the highest voto at the mass meeting, he thought It a wtso thing to have Mr. Browor on the council nd that he "would be broken In" when the new council took their teats. The mayor thought that someone from the "Lottvllle section" shoulu 'ie nominated and ar.ld that the city was supposed to be dlvidod Into dis tricts or wards. Councilman O'Con nor agrood with tho mr.yor and stat ed "when I took my seat on the coun cil, no one broke me tn." There was i little argument and when the mayor was reminded that there was a ques tion before the house, he called for a vote and Brower received It and was declared elected councilman. An ordinance as ta tho assessment for the paving of Columbia street was read for the first and second Mme and will come up for final read ing at the next meetlngot the council. Nob H1U Improvement. The mayor and city engineer have recently made a thorough inspection of the street work on Nob Hill and a reDort was handed tn In which some changes had been nrade. The assess ment seemed more equitable than the former one, and with a few align! bhanges, was adopted by the council. An application was received, irom the St. Helens Co-ooerativs Creamery association aoklng permission to build a woodshed adjoining the creamery. The matter was tabled. A renort was received from J. W. Akin as to the amount of dockage col lected on the mun eipal does. Ha enclosed a check for $163 and held in 1100 Dending a settlement of a claim he has againBt the city for (100 for improvements made to the dock. The matter of the improvement was not acted upon but will be taken up Inter. Captain Wm. E. Arnold, superin tendent of the Warren Construction company, appeared before the council nnd asked that steps be taken to pay tl-o rnmnnnv for the improvement of Columbia street. The company had waited long and patiently, he. said, and ' had no disposition to hurry the city, but they needed the money." Ha was informed that as soon as the ordinance was passed and became ef fective, that the money wouia ne forthcoming niimr matters were taken up and acted upon and the usual grist of monthly bills were allowed before the council adjourned.

FIVE ARE WINNERS IN GUESSING CONTEST Adams' Kden Farm Offered Prize of Five Dollars for Guess Nearest to Weight of Hampshire How Five Close Guesses. An Interning event of the recent county fair was guessing on the weight of a Hampshire sow on exhibi tion from Adams' Eden farm. Mr. Adams had offered a prize of $5 ti the person guessing nearest to the weight of the animal. Some 360 guesses were recorded. Th sow, 'Mapleburst Beatrice" by nam, weighed 326 pounds as she ap peared at the Columbia county fair. Her exact weight was not guessed by any who placed their guesses in the ballot box. riowevrr. four persons guessed 326 pounds lino one thought 327 about right, so checks for one dollar each have been received from Adams' Ed n farm of Warren, by those five lucky parties. It was thought bet ter to split 'he prisa offered of, five dMlart, tinre it would have been dif ficult to get the five persons togeth er for a drawing. The four who guessed Z? pounds are; 0. K Dugan, Scappocbe E. Mor ten, warnn: Teddy botj. warren: and H. U. Duncan, Warren. A ten Mar old boy, Clifford Viucent of Houlton placed .his judgment against eperlenced stockmen and made the or.ly guess of 827 pounds Uf i lie .50 guesses tut y nlntey per rent ranged from 20 to 290 pounds, upholding the tiicory that Hampshire hogs are hmvler than they look. The length an.i e'epth of body is very great and th'.u weight Is much greater than hogs of other breed of tha same apparent size. The lowest guess was 135 and the highest 566 pounds. Only 19 ont of the entire number guessed over 350 pounds. It is interesting to note that none of the winners had ever seen the sow until she was shown at this fair and that none of them are butchers or stock buyers. Among those who guessed low but close were. J. Q. Watts of Scappoose, who gained his experience selling ba con and ham; Mrs. T. J. Flippin, it. wife of the county agent; Martin White, county judge and a pretty good Btock Judge; H. O. Howard and Than Brown, stockmen of Yankton; W. H. Faxon, formerly of Houlton; Emma Morton, portrait photograph er of Portland; Mrs. Jack Widows of Marshland; and I. O. Wickstrom of .Scappoose, who used his log scaling experience in judging weight. Among the close guessers who were a few pounds too high Were: Jarvla Davis, of Yankton, Kosco Craycraft of Rain ier, F. W. Lester of Scappoose, D. S. Vincent of Houlton and C. B. Mercer. This contest was one of the most Interesting Incidents of the fair anu much good natured rivalry and com ment centered around tho Hampshire exhibit. No effort was made by Adums' Eden farm to show a really fat animal, the Intention being to demonstrate the surprising weight carrying ability of tho Hampshire In good growing condition. Hogs of this breed sometimes reach a matur ity weight of from 800 to 1000 pounds. . . WILL ATTEND K. OF P. GRAND LODGE SESSION ' E. I.
