A gentleman just in from the Bo-

There is a bit of history connected
with the rjoatnffice of Rickreall. Or..
commonlv known aa Dixie by the older
inhabitants of Polk county. The post
office was established back in the tlx
ties. The first name suggested was
"Dixie." But at that time tne war leei-
ing was at a high pitch, and Colonel
Nesmith, aa godfather of the new office,
advised dropping of the "South-down"-
aoanaing iiue ami buubuiuviuk mo
name "La Creole," after the beautiful
atream on which it lies. An error was
made in spelling the word by its sound
in Washington, and the office went
officially upon record a "Rickreall" and
has remained that way ever since.
James 0. Mason, formerly postmaster

was arraigned in the United States Dis
trict Court at Portland the other day,
and entered a plea of guilty. United
State Attorney Mays recommended
that a fine of 500 be imposed, in de
fault thereof the criminal to be sentenced
to a term of imprisonment. Uonnsel for
Mason said the money conld be raised,
w sentence was deferred and prisoner
remanded to jail. Mason stood well in
the community until this crime was
charged against him, and some now
think that he pleaded guilty to screen
mm, of his family who committed the
crime. He made good the amount of
the order some time ago.
The report that the Great Northern
railroad has let a contract to D. C
Shenard for the construction of a rail
road from Butte through Boise to San
Francisco la unfounded. H. C. llenrv.
of Shepard, Henry A Co., said the other
dav that he was sure there wa no truth
in it, for the Great Northern had not
even made a reconnoissance, much less
a survey, over the route in question.
The Union Pacific made a survey some
years ago, but has done nothing further,
Such a road would run through a niin
inir district in Montana, and a good ir
rigable country in Southern Idaho,
though but slightly developed. But on
striking Eastern Oregon it would enter
a desert ss hopeless as Sahara. It wonld
enter good country again around Klam
ath Lake, in Southwestern Oregon, and
from there would run through sood
country in California. It would be 1,200
miles or more long, and would be as great
an undertaking as the present Paeifio
stenttoti oi tne ureat worinern.
