It is true aome of the ladios who sat in the courtroom and listened to the Isenhart case were subpoenaed as wit nesscs, but they wore not obliged to stay in the courtroom only when they were on the stand. Again, the editor of Tin Mist has not asked any post master abont the ciroulatian of any contemporary, as insinuated in the Chief.

Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Pair. : 'Dli ' MM tMot Perfect Made. AO Years the Standard. Emkrbon Not Guilty. The case of tlie State of Oregon against F. L. Emerson, indicted by the grand jury for larceny by bailee, was tried in the circuit court Wednesday and resulted in a verdict of not guilty, the jury be ing out only a short time. The facts which led up to this case are abont as follows: Emerson engaged in the logging business and S. A. Miles was furnishing the money. The former execnted a chattel mortgage to Miles on a certain lot of sawlogs and also several yoke of oxen, the amount stip ulated being several hundred dollars. A little later more money was needed in the business and Miles furnished it taking a second mortgage on the logs only. The logs were contracted and sold by Emerson to a Portland mill, but the mill company declined to pay the money to anyone except Miles as mortgagee. They did, however, send Emerson due bills for the value of the logs payable on demand. These Ent er. on presented to Miles and directed thai they be applied to the payment of the first mortgage. Miles declined to accept the orders as payment of the first mortgage and in a lew days went to Portland, drew the money due on tho loirs and applied it on the second mortgage which was on the logs only, which left the first mortgage still against the logs and cattle. Emerson believing that inasmuch as he had di rected the money to be applied to the mortgage which covered the cattle and therefore that claim had been paid took part of the cattle and sold thorn. Miles obtained the rest of the cattlo, foreclosed the mortgage and sold them at sheriffs sale. The court instructed the jury that Emerson had a right, prior to the time Miles drew the money, 10 direct on what mort gage it should be applied; and since the evidence suoweo mis state or lacts the jury found the above verdict When Baby was sick, we gare her Cantoris. When ahe w a Child, she cried for Cantoris, When she became Hiss, she citing to Contort. When she had Children, she gave them Cantoris. Edwin Robs, the drugeiKt, will tell you that no one is better qualified to judge of the merits of an article than the deal -r, because he bases his opin ion on the experience of all who use it. For this reason he wishes us to publitth the remarks of other dealers about an article which he handles, Messrs. C. F. Moore & Co., Newberg, Oregon, says: "We sell more of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy than all otb era put together, and it always gives good satisfaction." Mr. J. F. Allen, of Fox, Oregon, says : "I believe Cham berlain's Cough Remedy to be the best I have handled." Mr. W. H. Hitchcock, Columbus, Wash., says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy sells well and is highly praised by all who use it." DEER ISLAND. Mrs. Thorn returned to her home in Portland last week after spending tlie sum mer nre. Cbarlev Merrill has secured a contract from the LaOainas paper mill for a year's ran of Cottonwood. Hon. Norman Merrill, wife and baby, of Clatskanie, visited his mother and other relatives last Sunday. Lvinan Merrill spent a few days In Port land last week and visited the fair. He was very well pleased with the exhibit. Al Michaels was shaking hands with friends here a week ago last Tuesday. He returned to Cliitskanie last Friday. J. M. Payne was called to Portland lat week to the hwlHide of his father, who was taken suddenly ill, bnt the last word re ceived he was convalescing. Some parties hava purchased land of George Fuster at Goble, and the report is circulated that work has already begun oa acannery. At this writing wa are unable to learn who the parties are. There is an excellent site there for a cannery, and un doubtedly a fish cannery eould be made a success at that point Isaao Bnmgardner is back from Southern Oregon, arriving home on Tuesday of last week greatly improved in health. He had taken a hunt down in California, and visited the famous sulphur spring, which he found very beneficial. His family are still in Ash land where they intend to spend the win ter. He intends to return in a short time. John Reddick, of Clatskanle, passed here last Monday morning on his war home from the county seat and other points up the river. He talked freely of the man the bovs took for George Upton on the Neha lem mountain, and strongly asserts that the man was Upton, and oilers convincing proof that he was the man whose way the deputy sheriff paid to Astoria. We see no reason why some farm pro duce and fruit from this district is not on exhibition at the Portland fair, particularly potatoes. James Gaitens has a potato on exhibition at the postofnee that weighs pounds and 11 ounces, measuring 18 inches In length and 10 !i inches in circumference. This ia a perfect marketable potato. We believe Mr. Gaitens will find some larger than this before he will finish digging. The above potato was grown on light sandy soil on the river bottom. He dug about 300 bushels off about 1 aores, which is a very fair orop for such a dry season as the past summer, considering the ground. With interest we read Mr. Gray's article "Salvation Comes Cheap." We must be lieve that there was some misunderstand ing about the collection, and think the good people of the county seat should have contributed more. But why have any col lection at all T It is the wrQiig way to bring people to church.. Many would come to church, but not having a reasonable sura to drop In tlio collection plate, keeps them at home, but whore the doors are open and the church is free vou will Bee many attend. The best way Is to subsoribe a given amount and then there is no reason wny your town could not raise bv subscription $500 a year. and not take up any collection. Then we believe the minister would not talk to empty pews.
