II. C. WikcfT dropped in at. tbi
olllce last Wednesday morning to tell
us good by, us he was to leave on the
afternoon train for bis new home at
Fiigene. Mr. Wikoir likes this part
of thu country, and says that be has
done well here, but that I. is company
ha given him a good position at Kugene.
He stales that bis principal reason for
leaving is the fact that. his oldest boy is
beyond the grades taught in tb present
school, and that be wants to get where
tin school facilities are liefer. The fact
that next year there will 0 no chance
to say this is eomething t'i .1 v.e should
all be thankful for. Doub.V.- n die past
lew years we have lost many e'.tlers on
account of lack of ncho .1 facili- es, and
there will be another bi inducement
for people to come here when the new
school is completed.
It is now Judge Tom White, of Houl
ton. At the rgeular meeting of the
Houlton City Council held Monday
night, II. C. Wikoff resigned the office
of City Recorder, prepaiatory to leaving
for Iviigene, and Mayoi Welch appointed
T. S. White to (ill the vacancy, and
tb'-'genial Tom assmu d t'it -rmiue and
will make a good magistrate.

PROMINENT MAN FLEES
What now appears to be one of the
most revolting case ever brought before
'bo officers of thU county, is that, of the
Stale of Oregon against Edd Macaiu
tosh, ex-vice president of the Rainier
Lumber and Shingle Co., and up to the
time of hi sudden departure last week
the sufierintendent of their plant at Rai
nier. Il Mackintosh ia guilty of one half
of the things with which he is charged
he i certainly a man of the lowest kind
and, while at present he seems hard to
catch, it I to he hoped that the officers
get their band on him, and he will have
to pay the penalty for hi crimes in o
far as the law can make him. The war
rant for hi arrest wa sworn ont by Olof
Peterson, of Rainier, and Peterson claims
that for some time Mackintosh ha been
luring his children away from home and
to different secluded ipots around Rai
nier and treating them in a way that will
put him behind the bars if be is caught
and found guilty. Sheriff A. E. Thomp
son went to Rainier on Saturday looking
for the man and makes systematic search
of his house, with the assistance of Mar
shal James Jesse. Ha also investigated
several clues a9 to the mans whereabout
aud i pretty weli satisfied that he is
some where in British Colombia. It is
said that Mackintosh has been in similar
trouble before.
Mr. and Mr. Frank Wilkins and
children eturned from a two weeks
visit with relatives and friends last Wed

It has been a (tout twenty year since
Mr. Wilkin was in Westport, and he
says that at the time he was there he
had some thirty relatives in that neigh
borhood, but that the total is now over
seventy. He resumed bis duties as mar
shal on Wednesday night, and Fred
Watkin, who has been wearing the star
n his absence, was tickled to d -ath to
ee him back.
