Objection were made to Bishop Bowman, of Chicago, presiding. The conference flnally.after much wrangllng.sustalned lllshop Bowman, and Revs, Poling, Hirsehncr, Locke and Bolinger, were expelled from tho inhibitory, This action Is final luutil the general con ference In lH!)t, when they may appeal It was rather cheeky for the Clatsop county court to deliberately scale down the total assessment one-third, but Jackson county beat them alt. The court, we understand, struck off from the assessment roll over a million dollars worth of property, and then had It assessed by tho sheriff. All this was done by a democratic court to avoid state taxes. What will men not do to cheat the state. Tho school directors, however, are kicking because there Is too little aehonl money. Of course tho people of Polk county have learned to believe every sentence Issuing from the press of Dillas The transparent He which are told of Independence, may fill space In thejr papers but they only further convince the people that their desperate game reoulrcs desperate remedies and no tatement made by them can be rdlcd upon. No ouo seriously thinks a $40,- 000 court house will suit as an anchor. Yamhill county Is too near us, to have it history forgotten so soon. On Wednesday afternoon the big saw mill cut Its lirst lumber. The engine, the big bolt, which cost $.1 a foot and all the machinery moved off smoothly aud without accident.

The bltf engine puffed and labored, and finally the steel pins holding. the saw in tne mm drel were snapped off and the engine1 went ahead. As there was quite a number of spectator you may Imagine the' scattering which ensued. The damage to the saw was the bending of uuite a number of teeth, but u tncy are Diwton patent, can be easily re placed. AiU' JV CORRESlUiUliN'iS LUCKIAMUTK ITCMS. Hot and dusty.
