One day this week the newa was
spread abroad in Oanemah that a boy
was lost. Some contended that the boy
had fallen in a well; others that he had
waiideied away and became lost iu the
wo ids. Half the town were aiding in
the Bearch. There wan rt inoing when
the hoy was found sitting on the roof of
woodshed, enjoying the commotion he
had made, but the loy that reigned on
account of finding the lost, did not pre
vent the boy trom getting a salutary
spanking. Ed Midlam's throe-year old
sou was seen playing near the well, but
soim nttenvai-d when called by his
mother, the child was nowhere to be
found. He was always dutiful to an
swer when called, but no response came
this time. . One person peered into the
well to see if a possib'e body w.iuld rise
to the surface, while others looked iu
every direction. The boy s mother and
giaudmother were almost disconsolate,
until he was discovered on the roof of
the woodshed.
On Wednesday Sheriff Cooke com
pleted the assessment of 20,809 acres of
land contracted to be sold by the Oregon
& California Railroad Company to pri
vate individuals, which had heretofore
been iu dispute aa to title between the
railroad company and the government,
and did not come under the jurisdiction
of the assessor. The assessment was
completed on 40,009 acres of land be
longing to the Oregon & California Rail
road Company in the Northern Pacific
overlap. The total tax on the former
lor 1899 is $1015 13, and on the lattei
$1329 17. After the decision was made
last winter by the United States eu
preme court that the Oregon & Califor
nia Railroad Company was entitled to
the lands in question, the company paid
up the back taxes on both the contract
and other lands that accrued during the
litigation. Now it is understood that
the settlers will pay the taxes on the
contract lands. Sheriff Cooke and Dep
uty Jack have been working of nights to
get these lands listed.
