Last Saturday night in Smith's hop
house was held a most successful auc
tion gale and ioe cream social. After
a short, bnt pithy address of welcome
by Rev. Mr. Rorinf?, the auctioneer,
Mr. Andrew Klove, commenced to

essential articles that the Ladies' Aid
Society of this place had furnished.
As soon as Mr. Kleve had finished th
sale, the ioe cream, cake and coffee

The farmers are all wearing a broad
smile on account of the rain, for it
will make the gardens and the late

late potatoes.
Mr. E. M. Morris has sold the J. 0.

Much Talk, Little Cause.
Union Mills, Oregon.
Editor Oregon Oity Conner:
la last week's issue of the Courier
there appeared in the Union Mills
items quite a sensational story about
someone entering and ransacking
through 0. P. Mallalt's house while
Mrs. Mallatt was calling for a few
minutes on Mrs. Husband.
The facts of the story are as fol
lows: Jot Mallatt, while returning
from his work in the evening, stopped
at his brother's house to get a pipe
and some matches for a smoke. Hind'
ins no one at home, he went in and
searched for the dosired articles, fail'
ing to find them, but leaving a few
things out ot place. Henoe the pre'
vailing exoitement. .
No, there are no new diseases in
Union Mills, bnt some of the old ones
are flourishing like a green bay tren.
With the welfare ot the friends and
neighbors in view and hoping thii
will suffice for explanation of the
affair, we, the undersigned, beg to
remain Sincerely Yours.
ALTHA M. OULBERTSON
MRS. 0. P. MALLATT.

The good rain of June 20 spoiled all
the little potatoes. The farmers will
now have outs and wheat to sell and
keep.
We have just finished cultivating
our potato crop, tho third time, and
the rain did the best work. We plant
ed tomatoes, 70 plants, on the south
side of a solid board fence, to reflect
the heat of the nun and hasten growth
and ripen a finely flavored tomato.
We have made a reservoir about one
foot from the plant, and put about
one-third bucket of soap suds in tho
hole, each week. The plants are
growing luxuriantly. Last season we
had, by this method, nearly a half
bnshel of ripe tomatoes per vine.
We planted pons for a succession of
feasts, of which we are now enjoying
the first.
"The king of the garden," the
beans, both pole and bush, are doing

The Champion Rake embodies the most practical sug
