worth half a million dollars. General

the real defenders to thia action, though
the electric light company, under their

verdict against the plaintifls in the suit a
motion for a new trial w uu made. Judge
fihattuck last Saturday rendered a de
cision going into the case at considerable
length and denying the motion for a new
trial.
A SlCNSATION Sl'OII.KI) W. B. Hison
atoin, who was before the county court
Homo time ago on a charge of being in
sane and discharged, has not possessed n
kindly feeling toward those whom ho
holds roMponsihle for Unit action against
him. ilis domestic life is not peaceful,
Lust Fiiduy ho reported to the police
that ho hud been shot at while splitting
wood, but that ho was in the act of
picking up a nl ick of wood and the bul
let passed over him and lodged in a door
beyond, lie showed where one door had
a bullet hole in It and the othor had re
ceived the ball. Ho was sure his ene
mies wero plotting to take hia life and
that this was one of the manifestations
of their machinations against him.
When the police came to analyze the
matter, howevor, It was found that th
shot marks were made by a bullet of the
same size carried by a revolver owned
by himself, and an examination of the
weapon, which had been left at a Main
street saloon, disclosed the fact that one
chamber had recently been discharged
and reloaded with a fresh cartridge.
Other circiiiiiHtiinces which the old man
alleged In connection with tlio all'alr
were m dlapiianous that' the whole
thing was shown to be a fuke,

dislodge a rock weighing many tons In
order to prevent Its doing damagn hv

smaller rocks directly opposite the depot

it was deemed best to take care of tbeui,

moving the nhlei'tioiiablu rocks, Hi)
ertt'!titi a crane on the lop of the bluff
uud reached down the face of the rocks
with blocks and tackle, lifting the hsise
rocks to the top. This crumbling of the
abrupt rock ledge that forma an Impor

Oregon City Ii entirely too trilling to lie
noticed from a scenic point of view
though worthy the solicitous attention of
IKionle whose ieraoiia or proarty may
be threatened by the imiendiug frag

Lanii iMPROviiMKST The Willamette
Falla F.lectric company baa eight or ten
men at work clearing timber from Ita
land across tho river. While the com
pany does not announce that it ia going
lo improve Ita whole tract attout 800
acres it has put these men at work
without any specified limit to their op.
erationa and it ia likely that tne entire
tiactwill be cleared up and the timber
disposed of. Most of the timber will be
cut into cord wood and sold in that form.
If it shall be determined that the whole
area owned by thia company shall be
improved, the force of workmen will be
increased and a season of lively work
will ensue. While the company dims
not claim to be anticipating the arrival
of the motor line from Portland most
people will construe this action as In
dicating that the lino will soon be built
up the west side of the river and that a
boom in west side property will be the
result.
Dkatii or JniiiK Holmes Judge Lo
ander Holmes, who was committed to
the asylum from Portland last week in a
nearly dying condition, passed to the bo
yond Thursday. Judge Holmes came
weal at an early day and was promi
nently and plenaantly associated with
the early history of Oregon. He settled
in Oregon City In 1860. lie was delegate
to the republican national convention
inlSOO. This was the convention that
nominated Abraham Lincoln for Presi
dent. Ah Mr. Holmes was unable to at
tend be sent his proxy to Horace Groely,
and the great, editor became a member
of the conversion, and the claim is now
imule that l.inculn g nomination was
largely due to Ureeley's efTorts in his ho
half. The romnhiB of Judge Holmes
were buried Sunday at 1 o'clock in Port
land.
Wild SntAWHKitHV Blossoms There
are not many countries in (lie forty
fourth parallel of latitude that can show
the mid-winter blossoms that western
Oregon exhibits this year. Koses and
chrysanthemums are in nearly overy
door-yard. Last Sunday, January 81,
a numbel of wild strawberry plants wore
found in bloom on tho hillside this side
of Citnenmh. The fresh young blossoms
wero smiling in lite warm sunHhine and
some of them had acquired as pretty
tints as any dainty April posy can show.
The flowers appeared to bo there for
business, too, and it will not he long till
delicate wild straw berries will be found
ripening in tho open air. Apples and
pears in a perfect state of preservation
can be pbkod from the trees In many
orchards in thia locality today. Truly,
western Oregon has a glorious climate.
Arthur Bloch lias sold bis general
merchandise business at Milwaukee to
Messrs. Gary & Wissington of that town,
who took possession the first of the

then return to San Francisco where he
will engage in the book binding busl
