Two dances were all the festivi ties had in this neighborhood Christmas eve at the grange hall and Christina night at the Payne school house. Both were fairly well attended. Most of our dancers from this part went to Canyon Creek. - We wish to make a slight correction of an article in last week's Ektibfhisi. The par ty that went after Alvis Russell was Frank 8herman, Alvis Davis and Wm. Wells. They started for Ogle Creek mines instead ot Redrock. They reached the Red rock mines all right, and got within one mile o the Ogle Creek camp when darkness over iook tbem and they lost their trail. They Aid not retrace their steps but wandered down Henry creek till midnight, when they Jjuilt a fire and stood around till morning, arhen followed down the creek till they struck (be Molalla, stood out In the snow again that night, and reached the old Joe Davis cabin at noon the next day. They were 36 hours without food, two nights without sleep, waded the Molalla nearly -waist deep twice, and Davis and Wells got their feet frozen. Tbe report that the min ers In Ogle Creek were destitute was en tirely without foundation. It is a lamentable fact that when a man is arrested on suspicion of a crime, the newspapers must take bim np and convict him whether guiltv or not. It seems a travesty on justice that officers of the law should accept the unsupported state ment of a self-convicted jailbird as sufficient evidence to lead them to go 200 or 300 miles and take a man and bring bim into custody with no evidence whatever agsinst him, It seems that the officers have acted a very imbecile part in the matter of making ar rests In tbe Brown murder case from the very start Logan Locals. Logak, Dec. 30. Rain, rain, rain, and still it rains. Plenty of mud and roads are getting quite bad. Christmas has come and gone, It was observed in various ways in Logan. One feature was a Christmas tree at tbe church where many little hearts were made glad by the appearance of old fianta Clans. There was a large crowd and plenty of pres ents, and all enjoyed a pleasant time. Death recently visited Logan again, tak ing this time Mrs. Trotter, sister of Mrs. M. W.Baker, She was a victim of that dread disease consumption, and had been con fined to her bed only a short time when she died. She was lately from Kansas, and only 30 years old. She was buried in the Logan cemetery. The family have the sympathy of all. At the last meeting of the Logan literary and debating society, tbe election of officers took place, as follows: R. G. Ginther, president; J. C. Sprague, vice president; Mrs. Belle Wilson, secretary; F. Wilson, treasurer. The subject for next meeti ng is Resnlved' That the signs of the times indi- cute t!uit another war is inevitable between the l.'iiiied Stales ai d England. There will also be the reuding ol the lignn paper. The Christmas dance at the hall was a siiccem. We understand a goodly crowd was j. re-ei land a pleasant time was had. There were 10 numbers. Harding grange will hold its next rewihir meeting on Saturday, the 4i li. The meet ing will tie public in the allernonn when the Installation of ulllcers will take place. The Masons held their meeting on Satur day last, when their Installation of ollW'crs ami a least took place.

I The Christmas tree at the church was elaborately trimmed with tissue paper chains, catstairs, stars, watches etc., ami an abundance of candy and nuts were stacked up at its base for the Sunday school scholars. A neat program was rendered and every thing was as quiet and orderly aa any one could wish. The names of the Sunday school classea were read otl by the secretary and how many limes they had attended In given length of lime and the candies were passed to them by brothers Jaster and Kentter, after which a basket and a box, each containing candies nuts and salt ginger snaps (beer cakes) were passed around among the congregation, and all were requested to partake, especially of the cakes. The house was filled beyond its seating capacity and many bad to stay out side and look through the windows lo have a good view. The Frog Pond Christmas tree was im mense and lighted up in a most perfect and artistic manner. Words cannot do justice in describing what was there, and what wasn't, but a good, active Imagination would hardly be able to surpass it in g-an-deur, such niinature lights and so numer ous. Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters were present and well remembered by their friends through St. Nick. Articles from a tin horn to a bed lounge niamiuoth d Us 2 feet wide, bed clothing, tea sets, bureaus tables, mustache cups for the la-lies, gold watches, pens and lalse teeth were con spicuous by their absence. Several small private trees aHoided con siderable amusement. Look out! old bachelors, lxtn! is the laities year, so don't encroach upon their rights. Just think of it, they have no other chance for eight years, so be carelul and don't throw too manv obstruction iit their paths.
