was heard in the probate court here
Monday, and the case was taken under
advisement. The decedent, G.-J. Trul

ing his entire estate, consisting of
real and personal property of the val
ue of about $7000 to his second wife,

to give them minor bequests of one
dollar each. The effort to break the
will is being made by the five sons:
D. N., D. L., J. B., I. V., and E: L.
Trullinger, who represent that at, the
time the father made the will he was
in an enfeebled mental condition and
was not capable of making disposition
of his estate.

An unfortunate couple, whose name
will not be mentioned in this item,
started on a journey one day last week
from the lively town of Aurora to the
very quiet town of Mullno. Now I
suppose all of the readers know, or
ha hsarH nf "Thn Deacon and the
one-horse Shay" Well the rig they
i had was something of the sort, only
one part of it broke instead of delap
, idating all at once. This very inter
esting scene happened a few miles
from Aurora, when the couple pro
posed to go into a farm house and se
cure rope, wrenches and block and
tackle, to get their shay on stationary
wheels. After securing the rigging,
the n:t question was how they should
get tlfeir shay in running order so as
to go on to Mulino. 7. After a few
moments of deep thought they pro
posed to get a long pole, something in
the shape of a sled runner and stick
it in behind the rig so that the broken
axle would be in parallel with -the oth
ers, so they could proceed on their
venturous journey, using their shay
as a combined shay and- sled. After
getting their rig fixed, the next thing
that entered their minds was "would
they go on to Mulino looking as they
did, and in that time of day, or would
they wait till they were hid in" the
dusk from the howling creatures which
they supposed would be rubbering out
of the windows as they passed by. At
last they decided to wait till after dark,
arriving in the little town of Mulino
in high spirits and rejoicing over their
"buggy ride." Correspondent.

IPres. J. C, Zinser to the cmur. me
i first speaker on the program was J.
F. Mitts of Carus school, who present
ed the subject of Civil Government,
i He finds difficulty in securing interest
in this subject, and improved upon
our present text book by arranging a
series of review . questions touching
on the more essential topics of the
text, and in this way succeeds in fix
ing the essential points -for examina
tion. He emphasized especially the
importance of including the habit of
obedience from early childhood. In
the discussion which followed. Miss
Ruegg, of Milwaukie ably responded.
We then listened to an able discus
sion by Dr. Robert C. Yenney, Secre
tapy of the State Board of eHalth, on
the . subject of School Hygiene the
causes and symptoms of contagious
diseases, and the necessity of prompt
and rigid quarantine. Eighty per cent
of our children die of contagious dis
eases, hence it Is the duty of teachers
to instruct children regarding the
causes of diseases, and to endeavor to
enlist the hearty co-operation of par
ents and school officers in Checking
the spread of such disaster. AU school
rooms should be fumigated at least
once a month by competent persons.
We then adjourned for dinner and
were treated to a most sumptuous
spread of the hospitable ladies of
Canemah.
The afternoon session was opened
by a half-hour program by members
of Canemah school, under the direc
tion of Principal W. A. Schmidt. This

Marshall, all of which was greatly
enjoyed . by the audienee. . .
Principal W. W. Dixon, of West
Oregon City, then presented the sub
ject of spelling. - This subject should
be taught principally through compo
sition.. Have children first understand
the word, then have them spell it and
use it. - The spelling-book is a neces
sary, adjunct. Fifty, words a week is
plenty. Use both oral and written
spelling. "-
Principal T. J. Gary, of Willamette,
then spoke on "How to Keep up Inter
est," which was very lively and inter
esting. The discussion which followed
was generally participated in by the
audience.

SOMETHING IN BEING GOOD.
The Prodigal Son Loses Share in His
Grandfather's Estate.
Circuit Judge McBride on Monday,
made an order directing the payment
by John W. Meldrum, trustee, of the
sum of $1378.51 to James Edward Mc-
Namara.
In 1892 James McNamara died leav
ing an estate consisting of about $3500
which he devised should be equally
divided between his two grandsons,
James Edward and John T. McNamara,
each to receive his share upon reach
ing the age of 25 years. This distrib
ution was conditioned on each grand
son being a sober and industrious citi
zen at that age. In even .either or
both of the boys failed to comply with
this condition of the bequest, then
the will provided that such part of
the estate as was effected thereby
should go to decedent's sister, residing
in England.
James Edward reached the required
age, and, being a sober and industrious
citizen received his share of the es
tate amounting to $1750. But John T.
McNamara, the other lad, became the
prodigal son, his idle and dissolute
life landing him in the Oregon state
penitentiary where he was serving a
sentence when he reached the age of
25 years. .
Mr. Meldrum, as trustee, did not
know of what disposition he should
make of the remainder of the trust
fund, which, less expenses of admin
istration, amounted to $1378.51, the
sister of the deceased having died. He
brought the case into court in an 'ac
tion against James Edward McNamara
et al, and after hearing the testimony
in the case, Judge McBride decreed
that the money be paid over to the
son, James Edward, who had lived
up to the terms of the will by which
he had received his share of the es
tate several years ago. By the decree
of the court the one grandson gets the
entire estate.

STOP, WOMAN!
AND CONSIDER
THE ALL
IMPORTANT FACT
That in addressing-
Mrs. Pink-
ham yon are con
fiding' your private
ills to a woman-
a woman whose experi
ence with women's dis
eases covers a great
many years.
Mrs. Pinkham is the
daughter - in - law of
Lydia E. Pinkham,
and for many years
under ner direction,
and since her de
cease, she has been
advising sick wo
men free of charge.
Many women
suffer in silence and drift along from
bad to worse, knowing full well that
they ought to have immediate assist
ance, but a natural modesty impels
them to shrink from exposing them
selves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family
physician. It is unnecessary. Without
money or price you can consult a wo
man whose knowledge from actual ex
perience is great.
Mrs. Plnkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any folm of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
nrivate illness to a woman : thus has
. been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has,
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good-will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
1 generous offer of assistance.
If vou are ill, don't hesitate to sret a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham. Lynn. Mass., for special advice. .
When a medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many women,
you cannot well say, without trying it,
" I do not believe it will help me. "
SITE FOR NEW MILL.
Plans of Local Company to Build at
Willamette Have Been Abandoned.
The Oregon City Planing Mill Co.
has acquired the Broughton property,
consisting of six acres near Green
Point, and will commence the con
struction of a new plant there at once
says the Telegram. The property was
formerly the site of the Broughton saw
mill, which was abandoned many
years ago. The Bank of Oregon City
obtained possession and sold the land
a few months ago to the Crown Col
umbia Pulp and Paper Co. It was the
original intention of this concern to
hold the property as a possible site for
a new mill, but a flattering offer wa
made by the Planing Mill Company
which brought about its acquisition.
Some months ago the Oregon City
Planing Mill Company was reorganiz
ed, and its capital stock increased. Ne
gotiations were entered into with the
Willamette Falls Company, and it was
planned to move the mill to Willam
ette, where inducements were offered
in the shape of light, electric power
and a free site. The company planned
to build a new planing mill, a sawmill
and a dry kiln at Willamette, and was
about to close a deal when its officers
1 were approached with a proposition
! that involved the abandonment of the
Willamette scheme. After a .few'
weeks' consideration, they decided to
accept the Broughton site, keeping the
mills in Oregon City.
The deal will not necessitate th
construction of a sawmill as arrange
ments have been made to handle the
product of local mills. The planinr
mills will utilize from 40,000 to 50,000
feet of lumber daily, and will build t
dry kiln with a capacity of 10,00'J
feet. , ; : . ; .
The main building will be 40x20(
feet, and the plant will involye the ex
penditure of $20,000. Between SO a.nC
40 men will be employed, Workmer
are already laying out the ground, anf'
the lumber and machinery have beei.
ordered.
The main reason for the abandon
ment of the Willamette propositior
was the advantage of railroad facili
ties in Oregon City. Spurs will con
nect the mill with both the Southerr
Pacific and the Oregon Water Powe;
& Railroad Company.
Steam power will be used, and a"
engine of 150 horse power has beer,
purchased. A blower system will
installed and the mill will save the
cost of fuel, burning its own refusp
It is probable that the present mill wili
be used for storage purposes.
