GREAT LOG DRIVE
PASSES ALBANY
Tho big Spauldlng log drive passed
Albany Thursday night, says the
Dally Democrat. Driving logs down
the Willamette is an Interesting busi
ness, one that Is developing. Thero wa
approximately 12,000,000 feet In thl
drive, about tho biggest one yet.
"A pretty g"d lot of logs," esld a
former Michigan, man, "but I have
seen 800.000,000 feet In one drive, and
some day Oregon will have that kind
of a drive. " We have the timber In
the hills all right.
fnder Foreman Holt, Jefferson
man. there were thirty men running
the logs, eight horses and two wone
gons, one for cooking and sleeping
and tho other for the horsw.
Several of the men dropped off at
thl dry town, said to be too wet to
proceed, but wait till they get down
to Indopendcnc. That town wfll take
their last cent, at least of some of
them,
They make from one to three miles
a day, along here alniut three miles.
It takes about three months to make
tho trip up tho McKenzle down to
Oregon City, It destination. The
work la strenuous, both for men and
horses. I'p tho river away two of
tho horse wero drowned, and the men
are continually soaked, and receive
many a ducking.

SLASHING
v PERMITS
New Law Has Brought Con
fusion and Worry to
Many Farmers.
NOT AT CLERK'S OFFICE
Mr. Greenman Has No Authority To
Grant Them and Advlaes Writ
ing to Governor Cham,
berlaln.
Tho new law for the burning of
slashings' Is the cause of some burn
ing remarks around tho county clerk's
office these days, and the remarks are
not confined to ono side of tho coun
ter either.
Under tho old law the county clerk
Issued permit fur burning slashings
and It made a great deal of work and
bother In that office. The farmers
were used to that routine, and nob
withstanding all the advertising that
has been given of the change In the
law there Is a steady stream of appli
cant In Mr. Greenman'a office asking
for permits.
Tho law was changed by the last
I legiHiaiure ana mo county ciera no
longer has a thing to do with the
slashing permit. The fact has' been
noted over and over again In the
county and city papers, but It seems
that not knowing where to go now
for the permit, the bewildered borne
maker wanders back to the old place.
Under tho amended law, the land
owners of a district should apply to
tho etate forester for tho appointment
of some one In the district as fire war
den who will have the power to Issue
permits.
This direction Is rather vague and
of course no one think of writing for
such appointment until the necessity
for the peVfclt Is urgent.
County Clerk Greenman has cut
the Gordlan knot as far a he can by
advising applicants to write directly
to the governor.
WIFE DESERTED HIM."
Chester A. Hlnes baa brought suit
for dlvorco from Annie Hlnes whom
he espoused at Kansas City, Mo., on
Oct. 6, 1902. He alleges she "wilfully,
wrongfully and without cause" de
serted and abandoned him, on or
about May 10, 190C.

Dol-
The district boundary board, con
sisting of the County Superintendent
of Schools, J. C. Zlnser, and the coun
ty court, appointed 124 truant officers,
Friday, at least one for each district
except Oregon City, which as a dis
trict of the first-class the school board
will appoint one especially for itself.
The truant officers are paid at the
rate of two dollars a day for the time
employed.
The district clerks will act as tru

ture of an experiment
County Superintendent Zlnser has
word that he will receive the new text
book circular, August 12. The new
text books are on sale In Oregon City
now.
There will be no revision of the
course of study in the district schools
until next year. A few copies of the
synopsis of the course of study
adapted to the new text books have
already been received.
Hop Crop Promising.
The hot weather improved the con
dition of the hopvines around Aurora
as it drove the lice off, says the Bo
realls. The hot sua burned the arms
considerably. The output will be up
to the average. The new yards coming
Into bearing will offset the old yards
given up. Few contracts made, the
growers holding off for better than 10
cents, the offered price.
Carrie Calls Off Dance.
At York, Pa., recently, in the midst
of a dizzy waltz, Mrs. Carrie Nation
appeared upon the dancing floor at
Highland Park, a big street railway
company resort. Raising her umbrel
la above her bead, the little old wo
man In a sober bonnet brought the
music and waltzers to a stop.
"Dancing is only an excuse for hug
ging," Bhe warned all within hearing,
"It makes dissatisfied wives and
breeds scandal."
Mean Persons at Eugene.
There are some exceedingly mean
persons In this world, as has been
demonstrated at various times In the
past, and it would seem that Eugene
has a few of them, according to the
following, which appeared In a late
number of the Register: "During the
absence of Mr and Mrs. F. E. Taylor
from their home some one broke into
it and tore It up generally from top to
bottom. Every bit of clothing In the
house was ransacked, beds torn up
and things disarranged. The worst of
all, however, was the kitchen. They

smashed., cans of fruit all over the
floor, smeared butter all around and
wound up by committing other nuis
ances of a dlsplcable nature. Whether
It was the work of some burglars who
wero vexed at not finding any money
ior Jewelry, or an enemy bent on bit
ter revenge for some fancied wrong1
no one knows. Whoever It was, it
was a dastardly trick."
Saved By a Snake Battle,
John Garkow, a woodsman of Sug
arloaf township, near Bloomsburg, Pa.,
has a string of rattles and a piece of
the skin of a copperhead snake to
prove his story of how one deadly ser
pent rescued him from the fangs of
another. Garkow went to sleep In.
the woods and awoke to find a rattle
snake colled alongside. He dared not
move and lay quiet for some tlmo,
when he waa amazed to see a cop
perhead snake crawl out of the bushes.
The rattler and copperhead at once
engaged in a battle to the death, and
while they were wrapped around each
other Garkow killed both with one
iblow of his axe.
Fortune for Cat and Horse.
The late Miss Imogene McMlllen of
Dayton, Ohio, left a will naming her
pet horse and old bouse cat as the
beneficiaries. After 6er death there
was discovered $14,000 in gold that
she had secreted in the cellar of her
home. This money, as it now ap
pears, must revert solely to the horse
and cat. Miss McMlllen was a sister
of former Mayor McMlllen and was a
very eccentric spinster.
Female Better.
John W. Gates says that not all
women, but some of them, are very
poor speculators, very poor gamblers,
and recalled this incident: "K young
friend of mine has a pretty cousin.
He was going to the races the other
day and she called him up on the tel
ephone, and asked him to put $10 on
Forest King for her. , 'Very well, he
said. Til do it If you'll pay me back.'
'Of course 111 pay you back, you hor
rid thing.' 'All right,' said he. 'You
didn't last time. 'Oh, well,' said she.
'last time the horse didn't win, you
know. "
Swell Well . Drained, ,
An antiquary one day visited West
minister Abbey and found a stone
cutter at work in the little cloisters,
recuttlng the name of Wilson, the
great tenor of Shakespeare's day.
The antiquary began to tell the stone
cutter about Wilson, how be had been
Shakespeare's friend, and JBen Jon
son's, and Kit Marlow's, and hew all
these men had loved and . honored
him. The stone-cutter looking up from
his work, frowned and shook his head.
"I wish, sir," he said, "we'd knowed
he was such a swell afore we run
that drainpipe through him."
Case of Mutt
At a wedding feast recently the
bridegroom was called upon, as usual,
to respond to the given toast, in Bpite
of the fact that he had previously
pleaded to be excused. Blushing to
the roots of his hair, he rose to his
feet. He intended to imply that he
was unprepared for speech-making,
but he unfortunately ptaced bis hand
upon the bride's shoulder, and looked
down at her as he stammered out his
opening and concluding words: "This
er thing has been forced upon me."
