f Charles C. Spauldng, M. E. and wife,
engineer of the Ogle Mountain Mine,
teft here for California to visit Mrs.
Spavulding's relatives; he will return
in the early spring and take up the
active work of the Ogle Mountain
Mine, installation of the cyanide
plants, and the further development
of the property. Mr. Spaulding is
leaving a good professional practice
as a consulting mining engineer, in
order that he may devote, his entire
time and energies to the interests of
the mine. He is more confident than
ever of the ultimate big success of
the property.
Peopie in Bolton are complaining
very strongly of the ruthless destruc
tion of trees and shrubs. Mr. M. A.
Magone, one of the biggest property
owners out there says that at- least
seven surveys ha,ve gone through his
lands within the last six months, the
surveying crews chopping down every
thing they came across. Bolton folks
would like the railroad people to set
tle definitely pn some route and be
gin to build. ,
"Pilot? ' Magone, as he is familiarly
known, is puzzling as to how Santa
Claus got his dates mixed. Last night
he entered his bachelor home to find
a brand new rocking chair. All Bpl;
ton is puzzled to know who could have
the courage to break into the cottage.
Suspicion attaches to Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Rounds.
The contractors on the Carnegie
Library building announce that it will
be at least three weeks before they
can turn over the building. The plas
tering is finished, and the heating
plant installed, but the interior finish
ing will depend on the prompt deliv
ery of the mill work. All things being
equal, they expect to get out on time.

SALEM, Or., Dee. 21. Complying
with a motion made by District Attor
ney John H. McNary, Judge P. R.
Kelly, of the circuit court here, made
an order dismissing the four crim
inal cases instituted by the state
against J. Thorburn Ross, John E.
Aitchison and T. T. Burkhart, as to
all the defendants save Ross.
In all cases the indictments charged
the defendants with misappropriating
school funds belonging to the state
while .the defendants were officers of
the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
Danv.' of Portland: One of the cases
was prosecuted against Ross.
Both the Circuit and Supreme
Courts rendered decisions adverse to
him, and his appeal is now pending
before the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. Pending the decision in
this case, the proceedings were stay
ed in the other cases against him.
Some time ago the cases against
George H. Hill, who was also a de
fendant, were dismissed and the ac
tion of the court today, in dismissing
the cases against Aitchison- and Burk-.
iart, leaves the indictments standing
against Ross alone.
District Attorney McNary, inmak
ing the motion said that it was made
at the request of District Attorney
Cameron, of Multnomah County. He
said Cameron had conferred with
.Tiidfi M. Li. Pines, who assisted in
the prosecution, and he advised the
HiBTnissa.1. Mr. McNary aeciarea,. say
ing that Attorney General urawiora
Ll 1 also advised the dismisai as 10
the case against Aitcnison. au ui me
recommendations, he further declar
er! were based on the ground that
there was not sufficient evidence
against the defendants to warrant
their conviction, and Mcwary joinea
with them in recommending a dismis
sal of the cases.
The Farmers' Society ot Equity has
a "local" in Clackamas County, and
ultimately it is hoped to organize the
state. The organization meeting held
here Saturday was held in the Com
mercial Club rooms at which were
present the most representative gath
ering of farmers that ever got togeth
er in Oregon City.
A. W. Meredith was appointed tem
porary chairman, and F. G. Cuchanan
temporary- secretary. The permanent ,
officers and directors of the society ;
are S. Li. Casto, of Cams, chairman;
F. J. Buchanan, Mount Pleasant, sec
retary-treasurer; F. H. Bowerman, of
Sunnyside, J. C. Royer, Damascus and
W. G. Grisenwaithe, Beaver Creek, di
rectors.
The object of the society is to
bring the producer and the consumer
together, eliminating the profits of
the middle man. The first regular
meeting of the union will be held at
Mount Pleasant next January. About
fifty persons attended the meeting.

NEW YORK TO HAVE

The Clackamas Southern Railway
Company has just won a victory m
the courts which it is thought will put
an end to persons trying to prevent
by injunction the line entering the
city. Roy P. Clark sued the company,
asking for an injunction against it
placing its tracks on land which he
Owned. The land is blpck 117 in the
north end. Mr. Clark purchased a tax
title on the property from the LeHigh
heirs who had granted the railroad
company the right to lay its tracks
on the property. Clark, it is said, ob
jected to the laying of the track after
it had been laid, and Circuit Judge
Eakin after issuing an injunction
azainst the railroad company modified
the order, explaining that inasmuch
as the crack had been laid, the plain
tiffs only cause of action was a suit
for damages.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21. Work of set
ting up the big popular Christmas
tree in Madison Square Garden, which
will be an outdoor novelty during the
holiday season here, was begun today.
The tree is so big that it took a lour
horse steel girder truck to haul it to
the garden. It is 60 feet high, 18 in
ches in diameter, and it lowest
branches have a sweep of 20 feet.
A great choral festival about this
tree, with many nationalities partici
pating, is planned for Christmas Eve,
The chimes of the churches all over
the city and Long Island are to be
ringing for 20 minutes at 5 o clock
that evening as a signal for the light
ing of the tree with 1200 varicolored
electric bulbs. It is hoped by those
who have worked up this outdoor tree
idea that so many cities will even
tually adopt it that it. will become a
nation-wide custom.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 21. R,
E. Williams, KepuDiican National Com
mitteeman, saiu that as soon as Pres
ident Tatt returns from Panama he
will send in nominations for all the
vacancies in federal omces in Oregon,
VYiiiiam Snead ana M. i Davis, are
to be vanguard oi the host.
"Have you made recommendations
for ail of tne omces vacant or about
to become vacant'" was asked.
'No. tne recommendations are not
in," replied Williams, "but they are
practically decided on. The offices
to be filled include the postmaster at
Portland, collector of customs as As
toria, United States District Attor
ney, Land offices at The Dalles and
Burns." -
Williams would not say whether he
had any understanding with Senator
Bourne. He did not believe Senator
Chamberlain would make any objections.
"How can he, if he is a non-parti
san, as he professes to be," he asked.
'Pretty soon he will be up for election
again and let me tell you, if these
nominations are turned down there
will never be another Democratic
congressman or governor elected in
Oregpn. The responsibility is his. It
is not a good argument to say that
some of these offices could have been
filled six months ago.
"How about the officials whose
tfrms are about to expire? '
"That argiftnent would not hold
good with them." . '
Williams said that he and Mrs. Wil
liams would go to New York Monday
but that he would return in a few
days. He declined to give any inti
mation regarding his probable rec
ommendations. -

BODY OF AMBASSADOR
IS ON WAY HOME
LONDON, Dec. 21. The British
cruiser Natal, carrying the body of
the late Whitelaw Reid, American am
bassador to Great Britain, sailed from
Portsmouth at 3:20 o'clock this after
noon tor New York. As the cruiser
steamed out to sea all British and
American flags were lowered to half
mast, while tne guns of the other war-
snips in the harbor boomed a naval
salute.
The casket,, draped with the stars
and stripes, was removed from Dor
chester house at 10 o'clock and placed
on a caisson drawn by six horses.
Thousands of Englishmen and Ameri
cans, with bared heads, stood silent
as the cortege moved through . the-
streets of London t0 the Victoria sta
tion. A mititary escort was provided
by the British authorities. As the
procession passed St James park a
military salute was fired.
The body was taken aboard the
train at 10:45 o'clock, arriving at
Portsmouth at 12:45, Bluejackets
from the cruiser Natal escorted the
casket to an especially built cata-
l falque aboard the ship.'
Who does not know the value of
Sage and Sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft and glossy and in good con
dition? As a matter of fact, Sulphur
is a natural element of the hair, and
deficiency of it in the hair is held
by many scalp specialists to be con
nected with loss of color and vitality
of the hair. Unquestionably, there is
no better remedy for hair and scalp
troubles, . especially premature gray
ness, than Sage and Sulphur, if prop-j
erly prepared. t
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal preparation
of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage
and Sulphur are combined with other
valuable remedies for keeping the
hair and scalp in clean, healthy con
dition. -
If your hair is losing its color or
constantly coming out, or if you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get a fifty: cent bottle of Wy
etbs Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist, use it according to the sim
ple directions,, and see what a differ-
