'- . .. r A Pending Case That Involves the ; Question Land Contest in Benton. A land contest that involves de termination of what constitutes actual residence on the property in case of . homesteading, is pend ing at Oregon City. The parties to the proceeding are Frank Spen cer of Pleasant Valley, and Peter Miller, formerly of y Polk county, but now employed at the Benton County saw mill. For three days last week, evidence in the case was taken before the register of the land office at Oregon City. The decis ion has not been announced. More than a year ago Peter Miller, then residing in Polk coun ty filed a homestead entry, on a quarter section on Greasy Creek, Benton county. Later, the land office officials cancelled the entry on the ground that Miller was not a naturalized citizen. After that, Frank Spencer went to Oregon City to file a timber claim on tim ber land, and the quarter section referred to was brought to his at tention by the land office officials. He filed on the quarter. Recently, Miller appeared at the land office, and produced proof as to his citizenship, and then Spen cer's timber claim was cancelled. As soon as notified of the " action, Spencer filed a contest, setting forth that Miller was not an act ual resident on the land, but that while residing elsewhere, he was seeking to homestead the property. In short, Spencer's contest claimed that, like many instances of the sort, Miller s claim of actual re sidence was bogus. Miller set up claim to the contrary, and last week testimony was taken on both sides of the case. The outcome of the case will probably be watched with interest by many who really reside in one place and homestead in another. A -number of witnesses on both sides of the case went down from Benton to give testimony. Among them were, County Judge Watters, John Hyde, Victor Spencer, Mr Flinn of the Benton County sawmill and others.

It Points a Warning Finger And Tells a Mournful Tale, Mary's river bridge at Corvaliis is now resplendent in a new sign that warns the traveler to beware. People who reside in the vicinity aver that it is the custom of many a driver to cross the bridge with his team in . a swinging trot with never a slackening of speed for possible damage to the bridge, or Other reason. . They say that some times the speeding of the steeds makes the steel rods of the bridge rattle like dry bones at an Irish wake. The county court is seeking to protect the bridge, and the state law affords ample authority for the purpose. A fine of $25 is provided for riding or driving raster than walk across such bridges, or for driving more than 20 head of cattle or horses at one time. The abov regulations, painted in big ' bold letters, by Charley Bovvan of Monroe, are conspicuously dis played on the bridge, and it is un derstood tjhey stand as a silent wit ness of the county court s determ- igation to stop the practice, of horse-speeding over the structure. The Times hopes that a future news item may not record that some citizen has been mulcted to the tune of $25 for violation of the terms of the new sign, but it has an unknown and unnamed fear to the contrary. v ' THEY BOUGHT BOOKS . .

Jiiyen ile Buyers How Prices Differ. . ' Monday was a lively day jj with book dealers. It was opening day in the public schools, and littlA lads and lasses by the score were y qut book-buying. Many a parent dur ing the day had a modest ; request from one or more youngsters ? for wherewithal to pay for books need ed in the school room. If any par ent winced under the demand, per haps it was from temporary uncon sciousness of the pleasure of hav ing the little ones at their side &nd in the satisfaction in being ablef to provide for their needs, ,ith money in hand, the children swatrra ed in the various book houses and went home happy, with a package of new books tinder arm. f : A dealer who talked of the frade, remarked that there is a yastv dif ference in the prices of books? for the public schools and other f ext books.

" ' Victims of the Linn County Bridge ' Accident Mrs Riley but Little . - Better. For the second time since the bridge accident, Ed Andrews visit ed for awhile among his fellow employes at Kline's . Monday. He was hauled to the store in the Oc cidental bus, and after arrival was able to move around in a limited way with the use of a crutch and cane. His limb which for a time was very painful is much better the broken bone having apparently passed well along in the process of healing. Mrs Andrews who was ini ured least of all of the three grown people in the accident, still suffers severe pain in the shoulder, but as in the case of her husband there is a gradual recovery, from her iniuries. It is not so well with Mrs Riley, who was the chief sufferer in the accident. Though the accident occurred three weeks ago last Sun day, she still lies helpless in her room at the Andrews home. She; has practically no use of her arms which lie motionless and useless by her side. Her head is also com pletely affected by the paralysis. She cannot move it, and if it be lifted from the pillow, it drops quickly back if the sustaining force removed. Her advance toward recovery is so slow that it is discouraging, though her physicians still hope that the injury may not be permanent. Mr Riley, who has been con stantly at his wife's bedside since the accident, left for Portland. Sun day, taking along his son to enter school. The latter it will be re membered: was a member of the party when the bridge went down, and was the only one that escaped without injury. Mr Riley is to re turn from Portland in a few days to continue at his wife's bedside, ."Sorbsis" Just received, fresh Saratoga chips. Try them at Hodes.
