When Mr. Jewett returned to Oregon he could not forget the old sweetheart and correspondence followed. Yester day morning Mrs. Leland arrived in Portland and the happy bridegroom ap peared at the County Courthouse and applied for a wedding license. He did not deny the pleasure of the mission, and his aged face beamed as though he were a bashful boy when he told the story of his romance. Those who saw the couple after the marriage had been solemnized said that If their smiles were a criterion, their 73 years will rest lightly on their shoulders during the years that are to come.

He seems astounded at the welcome that has been accorded him and Is not back ward in expressing his appreciation. "You are almost too hospitable to me." he declared with a smile when he responded to a welcoming speech at the opening of the Park County Fair. "I really don't deserve all this honor, but It makes me feel glad. Just the same. If I were not the ruler of Mon aco. I should like to be Mayor of Cody, or maybe a County Commissioner. That would be a higher honor in my eyes." Then he paid a glowing tribute to America and Its people. "I have visited many lands In my life." he said, "but I like America best of all. I can understand now why you people succeed. - It's because you know how to hustle, and do not know what failure means. That indomitable, fighting, American spirit is wonderful to me."

Former Sheriff of Marlon County, ex-Chief of Police and Once Postmaster of Portland Is Still Tonne in. Reality. John W. Mlnto was receiving con gratulations from his friends at the Commercial Club yesterday on his 65th birthday, which brings up a long chain of reminiscences among the older resi dents of the city, of a career spent chiefly In the service of tie publlo and packed full of striking events. John Mlnto, his father. Is living on the home Dlace In Marlon County. 91 years old, and as active in body and mind as a young man, and from all In dication it appears that his son, who has Just rounded the 65th mile-post, is following In the steps of the father. For through a tumultuous career, filled with adventure and narrow escapes, he has carried a youthful spirit off of which the years trickle as harmlessly as water off the proverbial duck's back. Oregon Native State. John W. Minto was born near Salem, on the old Mlnto homestead. In 1848; received his education In Willamette University between 1869 and 1865 and after that passed some five years in the saddle in the cattle country of South Central Oregon. Late in the 60s he returned to Salem, where he worked for several years in all kinds of labor. Most of the sand and gravel for the basement of the State Capitol and the Marlon County Courthouse he hauled and he worked on the foundation of the historic Marion Hotel. Then he was asked to Join the police force by the Mayor of Salem, and turning his team ing business over to another man he entered the line of activity with which he was chiefly identified for many years. He became Chief of Police and was reappointed to that office for three successive terms. Then he ran for the office of Sheriff of Marlon County. Falling of election he' went into the service of the Wells Fargo Company and for two years rode with the Wells-Fargo boxes through a territory equipped with all the holdup risks of the average frontier country of those days. Campaign Efforts Rewarded. Although he was frequently in rather serious difficulties, the company never suffered a holdup on his route, though an attempt was made once, nearly successful, to take the strongbox away from his companion, who was known as "Buckskin Joe." Mr. Mlnto was present at the driving of the golden spike on the Great Northern. In '82 Mr. Minto came back to Salem and again ran for the office of Sher iff, this time being elected and serv ing for three terms, after which he came to Portland to make his home. From 1894 to 1897 he was Chief of Police in this city and he was for a term Postmaster of Portland. He is now associated with the Twohy Bros, as their special agent. . During his career as Sheriff of Ma rlon County and as Chief of Police of Portland, in times which were most turbulent in comparison with the pres ent day, Mr. Minto came In for enough adventures to keep the average chron icler busy for an Indefinite length of time and was identified with the pur suit and capture of probably more desperate criminals than any other one man in the state in the same period of time. Xew March for the Elks. Francis Richter, a well-known pianist and composer In this city, ,1s preparing a grand military march entitled "Port land Elks No. 142," which he will dedi cate to the B. P.
