Laney, John Roberts and William
Wilson for tearing down a fence in
front of a Sherwood residence. They
were tried before Justice Young

- H. DeLaney was then tried for as
saulting F. B. Weber. The case
was thrown out of court after the
state rested. Attorney Butt, of
Newburg, defended while Bagby &
Brown, of this citv. went down to
the assistance of the state.
The following dispatch from Sa
lem appeared in last Friday's Ore
gonian and will doubtless be of in
terest to the readers of this paper:
"The rope that has been used to
hang four meo, and lain unused in
the vaults of the Marion county
sheriffs office, Was today (Thurs
day, Jan. 6th) sent' to Sheriff Brad
ford, of Washington ciiunty, to be
used in hanging Gus Wachline at
Hillsboro. The straps for binding
the limbs accompunied the rope.
Sheriff Bradford sent a deputy to
Salem to procure the hanging equip
ment: After adding another to its
list of victims the rope will bo re
turned to Sheriff Wrightman."' The
deDUtv who is referred to in the
paragraph is C. E. Deichnmn
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Crane, of
(iilliam county, are in Hillsboro
accompanied by their little grand

Crime is well known here, having
lived ne'ir Cornelius many years
ago. He is in the farm and stock
business in Gilliam county ami
says he likes that ' climate better
than the valley.
The wheat market is demoralized
again and 74 cents yesterday was
Portland's highest quotation for
valley wheat. Charters have fallen
but it seems to have had no per
ceptible effect on raising the
market. Chicago's market is on
the decline and the sinking ten
dency seems general. Let us hope
twill bob up again. Liverpool
advices do not warrant us in hop
ing for this, however.

The republicans of the county
fire awakening their organizations
to elect delegates to a state conven
tion of clubs. The Simon-Corbett
republicans are not very numerous
but what there are of these are the
best political workers in the coun
ty and it will be hard to tell what
will turn up by election time. A
great many of the politician streak
want to harmonize and it may come
to pass that harmony 'it will be.
The Mitchellites, however, can af
ford to be harmonious as they are
in the majority.
The Populist committee meeting
which was held in this citv recom
mended a member of their party in
each of the twenty-one precincts in
the county, to the county court to
be appointed judge of election. The
suggestions were not followed in
most of the appointments made,
however. In a few of the precincts
those recommended were appointed
clerks of election. In North Hills
boro John Sewell and in South
Hillsboro O. C. Zook were the ones
recommended, neither of whom
was appointed.
The J. B Matthews Post, No. 6,

tastefully decorated witn the na
tional colors. There was a large
crowd present to whom refresh
ments were served. The relief corps
was presented with "a banner case
for which a vote of thanks was un
animously tendered. The literary
program was a great success. The
evening was closed with the sing'
ing of patriotic songs.
Edward Naylor, of Forest Grove,
last week drove fifteen Angora
soats to Portland. They are for
Seattle men who intend taking them
into the Klondike country when
the trail opens next spring. Four
teen of them were large wethers
and one a nannie. The latter will
be taken along for her milk and it
is intended to hitch the wethers to
sleds and about half of them- have
alrerdv been broken to work. They
are superior to other animals on ac
count of being able to pick their
living as they go along and they
are a great deal stronger than dogs
Their he.ivy fleecj protects them
from the rigors of the Alaskan cli
mate. Ed is repotted as having an
order for another lot to be used for
the same purpose and that he is
now training them on his' farm
near the Grove. He has something
like two hundred on his farm.

ing to order in the Columbia Club
rooms and upon motion a commit
tee was appointed to bring in resol
utions representing the sense of the
conference. On this committee
were two populists, W. R. King,
state senator from Baker county be
ing one of them, two democrats and
two silver republicans. 1 tie com
mittee advised union of the three
reform parties on plans similar to
those which were so successful in
Washii gton state, the last election

mittee met the next day'and prac
ticallv endorsed the conference of
the day before. Outsideof Portland
there seems to be a general desire,
that the people opposing gold stan
dardism shall put up a successful
fight and their opportunity is now
at hand. Of course, MayVr Pen
noyer does not want union of forces
but he will observe an earnest tight
bv the unionists and they hope to
duI through without the mayor's
