Dr. C. L. Large, Forest Grove's
irrepressible practitioner, was in
the city yesterday, meeting with
tho U, 8. Kxamining Board of Phy
sicians. The Dr. is the sumo invet
erate joker ns of yore, but there is
ono little Incident ho always takes
pleasure in denying. Homo ten
years ago, or such a matter, "when
we were boys,'1, tho doctor wns in
the habit of winning on the length
of a certain polo which laid in the
street of Forest Grove, located near
the Congregational church, I he
doctor had carefully mens 11 red its
length and know it to tho fraction
of an inch and when some fellow
would como along nnd get "sporty"
on Ins judgment, as to Us measure
ment, Large would call hiin down
and rako in the money. One night
a Hillsboro bov, who was attend
ing school at tho University, sawed
off a foot from tho polo, mudded
over tho end, and awaited the doc
tor's usual weekly banter to bet on
tho letiRth of that particular fir
polo. Ten dollars was the wager
and Largo bet on his old figures,
"I'll take the money" said Large,
"for I have measured that pole a
dozen times and won bushels of
money on its register." "No, you
won't," said tho Hillsboro lad, "for
I sawed a foot off the end of that
timber the other night, and your
figuros are toj much by just twelve
inches.".

Reports coming from nearly all
sections of the county indicate that
winter wheat has suffered from the
recent cold snap. Where the snow
was more plentiful the harm is not
so manliest. Close observers say
that the roots are not so much in
jured, however, as the tops would
lead one to believe.
A jury in Justice Humphrey's
court Saturday acquitted Geo. II.
Holsheimer, of Beaverton, charged
with having stolen an old sledge
from one Ernest Fech, There was
no evidence to connect Holsheimer
with the theft and the prosecuting
witness could in no way identify
the exhibit as his. Holsheimer is
an industrious fellow, is a Knight
of Pythias and a Woodman of Ce
dar Mill lodge, and bears an excel
lent reputation. He naturally feels
the Btigniit thrown upon him by
the arrest. The prosecuting wit
ness has been out of the insane asy
lum but a few months.
