The number at the preeent is a
trill- under the usual run of in

BIRTHDAY PARTY
A pleasing Bocial event at Buxton
Thursday evening, Nov. 8, was the
dancing party given at the Grange
Hall by Mrs. C. L Brown and Mrs
Chas. Lazott in honor of the lGth
birthdays of their daughters, Mias
Nellie and Miss Mildred. The two
young ladies were prettily powned
for the occasion, wearing turquoise
blue Crepe tie Chine, trimmod with
cream lace, lhav were the recini
ents of many dainty and useful
gilts. ADont 10 menus were
present and the Misses Scena and
Leta ltnssell attended f.om North
Yamhill. The hall was beautifully
decorated with evergreens while in
the dining room above Autumnal
tints predominated. After three
hours of enjoyable dancing the
guests formed in a grand march in
the hall and led hy the guests of
honor ascended to the dining room
where delicious refreshments were
served, Miss Nellie presiding at one
table and Miss Mildred at the
other, The birthday cakes bearing
their burning candles were one of
the beautiful features of the table
decorations.
There is not a prisoner in the
county jail.
J. P. Reeher and his associates,
arrested for cutting out the toll
gate on the Wilson River road,
have been discharged by the Tilla
mook circuit court, the case having
been dismissed. This was the case
that attracted so much attention a
few months ago.
Several local parties who have
the money are talking over the
proposition of putting in a Goe
hotel in thia city. Tbey say they
do not care to make any high rate
of interest on their money and
would not care to conduct it them
selves, preferring to lease it to a
landlord who knows hie business.
They talk aa though they would
like to put up a brick, with all
modern improvements, elevator
and all, aod they tbink they can
make the deal go with an expense
of from twelve to fifteen thousand
doll ara, outside of a water supply
This of course, would cost a thou
sand dollars more. As vet the
project is in the air, but those
having it under consideration are
amply able to finance such an
affair.
One of the amendments to the
city charter, wherein proclamation
by the Mayor calls for a vote at
the coming election, touches upon
a change of wording. On the fran
chine proposition the trouble to be
cured is the tact that it is doubtful
under the old wording if the council
could grant a franchise to a steam
railway. The old gection reads
street railway instead of railway.

word 'Street, thus leaving the
city a right to grant franchise to
any "railway," which, of course,
would cover any kind of a railroad
A. P. Venen, a brother of Mrs.
W. R. Hoyt, of this ulace. and who
one of Forest Grove's piano
tuners, found a piece of rock on the
Gales Creek road, and a stranger
seeing him pick it up, asked to
examine it. After examination he
offered Venen five dollars for it.
The offer was accepted, and Venen
then saw the stranger mark the
fence at the location of the find.
Venen does not know whether he
has sold a gold prospect or whether
a fool and bis five p'unks are part
ed.
H. L Tabke, who has been act
ing Southern Pacific agent here for
several months, left Monday for
H bileson, where he will relieve the
old agmt at that nlace. He is
succeeded here by Agent Nelson,
who came here from Medford
Operator Naugle is still here,
although he has had transports
tion to Southern Oregon for several
months. Agent Nelson s wife has
been visiting at Cornelius this
week, and they expect to soon take

That a new freight house is need
ed by the Sonthern Pacific is evi
denced by the fact that a great
deal of the freight already has to
lay out doors. The business has
increased wonderfully from this
place alone, to say nothing of the
shipments that go through here to
Centerville, Koy, Banks and
Buxton. The company expects to
build a new depot in the Spring
but it looks as though one could
be used this Fall.
Jackson Bottom, South of town
is again converted into a huge lake

the people living South of the
river as otherwise they would have
to go to the Minter bridge, below
Newton.
