I'robinK the Matter
A remarkable cae is that which Is
unfolding in Ht. Helena. K. K.
tuick, Oregon pioneer of 1HC2, res
ident of Columbia Coanty for 27
years and at preeeot County Treas
urer, member of the City Council
and chairman of the Hoard of Pchool
director, awerta that be paid over
lo Hlakealy approximately IGOO
under tbe Qimieet of threata re
ceived in the form of letter sent
through tbe mail and suppoeed to
be from a desperate crook be bad
never seen.
iilakenly, known by every one in
Helen by "bis baby name of
"Toot," wa Urn two block from
the site of the court houee which
(Juick says Iilakaely proposed that
be, IJuict and McC arty rob, blow
up and burn. "Toots" ba lived in
Hi. Helena all hia life. His father
waa A. II lllakt-sly, who eettlid
there in l.Vr3, and who for 20 year
bas conducted a bolel.
Ho well known are both the
rincipals in the caae that natural
y tbe townspeople are taking side.
Concerning Mr. Quick only the
klndeat words are spoken, tirept
by Ihoeemoot intimately associated
with Hlakesly. Ulakesly is dm-
cribed by his friends and tboswh
accuse bim of the crime as a "good
fellow," and one ever willing to
help out another in trouble About
30" years old, rotund and jovial, be
does not bear the look of the black
mailer or criminal. Hut now that
be haa been definitely accused of
crime, there are many reports that
may be beard of past misdeeds
Mr. tjuick is described by b s
Mend a easily impoeed upon in
money matters, which U the only
explanation for his strange sub
mission to the blackmailing scheme
'rohably accurate knowledge of his
characteristics in this regard may
be obtained from the remark of one
friend, who said: "Why, if any
man wanted to borrow money in
tbia town, and dido't ack him to
indorse tbe note, Quick would be
osulted "
Mr- Quick is 57 years old. He
was born in Indiana and came to
Oregon with bis father in 1S62, set
lling in Linn County. Tbe family
soon afterwards moved to W ashing
too County, where his younger life
waa spent and be went to Columbia
County as a young man to teach
school. In the early days of tbe
county he was elected Hchool Hu
perintendent, and served six years
In 1888 he was elected County
Clerk and served in that capacity
for aix years. Between lb'.j acd
last year he served almost continu
ally in one city oflice or another.
Last year he was elected County
Treasurer. On December 1, l!H)a
hie books were ex per ted and found
without a Haw. tbe grand jury is
now checking them again, but has
not completed its work. Mr. Quick
says that he is certain they are in
Rood shape and that the oash will
alance.
Fred Ooetze, of above Blooming
waa iu town Monday, wearing the

Work has been eupended on tbe
Donelson conorete block building
on the corner of Third and Main
The blocks on the east side, in faot

when it ia decided where tbe trou
ble is something definite will be
known aa to future work. Home think
tbe foundation is the cause; others
eay not; while some aver the blocks
were too green; soma swear tbe
blocks are not the right mixture
and eo on. Experts, will probably
decide the question. The Tualatin
Pressed stone Co. gave Mr. Donel
son a bond before work commerced
and there the matter rests.
J. A.-Zimmerman, of Roseland
Farm, was up Tuesday, and says
that several youug ladies down in

and obarivaried Victor Nord, the
37 year old groom, and bia 80 year
old bride. The young ladies, he
states, found no one at the house
but later found the bride and
groom at tbe barn, where they were
entertaining their friends to a regu
lar old country luncheon with
large keg of "hop juice." And a!
went merry aa a wedding bell. It
is rumored that the young ladies
attired themselves like their broth
era before they made tbe visit, but
they couldn't stand for tbe beer
and refused to indulge.

Looh Out
for
Watch
Troubles
It's the wisest thing you1
can do to have your, watch,
examined at this time of
year. If it is in good order,
I'll le2ve it alone; but if it
needs repairing I'll do it
thoroughly, at a moderate
price. , , ...
Few watches are cleaned and oiled as they ought to
be once a year. People usually wait untfl some
thing breaks. ; The other way is cheapest in the end
and saves the watch.
