from Portland, and they visited
tho upper Tualatin. Kant and
Went Dairy, the lower Tualatin
and McKay Creek.
There were noma good catches
early in the morning, and late in
the evening, but during the mid
clay hour catches were small.
The catches as a rule were
fairly good sized, the big lellowa
apparently being more numer
ouh than in the past This is
due to the fact that many fry
have been deposited in atreams
during the past three years.
The water was at low stage
Sunday, and getting lower every
hour, with the result that the
migration waa mountainward.
Up at Denny, late in the eve
ning, the big ones took the lly
with gluttony, but the "bait"
fhhermen did not get very big
catches.
The milk drain, south of town,
furnished local sportsmen with
aomu good catches the last of
the week, but the locality has
Im'cii worked overtime, and fish
ing is not at a premium there
this week.
Game wardens report but little
attempt at law violation.

The celebrated case of the State
of Oregon versus W. H. Lyda
camo to an end for the present
Saturday, at noon, when after
nearly eighteen hours of deliber
ation Judge Bagley discharged
twelve men who had the case
under deliberation, and who were
unable to agree. It is reported
that there were seven for con
viction and five for acquittal.
The case attracted widespread
attention because of the promin
ence of the defendant who for
many years has been In the bpw-
mill and logging business. Mr.
Lyda owns a farm North of
Forest Grove, and his reputation
for reliability was one of his
chief assets,
The case was tried early in
1915, and the jury"then disagreed.
The case last week was one ot
the big lesal battles of present
court session, and Judge Camp
bell, of Oregon City, presided.
E. B. Tongue, attorney for the
State, made the only closing ar
gument Mr. Hare waiving. At
torney Hare handled the case in
an able manner, and those who
heard the case say that it was
one of the best defenses put up
in circuit court formrny months.
Whether or not tne case will
again be tried win oe a matter
of future history. The charge
was that Lyda was guilty of a
statutory ofTense against a
daughter, married, later, to a
Mr. Plass. The jury:
John Frank, R H Brooks. G W
Andrews, W C Johnson. D M
Gillenwater. Wm Morgenson. 1
H Maxwell. E A Eddy. N C

The defendant did not go on
the stand, and no character wit
nesses were sworn. It was for
this reason many witnesses on
both sides did not testify. Dis
trict Attorney Tongue says this
fact estopped him from putting
on a dozen witnesses.

hours each day?
That in each 24 hours the balance wheel vi
brates more than 400,000 times?
That a variation of 100.000 of a minute in each
