Our first term of school closed last

gone to Linn county, Oregon, with
a pretenite of working for J. M.

Mr. J. M. Kitchen went to Linn
county yesterday to superintend '.he
building of a barn on his farm east of
Harriaburg; and J. P. Zumwalt is going
to Linn to soe about renting him a
place, as the land owners in this sco
tion ask too high rents.
The renters of Irving and vicinity
have formed a Renters Protective
Union, whereby they may protect them
selves againttt exorbitant rents, each
and every member pledging himself to
pay no man more than one third of the
crop. Ho one of the society is allowed
lo pay cosh rent.

Coles Creat Circus.
The Kansas City Journal thus pre
sents a fair illustration of the attrao
ttons of W. W. Cole's mammoth shows:
It says: "At night was estimated that
fullr 19.000 people were under the
canvas and even then the doors were
closed at 7:30 and thousands turned
war. Among the spectators in ihe
afternoon wero tho families of Ray
tnond and Koene, the actors.
It seems that tragedians and coin
edians as well as othor earthly mortals
!1 appreciate a show like Cole's, and
well they may as it is probably the
best in the world.
Pleasant Visit. Mr Marion Da
vis, who owns an interest Jn one of

district, gar this office a pWaant

a. a .a t a t m i
and the otuer nearly a mw days
before leaving his mines a two days
clean up was made and 130 ounces of
gold realized. He has a fortune as
sured. We congratulate Mr. Davis,

Hop Ezchaxok. Messrs. Koshland
Bros, of Portland, have recently built

wide, which will be used as a Hop
Exchange. It has been fitted up for
the special purpose of grading and. as
sorting hops. These gontlemen intend
this season to make a specialty of the
hop buying business. We are glad to
note that this important industry is
about to be represented in the Oregon
metropolis by such live and industrious
men.

ing, triumphant in death, an honored
citizen, a wise counsellor, a devoted
husband and loving failirr is at rest in
