A delicate surgical operation was
performed on J. R. Bryson at the
Good Samaritan hospital in Pott
land last Saturday. The operation
consisted in the removal of a tumor
as large as a man's hand from the
lower intestines. The news late
yesterday afternoon was to the
effect that the patient was doing
nicely and, as the danger period
was almost passed, it was expected
that the operation would prove en
tirely successful.
Over across the Olalla, where the
new settlers have been buying land,

residence completed. These men
have worked bravely on through
storm and sunshine, and already
their efforts are beginning to tell.
Mr. Muszynski, the gentleman who
bought the Denlinger home place,

To the allegation that the dogs
got after him while up the river on
New Year's day Henry Lewis sets
up a vigorous and general denial,
claiming that he just happened to
pass along there just as the dogs
run a deer to the river. And we
believe Henry is telling the truth.

There will be a grand dance
given at the court house Monday
evening, February 23, 1897, Wash
ington's birthday, under the auspices
of the G. A. R. and W. R. C. of
this place, the proceeds to go to the
relief funds of these two worthy
orders. These orders have been
extending help to the families of
some of their members who have
been visited by sickness, and their
funds have become exhausted.
The object of the dance is a worthy
one, and we believe will be liberally
patronized by our people. Further
particulars will be given later on.
The G. A. R. and W. R. C. of
this place had a joint installation of

suffering with nasal catarrh, and
how many can be cured by using
Prescription No. 1.. Inquire about
it at the drug store. Far sale at
Krogstad's drug store.
A letter from J. H. Kern, written
from Portland, informs us that the
tug Tonquin is expected to go into
the Siletz next week after the last
load of salmon, at the Kernville
cannery, about 900 cases. The
season's pack has been all sold and
the business for the year has been
satisfactory, all things considered.
He is somewhat discouraged over
the fact that the summer was al
lowed to close without opening the
trail to Kernville from Toledo.
This was a mistake, but we have
full confidence that the trail will be
opened up early next summer.
Mrs. N. P. Stevens met with a
very serious misfortune last Wed
nesday night, a week ago. She
was standing before the fire on a
rug, and was bathing one of her
legs with some liniment for some
slight ailment, when all at once her I
limbs gave way under her and she '
fell to the floor, falling on one of j
her legs in some way as to fracture
it a short distance above the knee.
Drs. Parent and Carter were sum
moned and reduced the fracture.
The chances of recovery are not the
best owing to the patient's age and
general ill health.

othei commissions are prominent
among the number. The Willam
ette lobby is as yet enjoying a calm
but it is one of those peculiar
calms that preceds a certain storm.

Why the Lily Didn't Bloom.
Mr. George Stirapson, the ac
commodating driver of Wells,
Fargo & Co's express, has been
carelully nurturing a plant which
he supposed was a Chinese lily.
It was presented to him by Mr. W.
M. Toner, express messenger on
the Yaquina train, and looked like
a fine specimen. But in fact Mr.
Toner had peeled a big Oregon
onion and nestled it aitistilally
among some pebbles in a glass
bowl. The plant, under George's
lender care, acquired a splendid
growth, but it refused to show any
sign of blooming. A critical ex
amination revealed the true state of
facts, and now George is laying
awake nights to invent a plan for
getting even. Albany Herald.

of the eye, will be in Toledo on
