his neighbors taxes. He returned

Two years ago R. J. Warren, a
druggist at Pleasant Brook, N. Y.,
bought a small supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is a household
word." It is the same in hundreds
of communities. Where ever the
good qualities of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy become known the
people will have nothing else. For
sale by O. O. Krogstad, duggist.
Speaking 01" walking, Harr.y
Porter and N. F. Edwards, of
Nortons, are not bad walkers them
selves. They left their home yes
terday morning at 7 o'clock, and
walked to Toledo, arriving here at
11:40, covering the distance of 24
miles in four hours and forty
minutes. This is at the rate of
about five miles an hour, which is
pretty good, considering the way
the roads are.
B. F. Jones went to Alsea the
first of the week, where he will try
to secure water privileges and loca
tion for a salmon cannery on the
salmon cannery on the Waldport
side of the river. We understand
that some Astoria parties are con
nected with Mr. Jones in this
enterprise, and that if satisfactory
arrangements can be made that
Alsea Bay will have a second con
nery before another fishing season
opens.
Mr. F. J. McIIenry lectured to a
good sized audience at the court
house last Thursday night iu the
interest of the Woodmen's lodge.
His lecture was interesting and full
ot wisdom. In addition to the
lecture a short program had been
prepared, which was successfully
rendered. The main feature of the
ci cuing omsitie 01 tue lecture was
a pie eating contest by several of
the boys.
The prize was won by
Merrel Van Cleve. This contest
afforded considerable amusement,
but it was just like running in a
cold duck to allow the members of
an editor's family to compete in a
contest of that kind. In such con-
tests in the future editors or the
members of their families should be
barred
Call on Gowell for anything.
Dr. Carter was down from Elk
City last Tuesday.
Tally one for today.' The suu
shone for a good part of the day.

month's term of school in the Stan

We are informed that the Roches
ter quarry has secured a good con
tract to furnish stone in San Fran -
Cisco. This is good news, if true,

The county clerk has received
from the supreme court the man-!
date in the Grady road case.
The
county will be called upon to pay
the costs in this case, which are
taxed at $379.95. To this can be
added about $100 already paid by
tounty to its own witnesses and it
can be readily seen that lawsuits
are expensive luxuries that few
people can afford to indulge in.
A degree of Rebekah lodge was
instituted at Elk City last Thursday
night. Mrs. Anna Turnidge was
instituting officer, and was assisted
by a staff of grand officers form Do
Good Lodge No. 70, of Toledo.
Ten charter members formed the
nucleus of the new lodge, but after
the lodge was instituted the beauti
ful degree of Rebekah was conferred
upon fifteen applicants. After the
election of officers and conferring
the degrees a recess was taken to
the lower room of the building
where the assembled brothers and
sisters partook of a most bountiful
repast, spread by the estimable
sisters of Elk, in honor of the oc
casion. After doine full iustice to
the excellent supper, the brothers
and sisters again reassembled in the
lodge room, where the newly
elected officers were installed into
their respective chairs. The fol
lowing were the officers installed:
Mrs. Marie Miller, N. G.; Mrs.
Olive Van Orden, V. G.; Mrs.
Lillie Trapp, secretary; Mrs. Bla
lock, treasurer; Miss Maud Deyoe,
warden: Mrs Deyoe, chaplain;

Last Monday a complaint was
sworn out by Ira Wade charging
J. Long, a settler living about two
miles from the Wade ranch, with
killing a cow and a steer belonging
to Mr. Wade. A warrant was is
sued and placed in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Ross, who brought
Mr. Long before Justice Hall's
court. Mr. Long's son accompanied
him to town and he was also ' ar
rested after arriving here upon the
same charge. The preliminary
examination of the father occurred
first, being continued until two
o'clock p. m. yesterday. The state
was represented by District Attorney
Yates and his deputy F. D. Carson,
the former coming over from Cor
vallis Tuesday evening ?n response
to an urgent telegram. The defense
was represented by Judge Hufford,
of Corvallis, and W. H. Alexander,
01 tnis place. 1 ne testimony was
somewhat vague, but was deemed
sufficient by the justice to warrant
i him in binding the prisoner over to
1 await the action of the grand jury
at the July term of court. The
bond was set at $100 which was
promptly furnished and the defend-
I ant allowed to go free. The case
against the son was dismissed upon
I the motion of the district attorney.
Do you trade at Gowell's?
The steamer Farallon departed
for San Francisco last Tuesday,
and the Scotia arrived in after a
load of stone for the 'Frisco mar
ket. Considerable complaint is made
of sheepkilling dogs, among the
sheep owners around through the
country. It is one of the most
aggravating things on eartli for a
man to love a lot of sheep by the
ravages of worthless cur. Dogs

physicians, but received no relief.
She then used one and a half bottles
of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which
effected a complete cure. This is

! Ben Jones is quite a secret so-
ciety man. He belongs to nearly
enough to keep hirn busy every
night in the week, and his mind is
full of grips, signs and passwords, 1
but he took a degree last Sunday '.
mm was auiueiiimg new to Uim.
It seems as (hough his boys took
up a young steer that was nearly
dead a couple of weeks ago, and
shut it up in the barn, where they
have since been feeding it. As the
steer got strong the boys trained it j
to fight All this was unknown to:
Ben, and when his wife asked him
to go to the barn last Sunday for
some potatoes, he walked right into
the part where the steer was shut j
up, and closed the door without
even seeing his steership, which
was laying down in a dark corner.
The steer was astonished and at!
once proceeded to make himself
known and felt. The first round
ended with Ben on. his back on the
floor, and the steer in his own
corner not even touched. By that
time Ben had decided that it was
not an earthquake nor a cyclone he !
had got mixed up with, and so he
began to put up a defense. On the i
second round both sparred for an
opening, but the opening that Ben
so ardently desired was on the
other side of the steer. After a
little preliminary work they clinched
and at the call of time Ben retired
to the manger, from which place he
managed to escape through the hay
loft. The referee decided the con
test in favor of the steer, but Ben
claims it on a foul, claiming that
the steer struck him several times
below the belt, particularly when
he was trying to climb into the
high manger.

the mail on the river from Newport
to Pioneer, carrying it in a small
boat and making the round trip

his death only too surely recalls the
fact that these old pioneers are
passing away.
