By Fred Lockley. Molalla, Or., June 13. Few bectlons Of Oregon are n.".wing greater activity or more marked progress thau Molalla. Pioneer Oregon ianH know Molalla best by its old name, "Four Cornet o." Uncle Billy Vavghii, who i-Htiel Irr the Molalla valley in 183, waited 70 years for the railroad to come to Mo lalla. At last it came. In September, J913, Molalla ear the long noped for realization of nr dream of ad-iqiiaii transportation when the PodanJ. Ku gene & Eastern railway ran its first train from Canby on the main line of the Southern Pacific to Moia,;a. The road is to be extended to SllvCiion tand ventually electrified. Hew Ba.1 Xlne Cornea. In, February, 1915, Molalla secured additional transportation farilltios through the completion of the Wlll.im- ette Valley Southern railway. Its northern terminus in Oregon City ami it traverses a fertile and beautiful auc tion of, the Willamette valley, connect ing with the branch line of the South ern Pacific at Mount Angel. Molalla was Incorporated a month aftes the "iron horse" had replaced "Old Buck," the buckskin stage horse that was almost an well known by itvgit;io an xiiumii nrui y, Lilt, iilel. UJ. the tribe of Molalla Indians. At the celebration held in Molalla In Septem ber. 1913, when the first train pulled in from Portland. "OJd Buck'.' and In dian Henry were very much in evi- dence, Indian Henry, -the last Of his race, wore his suit of buckskin and the tH-autlfully woven spruce' root hat surmounted with flicker feathers that naa Dcen' ittt to mm by his grand father. Three days later Indian Henry had taken the long trnil to the Happy Hunting Grounds of his people. Population Has Trebled. When Molalla was Incorporated it had within its corporate limits 240 resfdents. Today It has over 600. The first city election was held Sep tember 22. 1913. WW. Everhart being elected mayor. Since Molalla was in corporated, a city water plant has been Installed at a cost of $10,00.1, and two iiilles of mains have been laid. A 25, 000 k;i11oii tank with good pressure furnishes excellent protection against fire. Two and a half miles of side walk ' have beei. put down and over $2000 has been spent in grading and graveling the streets. A new school house costing $14,000 has been built nd several new store buildings, aa well as a acore or more of substantial .nd well built residences. v Logical Trading Center. , Molalla Is the logical trading center - for the Molalla valley or Molalla prai- i M ..

L , a .1 jt. it a n ivi itn iijr tl 1 1 1 U , Wllln consists of over 6000 acres of level land once largely devoted to wheat raising, but now devoted to diversified farming. I,lbera!v Monitor, Union Mills, Scotts Mills, Mafquam and Wllhoit are all well known places not far distant from Molalla. Wllhoit, eight miles to tho south Ward of Molalla, has been a favorite ummer resort of the pioneer Orego alan for many decades. The old hotel there, which has been owned and run by F. W. McLaren for the past 25 or 30 years, burned down not long ago and has been replaced by a commodi ous hotel built on the plan of the For estry building, of unhewn logs and having wide and ample porches. Small Parma Developing. The old time wheat farms of the Mo lalla valley are being broken up into smaller units and are being changed Into dairy ranches, clover fields and orchards. Clover, alfalfa, kale, vetch and corn are being extensively grown. The raising of hogs has become one of the profitable Industries of the valley. One of the largest ginseng farms in the west la located near Molalla and it makes big money for its owner. An other unique industry is Molalla'e tea sel farm, owned and operated by George H. Gregory, and is the only commercial teazel farm west of the Mississippi river. In fact, it is claimed that Mr. Gregory is the only commercial teazel grower in the Unit ed States outside of the state of New York. Teasels Bis; Asset. Me has 60 acres in teazels and hl3 product won a medal at the Panaraa- . . Teaxeis, it may be explained, are burrs which, when properly cut and dried, are used by woolen mills to comb up the blankets and other woolen products and make them soft and fluffy. He markets his teasels all over the world but his principal market Is in London. W. A. Shaver, one of the largest breeders of cattle In Clackamas county, lives In Molalla valley. He has a 500 acre farm and finishes and markets about 100 head of Durham and Here ford grade steers each year. He also raises Lincoln and Cotswold sheep anJ blooded horses. Boys Are Progressive. Wldeview Farm, owner by C. Daugh erty and .his sons, Fred O. and Otis R. Daugherty, is one of the show places of Molalla valley. This farm won two gold medals at the Panama Pacific "exposition, one on spring oats, the other on spring wheat. Both Fred and Otis are O. A. C. boys and they are firm believers in "book farming" They raise "pedigreed seed." Tne hlt-or-mlss, dark-of-the-mon methods of farming do not appeal to them. They analyze their soil, build it up and plant the crop best adapted to that particu lar type of soil. Their seed cleaning plant Is operated by water power and they are demonstrating that brains pay on the farm as well as In the counting house. There is a large amount of timber tributary to Molalla which will even tually be handled through Moialla. Mo lalla and the other towns along the line of the Willamette Valley Southern have a bright future and in time to come the Molalla valley and its sur rounding foothills will be thickly set tled and intensively cultivated.

Frequently I had told Marian that I proposed to tell her mother about her trouble and the confidence she had placed in Orpet and every time that I told her this, she replied In this manner: " 'If you tell my mother one word of what I have t"ld you in confi dence. I will dny your accusation and my parents will believe me.'" I'ndcr cross examination Josephine Bald Marian had made this remark after she had learned that Will and Miss Youker were to be married: "111 Fix Him," Is Threat. " 'Josephine, 1 wonder if there Is anv truth to the report which Dorothv Mason told about the engagement? If Will is engaged to marry Celestia Youker. I'll fix him." Asked by Josephine the meaning of the threat "I'll fix nim," Miss Davis F,aid Marlon replied: "Oh. nevermind, vou'll find out." When court adjourned Mrs. Davis rushed up toward the witness stand to meet her daughter and they met at At torney Dady's desk. "Josephine, Mr. Dady is sore be cause you are telling the truth," said Mrs. Davis. Attorney Dady protested to the court but the judge declared he did not believe the remark improper. Spite Undergoes Change. The prosecution, which had expected the Davis girl to be its star witness, Jumped on Josephine with both feet when she first took the stand this morning. She testified that the spiteful feel ings she entertained toward Orpe! after her last interview with the pros ecutlng attorneys three weeks ago, had undergone a change. "Before that time, she said, -I was so nervous, sorry ana partial mat l could not give fair testimony. I was partial to my chum, and gave unfair testimony against Will Orpet. "Then I talked with my mother, and she said I was too much under the influence of the prosecuting attorneys and was ready to say anything to harn Will. Beady to Tell Truth. "But now I am here to tell tlu truth." "You say," asked the prosecution 'that you were so nervous, partial and wrought up that you were unable to tell a true etory? ' "I was bo much under the Inzl'.iance of the prosecution that I could not do a fair thing, was the answer. "You heard the oath given you by the coroner's jury?" "Yes. I shook hands with Prosecu tor Dady and he told me he would not say a word about what I had said; but the next day my story appeared in all of the newspapers. Then I decided to keep my mouth shut, knowing that if I told anything I knew there would be a worse scandal. The witness testified that she and Marian Lambert got up a letter which Josephine wrote to Orpet a fortnight before Marian's death. "I congratulate you," the letter to Orpet read, "on your engagement to Miss Youker. It was announced yea terday in tne gins' locker room by a member of the prospective bride's family."

The Austrian army on the east front has been variously esti mated at from 700,000 to 1,000.000 men. The new Russian line now makes a deep U into the region toward Kovel. Every mile here Is a double gain. It drives the Austrian back and at the some time makes the positions of the Germans on the line toward Riga less tenable.

Reporting minor victories at several points in the fight ing to stop the advance of the powerful drive of the Russians, the Austrian official statement declares the losses correspond to the reckless use of mass formations by the Russians. "On the height east of Wisnlovczyk, Russian attacks were broken down by Austro-Hungarian artillery fire," said the statement, covering yesterday's fighting. "East of Koslov, Austrian scout de tachments captured a Russian advance post. Northwest of Tarnopol, violent fighting continues. Positions near Thin People Can Increase Weight Thin men and women who would like to Increase their weight with 10 or 15 pounds of healthy "stay there" fat should try eating a little Sargol with their meals for a while and note re sults. Here is a good test worth try ing. First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Sargol one tab let with every meal for two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales and the tape meas ure will tell their own story, and many thin men and women we believe can easily add from five to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direction. And best of ail. the new flesh stays put. Sargol does not of itself make fat, but mixing with your food, it aims to turn the fats, sugars and starches of what you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing nourishment for the tis sues and blood prepare it in an easily assimilated form which the blood can readily accept. Much of -this nourish ment now passes from your body as waste. But Sargol works to stop the waste and do it quickly and to make the fat producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now de velop pounds and pounds ff healthy flesh between your skin and bones.
