I a" When Stayton Cooperative Telephone company switched over from manual to dial system May 19, phone official ar ranged with Howard Morgan to receive the first official long distance call at Camp Sherman where the PUC commission er was staying. Mayor Marcel VanDriesche Of Stayton was lined up to make the. call shortly after 11 p.m. when dialing began effective. Came the zero hour and the telephone building was filled with telephone officials, councilman, busi nessmen, and civic leaders, along with the press equipped with cameras to record the epic event. Mayor VanDriesche, on signal, quickly dialed the operator and the call went winging over the Cascades. But the voice on the other end wasn't that of Morgan, but one of a sleepy caretaker. Sorry, he said, but Mr. Morgan is in bed and all the lights are out in his cabin, or words to the same effect. Disappointed spec tators wound up local festivities with a series of calls to equally sleepy wives around the city . . . Morgan later, ex tended apologies for the incident. Just goes to show the predicament a busy man can get in when his secretary isn't around to remind him.

Squirrel hunters Dick Brown and Marvin Tatom at Sher idan, armed with 21 rifles, had all types of luck, good and bad, while hunting the Ray Brown ranch west of WUlamina this week.

Diek-fired, killing the 200 pound anlmaL While this action was underway, Marvin also blasted away, but net at the bear. The accidental dis charge sent the bullet through his foot The bear was left while the wounded hunter was rushed to a Dallas hos pital Examination showed many bones in the foot shat tered.

'Skipper' is the 11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Padrick, and a semi-ardent fisherman, one that scorns fancy fishing tackle, worms, salmon eggs, and artificial flies. Angling off the high Santiam River bridge this week, he kept busy slosh ing a big unbaked hook up and down in the water. Then the line went taunt. He had hooked a 12-inch church through the tail. Skipper accomplished what few grownups have been able to do, land his fish from his high perch over the atreajn. , , Mrs. Lewis Bartlett, 3366 Neef Avenue, was only slightly disturbed when her 5-year-old daughter Mary announced she had Jet the neighbor's cat in the house and locked it In the clothes closet.

Before the neighbor eould be summoned to ac quire his new family, the cat and kitten had become cat with four kittens. Mother and child, cat and kittens, all doing fine at last report.

Linn Judge Nullifies Lyons Vote on One of Eight Points 1 tatttmaa Nwi Itrvle LYONS - Ruling of Linn County Judge E. G. Arnold Friday made the May 26 vote favoring incorpor ation of Lyons 114-91 illegal. The decision was based upon advertis ing of the election in Marion coun ty newspapers. Lyons is a Linn county city. Mrs. Arthur Ayres spokesman for a group protesting the elec tion, said it was just one of eight points presented to the county court to nullify the vote. She said among the other seven reasons the petitions were not legally drawn up, and polls were not open at 8 a.m. and there was no poll book to sign. Not enough time elapsed from printing of notice to hearing, and between printing of notice and the election. It was also charged people Out side the area voted. They allegedly lived in Stayton, Mill City, Tax Valley, and Portland. Also claimed was the charge" two persons voted whose names , were not on the registration book. ' and 81 people signed names in a,, manner different than they' regis tered. Also, charged was erasure of names from the poll book, but it was claimed the number of ballots " still tallied with the number of names not erased. Judge J Arnold did not rule upon any of the alleged causes of action against the vote other than print- ing of notices in papers of a coun-.. , ty other than Linn.
