The parties are Known. David Keen, who will be remeni bered by bur citizens as the poor cripple who earned a livelihood hereabouts last spring sawing wood, was robbed ot $40 at his home in Forest Grove last Saturday night. He put his money, $40.56, into the toe of one of his shoes and placed it on his back porch for safe keep' ing. To bis surprise, when he went for the money, he found only 56 cents, and a note which read: "I will divide, nice moonshine, good bye." The thief also took, a GAR coat " Christmas Eve the express office at Philomath was broken into By parties in search of treasure. - Miss Florence Akin is agent there and, at her request, the company had relieved her for a brief vacation during the holidays and a person was installed in her place durinst her absence. While She was away the thief, or thelves, broke in through a window in the office and succeeded in burstlfig the safe open. everything about tbe office was ransaoked, and for all of this trou ble and risk they were rewarded with three cents three insienifi- cant cents. While 'nothing serious resulted from this attempted rob bery, it demonstrates that surpris ing things occur even in quiet places and it may be as well for the citizens of this city to keep their back doors locked. The Macoy Comedy Co. closed a three-night engagement at ' the Opera House, Saturday evening. Considering the prices charged, the company gives a very good enter tainment. The first night's bill, "An American in Cuba," is an un-r fortunate selection. While : the play itself has considerable merit, it exposes all; the weak points in the company, and shows " every player to disadvantage. "The Black Flag" is better adapted to the cast, Mr. Seeley being at; his best in this production, while Miss Sutton and Mr. Bassett appear to good advantage. N"The Circus Girl," which is really our old friend,' "Arabian flights," gives the com! pany its best opportunity,' and if a repertory of plays-of this caliber were offered, ' the management would meet with greater success both with productions and at the box office.

Manager Strong oMha Corval lia Sawmill Co., tells a. rather amusing little incident that hap pened recently at Dilley, where his son, Harold, is managing the mui recently purchased bv the company. A dam had been built in 4he Tualatm river at that point, and the farmers of the vicinity believing that their property was being damaged by the overflow oaused by the dam, decided to buy that obstacle, which they did, paying $r,6oo for it. It was their intention to have it removed, bit Mr. Strong objected as its- presence was necessary to provide water for floating logs. B constant vig ilance, Harold prevented the purchasers from destroying the dam, but basiness in CorvaUis compelled him to be absent a few days and while ha was away, someone blew the dam np with dynamite. While some inrvm- venienee will be experienced at present the mill company will not suffer much as thev intend moving their plant to Dallas, shortly. The farmers claimed that the dam caused nronertv to be flooded as far up as Wapato laice, a distance oi some twenty miles. Judge John Burnett. An article published in this paper a couple of weeks ago, has' oeen copiea.quite generally, by the press of the state, and a desire has been expressed by numerous papers for the name of the hero of the story. The Independence West Side has this to say in ah incredu lous vein: "The Coevallis Gazette, last week, spun a niee little story about a young man who commenced life in that burg by handling a saw buck and was later a justice in the supreme court. The story is nicely told, the only thing -lacking being the gentleman's name." January 'Clearance Sale.
