Took out Papers.
Friday, Mrs. Hannah Nichols
applied for papers of citizenship.
She is the mother ot six children,
all native born. She is a native
of England and her ; husband had
made applicaticmTdr' citizenship,
but died before the papers were
granted him. Mrs. Nichols re
sides in Corvallis, but is think
ing of taking up a homestead
and this is what induced : her to
take out papers' of citizenship.
Having resided so many years in
this country she is not obliged to
wait five years for the necessary
document, as would be the case
if she were a recent arrival in
this land. She will be granted
full citizenship rights in two
years. Clerk Watters says this is
the first application, of the kind
made by a lady during his clerk
ship and it is thought to be the
first application of the -kind
made in Benton county. Mrs.
Nichol is getting well along in
years, and must be in the neigh
borhood of sixty.
