Dr. Rowley takes considerable
interest in a fine 3roung horse that

he undertook to ride his pet he did
not have as good success. He
mounted the animal without a sad
die but its back proved so untenable
that "Doc' came off. He is a pret
ty nervy man and with the assist
ance of a bystander he again
mounted the horse, but came olF
unassisted. We will wager that
"Doc" rides that horse yet.

At the home of the bride's pa
rent?, Z.ir. and Mrs." A." H.
Campbell, a couple of miles east
of this city iu Linn, at fi :30 a.
m., Wednesday, John - Robert
Wilson, of Albany, and : Miss
Henrietta Campbell were mar
ried. Rev. W. P. White, of. the

Leverne ind Edward , Will, of

city, officiating. -
Mr." Paul has for years been

passed here, and in such a man
ner as to be a credit to himself

been such as to honor any man
who might call her "wife."

embrace this opportunity to tes
tify in their behalf and express
the hope that their years may be
many and full of happiness.
For the present, at least, the
young csiaple will make their
home in this city.
Don't Start Fires.
This is the fiery season of the
year and Governor Geer is send
ing out the customary warning.
Following are a couple of sec
tions from "An Act to Protect
Timber and Other Property From
Fire," which was passed at the
seventeenth regular session of the
legislative assembly of Oregon:
"Section I. If any person
shall maliciously with -intent -to
injure any other person, by him
self or-any other person, kindle a
fire on his own land or the land
of any other person, and by
means of such fire the buildings,
fences, crops ' or ether personal
property or wooded timber lauds
ofauvotlvjr person shall be de
stroyed or injured, he shall, on
conviction, be punished by a fine
of not less than twenty dollars
nor more than one thousand dol
lars, or by imprisonment in the
county iail not less than three
months nor more than twelve
months, according to the aggra
vation of the offense.
"Section 2. If any person
shall, witLout malice, kindle
any fire in any field, pasture, en
closure, forest, prarie or timber
land not his own, without the
consent of the owner, and the
same shall spread and do damage
to any buildings, fences, crops,
cordwood bark or other personal
property not his own, he shall,
cn conviction, be punished by a
fine net less than ten dollars nor
more than one hundred dollars
and ccsts, according, to the ag
gravation of the ofiense, and shall
stand committed until the fine
and costs are paid.
Crops and Creameries.
Joseph Yates, one of Linn
countv's best known and most
successful farmers, has this to
y of the condition of crops af
ter an inspection of several large
farms in the vicinity of Oakville:
"ball gram iooks nne; oats
and wheat near! v' all in shock:
berry very fine. Cheat will make
from to 60 bushels to the
acre. Two binders running c
Calvin Yates' larm, are cutting
cheat which he expects to have
threshed aud use for cow feed. It
makes splendid, rich feed for
cows, and as a iniik-producer.
is hard to beat.
"At the Shedd skimming sta
tion I saw five teams unloading
milk, and met two more on the
road coming in. The" milk and
creamery business is proving : a
wonderful incentive to cheer up
the farmer and fill " his ; pocket
book with flie filthy lucre.
I examined three ' different
fields of spring wheat,'- and saw
.no signs of insects or bags on the
wheat, t Garden and vegetables
of all kinds very plentiful, and
peaches about half crop. Tno
outlook is certainly '- very eccour
aging to farmers." - .
The Wght, Sentiment
From various sections of the
kcountry silly sentimentalists are
now and then heard lrom who
sympathize with Harry: Tracy,
the murderer and escaped outlaw.
In an incredibly short time a
play was staged in ; Seattle for
the purpost of catering to the
abnormal appetite qf the public
for the sensational ot the lowest
order, aud the plot hinged on
the history of Tracy and Merrill.
It was played in Seattle and an
attempt to produce the dramati
zation of "rot" 'in Everett
Wash., met with strong opposi
tion. A recent dispatch reads:
Everett is up in - arms against
the coming of t&e Tracy-Merrill
Theatrical Company, billed to
appear here Friday nigh t. It is
hinted that if the company ig
nores public sentiment and
brings its so-called attraction to
an Everett, playhouse it will be
handled without gloves. Mayor
Terrell expresses himself forcibly
against the appearance, of the
murderer impersonators, saying
that if it is in his power to stop
their coming he will do so.
Last night the Improved Order
of Red Men agreed to use its
power against the company, the
local lodge of Odd - Fellows also
taking action. . The strongest
movement is in the police de
partment, which is circulating
a generously signed petition
against a reproduction of 'a se
ries of murders. Judge Denny;
of the Superior Court, says the
coming of the Tracy-Merrill play
with its dastardly reproduction
is a crying shame and should not
be tolerated. The clergv here is
indignantr
