The session of county court last week was not an important one as there wms little else for the court to attend to aside from the regular monthly grist of bills to be audited. Joseph Yates brought to this of fice a few days ago some samples of wheat heads grown this year on his Linn County farm and that of one of his neighbors. The wheat was fine and- is said to have been about an average. The adjourned term of circuit court held in this city last week laeted only one day, and duiing this time there were four connrma tion sales, one mortgage foreclosure, and one divorce ordered, made and granted. One petition for divorce was not granted. On July 4th, Albert and Delbert. Strong took about 4C friends for a cruise in tbeir father's gasolene launch.

Metzger expects the arrival of two sisters from St. Paul, Minn., within a few days. The ladies were expected to depart on their western trip yesterday. It is five years sii.ce Mr. Metzger saw them and it is his firm belief that one of the Ore gon wood post cards advertising the r air is what started them west. The warm days of the past week have driven many people to the coast. Speaking of the coast re minds us of a rumor that is abroad to the effect that there is disagree ment in Newport over Sunday clos ing. .accoraiDg 10 report it is pro posed to prom bit hshing on Sunday. This hardly seems reasonable and we presume it is a canard . Friday, Frank Seits came out front his home at Five Rivers, and brought with him Mrs. E. P. Gref foz and children, who had been over there for a week or two. Mr. Seits says that everything is moving along nicely in his section and every available man is busy making hay on his farm. Mr. Seits, being sub poenaed as a juror during the term of court which convened yesterday for Lincoln county, sent - another party back to Five Rivera with his team, while he took the train for Toledo. Sheriff Ross was out from Toledo af ler Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Green, who have been held on charge cf the murder of E. G. Sharratt at Lutjens, Lincoln county, last winter. Mrs. Green has been confined at Albany and her husband in this city ever sitice they had a hearing some mouths ago. Mr. Green, during the time he has been held here, has proved himself to be a model pris oner and has been given consider able license. The general idea pre vailing here is that the grand jury will find "not a true bill." During the fore part of last week, Allie McLaughlin, of Polk county, purchased the residence property of Abe Locke . The property lies in the north edge of the city and com prises five acres. The price paid was $3,600. Mr. McLaughlin is reputed to be a wide-awake farmer, and grows hops extensively . He knows black land from white and is to be congratulated on his choice of a home. . He comes to this city on account of the advantages offe-r-ed.in the way of schotls, and will be welcomed by our people. Mr. and Mrs. Locke will soon move in to what is known as the Isabella Hadlev property, but which now be longs to tnem. 'Gene Simpson, of this city, has had splendid success raising China f pheasants this year and now has in bis pens abcut 200 young birds. F. L. Miller and Grover Headrick called on Gene recently to overlook his flock and Mr. Headrick discov ered that some of the birds were "off color." This led to an investigation that resulted in a disagreement, Mr. Headrick declaring the "off color' birds to be young grouse, Mr. Miller that they were hybrids half China and half grouse while 'Gene main tains that they are all China and nothing else. These fanciers disa greed so strongly that the cigars are now hanging on the balance. The little fellows will soon be in . feather sufficient to settle the aues- tion and somebody will smoke.

OREGONIANS WIN OUT. O. A. C. Takes Several Firsts Multnomah 91, Seattle 39. On account of OAC athletes be ing: given prominence in the snnru at the Exposition last week it is a matter ol great interest to peo ple of this town. Our boys en tered the various contests under Multnomah's colors. The result of Friday's contests satisfactory from our point or view, in the 440-dash Williams was first with Greenhaw a rinse second. Both are OAC sprinters. dmunson was not in good condi tion and Williams took the 100 yard dash. The following re ports have been given out. Multnomah leads in the P. N. A. championship games, the first seven events of which took place on the Exposition stadium yes terday afternoon. Athletes from all parts of the Northwest com peted for points, and at the close of the day the representatives of the Multnomah Club had piled up 39 tallies agains 23 for Seattle and 1 for the Brockton Point Athletic Club. Interesting features of yester day's meet was the broad jump and the 56-pound weight. The latter event was not included in collegiate meets, and hence has not been seen on local fields for some time. McDonald of Seattle broke the Northwest record by tossing the weight out 27 feet 9 inches. The 440-yard dash was run in the remarkably quick time of 5 35 Williams and Greenhaw making a very close finish at the taps. The hundred was not run as fast as expected, due to the fact that Smithson, who makes the distance in 10 flat, had a sprained tenden, and could not do himself justice. His running mate Williams took first at 10 2-5. The weather was ideal, and the track in good condition. The remaining eight events will be pulled off this afternoon on " the stadium,commencing at 30' clock. Following is the summary of yesterday's events: 100-yard dash Williams. M.

Eisbt events were scheduler! yesterday while seven were finish ed the day before.
