An attempt was made by some one, on Wednesday night, to enter the residence of George Cole. At about 1 o'clock in the morning Mr. Cole heard the noise at the window and being an accommodating gentleman he got up and turned on the light so that they might do a good job.

Some splendid bargains send for list. - Dealing in dirt, especially the productive sort that has made Benton county famous for its fruit and garden sass, is a hobby of James L. Lewis, the wide awake real estate hustler of this city. Mr. Lewis is a firm be liever that there is no better in vestment on earth than land in Benton county and he is always doing his utmost to induce prospective settlers to have the same confidence in its crop yield- i ing qualities. That he is usually successful goes without saving. and of late he has been especial ly so, for since the big football game at Portland . on November 21, he has sold $38,125 worth of property, and, with the excep tion of one small farm, this has all been Benton county property. He is now making plans for 1909 and expects to make the coming year a record breaker in realty deals. To help him out in this he has secured a large list of some of the v very best property in the country, consisting of large and small farms, fruit and garden tracts, poultry ranches, res idence lots and business sites. All his property is conveniently located and he will be pleased to show and talk its merits to any and all intending buyers. 12-22 The annual election of officers took place at the last meeting of Ellsworth Relief Corps, the fol lowing being chosen: President, Mrs Ada Farmer; Senior Vice President, Mrs. Emelin Tharp; Junior Vice .
