Senator Oliver has made a close stud of thl dameerous peat, and every land holder will agree with him when he -says that a few vig orous presecutions are necessary in order to check the encroachments thu wnml unon the land. So far as the Senator has observed, there Is little of the weed in Wallowa, county. But Union county isi over run .' with it end whole fields in places are choked by it and crops ruined. Along the railway, the only point at which the Senator has ob served the weed In this county is about the 0. R. & N." station la Joseph, Here It may be, said that ' all railways are subject to a maxi mum fine of $100 for permitting! tie weed to grow along their right of wnj'. - . The weed 1 carried Into the county by freight cars and the seed. Is so small that Its dissemination Id wide Moreover tne plant Itself is so shaped when ripe as to roll before the wind like a tumble- wesd, scattering thousands of seeds everywhere. Senator Oliver be lieves that proper cutting of th pest .will exterminate it. In that the seeds do not appear to retain vitality year upon year as the of tht yellow mustard.

N08LE8 1 JULY 15, AT ASOTIN So-called "near beer" heard it death knell sounded In Wallow county by the Jury to Uie case of the State of Oregon vs. John Mit chell and Johm Pipes of Wallowa. Both defendant were found guilty. Alleged "near beer" was foundl 'to contain, on chemical analysis, 5.39 per cent, alcohol. Ordinary laser beer was found, on analysis, to con tnto. from 3 to 6 per cent alcohol. So-called "near beer" was thus found to be an intoxicating beverage and as such was ound to be in violation' of the Wallowa county local option law when Bold, I " A Big Verdict No Jurv within recent months in this county has made so Important a decision. The finding of the Jurors virtually sounds the death knell or so-called "near beer" In this county, and means that Instead of Hie al of the intoxicant proml3coualy and openly and with impunity, it must bo either "bootlegged" as in the case of whisky, or not sold at aUi during the operation of the present law. The verdict on the testimony in the case annihilates, the presumed le gality of near beer" as a roercnant able commodity. This will probably make ithe breweries howl. the time of Mrs. Nobles' death The funeral services were from the Christian church at Aso tin. July 16.
