COUNTY SEAT
Court in Session After a
Prolonged Vacation
Wiu. Young and T . Linn have
concluded not t>j appeal the cases
in which they were fined $200 each
in justice court and paid their fines
recently. This with the fiues paid
by Davis and Jacobs makes a total
of $610.60 received by the justice
as the result of the late prosecu
tions. Roy Johnson will lay in
jail for 100 days, and the cases
against Mayhew and Waddle will
bo appealed.

destruction of the lumbering in
dostry in the Willamette valley, and
in fact, throughout Western Ore
