Imnroved and well-kept school prop
erty will not only draw settlers to the
district, but win also increase me

EARLY TIMES RECALLED
A. Noltner Was Editor of Corvallis
Newspaper Fifty Years Ago.
r
The visitof A. Noltner, the veteran
newspaper man, to Corvallis this
week , causes the Times to recall the
following facts of history: "Tony
Noltner was connected for a time with
the first paper published in Corvallip,
the Occidental Messenger, a weekly
democratic journal, which was found
ed in the early '50s. The plant was
owned by the late J. C. Avery, and
J. H. Slater was the editor. Mr. Nolt
ner was associated with Mr. Slater in
the publication of the Messenger.
"Mr. Noltner was born in Germany,
and at the age of three with his
parents came to America. , His tenth
birthday occurred during the journey
across the plains, the destination be
ing San Diego, California, where he
arrived in time to be the first white
child in the town. At the age of 19,
which was in 1857, he arrived in
Corvallis, where he remained as
alternate clerk in a store, job printer
and newspaper editor till 1862 when
he went to Eugene, and began the
publication of a paper in that town.
"Mr. Noltner has always held a
high place in the councils of the
democratic party. He is now con
nected with the Rural Spirit, pub
lished at Portland."
Goes to Washington.
J. G. VanOrsdel is in receipt of a
letter from his brother Judge J. A.
VanOrsdel, of Cheyenne, Wyoming,
informing him of the latter's appoint
ment to the position of an Assistant
Attorney-General of the United States.
Judge VanOrsdel was for many years
Attorney-General of the State of Wy
oming, and a few months ago was
appointed to a position on theSupreme
Bench of his state. He will leave with
his family for Washington early in
January. Judge VanOrsdel has many
friends in Dallas, where he has often
visited with his brother's family, and
the news of his appointment to this
responsible position at Washington is
pleasing to all.
