John M. Grant is now Sheriff of
Polk County, and John B. Teal is
again a member of the Commissioners

in the county offices mada by the
voters at the recent election. The
newlv elected officers were sworn in
by County Clerk E. M. Smith, Mon
day morning, and immediately entered
UDon the discharge of their duties.
Very little change will be noticed in
the courthouse "gang," as Clerk E. M.

R. L. ChftDman were re-elected, and

Sheriff Grant and his deputy, E. V.

The new Sheriff and his deputy have
entered upon their new duties like

experience as officers in the past. The
Sheriff's office is In competent nanus,
ftnH the citizens of Polk county may
rest assured that they will at all times

for two years more. The county's
business has been prudently managed,
every cent of public money has been
honestly accounted for, and all per
sons having business at the court

treatment. With such men in office,

SAW THE LAVA BEDS
Judge Burnett and Party Find Many
Relics on Famous Modoc
Battlefield.
Last Friday evening Judge Burnett,
of Salem, who has been holding court
in Elamath Falls, in the absence of
Judge Benson,-left in company with
Capt. O. C. Applegate and Attorneys
Mills and Butenic for a visit to the
lava beds, historic since the Modoc
war. The Judge and party went to
Merrill by buggy.Mr. Tedford making
the run to the landing in White Lake
with his gasoline launch in four and
three quarter hours, from where it
was transferred the same evening by
wagon into Lost river, at Merrill.
Early Saturday morning the party
started in the launch from Merrill,
arriving at the lava beds before 9
a. m. The rest of the day, and half
of the next, were spent in going over
Capt. Jack's stronghold, the scene of
the massacre of the peace commis
sioners, etc. A few relics were found,
such as empty cartridge shells, brass
buttons, etc., also a rattler with seven
buttons. Fortunately the rattle snake
was made innocuous before it could
bite any member of the party, since
the usual antidote for snake bite had
been entirely overlooked by the com
missary. Judge Burnett and party
were deeply interested in the natural
defenses of the stronghold, consisting
of crevises in the rock, caravans and
boulders, to which the combatants
had added artificial work In the nature
of hundreds of small forts and stone
breast-works. Capt. Applegate, who
is one of the few survivors of the war,
was able to point out scenes of
skirmishes and locations of troops,
spiced with personal anecdotes.
Judge Burnett enjoyed the trip
greatly, and expressed his admiration
for the natural defenses into which
the warring Modocs had withdrawn,
defenses equal to the best made by the
ablest engineers, and he stated that
the Indians could have held out there
indefinitely had food, water and am
munition been available ; that no army
could have dislodged the forces under
Captain Jack had supplies of all
kinds been at the hands of the
Indians. Klamath Falls Express.

Rev. Joseph Hoberg, 78 Years Old,
Writes 1000 Words on
Postal Card.
Perhaps the most picturesque per
sonage who attended the reunion of
the Kelly Clan Saturday at the home
or Dr. Richmond Kelly, in Portland,
was the venerable Bev. Joseph Hoberg,
who is 78 years young not 78 years
old. Over 30 years ago Rev. Mr.
Hoberg was fn charge of the East
Portland Methodist circuit, which took
in Mllwaukie, East Portland and
Powell Valley.
At the reunion he read his address,
comprising 1000 words, written by
himself on the face of a single postal
card. Although the writing is very
fine, every letter is clearly formed and
distinct. The writing does not appear
to have been the work of a man 78
years old, so clear and symmetrical
are the letters formed.
"Father" Hoberg has a Sunday
elass at McMinnville. Recently he
presented the members of the class
with a small card containing the
"Lord's Prayer" and the ten com
mandments. The "Lord's Player" was
written within the space of a quarter
and the ten commandments was com
pressed in the space of a half-dollar,
and so fine was the writing that it re
quired sharp eyes to read it
Although "Father" Hoberg was one
of the oldest men on the ground at the
clan meeting, he waved his hand and
declared, "Why, there are no old
people here." Monday's Oregonian.
WEDDED IN WEST SALEM
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fredrickson Will
Make Their Home In Falls
City.
At 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening,
June 27, amid relatives and intimate
friends gathered at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sim H.
White, occurred a very pretty wedding,
when their youngest daughter, Ruth
Lillian, became the wife or J. Edward
Fredrickson of Falls City, Rev. Davis
Errett of the First Christian church
of Salem officiating.
As the strains of the wedding march
played by Miss Jessie Smith floated
through the rooms the bride and groom
entered the parlor, attended by Miss
Neva Smith and Elmer Bales, and
under a bower of ferns and roses wore
united as one. The bride was beauti
fully dressed in white, as was also the
bridesmaid, and each carried a large
boquet of roses. Mr. and Mrs. Fred
rickson were the recipients of many
beautiful and useful gifts, showing
the esteem in which the young couple
are held.
The bride will be missed by her
many friends In West Salem, but all
join in wishing the couple all happi
ness In their new home in Falls
City. Salem Statesman.

Joe" and Mary Ann Warring, two
aged Grande Ronde Indians, were
married yesterday at the Courthouse.
There ages were given as 80 and C5
respectively, but old residents say
they are much older. The wedding
was unique inasmuch as an interpre

could not speak English. The parties
were accompanied by several Indians
