THE REUTER VINEYARD, NORTH WEST OF FOREST GROVE. In s ta lla tio n C erem o n y F o r Pom onaa. There should be a more elaborate and > • impressive Ciftfftony for*tfle ,|ln8tiflln! tiou o f officers o f subordinate and Po mona grauges than the one In present use, says a writer In the Rural New Yorker. It Is good, but it may be Im proved. We have seen poetical forms for Installation, but we believe there is no better form than good prose. This is sometimes a public ceremony, and then all the more Is there need of au Impressive service so that those out side our gntes may learn somewhat of our teachings and purposes. However, the present form for Installation may be made more effective thau It Is If given without the use of the mnnual. This Is now done by some deputies and other installing officers. Simply rend. It hns little of Impressiveness; recited, with such impromptu remarks ns the occasion may Inspire, It would leave a more lusting Impression nnd thereby serve its purpose better. Circuit Court will convene on the 20th inst., the regular time for the July term. H. G. Wright, a tombstone manu facturer and salesman, o f Portland, Or., has brought an action against C. H. Stewart, o f Hillsboro, for the sum o f $250, on account o f labor and ma terial furnished on stone coping for the Stewart burial lot at Hillsboro cemetery. The plaintiff alleges that Stewart entered into a contract with him to do this work, which he Is w ill ing to perform, but the defendant will not allow him to fulfill the contract. Stewart hired one G. Hlckettner to do the work, and he finished it before W right got on the ground. W right came on later with the stone, but Stewart forbade him to place It on the lot. Geo. R. Bagley is attorney for tho plaintiff. Herman Boehme has brought suit for divorce against Marie Boehme. The complaint states that they were married February, 1881, at Leipzig, Germany. The plaintiff alleges deser tion of the defendant for cause o f di vorce. Chas. J. Schnabel, o f Portland, is attorney for plaintiff, and Edwin T. Taggart, o f Portland, for defendant.
