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.
