Ashland now has the distinction of being the smallest city In the world supporting a Temple of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Noble» o l the Mystic Shrine. Safecrackers blew open the safe of the Lewis Shattuck general merchan dise store at Gresham Friday night, taking $150 as the result of their crime. This la the second attempt that has been made on the Shattuck safe, the other being a year ago, when the robbers were foiled. Bids were opened last week for the construction of a public building at Eugene, Or. The bidders were as follows: Campbell Building Com pany, Salt Lake City, $55,500; W. O. Heckert, Eugene, $62,580; Geo. C. Mourer, Salem, $63,326; Welch Bros., Salem, $54 957; Charles A. Gray. Portland, $66,225. No award has yet been made. In the circuit court at Vale last week Nathaniel Silvey was acquitted by a jury of the charge of man slaughter for killing Cyrus I.ee at Jordan Valley last winter. The Jury accepted Silvey's story that Lee at tacked him when he was incapacitat ed for fighting and that he used a jack knife only when he believed Lee was similarly armed. The Condon National and the Gill iam county banks, of Condon, have purchased the building, fixtures and furniture and absorbed the business of the First National Bank of Con don. It is learned that the Gilliam County Bank intends to nationalize under the title of the First National Bank of Condon, and also that tt will retain the same officers. Every justice of the peace now holding office or who has held such office In Portland within the last six years is to be forced by the county commissioners, In accordance with statutory provisions, to turn every cent of the amount collected by him in marriage fees into the county treasury. The sum total ls said to run into four figures. W. E. Gage, a miner, living about six miles from Grants Fass, set out a large patch of strawberries an.- the deer ate the vines down into tht- ground. To protect a large bed of onions he took hi» dog and tied him in the middle of It, with a 20-foot rope, but the dog was evidently the one that was afraid, for the deer ate up the entire patch, though they left the dog unharmed. A “ delinquent” verdict was re turned by the jury against Jackson Chase Reed, for the murder of Geo. DeMars, last week in the Juvenile Court. This result will moan that the lad will become a ward of the court and can be disposed of by Judge Gantenbein as* his judgment may determine for the best interests of the boy. He can send him to the Reform School, where he would be required to serve only about 13 months, or the court may place him with gome person In whose guidance he has confidence. By an order issued by Ralph Blals- dell, auditor of the Harriman lines I in Oregon, the men under him are j prohibited from entering a saloon for ; any reason wha'soever The number j of men In Mr. Blaisdeli's denarfment and acting under him directly Is about 65. In explanation of his or- j der. Mr. Blaisdell say» that teetotal ers are universally considered more efficient than those who tipple, even to a slight extent. Interesting Items Gathered From A ll i arts of the State. e ? Entertains Dallas Widows. Dallna— A dinner this year that will far surpass the one he gave In 1907 to celebrate bis 83d birthday, when he entertained all the widows of Dallas, is promised for his 84th anniversary by Uncle Billy (W C.) Brown. The great day comes on November 3 0, and already Dallas ls a-flutter over the event. Not only Dallas widows, but all the widows In town are to participate in this next festival. That Isn’t all. The widower who marries first will be presented with a hickory cane. Uncle Billy is a widower himself. From all over the state they wrote him last year asking invitations to the dinner. Many of them seemed to think it was a scheme of Uncle Billy to get the pick of the state's widows together, then select one from among them for himself. They were disappointed. No matter what their charms, the festival was held down to Dallas residents. Some of them did not want to wait for the dinner— they offered Uncle Billy their hearts and hands right there. These were the letters that did not please the old man, for he hates to have the motive of his dinner mis understood. Milwaukee Man Misslnng. Milwaukee— Friends are unable to explain the mysterious disappearance of James H. Reid, ex-frult commis sioner and one of the best known horticulturists of the state, who left his home at Milwaukee, Or., October 16, and so far as can be learned, has not been seen since that time. Strict secrecy has been maintained by his friends since his disappear ance, and at his home no explana tion is offered. Residents of Milwaukee, who say they know the secret connected with his disappearance, declare that fi nancial and domestic troubles are largely responsible for the mysteri ous absence of Mr, Reid. Before his appointment as fruit commissioner Reid was a soldier, having served in the Philippines, where he was wounded. His record as fruit inspector is said to have bean an excellent one and he was regarded as one of the best Informed men la the state on fruit raising Land Thrown Open, Portland— Formal announcement of the second opening of the UmatiU» Irrigation project will be made short ly by the Secretary of the Interior, This unit Includes 2500 acre» of ir rigable land.

Roseburg— Sheriff Fenton returned from Gardiner Saturday evening, where he arrested Rev. G. C. Sum mers, alias George Clark, wanted at Throckmorton, Texas, on a charge of obtaining money under false pre tenses. Summers left hi» native state In 1904, and since that time has been filling different pulpits throughout this state under the alias of Clark. An officer from Texas arrived here Monday for the purpose o f escorting him back to the Lone Star state.
