Henry Rico aged 12 years, son of E. M. Riea who Uvea In North Hide addition to Hillsboro, died at his home last Tuesday night. The lad had been atllicted with infltuiiatory rheumatism since IHcemher. About a month ago bin heart became In volved and although the lest modi cal aiil wan called no relief followed. Intense, nurturing was tho lot of the patient boy until relcaso came in death. Tho funeral was at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the Evangelical church. Probably the most important iiiauufiicturing industry In tho atate is the papsr mills at Oregon City lis magnitude la realized when the coct of trotting logs to the pulp mills is btated. The capital r quired to cany the logging business is consid orablo. So far but one firm, the ('has. K. Spaulding lagging Co, lias considered Itself strong enough to engage in tho business. The logs used aie cottonwool), w hite fir and heml'M'k. This timber ia found in the bottoms of tho Willamette rver and it tributaries. A year ago the company had u camp on the Tuala tin, but it has not been maintained for Heveral mouths. Logs are cut in winter and hiring and floated down the Willamette river to the milts at Oregon City in summer. This float ing is culled a "drive." On thin drive are employed over one hun dred men, two steamboats besides skills. Thn expense frequently reaches 10011 per day. When de livered the logs are worth almost $10 er thousand feet. Participation In tho ps.y roll is desired by many more lb mi the laborers employed directly. Merchants, stockmen, farmers, all have an interest in the product. Interesting exercises at the public school lust Friday entertained alaige number of visitors. The principal feature of tho occassion was the pres entation of a flag to the school by lien: Ransom It ief Corps nuxllllsry to tho . A. R. The flag isabeatiti ful hunting 7 by M feet In size. The entire cor was present and atandiiig with the llav in form, Mrs. Nancy Haines, President of the corps iinido the presentation address. At its close the president said, 'members of the . corps salute the flag." With the precision ol vet erans the Indies In three motions brought the open hand smartly up tthooldor high mini to the front and then lowered the hand at tho same time repeating In unison the neeom pauing words, "I pledge my allegi ance, to Ood anil our country one country, one language, one flag." On bcbiilt ol tl.o school, director Huston nvepted the 11 tg and the trust Hint goes with it In nn address of lilt minutes. At its conclusion Principal Burns said "Pupils, salute your flag." Three hundred pupils will) the dignity of American cili Knuship aroso and gracefully threw out the right hand face high toward IIih II ig nod in concert said: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which It stands one na tion, indivisible, with liberty and justice to all." The flag Is put up in thu nioruing on the stair at the top if tho building where It remains in storm or snn.hlne till 4 o'clock p. m. when it is lowered for night. Nu army garrison Is more regular in its daily 11 ig raising and lowering than 11 illsls.ro public eehoiil. List Wednesday the flag was st at half mast out of respect for a fellow pupil, Henry Rice, who had il nil Tuesday night.

I.I LI YALE. Nature see ma to be wending forth her best flower to greet the vision of travelers panting through Lily Vale, and the birds are singing their sweet eat aongs to cheer all. Two young ladies while returning home from revival meeting at Pat tou school house horseback, heard a panther scream nearby. They didn't stop to returu greetings but establish ed new record la arriving at home that will lie bard to heat.

The first de bate of this term was held last Fri day afternoon. The question was "resolved that fire ia more destruc tive than water." The leader on the affirmative was Misa Pernilla Olson, on the negative Mr. Henry Yunker.

Ooeser of North Yamhill waa ia Ilillsboro this week. While here he talked quite freely about the oail mine that ia on his land. The Portlsnd Coal Development Com pany ia working '20 hours a day and steadily drivinz t lie tunnel In the mountain. What at first was 7-foot vein has widened to 8 feet, and the atrataa of eoul are thicker while the slate gives evidence pinching out. As yet water gives little trouhje ao that the mine kept dry with a single lilt pump worked by band. The tunnel Is long, between 400 and 600 feet, that parallel passages for the sake of ai have to be provided. By this aim pie means good ventilation la aecur eu. The company ia sinking at point near the tunnel outer opening a 4-iuch well to find out what Is be low the floor of the mine. As this well is In the open, bad weather in terferos, but as the season advances uuiuteruuted work will make more rauid uroirress noasible. The coal from this prospect hole burned un der Mr. L. M. House's boiler the past winter gave good satisfac tion, when it is considered that was not separated from the slate and clay that was dumped with the coal at the mine opening. The miners were anxious to get iu the mountain aui made no attempt to keep apart the base earths and the coal. Fall will see a deer hole in the uiouu taiu, and the prospectors confidently exoect bv that time to uncover an eight or ten foot vein of coal.

UEri'ltLIL'AS LEt;iSI.TI K TICKET From week to week the personal career of the Republican candidates on the county ticket will be meu tioned. The head of the ticket prop. erly comes first. Hob. Itrace I. Partly Mr. Purdyisa native of Oregon having been born in Salem In 1854 His father and mother were of the immigration of 1847, coming from Ohio. Bruce F. was educated priu ci ally In the public school of Salem, though lie took a short academic course in Willamette University. At the aire of 21 years he went to Klickitat county, Washington, whore he engaged in farming and stock raisiue. At the election in 1S90 he was on the republican ticket for rep resentative to the legislature and was elected. He served in the memora ble long session of that year standing always for the rights of the people and m gainst the monopolies that was at that time ao much . iu evidence. VVhllu 1.1a v.iftA Id rmsirileil ttnntl oftener than "aye" his friends at home were entirely satisfied with his official couduct. In 1K1 he sold his interests lu Washington and came to this county. He bought a farm near Dilley where he engaged In farming till about four yeais ago. At that time he bought stock In the Oaston Imperative Milling Coui' pauy. He was made manager of the mill which position he now holds. Mr. Purdy has the respect ami esteem of his neighbors, and is regarded aa a very desirable man in his town. Thn convention exercised wise discression where it selected hun to be a standard bearer of the party. Ha Is tried and true and will when gent to the capital truly repre sent the county.' Or. lliarlr Hinei. Dr. Hines is a son of T. M. Ilines, a pioneer of Oregon, and waa born on the Ilines donation land claim adjoining Forest Erove in 1858, and is now 44 years of nge. He waa educated in the public school of dis trict 15 excepting the finishing in Tualatin Academy. His profession al stuJies were commenced at Am.. Aria r. Michigan, one of the best medical schools in America. He ana there two years. He then went to Belvue Hospital, New York where he remained a year graduat ing with high honors. Aftergradua tion he relumed to Oregon. In 1895 he went to Jackson county, this state, where he suecessfully practiced medicine till 1900 when he had op portunlty to buy a drug store at Forest Orove. He bought and re moved here continuing the practice of medicine in this county in conneo tion with the management of his store. In politics Dr. Hines has always been a republican. 1 n 1898 in strong democratic Jackson couuly, he was nominated coroner by the republl cans and elected. While a very quiet man, Dr Ilines is a good man ager and a vote getter. He knows how to attract men to his cause, and as a legislator he will lie most valua able. His integrity is beyond quos tion and being at all fines self-pos sessed, he Is not one who will be confused in emergencies. Dr. Hines will poll a heavy vote in Forest Orove. i). M. C. (iault. Gault, who is now 60 years of age came to Oregon with his father and mother In 1852. His education was commenced and completed, as far as schools are factors, in this state, first at Tualatin Academy and later at Salem in Willamette University. In 18G5 he went Into the Jackson ville, Or., Sentinel newspaper office where his taste for the country news paper was created. In 18C8 he came to Salem and far a time did work In the editorial rooms of the Salem Statesman. In 18S2 be was with the Northwest Daily News, Portland, nd In 1892 he bought stock In the Ilillsboro Publishing Company and became editor and manager of the Ilillsboro Independent and where he is now. In 1876 he was elected on the republican ticket as representa tive from Washington county to the legislature and again in 1882 from Multnomah county. In 1876 the re publicans were In a helpltss minor ity, but the hanjfut caucused, Clault being chairman of the caucus. That was the session when Gov. O rover was elected V. . senator py me emocrats. In 1882 the republicans had votes enough to elect a senator butl6 senators and representatives would not go Into caucus, wherefore tho caucus tlid not name the senator thought Qault voted alone on the last ballot for the caucus nominee. Hoa. J. N. Dolph, republican, was elected that year. If the partiea who shot and killed W. H. Taylor's domestic ducks that were feeding in their own pond by the Long Bridge will call and settle, they will save exposure by au action to collect the value and a crlmnal prosecution. See. I lev.
