He had a steady blue eye and a dlssi pa ten iron gray mustache. This per Foliage was Mr. Kphraim Watts, who, following a calling more fashionable In the eighteenth century than In the lat ter decades of the nineteenth, bad shaken the dust of Carlow 'from bis feet some three years previously at the utrong reiiiest of the authorities. The Herald had been particularly Insistent upon bis deportation. In the local phra-'-e, Il.-irkless had "run him out o' town." l'cihaps it was because the Herald's opposiiion, as the editor bad explained at the time, had been "mere ly moral and Impersonal," and the ed itor bad confessed to a liking for the Unprofessional qualities of Mr. Watts, that there was but a slight embarrass ment when the two gentlemen met to day. His breakfast tinlshed, Ilarkles went over to the other and extended bis baud. Cynthia, the waitress, held Iter breath and clutched the back of a chair. However.

Mr. I.!go Wllletts. a stalwart bach elor, the most eligible In Carlow, and a habitual devotee of Minnie I'.rlseoe, was seated on the veranda when Hark less turned in at the gate of the brick bouse. "The ladies will be down right otT," be said, greeting the editor's cool finery with a perceptible nvltation and the editor himself willia f riendly shake of the band. "Mildy says to wait out here." There was a faint rustling within the house, the swish of draperies on the st 11 Ira, a delicious whlsporin wlien light feet descend, tapping, to hearts that beat an answer, the telegraphic message: "We come!

She had the dlvincst straight nose, tip tilted a faint, alluring trille, nnd a dimple c left her chin, "the dead liest maelstrom In the world!" He thrilled through and through. He bad been only vaguely conscious of the tlimple In the night. It was not until lie saw her by daylight that be really knew it was there. The village hummed with life before them. They walked through shimmer ing ulrs. sweeter to breathe than nectar Is to drink. She caught a butterfly basking on a Jlinson weed, nnd before she let It go held It out to blm In her band.

They are most welcome, especially as many fields were seeded late. Hop men say that the crop is looking exceedingly well. Con servatives report that it is fully twenty -five per cent better than last year. There are no missing hiils this year. Of course they do not claim yet that the yield will be a fourth greater than last year tor tile season of lice and mould is yet to be passed, but they put the crop at 125,000 bales. Last year the yield hovered about the too mark. The eastern agent of a manufact uring company who is introducing a new hav baler was here last week. After satisfying i,.i --" dealers that his machine will handle our hay, they will place it on their lists. It seems our timothy and clover are different from that of l the Mississippi states. This new candidate is mounted on wheels. The power is horses, hitched to sweeps mounted on the fore wheels. The team travels in a circle, step ping over the coupling which lays on the ground. The bales are ejected from the front end of the press. The plunger makes two strokes at every complete circle of the team. I suggested to the agent that if he had anything really good he should go to Washington county. He is here though, to prove the adaptability of his ma chine after which, if efficient, it will lie turned over to local ma chinery men to sell. The state board is closing up the matter of getting the right of way for the Ceilo-Dalles canal. All the land owners save one, along the line have closed with the terms offered by the state. This include the O. R. & N.

The State Board for the manage ment of swamp and tide lands, con sisttng ol the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer today is hearing arguments in a contest that comes from Newport. Some twen ty or thirty years ago, the water front about the steamboad landing at Newport was vested in private owners. By purchase and transfer it is now ownes by Abbey, of the Abley hotel, Matthews, of the local newspaper, and several others who have built sea wall of rock and wharves upon which, buildings now stand. The postoffice and the rteamboat baggage rooms are on the land in question. Recently property owners across the strett, liayview hotel people, have dug in musty records and claim to have found defects in the titles of the present occupants. They now are attempting to have the state decide that it still owns the "front." They nave already made application to buy. The present occupants are making a fight for their property which they have occupied aud im proved lor nearly thirty years, The statutes of limitations does not seem to lie running very fast in this instance. Manv ofourllills- oro people are well acquainted with the property in dispute. GAULT. 1 lie Hubbard correspondent ol the Woodburn Independent savs: Those people that raise chickens can make some money during the 1905 lair if they will get in and raise a lot of chickens and have them ready for market by the time the fair be gins. The fair will surely bring a lot of eople to Portland, and while there they will eat a good many chickens, consequently there will lie a good market aud if the Oregon farmers cannot furnish them the commission men will be compelled (as they are at the present time) to send east for poultry. Rememlier tlm. poultry raisers, and make an extra effort to have a lot of nice poultry to sell in 1905 and you will be among the lucky ones aud the 1005 fair will le a help to you.

Ira Purdin, the nominee named at the county democratic convention for state senator from Washington county, failed to qualify for reasons best known to himself.

It is up to the Hillsboro and For est Grove ixrople interested in the Oregon Traction Company to make a showing of the sincerity of their intention of using Northrup street for the West Side & Suburban elec tric line, for which a franchise was granted several months ago. The Oregon Traction Company was or- ganted several weeks ago, citieus of those towns being largely inter ested in its formal ion to secure rapid transit to Portland. It was then un noticed that the company had ac- tiirtd the rights of the West Side & Suburban and that plans had Ikcii perfected for financing the en terprise to soon legin construction work.

From time to time it has been stated that Andrew Gradon, president of the Company, who is in the East, had practically completed financial ar rangements, but no one here seems to have any dt finite knowledge if when construction may be expected to start. It has been asserted that material would be forthcoming and work under way before June i, and the street committee of the Council is anxious to be shown.
