I Husband Arrested for Non eupport
Auother buslaiHlJtho is in the lime
light and who has gotten himself into
the toils of the law, is Leslie Oliver,
who was arrested at Leland, last Sat
urday, where he bas been employed
in the big lot of work being done by :
the railroad, the arrest was made '
upon request of tiie sheriff of Cowlitz !
county, Washington, and this week
a deputy sheriff arrived from that lo-1
cality, and tuok Oliver back to face
the charges made against him. He is
accused of having deserted- his family
and lefl them without means of sup
port. This is a criminal offense in
Washington and it is beiug rigidly
enforced op that way, with very
good effect.
Oliver declares that he was com
pelled to marry the woman against
bis will and that It is her father who
is at the bottom of his arrest. But he
throws some suspicion upon this
declaration by declaring that he was
intending to send seme mousy back to
his wife, aud that he was arrested on
his first pay day aud that he never had
yet a chance to send her any oath.
Be this as it may, he will now have
a chance to convince the court of
Cowlitz county, that be really in
tended to care for his family and not
leave them a charge upon the . public.
Very Little Dirt le Moving.
It is evident that the realty market
is not so very lively these days, if one
may judge by the number of deeds
which are being placed on file with
the connty clerk. The filings have
fallen off very materially, during the
past two weeks and now they do not
amount to one-nair the number lor
merly placed on record. Those just

Some Minor Matters.
That the holidtys are still on.
Is quite evident iu all parts of the
court house. True, some of the offices
are kept open and a certain amount
of business is carried on, but on the
whole there is nothing doing or much
iuiportauoe. Business is in the
meantime piling up iu many depart
ment and it means that the county of
ficials will have to get In and make
op for lost time, wheu once Governor
Chamberlain stops havlug his holi
days. Word comes from T. P. Judson,
who was for over 30 years one of the
familiar figures in and around the
court honse. He was deputy clerk
under Chas. Hughes, aud for five
years, was holding a similar position
uuder Roy BarttaU . aud .for two
years was filling a like place uudor
County Clerk Cheshire. He is now
iu one of the hospitals, at Sr, Louis,
Mo., and is suffering from a bad
cancer.

P. B. Wickham superintendent of
the Alameda Copper Mines of the
Gtlice distriot was at the county Beat
for a few days this week on important
business. He informed the Courier
representative that everything was
looking fine in that camp and bat for
the little fiuanoial flurry they wonld
have a big force cf men on their
properties. As it is, his company
had 15 men at work aud they are
keeping three levels in operation.
He remarked that the outlook for that
camp was much brighter than he had
ever known it to be before. Com
menting upon tbe mining industry in
this section, Superintendent Wickham
touk occasion to remark that in his
opinion the mining Industry was but
in its infancy aud further, that it the
residents of Oregon wonld only take
the interesst in this' matter that is
taken. in other states and localities,
that it would soon deuiostrate that the
mines of Oregon were far aud away
ahead of any other backing .of the
country. As it is, it ' takes the out
siders to oome in aud make things
good and they are reaping the benefits
which should come to the natives of
this state.
Mr. Rader, who has been working
on the Blue Ledge Mine, during the
summer mouths, is home to spend the
wiuter, accouipauied by his wife, the
mine hating cut iluwn its working

will likely be resumed early next
