Anderson is hound over under ?2or 1 ond awaiting hearing hy the Gran') Jury, ns the result of a Christmaf morning cutty fray in the upstair, upnrtnient o fthe Dufort building, 01 Filmorc Avenue. The story as it appears from tht evidence given in tlio preliminary hearing heforc Justico of the Pence C. R. Wado Saturday morning and as it is related hy Anderson, shows that Lehman started the affair that ended with Anderson to the good. It np pears that Lehman, who was more 01 loss familiar with Mrs. Flanders, wa: jealous of tho attentions being show, tlio latter hy Anderson. Anderson, who is engaged in ped dling meat around the city, oectipiec tho room adjoining those of Mrs Flanders and her sister, Miss Mubl Post, in the Dufort building. Ho har asked tho two young ladies, alonp with some other friends to lakt Christmas dinner with him. "It was going to he somo swcl meal, as I wanted to show them thai I could cook," said Anderson ii speaking to a reporter about this par: of tho story. He did not think anything in partic ular was the matter jvlion ho awoke. Christmas morning and hoard Mrs Flanders and "Blacklo" in heated ar gumcnt in the next room, aa ho sail that it was the usual thing for then to quarrel over something, lie pro coeded to make preparations fo. shnving and was just ahout ready ti begin when ho noticed that h cdid no; have enough wood in tho room t keep the lire going. To get mon wood ho had to go to the wood shed ii. tho lower part of the building, and at ho left the room lie supped Ins razoi into his hack pocket. "As I was returning with my arm. full of wood, this fellow 'IHackie' me. me at the top of tho stairs," said An derson. "Ho said, 'You arc thai meat peddling ," a.n. Vent on to curso mo in every way la could think of. In answer to his as sertiomi that I had made a certain re mark about him, I said that thore must he a mistake somewhere ns I dit not even know him and that if he would get tho parties concerned to gether wo could probably be able t get tho matter arranged without nn trouble. 'Wo can soon do that' was the answer ho gave me." Anderson thou threw down hit load of wood and the two men wont dowr. tho hall to the room of Mrs. Flandort and her sister. Lehman throw open tho door and at onco demanded of Mr. Flandors if Anderson was tho mar. who had made tho remark ahout him. Upon receiving an answer in the nog alive, Lehman said that she liod ami wont oil" into another tirade against Anderson. "Ho made a move as if to attack mo and I said to him 'You sinipl) have got to have trouble haven't you and as ho made a movement with hix hand towards his hip pockot I grap pled with him and pulled the raroi out of my pocket and star tad to work on him. Pretty soon ho cried out to Mrs. Flanders and her slater not to let mo kill him and Mm. Flanden tried to seperate us." "I thought ho was lunching for n gun when hem ado a inov for hit hip pocket and naturally I tried to Ihi.iI him to it, I hail hwinl wmutliing tr tho way ho (mated Mra.

The only testimony takon" nt the preliminary hearing was that of Leh man and thop hysician who examined and dressed the wounds. While thoy are painful, the wounds are not con sidered serious. One gash was nbout half an inch deep and extended across the back from a ouit just balow the right shoulder blade and shows that the razor just grazed the back bone. A second gash is on the right side, ut is short and not so deep and Leh man's little finger oil tlio right hand iti also cut. Anderson appears to bo a peaceablo ort of am an, and tells a straghtfor "ard story that is affirmed in every atail by both of the young women nd only dhTeres in one particular iom the account given by "IJlnckie" hos yas that he did not make a love towards his hip pocket. It is ot known when the Grand Jury in caligction will take place, as tho .resent jury has ndjourncd anil anded in their final report, btu may e recalled ahold thcro bo enough bug- ness to warrant it.

Among tlio Christmas cheer which comos year by year we noted at the G. A. R. hall, besides the usual greens there was an abundance of golden color and on inquiry we found truly the red holly of youth was hero turn ed to the gold of age, that real gold which comes of a happy blending of a union of two hearts for half a cen tury. Fifty years ago, on Docembor 25, in Sparta, Wis., in that memorable year of 1801, W. A. DeLong and Evelyn Wilcox became mnn and wifo. Mr. DoLong is a veteran of tho Civil war and his friends of tho G. A. R. and W. R. C. on learning of this, resolved to celebrate tho occasion and tho ro sult was one of tho most happy so cial ovont of tho year. At !!:00 P. M. the bride and groom ronowod thoir vows, Rev. C. Mayno Knight per forming the ceremony. The bridnl party were arranged on the platform which was beautifully decorated. Mrs. Faulds and Mrs. Tylor ac companied tho bride who carried a l ouquet of white roses tied with gold ribbon, Mr. Fauld3 and Mr. Tyler, buth vet erans and old friends, appropriately acted as escort to tha groom as they also were both married about fifty yeuiM ago in the same ctty and sL to.

The railroads of the United States us a: oat one-third of all the lum bur that is manufactured nnd the new increase in freight rates will add from IhMy to fiffy mill ion dollars to them anjiunlly and will enable them to ha$(i more new. road and repair their old) slock. This will of course create 1 itijw demand for lumber which can- noty help but stimulate the lumber business throughout the country. -Mr. J. L. Kronenbcrg, of this city. sax that ho thinks business should pleJl up now in tho lumber line, and as- iscon as tho war is over, there viltle agreator demand for lumber thafcfor many years. Gil. R. II. Rosa says that there ihoOld be a revival in tho lumber bus inMp from the fact that the rail' roadf ujo sucji a large percentage of ihefliimber manufactured and that they will certainly do somo building noWllhey have thoir desired increase in freight rates. With these various facts before us there is certainly reason to feel hopii'ul over tho outlook for this sec tion, ftf the country during the next year.

Mr. Dungee found James with the drawer in his hands and made him 'fiskr" himself. The amount of mon ey in the man's possession was some where between $50 and $G0, but some wherea round $3.00 was missing. James was fairly well intoxicated and bogged to bo let oil' from prosecution and sincct ho season was one of gen eral good feeling, no complaint was filed against him.

Portland, Oregon Stato and coun ty cooperation in financing tho clcar i.ig of logged off lands in the stato ' i suggested in a letter written by C. V. Ijniinr to C. C. Chapman, man ager of the Portland Commercial Ultib. Mr. Lamar contends that the state iwes this aid to tho pioneers as well s to tho many others who would like 11 opportunity to possess cheap ag icultural lands. He proposes that he state and county should buy the tump lands, clear them and then sell hem to actual settlers on a 10 or 20 car payment plan. He wants the 'ommercial Club to take the matter p with the next legislature. His let- ar is as follows: Having given the question of how est to bring about the immediate dc clopmcnt of our logged olT lands ome thought, and not being a 1110111 er of your organization, I am taking his means of bringing to the atten ion of your body for its consideration plan which may be a workable one, nd in fo doing would call your atlen ion to an article in a recent issue of he Timberman. There is no reason why we should ot seek the state's aid for this pur ose. It is an much tho duty of this tatc to finance for the benefit of its lioneers for the purpose of reclaim tig its stump lands ns it has assumed t to be its duty to purchase back its vaterfront and tidelands for the bene it of its commerce; nor should our egislaturc hesitate in granting such tssistance any more than it would ex ect tho national government to re "usc aid in the state's effort to re :laim its desert wastes. Vast sums ire apportioned by both irrigation jrojects, and vast sums must bo forth :oiiiing for our logged olf lands, for t has been demonstrated that theso ands can be reclaimed Bhly by brawn nuscle nnd dynamite. Tiie settler must be extended the lame opportunity in his choice of farm and that ho is given in our dry re ;ions and the legislature must assist .he country to solve this problem that .he settler may be given tho benefit if cheap lands. Tho fact that our egislaturo will meet tho national gov rnnient half way in its nppropria .ions for irrigation purposes cstab ishes a precedent, and it should make tself ready to meet the county half naif upon request. Let us take tho matter up along these lines. I would suggest that your organization appoint an able committee for tho purpose of drafting x bill for the ratification of otlyjr 'ommercial bodies of the stato and .ater the approval of the legislature low about to convene, said bill to orovido for the purchase of loggod off lands of agricultural value from privnte owners, tlio state to furnish uilf and the county half of the nec ssary amount of purchase, together with the amount that would be cou- lidered necessary to partly clear tho laud. (Tho settler should ho willing to finish what the stale and county had started.) Lot the cost of this improvomont bo tddetl to the original cost of tho land and then sell to the settlor at that price, ho to have 10 to 20 years in which to pay for it. The interest rate should be as low as consiHtunt his first pnyniont of trio principal to bo mudo ut tho end of two yoom, lie to mnko certain valuable imiirova- munis In the meantime.
