Dallas complains that several boys about town have taken delight iu fooling )ith the electric lights lie has kept every night for the past year on hie Burner for the benefit of the public. In this time he has had to buy new burn ers because of the boys breaking the glass. At other times they have turned off the lights. Sunday night last the burner was again demolished, evidently by some one striking it with" a cane r a club, as the glass was scattered along down the sidewalk. Such malicious mischief as this deserves severe punish ment, and The Roys will certainly get it if they persist in the contemptible work. Mr. Dallas donates this light for the public good, and should be protected if there is any law that will reach the perpetrators of such vandalism. Burnette E. Duncan is up from Port land cultivating his 12 acres of orchard on the East Side and preparing ground, for more trees, sir. Duncan, last week, came out of the Burlington ollice in Portland, where he has been employed all winter, and feeling hungry for out door labor, pitched in during the hot spell of last week, but the enervating weather proved too much for his ardent spirits and ha was glad to hunt the shade wigi a well developed case of spring fever. The welcome change in the weather the latter part of the week fixed him all right again for work. W. R. Hoole received, last week, the incorporation papers from Sah m for the Valley Christian church.

Soon as the accident became known Manager Early organized his forces for the re covery of the logs. Some were caught between bere. and Menominee, othera at that point and still others at points farther pelow. Mr. Early says it is pos sible that they may save two-thirds ol . the logs. Even so the loss is a neat sum as the logs were worth 5 a thous and in the river, and to those lost will have to be added the expense ol salvage of those caught. And the 1,000,000 feet of logs means nearly a month's run at the mill, which will, of course, be that much of a lose to all concerned.
