W. F. Coulter, who recently moved to
this city from near Amity, is the proud
possessor of a very ffne thorough-bred
Jersey cow. This cow was five years old
in February last, and will soon drop her
fifth calf. The Jersey is pre-eminentlv
the family cow, producing the finest
cream ana butter, and requiring less feed
than the large boned scrub. Mr. Coulter
has shown excellent judgement in the
breeding and rearing of the cow, and he
is now reaping a just reward. Those fine
well matched horses you see him drive
are of the Henry stock, and they are as
good as they are beautiful.
Hon. Enoch Hoult Dead.
Word was received in this city Mon.
day that Hon. Enoch Hoult, of Harris-
burg, was dead. He died Monday morn­
ing after but a few days illness, aged
about 69 years. Mr. Hoult came to Ore­
gon at an early date and settled in Linn
county several years ago, where he has
since resided. He was a member of the
convention that framed the constitution
of the state of Oregon, having been elec­
ted a delegate from Lane county. He
also served a couple of terms in the state
senate. Mr. Hoult was widely known in
Oregon, was an honorable, upright man,
and respected by all who knew him.—
Eugene Regitter.
Nehalem Valley.
The Albina Courier says: Judge H. R.
Wilson, of Nehalem valley, was in the
city this week and brought up a few
specimens of ore from that section.
Compared with the Oswego ore it ap­
pears to be of heavier and better quality.
The judge stated that a few days before
he left the valley an exploring party con­
sisting of J. A. Deeds and wife, Cronin
and wife, and two other men, left in a
canoe for the mouth of the Nehalem
river. As the country through which
they will pass is very wild they will pro-
baplv have quite an adventurous and in­
teresting trip.

Al. Morse and Marshall Poppleton
took a spin on their byeicles last Sunday
to McMinnville, Sheridan, Ballston, Ber­
rydale and Amity.
Last week was an unlucky one for the
narrow gauge bridge carpenters working
here. Two of them had their feet
mashed, one quite seriously, and another
had his hand hurt.
Last Thursday afternoon while a gang
of bridge carpenters were repairing one
of the narrow gauge bridges near town,
the jack which was used to raise the
bent suddenly gave way, letting the
whole weight of the bent down on the
foot of one ot the men named Ross,
mashing all the toes of his left foot intoa
jelly. He was brought to town as soon
as possidle and had his foot dressed by
Dr. Smith. The chances are that lie
will lose his toes. He was taken to his
home at Silverton next day.
The attention of the county court
should be called to the condition of the
bridge across the Millican creek west of
town. There has been a few new planks
put on which makes it equal to cor­
duroy, as one plank is thin and perhaps
the very next one is thick. VVe have
heard of four different horses going
through the bridge lately. Some of the
horses have been badly skinned about
the legs, but fortunately no bones have
been broken. This is a bridge that is
being used a great deal, and something
serious is likely to happen any time, and
the county will have a damage suit on
its hands. It will bo economy to refloor it.

Sunday Justice.
Considerable fun is had in Stayton at
tlie expense of a justice of jieace. It is
said that Saturday of last week John
Giebler was arrested for assault and
taken liefore his honor, who adjourned
the case over for examination on Sun­
day, and on that day held court and
bound the prisoner over in the sum of
$200 to await the action of the grand
jury. The reason assigned by the court
for holding the trial on Sunday is that
he wanted it held while the saloon was
closed so that everybody would be solier.
The joke lies in the fact that the J. P. is
not considered a prohibitionist himself,
and the wender is will the judgment
stand ?— Statesman.
