Mr. John Hutchcroft, one of our most esteemed citizens, passed peacefully away leaving the inestimable legacy of a good name to his familj’ and many friends. Our postmaster, being on the jury, had to visit your city this week, leaving his two sisters in charge. They found the duties arduous, but discharged them faithfully and satisfactorily till their brother was excused. Burglars have been on their rounds in this neighborhood, and have perhaps been closer to the muzzle of a gun than they realized. Have not heard of them getting anything more than provisions so far. This is a healthy place for such gentry to Btay away from. WHITESUN A Little Cool Occasionally c o o o And likely to get cooler. Do you need a Heater?

Belat's jelly factory is running almost day and night and can’t keep up with the fruit. Henry Wooley and wife will move to Portland this week. We are sorry to lose them, but wish them success in their new home. Bad blood, bail cider, bad whisky, or something, caused lots of profanity and some hair-pulling among the boys at the dance Saturday night.

We hear Major Anderson will soon follow. Frank Senn, one of Dayton’s bright boys who finished the public school last year, has gone to Portland to attend the high school. The Dayton boys and girls are rustlers. Nearly every boy and girl here has this year earned from ten to twenty dollars picking hops. Miss Carrie Findlay of Carlton, Hul- dah Abbie of Amity, and Bertie Lowe of Portland, have come to Dayton to attend our public Bchool. By the appearance of things, there is going to be a wedding in town this wjek. No doubt the boys have their cans, etc., in readiness ere this.

Mr. and Mrs. Evans expect to move to Newberg in the near future. We are sorry indeed to lose these estimable peo ple, but what is one’s loss is another’s gain. B. Gabriel, Dayton’s enterprising mer chant, haB rented the Detmering proper ty lately vacated by Mr. Matthies, and will move his family to town for the winter. The photo tent is doing a rushing busi ness. It seems queer that people will go past a resident artist to a transient, but then, people have to be on the move now days to bo “in it.” Dayton presents a busy appearance these days. Teams are hauling large quantities of grain and produce into town every day. Both steamers go out heavily loaded each trip. The present term of circuit court has not called »way many of our citizens. Attorney Flower is in daily attendance, Mr. Crabtree is on the grand jury and Wm. Palmer on the petit jury. Rev. Hunsaker was unable to fill hie appointment at the Baptist church last Sunday, and the pulpit wae filled by Rev. Black of McMinnville, a young man of rare ability and most promising future. O my, how our street lamps loom up at night! It takes a detective armed with a dark lantern and a search warrant to find one of them after dark. Where, O where is the committee on streets and lights? Echo answers, where? Who said Dayton’s band was dead? By the fine music the boys gave us last Sunday, one could not help but think it was a very lively corpse. Dayton surely has some musical talent that she should be prond of. Please repeat the dose often boys. One of the surest signs of the return ing prosperity is easily noticed in the amount of travel. There is hardly a morning but what from five to ten pas sengers leave this little place either by boat or train, returning home with bun dles and packages of every description.

Prentiss presided, and after singing and prayer, the subject of civil government was introduced by Miss Findlay of the Dayton school. An in teresting discussion followed, but all seemed to be of the opinion that the sub Absolutely ject should be taught in our schools.
