Another Yamhill county boy has fall en in the Philippine service, to be added do the six who were previously numbered with the dead. Edwin Earle Hamilton, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Hamilton of Amity, was killed in an engagement at Sebank, Leyte, 011 December 14th. He was 28 years old. He left his home in Amity in August, 1899, and in the fol lowing month enlisted in the 43d infan try. His last letters were written on De cember 6, from Tannaura, Leyte, telling his mother they were to start on a march at 4:30, and for her not to expect to hear again for 20 or 30 days, but that, as his time of service was so nearly out, he would be home to spend the Fourth of July. On January 31 his mother, who had never missed a careful perusal of the Oregonian's columns for news of her son’s regiment, was stricken with grief to read his name among the killed. The body will be brought home for interment at some future time. McMinnville, Oregon. The Drug Center of Yamhill County. MILLINERY ! Most Complete Store in the Valley. M rs - H.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Notable among the pleasures afforded by the Shasta route ie the winter trip to southern California and Arizona. Re newed acquaintance with this section will ever develop fresh points of interest and added sources of enjoyment, under its sunny skies, in the variety of its in dustries, in its prolific vegetation and among its numberless resorts of mount ain. shore, valley and plain. The two daily Shasta trains from Portland io Cal ifornia have been recently equipped with the most approved pattern of standard and tourist sleeping cars, but the low rates of fare will still continue in effect.

Bowersox of Dayton conducted the service. : i The Noil Feasible Houle. In talking of a railroad route from Portland to Tillamook the capitalists of Portland seem to overlook the cheapest and most feasible route, which is without doubt from Sheridan by way of Grand Ronde pass. It is the best route for two or three reasons. It would get the trade of the coast from a much larger terri tory—all the way from Nehalem to Dolph, tapping the fertile valleys of the Nehalem, Wilson, Trask, Tillamook, the two Nestuccas and Three Rivers^ and' coming within easy reach of the Salmon river valley. This practically covers the whole of Tillamook county and half of Yamhill. It would mean the construc tion of only about 75 miles of road, over a route which is practically never blockad ed by snow. At the crossing of each of the aforementioned rivers would be es tablished large saw mills, to which could be floated in the winter season an un told wealth of timber. The proximity to fishing industries would also be no small item in the commerce of this sec tion, and everybody knows the dairy and agricultural products would be large. It is the route of all routes projected, re quiring the least outlay and bringing the largest returns. Eight or ten years ago a preliminary survey of this line was made and was found to be very feasible. It is the only gateway of nature for a railroad into Tillamook county, and the time is coming when a railroad will occupy it. AMITY. The probability is that the sidewalks of Amity will soon be open to the use of bicycles. Miss Emma Todd and Mr. and Mrs. Cane are down with a <severe attack of the grip. One case of diphtheria is reported io the Rea family, who live about one mile south of town. An interesting lecture by a returned missionary from China and Japan was given at the Baptist church last Monday night. School has again been closed for two weeks This was thought necessary by he school board, to prevent the further spread of diphtheria, but some are of the opinion that it was unnecessary to close the school. At this writing there is no diphtheria in town. Prof. John P. Meakin lectured here last Tuesday night in the interest of the Woodmen order. The professor is a flu ent speaker, and presented his subject ia a manner that all could understand. Good music was a feature of the enter tainment, after which was supper. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton of this place have received the sad information that their son Edwin, who was soldiering in the Philippine island, was killed the 14th o4 last month. Ed was well known here as a bright intelligent young man. well liked by all that knew him, and the entire community mourns his un timely taking off. His parents have the sympathy of the whole community. Feb 1.—H. P.
