It is more than probable that the prevailing price lor cheese this year will lie in advance of any previous year, und the quantity will much larger and quality greatly improv, ed and of a uniform guide.

It is believed that had the cases recently tried and dismissed in the justice court been tried in the circuit court, a verdict ot guilty would hate been returned in eticb instance. * r ♦ We have received a letter informing us that a certain married man while bring Ing a young woman to this county forced her tn sleep with him and since then she was taken out to Portland and is now the mother of a child. Quite fre- queniy we receive anonymous letters of a like character from persona who think that it is the dutv of the I'rai to expose such depravity. Probaldv it Is, but we have noticed Ibis, that a great many persons who think that an editor should be fearless and outspoken, have not the moful backbone and courage to sign the letteisthey send to the l'reae, showing, to one wav of thinking, that a large nuailier of people lack moral courage. 11 all the inciitentk in the letter are true, then thia ie n matter for the District At torney's office and the grand jury to grapide with,not the editor of this new s- paper. a • • There was one little incident in the murder trial on Saturday which struck us aa somewhat peculiar. It was during a lull in the cross examwation of N rd- Strom, the murderer. In a loud, defiant voice, the man who hadconimitted mor- der and robbery, blunted out. "I'd like to know what right they had to open irn ( lettei referring to the letter he wrote t<> hi* sinter telling her <»f the crime h» had committed, Nordstrom assumed an injured attitude, but lie obtained n<» sat islMction, for no one attempted to a ns wet his query. This shows the character ol the man to a nicety. The way he looked at it. it was a terrible thing to open nr.d lead his letter. Yet for a robust voting man to kill tn cold Idood an old man and then rob his victim, did not concern him much. As the murderer stood before his victim the day of the inquest, whose face “was disfigured and coveted with blood, the murderer cooly admitted that he had made a good job of it. Yet he ' showed a most indignant 'spirit on Sat- | urday about his letter being opened as though that was the most serious crime of the two. * ¥ * There was a general opinion amongst those who listened to the evidence in the murder case that the jury would bring in a verdict of murder in the first degree in ten minutes. They were badly mis taken. The attorneys for Nordstrom had a bad case, especially when the prisoner admitted on the stand that it was a pre meditated murder, cooly and deliver ately committed for the pui pose of rob bing Peterson of his money. No other inference can or should be drawn when such evidence is produced and co-ober* ated by a number of witnesses. The attorneys for the defence knew this, and being appointed by the court to defend Nordstrom, they put up a good fight for the accused, es|>ecially in the closing argu ment. Attorney A. W. Severance’s plea for mercy was a strong one, touching the tender spot in the hearts of some of the jurors and the large audience, which brought tears to their eyes as he depicted the young man's life from the time that he left his home in Sweden at the age of 15, the demoralizing associations that beset a sailor and the temptations that confronted him when he came to this city. This Mr.Severance wove together, making one of the most touching appeals ever made tc. a jury in Tillamook county, and was one ot the most interesting fea tures of the whole trial. It was to ward off a verdict of murder in the first degree, and although a difficult task confronted him. all must admit who heard him that Mr. Severance made a powerful, forciful argument for the murderer and which had its effect on some of the jurors, so much so that the jury failed to agree.

Final 27 Miles of Lytle Road to Tillamook to be Rushed. I Bids will be opened here to-day Thurs day for the biggest railroad construc tion contract let in this state for years. Tenders have been asked of railroad contractors for the job, which involves the expenditure of approximately $2.0. .0,- 000, and means the completion of the Tillamook road. The contract is for the construction of the final 27 miles ol the Pacific Railway & Navigation Company, a Harriman line of which E. E. Lytle is president. It is tbe purpose of the Harriman in terests to let tl,e contract (as a whole, and nine contractors are bidding on the work. If a reliable bidder offers to do the whole job ut a reasonable figure, he will be given the entire contract, which will be greater thnn any similar work done in Oregon fur a long time. Many difficulties confront the man who gets the contract. He will not only have to lay out a railroad through one of the roughest portions ol the state, far from sources of supply and settle merits, but he will have to build his own wagon roads to transport supplies and materials. Only rough trails, hewed out of the primeval forest of the Coast Range by surveyors for the railroad company now traverse the country. In the 27 miles through the heart of the mountains 19 tunnels will bo driven. There is much rock work to lie done of a heavy character and innumerable cuts through the hills, as well as high trestles to bridge the rapid mountain streams will be built. The bid for the work will be awarded after the figures submitted by contrae- t-irs are examined by Chief Engineer Davis, of the Tillamook line, It is the wish of the company's officials to rush the work along to completion. It is hoped to have trains running to Tilla mook from Portland within the coming year. By getting the remaining construction under way at the proper season of the year to admit of the greatest progress being made during the Summer, it is thought tbe whole line may he completed by the Summer of 1910—Oiegoniun, A Healing Salve for Burns Chappea Hands and Sore Nipples As a healing salve for burns, sores, sore nipples and chapped hands Chain- lierlnin's Salve is most excellent.

Animal actors lire by no means new to the stage. There are on record in stances where a four legged performer has made tbe greatest success in a play, drawing hundreds of people night after night by the magnetism of his Inarticulate art. In 1814 “The Dog of Montargis" was produced at Covent Garden theater. London. It was writ ten around a true lucldent In which a man was murdered in the forest of Bondy and the murderer tracked by means of his dog. One day this dog suddenly sprang at the throat of a man and almost killed him. whereupon the wretch, terror struck, confessed that be was tbe murderer. This dra matic Incident formed the basis of the play, and everything depended upon the cleverness of the dog. He was called Dragon, and his acting was so marvelous that the play achieved a re markable success, running for thirty- nine performances.
