NUMBER 40
Both Commissioners Farmef And
Present
In these busy days of construction
and business rush, as distinguished
from the old days, when officials
cocked their feet up on the desks and
told stories and played seven up, and
waited for business to happen, to
take up their attention, a present
day County Court has to be “up on
its toes”, so to speak, all of the
time. More things happen nowa
days and they happen faster than
they used to. Matters cannot be put
off, as they used to be, for the peo
ple demand action, and the Judge
and Commissioners find plenty of
k'ork piling up, which they must dis
pose of or be snowed under.
The office of County Judge Is not
“a flowery bed of eaese.” as many of
the uninitiated may suppose.
By
virtue of his office, he is much In de
mand, and has all kinds of people to
deal with, and Is expected to be a
‘walking encyclopedia of knowledge’
the latter to be delivered off the reel
at once, finally and officially, provid
ed the other man is in a bit hurry,
which is often the case. He has all
kinds of cases to hear and consider,
and many knotty points of law arise
which require reference and dellbor
ation. He is the moral custodian of
the county, and delinquent boys and
girls get many a kindly lecture from
him for their own good and wel
fare with helpful suggestion and
judgment must be used in all cases,
according to the temperament of the
delinquent. Speaking of his duties
as an official the other day, the
Judge remarked that: “If he were
not bald-headed, there would be a
noticeable increase of gray hairs on
his head, since he assumed the du
ties ar his office.”
Judge Homer Mason, the present
County Judge, succeeded Judge A.
M. Hafe and was formerly a County
Judge,
*■■■*— *■
hence
—i his duties are not new
to him. He is one of the leading
dairymen of this section, and a
breeder of fine Jersey cattle, He al-
so knows tbe farming game, and is
well posted on the needs of the
county.
H. V. Alley, one of the two Com
missioners, was elected at th; Iasi
general election, and halls from the
North Fork of the Nehalem, and ir
a farmer, and seems to be fitting in
to his duties in a satisfactory man
ner.
The other Commissioner is H. M.
Farmer of Cloverdale, who is true
to name, as he also is a farmer and
dairyman. He has had the advantage
of one term’s experience and makes
up the competent trio that have the
county’s welfare at heart and inter
est in hand.

THE COW TESTING PICNIC
Much interest is developing, said
Agent Pine yesterday, in the Cow
Testing Picnic which will occur on
August 11 at the farm of John
Shields, on Long Prairie, The pub-
lie is cordially invted to be present
and free ice cream will be served.
N. C. Jamison and Prof. Coleman
will be present and each will give a
talk. A tug of war will be pulled
off between the owners of the differ
ent breeds, which promises to be an
interesting and mirthful event. Ser
eral Of the cowmen are practicing
up for the tussle, and are eating
heartily, so as to put on as much
weight as possible, as weight will be
a factor in the contest.
ODD FELLOWS TO PICNIC
The Odd Fellows and Rebekah

Odd Fellows and Rebekahs are Invit

DEATH THOUGHT DUE 10 HEART TROUBLE
Body Was Taken To Portland For
Burial
People at the Rockaway and Salt
air beaches were shocked Wednes
day forenoon by the sudden death of
Mrs. Whiteside, wife of a member
of the Portland police, whose body
was tossed about by the surf, where
she went in bathing at Rockaway,
until taken from the sea at a point
opposite Saltair.
The form of the unfortunate wo
man was first noticed by other bath
ers at Rockaway, rising and falling
upon the waves, apparently lifeless,
but as she was known to be a strung
swimmer, many thought she was all
right, until her protracted stay be
gan to alarm. In the meantime, the
body floated up near Saltair, when
it was secured and taken ashore. Al
tjinugh seemingly lifeless. Dr. Hawk
and the Life Guards worked for two
hours to restore life, but without
avail. Mrs. Whiteside’s < déafh oc-
curred about 11:30 a. m.
It is believed that her death was
due to a Budden attack of heart trou
ble, or that she suffered a stroke of
paralysis while swimming.
Her husband, who is Captain of
the Portland Police force had taken
the morning train for home, and he
was notified by wire of the sad oc-
currence.
The distressing affair cast a pall
of gloom over the beaches, as
the news was passed along. The tide
was coming in at the time, which
made the recovery of the body pos
sible.
Deceased was about forty
years af age, and was prominent In
Portland society circles.
The remains of Mrs. Whltesidei
were brought to the Henkle under
taking parlors Tuesday, prepared for
burial, and sent to Portland Thurs
day morning where Interment will
be had. The family residence Is 03
Jessup street, Portland.
The house of Wm. Elliott on the
north bank of the Kllchis river, was
totally destroyed by fire last. Satur
day. The fire was discovered while
the family was at dinner and had
gained such headway, aided by the
strong wind, that is was lmpossiole
to save any of the contents. Miss
Jennie Flndleson, a niece of the El
liotts, even lost her hat. The ftr-3
started from the roof and its exact
origin is not known—probably from
a defective flue. Only »500 insur
ance was carried on tbe house.
