GIRL MARRIES AGAINST
PARENTS WISHES
On Tuesday Miss Anna Christeisen
was married to Jack Evans. Thii
marriage was consumateu against the
wishes and unknown to the bride's
parents. The bride being only 10 year
of age it was necessary for the c in
trading purtics to secure a permit
signet! by one of tho parents before a
license could be secured. This permit
was secured by the girl getting her
mother to write her name on a piece
of blank paper some time ago. after
which the wording of the permit was
written Hbovo the signature. The sig
nature to the permit was "Mrs. Doru
Christensen." Mrs. Christensen does
not know how many other signatures
the couple may have, or if they have
any more, to wnnt use they mcy put
them, mid for that reason she wishes
to inform the public no' to take any
notes from her daughter or anyone else
until they have conferred with her.
Orley Kellow was indicted for draw
ing a gun on Alex. Inilah. It will be
remembered that the trouble between
Imlnh and Kellow occured last July at
which time Kellow stopped Imlah in

on him.
Julius A. Erickson was indicted on

At the Salem State Fair, which ha
just closcj the nioit prosperous session
ever held, Douglas County took first
pruc for the best county display,
forcing Bttnton County, five times win
ner of the annual contest, to take
second place. The decision was a very
close one, the judge having been for
some time undecided as to which dis
play was the best, the splended show
ing of corn in the Douglas County
booth being the final deciding factor.
Clackamas County was third, Washing

Certainly no better county exhibits
have ever before been made at th

Development of the country tribu
tary to the Sumpter Valley Railroad is
now in full swing. Mining und logging
are extremely active, but probably the
most hopeful sign of future prospeiity
in that section is the great interest
being taken by the farmers in stock
raising and dairying. Two carloads of
high grade Holsteins were recently
imported by the First National Bank
of Prairie City and these cattle have
been distributed among the farmers at
reasonable prices and on easy terms.
It is expected that within a short time
the output ol the dairy will be among
the most important products of that
section.
After several years of litigation in
volving claims in the Sileti country,
the announcement hus just been made
that the settlers have finally been
victorious nnd that patents to the land
will inimeditaely, lie issued by the
Government. With all uncertainty as
to the future removed, development
will certainly proceed with great speed.
The railroads have long been anxious
to tap that rich timber section, and
they are now free to go ahead wi th tho
work
A remarkable- record has been made
the past Summer In keeping down
forest fires in thagreut timber areas
of the Northwest, it being stated on
good uuthority that the total loss will
full under 5,000,000 feet with a val
uation less than $5,000, this in com
parison with the former low record of
about four of it under cultivation.
Vt e were told that there are about
300 acres of land in the vicinity of Sand
lake that is suitable for the raising of
cranberries, which fact must eventual
ly mean much for that locality and
Tillamook county in general.
The Atkinson Bros, have raised aa
many as "00 bushels of berries on an
acre of lanJ, and we have been told W.
C. King at one time raised 1000 bushels
on an acre. The average price per
i bushel has been, for some years, $3.00
laid down at Tillamook. Thus it will
be readily seen that the cranberry busi
ness is a very profitable one, and that
cranberry lands are valuable.
Lack of good roads has been the one
retarding influence in the cultivation
or the Sandlake Cranberry lands. It
takes money and ability to buy and
prepare cranberry lands for yielding,
and patience too, for It is necessary to
wait for three years after the plants
are set out before a yield is secured,
and as a rule people with money and
ability are not going to plant them
selves into a country that is al
most inaccessable at times and wait
three years for returns. That is the
reason why the Sagdlake country has
not gone ahead as it should have done.
After looking over the farm we en
joyed a splendid chicken dinner pre
pared by Mrs. Eugene AUinson, after
which we were taken to the beautiful
ocean beach and then over the lake to
the island that is owned by John Wah
lin who Is making improvements and
fixing up his place. He has a site for
a fine resort. From Wahiin's we drove
back to the Atkinson place and then
on home.
The Sandlake community has about
30 homes with 100 inhabitants, and
there are thousands of acres of fine
agricultural and grazing lands in that
vicinity.
The trip to Sandlake was a very en
joyable and profitable one in that it gave
us a knowledge of one of Tillamook
county's beauty spots that is rich in
resources.
26.000,000 feet in 1911. This splendid
showing was mnde possible by the
active co-operation of railroads, log

the Government rangers- und the

have been located und put out.
