Hon. Binger Hermann writes to

prominent people at Washington have
taken an interest in the project having
Crater lake set aside as a national

Dillon of the United States geological

Cur County Judge and Commission
ers have never lost an opportunity to
reduce the expenses of the county, and
haYe therefore succeeded in stopping
many leaks. But for the heavy run of
criminal business that has obtained
throughout their terln,a material reduc-
ton in the county debt would have
taken place. Their solicitude for the
interests of the people has nevertheless
been productive of good results and
their efforts are worthy of the highest
commendation. on.-Times.
Hon. w. Lair Hill has declined the
judgeship of the seventh district. We
learn that petition for the appoint
ment of Mr. Pierce Mays has been
laid before the governor. It bears the
signature of all the members of the bar
OF the district, save one, and he was
absent when the petition was circulated
Mr.. Mays is conscientious, compe-
tent and worthy young man, and we
believe that if appointed he will do
credit to himself and to the state.

rich discoveries have heretofore been
made in the hill they propose working

good paying and well developed quartz
ledge can be expected. Sentinel.
The dead body of John C. Good
win, an old hermit, who lived for near
ly ten years in a hut all alone on the
macadsm road, near Portland, was dis
covered Thursday near his hut behind
fence. 1t is thought that rheumatic
gout or heart disease caused his death.
He was 60 years old, and has relatives
in South Berwick, Maine, and is re-
ported having wealthy brother in
Colorado. Nothing but few empty
bottles, an old bed, and few yalueless
articles of household goods were found
In his hut.-Statesman
Mr.. Nasburg recently planted bed
of asparagus near his residence on the
hill at this place, and his partner,
Mr.. Hirst, raised this year as fine
row of celery as ever California pro-
duced. Now it seems to us that If
some of the farmers Of this county, in
addition to spuds and cabbage, would
raise asparagus, celery, sccale. cauli-
flower, brussel sprouts, and such other
vegetables, which at present are
brought from California by the Chin
nese merchants to supply the market
here, they would have moro money at
the end of the year, and the town folks
could get something fresh to eat once
in awhile. Coos Bay News.
