No Creamery Yet.

1t seems Salem is having some
trouble in establishing II creamery.
They set n time for public meeting
of the farmers and the creamery
men and invariably these meetings
are poorly attended, II we are to
have II cheese factory it will take
some rustling just rs it has done to
secure the street railway line, wool
en- null and like enterprises. There
Is no doubt but that creamery and
cold storage here would pay quite
well and the day is not far distant
when such will Ice established here.

There are perhaps more very old
men living in the Willamette valley
than can be found in the same small
population anywhere else. Among
the aged veterans Mr.. George i.
WagnOn Of Salem is conspicuous.
He il a true Kentuckian Of the old
style in manners and conversation.
He was born in Hardin county, KY,
January 20, 1900, and is therefore in
his ninctieth year. His father re-
moved to Indiana at very early
time, about 1903, where George grew
up i'm the then far back woods. He
went to California during the ear
liest period Of the gold excitement.
In 1853 he settled in Oregon,on South
Pniric nine miles south of Salem,
an has lived in the vicinity ever
since. Time has done little COM
p rltivclv towards impairing his
vgor Of BODY and mind and his

The fJllowing from the Orcgonian
tell. Of the crime and subsequent
arrest Of Il ChinawOman in Salem
last evening: Yesterday morning n
hack containing several Cinnamon
drove over 10 East Portland from the
West Side in great haste, Just before
the Oregon q California train started
south, aud scanned the train very
closely. Their attention was at
tractcd to ChinawOman who was
getting on the train. They did not
attempt to modest her, but looked
around for an officer. None WAS
found, and the train started with
tho woman on board. 1t seems that
the woman had been living with one
chinamcn who came over in the
hack, and she got possession of II
check for 5000, some cash and jew
clry, with which she was cmdcavOr-
ing to make her escape. Though
they saw her get on the train they
were afraid to stop her rs they knew
she was armed and would resist.
As soon rs the train left the China
men sought Marshal Morgan, ac-
quaintcd him with the circumstances
and instructed him to take action to
capture the woman. lie telegraph
ed to j. II. Ross, chief police of
Salem, to watch the train and hold
the woman at that place. lie re-
cciVcd II dispatch in the afternoon
from Ross stating that he had the
woman locked up, that she had the
$1,000 check, SG5 10 and two rings in
her possession. Marshal Morgan
got out the necessary warrant, and
will go to Salem this morning and
re;urn.wlth the woman on the $3.50
train.

A Dismal Hunting Party.

A party of hunters left Austin at 3
o'clock yesterday morning, expecting
to get to the hunting grounds by day
light and catch the ducks mapping. A
cold rain was falling-but the party
were in high spirits, and had three
gallons more under the seat. Major
Devoll, of Philadelphia, told of hunt
ing canvas backs on the Maryland
coast, and Captain Hutchins and
Beauregard Wilson related to him
their numerous adventures with
panthers and wild cats in the suburbs
OF Austin. They crossed the bridge
and turnpike without losing the road,
but shortly after passing the fork they
became hopel"ssly lost in the brush,
and almost froze until daylight came
to their relief, when they secured the
services of pilot who brought them
safely to town. Major Devoll was in
bed at the Driskill all day and Captain
Hutchings and Mr.. Wilson have not
been seen about their usual haunts.
