LOCAL RECORD.


precinct, on October 18th, 1890, +, M,
Malone, an old and highly esteemed cit
izen of that vicinity. Frank, rs he was
familiarity called by his neighbors, was
an honest, industrious, exemplary citi-
zen. By his industry and economy he
had acquired a fill competency of this
worlds goods, being the owner OF 1000
acres of land. He was democrat OF the
old. lie was followed TO his last resting
place by large concourse of friends and
acQuaintances. He always had kind
word for every one OF whom he spoke.
He was kind and charitable to fault,
always ready TO divide his last morsal
with the hungry. The whole comGun.
ity have suffered great loss. Peace to
his ashes. Y. Il. Moss.
ALI PAID.-Resently a dispatch ap-
peared In the San Francisco Chronicle
that the interest on the y Z bonds due
Oct. had not been paid, The fact was
enlarged upon by the Corvallis Times and
copied In the Otcgonian, An elephant oat
of mole hill. The truth Is, Col Hogg
paid the entire amount about $500 600, a
few days afterwards. This the DEMOCRAT
gets from reliable authority. The fact may
be put down that, though there Is some
come part of trauscOutlncntal line, and
earlier ;han many predict.
Nor GuILTY. The case Of the State
of Oregon against William Carey and
George French was the one wherein two
boys were charged with burning the China
house at Jefferson on the 9TH OF Iuly last.
They were indicted for the crime of arson
at this term of the circuit court. The case
was tried Thursday, and submitted 10 the
jury yesterday morning. After receiving
the charge Of the court, the jury retired,
and at O'Clock p. m. returned verdict
of not guilty. The speech Of Hon Tilmon
Ford In the defense OF the boys was one of
the most eloquent forensic efforts ever de-
ivered in the court house.--Statesman
The case seems TO have been "Not guilty,
but don't do It again" The defendants
were mere BOYS, and It seemed probable
that they were instigated to the crime by
older heads,and the shanty burned was Of
no value anyway.
ScIo.-Ed Coins sold his hops last week
at 90 cents per pound all around. This Is
regarded as a good sale, As part of the

Lucky HoP RArsERs.-Brownsvill is
not only growing into splendid mining
center, including coal prospects, is sur
rounded by fine timber country and
good wheat fields, is thriving business
center generally; but it is also the lead
ing hop locality OF the county. This
last industry has put several thousand
dollars in circulation. Here are n few
cases: Tycer Bros, IL 900 pounds, at SO
cents, 1880. A. NJ. Templeton, 2200
pounds, at 80 cents, $720. +. NJ. Jack,
5000 pounds, at S2I. cents, $1,000. A. G.
Hausman, 1893 pounds, at S2ls cents,
$l5l5.22. A total of $S,755.22 for four
yards, in a county where there is no pre-
tention to raising them extensively, as
in the Puyallup region.
AWAY BAcK.-It is . matter OF consid-
erable pride to be able to trace ones own
ancestry back into the historical past and
to have the family tree to show for it.
Among those who can do this pretty well
are Mr. John Millard and sister, Mrs
James Elkins, of this city. A DEMocRAT
man happened TO see one Of the historical
documents, which is quite interesting.
On one side they came directly down
from Peregrine White, the first white
child born in New England which occur
red on board the Mayflower, in the har-
Dor OF Cape Cod, on Dec. 20th, 1920. On
the other side they have the Avery fam
lily back TO 1880. Mrs Fred Eggert and
Mrs Gus Staiger, formerly Of this city ARE
q branch Of the same tree. The first
Avery mentioned WAS n weaver.
We have come across a very peculiar
mathematical problem during the rast
week. We have a wood shed the cubic
contents Of which Is g6o feet or having the
capacity OF little more than 7K cords Of
wood. We have piled In about s Z cords
and have room left to split II in. Will
some one volunteer the solution ?--Telc-
phone Register.
A DEMOCRAT mans wood shed stretches
the same way; but the solution is not
hard. II can easily be explained by the
fact that two cords delivered on one Occa-
sion only measured slightly over Il cord
and half.
BEGINNING YoUNG.-Recenlly Muller
& Garrett discovered that on a couple Sun
days some money had been taken from
their money drawers. The matter was
placed In the hands of Chief of Pclicc
Hoffman, who investigated Il and soon
found the thieves, who proved 10 be four
small boys about ten years Of age, all sons
of highly respectable people, and the boys
ones who would not be expected TO be en-
gagged in such business. To small to
prosecute they were made 70 understand
that they would have to stop that kind OF a
practice.
IN AsHLASD.-Dr. w. II. Rowland, of
Albany, the animalculist, who has a ca
tarrh remedy, lectured at the opera house
Friday with the lid Of large lot OF paint
ings on this subject. Vocal and instrU-
mental music By ladies with him opened
and closed the meetings. The doctor Is a
great rustler and has big lot Of contempt
for the hoaryheaded bosh that II Is unpro.
fessional for a physician to advertise a
good thing when he has it.-Tidings.
A GRowL.-A regular attendant at the
Opera House complains to the DEMOCRAT
that the hail Is not kept clean, women
attending In white dresses coming out witt
their clothes covered with dust and dirt
The DEMOCRAT told the growler to grow
10 the authoritie5; but he declared the
newspaper to be the medium for srct
things.

ing in and Of course show big increas'
over 1880. Here is some Of it. Who'll
