edlted paper always commends itself.
The boom edition of paper always
defeats its purpose by it's own preten-
sions, besides being needless financial
drain upon the business men of
town. Spasmotic efforts avail little in
journalism as in every other field of
activity.-Cedar Rapids Republican.
At the session of the county court
yesterday the new precinct of Tangent
Was created, it being formed from a
portion of West Albany and Center
precincts. The East Albany precinct
will also be divided The law provides
that when the voting population of a
precinct exceeds 500 it may upon peti-
ton be divided. The number of
voters in East Albany has grown to be
over 700, hence it will be divided.
This portion of Oregon is steadily in
creasing in population. The country
is becoming better improved and pro
vided with better residences, smaller
and better farms, and is supplied with
finer stock, while the city is becoming
more metropolitan, larger and richer.

CAPoN SPRINGS, July II.
Right in the heart Of the mountains, under
the base of the white cliffs, bubble up the
Capon Springs. The perfect climate during
the hot months, the lovely walks and drives
through wild and romantic country, the op-
ortunities for the enjoyment Of fine bass fish
ing in Capon river and the healing waters
make it a very desirable place for rest COM
fort and pleasure.
The antiquity Of this resort is not the least
remarkable thing about it. and long before the
hotel was built the wealthy families of Vir-
ginia and the neighborlng states pitched their
tents around the springs during the heated
term.
Now one finds spacious hotel, the lofty COL
onnades of which seem like the '.Grand

Women Call at the jail to See the
Youthful Prisoner, Ii. Shepherd White.

None of B. shepherd Whites female friends
have yet seen him behind the bars in the Dis
trict Jail. although several of them have called.
The guards have an idea that some of them
had fruit or flowers for the prisoner. but would
not leave their gifts because they were unable
to see him. The reason they were refused an
audience with the prisoner was because they
called after the visiting hours, namely, from 3
am. to pm. The callers mentioned did not
reach the Jail until about O'Clock pm.
