/ a
report Of the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture, through the courtesy of Sena-
tor Mitchell.
Say, have you noticed how much
better times have become since the
repeal bill has passed? Foreign
and domestic capital are now max
ing frantic efforts to seek invest
ments. Money is as plentiful as
red apples in Oregon. Everybody
has work and all are happy, con-
tented and prosperous. Debt will
soon become thing of the misty
past. Who has got two bits they
can spare for a few days1
Ladd & Tilton, of Portland have
filed objections to a number of
"set-offs" by which parties who
owe the defunct bank of Hamilton,
Job & Co. are trying to square their
debts. 1t is alleged in their objec-
tions that the claims of the various
parties did not exist at the time of
the failure but have since been ac-
quired by them. Or in other words
the parties have bought claims
against the bank at a discount
which they thought would have
par value in paying their debts.
On Monday morning Mrs. J. r.
Vincent and Mrs. Alice Waugh
commenced eanvassing for money
and labor to aid in clearing and
fencing the Toledo cemetery, and
named Thursday for the day to do
the work. The ladies raised about
$50 with which they bought lumber,
wire and nails. On Thursday fifty
men, women and girls gathered at
the cemetery, the men with axes,
saws and hammers, and the ladies
bringing pleuty of provisions. By
S O'Clock the ground was all cleared |
and good fence inclosed the
ground. The cemetery will now
be turned over to the Odd Fellows,
and lots sold and the money used
in beautifying the grounds.
Attorneys Muir and Bell, of
Portland, visited Corvallis last week
and examined all of the right of
way deeds, miscellaneous agree
ments and mortgages, all circuit
court orders, including the orders,
condemning private property for
right of way, and the articles of in
corporation Of both the Oregon Pa
cific and the Willamette Valley and
Coast railroads. They claim to
represent the holders of receivers
certificates but the information they !
carried away would be of use only |
to certificate holders who contem-
plate purchase. This gives color
to the claim that there will be bid
ders at the forthcoming sale.
A true bill was brought in against
Jack f. Simpson, the well-known
o. P. engineer, on the charge of
manslaughter, preferred by his
first wife. She charges him with
giving her medicine several years
ago for the purpose of producing an
abortion, which, she complains,
was successfully done. At re-
cent term of court Mr.. Simpson
divorce from his wife.
At the March term Mrs. William
l.. Anderson secured a divorce
from her husband. Mr.. Simpson
and Mrs. Anderson were shortly
afterwards married The case was
inside of six months, a
fact which adds to the complication
Of the matter, AT the time of ar
rest, Saturday, Mr.. Simpson was
just ready to start for the Bay.
There was not an engineer to be
had, so Deputy Sheriff Smith rode
with him Until the freight was met,
when Mr., Simpson took the freight
and returned to Albany, arriving
at 4 o'clock, while the other engi-
neer proceeded to the Bay. The
defendant gave bail at once, and
was released. Albany Democrat.
