| For third time, ]. NJ. Nolan was the
successful bidder for furnishing the o. A.
| c. students with uniforms. Bids and sam
| pies of cloth frem various firms and mills
were examined by the executive committee
| of the board of regents last Saturday at
| Albany, and as result of their delibera-
| tion, Mr.. Nolan was awarded the con-
tract for the ensuing year. This shows
push and enterprise on the part of the sue
cessful bidder, and indicates that he is fully
up to date in his line of trade. The cloth
used in the manufacture of these uniforms
is to be furnished by the Thomas Kay
wooden mills of Salem.
The body of A rthur Langell, who was

terment beside his wife. Mr.. Langell was

and highly respected throughout the state.
He settled in Klamath county in 1S49. At

3, 600 acres of land and considerable prop
erty in Seattle, all valued at 100000 In
1882 he was married to Margaret Knots, of
this county. Six years later son was born
to them, at which time the mother died.
Recently the boys father made will, in
which VIM. Knots was named as executor
and the boy as sole legatee. Mr.. Knots
left for Klamath Monday to assume the
duties of executor of the estate.
George Waggoner, who returned from
tho Belfontaine neighborhood- last Saturday,
tells of an interesting bear hunt that was
attended with rather serious results. The
hunters wesr Arthur Hawley AMI Mr..
Thompson, foreman of the Excelsior prune
farm, who were accompanied by several
dogs. These were started on the trail and
after long chase, they succeeded in sur.
rounding Mr.. Bruin. AS the dogs kept in
range, it was difficult matter to get good
shot at him for fear of injnring one of the
dogs, but after each of the hunters had
made five or six shots they were rewarded
for their pains by seeing the bear drop to
the ground, corpse. On arriving at the
scene, however, it was discovered that
during the fusilade, one of the best dogs
had also been killed, notwithstanding the
sportsmen's efforts to avoid such result.
Assessor Alexander has completed the
roll for this year, and it goes into the hands
of the board of equalization next Monday.
This board is composed of Clerk Hunter,
County Judge Hufford and Assessor Alex
ander Its object is to adjust grievances as
to assessments, and anyone who thinks he
has been assessed too high can come before
the board and have the matter looked into.
Mr.. Alexander is anxious that everyone who
can, should come in and satisfy themselves
that no errors have been made. Notice of
this meeting has been given IN the local pa
pers for several weeks. The county court
is not disposed to make any change in as.
sessmen1s after the meeting of this board.
1t was formerly customary in this county
for people to disregard the meetings of the
board, and when they seame to. pay THEN
taxes and found some supposed mistake
they would get the court to change it. The
court is no longer disposed to grant any
such concessions and persons who fail to ap-
pear next week and have their grievances
adjusted, must forever hold their peace.
