Judge F. A Chenoweth is in attend
ance at Corvallis on the circuit court
for Benton county. He now lives
quietly on his farm in Kings valley,
and though he is Is years of age, and
his hair and beard as white as the
driven snow, the Times says that he
has within a few weeks split thous-
and rails, hauled them out of the
mountains and added them to the
fences on his farm. Until 1882 the
territory of Oregon included in it's
borders the region that is now the
state of Washington. It was Judge
Chenoweth who moved OH the floor of
the territorial legislature of that year
that what is now Washington be set
apart separate territory. The oppo-
sition to the measure wds led by the
late J. c. Avery, but the measure was
carried and Judge Cheneweth was
shortly after appointed judge of the
territory thus created. In the winter
of 1854 he was speaker of Washington S
first legislature, where he was init
mate1y associated with @. B. Mcclellan
subsequently commanderin-chief of
the Union army, then an engineer on
the staff of Wa shington's first COVER
nor, I. l. Stevens. In 1862 Judge
Chenoweth returned to Corvallis, and
in 1866 served as speaker of the house
of representatives.-O regonian.
No CHINESE WANTED.-A couple of
Cinnamon struck Shelton last week,
looking for a business opening for a
washhouse laundry. Cinnamon don't
go in Shelton, ever since the exodus
that winter day about ten years ago,
when a gang, with Ben Simmons and
his rusty howitzer, at their head, urged
a half dozen cinnamon in the logging
camps about Shelton, to hunt for a
healthier cline. They left and not
more than one heather year steps
on Our streets, and he is generally en-
route for other places. Paddy was
evidently set on the last two migrants,
for they we're gone next day, and
white people will continue to do our
1aunder work. AS a Montesano Chi
namen said the other day "Dlenoclats
and Cinnamon catche hi these days"
OYSTER TRADE.-Jos. y. Wa1drip,
an extensive oyster shipper, was in
Wednesday and added his complaint
because the authorities failed to fur
nish a few barrels of the eastern oys-
tiers for planting and trial on Oyster
Bay, but says the oystermen intend to
make the experiment themselves
before long. He reports the oyster
trade good, and impossible to secure
enough for shipment. The price paid
for gathering is now $3.50 per sack,
but will probably raise in few days.
The oystermen now operating on this
bay haye paid several thousand dol
lars for help since the season began,
and are helping out trade considerably.

From the preponderance of signs
the Tacoma Ledger decides that a
cold winter is in prospect. 1t certain
ly looks that way, and we should ad-
wise the laying in of a good store OF
wood to meet the cold weather. Plants
and shrubs should be protected if they
are wanted for the spring.
The best anodyne and expectorant
for cure of colds, coughs, la grippe

Worlds Fair.
