Judge Kelsay came over yester-
day to look up some of the cases in
the district court in which he is
attorney. The Judge is looking
quite we'll for man of his years,
but we are sorry to see him take to
wearing tall plug hat at this sea-
son of the year.
Judge Kelsay, the Nestor of the
Benton county bar, completed his
fiftieth year in the practice of law
on the 9th inst, having been admit

He says that he has lost none of his
mental or physical vitality, and his
hosts of friends all stand ready to
testify that the swiftly passing years
have robbed the Judge of none of
his gallantry toward the fair sex.

VS.. Job, Job and Davis will be

the county and should not be al

them a fair trial, and if they are
guilty send them to the penitentiary,
aud if they are not then acquit
them.

Jack and Ernest Burrows. There
may be one or two more go with
them when the time comes. Here's
good luck to you boys, one and all.

Next Thursday, the 25th, atnoon
the Siletz teserve will be opened
for settlement. 1t is not expected
that there will be any great rush to
file on these lands, as it will take
some time for prospective settlers
to locate and learn the numbers of
their prospective homesteads. But
we think, however, that the settle
ment will be continuous and steady
and in the course of a year will add
many new settlers to the popula-
ton of Lincoln county. There are
many people now camping in va
