LOCAL NOTES


wallis this week.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Logan were
up from Newport today.
Ben Wade came over from the
Valley last week and is stopping in
this county for time.
Hon. J. K. Weatherford was in
Toledo last Friday, being attorney
for Jones in the Jones-Hale suit.
Our young friend Charley Miller
has quite a neat photo tent at New
port. Charley does good work, and
being a rustler, deserves to succeed.
Quite . number Of Toledo people
feel under obligations to Charley
Miller for his kindness in turning
his photo tent over to them during
the storm on the 4th.
The excursion on the Volanta on
the 4th was only marred by the
bad weather. Capt. Davis aud his
assistants handled the crowd in
courteous manner, and had the
weather been pleasant the trip
would have been most enjoyable.
The contractors at the Elk City
stone quarry expect to complete
their government contract about
the first of August. They have ex-
posed some good building stone
and it is possible that the qnarry
will be operated for building stone
after the jetty contract is filled.
= Mrs. Geo. Rosebrooks, an old
time resident Of this place, but now
of Palo Alto, California, was a pas
senger on the Farallon on her last
trip up, and passed through here
yesterday morning enroute to Dai-
las, Polk county, where she goes
to see her aged mother, who is not
expected to long survive.
The Til!amook Headlight speaks
very slightingly Of the Siletz reser-
vation, and says that the land is no
good. When it is remembered
that the Siletz and Tillamook coun-
tries are as much alike as twin peas
in the same pod, and, in fact, part
Of the reservation used to lie in
Tillamook county, the Headlight 5
wall sounds a little like "scur
grapes"
The Mcdowell murder case,
which will be on trial at the COM
ing term of district court, gives
promise of being hard fought le-
gal contest. Both sides have en-
gagged lawyers Of state repute aud
great efforts will be put forth both
to acquit and convict. a great ar
ray of witnesses will be subpoenaed
and the indications at present are
that this trial will consume the
greater part Of the week.
Last Friday J. Fred Yates, as
referee, took the testimony for the
defendants in the case Of Jones vs..
Hale, ct al, or the Toledo Coal
cn-,0auv c0eo ''Nr ''.-..-r r--.
amnIeu MN.e NAntoA hale, i" 4"
Blain and II. c. Watson, of Albany,
and Coll Van Cleve, of this place.
Judging from the conflicting testi-
mony in this case, there will be no
small task for the court TO reach a
conclusion in the matter. Mr..
Yates simply takes the testimony
as referee, and does not report tc
the court as to the law or facts.
A charter for a G. A, r. post has
been received by the old soldiers OF
this place and vicinity, and as soon
as the proper officer arrives to mus
ter them in they will be duly or
ganized. II there be no other post
Of the name Of Lincoln" in the
state they expect to give that name
TO this post. Just an even dozen
names of old veterans will grace the
roll rs charter members, viz: ]. 5.

ly, 7. J. Ewing, J. N Arnold, J.
S. Copeland, A. 0. Krogstod, Joe
