County Clerk Kelsay is nothing if not
kind hearted, and tears stood in his eyes
this morning which almost hid from
view a callow youth of about l8 summers
and blushing maid of sweet IL, who
besought him to grant them the small
document which would grant them the
license to become one. However. they
hailed from the wrong state, and Kelsay
dared not brave the laws of Oregon and

The steamer Haesalo, familiar craft
to everybody along the river, has now
put on her best 'bib and tucker" aud
rides over all the other swells at a gait
which makes their heads swim. 1t can

yesterday morning to test the machinery
and one who was aboard informs us that
one squirt of two and a half miles she
made at the rate of thirty -one miles an
hour.

w. T Wright, who is in today from
his farm near Nansene, tells of a terror
of wind storm which visited his place
four weeks ago Sunday, the date of the
dust storm throughout this sec
ton. He says that it blew southwest
in path about twenty or twenty five

Wright's place, although he has not
