There was quite an enjoyable
social at the Congregational church
Saturday evening. Pumpkin pie
"like your mother made" was one
of the features of the evening.
The Fireman's dance Saturday
evening was quite well attended.
A number of young people came
over from Albany among whom
were Earl and Marvin Brandeberry.
A good time is generally reported.
A four-year-old girl wandered
away from home, near the Bonanza
mine, recently and was lost In the
mountains for 48 hours. When re-
covered she was quite unharmed.
She told of having seen a big black
dog with two puppies, which she
tried to catch, 'but they ran away
after their mamma" The "deg"
was most likely a bear and
the puppies" were her cubs.-Ex.
E. R. Bryson, R. E. Gibson, Pun
derson Avery and Jesse Brown re-
turned late Saturday night from
their bear hunt. They spent sew.
eral days on Grass Mountain, be.
tween the headwaters of the Siletz
and the Luckiamute. They sue
ceeded in getting three deer but no
bear. Mr.. Brown has some very
fine bear dogs, and although they
took the scent of a bear several
times, the trail was too cold and
after several hours thej had to be
called off.
In the case of Arthur Kelly, the
1l-year-old boy who wilfully killed
his father in Umatilla county on
the 29th of August, sentence has
been passed which ,places the lad
in the reform school, at Salem, un.
til he reaches the age of 21 years.
He will remain there for the next
ten year., unless released on the
advice of the superintendent. He
is a bright appearing little fellow,
rather small for his age, and does
not appear to realize the serious
of the crime he has committed. He
arrived at the Reform School Fri
day. The question of what dispo.
sition would be made of this case
has occupied the minds of many of
our local people.
The Independence West Side
seems TO be dealing largely in an.
tiquities of late and reports on a
book owned by w. G.. Cressy in
which the letter "f' is used where,
at the present day, nothing but an
IS" will answer. The book was
published in l743 by E. Fisher and
is entitled the Marrow of Modern
Divinity, touching the Covenant of
Work and the CoYenant of Grace;
with their Use and End, both in
the time of the Old Testament and
in the time of the New" The book
was found among the effects of
Bard P. Paige, Dembarton, N. H.
The house in which it was found |
had been built over 100 years. The
book was gift from Mrs. Paige to
Mr.. Cresay in 1891.
In many sections of the state
farmers are turning their attention |
to the cultivation of something be-
sides wheat. Among other things
that will be tried may be mentioned
tobacco. At different points ia |
Oregon men are going to expert
ment with the culture of this weed,
and some of them are claiming
from their experience in tobacco
growing centers that there is no
reason why tobacco suitable for the
of a good cigar cannot
be grown here. Diversified indus
try is what is needed to develop
this or any other country and it is
hoped that all success may at
tend those who enter the field of to-
bacco culture. 1t can be grown in
Benton If In any county In Oregon.
