Frank Whitneyis back from his sum-

the assessment work. The district
there consists of section of country

numerous veins from inches to so
feet in width, and all of a character
easily worked. The district is about
85 miles south of Thunder Mount

this season and no less than 100 men
investigated the country, and at
least $50 locations have been made.

Heavy Registration.

Contrary to all expectations the
registration this year is heavier than
two years ago. AT this time over
1900 votes have been registered in
the three Weiser precincts and will
probably reach 400 by 9 o'clock
this evening when registration closes.
This is an increase of near 20 per
cent over that of two years ago.
This shows a large increase in popu-
lation. If this was presidential
year, the registration would have
been still larger as people take more
interest in voting those years.

to the development of this locality, is
Of more direct Importance than, this,
and it Is simply doubling our agri
cultural resources, andsconsequently
adding porportionally to our business
requirements. One point Of most
pressing interest to Weiser's advance
ment is the immediate establishment
of means of cheap and available
com munication with our Oregon ad
junct and being divided by a river
less than thousand feet wide, there
should be no serious difficulty. The
situation has long demanded the
construction of bridge. With that
done, the annexation of the new do
nam would be complete. This en-
.terprise is Of most vital Importance
to Weiser and is in fact as valuable
as was the construction years ago,
of the Galloway canal that has
proved the developer of the magnl-
ficent farms that are now surround
ing and tributary to our growing
city.

for carrying passengers during the

TRIBUTE TO JUDGE HANSELL.
Grand Jurors Present Him With
Testimonial of Esteem.

Grand Jurors Present Him With
Testimonial of Esteem.
valdosta, Ga, June 2s.-An unusual.
but appropriate and very touching in
e;dent occurred at the Court House
this morning just before IL o'clock
when the grand jury came in to read
its presentments and to be adjourned
by Judge Hansell. After hearing the
report of the jurors. which were APP
proved by the venerable Judge Han
sell. Judge W. H. Griffin, of the City
Court, on behalf of the grand jury.
arose and presented Judge Hansell
with an elegant silver fruit bowl which
had been bought for him as a token OF
the esteem in which he is held by the
members of the grand jury.
In Judge Griffin's presentation
speech. he referred to the long life
upon the bench and of the exaulted
character of the venerable Jurist, de-
claring that 1t had been an inspiration
not only to those who now live, but
had made a deep impression upon gen.
erations that have passed away as well
as upon the generations to come. Judge
Hansell was evidently taken by sur
prise and was deeply affected by the
token of esteem. He replied in a short
and very touching speech referring to
his long services upon the bench, of
how he had had to pass upon conten-
tions between the people, always bring
ing disappointment to one side, and
that it was very gratifying to him to
know that no more unpleasant feeling
existed than had been manifested. He
said shat his relations to the people
had been most tender and that their
kindness to him would be treasured to
the end of his days as one of his
sweetest memories.
Judge Hansell has served upon the
bench for fifty-four years, with the
exception of four years during Bull
loch's administration as Governor. His
career upon the bench ends with his
present term and his last court here
before his retirement will be next No
vember. Many of the jurors did not
know that they would ever serve I'M
der him again, so they decided to give
him their testimonial of esteem at to-
days closing session of court.
The jurors have spent the past two
days in going over the books of the
various county officers, all of which
they found correctly kept. except the
books of justices of the peace. They
recommended that future examinations
of the books of the justices be made
more rigid and that every effort be
made to get the justices to keep their
books correctly.
