A Decision About Onions

Mobile Register.
 A man in Indianapolis may live on cooked onions, if he pleases, but he must contriye to keep the odor of the onions on his own premises. The appellate court has forbidden the cooking of onions alto gether in case the smell thereof annoys the neighbors. If the court will now en- join those who carry onions around with them on their breath, all will be perfect ly lovely in the city of the Indians.

MANY NOTED SPEAKERS
willamette Valley Chatauqua Has
Prepared Fine Program.

The Willamette Valley Chautau
qua Association has issued it's tenth
annual program. From the very
small beginning in the way of g
session held in 1894, the Chautauqua
has grown until it covers a period
of thirteen days and draws talent
for its platform from all parts oi
the country. From an examination
of the present program it would
seem from the rich array of talent
scheduled to appear, that the 1908
session bids fair to eclipse any OF
its predecessors. Notwithstanding
the length of the Chautauqua for
this year, hardly day passes with
out the appearance of some star
attraction.
Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver,
the big Iowa senator, lectures on
the first evening, July 18th on the

Country" and will be introduced
by Senator John H. Mitchell. On

Clara B. Burdette, will appear on
the program. Burdette will deliver
his world famous lecture "The Rise
and Fall of the Mustache" on the
evening of July 18th, lecturing the
second time on the next day, July
18th in the afternoon, "Rainbow
Chasers," and "Good Medicine" on
the afternoon of July 22nd.
"Woman's Day" will be July 81.
Mrs. Clara B. Burdette, who is first
vice president of the National
Federation of Women's Clubs, will

Mr., and Mrs. John G.. Toner,
pioneers Of '52 from st. Louis, Mo-,
have for many years past lived on
their fine farm near Lincoln. They
first settled on Abernathy creek,
back of Oregon City. Mr., Toner
was a steamboat engineer for over
thirty years, having served eight
years in that capacity on the Ohio
and Mississippi from IA to '52,
and from that time until rs on
steamboats, on the Willamette and
Columbia rivers. Atdifferent times
he served the Lot Whitcomb, the
Jennie Clark, ]. G. Ainsworth and
many others. Mr.. Toner is in
mixed farming. He keeps 150
head of grade Cotswolds and
Merinos, and thinks sheep are the
best paying stock that can be kept
on farm. Their last clip averaged
over 8 pounds, bringing $3.50 each
for their wool. This and the la;ge
number of lambs raised he counts
as a clear profit of four hundred
dollars. Mr.. Toner is 81 years old
and the companion Of his joys and
sorrows perhaps not much less, yet
they are much more hale and
hearty than most people of their
age. They celebrated their golden
wedding four yearsago Northwest
Pacific Farmer.
