l.. NJ. Wilson, who lives near Odell,
has ON exhibition at the Little White
store samples of alfalfa of first and
second crops, the seed having been
sown last spring The first crop sam
pie measures 81 feet, and the second
crop sample 80 ct In length, both
of which retain the blue blossom,
closely resembling the famous blue
bells of Scotland. Mr.. Wilson has
only ten acres, but it will soon be de-
veloped to the point that 1t will take
care of him if he keeps 1t or bring
him good price if he should want to
sell.
A. King of the West Side called at
the Little White store last week. He
was out with a party of "show mes. !"

and that his visit here would always
be a pleasant recollection.
A large number of Oddities we're in
The Dalles last week as witnesses in

Hood River day at The Dalles. The
decision in the Divers case wss "no
cause for action. " The Black case is
not yet closed. We were informed by
one of the attorneys in open court
that the Divers case was the first case
of will contest in Wasco county.
J. p. Thompson of Hansen & Thomp-

lumber from Mr.. Thomson's mill in

shipped from Hood River on scow.
They expect to ship 1856, 600 feet. The
rough lumber will be used In their
box factory, while the clear lumber
will he dressed and sold for finishing
lumber
Mr.. Thomson is an enterprising
gentleman, and is counted as one Of
us, as he owns large ranch In Dukes
valley. He will remain here for sever
al days experimenting the shipping
of the lumber. Next year Mr.. Thomp-
son hopes to have box factory at his
mill in Dukes valley, which will save
the firm a large amount of freight
money, which at present must be paid
in the shipping of the lumber.

DUKES VALLEY.

The gentle rain has come again, and
they are welcome, after the warm,
dusty days of the past month There
is some second cutting of clover in
the shock and some that is still uncut,
but most of the hay is baled and in
the dry.
Oscar Gamer on pulled his hay press
in last Friday, after baling for Mr..
Steele. This about finishes up the
baling this season. There is more hay
in the valley than ever before, but no
one seems to worry about having to
hold it over, as there seems to be a
fair demand for good hay, and we
don t raise any other kind here.

WlLMARTH INSISTS.
That Sunday Mornings Fire Was
Incendiary.

I see no reason why should change
my first opinion that the Sunday morn
ing's fire was caused by incendiarism,'
said Chief Wilmarth this morning. My
latest examination of the premises
shows that there were no electric wires
in the vicinity of where the fire had
started. Gas was being used for ilIum-
mating purposes and the electric wiring
had been removed.
we have had several incendiary fires
here of late but the sum total during
the year does not amount to much. we
have really but very few incendiary
fires. 1t is matter to be credited to
the business section of the city that
there are very few incendiary fires in
that part of the city.
The men who were injured in Sun
day mornings fire are coming around
in good shape. Austin Baker, who had
some acid splashed into his eye from
the tank on the chemical engine at
headquarters station on his return
from the fire will suffer no permanent
injury though the accident was a very
painful one and threatened to be more
serious. Captain Knott of station No.
3 is still laid UP with his injured foot
The nail penetrated almost entirely
through. Lieut.. J. w. Washington has
been temporarily promoted as captain.
Silas Brown, regular substitute, is on
duty at the station.

TOPEKA HUNTERS ARRESTED.
E. S. Lee and r. A. May Failed to Get
Owners Permission.

Two warrants were sworn out this
morning by G. W. Slower, charging
Edwin S Lee, the druggist, and r. A.
May with hunting on his farm with
out permission. The warrants were
served by J. Judkins, who seems to
have a weakness for this class of
arrests, as he is the deputy sheriff who
brought in a bunch of a dozen duck
hunters last week on charge of
hunting on Sunday.
Mr.. Slower, who swore to the war
rants. is a farmer living a mile west
of the reform school, and said: 81
suppose that it looks small and mean
to have men arrested on charge like
this, but things have come to such a
pass with us that we are compelled to
take some such action. My neighbors
and myself have decided that we will
not permit anyone to hunt on our
farms, and will try to stop the indis-
criminate shooting in this manner. It
is positively unsafe for one to go into
his field to work unless he is protect
ed by boiler plate armor. There
have been a number of cows and
calves shot in my neighborhood, and
several bad runaways have been
caused by hunters frightening the
teams. Hardly day passes that some
of us are not sprinkled by careless
sportsmen, and it is only question
of short time until some one is bad
" injured if not killed"

Board of Health Insists on Schools
Observing Rules.

There is some chance of a legal con-
dict between the board of education
and the city board of health over the
the school children against infectious
diseases. The board Of health insists
that the school children be vaccinated
breaks out, while the board of educa-
ton insists that it is folly to force vac
cinaton upon every child while no
epidemic exists
The board of health has been trying
to enforce its demands upon the board
of education through the Instrumental
ity of correspondence but this does not
seem to be marked with success and
sterner methods will have to be resort
ed to. At the meeting of the board of
health Monday evening steps will be
taken to force the board of education
to comply. I'VE may quarantine the
schools or keep all the children off the
streets said City Physician Hogeboom
regarding the measures which may be
Fesorted to in securing vaccination
Judge T. e. Carver said: THE
board viii not require children to be
vaccinated so long as there is no small
pox in the city. The board of educa-
ton IS equally supreme with the city
council in the matter"
At the present time the city is nearly
immune from infectious diseases There
are but eight cases of diphtheria ex-
listing though there is quite an epidemic
of diDhtheria over the state, especially
so in Leavenworth At one time there
were eighteen cases; the total number
for the past month was forty.

Who Owns T7ais Property?

The time of the district court was
taken up this morning with the trial
of Parker VS.. Wood. The defendant
in the case is ex-A1ayor Albert Parker
while the defendant is Mitchell Wood,
an old colored man of the vintage Of
the forties. Wood has lived in the
house which he now occupies for the
past twenty-five or thirty years and
claims that he owns it. Mr. Parker
has a deed for the proptrty signed by
the old couple and it is to set aside
this deed that the suit has been
brought. Mr.. Parker lent the old cou-
pie some money years ago and as it
was never paid they gave him deed
for the property. The giving Of the
deed seems to have slipped their mind
if the contention of the defendant is
true, for they each are sure that they
never signed any papers of this char
acter- The case went to the jury short
" after noon.
