Busy Scene at New sawmlII.

The 4O0-horse-power engine at the
new Cone sawmill was placed in posi-
ton this week. 1t is a massive piece
of machinery, the fly-wheel alone
over 60OO pounds. The
boilers have been set and the machin-
lists are now putting in the shafting,
saws, live-rollers, and other machi-
merry. Each freight train brings new

being the latest to arrive. The haul

gin this week, and the mill will be
ready for operation soon after the

Congratulations to the editors of
The Courier, the new monthly journal
published by the students of the Ore
gon State Normal School. The Courier
is bright and entertaining from cover

published on the Pacific Coast. May
it live long and prosper.

Wish the Salem Journal would quit
using that bold-face type in its edi-
torials. 1t spoils the appearance Of
the paper and distracts attention from
the subject under discussion. Colonel
Hofer is a vigorous writer, and brings
out his points so clearly and forcibly
that no black-type emphasis is needed.

By Hugh Ayres, age IL, Dallas.
If you want good thing, and still
have some change,
Just go to Guy Bros and buy a
Charter Oak range.
They heat very quick and don't take
much wood,
And the way they bake things will
make you feel good.
For looks they are great, and don't
you forget it;
If you buy a Charter Oak range,
you will never regret it,
The price is all right, and as cheap
as the rest,
And of all ranges made, Charter Oak
is the best.
Now don't miss the place for they're
not kept by others
The firm is a good one and is called
Guy Brothers.

PRIZES ARE AWARDED
Miss Rita Alderman, of Falls City
Writes Best Poem Advertising
"Charter Oak" Ranges.

Miss Rita Alderman the 16-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Alderman, OF Falls City, will receive
a Christmas present of $5 from Guy
Brothers, the Dallas hardware hrm'
for the best poem advertising "Charter
Oak" ranges. The second cash prize
of $3.50 will be divided equally be-
tween Merle Hall and Hugh Ayres, OF
Dallas.
The board of judges, consisting OF
Mrs. F. H. Morrison, School Superin-
tendent Starr and Police Judge
Stouffer, met Wednesday evening,
and after a careful examination OF
the numerous poems submitted in the
contest, awarded the prizes to the
above-nam contestants.
The contest has aroused much
interest and enthusiasm among the
school children of Polk county, and
many contributions have been sent in.
While none of the poems submitted
are of a high order of literary excel
lence, all are interesting, when the
ages of the contestants are taken into
consideration. The prize poems are
as follows:
FIRST PRIZE.
Rita L. Alderman, age 16, Falls City.
If you should happen to want a
change,
Guy Brothers will sell you Charter
Oak range;
Twill save your wood and bake your
cake,
And cook very nicely whatever you
make.
No fires to build at morn or eve;
For, of course, that's pleasure your
wife will receive;
So up she will get, fire to start,
In the Charter Oak range, the pride
of her heart.
Boys, when you're hunting a present
for sisters or mothers,
Don't forget to look in at the wondrous
Guy Brothers,
Get one of the ranges they have at
their store,
And you won't know the meaning of
grief any more.
SECOND PRIZE.
By Merle Hall, age 10, Dallas.
The other day I went down
To where the stoves are in this town.
The Charter Oak is one to last,
AS proved by usage in the past
They are warranted to boil, roast and
fry,
And to perfection bake pumpkin pie. |
They are trimmed with nickel so very
fine.
That makes them like a diamond |
shine
The oven of such perfect size
At Fairs, it always takes the prize.
Guy Brothers are the merchants, too,
Who treat their customers with all
cOurtnSV due

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-John Hoch
known as ~"Blucbrard' Koch, who IS
charged with being the worlds cham
pion bigamist, has been identified at
police headquarters here by Mrs. Mary
Hendricks of Chicago as She men wha.
under thesname of Jacob SchG.), mar
ried her on Jan. =, 1904, and deserted
Ter three weeks afterward. When
Hoch left her Mrs. Hendricks swears
that be took away with him 500 Of her
savings.
Hoch recognized the woman who nj
lcecs that lie deceived her. He said,
MARY, / am sorry" and before he
could say any more be was hustled off
to a cell,
According to the police. Mrs. Hen
Tricks is one of t~hirty-cue women
whom Hoch las duped in The past ten
" twelve years. And Il all that the. po>
lice say be true they have Hoch in a
tight box, as the following dispatch
from Chicaeo would indicate.
Police Inspector Shippy has ad-
anccl The theory that possibly the one
unidentified body among the victims of
he ~Irdquois tbeater fire was that Of
ne OF the wives Of John Hoch. The in
rcctor's suspicion is due to circum-
. 1nces connected with an attempt that
as made by telephone to obtain the
vOman's jewclry from an undertaken.
when Hoch arrives here said In
pcctor Shippy, I intend to question
him about this matter and also con-
crning a young woman whose body
vas washed ashore at South Haven
Mich. last summer"
+. Woninger, a German, told the po-
lice OF Chicago that in 1888 he came
to America from Wurtemburg on the
same steamer as Hoch. On the ship
was a young woman whom Hoch mar
ricd as soon as the vessel reached New
York. She was said to have some
money. Two months later he met
Hoch, who told him, with apparent
grief. that his bride was dead. The
Identification Of Hoch rs the husband
Of Mrs. Martha Hoch of Pasadena,
has seemingly established addi-
tional evidence Of bigamy.
