Epitaphs Tell Story

The following tribute to the memory
OF those that pass to the beyond through
their fool acts is being passed around
the press:
"Take walk through any of the Gem.
eteries throughout the country and you
will believe with us that fools are slow
ly but surely passing away, says an ex-
change. With silent tread you pass
the last resting place OF the individual
who blew into au empty gun. The
modest tombstone of the girl who light
ed the fire with kerosene and the grass
covered mound that covers the mortal
remains of the boy who took the mule
by the tail is near by. The tall monu-
ment is for the man who jumped off
the cars to save 10 rod walk Side by
side lie the remains of the intellectual
idiot that rode nine miles in 10 minutes
and the etherenl creature who ALWAYS
kept her corset laced to the last hole.
Here reposes the young doctor who
took dose OF his own medicine, and
the old fool who married young wife.
Over yonder in the northwest corner
where the gentle breezes sigh over the
weeping willow lies the fellow who told
his mother in-law she lied. Near by
his grave, reposes the mouldering dust
OF the editor who starved to death try
ing to ruu a first-class paper in u sec
ond-class town. Further on lies the
boy who went swimming too eally in
the season, and the lady who kept
strychnine and baking powder side by
side in the cupboard. And that un.
marked, weed-grown grave In the dark,
damp, dismal corner, by itself, is the
dreary resting place of the deadest of
them all the man who didn't adver-
tise.''

WHEN YOU REST
FROM YOUR REST

When your brain is dull and weary and
the world seems sad and dreary,
1t is time to seek surcease from toll and
care;
1t is then you grasp the notion OF a
camp down by the ocean,
Bathed in sunshine and caressed by
salt sea air.
There with genial friends to cheer
you-not a nd-disturber near YOU
You may while away the golden-t tinted
hours;
While your weary frame reposes on a
couch not made of roses
You regain your erstwhile weak and
waning powers.
All too soon the eutings ended and the
homeward way you've wended
To take up the white mans burden
cheerfully.
All, the joy and the beauty of the home
and every duty
When you're resting from your rest
down by the sea

Strawberries

Half dozen large, luscious ripe
strawberries We're displayed at the Ire
land grocery store, Friday and Satur-
day. They were OF the Magoon variety
and came from the garden of Press
Walten, below town. And it is almost
the first of September in Oregon. Cor
Wallis Gazette.
Not mere "half a dozen," but a
goodly supply of fine strawberris were
placed on the Toledo market Tuesday
by Adam Rae, the well-known market
gardener residing on the Yaquina above
Toledo. The September crop OF straw
berries in this vicinity promises to be
large aud of superior quality.

Yaduina to Newport.

Manager Talbot of the Corvallis &
Eastern is given as authority for the
statement that this road will be ex.
tended from Yaquina to Newport and
will be completed before the opening of
the summer season next year. This
will greatly increase the popularity Of
Newport and Nye Creek as a resort.
The large increase in pleasure. seek
ers at this point during the past two
years has taxed the capacity of the
boats connecting with the trains at Va
quina and practically forced the extern
sion of the c & E. to the Resort City.

John G. Fletcher's Homestead

After living with his family on a
homestead on part of what was the ST.
letz Indian Reservation for the five
years prescribed by law, the proofs of
ownership offered by John G. Fletcher
were refused by the general land Office
because the survey OF 120 acres of it
had not been approved, aud the land
was declared not subject to entry. The
remaining 40 acres had been surveyed
regularly and the survey accepted, but
Fletcher was not allowed to prove his
title to them because he had built his
house on the ground included in the
l2O acres not subject to entry.
Because of this the homestead is of
no value 10 the estate of Fletcher, who
has since died. The appraisers of the
estate ID. @. Starr, Jaspar Agee and
John Deakins-fled report in the
county court this morning showing that
the property of the estate is worth ST.
299 The homestead is mentioned in
the report, but it is appraised as having
no value to the estate. Attorneys for
the estate declare that Fletcher's fam
lily will be able to prove up on the
homestead if they continue to live on
1t until the survey is approved by the
general land ofIice.-Portland Tele-
gram, Aug. 20.
