SAW THE LAVA BEDS
Judge Burnett and Party Find Many
Relics on Famous MOdOc
Battlefield.

Last Friday evening Judge Burnett
of Salem, who has been holding court
in klamath Falls, in the absence Of
Judge Benson. left in company with
Capt. o. @. Applegate and Attorneys
Mills and Rutenic for a visit to the
lava beds, historic since the Modoc
war. The Judge and party went to
Merrill by buggy, Mr. Tedford making
the run to the landing in White Lake
with his gasoline launch in four and
three quarter hours, from where it
was transferred the same evening by
wagon into Lost river, at Merrill.
Early Saturday morning the party
started in the launch from Merrill,
arriving at the lava beds before 8
a. m. The rest Of the day, and half
OF the next, were spent in going over
Capt. Jacks stronghold, the scene Of
the massacre of the peace commits
sioners, etc. A few relics were found,
such as empty cartridge shells, brass
buttons. etc., also rattler with seven
buttons. Fortunately the rattle snake
was made innocuous before it could
bite any member Of the party, since
the usual antidote for snake bite had
been entirely overlooked by the COM
missary. Judge Burnett and party
were deeply interested in the natural
defenses Of the stronghold, consisting
of crevises in the rock, caravans and
boulders, to which the combatants
had added artificial work in the nature
of hundreds of small forts and stone
breast-works. Capt. Applegate, who
is one of the few survivors Of the war,
was able to point out scenes of
skirmishes and locations Of troops,
spiced with personal anecdotes.
Judge Burnett enjoyed the trip
greatly, and expressed his admiration
for the natural defenses into which
the warning Modocs had withdrawn,
defenses equal to the best made by the
ablest engineers, and he stated that
the Indians could have held out there
indefinitely had food, water and am
munition been available that no army
could have dislodged the forces under
Captain Jack had supplies Of all
kinds been at the hands Of the
Indians.-Klamath Falls Express.

Welded IN WEST SALEM
Mr. and Mrs. j. E. Fredrickson VIII

At 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening,
June 81, amid relatives and intimate

White, occurred a very pretty wedding,
when their youngest daughter, Ruth
Lillian, became the wife of j. Edward

Errett Of the First Christian church
Of Salem officiating.
AS the strains Of the wedding march
played by Miss Jessie Smith floated
through the rooms the bride and groom
entered the parlor, attended by Miss
Neva Smith and Elmer Bales, and
under bower Of ferns and roses were
united as one. The bride was beauti-
fully dressed in white, as was also the
bridesmaid, and each carried a large
boquet Of roses. Mr.. and Mrs Fred
rickson were the recipients of many
beautiful and useful gifts, showing
the esteem in which the young couple
are held.
The bride will be missed by her
many friends in West Salem, but all
join in wishing the couple all happi-
ness in their new home In Falls
City. Salem Statesman.

Cannot Accept Scholarship.

Clay Shepard, Of Zena, has been
awarded a scholarship at Harvard,
but has been obliged by illness to de-
cline it. He was seized with typhoid
fever in February and is still in bad
health. The Salem Journal says Of
his case. "Clay Shepard, a son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. r. Shepard, who has
been quite sick with relapse Of
typhoid fever for some weeks, is i'm
proving rapidly. 1t is matter OF
regret that he was taken sick, for he
was awarded recently scholarship
at Harvard University, which he will
not be able to attend on account OF

Aged Indian Couple.

A dispatch from McMinnville in
Sundays Oregonian says "Yamhill
Joe' and Mary Ann Warning, two
aged Grande Ronde Indians, were
married yesterday at the Courthouse.
There ages were given as 80 and 65
respectively, but old residents say
they are much older. The wedding
was unique inasmuch as an interpre-
ter was necessary, for Mrs. Warning
could not speak English. The parties
were accompanied by several Indians
as guests extraordinary. This is
Yamhill Joe's second marriage, and
the third for Mrs. Yamhill Joe.

HAS REMARKABLE SIGHT
Rev. Joseph HOberg, 7S Years Old,
Writes 1000 Words on
Postal Card.

Perhaps the most picturesque per-
sonage who attended the reunion Of
the Kelly Clan Saturday at the home
OF DR.. Richmond Kelly, in Portland,
was the venerable Rev. Joseph Hoberg,
who is rs years young-not rs years
old. Over so years ago Rev. MIR.
Hoberg was IN charge of the East
Portland Methodist circuit, which took
in Milwaukee, East Portland and
Powell Valley.
At the reunion he read his address,
comprising 1000 words, written by
himself on the face of single postal
card. Although the writing is very
fine, every letter is clearly formed and
distinct. The writing does not appear
to have been the work of a man 70
years old, SO clear and symmetrical
are the letters formed.
Father" Hoberg has a Sunday
class at McMinnville. Recently he
presented the members of the class
with a small card containing the
"Lord's Prayer" and the ten COM
mandments. The Lords Prayer" was
written within the space Of quarter
and the ten commandments was COM
pressed in the space of half-dollar,
and so fine was the writing thatit re-
quired sharp eyes to read it.
Although ''Father" Hoberg was one
Of the oldest men on the ground at the
clan meeting, he waved his hand and
declared, "Why, there are no old
people here. Mondays Oregonian,

TAKE OATH OF OFFICE
Sheriff and Commissioner Are Newly
Elected-Other Officers Sue
Ceed Themselves.

John NJ. Grant is now Sheriff of
Polk County, and John B. Teal is
again member of the Commissioners
Court. These were the only changes
in the county offices made by the
voters at the recent election. The
newly elected officers were sworn in
by County Clerk E. M. Smith, Mon
day morning, and Immediately entered
upon the discharge Of their duties.
Very little change will be noticed in
the courthouse ''gang," as Clerk E. M.
Smith, Treasurer J. E. Beezley, Sur
yeyor John P. VanOrsdel and Coroner
R. L. Chapman were reelected, and
Judge Ed F. Coad, Commissioner
William Riddell, Assessor @. S.
Graves and School Superintendent
G, L. Starr are hold-overs.
Sheriff Grant and his deputy, E. V.
Dalton, are the only Democrats in
the courthouse, the county having
gone Republican on all the other
offices by several hundred majority.
The new Sheriff and his deputy have
entered upon their new duties like
veterans, both having had valuable
experience as officers in the past. The
sheriff's office is in competent hands,
and the citizens of Polk county may
rest assured that they will at all times
receive the most courteous and obllg-
ing treatment at the hands of Mr.
Grant and Mr.. Dalton.
Polk county never had more faith
full or obliging public servants than
the men who have filled the respective
Offices for the last two years, and II
will be a source of pleasure and salts
faction to every citizen to know that
these men are to be continued in Office
for two years more. The county,s
business has been prudently managed
every cent of public money has been
honestly accounted for, and all per
sons having business at the court
bonse have been accorded courteous
treatment. With such men in Office
Polk county cannot do otherwise than
grow and prosper.

Conrad Krebs, president of the
Krebs Hop Company, and one Of the

that judging from the present outlook
Oregon will have one of the finest and
best hop crops ever raised in the state.
The vines have made a vigorous and
healthy growth. They are, practically
speaking, free from vermin, and If
present conditions continue, a large
crop will result. Reports from Cali
fornia and Washington concerning
crop prospects are exceptionally favor

| 1t is the hope of the o. R. & N
company to open the Pilot Rock
branch on July Fourth, 1907, with a
monster celebration at Pilot Rock in
honor of the occasion.
General Superintendent NJ. j. Buck
ley of the o, r. & N, who was in the
city Saturday, after having superin-
tended the repairs to the track at
North Fork, expressed the hope that
the Pilot Rock branch might be for
mally opened to traffic and the first
train run on July 4. Every effort of
the company will be made with this
end in view, and II the grade can
possibly be completed and the
track laid by that time, it is the in
tention of the company to take an ac-
tive part in preparing a program for
a celebration at Pilot Rock next year.
The people of Pendleton and the
surrounding country will be delighted
to assist in such a program and will
lend the company and people of Pilot
Rock their heartiest cooperation.
The special train---the first regular
train to be run over the Pilot Rock
branch will have to be of more than
ordinary capacity to carry the crowds
that would go from this city and the
surrounding country to such. a ,cele-
bration and not only the city limits
of Pilot Rock but number of farms
on Birch creek tributary to the town
will have to be used in receiving the
visitors on that day, .7. .+n.
