1t would appear to a causual observer
that some OF the citizens of the rural
neighborhoods in Benton would have
sufficient public spirit and ambition to
send In items from their locality regu lar
ly each week, thus securing free adver-
tising for their vicinity, letting people
know that their neighborhood is progress
sive and attracting the snotlce of new
corners to their section. OF course it
means news for the Gazette, which is
only fair, but there are many other rea-
sons why good "batch" of news items
from a locality each week is of benefit.
The cou aty-and in fact all OREGON 8

CHARGED WITH cowARplcE.
Formal Charges Filed Against off, cers of III Fated Larchmcnt

Providence. R. l., Feb. 16.-By the identification last Thursday night oi the body of Bernard Hollingsworth, or Jamaica, colored waiter, the number of identified dead in the Larchmont horror numbered 55 men when the morgue opened Friday to the throngs of anxious friends and relatives of missing passengers and crew. The death of Samuel Lacombe of Manchester, N H., one of the 19 persons who reached shore after the Larchmont went down, brought the list of survivors down to IS.
