Makes Eccentric Provision.

Jonathan Hedges, a wealthy old far
mer of England, died nine months ago.
He made a codicil in his will to the
effect that one of his wealth could
be divided among his heirs until after
the real estate had been converted
into cash, SO that there could be no
possible dispute over a fair and equal
division of the fortune.
Mrs. /. Bogard, wife of a poor team
ster here, received the good news to-
day. She at once quit working at the
washtub and spent the remainder of
the day in telling her friends of the
good fortune that had befallen her.
According to advices received by
her, relatives in England are now ar
ranging for a quick sale of the land
so that the fortune can be divided at
once.

Road-Ready Coming Season.

The Chinook Observer just at hand
says:
"There have been additions to the
forces at work on the Columbia VAL
ley Railroad this week. The engi-
neer corps now number about IA men
and John Berg brought down from
Portland on Wednesday 25 more hands
to be set to work on the grade between
Ilwaco Junction and the Wallicut riv-
er. He will put on so more as soon
as he can get them. 4 camp will be
established on w. G. Browns place on
Chinook river, and located in a barge
on one of the sloughs. A grade .18
inches above the tide fats will be con-
structed and rails placed upon 1t to
run cars from cuts along the line with
dirt to fill in the tidelands At the
commencement of construction it did
not appear that the work was OF suf-
ficient magnitude to complete the
line from above Point Ellice to North
Beach in time to attend to the beach
traffic this summer, but the exertions
of the contractors within the past few
days admits Of the conclusion that
no expense will be spared to have the
line in operation to accommodate the
vast business expected this summer"
