"Everything is at a standstill as re-
CARDS the law courts Of Portland"
says a prominent lawyer of that CITY.
This state of affairs is brought
about By the recent fire. The munich
pal court is the only one doing any
work. In the case of the destruction
of wills and other public papers no
law exists that permits the recorder

special law had to be passed permit
ting copies of wills to be filed. Now We
shall have to wait till Legislature meets
and then pass special law as we did
before. There's not a scrap of paper

beneath which, if he will dig into the
wood. he will find the tip end Of a
| hammock hook, several inches in
| length, once in use but now entirely
encased in the wood and out of sight
1t is not likely that that hammock

museum, but it may nevertheless play
a part in the moral history of the

it is buried. probably no one Of this
generation will ever see it, but very
likely some time, in the course Of ma
tural events, when the tree completes
its term of years. some one VIII dlS-
