The era Of small farming tracts
seems to be upon US in Polk county
and for that fact we should congratu-
late ourselves, for it means also an
era Of increasing prosperity in the
county. In score of places holders
Of large farms have had them plated
out into tracts Of from 10 to 40 acres
and are Offering them for sale. The
result will be an increase in immigra-
tion, a more thorough and scientific
cultivation Of the land, development
Of new industries and in tho near
future, a condition Of prosperity in
Polk county that will make all past
records pale into insignificance.

With the jails Of fMultnomah county
crowded with murd erers trying by
some means usually an insanity plea
to cheat the gallows, comes yet another,
J. A. Finch, and begins to show symp-
toms Of the prevailing mania whose
cloak has already proven to often to
be the refuge Of criminal fleeing
from justice. The coroner's jury
wasted only few minutes in correctly
diagnosing that particular form Of
rabies, however, and the question now
is whether the trial jury will uphold
its verdict or continue to let the "de-
mentia" farce clog the wheels Of the
machinery Of justice.

WOULD IMPROVE ROADS
West Salem Districts Will Ask Court
For Use of County Rock
Crusher.

Residents of the Polk county sid'
are moving for substantial road i'm
provement.
An enthusiastic meeting of citizens
was held in Brush college," four
miles west of Salem few nights ago
where it was learned the rock crusher
belonging to Polk county was idle
and certain Of the officials had said it
would be possible TO get the county TO
operate it for the roads of this section
/ if the citizens would bind themselves
to take the rock from the crusber and
place it upon the roads.
The meeting designated a large
committee to wait upon the county
court and see if the crusher can be
secured on the terms stated, and il so,
to take steps to pledge the work neces
sary to handle the crushed rock.
The committee will wait upon the
Polk county court on Wednesday, |
December 2.
Sentiment at the meeting left no
doubt but that more than ample men
and teams will be furnished TO handle
all the rock the crusher can supply.
The road to be repaired is the one
leading down the river from the Salem
bridge, which, it was argued, needs
)nly the final coating of crushed rock

INDIAN CHILLED TO DEATH
Tom Gilbert, of Grand ROnde, Perishes
in Waters of Yamhill
River.

Coroner r. L. Chapman aud Dr
B. Il. McCalion were called to Villa
nina. Friday, to investigate the cir
cumstances Of the death Of Tom Gil
bert, an Indian OF the Grand Ronde
reservation, who met his end Thurs
day night in the waters Of the Yamhill
river near that place.
! Gilbert left Willamina late Thurs
day, considerably under the influence
Of liquor but still sober enough to sit
on his horses back. Early next
morning his lifeless body was found
in the river about one and half miles
from Willamina.
He had wandered from the road and
fallen over the steep bank into the
wafer and his coat, catching behind
in some vine maple saplings, held
him in the water up TO his chin in
spite Of his frantic struggles TO get
out There was no water in his lungs,
so his death could not be attributed to
and there were no marks
Of violence on his body. The clay I
bank in front Of him was scratched |
and torn where his fingers had slipped
through the moist earth in vain
.ffort TO hold, as the Timber branches
him back into the water after
ach fruitles5 effort to climb out.
Apparently he had repeatedly at
empted to clear himself from the
ntangling vines until his strength
ecame exhausted and he was
ragged back and held irresistibly in
he icy water and slowly chilled to ]
cath. ;
He was man about So years old +
nd had spent the greater part of his S
fe on the reservation. He has sew o
raj relatives also living on the reser- Y
alton. Two OF his nephews were b
resent at the inquest and seemed h
lclined TO attribute his death to foul II
lay although none Of the circum. (,
,ances give any grounds for such an "
npression. a

"Oregons" Choose Shaw For Captain.


THE Oregons" have conferred upon
Edward Shaw, their big center, the
honor of the captaincy of the basket
ball team during its Eastern tour. Mr..
Shaw is we'll worthy Of the position
given him, for during the past five
years, in which he has continuously
been player on the Dallas team, he
has proven himself man thoroughly
to be relied upon and admirably fitted
for the leadership of team. Gifted
with exceptional physical strength
and speed, he has also that quality of
coolness and rapidity of decision tn at
makes the ideal basketball player. In
his whole basketball career there has
scarcely been a time when the specta-
tors could say that Shaw lost his head
or failed to play up to his average
and "The Oregons" have shown excel
lent judgment in selecting a man of
his ability to act as their captain.
