She Whistled and He Came.

During her convalescence from
the fever her father, d. F. Boje,
raised objections to her marriage to
Stanton, and he was apparently of
the opinion that he had persuaded
her to forget him, but he had not.
Realizing that she would not be able
to win the consent of her stern parent
to the marriage. Miss Boje wrote Mr..
Stanton to come to her at Falls City
Thursday night after dusk, and they
would elope. He was to leave his
team down the road from the home,
so that it would be out of sight, and
then come to the home unobserved.
AT the appointed hour she was to
come to the gate and whistle, and he
was to emerge fro mhis place of con

COUNTY COURT WILL
CONVENE TOMORROW

The county court and commission
ers will convene again tomorrow and
road district No. 16 will come up for
argument. A petition has been filed
for correct survey of a road run
ming through this district, there
having been one survey and a road
established which proved to be but
30 feet wide and on account of the
law prohibiting the working OF a 80
foot road, the petitioners want the
county court to extend 1t TO 40 feet
in width. A strong opposition will
be on hand whose side of the matter
will be argued by Attorney S. r.
Richardson. Attorneys John A. Car
son and Jas. Heltzel will argue the
petitioners side of the question.
The county court has taken the
matter OF dividing the Turner
School District under adyisement
and will probably not decide the
question until the next regular meet
ing.

San Francisco, March 7.-Extracts
from a speech delivered by Mayor Nc
Carthy yesterday afternoon at the
laying of the corner stone of local
school house, make interesting read

zens.
Foremost of these is Andrew Car

The mayors remarks caused COM

Mccarthy took fling at the news,

his speech because of the danger OF
distortion by imaginative repOl ters
and blue penciling editors.
Speaking of the poisoned press. he
said:

going to write, for I know him to be
truthful, and one who knows a spade

there may be a scurrying for cover

RAILROAD
CAN MAKE
JOINT RATES

Washington, d. c.. March THE
supreme court today upheld the con-
tention of several transcontinental
railroads that the interstate COM
merce commission had no right to
force them to make joint through
passenger rates to the West. The

Pacific, the Chicago & Northwestern,
the Union Pacific, the Oregon Short
Line and other lines.
The ruling affects all the lines en-
gagged in transcontinental passenger

Mr.. Stanton is an employe of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company.
Mr. Stanton is a. widower with two
children, his former wife having de-
serted him, and some time ago he
secured a divorce from her on this
ground. Shortly afterwards he met
and fell in love with Miss Boje. His
love was reciprocated-as they say
in such matters-and both were anx-
ious to become married, but the six
months inhibition clause in the di-
vorce decree stood in the way, and
they had to wait. In the meantime,
Miss Boje, in view of the contem-
plated and agreed upon marriage de-
cided to keep house for Mr.. Stanton,
and care for his children. Recently
she was taken i'll with typhoid fever,
and returned to her home at Falls
City, and it was here that trouble for
the couple bobbed up.

the interest OF any particular candidate.
but invited all 10 attend who were "op-
posed TO the nomination Of Brainard H.
