Lot- Jumping Cases
 Bloom With Spring

Two lot cases were tried in the com missioner's court during the week, and in both instances the alleged jumpers got the worst of it.
 In the case of Irene Harvey vs. John Nelson and J. J. Murray, the contro- versy ragged over lot F by 100 facing on Third avenue. The plaintiff, repre- sented by Chas. F. Taylor, contended that she had purchased lot 40 by 100 and had placed building on all but 12 feet of it. The jury thought she ought to have the rest of what she had pur- chased, and gave her a verdict. Attor- ney J. $. Harding, for the defendants, says he will appeal.
 On Wednesday, the case of Herman Anderson vs. Tim Corcoran was tried before Judge Maltby, sitting without jury. The lot involved in this case was on First avenue, east of Black, and between the lots claimed by George Taylor and H. Main.
 The plaintiff claimed that he had oc- cupied the lot with tents since he had staked the same. and had frequently set them up after they were leveled by the winter storms. The defendant claimed he could see little evidences of occupation when he went on the lot. Judge Maltby decided in favor of the plaintiff, and Attorney Harding, for the defendant, says he will appeal from the ruling. Major Albrecht repre- sen ted the plaintiff.

CHASING QUARTZ
 IN THE CHANDLAR

At the time Richmond Mitchell left the Chandlar in March McNett and partner, prospecting for placer, had not reached bedrock on Little Squaw. They were down 90 feet and were getting lc pans from the gravel Their work is being done below the point where the quartz vein crosses the creek as it is thought that good placer workings will be found there, the gold being derived from the ledge.
 D. A. Mun phy is practically the only other placer prospector. He has com pleled q hole l6O feet deep on Monarch creek. which heads against the Hosiana river divide, but has not found any thing of much value and now is drift ing.
 The chief work on quartz is being done on Big Squaw, Little Squaw and Tobin creeks.
 F. J. Carter is down 100 feet in a 6x4 shaft and is starting to tunnel. The shaft is entirely in ore. At the out cropping the vein was eight feet wide.
 Newton & Swift, of Big creek have gone down B or 40 feet and have a good showing. Their ledge is Is or Is feet in width. The shaft is following down along one side where the ore shows free gold that is visible to the naked eye.
 Marsh is still at work upon his mill and has not done very much of late In the way of tunnel work, having been short of supplies, for much of the time it was too cold to freight.
 Capt. Haynes will be out soon, He las not been doing much of late on his properties.
 "The work that has been done on quartz so far," says Mr. Mitchell, "has been very satisfactory to the camp, justifying the faith that the men have placed in it" The Chandlar man says that now that the Beaver trail is through to the camp, it will not be SC hard nor so expensibe for the miners to get in their supplies, hence the development work will not be so great burden as heretofore.
 The camp does need, and needs badly some provision for mail service. The absence of mail service is d handicap to the district and a hardship on all who are in the section.

Ask Property Owners
 To Put in Sidewalks

A resolution was adopted at the Wednesday meeting of the city council directing the chief of police to instruct all property owners having lots abut- ting on Willow, First and Richmond streets to look to their sidewalks and to build them as soon as practicable. The order was to be put in the nature of request, and the resident should be properly coaxed to make his sidewalk eight feet wide, and of a uniform grade with those of his neighbors. The ex- pense of fixing the proper grade will be bourne by the city.
 In addition, residenters in other DOT tions of the city will be urged to put in their sidewalks, and these shall be of a uniform width of five feet.
 Although the council has the right to compel the laying of sidewalks, the city dads feel that it is best to reason with the reluctant ones, at least for the present

COMING AND GOING

According to Duncan Michie, who where he met "Swiftwater Bill'' Gates, that genial highwayman is the whole thing in South American curiosities at present, and having successfully launch ed two mining companies, is now try ing to pry loose a few more bones from unsuspecting investors to start third. Bill is apparently there with the goods, and carries around a bunch of autumn leaves that a greyhound couldn't jump with running start. The better half that he now has with him seems to have the jinx on Bill, for she keeps him straight and has much to do with running the family. Strange to say, she has been under Bills roof tree several months.
 The Otter Masonic club will get to, gether next Thursday, May Is, at Flat, and go through the interesting busi- ness of electing officers for the coming months.
 A big public meeting is to be held at the A. B. hall at Flat tonight, whereat the citizens of that thriving burg will go earnestly into the question of fire protection. The town is growing so rapidly that they have had little time to talk fire, but the lesson learned from the experience of this city has evidently taught them it is wise to get on the job and keep something up their sleeves for an emergency.
 The Otter-creek bridge at Flat is completed. and hip boots can now be thrown in the discard.
 During the absence of Miss Kotsch, who is relieving Miss Haley at the local telephone exchange, Miss Marie Coolidge is in charge of the Kotsch cigar and candy store at Flat City.

Having built new G0-foot scow and repaired the two used last season, Jim Haley, skipper of the gasoline boat Edna, of the Ross & Nestor company, will be ready to hike for Dikeman in the immediate wake of the ice, which is due to clear at any moment.
 The Edna was one of the mainstays of the mosquito fleet last season, and she will be constantly on the job this summer.
 The first trip down this spring is for the purpose of bringing up the Ross & Nestor lumber from Dikeman, there being about 1000 feet there which is badly needed here. Besides the load to be brought by the Edna, the steamer Pup will carry lumber on her first visit to this city.

DALLAS BOAT TO COMPETE WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Louis H. Gohrke Will Enter 'LaCre-
OLE in Astoria Aquatic Races.

Promptly at 6:47 Saturday morn
ing, according to the clock in the
court house tower, the natty gasoline
launch "LaCreole" cast off her moor
ings in front of Stafrin's drug store
and gaily made her way down Main
street in the direction of the William
ette, via the Salem road. The Amer
lean ensign huttered from the stern
and one of Arthur Starts red wag-
ons rolled along underneath.
The LaCreole is just about the
trimmest craft that ever came down
the local channel. She is 2l feet long
with four and half foot beam, and
is, designed as a racer that goes out
to win. Although a boat of her size
calls for about a 15-horse power en-
gine, she is equipped with a 30-horse-
power, fOur-cylinder, latest model
gasoline engine, and has power A.
plenty, and some to spare. She was
designed and built by Louis H.
GOhrke, a skillful young carpenter Of
this city, and he believes that she is
capable of making from lS to 20
miles per hour
On arrival at the Willamette river
the boat was launched and her pre-
liminary try-out confirmed her build
er's expectations in every way. She
will be taken down the river and will
be entered in some Of the motor boat
contests that are to be pulled off at
the Astoria Centennial. and it is
thought she will be a prize-taker.

ABANDONs sEAFARING LIFE
Joe Brown Encounters Obstacles In
Efforts to Become Skipper.

After reading the following thrill
ling excerpt taken from the Newport
Signal, friends of Joe Brown will
readily understand why he has felt
justified in given up his ambition to
become a mariner on the deep blue
sea:
Joseph Brown, of Dallas, while
haiing from the inland, believed he
could pick up some easy money by
turning boatman on the bay. Be
fore becoming a full-hedged skipper
he took a preliminary trip by him
self, to test his expertness with the
oars, and Tuesday morning started
out on the bay for a trial spin.
"Mr. Brown had overlooked one
point, however. He has been blessed
by nature with an abdomen of alder
manic proportions, and when it came
to deft manipulation Of the oars that
stomach proved a serious handicap.
In spite of all his efforts he drifted
rapidly down toward the ocean bar,
and would have been swept out to
sea, had it not been for other boat
men on the bay, who saw the plight
and picked him up. Since that ex-
perience Mr.. Brown has revised his
ideas of seafaring life. T"

Receipts and Sales at Portland Union

PORTLAND, Aug. 5.-Receipts for
the past week have been as follows:
Cattle 1862, calves "a, hogs 843, sheep
9288, horses and mules 43.
While offerings in the cattle divis-
ion were fewer in number than the
previous week, quality was better and
the market took higher tone. One
lot of well-fnished steers sold for
$500, which topped the market for
the week, with the exception of one
load of extra choice stuff that brought
&C. Medium steers sold around 1926
TO $500, but as usual the buyers seem
to prefer the better grades, although
all classes found a ready sale. Sew
eral lots of prime cows and heifers
brought DC; very few good veal calves
on the market, one small lot brought
7c, with brisk demand. Bulls and
stays remained steady at former quo
tations. Taking everything into con
sideration, indications are that the
market has steqdied up somewhat and
that cattle, especially the best grades,
will continue to. bring prices quoted.
Hogs came TO the front again with
an advance of 25c, making a top of
Sc for the swine division. Receipts
are still very light, not enough COM
ing in 10 make an impression on the
demand. If il were not for the fact
that several shipments of Eastern
hogs were received during the week,
there would be a dearth of pork on
the market.
Although receipts Of sheep were a
third greater than last week, the mar
ket continued strong on best grades
of mutton Eastern Oregon and
Washington lambs are bringing $3.50
10 Sj.65, valley lambs from - 10
S5.25. Some choice yearlings sold as
high as 1915, wethers brought 1885
for a top. and ewes $500. These
prices we're considered highly salts
factoy BY feeders and owners alike,
taking into consideration the congest-
ed state Of the market that has OBJ
