A year ago Mrs. J, s. Wyant found
a foot guard or support in the basement
of the residence on Union street. She
thought nothing of it, but few months
later another guard was found, Then
it was decided that some one was after
the change in the gas meter, and pre-.
cautions were taken to prevent further
visits. 1t was supposed that the thief
took off his shoes and lost the guards
in the basement. Yesterday DR.. R. D..
Byrd, physician at the state peniten.
tiary, who knew of the guards having
been left at the Wyant home, and had
often suggested spooks, told of a con-
Wet at the prison who needed the sup
ports, and today they are being worn
there. 1t all goes to show that things
finally land back where they belong

Will F. Taylor writes from the east
to Secretary Olcott asking for statistics
about Oregon so that he can do some
boosting for the state, and get some of
his neighbors headed this way. His
letter was turned over to Mr.. chapman,
state immigration agent at Portland.
Some three years ago this same gentle
man wrote Mr. Olcott on the same sub

he located near Albany, and has fine
farm there. He likes it so well that he
wants his old neighbors and friends to
also come to Oregon.
