prayer book toward him.
81 can't tell you whether or not
Johnson had ever been in love, but
undoubtedly he was at that moment.
The girl was about twenty-three or
four, rather fair, with a pair of blue
eyes whose glance Johnson found
himself trying to catch. At last he
did catch them, and there was such
an expression in them that Johnson
did not know whether he was kneel-
ing on his knees or his shoulders,
"They kneeled down side by side,
and neither of them was paying the
least attention to the sermon. If love
at first sight is not myth, that was
a case of it. Johnson caught the
girls glance again, and now the look
was unmistakable. And still neither
of them knew what the clergyman
was saying or doing. They were in a
fairyland together, alone in the midst
of the crowd that packed the cathe-
dral.
"The girl was so close to him that
Johnson's mouth was almost against
her ear. Their hands touched over
the prayer book. Now she was
speaking.
"'This is very unconventional,
she whispered.
YES answered Johnson.
eff you knew how 1 have longed
to meet you, and yet how frightened
I have been,' she said. When did
you arrive?'
last evening" answered John
son; and it all seemed perfectly nat
ural to him.
eve arrived yesterday, too said
the girl, raising her eyes to his.
Hush! Don't let the people see that
we are talking. We must preserve
decorum, mustn't we?'
Gas I said, it was all like a fairy
land to johnson. He took hold of the
girls hand under the prayer-book.

But he restrained himself. And it

"He never saw her again. You can

speedily enough. She was the prin-

have seen the British royal arms on

course, occupy that pew as the guest

The opening of the Tumalo
irrigation project, the first in the
United States to be financed by
a state, has been officially an
! nounced. Seventeen thousand
five hundred acres are thrown
open to entry under the terms
Of the Carey Act, at $40 an acre.
The terms are one-tenth cash,
the balance in ten years. De-
tailed information may be had
by addressing the project engin-
eer, o. Laurgaard. at Laidlaw,
Oregon. 1t is stated that the
lands under this project are ex-
cellent for grains and hardy veg
etables, and stock raising is also
successful. The high altitude
renders this section subject to
frosts in late Spring and early
Fall and frosts have been known
to occur during the Summer
months. 1t is expected that
this condition will improve to
some extent as the land is culti-
waited, but people desiring to 10
cate on this land are advised to
make a personal inspection in
stead of trusting to any unoffi-
cial reports.
Every boy and girl in Oregon
will have a chance next year to
take part in a hog raising con-
test to be backed by the Port
land Union Stock Yards, the
State Bankers Association and
other organizations interested
in the agricultural development
Of the Northwest. 1t is planned
to permit the young people to
borrow money on the security of
their parents or school princi-
pal which will enable them to
buy their hogs for cash at cur
rent market rates, the money to
be repaid when the stock is sold
The boys and girls will be re-
quired to keep an accurate rec
ord of all their expenditures and
to submit a complete report OF
their operations at the end OF
the year.

Newport

On last Saturday Capt. Enoc
Olson reported a large steel
barge beached at the mouth OF
Siletz. On Sunday Capt. Morse
and wife and Mr.. and Mrs. F. B.
Davis went to Siletz and hitched
to the barge and pulled her off,
but in towing to deep water
the barge broke loose again.
BY this time the government
cruiser was there and by the
aid of a life boat fastened a
cable to the barge and pulled her
out to deep water. She was
then taken to San Francisco by
the cruiser. The power life
boat, Capt. Stuart and crew,
also went out to render assis-
tance but was not needed. In
coming back the life boat, on
account of the high surf, had to
stay all night tossed back and
forth on the briny deep. 1t was
a cold and cherries night. The
barge had nothing on it and
while being towed by the cruiser
Friday night in the storm broke
loose and drifted ashore as
above stated. She was num-
bered 277, and was built at
Bennington, New York, and was
a government coal barge.
The Patsy in going up the
bay to Toledo Saturday got out
of the channel and ran on the
mud fiat near Mill Four. She

ing a line to the shore and pull

gines. She will be more careful

son were nominated; second

word that will govern the coun'
Gil this year. Several names

CORVALLIS & EASTERN
RETAIN TlDElANDS


A dispatch from Washington
to the Portland Journal says:
The Corvallis & Eastern rail-
road was finally victorious today
in the suit brought against it in
U. S. Supreme Court by the state
Of Oregon. The highest court
in the land refused to review the
Oregon Supreme Court in favor
of the railroad.
AS a result of the ruling the
railroad retains title to valuable
tideland which the state claimed
it had a right to sell among it's
school lands.
The federal Supreme Court
held that it had no jurisdiction
in the case.
The Joural says: This is the
elimination of a suit started in
February, 1912, to enjoin the
state from selling Las acres of
land on Alsea bay to G. R. Evens
for dockage purposes. The lit
igation was started in the Circuit
Court. The plaintiff corpora
tion alleged in its complaint that
the land was part of the old
grant to the willamette Valley
& Coast railroad company, con-
firmed by legislative acts of 1874
1878 and 1885. In defense of
its action in attempting to sell
the land, the state alleged the
land was unsurveyed and be-
longed to the state, as it was
within the meander line of the
United States survey along the
bay.
The Circuit Court upheld the
State, dismissing the suit and
dissolving the temporary injunc-
ton granted the railroad. 1t
was appealed to the Supreme
Court Of Oregon and the decis-
ion of the lower Court reversed
In concluding it's decision, the
Supreme Court of Oregon held
the act of February %, 1909
purporting to repeal materia,
parts of the Legislation respect.
ing the grant in question was ir
violation of the terms of the
constitution and afforded nc
protection to the defendants In
their avowed purpose of selling
part Of the land granted.
AS to what the ultimate re-
suit of this decision will be tC
the people of this county we art
not in a position to say at thi!
time.
