INlPERTENENE

There was an amazing ending or
civil case tried in a Wyoming
Court. 1t was an appeal case and
on one side was testy lawyer ana
the other a number of inexperienced
attorneys The arguments on Doth
sides had been heard and the case
closed for Judgment.
Suddenly one of the inexperienced
lawyers got up and addressed the
court once more. The testy lawyer
stood in for a moment but losing
patience, he also rose and addressed
The court in this wise:
Your honor, l would beg with all
respect to point out to the court that
my learned friend opposite is entire
" out of order in addressing the
court. and if l may be permitted 10
say so, the court has no right to be
listening 10 him"
The court, who at that time was
writing put his head out in belli-
gerent way and said: Mr.. Smith, it
is q great piece Of impertinence on
your part, to assume that the court
IS listening 20 him"

"WHO DID IT,
"IyHO FOUNDED OREGON"

When it comes to a Countrywide
is entitled TO be called its discover
er: the man who saw it first or the
fellow who first set foot on its soil?
Periodically We must give the
credit for the real discovery of the
State of Oregon to Boston trader
named Robert Gray who, IN the good
ship Columbia, first entered the
mouth of the Columbia River. This
was on May IL, 1892. 1t was surely
he who established Americas title to
Oregon.
However, if you read a Spanish
history book you may change your
mind. There you will find that the
explorer Ferrlo, in 1913 was the first
to sail along the coast of Oregon and
to carefully mark it on his map. Then
you turn to British primer and i'm
mediately you learn that Sir Francis
Drake. the great freebooter. found
Oregon in 1878. And Whatever
credit is left after brakes voyage,
-oes. according TO our British ecu
sins, 10 Captain Cook who made the
anne rip N lIT7.
But not one Of these had tense
enough TO disembark. This aGyen-
ture was left for Captain Gray OF
Boston.

perpetrated last April was found
this week when about $500 worth Of
the stolen property was discovered

ried 4 sample OF his tind TO l.. w.
Dorman, president Of the company,
who at once identified it rs their
property.
Lieutenant Ward. OF the state
police took charge Of the case. His
theory is that The thieves HnAng
themselves hard pressed and finding
it difficult to dispose of their loot,
buried it at the bottom Of the mill
pond. hoping it would escape at
lentiOn.
The loot found included seven
Winchester repeating rifles, % IA
zors, several sets of knives and
forks. flashlights, scissors and
pocket knives, all in badly damag-
ed state from exposure to the water.
