Woman to Share
In Large Estate

Independence, Ore, March IL
Coming almost as a fairy tale is
The information that Mrs. A. Quars
dorf of this city is named among
the heirs of the Colonel Baker
estate at Philadelphia, Pa, which
is valued at millions of dollars
Colonel Baker, according to t,.s
story current here, was a pioneer
settler of Philadelphia and owned
500 acres of land which is now the
heart of that city. Before his
death he leased the land to the
city on 80 year contract. Upon
this land were erected the city hall
and other large structures. The
lease, 1t is said, expired last month
and the estate is now being set
tied. Under the terms of the viii
none Of the land could be disposed
OF until the expiration of the
lease, when the money derived
from the sale OF the land is % be
divided among the heirs, of whu-sa
there are said to be approximately
$50. The legacy is provided in
such a manner as to leave the
larger amounts to the nearest
relatives, the next generation the
lesser shares and so on down the
lines of descendants.

Silverton, Ore, March 11.-Ef-
forts to locate the body of Mike
Sweeney, who disappeared from
the Fish lake territory last winter
during the heavy snow, have been
futile according to John Moe of
Cascade who is at present visit

A searching party from Casca-
dia ramsacked the hills for weeks
in an effort to find Sweeney who
was traced through the snow to
a place were the trail ended. At
this point the snow has disappear

body remains a mystery.
The condition of the roads from

Book Revied

Talks in a Library" by Laur-
ence Hutton is an intensely inter
esting book and In reality the auto
biography of this truly lovable man
and a tremendously human one at
that, giving as 1t does the authors S
life through his association with
other well known men, not merely
as casual observer and interview
er, but as a beloved friend. The
pages of his memory are filled with
thoughts from the hearts of great
actors and authors until, to our de-
light. they step down from the
heights they have occupied in our
minds and become real, thinking,
sorrowing loving men and women.
His was the keenest enjoyment in
living over again the incidents
chronicled for life. TO him, never
lost its sweet SAVIOR so that his joy
in the telling becomes ours in the
reading until Mark Twain, Joseph
jefferson and others as great be-
come our friends as well as his and
the wonder grows at the amazing
personality that must have been
his to draw about him such a circle
OF famous people.
