During the four years that the Chronicle has | been under the present manage-| ment, hundreds of doiiars worth | |of lost goods have been restored A non-partisan judi- | to their rightful owners through | the Chronicle's found and lost column. This week the honesty | of the community was again forceably brought to our atten- tion when Barney Luchtefeld, of the Keuterville section, brought to the Chronicle office two log chains valued at approximately $25. We were to advertise the lost property but before we went to press Carl Fuller calied and’ asked if any such property had been left with us. When inform- ed there was he described his lost property to perfection and remarked, “I thought if anyone around here found them he would advertise it.” LEAVES LAND OFFICE. Ernest L. Parker, lieutenant govirnor under the Alexander administration, and for many years engaged in the mercantile business in Cottonwood has re- cently been relieved of his duties as receiver of the Lewiston land office by a federal order consoli- dating the office of register and , receiver of the Lewiston office. | H. E. O'Donnell, editor of the Lewiston Banner, has for several months been register of the land office and now holds both posi- tions. Lack of land office business, caused congress to pass a law combining these two offices. Mr. Parker was appointed re- ceiver under the Wilson admin- istration and had the two offices not been combined he would have hed about a year more to serve. No future plans have been announced by Mr. Parker. TO STATE CONVENTION. Two state officials, Attorney General Roy Black and State Game Warden Otto M. Jones ac- companied by R. O.
