Serious damage was created in Mount View vicinity by the wind storm ot Wednesday morning. A large barn belonging to W. S. Locke was al most completely wrecked and it will be necessary to reconstruct It. A large shed belonging to Oliver Wlth am also blew over and demolished his buggy. Much fenciog was blown down and several fruit trees uprooted. A contract has been let to J. B. Smith & Co for the construction of a regulation sewer from the oew school house southward to I Madison street. The city, in accordance with its usual custom will pay the expense - ot continuing the sewer across the street, to a connec'ion with tbe latter al - ready constructed from tbe Jefferson street main to the south side of Mad ison street. ;.' Mrs. Anna Beach received a tel egram the ' other day, announcing the death ef her mother, Mrs.' John Sticker, at the famflv home at Ho mer, New York. The sad event hap pened while Mr. Sticker was absent ou a business trip to Cincinatti, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Sticker formerly resld ed in Oorvallls, where Mr,. Sticker was superintendent of the Carriage fact ory.- He holds a similar position now in a large establishment at Homer. Louis South worth ot Alsea Bsy, arri.ed In town Thursday with , 900 pounds of cured ealmoh. He con veyed it to Yaquina by team and shipped It on the oars to this point, Five hundred pounds, of his fish is salted la kits and barrels and 400 is smoked. He met with ready sale here for both the smoked and salted fish. Mr, Southworth has excellent faculties for catching and preparing salmon at his place and the quality of his output la absolutely flretclaes In a short time he will be out with an other quantity of salted . salmon, but he has no more ot the smoked ar ticle. ' 7 ' N. C. Pickett, who makes regular trips between Oorvallls and Wade Malone's store In Alsea. started Wed nesday morning for the iatter's place, having as a portion of his load 400 poqnds of dressed chickens and tur keys. On the Alsea mountain Mr. Plokett encountered one tree after an other which had been '.- blown down across the road by the high wind of the previous night. For a good por tion of tbp day it looked - to the teamster as though he would be com pelled to turn back and . dispose of the dressed poultry telow cost. Mr. Pickett's god luck In finally getting . through cut tbe Alseans out of hav ing a big and inexpensive feed of tur key and chicken. An old brown muley cow during several nights tbe first ot the week In- vaded the unfenced gardens of the town. She evaded a number of-at-- tempts to drive her to the pound when found in the commission of her depredations, and during the day time remained ; outside the incorporation, where tbe city authorities bad no ju risdiction. But she was finally outwlt- . ted and is now receiving city rations. It is doubtful it the poor old prisoner would sell for the city charges against .her, and largely on this account Chief Lane is making a strong effort to fer ret out the owner. It is probable that he will not succeed. It his search is - not successful and nobody will take the'cow off the city's hands, a condi tion and not a theory Will confront the authorities. The city laws are by no means clear on, the situation. . , Intelligence of the death in In dlaha of her father, has been received by Mrs. Hayward. James McOaustland, who is in business at Wilbur, Wash., is in Oor vallls for a brief stay, B. F. Jones passed through town yesterday, en route to Toledo after a business visit to Portland.' 7 j Mr. and Mrs. Robert McOaustland are to go to Wilbur to reside, accom panying their eon James when he re turns. , - About twenty of their friends, tendered a reception to Mr. and Mrs McOaustland at tbe home of Captain Bobinson, Monday evening.

Letcher in McElroj's addition chaDged hands. . The new owner is J. G. Wuestftldt and the price paid was Mr. A. B. Locke and wife, who have been in Missouri for the past month, are enjoying their visit great ly, and will probably stay until the new year. Arthur Belknap, cleik at the gro cery store ot E. B. Horning, went to Portland yesterday to consult an oc ulist. His eyes have been troubling him for some time and hebopes to Had relief under the care of a specialist. The O. A. O. Glee Club, which was organized a month ago made Its first public appearance Wednesday morning at the cbapel hour. At that hour the club rendered "March of the Nations." A demonstrative encore was declined. . I : A portion of the material is on the ground for repairs to the Farmers' hotel. New sills are to be laid under the building and tbe front Is to be im proved or made new. Many improve ments are to be made to the interior In the way of papering, painting, etc. The merchants of Oorvallls did an excellent business In the stiff bat and umbrella trades Wednesday evening after the football game, and it was all because ot Boot's touchdown. The wildest scenes of demonstration ever witnessed" on tbe local football field were enacted Wednesday, surpassing even tbe great hurrah some years ago on the gridiron when Daddy Hartless lambasted Mrs. Bloss with an already shattered umbrella until he held noth ing but tbe crook ot the handle, and the lady admitted that she enjoyed - What promises to be a highly in teresting game of football, occurs on O. A. O. field this afternoon. It will be between the second teams of the University of Oregrtp and the Agricul tural College, and Is certain to be spir ited and sportsman like. The local eleven receptly defeated the second team of the Cbemawa school in a score of 39 to naught, a fact that has aroused a iot - of coLflJence in the prowess of the junior college men. Tbe University men also' have a fine record and a good gam a ot ball is sure to be the resnlt of the meeting: The klckoff will he at three o'clock. The steamer Pomona arrived up from Portland Thursday moroiog, re turning immediately upon taking on three car loals of flour from the Fischer mill andUwo Torn the Benton Mills. The Pomonawas expected up Wednesday morning but tbe bigh wa ter at that time presented 'her from attempting to ps?a thS Albany bridge. For a time thejffe is to ne a tri-weekly river service Jbetween Cbrvallls and Portland, thaf boat leaving here Mon day, Wednesday and Friday morn ings. It is probable that a dally ser vice will be put on in the near future. O. J. Blackledge, formerly a member of the firmof J. D. Mann& Co, has purchased the secondhand business of E. E.- White, who was located near the Burnett brick. In voicing was in progress Monday and Tuesday ancT the deal was con summated and Mr. Blackledge took charge Wednesday. ' The stock purchased included much new - fur niture as well as second hand goods and it is the intention of the buyer to close out the, latter class of goods and supplant it with new. Mr. Blackledge will also keep a stock of musical instruments. . In other words, he is to devote his energies and capital in maintaining in Cor- vallis a combined music and furni ture store.

The city council has passed an or dinance making a contract with the Cprvallis Electric Light and Power Company for street lighting for a period of io years. Tbe action was taken at an adjourned session of the council Tuesday night.-- 1 he rates are $72 per year for arc lights and ?i7 for Ihcandescents Two contracts, formally drawn up," were presented for consideration One embodied the offer of B. F. Jones with a,rcs at $75 and incan descents at 1 7.50 per year. It was reported to the council by a special committee consisting of Council menColbert, Henkle and Porter, and was submitted without recommen dation. While it was pending a contract embodying the offer of the Electric Light Company with arcs at $72 per year and incandescents. at $17 per year was presented. Mr. Jones was present at the meeting, and when the new offer of the local light company was made known, he asked permission to submit an other bid. The council men took the ground however that to permit Mr. Jones to revise his figures would, be irregular and contrary to custom, and adopted the ordinance making the contract with the local company. V The vote on the ordi nance was-, ayes,, Rose, ;.: Porter, Cameron, Crees, Taylor, Hodes, Henkle, and Colbert; absent. Avery. The statement is made that, after inducing the local light company to make a second bid, some" of the councilmen . had agreed that no other bids would be considered and that this is why the request of Mr, Jones to be allowed to offer a , sec ond bid was refused. . SAWLOGS ADRIFT. A Large Boom Breaks Away From - Corvallis Sawmill Company. About noon Thursday a raft of logs which had been tied near Jeff erson street during tbe fall, and which was owned by the Corvallis mill company broke its fastenings and went down the river. The cur rent of the rising Wilamette proved too strong for;the fastenings and the cable with which the rait was se cured parted. The boom logs or brail, enclosing the raft, however, held together, and as the mass of timber moved down the strearnit barely missed the county ferry boat moored on the west bank a short distance below. , Parties seeing the logs move away telephoned the fact to the sawmill company, but before anything could be done to stop the logs they had passed a considerable distance down the river. About half way 'to' Albany the raft struck a stump, and the brail parted. Then the logs separated " and are now lodged along the stream as far down as Buena Vista. - . Six or seven men with three boats went to that point Ihursday afternoon and began lm ing up the logs as they : arrived Those that have lodged above will be driven to the big eddy near Buena Vista and later they will be sold to some of the sawmills below, from 50 to 200 logs broke away from Corvallis but -will be probably only a small loss in one respect . as the logs will sell below for more than they cost the mill company, The most serious loss will .-; be the profits on the lumber which the logs would have made. As a con sequence of the misfortune the mill will be compelled to shut down in a short time and this will occasion considerable loss of Corvallis labor, - A Card of Thanks, r The relatives of William Groves do most heartily express their sin cere thanks and appreciation for the many acts or kindness afforded them during their late - bereave ment. A true friend is best known by his deeds, and friendship shown on an occasion of this kind will never be forgotten. - MRS. .WILLIAM GROVES AND Family. : Trespass Notice.

Traveled a Mile a Minute and Smashed Windows and Wrecked Sheds. - Tjje fiercest windstorm in many a year, swept over Benton county in the early hours o Monday morn ing. : The wind was the heaviest of record since the establishment of ..l. .1 ' . . 1 me wca-ncr ouce ar rne college a dozen or more years : ago. For twenty minutes between three and four o'clock its velocity - was 60 miles per hour. The average vel ocity between the hours named was 41 miles . The wind - came in fierce gusts that roared ominously, and its force shook residences in all parts of town, sometimes to such extent that the inmates were more or less frightened. In one family all the members arose and dressed themselves and waited for a lull in the stortn or daylight. At . the house of John Allen the - family oc cupied a south room, and the big pane of glass in the window blew out with a crash. "The wind swept into the room with great force, tearing pictures from the walls, blowing covers from the bed and raising au v., unlimited variety ; of Cain. There was no way to stop the great hole in the window and the occupants of the room were forced to desert it for another cham ber, . In many instances, the slight swaying of the house by the wind caused vases and dishes to rattle and the rattle ot windows and other noises incident to a- storm of the character caused the timid to wish . for tbe morning or for the unusual zephyr to waft more gent ly and summerlike. Of damage, nothing of serious character is reported, Two chim neys out in the vicinity of the col lege went down under the force of theT storm. One was on the house of Physical Director Trine, and the other was part of one on the Col lege Armory." Five big window panes were blown out of the Arm ory, Administration and Agricul tural buildings at the College, an other was smashed in the city hall, and still another went out of the front in the Lafferty store. Th big temporary shed at the lumber yard went down into wreck, and a small shed af Prof. McKellips house collapsed. The top was blown from tthe big water, tow er at the college. Among other misfortunes and in conveniences waited our - way by the breeze was the wreck of Dick Kiger's wind mill, and one of his large pear trees which , fell dan gerously near one of his houses; a skylight blown off the Farmers' Hotel, and one would have blown off Smalls icecream parlors had not Mr. Small held it down during the storm. P,.J. Schmidt and family who reside at the big prune orch ard, felt unsafe or, at least, uncom fortable, in their residence arter a number of windows had been blown out, and they took ; refuge in the packinghouse. .
