DRIVING TEAM. Heiiry Kuebli Drives Out of Benton Sheriff Brings Him Back. At the hour of 1 o'clock last Thursday afternoon, during the time the attention of most citizens was attracted by the circus, the team of Mrs. S. A. Cooper was stolen. They had been driven to town by Mr. Allen, a nephew of Mrs. Cooper, and hitched to the rack at the Wade corner. As soon as it was discovered that the- team had been stolen Mr. Allen swore out a warrant, and started in com pany of Sheriff Rickard in pursuit of the team. They found that the party having the team had gone to ward Independence and followed after as rapidly as possible. Fri day morning between 8 and 9 o'clock the party was overhauled within a couple of miles of Salem. He made no resistance when ar rested, and stated that be had camp ed Thursday night in a vacant house a few miles north of Inde pendence. He had some feed for the horses in the wagon when taken into custody. The prisoner's name is Henry Kuebli, and he gave his age as only 17, but he has the appearance of being older. He is rather a small fellow, dark complectioned and with dark hair. He states that he was born in New York City, where he has a mother, three sisters and a brother, but that he recently came north from San Francisco. Kuebli stole a ride from Albany to Corval lis on the circus train of Norris & Rowe Thursday morning. When captured he told the sheriff that he just wanted to take a ride, as he was tired of walking, and that he had no particular place of destina tion in view. It is generally pre sumed now that he has a destina tion in sight. Saturday morning Kuebli was given a hearing before Justice Hol gate, E. L. Bryan being his counseL Kuebli waived examination and was bound over in the sum of $300 for his appearance at tho Novemhor term of court; in default of which he was placed in the county bastile, where in all likelihood he will re side until said date.

At its session last week the com missioners' court offered a helping hand in improving the road in Al sea. A petition from W. Tom, re citing the condition of this highway and the strenuous efforts of the citi zens of Willamette precinct, in which most of the road lies, to bet ter its condition, was given earnest consideration and the relief asked for was granted. Owing to jthe small number of residents in that road district it is impractical for them to properly work the road, but much has been accomplished by them. It was shown that a portion of the road, known as the new grade, needed to be corduroyed, and that 1500 pieces of timber would be suf ficient to place this grade in good condition. Estimates place the cost of cutting and hauling these timbers at $35, and the court ordered that amount expended, the people of that section offering to place them in position without charge.

To the" mountains our people in in creasing I numbers yearly look for those days of relaxation and recreation neces sary to maintain the human machine in fair working condition. The languorous sloth of the seashore proves very seduc tive while it lasts, but man- have de cided that the annual outing should pro vide not only radical change of air and surroundings, but also such stimulation of flagging energies iiswill provide brawn and vigor for tho return to labor. For this they urge the mountain climb and ramble, the balsam of the mountain pines, aud the clear, unadulterated mountain air. In this direction the Shasta Route now affords a wealth of attractions. The en tire line of road from Ashland to Red ding is studded with charming and ac cessible hotels and camps, where are cheer and comfort and healing at reason able cost, and where you can hunt, fish, ride, loaf, or play with equal facility. Or if you look for healing waters, none better can be found, hot or cold, than the springs of Ashland, Colestin, Auder son, Bartlett,. Byron and Paso Robles. Before visiting Europe, the people of the northwest should see the glories of Yosemite valley and the wondrous groves of Mariposa and Calaveras ; the Parisians are likely to make inquiries concerning these attractive resorts. -iend to Mr. C.

All our customers will bear out these statements. We believe this is the best place for you to buy shoes; and solicit your patronage. F. L. Miller. Every item offered below is proof of the above assertion. The quotations are only a very meagre representa tion of the values which place this store unquestionably in the lead. This store is crowded with the most com plete and comprehensive stock of dry goods we have ever shown. Every line .was bought at close prices, and the goods will be passed along to our customers at the usual small margin of profit which has made this store so successful and popular. The New Spring Parasols Are Here, This store offers many attractions to economica buyers. A store that relies solely on low prices to win and hold trade is playing "a losing game." To win such success as this store is winning it is necessary that the low prices should represent goods of strictly reliable quality. Every woman in this city who is posted on dry goods, and who takes the time to compare goods and prices will admit that our values are superior. We make and hold customers by treating them right. We lead ; others follow. IF you want a stylish spring hat for $3.00, just as good as the $5.00 kind, come'here. The only difference is in the absence of the name, and "what's in a name."
