Jonathan Brown is said to have lost a fine minorca rooster in an unusual way. He had ouly the one rooster on his place and one day the rooster showed unmistak able signs of having been a princi pal in a fight. The following day the minorca died. A little later Mr. Brown located the scene of the battle. Minorca feathers were scattered about the ground in great abundance and there was also a quantity of feathers from a China 'pheapant rooster strewn about the ground. Mr. Brown is ot the opin- ion that the China bird killed his minorca rooster. Mr. Neikirk, who arrived in Benton county about a month ago from Colorado, and purchased a farm near Philomath, was the re cipient of a letter from his old borne, last Saturday, that will have a tendancy to squelch any desire he might entertain to go back to hia old home. Among other things, the writer stated they had recently experienced a rainstorm back there during which an inch of water fell in five minutes. This beats Ore heat record. The writer fur- . ther stated that in an orchard cf 10,000 peach trees there wouM be about one bushel of peaches. From the above it will appear that Ore g'Wiians had better make the most of their troubles at home and be contented. An observant peison will readily see what an important ficUr the creamery has become in the indus trial system of Benton county. Early each morning wagons laden with milk commence to arrive at the creamery and there is a con stant stream of wagons coming in until late in the forenoon. This means thousands of dollars to our citizens. It is an assistance to evervbodv. All dairyman should make it a noint to patronize the croamprv. and not lose sieht of the fact that the running expenses of the creamerv are practically the game whether the quantity of milk received be laige or small. Conse tlv. the lareer the Quantity re- AAivfxl the hisrher the price that Mr. KauDish can afford to pay for butter fat. From this point of view luirimdn t-.nn re&dilv see that thev are working for themselves to a cer tain extent when they assist in get over to Nt V. a T7 I Sanders, Jewe!er. L.

It is estimated that half of the erain in Benton county is cut and in the shock. The crop on the av enge is thought to be fully as good as that of a year ago. We want houses to rent to our customers.

Josenh Yates, wife and daughter. arrived home. Thursday, from an outing of a couple of weeks at New- 0 - w . 11 1... port. Mrs. Yates and aaugnier are reported to have had a "splendid" time, but Mr. Yates, according to his many friends, cannot tell just how good his outing was. Here ia the gospel of every day ife. as preached and practiced, by Senator Depew: "Cultivate men who laugh; love and welcome a man who tries to tell a joke, and try to laugh at it. Believe that to morrow, under all circumstances, will be better and brighter than to day." A party consisting of Dr. Lester, Sheriff Bur Lett, T. Whitehorn and Robt. Johnson expect to leave to day for Belknap Springs, up on the . . 1 SA 1 I McKenzie, about iuu mues irom here. They will take their own conveyance and camp outfit and expect to be gone about ten days. They are going on a hunting and fishing expedition.

Denman and wite, Mr. and Mrs. Baker and children went over to A lap a ahnnt a week aero for an outing of several weeks' duration. Mr. Baker has had ill heaitn or ate and is in hopes of recruiting himself. The Howe truss bridge that is being constructed across Marys river by Henry Milhollen is rapidly assuming shape. I he plank is laid for some distance on the north end and the truss work is over three- fmirt Vis done. The task of driving1 the piling is about completed and from now on there will be plain sailing. The bridge will, be com pleted in season for heavy grain hauling, it is hoped. J. R. Smith & Co. are eettins along splendidly with their sewer work. Four ot tne laterals are now cnmnleted. with the exception of the flush tanks. 'It has been Viord to nrnnnre the services of a brick mason to put the flush tanks in, but Mr. Smith thinks he will soon be able to secure a man for thia worlr. Work has now com menced on the last lateral called for in Mr. Smith's contract, the sewer running through the Opera House alley. A fourth race between the Cook and Tortora horses was run at Al bany last -Thursday. In the three previous races between these ani mals, whicn occurred on jigero track near this city, the Cook mare won in each instance. Ernest Case purchased the Tortora horse a - i n . J couple of weeks ago, and cnauenged ik for a race, i ne norse was pus in training and with Riley, of Al bany, as his jockey, beat tne mare easily in a race of three hundred yards. It is reported that another rnr haa been arranged to be run shortly on the Kiger track. Some time ago mention was made in the Gazette of Mrs. A. J. Hall's plan of setting a steel trap on top for the purpose of catching o hanrlr that was in UIO U&UIb Ul preying on her flock of fowls. Well, in due season she caugni me aawn and it 6eems that her husband had iorgotten about the trap, or he saw the hawk perched up on the pole and immediately got his shot- - . t l 1 c gun and gave tne Diru oi prey a Tt is rumored in sport- in or r.irc les that Jack shuts his eyes when he shoots, and there must be a grain of truth in the story, for it ;a aaA to have taken a number of nhnta for him to kill the bird. But he is a persevering man and finally killed it. Miss Lydia Kisor arrived, Satur day, from Washington. Mrs. Dixie Hays, and Mrs. T. W, Dilley and children, returned home, Sunday, from a two-weeks' visit at Scio. . Prof. F. S. Haroun, head of the hnuinpss dpnartment of Philomath College, was in. Uorvaliis on dusi nees, Saturday.

His trial will be held at the next term of the district court, No vember 3. A baseball game between teams from Peoria and this city, at tracted auite a crowd to the flat near Marys river bridge Sunday afternoon. The teams were very evenly matched and with the ex ception of two innings, .when they took turn about going up in the air, played very good ball. The final score was 12 to 14-in favor of Corvallis. If the home team would practice, there is material here for a first-class nine. This is ai inventive age and me chanical labor saving devices are to be seen on every hand. The latest thing of its kind is a book type writer that is now on trial at the clerks' office. It arrived last Thursday and it is especially de signed for the purpose of entering matters of record in large books. This one does its work splendidly and is a spice-saver as far as the book of record is concerned and a time-saver when it comes to enter ing various matters that require the time of a man. The machine in question is made by the Fisher Book Type Writer Co., and was se cured in Portland. It is not yet known whether it will be retained or not. About a month ago Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Moore, of this city, went back to their old home in Illinois intend ing to remain on a visit until about September 1st. Since coming to Oregon, two or three years ago, Mrs. Moore has been very much dissatisfied and has longed for her old home in the East. A letter re cently received from her indicates that she will be more contented with life in Oregon in the future. Rim wrifpa that-since their arrival at the old home they have experi enced nothing but a series 01 storms. On the night of their arrival there wa3 a severe electric storm and a holt of lie-htnins struck the corner of the house they were staying in. The heat, too, has been almost un bearable at times. Everything Mrs. Moore wrote indicates her dis satisfaction with eastern climatic conditions. TTrrv Hoi crate and Bradv Bur nett arrived last week from Wash ington, D. C, where they now have permanent positions in the Census Bureau. After a few days' visit in this city Harry will go to Califor nia on business connected witn j,ne department in which he is employ ed. The intense beat in Washing ton has undermined Brady's health considerably, and he will spend his . .... vacation nnietlv at uis home in uor- vallis, recuperating. His normal weight is about 160 pounds, and he retained it durine the arduous cam paign in the Philippines, but he now tips the beam at izo. narry Hoi sate also come back from the ialn nda weiorhinff about 160 pounds He now weighs 132. It would ap pear from this, that Americans, from this coast at least, find the cli mate of Luzon far more coDgenia than that of Washington. Splendid Prospects.; The furniture factory of Messrs. Colbert and Gregory is kept busy these days getting out build ing material for Henry Snook, contractor on the new Agricul tural Hall at the O A C. As soon as they "complete their large order for building material they will begin on another or ler for Mr. Snook. The last-mentioned order will consist of mouldings. ornamental pieces, etc., for finish ing up the hall. Just at present the proprietors of the furniture factory are able to secure an abundance of lumber suitable for their use. It is still a question with them whether they will be able to lay in a sup ply in excess of their every day needs to enable them to run steadily throughout the coming winter. If they can secure suffi cient lumber for their needs dur ing the coming winter" they will be able to guard against any shortage in future seasons, .1 - a ii : : J J ltistneir lnienuun. piuvmcu they are enabled to secure the necessary material during the summer seasons to manuiaeture furniture throughout the winters. This seems to be an excellent idea and it is hoped that every thing will be shaped to their lik ing. At present there are five men kept at work steadily. The proprietors are welt satis fied with their business venture in tjorvaiiis ana arc saaguiuc over the prospects of a. profitable future. They are of the opinion that Oregon is just on the eve of a healthy and substantial indus trial growth that will continue for several years. One' does not have to be very optimistic to aver that everything certainly looks that way. Julius Again. Julius Caesar, an old colored slave who was brought "to Cor vallis years ago by B. T. Taylor, gets credit or blame, as the case may be, for many things that transpire for good or evil. Juli- . , , - r US was in Voivauis ior many years and is well known here. He has furnished many items ot interest for - discussion during the time of his residence here and since his removal to a larger place he has had a greater field to work in. He is now in Portland and al ways cuts a figure in anairs ot rnportance political or other- wise. ie is now ueia responsi ble for the bad luck of the Port- and baseball team, and Friday's Telegram gives Julius a little no tice under the caption, "Was Julius theHoodoo? Caesar's new tile may have caused deteat 01 Portland. " A paragraph reads as follows: Julius Caesar, the colored mas cot of the city, wore a new suk hat, and the Webfoots went up in the air, to the tune of 9 to 1, Jakey Deisel's timely hit in the ninth, with two men gone, sav ing the locals from a shut-out. Opinions differ as to the influence Julius and his new wearing ap parel . had, but nevertheless Witbeck was the easiest thing . . . 1 1 T IT on the diamond, ana uownng was a puzzle that could not be solved.

They had a most enjoyable trip, and caught an abundance of fish. They got considerable large game,- but, like Tracy, it got away. Adams Bros, have secured the contract for constructing a 12- room residence for F. L. Miller. Work has already started. It is not known at what figure they secured the contract, but it is supposed to be a good one, as the residence is to be quite an at tractive and commodious one and will necessitate quite an outlay of money. . - ; Wallis Nash " came, over from his Lincoln county home yester day, to attend some business that will detain him here for a day or two. Mr. Coon, of this city, has puree asea tne nne tarm near Junction City, belonging to Wm Johnson, and will take possession October 1st. The consideration was $8,000.
