' .. - . .. . i Oscar Gustafson returned Saturday from an extended tour of the coast i states, Calif ornia in . particular. 'He went to look for a climate and farming conditions more favorable than that of Oregon, but did not find it. Mr. Gus tafson may not remain in Corvallis, but when he locates again it will be in Ore gon. He was in the Sacramento ai d San Jaquin valleys and was wonderfully pleased with the activity in the latter section, but found that it cost topjnuch to get in, and then he thinks 100 in the shade is somewhat warm. Mr. Gus tafson is enthusiastic about Modesto. That place was hardly on the map five years ago, but now has a population of 4000, has every modern improvement, even to 60 blocks of street paving. That is an irrigated country, and won drously rich, but all things considered the Corvallis man is confident Oregon offers more for less money. i Special Wednesday sale at Macy's of fancy stick candy at 25 cents per pound. Marriages licenses have been granted to Emmett Elliot and Grace Miller, of this city, and Henry Wolfeir and Mary Mayberry. : - E. T. Kruger, clerk at Nolan's store, left today for Portland, where he will remain. Mrs. Kruger has been at a Portland hospital some time; Two ' non-resident hunting licenses were issued to friends of M. H. Bauer, the cost being $10 each. Clerk Moses hates to see this money go into the state : fund. J. E. Musgrave, real estate man, is authority for the statement that in- ' nillTO frw Yiwiaaa -iat oka trmr num. erous. Several people are making in quiry daily, and a fair percentage of these are said to be prospective buyers. Mr. Musgrave says there is a decided movement along renting lines, and in real estate as well that is. there are a good many strangers in here looking for real estate. B. W. Johnson thinks he is about the only big seed in the apple. While fish ing at Y achats last week he landed a nineteen inch trout and affirms that in this he broke the record. His parti cu lar specimen was one of the "cut throat" variety, a fish that does not usually grow to such enormous size. Instead of sending this fish to Presi dent Taft, as he should have done, B. W. had it prepared the way he likes best and ate two-thirds of it, his better half getting what was left. Mr. John son tells another whopper about catch ing a seventeen-inch one last year, and a fifteen incher the year before and there his memory very fortunately fails him. - ' Richard Brumfield, recently appointed game warden for the Alsea country, is in the city. In a pleasant conversation at this offiice, Mr.. Brumfield argued that he is exactly the kind of man to land the game law violators of the Alsea country, and he cited the fact that in fifteen days he has already convicted three men for fishing without license and another for killing deer out of sea son. He says he has a line-up on others and proposes to enforce the law strictly. Brumfield points with pride to the fact that in nine years he was convicted but once of killing deer out of season and he . insists that spite work on the part of others who killed deer daily is responsible for that arrest. State Game Warden Stevenson will be here Saturday, probably, and an effort to have Brumfield's appointment re called may be made. ' -: Smith's New Prices Ship your produce to us.

' 8-3-tf Mr. and Mrs. Wm.; Baker arid daugh ter Hazel left today for Alsea to be gone one month. : '. Pres. W. J. Kerr, Dr. Withycombe and Prof. Lewis returned last night from an extended trip through Eastern Oregon, where they had been holding farmer's institutes. W. Tom, night watchman, took his family to Seattle yesterday and Chief Wells is doing double duty. He lets one eye sleep at a time, using the right one for night service and the left for day purposes. The Coffee Club dance last niarht was a very enjoyable affair though not largely attended. As one fair maiden expressed it, the absence of quantity was amply supplemented by the pres ence of quality. Mr. and Mrs.. W. C. Taylor guests of relatives at Oak Ridge the past month or more, left yesterday for Hubbard to visit C. A. Bareinger. They will then go east. The . Taylors are greatly pleased with this section and may re turn to look for a location. A telegram from A.- W. Moses, whn went to Nebraska or Kansas a week or so ago, says that he and his family will return here within a few davs. He ex pected to remain east but finds the weather too' hot and thiners cenerallv unsatisfactory. Old Oregon looks good to him. . J. M. Nolan endeavored to get the business men to close their stores at 5 p. m. during the month of ugust, but met with poor success. Nothing daunted he has instituted this innova tion .himself and will give his clerks the extra hour each evening except Saturday." If you trade at Nolan's just remember to get there before 5 p. m. Mr. and Mrs. Henry S. Springer and son, Jack, who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Springersfor several days, left last evenirig for their home in Philadelphia, Penna. They will make the return journey by way of Yosemite Park, Southern California, Colorado and Central Western points. They were very much pleased with Corvallis and hope to repeat their visit out here. A letter from Miss Anna' Frevler. formerly employed at this office, says that she expects to remain in Kansas City this winter with her sister.. By the way, her sister's name is William Green or Benjamin Smith, we fail, to remember which, and it is expected that when she returns to Corvallis next year she will have changed her , name to something that sounds "like one or the other.

During , a month the contractors have been fooling with the job, accomplishing little. They were unavoidably delayed for a time by fail ure to get necessary timbers but recent ly the work has been neglected. It took more than a week to get half the building two . blocks and from Thursday until Monday that half blocked Monroe at Ninth, and no attempt was made to move it further. The school board made things warm for the contractors yesterday and it is probable that the building will be hustled to its . destina tion. According to contract the build ing should now be on its new foundation. Palace Has Dog Show The Palace last night.- present ed Prof . Horne and his troupe of performing jdogs to houses that taxed the capacity of the theater, and best of all the show is worth seeing. The dogs are all well trained and their tricks were performed in a manner that showed Prof. Home a King pin among dog trainers. " The best act and the one that pleased the audiences most was the bag punching act by "Prince" . The picture program is also very good, the best film being '.'Washington Under the Ameri can Flag," which is a fctory of incidents in the life of our first President from the time he took command of the Continental troops to the summer before his death at Mount Vernon. . The film is easily one of the best ever shown in Corvallis and no doubt will be seen by large crowds at tonight's performan ces.

Placed by Order of Former Viceroy of India Above the Cenotaphs of Shah . Jehan and His Queen In Mausoleum at Agra Made by Skilled Egyptian Workman.-:' ' A tribute to the memory of Lady Curzon, who-was Miss Mary Letter of Chicago, swings in the magnificent marble mausoleum, the Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, -"it is a lamp of rare oriental workmanship of bronze inlaid with silver and gold. "... It was placed there immediately above the cenotaphs of Shah Jehan and his queen, the builder of the Taj and the consort, at whose death the beautiful structure was erected, by Lord Curzon as a silent memorial to Lady Curzon. The story of the' love of the fifth mogul emperor of Delhi which in spired the Taj and of the placing of the new lamp In the old tomb by the former viceroy is told by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. ' Installed After Evening Prayer. "Not many months ago America and England had occasion to feel more than an artistic Interest in this won derful monument to a constant love," writes the author. "Just after even ing prayers had been said in the mosque and while the sun's last rays kissed the shimmering minarets and the .shadows lingered in the eronnda above the Taj the lamp was Installed witn htnng ceremonies bv the lieu tenant governor of Agra." ' Of the event Lord Curzon, who had been a frequent visitor of the Taj Mahal with his American wife, Is quoted as saying: "I had often been struck by the ab sence of any lamn above the ceno taphs of Shah Jehan' and his queen. It was clear that at an earlier date such a lamp had been suspended from the dome. I found that the most suit able, model would be a lamp that once hung in the tomb of the famous Sul tan Beybars II. I learned that there were only two workmen in Egypt ca pable of parrying out a work of so much delicacy, and one of these, To dros Badir, was intrusted with the commission. "For the inscriution. which runs 1n a belt about the broadest Dart of the lamp,; I purposed to have in Persian script only the words 'Presented to tne TomD or Mumtaz Mahal by Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, 1906.' I am assured that no such lamp has been made since the period of the original manjr centuries ago." '.- " i. . - T ; World Understands Gift. ''Lord Curzon is silent ree-ardin tho tender and i beautiful meaning under lying his gift, the writer comments, "but the whole world understands and the centuries will preserve the poetic significance of his offering. ,: Unborn eenerations who -nasa mi the marble stairway and under the lighted lamp will breathe a prayer for the soul of the fair-American, together with that of Delhi's youthful empress, for always the mind of romance must associate the names of these two young beings who were absorbed into tne me absolute, crowned with youth, beauty and enduring love." Shah Jehan's favored wife died in 1629. The Taj. dedicated to her, re quired twenty-two years in the build ing, and the cost is variouslv estimat ed from $9,000,000 to $60,000,000. It was erected when Delhi was in the zenith of its magnificence and is one of the architectural wonders of the world. Cosmopolitan Magazine For August. . OFFER OF $500 FOR AIR RIDE W. B. Hayward After Glory of Being First Passenger In Wright Aeroplane. Secretary W. B. Hayward of the Republican .national committee is will ing to pay $500 for a . ride on the Wright brothers' aeroplane. He so declared himself recently to a group of Nebraskans in the lobby of the Hotel Wlllard in -Washington. 'I had the first motorcar in the state of Nebraska," said Hayward, and I played in the first game of golf in that state outside of Omaha, but I never was so crazy about anything as I am about the' Wright flying machine. I would be willing to give $500 for the glory of being their first regular fare." '.. Automobiles to Tow Canalboats. The first successful towing of canal- boats by automobile was accomplished a few days ago on the Lehigh canaL Owing to the liability of the towline to snap in the effort to start, George B. Plummer, a Camden (N. J.) automo bile expert, equipped a seven ton mo tor truck of forty-five horse power with spiral springs. Six barges with 800 tons of cargo were taken from Al lentown. Pa., to Bethlehem, Pa., in an hour. - Present lock capacity and speed limitations considered, it is estimated that automobiles compared with mules will handle double the number of boats in half the time..
