" 8-4-4t County Superintendent H. L. Mack returned vesterday from the Alsea ! country when he attended a meeting of consolidated school district No. 7, at j which a special three mill tax was voted to cover the cost of constructing a modern four-room building and a one and one-half mill tax to provide for the transportation of pupils throughout the j district. The new school house will be I finished in readiness for the opening of the fall term. J W. H. Kerr and W. R. Boone arrived home last night from their trip to Alas ka. En route to the north pole they saw all there, was to see in Seattle, and then some. Both are enthusiastic Elks and were with the antlered herd when that bunch of royal spirits invaded the Pay Streak at the A.-Y.-P.-E, They helped turn that amusement place wrong side out. They went to Victoria, hob-nobbed with King Edward's Lords High Chancellor of Everything and were prevented from bringing the Arc tic circle back with them only by the fact that they couldn't "square it" with a captain of one of the tubs going northward. All the vessels bound for the pole were turning' away would-be passengers instead of accepting them. About this time the finances began to run as little short, also, and a terrible longing for Hotel Corvallis grub start ed them for the famous Willamette and the little old college town by which Al- Floyd E. Bogue went to Dallas yes- bany locates itself when writing to terday to be in attendance at the fu- ' strangers. Messrs.

Bowen, editor of the Baker City Democrat, was in town today en route with his family to Newport. N. B." Travis, tinner for Houston the past few years, leaves in a few -days for Mt. Ahgell where he will open a shop of his own. He sold his farm west of this city. ''" - The combined harvester and thrasher of Watkins, Newman, Meek and Mc Bee is doing excellent work and is giv ing good satisfaction. It is now at work on the Bruce place. . There was a slight fire on the Roy Rickard place yesterday afternoon,' the blaze running along the right of way of the C. & A. Ry. It caught from sparks from the locomotive and was discovered by mail carrier Martin, who informed Mr. Rickard and he, with some help, put it out before any damage was done. C. T. Briggs, of Lisbon, Ohio, has just assumed charge of the Houston plumbing and shop department. He is reputed to be an expert. This is his first trip west of the Missouri and he is quite pleased with what he sawenroute to Seattle and Corvallis. Mr. Briggs' family will arrive shortly. An auburn haired cherub of masculine gender put in his appearance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Cate at 5 o'clock this morning. The young man is good looking, having the features of its mother. The father says the boy can do all but talk at the" present time and insists that he is destined to be come a city councilman or President of the United States. W. S.. Brown and L. -G. Stickney re turned receritly from a 225 miles sad dle horse trip through the mountains north of Yachats, fishing. They had some "rip-snorting" times buttheG.-T. can only refer interested readers to Hon. George Washington Denman, who met them on the road and tells of their ex periences with considerable enthusiasm. Through the Robinson-Cate agency this morning, C. W. French, of the Seattle vicinity, bought of A. M. Bris tow a four-year lease on the McBee farm, together with his stock, dairy cattle, horses, machinery, ' etc. Mr. French is a stock-buyer and bought this ranch for use as a pasture. He will be here about Sept 1 with three or four car loads of sheep. Within an hour of his purchase here he sold ten cows for $1030. J. F. Scott, mail carrier who has just returned from a visit to his father, J. H. Scott at Tangent, brings with him several apples of the "Lady" var ietjr picked last year that are now in an excellent , state of . preservation. This is a summer apple and that they are so well preserved at this time is quite remarkable. The one - cry of other apple ""sections is that Willamette val ley fruit will not '"keep" but constant evidence of the falsity of this claim is be-ing produced. Oswald West, state railroad commis sioner, who has been taking a vacation at the coast, recuperating from the shock and injuries received in a run away accident near Corvallis some time ago, returned to Salem yesterday to see how things were going at the state house. Mr. West has fullv recovered and says that he is feeling fine. He returned to the coast this morninar, where his family is, and will remain there for a week or so longer. J. T. Hummer, carpenter of Philo math, was in the city today. Mr. Hummer is a Michigan man who has been in this county since 1893. and while he remembers old Michigan with pleasure he prefers the climate here, He has taken his home -paper from Constantine twenty-nine years and has Deen a suDscriDer to tne rimes . since his arrival here. Speaking of Philo math, he says that more than a few residences are being built there this year, and many of them are nice ones. While crops are much better than was expected in . the spring, they are not quite so good as the crops of last year. A telephone message from Emery J. Newton to Police Judge Denman yes terday revealed a sad case in the Alsea country. Emery and his family are in the wilds on a fishing trip, and, confi dent of his piscatorial ability, the county recorder refused to take along any particular amount of provision. He had visions of eating trout six times a day, and every day in the week. But the fish are not there or Emery's luck went back on him and for the past ten days the whole bunch has , been gnawing the bark off the trees. . The old shoes made good soup and finally a gum coat was served as flap-jacks. These lasted well but the sustaining power was weak and finally the horse harness was boiled. This left them in such awkward shape that they couldn't leave, and, when starvation stared them in the face, Mr. Newton swallowed his pride, the only thing left, and telephon ed Denman to sent out some meat by special messenger. From the weak ness of Emery's voice as he talked over the phone, Mr. Denman concluded that it would take an entire beef to bring him back to normal health, so he started a boy off with a young heifer, with the instructions to kill her before Emery could chop a steak from her flank. Futher news ? , is anxiously awaited by friends in Corvallis. OCEAN TRAVEL LuxMry That Greets the Passenger on an Atlantic Liner. The luxury of ocean travel has reached such a state of perfection that land bred and timid passengers may almost delude themselves Into think ing that they are still on shore when they are in the middle of the ocean. ' When the luncheon bugle sounds you go in to tidy your hair. The sun Is shining in through yourwlndow or at least one of the windows, for there are two In your drawing room, one In the bathroom and one In the bedroom beyond. Tour drawing room which might be in the Winter palace, Nice, for all the resemblance it bears to a ship's cabin is furnished In old gold and white. A soft carpet of old gold, a sofa piled luxuriantly with cushions, several chairs, a table, a wonderfully equipped desk, on which rests a drop light, are at your disposal. You stop a moment to admire the panels and etchings and the hangings, which are embroidered with drooping wistaria in faint green. An electric grate fire, with a genuine mantel, lends an air of spaciousness to the room. You notice that your gowns have been hung in one closet and your blouses in another and that shoes, slippers, umbrella, etc., have been' carefully stowed away In places provided for them. . 1 The third day out, if the weather is fine, is the social height of the trip. The ship's types are by this time all fully developed. The bridge fiends have become known to each other,, and they never leave their game except for meals. There is the usual contingent that each morning comes around to tell you how early they were on deck. You have stood at the prow and watched the schools of dolphins jump ing straight for the ship, you have rushed excitedly to the rail to watch a passing steamer with which your ves sel exchanges salutes by running up innumerable little flags, and you have marveled at the land birds that al ways follow the ship across, and per haps you ask the steward to set out some fresh water and a plate of crumbs for them. If you enjoy spontaneous vaudeville the hour in the ship's gymnasium will be your regular rendezvous every morning, and aside from the fun which you will have in watching the others perform unaccustomed stunts on the frisky camel, the spirited horse or with the vibrators you will receive direct benefit from the exercises, which are the best thing to be recommended for the maintenance of sea legs.

"FLOOR VARNISH THAT WEARS" A., 1Li lk10LGir WALL PAPER AND PAINT STORE Second Street, Near Palace Theater A Glass of Capri Wine and a Statue That Nodded. The late W. L. Alden, the humorist. was one of the most abstemious of men in fact, he was pretty near be ing a teetotaler. I don't know that I ever saw him take wine or spirits in all the years I knew him except a glass of claret at the midday and even ing meals during his last illness. - During the later years of his life he spent the winter abroad, sometimes in Genoa, sometimes in Naples and once, I think, in Cairo, and usually his four or five months' residence on the shores of the Mediterranean would not cost him' more than 50. Once on his return from Naples I remember his telling me this story: "L., a brother novelist, was jn Na ples also and asked me one night to dine with him atone of the big hotels on the water front just outside Na ples one of those hotels along that massive stone embankment against which the waves of the sea often break in showers of spray thirty or forty feet high. f "After dinner we went for a walk along the embankment, and we got pretty well drenched with the spray. Soon we reached a statue, and, lo, it sodded gravely toward us! " 'Did you see that statue nod?' said L. to me. " 'I certainly did, said I. ." 'Well,' said he, 'I'm going back to the hotel and to bed before I get run in. It's that confounded Capri wine.' "So, ashamed of ourselves, back we went and sneaked up to bed. But at breakfast table next morning both of us seemed to be amazingly fresh con sidering our dissipation of the . night before, and we could not understand why we had such good appetites until the waiter said: . . - " 'Did the gentlemen feel last night's slight earthquake?'"

The giver was Dr. Manini of Naples, who was well known as a petrffler and pre server of the human body. Dr. Ma nini in offering his gift to Garibaldi said that whenever the general looked at It it would brace him up for the last fight, and across the medal were en graved the words, "The Blood of Gari baldi Is Forever Eed." The strange medal Is " preserved by the general's descendants. J Glass Jars, All Kinds, at HODES GROCERY COPPER 5 NEWTON HARDWARE CD.
