The fact that railroads are soon to reach Central Oregon makes the land seem more desirable, and the fact that it can be secured at $7.50 an acre and is sold without any homestead requirements other than cultivation of the soil, is especially at tractive. The father of the Ireland boys has just returned from that sec tion and he thought so well of it that he took up 320 acres. He dug a 27 foot well in one day and found' 30 inches of water in it the next day. The well was driven through gravel and loose soil. He thinks that is a good country, though at present it is naught but sage brush land. -Get. Yen; M EAT Hubler Bros. We have our own special delivery and deliver to any part of the city.

Pettit, 416 3rd St. 8-17-d6 Miss Nora Miller, who was burned quite badly Sunday morning, is recover ing nicely and will soon be at her place in the postoffice news stand. The court house wood for the winter is now being put in. It took 100 cords last year. 50 cords of oak are being furnished by the Carver road. Nolan's "baby window" this week is a real feature. Everything for the baby is to be found there at least we did not notice that anything was miss ing except the baby. Something like 400 married couples in this city are lacking the one thing essential, and therein Nolan lose?. If the firm is wide-awake, this ought to be a suffi cient suggestion. A grapevine dis patch from Yachats brings the story of a postoffice clerk, a falling tree and a tent borne to the ground. The fact that makes the story of particular interest to local people is found in the statement that said postoffice clerk licks stamps in an of fice less than a thousand miles from the Benton County National Bank cor ner and that the people who narrowly escaped death ' are part of the popula tion of this fair city. As the story goes, . the postoffice man had been shooting, at a tree some fifteen inches in diameter, and decided to cut' the bul lets out, just , to see how far they - had gone. He whacked away, and on both sides of the tree, and as this tree was immediately over the camp tent he put a prop under the limbs of one side. Unfortunately the prop failed to work at the right time and the tree landed on top of the tent, breaking the ridgepole and creating as much havoc as the pro verbial bull in a china shop." Ladies in the tent fell on their knees and thus escaped injury. This camping party is in Corvallis now, and some of them have been having considerable fun out of the young man who chopped both sides of the tree in order to bring it down.

That place will be filled level with the street William Whipple, nephew of J. W. Handy, has come from South Dakota and will locate here. Mr. Whipple was formerly from Iowa. Mrs. John Smith went to Albany yesterday with her sister, Mrs. Childs, who returned to her California home after an extended visit here. - Mrs Dr. Flint has entirely recovered from a severe attack of influenza. The Flint home on Third street has just been provided with a new roof. Sheriff Gellatly, now in a Portland hospital, is improving so rapidly that the trained nurse has been dispensed with, and Mrs. Gellatly cares'for him. A package containing eight yards of chambray gingham was lost on the streets or in the stores yesterday. If you find it, telephone this office, or Mrs. W. C. Shriver. Councilman C. V. Johnson did not return yesterday with the remainder of the investigating committee. He remained over to see the circus on at Portland and returned later. Melons on ice Andrews & Kerr's bakery. 19-t3 The Elmore hotel, 4th and Monroe, is being re-opened by E. M. Drown, an easterner. He is cleaning up the place . and expects to make it a thoroughly livable place. An apple buyer from Wenatchee was in this city yesterday trying to contract for fruit in car load lots. He has a market in Australia and is buying fruit everywhere for re-shipment from We natchee. Last year he shipped 17,000 boxes from his own 140 acre orchards Flour sacks for sale, 25 cents a dozen. Andrews & Kerr's bakery. 19-t3 Mr. and Mrs. Victor P. Moses and Miss Moser went to Falls City by auto yesterday to attend the funeral of Miss Myrtle Frank. J. W. Ingle took them over and made the 32 miles is slightly more than an hour. Victor sayas he does not want to ride , that fast in an auto any more. ' M. L. Hubler and family and Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Horton returned yesterday from a two weeks' camping, trip' at Yachats. The party enjoyed a very pleasant outinge . and - return, - feeling better for the trip. They - were very successful in fishing, some . beauties being caught by the men . folks - of the party. The fact that an Albany man is in possession of one of the new. Lincoln cent pieces is not sufficient cause - for any great noise. Sam Hartsock the best looking druggist in Corvallis, has had one of these cents for three weeks, so long that the coating of copper is almost worn off. Sam is a collector of curios, and has a twenty-cent piece, a 75 cent piece, three dollar bill and a plugged nickel. This last is one of three or four million afloat in the coun try but is particularly wonderful on ac count of the size of the hole, which is slightly larger than the nickel. If any one hears Roy Raber or IV L, Miller telling about catching a half-ton of fine bass yesterday, just call him- a fibber. Thefce two gentlemen, accom panied by H.H. Hubbell and Jonce Por ter went to the latter's place yester-. day and caught exactly 7 1-2 pounds- not 700 pounds nor 70 pounds. , Raber might not stretch this catch to . 700 pounds, but Miller would. It'sv a fun ny thing about these two men; : Raber couldn't stretch a fish story if he would; though, if it seemed worth while, he could stretch anything else that came to hand. While on the other hand, Miller couldn't ' resist stretching a fish story. If he caught a "minny" six inches long, it would be fully sixteen inches the first time he told it, and sixty , the second. Just what the preacher would do is a matter of ques tion, but , he is the man who gave the correct line-up this time. Just how he came to be in such company is a puzzle. An exchange,!. in glancing over the papers, has discovered a number of cases where people have been injured in various parts of the anatomy. Here are a few cases cited: While Miss Pearl Kinsmore of East Wind, Ind., was coming down stairs Tuesday- she slipped and bruised herself on the land ing. Amos Mittieby . of Woolpost, Kan., while harness a fractious horse, was kicked just south of the corn crib; he is able to be out "again. While Harold Green of Beulah, Miss., was escorting Miss Violet Goof home from a church sociable Saturday night a sav age dog set upon them and bit-Miss Goof four times on the public' squared Joseph Tutt of Grimmelsburg, Iowa, climbed on the roof of his house' last week to find a leak and fell striking on his back" porch, causing serious in juries.; Isaiah' Trimmer of Dolbery, Neb., was playing with a cat. Friday, When the ammal scratched him on the verandah.. W. - D. .Sutton, an Oregon Agricul tural College "graduate of the class of 1909, and four years a resident of Ore gon, died yesterday at St." Vincent's Hospital, Portland, from the result of an accident sustained last Tuesday, when he fell off the North Bank Wil lamette bridge, a distance of 45 feet. In ; the fall Sutton's right ankle and wrist were crushed and he suffered in ternal injuries which finally resulted in hisdeath. The remains were taken East last -night by a brother of the de ceased to the family home in Darling ton, S. C. The surviving members of the family are a sister, a brother and the mother. , What People Want to Know 2ESSE9I' (Continued; firom page one ) paying me $1,000 per year and coming to some point in the West with a capital of $1,500 co $1,800, try to secure from 20 to 80 acres xf land and engage in diversified farming or fruit growing. You are on the ground and know the exact conditions existing in and around your city, and can prob ably tell me what land would cost suitable for such a project; also how much money would have to be paid down on such a piece of land as I have mentioned. I will consider it a favor if you will give me answers to the fol lowing questions: 1. Do all kinds of crops grow there without irrigation? 2. Do any of the farmers irri gate in your section? If so, are better crops andiruit grown in that way? 3. What kind of land can te bought for $25 per acre and how far is it from market? 4. What kind of land can be bought for, say, $50 per acre? 5. What -do you consider the best time to come to the country, fall or spring? 6. Could one coming in theTiall who wished to stay a few months before buying, secure employ ment of any kind sufficient to pay expenses of keeping a whole f am-ily? 7. How much of a payment would probably have to be made on a place costing $2,000 and what terms could be had' on the balance?
