Atkinson, the printer taken from this city to Salem several weeks ago on the charge of stealing an over coat there, will probably be released now, the owner of the overcoat having died before the case could be brought to trial. Atkinson has continually in sisted that he was innocent, or else that he appropriated the coat when he was too drunk to know what he was doing.

Miss Simmons received her public and high school training in the Roseburg schools, paid her way through the Oregon Agricultural College with her own earnings, graduated with honor and accepted a position at $100 in a California public school where she taught several years, with the result that she was gradually and steadily promoted, until her recent resignation to be with her sister, Mrs. Sultana Skipton, of this city. Miss Simmons is said to be one of the best teachers of the 'state and her election means a valuable accession to our local force of teachers. For Sale A bird dog and gun. Tele phone 204. 9-2-5t ! Peaches at $1.50 per bushel on the tree would indicate that the grow ing of this fruit is well worth while. No finer or better flavored peaches are 1 to be found on the globe than those j raised at Brigham City, Utah, one of I the greatest of the smaller peach sec ! tions, but those people are glad to get 50 cents a crate, picked, packed and ! delivered. At that price, Brighamites are becoming wealthy, the little city being counted, one of the most prosper ous in the intermountain region, this despite the fact that disastrous'rain and hail storms invariably spoil a large portion of the crop each year. It is hardly probable that growers here are charging more than the market price, and instead of this being written as an objection, it is presented only that people may understand that is that is worth while to grow peaches. Benton county has much fine peach Ground that should be planted to this luscious fruit. Razors, safety and the other kind.

Jack Murphy got too full of tam arack last night and started "rough house" proceedings at the, Elmore hotel. Chief Wells landed him in the cooler and this morning Jack paid $20 for his evening's hilarity. The increase in the fine comes because this is his offense. For Sale An Oliver typewriter.

Sporting goods, bicycles and fishing tackle at Heater & Harrington's. 9-3-tf. R. H. Houston and family have gone to the bay for .another outing. To prove that he is , fully the equal of anv Chinaman, S. B. Bane showed the G.-T. this morning, a box of cucum bers, each of which was from twelve to eighteen inches in lengtn and they had grown in two days and nights. He de fies any Chink to beat it. He also had a box of stringless beans, perfect for canning purposes. S. B. told us in Chinese lingo that Benton county ground will raise vegetables as fine as any grown on this terrestrial sphere, and his breath looked like a Chinese laundry ticket as he said it. A change in ownership of The Toggery is announced. B. W. and J. C. Johnson retire and R. C. Herron joins C. V. Johnson in conducting the business. The firm name is Johnson & Herron, and still there is "no relation. " B. W. Johnson retires because he doesn't want so many irons in the fire, and more particularly because he needs the money to put into fruit lands. B. W. is an enthusiast on the horticultural possibilities of this county and he is backing his faith with deeds. Mr. Herron, who succeeds him in the Toggery, is one of Benton county's best known young men, a citizen above reproach and with a wide circle of friends. Until recently he resided in the Irish Bend vicinity, but for some time has been connected with the two banks in this city. He should, and doubtless will, add to the popularity of The Toggery, a store that in every sense is creditable to Corvallis. The G.-T. wishes the new firm unbounded For years J. P. Fruit ran the ferry here. He lived near the ferry and dur ing those years he was called up nightly, almost, to carry people across the river. It is said of him that he be came so used to this that he could, would and did, frequently, operate the ferry alf night without awaking. A short time ago, Mr. Fruit resigned from the ferry work at least he cut out the pay but he still keeps up that night work, if the testimony of neigh- Dors may be accepted. At midnight a few days ago, in the midst of a glori ous dream about shoveling $20 gold pieces from his back porch, Mr. Fruit was startled by the old cry for help at the ferry. With a bound he was out of bed and, without stopping to put on regular costume, he made a dash for the ferry. The ferry wasn't there of course, for Fruit had moved, but he shoved a tub along the ground, grab bed the pump handle and worked like a fiend until his good wife pulled the thin garment that was flapping about his nether extremities and took him back Jto his dreams. This wouldn't have leaked out m a thousand years if a neighbor had not happened along at the time and in the bright moonlight saw the whole performance. Mr. Fruit may deny this but it must be remembered that he was asleep, so of course couldn't know anything about it.

YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY BUYING HERE NOW Henlile &' Davis Young Butchek, the Corvallis boy ar rested for stealing a Salem bicycle, con fessed to Deputy Sheriff Esch, who came after him. In making his conf es- n the Butchek boy had few good words for his family. The old gentle man Butchek, when asked in regard to to the matter, said the boy was getting what he was certain to get sooifer or later, and he was inclined to feel that the sooner was the better time. At the Presbyterian manse Wednes day afternoon the Ladies' Missionary So ciety held a very enjoyable session, this being the occasion of their donation party for bazaar purposes. A large number of the ladies were present and many aprons, bags and household joys were presented. . These and other things yet to be gathered together will be of- ered for sale at a bazaar to be held in December, the proceeds of which will go toward paying for the new Presby terian church. The ladies of the church subscribed $1,000 to that fund and now it is up to them to corral the money, At the session yesterday the President, Mrs. Whitby, and Mrs. Bell talked at some length in regard to the matter and the entire membership evinced hearty enthuiasm. Special pleasures on this occasion were vocal solos by Misses McBee and Tartar and dainty refreshments. A Hurry-Up Call Quick! Mr. Druggist Quick! A box of.

If he had brought it back with him there might be some class to the dis covery. As it is Corvallis people are still left to wonder whether the north pole resembles a tele graph pole or is striped luce a barber's. That the pole was discovered" on the 21st of April, 1908, takes much from the interest of the occasion: we should have had wireless the next day. That Cook found the re gion of the pole a haunt for wild game comes as good news to Chief Wells and Police Judge Denman. These gentlemen, who are about to start on a hunting trip, instead of going into the Cascade they will probably hike for latitude 89 degrees 50 minutes and 46 seconds.
