Yea, Maude it waa awful. Those peaky redukins just simply and ever lastingly walloped the eternal gizzard out of the Stayton team. Even now the Stayton aralps are hanging in the Chcmawa tepees and there seems but little chance of bringing them back. Aa usual, the Stayton bunch presen ted the visitors with a nice little soft easy run in the first, and kept on pre senting them with such regularity that the aborigines finally refused to swallow another. In fact they coughed up four themselves, and that is the way it stood, Maude, 10 to 4, in favor of the Indians. Below we give a fine illustration of just how the bleachers looked toward the end of the game. If you look close ly, Maude, you will recognize several familiar faces that had bet on Stayton. bA çl 0 3 3 . T o k en in tk a Last H alf of th e Ninth. The Stayton Ball Team with eight or ten ardent fans wended their way last Sunday to the city of Celestial Cele brities, otherwise known as Mt. Angel? As the writer of these lines was not one of the party, we cannot vouch for the veracity ot the statements made below. Cole had pitched his arm off on the day before, so “ Truck” Robertson was put in the box and held the “ Angels” down nicely until the fatal seventh when he gave out, Cole was tried out, no go, then Burton was sent to the slab and after being pounded all over the northern half of Marion county gave up, and the game closed in the eighth inning 12 to 0 with the Angels flopping their wings and crowing like young shanghai roosters.

Hornbuckle, Prominent West Stay- ton Farmer Stricken Suddenly With Heart Trouble Stayton was shocked on Tuesday of this week to learn that J. A. Horn- buckle of near West Stayton had suc- cornbed to heart disease while walking down Third street. The body was im mediately taken to to undertaking par lors of J. M. Rlngo. James A.

He was married to Flora Rucker in 1887. His wife died about two years ago. For the past twenty-six years he has lived on his farm near West Stayton. But two children are left, Cephas Hornbuckle, who still lived with his father and Mrs. Lena Medley of Oak land. Oregon. Two brothers, Robert of Salem and Newton of Portland, and two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Snyder of Buena Vista and Mrs. Minnie Prather of Westfall also survive Mr. Horn buckle. The funeral was held April 24th a t’ Pleasant Grove church, and interment was in the cemetery at the same place. Stayton needs a commercial body of some kind. Many questions arise each year that can only be handled by a re presentative body of business men and citizens. There are the questions of transportation, information to prospec tive settlers, inducements to different enterprises, such as mills, cannerries, creameries,etc., agitation of improve ments and a hundred others that can not properly be taken up by the city council but can be hardled in an intelli gent manner by a commercial organiza tion. Who will take up this matter? Sure ly Stayton can afford a club devoted to the interest of Stayton and vicinity. Cora and Jessie Thomas and Mar The time is ripe. The Panama Canal is nearing completion. Get busy and garet Snyder were over from Corvallis to attend the Horse Show. Misses Cora secure some of the benefits. and Margaret returned to Corvallis A C itizen . Monday. The Linn county side was unfortunate as far as accidents were concerned last week. Besides the injury of the small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hensley re corded in another column of The Mail, Dr. Beauchamp attended to the injuries of two more from the south side of the Santiam. Eph Zink who was working for Frank Pietrok in the logging camp, while chopping loose a lodged log on a side hill last Thursday, was caught by the tree and had his right leg broken below the knee. The 18-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ves. Pritchard was thrown from a buggy last Sunday evening and sus tained a broken arm. Miss Pritchard is one of Linn county’s best teachers. Fortunately her school is out at this time. AUMSVULE RESIDENCE BURNS Last Thursday night Ed. Hamman of Aumsville was burned out. One ol his little girls had scarletina at the time and a lamp had been left alight in an adjoining room. The lamp for some reason exploded and the whole room was in flames in a few minutes. Mr. and Mrs. Hamman and children barely escaped with their lives. Their house hold goods and clothes were entirel) consumed. The family is staying at the home of Chas. Ransom. Later—The Hamman family moved to Stayton last night. BANNER DAY FOR KORINEK & MIELKE considerations have selected their spring stock of merchandise, which is now arriving daily. An agricultural club has been formed at Burns, the first organization of the kind in that part of Oregon. The club will discuss agricultural subjects, en courage modern farming methods and afford an opportunity for the exchange of ideas among farmers aa well as among the students of the sgricultural department of Harney County high school.

The local fruit growers’ as sociation has been active in securing the new plant, which will coat $30,000.
