A Urge cluster of red raspberries upon
one of this year's stalks wai brought
into this office yesterday morning by 6.
V. Wilkins, This freak of nature may
have happened before but it is so un
usual, it has excited mora than ordinary
comment. It, is weil known that, or
dinarily, raspberries, blackberries, and
the like require two years to mature,
and need excellent care even at that age
1o bring good results. Mr. VVilkins has
fonr rows of these raspberries and the
stalk from which the berries were taken
was the stionjiest and most favorably
.located of all. Corvallis Gazette.
niG PUMI' FOR MINB.
'Grant's Pahs, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.)
The Golden Driit Mining Company lias
just received at Grant's Pass three car
loads of machinery, consisting of five
400-horsepiwer turbine water wheels,
fittings of shafting and other machinery.
TheHe will be taken to the dam, three
miles up the river, and unloaded to
morrow at the company's works. There
is now being constructed for the com
pany a pump with a capacity of 9000
gallons per minute under a 430-foot
-head. This pump is expected to arrive
i in September and will be installed soon
after. This will give a water supply
sufficient to work the mine continu
ously. Oregonian.
PORTLAND 4 SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
It begins to develop that the Portland
A Southern Electric Railway Company,
which proposes to build an electric rail
way line between Portland and this city,
the work of securing the right of way
and the making of the preliminary Bur
vey for which is now being prosecuted
by L. B. French, agent for the corpora
tion, is a much larger institution than
was at first supposed or realized. Aside
from its building a line from 8alem to
Portland, with the possible ultimate ex
tension to Eugene, it is now learned
that the company intends putting out
"feeders" or auxiliary lines in all direc
tions from tne main line to every Im
portant point in lh Willlainette valley,
tliu' tapping every section of this broad
and rich region and making it possible
to unload the products thereof either
into Poitland or Salem f'irect, a thing
which has not hitherto been altogether
anticipated or dreamed of, but which is
the most welcome news if true. Salem

SALEM TO HAVK LINKN MILL.
Salbm, Or., Aug. 8, "You may quote
mt) as saying that a linen mill will be
established in Salem, be in operation on
or before February 1, 1905, have an av
erage capacity of 40,000 yards of linen
material each week, operate perpetually,
and employ, for the first year at least,
100 hands.
"In the beginning it is contempla ed
that only coarse materials, such as crash
and cordage, will be manufactured, but,
as the industry develops the scope and
quipment of the mill will be added to
until the very finest of linen clothB, laces
and cordages may be turned out. Fur
ther than this I urn not prepared to say
an) thing, as details of the arrangements
are still uncertain, and I am not at lib
erty to disclose at present the plans of
the men who are behind me in the en
terprise."
The foregoing declaration of Eugene
Bosse, who is head of tne development
of the fUx fiber industry of the Willam
ette Valley, assures the location of a
linen mill here, whereby Mr. Bosee's
fond ' opes, after two years' hard work
and worry, are about to be realized.
Ever since Mr. Basse came to Salmi, in

' If f sJST Make
the Spring of 1902, at that time under
the employ of an Eastern corporation,
he has been growing experimental crips
of flax, reducing it to fiber, and sending
samples abroad to be worked up into
different kinds of material, but although
he has not failed to convince anyone
who has been interested enough to in
vestigate that the industry would be a
success in this state, he has been unable
to interest local capital in the enterprise
sufficiently to induce an investment to
ward its establishment. Now, however,
he says he has abundance of capital he
hin 1 him, although he will not disclose
the identity of the parties to furnish it
until everything has been definitely .de
cided. The location is the only matter
caiming delay. Pending negotiations are
expected to determine this question
very soon. Telegram.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

Fred Hambl'n, a young man of Tim
ber, Or., was shot and fatally injured
by a companion hunter while looking
for deer on the Nehalen r:ver last Sun
day. He died eighi hours later.
Hamblin'a companion was Alvin

charge of shot from a Winchester struck
Hamblin in the hip, ranged upward and
penetrated the bowels.

WHAT CORVALLIS THINKS OF CREFFIELD .
Corvalli3 baa parted company with
Creffield, and there is u fervent and uni
versal nope that it may be forever.
Supported between two officers, Creflield
walked out of the door of the Benton
County jail shortly after one o'clock
Saturday afternoon, and the West side
train hurried him, a prisoner, to Fvrt-
land. When the Jail door swung opt-oJ
the apostle looked into the faces of tter-
liapa 100 boys, women and men, gath
ered in curiosity to see what the man
looked like. Either from weakness or
otherwise, he walked with eome diffi
culty, and required the assistance of the
ofiicen to get along. In the three
months period of hiding under the Hurt
house, there was but little exerciso for
hit) legs, and it is but natural that they
should be shaky for a time. If he never
got out from under the building at night
to shake nut his plumage and drink in a
breath of fresh sea breeze, be must not,
during the long period of his sneak, have
once been able to raise himself to ttie
full of hie majestic stature. To have
lain so long on his back, on one side or
the other or on his face with but twenty
odd inches of space between earth ind
floor to operate in, is illustration in it
er If of the manly character of this latest
and funniest of all the Eljalis. Prob
ably no other man on eaith whether one
in complete touch with the Almighty or
just an ordinary sinner, would have de
voted so mucn time to so noble a calling,
to-wit; hide under a man's house, be
fed by foolish women, in avoulancj of a
simple, plain charge of adultery. Auy
id n with tr-e spirit of a seven year old
boy in him, would have quit the spot
any dark night, and hAve fled to some
other place where at lua-t he could
stand on his pins and loot the world in
the face. '
It is believed that the removal of
CrefTieli! from the community will give
his followers a chance to recover mental
balance. As long as he was able to re
main in comtnuuictitlon with them, and
nl ay the martyr before them, they be
came worse. It was always mysterious
to tliote who suffered from conditions
Crelfield made, how it was that his fol
lowers grew worse instead of better,
after hia disappearance. They did not
know then, as they do now, that from
his pit under the northeast corner of the
Hurt house, he was giving out revela
tions and apostolic decrees to his vie.
thus. It is an explanation of why after
Creflieid disappeared, hats and shoes
were discarded by members of (be sect,
all of whom knew of his whereabouts,
and o( his orders, it now, the taw puts
him where he can no longer commuul
cate with them, it ia believed that they
will gradually pass out from the diabol
ical influence that he seems to have
over those foolish enough to accept him
as a real man of Gcd, instead of the
mouumental humbug and viper that he
is. Corvallis Times.
