GRASSHOPPERS TOOK IT
A Small Field of Fine Oats a Few
Miles North of Corvailis.
According to the statement of
A R Locke, six acres of oats on the
farm of Alfred Bicknell, north of
Corvailis, has been almost
destroyed by grasshoppers. Samples
of the ruined oats, together with a
spray of thrifty oats from an ad
joining field were brought, by Mr
Locke to the Times othce, where
they are to be seen. The heads of
the damaged stalks are almost as
bare of grain as if they had been
run through a threshing machine,
and indeed, look like they might
have been picked up from a straw
pile.
On one there was not a grain,
and on another there was but one.
On a third there were two Or three
on what had been the middle of the
head, and on still others there were
two or three at the extreme end.
In each instance' the stripping has
been done so effectually by the hop
pers that all that was left of what
had" been a fine crop of oats was
hopeless wreck.
It was estimated by Mr Locke
that oats in the adjoining field
would yield sixty bushels per acre.
The handfull of stalks from the
field now at the Times office is as
handsome a specimen of grain as is
often seen
Mr Locke says the ravages of
the hoppers are not confined to the
oats field. They are eating the
corn in the vicinity. The leaves
are stripped from the stalks, and
tassels are bitten from the ears and
dropped to the ground. The leaves'
on potatoe vines were also disap
pearing before the hungry horde of
hoppers, and even milk weed is
stripped of its foliage as complete
ly as though done by the hand of
an artist in such matters.
The instance is the first of the
kind that has happened in the lo
cality, and the neighbors are wond
ering if Oregon is to be Kansas
ized. OLD LUMBER SOLD
'It Went at Auction and There
Were
Several Buvers.
The refuse lumber from the old
Mary's river bridge at Corvailis
was sold at auction Wednesday af
ternoon. About $6o-worth of it
was used. by the county in the con
struction of two bridges on the
Fischer mill and Cemetery road.
The balance was sold to the high
est bidder. Several bidders were
on the ground, and R M Gilbert
acted as auctioneer. R C Kiger,
Mr Glass and others were among
the buyers. Thirty four dollars
and fifty cents was realized from the
sales, making the total value de
rived by the county from the old
lumber, nearly $ioo. The sale oc
curred at the bridge.
SENDING IN FISH

Richard, the Sprinter, is Himself
Again.
Friends In Corvailis of the John-son-Callahan-Rennie-
Wilson camp
ing party . have received tangible
proof that the latter are doing busi
ness with the trout in Beaver
Creek. Several speckled beauties
of fine proportions were distributed
about town Tuesday, and numer
ous families remembered the party
with pleasure at dinner time. It is
supposed that Postmaster Johnson
has got his wind after the pyro
technic race he made to catch the
train out of Corvailis, and that Jthe
vigor wasted in that .unparalleled
feat has been sufficiently restored
by rest, mustard poultices, catnip
tea and Lydia Pinkhams pills to en
able him to make a full hand with
the others at fishing also at meal
time. -
In the language of the street, and
also of the Pink Tea, it is now up
to the party to capture a deer, as
the Johnson'Burnett-Lester-White-horn
party returned home skunked
scoring the fourth record of the
sort made by Corvailis hunters
this season. The Beaver Creek
party killed three last year, Peter
Thomas Callahan having slain .one
with a shot gun and bird shot.

HIS SUDDEN DEATH
John Barnhart Passed Away While
His Wife Was Conversing
. With Him- '
At his home in this city at 10:30
o'clock jf yesterday morning, with
no sign or gasp, to attract the at
tention of his wife who was con
versing with him, John Barnhart,
father of Theo and Charles Barn
hart suddenly breathed his last.
Death resulted from heart failure
and is supposed to have been as
painless as it was peaceful.
The afternoon preceding the
day of his death,. Mr Barnhart had
been out at Agricultural Hall. He
returned home about four 'o'clock,
and complained somewhat of a
pain in the pit of his stomach.
Later he retired and the night
passed without- any manifestations
to suggest that death was so near.
Yesterday morning he arose, and
passing down stairs into the kitch
en where Mrs Barnhart was em
ployed about her household duties,
said that he was feeling better-
For sometime he remained
there, but later passed up stairs and
into his chamber, where he went to
bed.
Sometime afterward, Mrs Barn
hart entered, and began to tidy
the room. Her husband was awake
and as she worked, they engaged
in conversation. As they talked,
Mr Barnhart moved to the side of
the bed, dropped his feet to the
fioor and arose to a sitting posture.
Her duties presently led Mrs Barn
hart to the chamber door, w"here
after dusting a moment, chatting
as she wept, she noticed that her
husband was lying on his back on
the bed and that flies were on his
face. "There are flies on your
face," she said as with a motion of
the duster she advanced to drive
them away. There was no answer
and a quick glanceat the husband's
face showed that the spirit had
winged its flight. There had come
a peaceful end to a peaceful and
green old age.
John Barnhart was born in Lan
caster county, Ohio, in 1827. At
the time of his death, he was aged
75 years. He lived in Ohio until
1889, when he came to Corvailis
where he has since resided. He
has been for 46 years a member of
the Odd Fellows, havingjoined the
order in 1856.. The funeral will oc
cur at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, and
will 'be under the auspices of the
fraternity of which he was so long
a member. The survivors are, the
widow, and two sonSj Charles and
Theo Barnhart, and a daughter,
Mrs Clara Newman of Everett,
Washington.
WOMAN DOES IT
Makes 25 Miles Every day in Rowboat
to Sell Vegetables.
Nearly every day a small row
boat, pulls into the docks at New
port, and thereby hangs a story.
The boat is always heavily laden
with vegetables on arrival, and
when it departs, it sometimes car
ries a sack or two of mill feed or a
few packages from the stores. It
generally arrives in the morning,
and departs with the first turn of
the tide, up stream.
The person who pulls this boat
backwards and forwards every day
is a woman. Apparently she is in
the twenties, and though her size
is far below ,that of an average
man, she sends her boat through
the water as swiftly and handles
her oars as dexterously as the best
of them. With independence and
confidence, - she pushes ahead with
her work and the long pull over
the Bay and river at which many
a man would shudder, she accom
plishes with apparent ease and pal
pable grace.
The lady is Miss Minnie Oram
She lives near Toledo, and .there
she cultivates a garden, the sur
plus vegetables from which she
markets in Newport. The distance
between the two places is 12 or 13
miles, making about 25 miles for!
the round trip. Ordinarily, she
pulls her iboat from one place to
the other in abont two hours, which
is as quick if not quicker than
horse could make it over the moun
tain road. ; ,
For her industry and enterprise
the """young1 woman gets a snug
profit. Her example is one that
many a man in Lincoln, in fact in
all other counties, except Benton,
might follow with profit . to them
selves and the country.
