The states were $200. A large number of persons went out to the track and paid 25 cents fo see the race. According to the ' statement of John Wyatt, whose threshing machine is operating in the vicinity of Philo math, the grain yield in that section is considerably short of expectations. A much hetter crop than the ordinary was generally expected, Mr Wyatt said but yields of wheat and oats so far, Seem to indicate that the fall sown, grain is scarcely up to the aver age. An Irish policeman, of Topeka, arrested a sleep waker a short time ago, who had wandered away from home in his night clothing. "Surelv you are not going to lock me up," said the sleepwalker, ."I can't be re- responsible for the positlon'you found me in. I am a somnambulist." It don't make any difference what church you are a member of," said the other. "You can't walk the streets of Topeka in your shirt-tail, if you belong to all the churches In town," With a 32-caIibre Colts revolver, Ben Bratton killed a big buck near bis home over In the Alsea country, the other day. The buck is supposed to be the same one that a Corvallis hunting party was looking for up at Belknap Springs recently. Mr Bratton and one or two of the youngsters in the family were looking after cows a short distance from the house. Some thing moved in the tall fern near, and Mr Bratton supposed it was a cow. The dog was sent in and a moment later a handsome buck jumped outlnto the open. The revolver was procured from the house, and the buck fell at the first shot. AS A COOK Thomas Whitehorn in That Role New Brand of Gravy, -A ; The matter was kept as quiet as possible, but it has at last leaked out. It is a story of how Thomas Whitehorn made gravy on the recent trip to Belknap Springs. Thomas had fried ham that morn ing and there was a wealth of grease left in the pan. "Make some gravy," suggested one of the party. "Put some flour in and stir it till it's brown, you know," the speaker said. "Oh. yes, I'll make some," said Thomas. As a matter of fact the latter did not know how to make gravy, but he did'nt propose to show his ignorance in that camp. By and by the meal was ready and operations began. On a tin plate, ready to be eaten, there was a queer looking preparation, about a tablespoonfull in all. It looked like it might be two bits worth of pounded assafoetida with grease in it, and all eyed it with more or less misgivings. It was in fact a cooked mixture of flour and grease. It appeared about as toothsome as a ball of shoemaker's wax, and the diners hesitated about forking into it. "What's that?" asked one at length. "That?" 'Why, that's gravy," replied Thomas. And so it was, but it was a queer, unknown variety of gravy that Thomas had made without either milk or water. They also tell that Whitehorn boiled rice one day. He did not know that the stuff swells as cook ing proceeds, and he put too much in the pan. It began to swell, presently it over ran the kettle, and finally kept on swelling, till it ran Whitehorn out of the tent. ANOTHER FINE RESIDENCE Stone Basement, Furnace Heat and Other Modern Appointments. Workmen are laying the foun dation for a new residence that is to be built by Dr Farra. When com pleted, the building will be one of the finest homes in town. There is to be a seven foot base ment of stone, with cement floor. Four feet of the basement will be under ground, and three feet of j dressed stone above. On the first j floor there will be a modern hall, j sitting room, parlor, dimng room and kitchen. On the second floor there will be four rooms and a bath. In the attic story there will be ample space for finishing three fine rooms if desired, but for the present this will not be done. The building will be heated by a furnace in the basement. The porch accommodations will be of modern character, and all the ap pointments of the structure very complete. The site is on lots west of the Christian church. t The plans and specifications are now being prepared by Huffman & Son. and as soon as these are ready, bids for construction of the building will be invited. A LOST HORSE Escaped in the Darkness, and has not Been Seen Since. The buggy horse of Dr Rowley is missing, ana a reward is ottered for his return, or for information that will lead to his recovery. Notice of the latter and a descrip tion of the horse is to be found else where in this issue. With Roy Woodcock, Dr Rowley was at Sulphur Springs, last Wed nesday night. While unhitching the horse from the buggy, the ani mal became frightened and escaped. The, following -morning he was tracked to 4he top of- the mountain tn the vicinity, and there all trace was lost. The horse was brought from east of the mountains a few months ago. When last seen the animal wore a bridle and portion of the buggy harness, and the lines were dragging- .

A field of vetch, threshed by John Whitaker the latter part of last week is attracting some at tention among farmers- The field comprised 48 acres and the j'ield was 1500 bushels, or over 30 bush els per acre. From 32 acres the yield was 1,115 bushels, or nearly 35 bushels per acre. To make the crop more interes ting, it is to be understood that the vetch was cut with a mower, raked up like hay, and threshed from the cock. It was quite ripe when cut and it is estimated that the amount of grain lost, if saved, would have swelled the total yield to at least 50 bushels per acre. Much of the grain had fallen down and was flat on the ground when mowed. The field was sown last fall. It was pastured until May 1st, and during the time two bands of mut ton sheep were turned off of it. The seed is said te be worth a dollar and a half a bushel, which togeth er with the fattened sheep, makes the crop very profitable. Eight dollars per day was paid the ma chine for threshing, and the aver age cost per bushel was 25 cents. Mr Whitaker estimates that for hay, the field would have turned off eight tons per acre. He ex pects to sow a much larger acreage next year. Hereafter, Mr Whita ker will pasture his vetch fields un til May1 15 th. WITHOLDING THE REWARD Objections to Their Method of Count ingTrouble Among Hunters. They tell it that the Blackledge party has applied for the reward of fered the first Corvallis hunting party that brings in deer meat . The claim is said to be based on a tale of a bear and three deer cap tured by the party in a recent hunt After investigation of the claim the other hunters say the party shot at a bear and two days after ward bear cubs in the vicinity were heard squalling, and that this is the basis of the claim of one bear 'killed. As respects one deer killed the disclosure is that the party shot at a deer, and subsequently found some blood on the ground. As to the claim of a second deer killed, the party found a deer that had been dead several days, and set up a claim to the reward. As to the third deer, Mr Blackledge loaned his gun to a native over at the Ya .chats, and with it, the latter shot a deer. That is the basis for a claim of a third deer killed. Whether the other hunters are blackmailing the Blackledge party or not, the Times is unable to say: but the fact remains that the latter are witholding the reward and the statements above are the reasons assigned for their action.. It is certainly up to Mr Blackledge to mandamus the other fellow into payment of the reward, and if their statements are untrue, to sue them for damages to his veracity as a hunter.
