TRIPS TO BE MADE TODAY Hew Cable tor the Ferry Arrived, and Workmen Putting it in Place. -Barring mishaps in the work of repair, the ferryboat will be in op eration again this forenoon, after being laid np for a couple of weeks or more. The new cable arrived from San Francisco Wednesday evening. It has been examined by "experts and is declared to be a very fine wire. It is seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, and is 750 feet lone. Its weight is about 870 pounds. It cost 21 cents per pound, or about $150.50 delivered .attheferrv landine.v " The work of stringing the new cable across the river has rovoivea all of the past two days. Frank Weitman had the contract for stretching the rope and putting the ferry in running order, J. ne proD lem of putting the cable in place involved considerable difficulty. Its great weight made it trouble some to get into position on the top of the ferrv masts. In the process tho end of the nw cable was tied to the old one, already stretched -and: with a canstan the newv wire vea Hrace-e A across. The work, - of raisi-ntr the rote to the too of the masts was done with block and tackle. It is expected that the boat will be making trips oetore noon toaay, and that traffice will only be inter rupted again by extraordinary high stage of water.

' . . 1 OREGON A Second Edition A new Book by Prof. John B Homer, y-x "Oregon Literature' is the title of an attractive new book just of fered the public, which, as its name indicates, deals with the literary work of Oregon men. The author is J B Horner of the Oregon Agri cultural College, and the publisher the J K Gill Company of Portland. The book contains 253- pages and is handsomely illustrated. It is the second addition of a much smal volume published by ' Prof Horner three or four years ago. In his pre face, the anthor says that the ready sale the first edition met with seems to indicate that there is a de mand for a more pretentiousvolume on the same subject, and it is on this account that the new book is published. The book opens with the decal ration that the meu and women who made Oregon have already produced more genuine literature than did theThirteen Colonies prior to the American Revolution. Fol lowing the preface is a discussion of the influences that assisted in the development of literature in Oregon among which are, the influence tf pioneer life, the influence of scenery the influence of song, the camp meeting, pulpiteers, the old fashioned preacher, the Bible, climatic influ ence, college influence, the Chat auqua, newspapers and magazines, and other influeafieSi..

Mille? ;s giyfirsterpSRSk ir, tfefe volume, ' andp bis; fcaograplryi ana. selections from his productions oc cupy twenty pages, . including several - pictures, , of the well known and justly celebrated poet. Edwin Markham, author of "The Man with the Hoe" is given second place, though but. three pages are devoted to his biography, picture and selections. The third place falls to Mrs Ella Higginson to whom 14 pages is devoted. Though fourth in place in the book 43 pages is devoted to Sam L Simp son. A feature of the, latter, and probably the most attractive thing in the volume is Sam Simpsyns "Beautiful -Willamette," with il lustrations. The lattef includes scenes from the well known river at Corvallis, Albany, Willamette "Falls the mouth ot the Columbia, sunset on the river, and ; biographical sketches and selections, from many other authors; known and unknown occupy the remaining pages of the volume. Among the illustrations is, ' a group of the five pioneer college presidents as follows: B L Arnold, J W Johnson, first president of the State University' T F Campbell formerly of the Christian College, at Monmouth, S H Marsh, for 25 years president of the Pacific Uni versity, and Thomas M Gatch, president of the Oregon Agricultur al College. Another group picture is of noted Oregon poets, as follows: Joaquin Miller, Edwin Markham, James G Clark, Mrs Ella Higgin son, and Sam L Simpson. Another is the pioneer journalists of Oregon, Asahei Bush, founder Oregon Statesman; Col. W ., G T' Vault, first editor of the Oregon Spectator; T J Dryer, founder of the Oregon ian; Delazon Smith, founder of the Albany Democrat; T T. McElroy, printer on the Spectator and foun der of the Colombian, the first newspaper north of the Columbia River, issued at Olympia in 1852. There are also oups of State Superintendents of Public Instruc tion and many other illustrations. The book deserves a place in any Oregon household. If it has a fault, it is because of the presence of selections for' which it cannot be claimed that they are literature. A Frightened Horse.

' . Favorable indications in respect to the resources, of Benton . county are apparent in the success of land owners at diversified ! farming. There is also profit in cattle, hogs and sheep, and the rearing of good horses. Within the past month, more than $1,600 has been paid in Benton by one man for horses that were shipped away. John Welsh, a Tacoma liveryman was the pur chaser. Less than a month ago, he wasnn Corvallis and bought two 16-hundred horses from William Gellatly paying for them $376, and a somewhat lighter team from Walt er Brown for $350. Monday last, Mr Welsh made another "shipment from here, com prising five head of large horses. One team he purchased from John Rickard at $350; a team from Gus Logsdon at $400, and one horse from S K, Brown Jr at $140, mak ing a total of $1,615 in cash spent here by Mr Welsh for 1 nine head of horses. These horses are pur chased for use in the logging camps about the Sound. It is said that Mr Welsh will return to Benton by the end of the month to purchase a mixed lot of horses a carload if that many are available. SOME SHEES HAVE IT In Alsea A Disease. Is Infectious-hut not Necessarily Fatal. . Information, reached the college Wednesday afternoon of the pres? ence in Alsea of the sheep disease rwith which the flocks of A- W Hawley were affected last year.- The ailment affects the lips and nostrils which become badly . swol len and render eating and breathing difficult. It first appears . in the nature of pimples which multiply in number until ,the whole surf ate of the affected parts becomes in volved. Ultimately, tne pimples resolve themselves into pustules, and become confluent forming a hard outer scab under which is pus. The whole takes on a highly in flamed condition, and seems to be very annoying to the affected . ani mals. The latter rub their noses on the ground, which in turn - in creases the violence of the symp toms. ;-: '- r--;".fr y. - . The disease is infectious but' not necessarily fatal. Of '600." orSroo affected in A W Hawley' sY band last year, less than a half a dozen died. Equal parts, of icththyol and vaseline applied to the parts is a speedy . and effective remedy.' There arelso several other rem edies, some of which are less ex pensive than the ichthyol and vas eline treatment. - -1 The same disease was widely prevalent in Lincoln county last year. Its origin is unknown, and the disease is comparatively new in this country, It is often prevalent in European herds. , - Notice to Creditors.

In spite of the late work done by government engineers in - the vi cinity, the Willamette is again cut ting awSy the bank on the east side of the Willamette at Corvallis, and there is grave danger that further freshets might let the channel of the river through the farms a. mile or two to the eastward of town. Fred Blumhart brought the inform ation to town Thursday morning, and he considers the danger so imminent that he is going to Port land in a few days to bring the matter to the attention of the en gineer's office. The trouble is at the upper end of the ' present revetment. The river makes a half moon . bend there, bringing the channel in close to the east bank. During the late freshets, thirty feet or more of the bank immediately above the. re vetment fell in and has been wash ed away. The inroad lets the water in against the upper end of the revetment, and the tendency is for the water to cut in behind the piling and fascine work. When as much more of the bank at the spot has been washed away as disappear ed during the late freshets, the channel will have a clear sweep back of the revetment, and the : op portunity for the water to do dam age will be unobstructed." What tends, to heighten the dan? ger is thatbelQw the spot is;,.the wide, deegf dta.w' that makes north ward through: the Clyde Beach and Everett farms-. The draw presents a natural flow for the - channel of the river should it break through at the revetment. In view of? this the thirty feet of bank cut away in the late freshets, and with most . of the winter ahead and the certainty of future high water, the situation takes on a phase which causes Mr Blumhart and others in the vicinity to view it with apprehension. The site of the present mischief is 'near the Blumhart orchard and close to the Radir place. Concerning the matter Mr Blum hart said Thursday: "The danger is, indeed, serious. Thirty feet of the east bank was cut away by the late high water. The water sweeps in against the upper end of there- vejtment, and in time, if nothing is done to prevent, will surely cut its way in behind the government work. Once it gets a free now irom above to the rear 01 the re vetment, the water will find its way through the draw in the Clyde Beach and Everett farms. Should this condition come about when the river is sufficiently high, and swift, the danger of a shifting of the channel from Corvallis through the lowland to the eastward is immin ent. I intend to go to Portland in the near future to call the attention of the government engineers to the matter."'
