The switch was not thrown far enough over and." the front trucks and one pair of the driv ers on thejacomotive were derailed. By use of various devices and an hour of time the haavy machine was'again - landed on the track and the train proceeded on its way. - r . Miss Edith Gibson arrived from Boston Tuesday evening. For three weeks after her return : to Boston l last Augusti she suffered with a viol ; ent attack of malarial fever, and up to present, is not wholly recovered from the effects.

Jos Is the American name of the - Chinese Cook on the government snag boat, Mathioma. On a previous oc J casioo Thk Times had something to say of his ingenuity to the con .. , . struction of a miniature boat run by deck work. Since that time he has : evidently improved his skill. Now he presents for the admiration of his vlsit ' . - ors a perfect model of a war cruiser, bullt;almost entirely of tin,wlth turret ed guns, conning towers, etc. Its mo tive power is four dry batteries, the force of which is transmitted to a three-inch propeller. The craft Is two t and a half feet in leugth and eight inches wide. When Joe sends It out for a cruise on the river, he accompanies it with a skiff to see that it does not run away and get wrecked in the rap . Ids. The boat is equipped with re versible machinery and necessary switches, ' . ; s Arrangements are practically com plete for the reception to be given by the Ladies Coffee Club on New Year's dayv The hours will be from, three to - six p. m.

Some merchants declare the late Christmas trade to have been the best in years, and othars complain ot a falling off. It is probable that the av erage Is something above the usual. It ought to have been, considering general conditions. ; Bev. Father Jurek, who is to go t; a mission in Washington, Is to 'leave about the middle of the coming month. The mission embraces several coun ties f between Chehalis and Seattle, and Father Jurek U to be lu 7 charge. He has been nine years In the Corvai lis parish, AHd is deservedly popular with his congregation and others who regret his depai ture. The delayed Eastern mails reach ed Corvailis on Christmas day, Tnere was a huge mass of the matter, and it took the Increased force of clerks In sue poiouii;B juiu mo utieiuuuu to complete the distribution. . While the I ,r , ii j, i concresated. outside, waiting for let- ! ters and Christmas packages from far away friends and relatives. 1 , Mrs. F. P. Sheaegreen has been .H financier for the Corvailis Degree ot Honor during the past six years, and she has qualified to serve during the ensuing year. - As a mark of their ap preciation of Mrs. Sheaegreen's serv ices, members of the organization, at their regular meeting Tuesday even ing, presented her with a handsome chatelaine purse. The presentation was made by Mrs. Sarah Moore in a few appropriate words, which was re sponded to by Mrs. Sbeasgreen in her usual happy manner. ; At the home of the bride's par ents, in Job's addition, on December 24th, 0. B. Franklin and Miss Clara Blakeslee were united in marriage, Bev. U, O. Deck, of the Evangelical church, officiating. The bride is the third daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. C. L.

He is a machinist and e- leetrical engineer and holds a good position at Anacortes, for which place the bridal pair e tarted immediately af ter the ceremony and which they ex pect to make their future home. Complaints have been heard, find ing fault because the boys who broke into Dunn s store were , not punished. Of course it is always the other fel low's boy that the public wants - the law. to fall on. That . always makes fault-finding. As. to enforcing a pen alty, it is always necessary to have a prosecuting witness, ana wnen Mr. Dunn drew out of it, the wheels of joe- tlce were clogged.- In -the state's at torney's office, it is understood, that as the investigation proceeded some of the boys who squawked, subse quently went back on their confes sions. As to those who complain, it is probable that it they will make complaint and furnish sufficient evi dence, conviction can be had. . As to the boys, the complaint bow made is a warning for them. ' Feeling has been aroused, and the next escapade Is sure to result in an unpleasant ending. Notice to the Public.

" '- . So he did. ' When he "awoke he piled into his wet trousers without ever stopping to look at his watch. He stole out on, tiptoe and took the road for town? It was dark as a stack of black ats outside, and there was water everywhere. Ev ery ditch was running bank full, and every slough In the road was a raging torrent. George Erastus managed to fall into them all. He cooned fences and crawled over biidge9 in the dreary attempt to avoid the swollen streams, but even this was hazardous business, as George Erastus realized many a time. ' - For about two hours, as near as he was able to judge, George Eras tus waded and walked and swam, and then arrived ot the outskirts of. Corvailis. In the town, no beacon light was burning, save that of the flickering street lamp. No light beamed a welcome from his chamber window, or sent out a thrill of de light from the cozy kitchen. In side the house there was the sol emn stillness of the night, and the door was locked. George J2ras- tus' voice was thick with the water he had swallowed, and the driving! and beating, rain made morenoisel than could he. It was a long, long time, a very long, long time to George Erastus before he finally awakened the family, and got in side beyond the reach of slough water, and the stalking ghosts of half-drowned men. After his family had bailed. him. out and partially restored his cir culation, George ErasfuT enquired the time, and was solaced with thft news that it was about four a. m. and that he hid ieft Dixon's at two about four or five hours earlier than was his purgjse. ... - Ti tie Public, Beginning Jalaary ist, the TWJ? raar Icf Ayrrr - " " J" " .
