cut away a portion' o the nail and re
moved the remaining portion of the
sliver. Even this failed to give relief
and a second resort to the surgeon's

was entirely removed, . tha flesh cut
away and the bone scraped. The con
dition prevailed for a couple of weeks

LIVELY SELLING.
And Baying of .Corvallis Residence
Property Market Active.
There is do boom in Corvallis.
It. is not a boom town. Its inhab
itants are not of the boomer varie
ty. But there is in town a healthy
condition as to residence and to
other property. The constant de
mand by strangers and others for
houses to live in, and the presence
of persons ready to buy because
they have faith in the towns future,
makes residence property a stable
investment. Sales during the past
few days emphasize this condition.
Though changes of, ownership in
such property have been continual
during the past two years, more
trades were made within 48 . hours
last week than in any similar period
in a long time, . ., ;
Included in the sales referred , to,
is the Hersig place a short distance
north of College Hill. . Fred Her
sig sold it to Sam H. Moore for
$3000. The property contains 10
acres of ground highly improved
and a good residence. Mr Moore
purchased it for a home Possession
is to be given as soon as the Her
sigs can find another house to occu
py. There is some talk that they
may build a home.
Another sale was the purchase
by Mrs. Sam Moore of theJVIcCaust
land block in Wilkin's addition.
The price paid was $1,705. Within
a few hours after the sale was re
ported the purchaser was offered an
advanced figure for the property.
The property consists of a house
and a full block of lots. .. -Mr. and
Mrs. McCaustland expect within a
few months to go to Eastern Wash
ing to reside. Their sons are en
gaged in business there, and the
change of location is to satisfy the
natural demand of kinship.
In a third sale, W. A. Wells sold
the Jake Blumberg house and three
lots in the rear of R. M. Wade &
Co's. store. It went to John Curns
for $1,550. Mr. Curns was a resi
dent for many years of Philomath.
Herecently returned to Corvallis af
ter an absence of several months in
California. '
A sale of the Nicholas property
in the north end of town occurred
about the same , time. It went to
Lbn Hawley of the southern por
tion of (the county. The price paid
was $1,350. The purchase by Mr.
Hawley was in order that he might
move to town to send his young
folks to college, -v

BROKE HIS COLLAR BONE.
By Fall From a Plum Tree Other In
. juries Gus Harding.
Gus Harding, residing three
miles north of Corvallis. is mnfmerl
a$ home with a broken collar bone,,
and other injuries. The other day
he picked plums high up, in a tree.
A limb broke, and he was precipi
tated to the ground. The fall was
more than a dozen feet,' and he
landed on his head and shoulders.
When picked up he was uncon
scious, and blood flowed freely from
oneeafi For a time - it was feared
that -there might have been a frac
ture of the skull, but a return to
consciousness and the ability of the
patient the following day to walk
about in the house, dispelled this
idea. i
In the descent, the stump of a
limb that had been cut off struck
him m the side, rendering the ribs
in the vicinity extremely sore. The
broken collar bone, at last accounts,
seemed tcbe the most serious of
Mr. Harding's numerous injuries.
Mr. Harding is 59 years 'of age,
and in a fall so far, the consequen
ces might have been far more seri
ous. -. ' "; '
