Went to Local Capitalists at Four per ' Cent Good Work by Board. , The local school board has suc cessively floated the $8.ooo issue ol school bonds of the... Corvallis dis trict to local capitalists at an " inter; est rate of four per cent. The buy ers are six in number, but ' their names are not known. Two of them took two jgr.ooo bonds each, a nd the other four took one bond each of $1,000 The bonds, as -is well known are to run for ten years after which .time one of them will be paid off : annually. The sale places. $S,ooo in cash at the disposal of the board for payment of the purchase price of the Diller block. and for use in erection of the school building, : ' ' ' , The school board "has; performed a commendable public service in the manner In which it has floated the bonds. The school law pro vides that all bond . issues for the district shad first be" offered the state school-board for purchase at a five per cent interest rate. The lo cal board ascertained that local cap italists would take the bonds , at four percent. Then they followed the school law to the extent of of fering the issue to the state board at lour per cent. ,To this offer no answer was received. Thereupon the board closed a deal with the lo cal capitalists for sale of the issue on a four per cent basis. Of course, the school law is partially violated by the act, but the penalty fox the offense is only a fine from $io to $ioo, while the sale of the bonds at a four per cent instead of a five, per cent rate will effect a saving to the district during the period the bonds are to run of about $1,300. The board figured that it would be bet ter to violate the law and pay the fine ratherNthan to let the bonds go at the higher interest rate. CUT OFF HIS LEG. His Foot Ground to Pulp in , a Horse v Power An Unfortunate Accident. A distressing accident occurred near Elodgett last Tuesday morn ing. The Spencer Brothers' thresh ing machine, was operating on the Groosky farm in the vicinity. The machine is driven by an old fash ioned power, drawn by horse3, of which -A. E-": Needham was the driver. , Operations were nearing an end at the place, and the' power was moving at only about half speed Needham was sitting down on the power, when a little son of Eli Spencer mounted the platform and began to' ask questions about ' the machine. In some way Needham's right foot slipped from the platform newand dropped so that it was caught between the cogs of a bull pinion and. one of the large wheels. There it was ground almost to . pulp by the terrible enginery before the ma chine could be stopped. The in jured man was ' at once taken to Blodgett station by ; Eli Spencer, and was brought by train to Cor vallis, where in the afternoon, the limb was amputated two and a half inches above the ankle, Dr. Cathey performing the operation assisted by Dr. Pernot.' Mr. Needham is now at tha home of Mr. and Mrs j Lee Henkle, where he will remain for probably another week:' The injured man is the step father of Miss Mabel Abbe, who graduated last June from the Agri cultural College. He is 43 years of age. and has a wife and several step children. He owns a ranch in Turn Turn. C 3 ' . g' ABSTRACTED FIFTEEN DOLLARS. silvern Boots $3.00 The Famous Shoe for Women.

The accumulation of debris through sever al years has been such that, the free fl.jw of water'and tbe . drainage inci dent thereto has b-?en more or less obstructed. The city originally built this portiou of the ditch and the duty of keeping if up devolves on the city. About 850 has so far been expendec ia the -work, and more wijl be required. A section of the ditch below Job's ad dition also needs cleaning out, and the general opinion is that that work will devolve on the college people. :, Shortly after Dave . Howard's house- burned about a year- ago a crowd of his Modern Woodmen neigh bors wentout one day and assisted b'im to partially rebuild. Among the work men was J. W. "Simmons) state deputy of the order. While he was at work there, Mr. Simmons lost a fine gold emblem ring which had . been present ed to him by his camp on his ', depar ture from the East some years ago. It was of course highly prized bv him. but diligent search at the-time failed to reveal the treasure, and it was re gretfully giverf up for lost. Wednes day Mr. Howard a children went un der the house to recover a ball which had rolled there, and one of them found the lost ring. Mr, Howard Knew that the ring was the property of Mr. Simmons and he will at once forward it to the owner. The receipt of the ring win doubtless be a happy surprise to Mr. Simmons . ,-. ..v'-. -: -; , - The late athletic evolutions of chittim recall to old timers 'the days when the well-known bark first came Into general notice. This was twenty five years ago perhaps, when Nathan Siillson, who lived then at the foot of Mary's Peak, took an Interest in the product. He avowed its medicinal qualities, and early; and late told his neighbors of Its virtues. . At length he converted a mass of the bark Into a tincture and went East with It, ' ex pecting there to -. secure its ' general adoption as , a medicine. Nothing, however, came of the experiment so far as Stillson was concerned, and he now lies in the state of Washington without the fortune that might-have been his, had he only known.- Stillson is a brother In-law of Steve Sampson, of this elty. , -. From Ladys' Purse And Got. Caught A Young Boy's Ugly Ofiense. The theft by a 13-year old boy of $15 from a lady who was a guest m the parents home, apdthe speedy recovery of nearly all the money by Chief Lane, was an incident ; of Thursday morning: In the pro cess of recovery, -there was a flight of the youngster and pursuit by the chief which nearly reached .tbejprc; portions' of a foot race. f The lad on account of his ex treme youth shall, be . nameless in htbis article. There was a . lady guest at the family , home The boy abstracted a $10 and eT$5 piece from her purse. . Within a short time the theft was ' disepvered . and reported to Chief Lane. The: lat ter found but that a $5 , piece had been offered for exchange at Starr's by the boy in ' the family, ' The boy was: at the moment on the street in company with another lad. The chief began to - follow them The boys noticed, him, and at the first opportunity dodged around a corner and fled.; The chief fol lowed in good order, and after two blocks of pursuit, the! boys were caught, hidden, under the O. R & N. wharf. ''. '.-"' The flight was evidence of guilt, and the chief at once called for "that money," ' "What money?" answered the guilty youngster. the chief, and after, a short pause the little hand of the lad went into his pocket and brought out $2.50. "Give me what you have got,'' said the chief to the other lad . The latter fished up $1.05 and handed it over to the officer. He was then dismissed, and the chief turned his I attention to the boy who had taken j the money from the ladies purse. Within a few minutes there s had been a full confession of the facts, and all of the money except 55 cents which had been spent, - had been recovered. . . . The moral in the story is plain. youngsters who take another s money or property are sure sooner or. later to get caught- at it, and then trouble comes. The lad in question escapes the reform, school chiefly by reason of the indulgence of the officer, - - -.- . " . For Sale. 400 fullblooded ewes. 20 ' bucks. .. Durham cows and heifers.
