There is sorrow in the household
of Mr. and Mrs B. J. Casterline,
occasioned by. the death of their
little boy, aged two years and six
months. The little tellow passed
away Friday evening and was bur
ied, in Odd Fellows cemetery Satur
day. The child's ailment was chol
era infantum, and although- it re
ceived the attention of three physi
cians, their skill failed to rescue
the child from the grasp of death.
Almost every father and mother
has trodden the cemetery, way in
grief for their own child and such
must well know the deep sympathy
which is due the bereft family.
A DISMANTLED ENGINE.
Engineer Introduces Powder to Clear
the Flues..
A printer some years aso drop
ped into one of the Corvallis busi
ness offices and was promptly put
to work. He had been employed
on straight composition all his life
on the San Francisco . dailies and
he did not understand all about the
varied work required of a printer
in a country office. He had "fallen
down" on several jobs in which he
was assigned in the Corvallis print
ing office, and finally he said, "I
have come to the conclusion that a
printer has got to be an all-round
athlete to do business in one of
these country offices.'.' It is even
so. Afewdaysagoa city printer,
was given employment on a Corval
lis paper and one of the things re
quired of him was to run the sta
tionary engine used to operate the
paper press The other day the
engine wasn't working well. : The
engineer-printer thought the 'flues
were stopped up, and devised
means to clear them The method
employed was to put a quantity of
power into the fire box , when the j
machine was fired up. The plan may
have been a good one, properly ex
ecuted, but he evidently adminis- j
tered too big a dose of powder. The
smokestack and the steam . gauge
were blown off and an extravagant
leakage of steam and water ensued.
Tljere was lively scurrying to shel
ter among the employes generally,
but the printer stood ' his ground
and tried all the means within . his
knowledge to stop the leaks. He
finally had to give it up and send
for Dilly, the fixer4 who soon put
the engine in running order again.
Verily a man must be an all round
athlete to fill the position of fore
man of an interior paper. '
IN THE LAWS TOILS.
Corvallis Boys are Drank Beer and
Cut up Ugly Dido, ;
Half a dozen Corvallis youths, all
thoroughly intoxicated,' engaged in
a brawl Saturday night, that has
since been a subject of investiga
tion by the officers. They held up
two young men who were passing
along the road a short distance
north of the sawmill, engaged them
in a fight, and after scaring the
travelers from their buggy, drove
back to town in the vehicle.
Most of the boys are 18 or 19
years of age, During the afternoon
two of the number secured a keg
of beer, which they secreted in a
pasture at a spot not far from the
first of the two small bridges north
of the Corvallis saw mill, The
rest of the gang were bidden to the
feast, and by midnight, all were
more or less intoxicated. About
that hour they crossed from the
pasture into the road, when the
buggy appeared on the scene. The
occupants were a young man named
Garr, and his cousin, enroute to
Gus Harding's place to do farm
work. As the rip- passed on to the
bridge, one at the gang stepped in
front of the team, and stopped the
travelers. When his companions
came up a fight ensued in' which
one of the travelers and two or
three of the gang were engaged.
After the mix-up bad continued
for a few minutes, the travelers suc
ceeded in extricating themselves
from the mob, and,: deserting their
buggy and team, took to their heels
returning to town- Four of the
gang, after pitching a bundle of
laundry over the river bank and
destroying the hat of . one, of the
travelers, climbed into the buggy
and drove to town, where they
were arrested by Officer Osborn.
The case is under investigation by
the officers.
Blacksmith Austin was arrested
yesterday afternoon on a complaint
sworn out by Chief Lane, charging
him with giving the keg of beer to
the boys. He was . arraigned and
pleaded not . guilty. He ' admits
that he got the beer for the boys
but says he believed them to be of
age. .. . ..
A NEW GRAVE.
EOMESTEADING IT.
BURNED ALL.
Fire in the Outskirts of Town Des
troved Fifty Tons of Baled Hay.
Fire, Monday night, ' destroyed
fifty tons of baled hay owned by
ames Harlan, entailing a loss of
$500. not covered by insurance.
It also burned the barn' in which
the hay was stored, by which a
further loss of $100 was occasioned
The barn was owned by WV A.
Wells, and was located near the
Grimshaw property in the north
eastern portion- of Jobs addition,
The property was located beyond
the limits of the city fire protection
system, and after discovery, noth
ing could be done to extinguish the
flames. In addition to the: fifty
tons of baled hay stored in : the
barn, an adjoining shed sheltered
a mower, a rake and a buggy.
With some difficulty the latter were
removed from the burning building.--
,'- '-;:; "
The fire occurred about 100 clock
in he evening and was observed
from all parts of town. People in
the southern and central portion
of town supposed the bright light
to the northwest to be ' a burning
strawstack. Mr. Harlan at the
time, was at the Stholl place six
or eight miles north of Corvallis,
where he is engaged in baling
straw; and was not informed of his
i loss until yesterday morning. Sun
day, he was offered fro a ton for
the "hay, and had about determin
ed to accept. The hay represented a
large part of his earnings with his
hay baler during the season, and
the loss falls heavily. The fire was
of an incendiary origin. .
Beside his Mothers Little Orphan '
Boy Lies There. ' - ; I
A funeral that involved the buri
aljof a little boy, occurred from the
home of Mrs Henrietta Randall at
the north end of Third street at
two o'clock . yesterday afternoon
The service was conducted by Rev.
Mark Noble, and with flowers and
tears the remains of the childwere
borne away to Crystal Lake ceme
tery and there laid to rest beside
the grave of his mother. . . "S: ;'
.The dead child was a little
orphan. He was also a cripple.
Rheumatism and an affection of the
bone robbed him sometime ago of
some of his powers , of locomotion
and made resort to a cane necessary.
He was Clifford Gaylord Watts,
grandson of Mrs. Henrietta Ran
dall. ;. His mother Effie Gaylord
Watts died six or seven . years ago
at 'Astoria. A handsome marble
monument in Crystal Lake cemetery
marks her resting place. Th
monument was erected by Charles
Watts the bereaved husband, who
was in Corvallis as a visitor fo
some time several years ago. ' Mr.
Watts was a mining man, engaged
in business in California. About
two years ago, he was robbed and
murdered, the tradgedy ; reducing
the little lad whose funeral occur
red yesterday to orphanage.

home. Tuberculosis of the bone
was an ailment with which he suf

last July in which a portion of the
effected bone was removed, but
lauea to cure, lne Doy was 14
years of age. He was born at
Paisley, Oregon July 4 i88q.: He
had neither brother nor sister, and
his death obliterates a family. For

; The football men at the college
were aroused to enthusiasm yester
day by the announcement that E.
P. Jackson, the redoubtable weight
man in last spring's track team is to
make a trial for a place on the foot
ball team. In years past he has
often been solicited to appear on
the gridiron, but beyond a part
that he took in practice and the
final struggle in a ' freshman game,
has always declined to play ball.
With his great strength and speed
that comes from a superb physique
he is adapted to become a most
formidable man in the line of any
team to which he might aspire.
Hence, the enthusiasm provoked
by the announcement .that ; he is
likely to become one of the strong
men in. the line of the coming OAC
team. : y-.r--

. Friday evening: in one of the
rooms of the Administration Hall,
several men of the college met for
the purpose of formingagleeclub.lt
is several years since such an or
ganization has existed in the col
lege and it was thought that by
uniting men from the successful
quartettes of last year, it would be
possible to form-'? an--' organisation
which at the same time would be
strong and at the same time .repre
sentative of the college vocal spirit.
Accordingly an organization
Known as the Oregon Agricultural
College Glee Club was formed, un
der the directorship of Mr.' Otto
Herse. Practice is to begin in a
few days and Mr. Aerse expresses
the hope that by faithful work the
ciud may oe able to offer one or
two pleasant evenings during the
winter. The officers elected are;
President J, C. Kilpack, director
Otto Herse, secretary and treasurer

Chittim Land in the Alsea Mountains
A Rush on and the Woods Dull.
The chit im industry has assum
ed a new phase over in the v Alsea
country. The accounts from there
are that the mountains and woods
and canons are full of people who
are preparing to file, homesteads.
The plan is, whenever a quarter
section can be found that has on it
a fair sprinkling of ' chittim trees,
to homestead it. at once, With the
title thus secured, the homesteader
can watch his chittim . trees grow
and wait until the . world clamors
for physic with the same beneficent
hand that it clamored this year.
If prices are good next year as they
were this, he can peel and sell then,
if not, he can wait for another con
stipated market.
There is certain to be money in
the plan, and for that reason it is
popular. The rush for chittim
quarter sections is described by an
Alsean as wholly of " a kind with
the lite rush for timberland, A
considerable number of filings have
already been made. A part of the
business comes to the Benton coun
ty clerk, and the rest goes to the
Lincoln county man. A smart
sprinkling of filings have already
been made. The filer cannot lose
to save his life. It costs him about
1 8 to file his preliminary papers,
and he has seven years in which to
prove up. This is the sum total
of his expense for the seven years,
or until he comes to prove up. and
it he has a couple of good chittim
trees, or even pne of unusual size,
the bark f rom it or them, will foot
the bill, at present prices. It - is a
sure-thing business, and it is not
surprising that the woods in the Al
sea country are full of men hunting
homesteads.
It is said that the land of some' of
the homesteads on which filings
have been made stands at about
half pitch. A man might make a
false step on one side of his home
stead and pick himself up on the
other, barring the accident of col
liding with a tree or being tangled
in the underbrush on the way down
That makes no difference, howev
er. since it is on the norm slope ot
a marshy hillside, near perhaps the
source ot a mountain stream that
chittim flourishes best and , it is
chittim that the world and the
homesteader wants. .
