The affair was the third in' a series of parties given the class, the first 1 : . . a, t t j Graham and the second at the residence of Mrs. Carrick.

Thieves entered the gun store of Hubert Hodes Thursday night, and arried away small ' arms and ammunition in a considerable quan tity. About a dozen revolvers, eight or ten wajxbes, pistol cartridg es of all calibres and manufacture, a lot of cutlery, two. base balls and various nick nacks were among the booty. ; t Entrance to the establishment was earned throueh a side door in the rear of the building. A hole, six inches long and four inches wide was cut ia the panel of the door. It was sufficent in size to admit the hand, and reaching throueh. the thief easily removed the fastenings and opened the door. A strange fact connected with the affair is that a similar attempt was made last Tuesday night. Then, the hole in the door panel was star ted, but for some unknown reason, the thief gave up his work with-out entering the building, having sucr cceeded whenAe ceased operations in cutting a hole of the diameter of about an inch. His handiwork was discovered the next morning, and some precautionary measures were taken, but they failed to prevent an entrance on the occasion of the sec ond visit, made two nights later. The revolvers taken were of Iver Johnson and Harrington & 'Rich ard's manufacture. Some are of 32 and some of 38 calibre. The estimate is that at least a dozen were taken, and Mr. Hodes figures that their weight together with that of the large quantity of cart ridges would make a pretty . fair load for one man to carry. There are no clues. ' Everything about the place indicates that it was the work of an amateur. Parties ar riving in town report seeing a man on foot at daybreak, traveling south yesterday morning. He carried a heavy valise and is said to have disappeared in the brush when ap Broached. FARMERS WATCH OCT.: Time for: the Blooming of Canadian . Thistles Some in Benton and -: : -'-' Coryallis. . The attention of farmers is called to the fact that m various parts of Benton county there are patches of Canada thistle, and " that the time for the plant to bloom is now almost at hand. The thistle spreads rapid ly, and to exterminate it is next to impossible, so that great care should be exercised by " all ranchers on whose property the pest appears, only yesterday, a small patch of the plant was -. found in Corvallis, and vigorous steps will ... be. taken . by- the city authorities to stamp out the weed, as after bloom ing time the seed . will be quickly scattered broadcast and much dam age eventually- result. ? It should be the earnest aim of every farmer to see that none of the plant is al lowed to get a foot hold on his place and in case a patch has already made its appearance, to set about at once to uproot and kill the same. The law on the. subject provides that all road supervisors shall be required to keep the county roads free from the Canada thistle, and to see that none appear m the adjoin ing, fields; that property owners shall rid their fields of the same, and that each inc6rporated town shall take measures to prevent : the thistle from being brought within the city limits, and .' in case such measures are not taken then the county shall collect from- $100 to $200 as a penalty for the failure of said town to provide such protec tion against the pest. OUT ON THE HILL: KILLED PRUNES. Look Here. - ; I have a Rood stock ranch for sale two hundred and ninety five acres with un limited outrange, a small house and also a small orchard.

Hawler, Wanted. And the Crop Expected to be the Worst Failure Known. It is generally conceded now among prune men that the prune crop of Benton county will this year be nearer a total failure' than at any time in the past. While some of the trees were yet in bloom Manager Johnson, several weeks ago announced that there would not be more than one-tourtn crop in the big prune orchard. This an nouncement was tollowed by a statement from D. C. Rose that his orchard" had fared no better. It was hoped that some ot the later blooms would help out ' the pros pect, and also, that the orchards on the uplands had escaped from in jury. Disappointment followed the first expectation, and it has since developed that the upland orchards did not escape. Among others, the crop in the orchard of Charles Pernot is declared to be a total failure. " The extreme limit of the product on the orchard of D. C. Rose is not expected to be over 100 bushels. In the big prune orchard the estimate is that there will be practically no crop. In fact there are prune men who express beliet of a possibility that not a drier in Benton county will be in operation this year on Italian prunes. The accounts are, that conditions are no better in other, counties. A representative of a Portland house in town the other day stated that the Douglas county crop showed as bad a prospect as is the case in Benton. Polk. Washington, Yam hill, Linn ahd other counties pre sent no better conditions. Marion claims that there are crops in the upland orchards, but Benton grow ers express a doubt as to the truth of the statement. In fact it is be lieved here that all the counties in the valley will "show the worst fail ure of the prune crop ever known. The condition is a matter of re gret, not only among prune men, but among those who are pickers in the orchards in autumn time. A girl to do general housework on farm; Clara M. Harding. ' R. F. D.
