LOCAL LOBE. (AdTerdannentointbia column chaired for M the raie oUI cent per Una. Mrs. S. i T. Jeffreys arrived Friday from Cape Nome. ' Victor Spencer arrived from Portland, Friday, for a visit with his parents. , , : ' ; Miss Sarah Wilhelm arid George Wilhelm of Monroe, are visiting friends in Corvallis. S. L. Kline has just received some very pretty ladies oxfords. Have you seen them? D. C. Rose left yesterday to at tend a meeting of the trustees of the insurance company at McMinn- vule. i The quarantine of Kay Jones, the smallpox patient is to be raised , the latter part of the week, unless other cases appear in the house hold. Dr. Lee visited the place yesterday. Cal Thrasher arrived yester day from Pendleton, where he has been writing insurance. He leaves in 10 days for Yaquina on the same errand, and those who want policies in the McMinnville company are requested to notify him. Mrs. F. P. Morgan, who has been visiting her son's family in Wasco, returned to her home Thurs day, accompanied by Mrs. M. P. Morgan and daughter, Marita, for an extended visit in Corvallis and Newport. Jake Hulbert, one of the small pox patients was in town Monday. He is completely recovered from his late attack, and the quarantine on his home has been raised. He was the patient of Dr. Lee, and the re moval of the quarantine was after a visit to the place by Dr. Lee and Coroner Wilkins. the latter of whom is a member of the county health board. ' The scarcity of harvest help is causing farmers of this vicinity much inconvenience in getting their hay in the stack. On many ranches $1.75 per day is being paid hired help, and others are offering . that amount in vain, as no laborer appears to take the proffered figure.' The condition is unusual in this section, where wages are ordinar ily from $1.25 to $1.50 for hay makers. , ; , Jacob Hurlburt, who was sup posed to have small pox, was on the streets of Corvallis Monday. By relatives it is stated that his ail ment was dog fennel poison. When ' his malady was declared to be the dread disease, Hurburt went home and went to bed, remaining there until next morning. Then as he felt no illness, he arose and went to work in the hay .field," and has lost no time from his labors ' since.-' If the ailment was small pox, it was very mild in character. ' The first of the victims of "the. Creffield creed to leave the asylum is Rose Seeley. She was practical ly discharged from the institution as cured a week or ten ' days ago, but did not take final leave until Sunday, when she went to a broth er and sister at Oregon City.. At the time of her examination for com mitment to the asylum, held in the Benton County court house three months ago, "she was' the chief offi cer of the sect ofHoly Rollers. Her sister, who is in the Boys and Girls Home at Portland, is said to be prac tically cured of her trouble. ; T.B.Walker left Monday for St Louis, whence after sometime spent in the interest of the Scientific A merican, he proceeds to his home in New York. Mr. Walker's ten days visit to his old home in Corvallis, was pleasant, both for" himself and his friends, of whom he has many hereabouts. " In the old days he was a draughtsman in the O.P. of' fice, but the collapse of the compa ny he served left him positionless. He tried the stage for a season, but later landed himself in the office of the Scientific American, on which now he is a leading editorial writer on a large salary. If plans now afoot materialize, a new brick building is shortly to be added to the improvements of Main street. S. L. . Henderson, who owns 39 feet of ground just north of Spencer's barber shop, is figuring on a proposition, and has determined to begin construction as soon as such plans , and other arrangements can be perfected. Ne gotiations are pending between him and Small & Son. for a partial ex change of frontage so that the Henderson frontage will begin at the south wall of the old Fisher , brick and extend southward. The proposed structure is to be one story with walls so constructed that an additional story can be added - at any time. It will be seventy feet deep with two fane business rooms . each about 18 feet wide,. Barefoot sandals at Kline's-. A marriage licence ' was .ssaed Monday to G.E. Beers and1 Miss Steear. both of tin Five Rivers country. , y, : Mrs. Rachel Throckmorton, of Oakland, California, has arrived f r a visit-with her : sister, Mrs. Frank Aldrich. Binders are beginning opera tions in a nn ruber of Benton Coun ty fields. By the beginning of next week or before, operations in that line will be general. v Aroan Durham cow. six or sev en years old is in the city"' pound, and is to be sold tomorrow.' She has a crop off the right ear, .but no other marks' as far as perceivable. Vetch hay which started off at the first of the season at $g and $ 10 per ton. is selling freely now at $8.. The weather has been extreme ly favorable for haying, and a large amount has been cured for Winter feeding. ' v I; Children's day exercises were held at the First M.E.church Sun day. They were most interesting and included a variety of recitations, duets and solos, among the latter being one of spcial merit by Miss Dora Lindgren. A duet by Miss Rice and Cathey was also enjoyed by all present. ' ' ' ' A payment of $7,000 was made the other day by Treasurerv Bucha nan on Benton County's state tax. The balance yet to be paid $4,740. The total to be paid by the county 11 the beginning was $24,785, The balance must be paid by the first Monday in October, i : Benton County stopped paying cash on Tuesday of last week, and since that time warrants have been issued in payment of county expen ses No county in Oregon is in as good a financial condition as is Benton. Most Of them have heavy public debts, bonded and otherwise, some of them running into hundreds of thousands. Saturday, Sheriff Ross of Lin coln County conveyed Lincoln'. Co. prisoners to Toledo, where they are being tried this week before Judge Hamilton, , judge Mcbadden ap peared as Counsel for their defense The sbn now'claims the father had nothing to do with the burglaries of which they are charged.

It was just dinner time, and a number of people were on the street when the flames were discovered. A gar den hose and a few buckets of wa ter ended the trouble before the de partment arrived on the scene The blaze was caused by a spark from the flue The only damage was a small hole burned in the roof.

Morcseasiders are at Newport now than have ever , been there before so early in the season: They aremostly in cottages, but tfiere are. many guests at the'hotels. 1 he unusual influx, due doubtlessto the warmer wea' her conditions in the Valley, leads to a , general belief mat. lue comings season at iwwpon will surpass all former ones in the number of summer visitors. Thi rule of increase will '" probably5 be true of future, years also .The Newport beach is a permanent Ore gon summer resort, destined- to grow rather than wane in popular ity. It presents a variety r of ; con-" ditions, diversions and pleasures af forded by no other seaside resort on the Coast. v? Besides 'the ; beaches and bathing," it has "a bay for boat ing and fishing, it has trout fishing conveniently bv, it has deer hunt-1 ing within a few miles of the town; I The machine is for use in prepa in short it combines both seaside . ration of these cement blocks for and - mountain - - attractions, and these, with the convenience : with which it is reached establishes. New port in the public mind as a . resort second to none on the Coast, in fact superior to most all the so-called outing spots. Incidentally, this fact,' is advantageous to Corvallis, in the large stream of travel that it brings annually through the town. in the ebb and : now -of humanity seawards, provided , the town will clean up its streets, repair its side walks and present fc pleasing spec-: tacle of cosy town life to those who come and go. - ' It was a big excursion that went to Newport over the C. & E. Sun day. Three coaches were well-filled with people, and on the - return trip four were required to seat all 5 the passengers .comfortably. It was an ideal day along.' the beach. ; A light fog obscured the sun, yet per mitted a good eye to discern' ob jects half a mile distant. There was no wind, no heat, no cold, ev erything in fact climatically, was" of kind' to suit the requirements of the most exacting. Among those who went from Corvallis ; were, J. ,: H. Harris and family, Miss, Cloy Bu chanan, Miss . Anna Jones, Miss Nora Ingle,. Jack Arnold, Grover Avery, Thomas Nolan. S-X Hays, C. B. Clement, Ben Woldt. Jesse Spencer Victor Spencer and others. Seven glorious hours, spent in the Bay , off- Mill 4. waiting for the tide to flood again and once ' more float their . craft, was a delightful incident in which a launch party' participated Saturday night. The party was four in number, consist ing of Edwin Stone, Fred Weather ford, Judge Moreland : of Portland, and a fourth, whose name, was not learned. Thev had attended lodge at Toledo, and were . enroute by launch to Newport. While running at 'full speed, the" launch, collided, head on, with a mud flat, and bur ied her bow so deep in : the soft mud that all the wild effort, pro fanity and dulcet' persuasion the party could command, failed to ex tricate her. The tide was ebbing and of course within a few minutes every man in the boat knew . that there was nothing to do but to wait the turn of the tide and a sufficient rise to lift the craft from her bed of mud. This process took seven mortal hours, and it was - a long time after daylight before ,the party was again on its .way. A sight on the beach at bathing time Sunday afternoon was a group of people, carrying a well dressed young woman away front the beach. '! A bad step in crossing Nye Creek, I where it crosses the beach to enter ! the ocean, resulted in a fracture of the young lady's ankle. She was Miss Ethel Walters of Portland, j well known in the social circles of the metropolis. "Last season she was the Newport correspondent of the Oregonian at the seaside. Mr. and Mrs.. R. M." Davisson are at Newport for the season. With them, in the present instance, the sojourn is a matter of health rath er than pleasure. Mrs Davisson has been ailing for several months, and the seaside air is expected to effect a change for the better. They occupy the Covell cottage. . Richard Kiger and family are at the Woodward cottage for the sum mer. Mr. and Mrs. Callahan are temporarily occupying' the W. E. Yates cottage, next door, and the two families mess together. The Callahans hope to continue their sojourn, but may, on account of business, be obliged to return to Corvallis this week. Mrv Kiger will come out occasionally during the season in - order to supervise operations on the farm. M. M. Davis and- family are for the summer in their cottage near the Abbey House. Mr. Davis is this season main guy in the trans porta'ion of passengers between Yaquina and Newport, via the steamer Richardson. - He is cap tain of the fleet, and handles the wheel in the pilot house. Bush is first officer, and Harry is C. & E agent on the docks at the Newport end of the line. 1 'A big barge; pro vided with comfortable seats and made safer , and neater than the former craft util ized for the same purposer affords addition al conveniences when the passeng er list is large. A new facilitv j that everybody commends are new . gang planks; safe arid wide,5 which . double or treble the facilities for j boarding or landing ? from " the , steamer. Now that' it is in use, hhe wonder is, why wasn't it pro- yiaea long ago. BROUGHT TO CORVALLIS. A New Kind of Machine Is Now in Operation Something About It It is the first of its kind to reach Corvallis, perhaps to arrive in Ore gon. It is a machine that makes cement blocks for' building purpo ses. Cement, sand and gravel have come to be used largely in the East j iu the construction of buildings, 1 Even large factories are bu'lt of them, as are other large buildings. the builder. It arrived Monday, and is now to be seerf at the Colbert furniture factory, Its owner ; is J. B. Whitney,' who recently? arrived from Waterloo, Iowa. A number of sample blocks were turned out by the hew machine yes terday. They can be made of any desired size, . and almost with any finish. - It is claimed that buildings built of them are less costly than stone, and 'much handsomer, as well as equally durable, C ' ' A proper mixture of the cement, sand and gravel is placed in the ap pliance ! and7 submitted to a heavy pressure. . The purpose ot the "pres sure is to give shape and press out moisture and air from the mass. A" core .attached Jto the' machine leaves an air chamber in the block when the latter is removed. The purpose of the air ' chamber 1 in the block is to prevent the transmission of moisture through the wall when the building is completed. The new machine is somewhat larger than ad' ordinary office" desk and weighs 800, r - i .
