Mrs. Lake Casto is to leave to day for her home in Portland after a visit with Corvallis relatives 7 ' R. C. Vaught representing the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company of Portland, was transacting business in Corvallis Monday. The little daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Cordley is ill with a fev er, and Mrs. Cordley was ordered by a local physician to go to the Bay for the little patient's benefit, which order was obeyed yesterday. With several deer to heir cred it, and many thrilling adventures and hair breadth escapes to relate of their journey, chief of police Lane and Police Judge GrefFoz returned Sunday from a two weeks' outing in tbe Five Rivers country. For several years there has b en no bowling, ally in opera icn at Newport, but those who delight in this pastime now have their heart's desire, for an up-to-date alley is one of the drawing cards at the beach this summer. The marriage of Harlan Tay lor and Miss Rma Grier, occurred at the home of the brides parents on Third street Saturday evemn The ceremony occurred in tne .pre- " sence of immediate relatives!, ad the knot was tied by Rev.Handsa- ker. Mr.- and Mrs Taylor left the same evening to begin housekeep ing in a cottage in Jobs addition. , Carpenters are making chang' es that will convert the old Evan gelical church into a double resi dence.

The notification to President Roosevelt of his nomination takes place today at Oyster Bay. S. L Kline, who is a member of the no tification committee, left St. Louis , several days ago for Oyster Bay to participate in the ceremony. He is accompanied by Mrs. Kline. After the notification. . Mr. and Mrs. Kline leave the East for home returning via San Francisco. Over in the Five Rivers coun try they have a caterpillar scourge 1 ne like ot caterpillars was never seen before. Their ravages are de scribed as not unlike that of a grass hopper raid. At Frank Seits place no leaves are left on the apple trees, and the same conditions prevail in other orchards in the vicinity. The pests seem to feed mainly on apple and alder leaves, and their opera tions are confined to these trees, the damage to the alders extending back into the mountains, where the caterpillars swarm in millions. At their hall Friday evening, the "Woodmen of the World gave a farewell reception in honor of Dr. Altman.' The occasion was felicit ious and about 60 guests were pres ent. A program was rendered as follows: Vocal solo, Mrs. J. L Underwood; recitation, Miss Dora Lindgren; select reading," Dr. Alt man; solo, Mr. Hotchkiss; reading, Mrs. Skelton; recitation, T. T. .Vincent; address, Prof. E. R. Lake. ' At the conclusion of the program, icecream and cake were served, and the remainder of the evening spent in social conversation. Mention has recently . bsen made in the Titles columns of 1 he bad luck that. has befallen S B. Bain in thechioa pheasant business this year, and it seems that the end of his troubles is not yet. A few nights ago the evening was so cool that Mr. Bain feared for the well fare of some of bis half grown fowls. An incubator lamp was acco.dingly placed under a large box to keep the young pheasants warm. Neigh bors discovered the flames in time to prevent the Bain residence from . being burned, but not before the . 63 half feathered birds had been roasted to a cinder. The recent hot days in the val ley have driven still more people to seeic rue ren-esning breezes of the seaside, and the hotels at Newnort are reaping a bountiful harvest as a result. Every place i full, and the number of campers this season is tar greater than the number has been in former years. The bay ward travel began earlier this sea son than usual, there having been ' about 85- passengers per day out of Corvallis, against 20 at this season the last two years. The small train that is to be an attraction at New port this year is not yet completed , duc mere is no lacic ot a musement and entertainment for every one at this opnlar place.

The stomach that which MrNjiick-. ard has been suffering for sometime, and for the cure of which he has visited California and employed the best medical skill, is sgain consid erably worse, and it is in the hope ft hud in g reliet tbat the Portland journey is made. The paternal ancestry of Wash ington was English, as well as that of the two Adams, Madison. the two Harrisons, Tyler, Taylor, Fill more, Pierce, Lincoln, Johnson, Garfield, and " Cleveland. Van Buren and Roosevelt came of Dutch ancestry. Monroe, Grant and Hayes of Scotch, and Jefferson of Welsh, while Polk, Jackson, Bu chanan, Arthur and McKinley were of Scotch-Irish. Main street was agog yester day with the report that the Benton Mills has passed into the hands of a new owner, but up to the hour the Times went to press in the af ternoon, no money had been paid, no papers had changed hands, and no deal had been finally closed. It is, however, a fact that negotiations have been pending for several days, and that there is a prospect that a change in the ownership will -take place. It is known that such is the occasion of the visit of R. E. Gibson to Corvallis. - August Fischer is conducting negotiations at the pur chase end of the line, but whether for himself, for the Corvallis Flour ing Mills Co., or for other parties has not been announced. The pres ent owners of Benton ; Mills are Punderson Avery, R. E. Gibson and "John Rickard.' - Chief Lane has a reputation now as a hunter and rifle shot- On the trip to Five Rivers with Judge Gref foz, he slew two deer to the Judg es 0. One of the deer stood across the river as the two city officials were enroute to visit the Flett fa mily. The chief got speedily out of the wagon, and without waiting to take a rest, blazed away and the deer iell dead. That was the first exploit of the kind in the history of the chiet. Ihe river had to be wa ded to reach the quarry, but the ju dges account is that Lane forgot all about rheumatism and went through the stream like a fairy or a fisher man. The second deer was killed by the chief while it was running at full speed, and, :. deponent says, with the sang froid and coolness of a hunter who had killed them by hundreds. are Questions nobody seems able to answer. Many peelers and owners ; of bark would like to ;:. have the problem of future prices foretcJd. Some of them have tons of jthe product, and a change of a single cent for the better or for the worse, means dollars and dollars to them. The skyrocket prices of , last jfyear are a still green memory with them. Some of them last year : lost flarge sums of money, by selling toegsoon. Others made little fortunes far - the first time in their lives, hold ing long enough to catch tie' big figures. The hope that a Isecond. boom in "bark ; prices may f come again this year and the desire to get the most possible out of t, puts the peelers on the ragged ' fdge of uncertainty, where they 'will stay nntil another boom comes, or un til the season ends. f Only small lots of bark are being sold at the lower figures of the present. A peeler in need of sup plies or cash, occasionally sells a load or a ton., or a fraction fof eith er, to meet necessities. Occasional ly a smaller holder sells his entire stock, partly for the same treason, and partly in the belief that Vo bet ter figure is to be expected. V The total of these sales makes . chit a small portion of what sales haveVag gregated at the same time in form er seasons. - : No local dealer believes that there will be this year' a repetition of the firework prices of last season. There is not a bit of doubt on that point. It is not believed that any of them are buying and' holding for . a rise According to their accounts, no less than 98 cars of chittim were ship ped East from the Northwest chit tim forests last year. According to the same authority, but fifty cars of the bark are consumed in the At that rate, the shipment last season was sufficient to meet the requirements of the patent medicine men and chemists for two years. Added to this, it is reported that the forests of western Washington willy ieldthis year an enormous quantity of bark. One authority estimates that this yield will pass into hundreds of car loads. The supply there is said ti be so great, that peelrs and m'ddle men are selling bark freely at cents, delivered free on board the cars at railroad points. It i-s also asserted that in many instances.the patent medicine houses are buying the bark direct at these figures, and not of big commission men . and brokers as was formerly the case. The statement is that one big and well known paten', medicine and drug co cern that paid 18 cents per pound for bark lift year when te bark scare was on, is now buying bark direct at prevailing prices. Whether in view of the above, an other boom in bark may be expect ed tbis season is a question that is shrouded over with doubt. It is possible that there are rigns and conditions that point in an opposite direction, but it there are, dealers seem to be uninformed ol them. In view of the present markets, and its signs and prognostications. it is understood that a great mmy1 peelers will not sell for the present, j Mny of them hold that if' high ! prices do not come this yeaf that thejt may be expected in smother season. They say the bark increas es not only in medicinal value but in financial value with age, and for these reasons many of them propose, if the ptice does not go to o cents or better, to hold their ' stocks. Some, it is said,' will not t lis year peel all the bark they coildpeelif they vf anted to, but becau ;e of pre sent prices and prospects vill let it remain on the trees, where it will give greater yield wheu teeled in the future. in the Times. The purpose of the proposed organization is to secure co-operation of all the people for a bigger and better Oregon, and to inaugurate a movement in that di rection The plan is in the hands of the Portland Commercial Club, and that . - organization is push ing the matter very earnestly. The information is that all the towns in the state are taking hold of the mat ter, and that many citizens of each will gather at the proposed, meet ing, whicb occurs in the ..
