A visitor this week at the home
of Marshall Miller is Frank Miller,
of Rickreall, Polk county
Ed Collins, of Columbia county,
and his little son were visitors last
week of Corval is friends-
S. L. Kline who is present
in SanFrancisco, has purcaased a
new cash carrier to take the place
of the one which has done service
in his store for the past iourteen
years.
'Doc" Jackson and family left
Monday for a three weeks' outing
at the bay. They were accompa
nied by Miss Ida Locke.
Among the business visitors in
Corvallis Monday was B. Bady, of
near Albany. He was looking for
hop pickers for his yard in that vi
cinity. Work is being rushed in tear
ing down the three old buildings on
Main street to make room for the
Henderson brick. The lumber
taken out has been purchased by
M. C. Miller, and will be re-built
into a large barn ou property belong
ing to Mr. Miller, in Job's Addition.
Everyone who comes will have
a good time. All are invited. The
place is the reading room parlor,
the hour three o'clock, and the day
Thursday. It is the regular mon
thly meeting of the W. C T. U., j
and features of special interest have
been prepared.
The ordinary estimate of thresh
ing machine men is that the fall
' sown wheat this season is only
about 10 per cent, of the usual
yield. On many farms the yield
at threshing time exceeded expec
tations of the owners.
The contracP has been awarded
Charles Heckert for important im
provements to be made to the dwel
ling of Mrs. Ann Smith two miles
south of town. New foundation,
new roof, a large porch and new
windows throughout are features of
the plans. . . Work is to begin in a
day or two. " "" '
Report has it that the contract
has been awarded for important im
provements to be made to the build
ings occupied by Hustons hardware
store and the Graham & Wells drug
store, aud owned by M. S Wood
cock. The plans contemplate new
floois, raised ceilings and modern
fronts for each building.
His friends who are not ill
formed have been wondering for the
past three days what has bappsned
to Ueorge Lilly . Mis countenance
wears a perpetual grin, and if he
were a candidate for office he could
not grasp more cordially the hand
of everyone who passes the time of
dav with him. It is a son, born
Sunday.
A runaway team was a sight ou
Main street early yesterday morning.
The horses started at the Wheeler
wagon shop, ran down Main street
and on north to the Walter Taylor
residence, where they were stopped
by Mr. Taylor. The outfit belonged
to Ed Smith, dcliveryman for J. R.
Smith and company. No damage
was done.
Chittiui is five cents in A1sea
and five and a quarter in Corvallis.
Forty,-tons of the Alsea bark has
been sold at prevailing prices. The
total product of the Valley this year
will be in the neighborhood of 250
tons, or about 20 car loads, and the
statement is that a large portion of
it will be sold. An equal amount
of the bark will not be peeled this
year, awaiting a future season and
a better figure.
News from him is to the effect
that Bey Rickard, who recently
underwent a surgical operation in
the Good Samaritan hospital of
Portland, is not doing as well as
had been hoped for. Just what the
reason is for his slow recovery is
not stated, although it is probably
due to the fact that Mr. Rickard
suffers much from stomach trouble,
for which an operation may yet be
necessary.
Recent real estate transfers on
record at the recorder's office are:
