The bullet from the 30 30 Winchester pierced both deer, killing them instantly. Brownsville Times. The rear guard of tbe biggest drive of sawlogs ever brought to the Corvallis sawmill arrived Saturday. Tbe arrival makes an aggregate ot nearly five million feet ot fir logs that has recently reached the local saw mill. In large part, the logs are Booth-Kelly timber that got away from tbe Lane county people during tbe high water ot last winter. They were subsequently gathered op and sold to E. W. Strong of this city, The last arrival is said to represent an investment of over $8,000. They are sufficient to keep the local mill supplied with logs tor a year's run. This week, a 10,000 gallon water tank, the top ot which will be ninety feet in the air will be in position to proteet Monroe from fire and supply the metropolis ot Southern Benton with water. Tbe tank was manu factured by Sbeasgreen & Buxton, and has already been shipped to Monroe. It Is ten feet deep and fif teen feet in diameter. The water will be pumped - by a force pump to which' the motor is the water power that runs tbe Monroe Flouring Mills. Tne flew fixture Is owned by A. Wit- helm & Sone. Tbe bottom has apparently drop ped out ot the cattle matket. Ed Bel knap of Bellfountain, sold a carload of choice beet cattle the other day at 2 1-4 tor steers, and one and three-fourths for cows. The steers average over 1,100 ia weight, and all are declared to have been in prime condition. The talk is that the local price tor ordina ry beef is one and a half to two cents. It explanation is wanted tor the con dition, it Is probably to be found in tbe fact that beef steaks and roasts, all over the United States, are so' high priced that millions of people are simp ly unable to eat them. This lessens the demand, that makes an over-supply ot cattle and the price goes down. Steaks in many cities of the East cost 20 cents per pound, and people simply cannot afford tbem. The meat trust is making its millions a yea r mean time, while campaign orators explain how it la that trusts are a good thing.
