C. sprinter, for the part he took in a meet between MuLnomah and Columbia at Port land Saturday. Smithson is now, has been all year, and in fact, has been for the past two years a stud ent at O. A. C. and one of 1 her sprinters. He will be an O. A. C. man in all her meets this summer J A chittim buver was in town the other day. He wanted old bark, and his top price was .four . cents. He refused to pay more than that price. He found none for sale in Corvallis at less than five. At Waldport he bought a carload of Henry Nice. The bark is to be delivered at Astoria, and four cents is the price paid for it delivered there. It will be shipped from Waldport to Astoria by schooner. . Mohair is coming to town in small lots. The price yesterday v was 29 to 30 cents. , Shearing will be completed within a short time.. Two nannies sheared by L. H. Hawley, yielded togethr seventeen" pounds of mohair. The fleece of one weighed something over eight and a half, and the otlier a little over eight pounds. Some of the wool was more than a foot in length and exceedingly fine. The entire lot is'said to" be extra good. Some the' fleeces will probably be secur ed for Benton's Lewis and Clark exhibit. " . . "','' The space assigned for Benton County's exhibit at the Lewis and Clark is said to be unusually 'fine. It is in the main building, and at the end of a row of counties. It is the first approached by a person u passing in the building at the north entrance. It is the second best place in all the building. It fronts on three aisles. It faces Montana on one side, Idaho oa the other, while its front faces the entrance. The thing to do now is to save wool, save mohair, save vegetables, grasses and' everything else the best and let H- T. French, Ben ton's Lewis and Clark man know where to'find it. He will do the rest, . .' Work is still going forward at aliyely rate on - the Independent telephone company's lines. Tele s phones were shipped this week by Mr. DeVaniey for a line that has just been built by farmers between Kings Valley and Wren. Two lines are building from Corvallis to Philomath, to accommodate the growing demand for ' such service in that town. This week Mr. De- '- Vafney shipped to Plainview the switchboard that is to be used- in the new system just installed there. The local exchange at Brownsville has just been completed by the In dependents. Another line is being carried from the Bey Rickard place to accommodate residents of that section. "Another fact of interest is that Scio has gone over to the Independent company and has or dered from Corvallis a switchboard . and 100 instruments, to replace the Bell company's phones. : Two Corvallis men figured in a wild ride Wednesday night. They were Constable Vidito and Deputy Attorney Bryson. They left at 5 p. m.. for Monroe, and reached home sometime between midnight and morn- In the darkness got off on a wood road at one point and traveled the thing to its end. Once the horses went off a grade so that they were four or five feet lower than the buggy,' but Tom was quick with the lines, and the rig , w as stopped before it had time to go bottom up. At -another place . a big ditch running full of flood water didn't get two victims be cause the horses didn't like the looks of things in the darkness and stopped for the drivers to investi gate, which the latter proceeded to . do. ; The errand to . the Monroe ri country ' involved an investigation of alleged facts which turned out tOj pe loundationless.

" Examinations for the end of the second term were ' concluded at the college Thursday, and there is an inter-term vacation until Mon day, when there will be registra tion for the final term ot the year. Numerous students went home for a hasty visit. Local real estate men complain that a just proportion of the im migrants now arriving in Portland is not reaching Benton. The $25 rate from Missouri River points is now in effect and trains reaching Portland last week, came crowded. Large contingents of the home- seekers have reached Salem, .Eu gene and other east and west . side points, but only a comparative few have found Corvallis. Some curios ity is felt with respect to the con dition, with some guessing as to whereabouts in the woodpile is the nigger. ; : .V' " The government wants bids again. It wants to let a contract for carrying the mail between Corvallis and Inavale. It is only a short time, ago that the department was,, out on the same errand. The trouble is that under the former call for bids, no bidders : appeared, , a condition that but rarely happens when the government has a job to let. The new call is for bids to bring the mail from Inavale to Corvallis by 10:30 oclock each morninn, leav ing at two oclock for the return trip. The bids are to be opened April 4th. The specifications are to be seen and blanks to be had at the Corvallis postoffice. Ladies skirts all kinds and prices at Moses' Bros. Call and see them.

Irwin, son of the late Richard Irwin, a brother of .:, ex Commissioner Irwin, and one of, the best known farmers in Benton j county, died ,at the Irwin home, at the Buttes Thursday evening. His death came as a ; surprise to many friends in Corvallis, who were not even aware that Mr. Irwin was ill.. He was in town on Friday of last week and appeared to be. in better health than for some months, a fact on which many of his ' friends re marked during the' day. He paid his taxes that day, and was about, town in his usual sunny, jovial mood. When he went home in the afternoon, he took a barrel of blue rock targets for use in trap shoot ing out home, and to the enjoyment of which during the" day he. in vited several friends. , Under these circumstances, the news by phone of his death, within but a brief space after it happened, came as a shock to Corvallis friends. - '; Mr. Irwin was ill Monday. Neu ralgia of the face was the trouble, and a jaw was badly swollen. Dr. Bennett was sent for Wednesday, and prescribed. The trouble was ascribed to a wetting that Mr. Ir win was sujbected'. to Sunday. Shortly after the doctor left,, the patient was seized with violent pains in the stomach, and a mes senger overtook and . brought - the physician back before he had reach ed horned Wednesday the patient wasorse, and during 'the after-: J nbori.he became unconscious. His pain all this time was severe, and his suffering intense.. About' six o'clock Thursday evening; the end came. 'The funeral will take place at two" o'clock today," at the old Ir win nomesteaa. ..The interment will be in the' family lot on the farm, where the father lies buried. The survivors of the family are the mother now more then ; four score, and ill, and ex-Commissioner Ir win, the only brother. James Irwin was born on the farm on which he died,. The little old log cabin in which he first saw the light of day still stands. His birth occurred in 1854, or 51 years ago. Three years before that, his father had acquired the well known place "at the Buttes. The ' amount that he paid for it, was $30, the purchase including the right to the homestead and the little log cabin referred to above. The place is now one of the great farms of the county, comprising ? 800 acres of land, of -which 500 is till able. James Irwin ; was almost a part of this farm. His whole life from the cradle to the grave, his school days, his early manhood, and the vigorous years until illness finally seized him were spent there. The funeral today will be widely attended. The deceased was one of the most popular men in the county.. He was genial to all as sociates, true and loyal to all friends and a man- who will be widely and most sincerely -mourned. . , The cause of death was diabetes, Announcement. -; I have re-opened my shoe shop in the Marshal Miner building on Monroe street west of Herman's grt aeij, where til orders will be. promptly attended to.
