Har rington a mile west of Corvallis on the Cardwell hill road, there - is a chicken with four legs. It was hatched last Monday. ' and is still alive with every indication" that it will survive the condition that made it a widely different chicken from any other poultry bird on , earth. The extra pair of legs is located half an inch or more to the rear of the regular legs. They are some what smaller and a little shorter. They are not used in walking, but are perfectly developed in every particular. : The baby bird itself is apparent ly a healthy creature with plenty of appetite, and agility in stowing away food.' It is not quite " so large as some oi its nest mates, but is apparently in line for future 'growth and a career of promise. It attracts general attention and in terest at the hands of the family, and undoubtedly, its career will be watched with some interest by a wide circle of people. .-" The little four-legged wonder is of the Buff Leghorn . family.

Bat not to Begin : at Corvallis Will ""not Reach Here' lor Several "Days." The dredger that is so much needed on the upper Willamette to dear away some of the bar impedi ments to steamboat navigation has' finally started out of . Portland. An article from the Portland Journal, printed below gives the facts. Side information is to the effect that it may be as much as 30 days before the dredger, reaches Corvallis. Meantime the Oregona is still mak ing regular trips. She made her way to Portland Monday with 40 tons out of Corvallis leaving here on 14 inches of water, and drawing 20 inches. Theiate rains have re sulted in a. sudden rise in the Wil lamette and there was yesterday morning three feet, and five inches, which is good boating staee. The article from the Journal is as. fol lows: -. 'y ; '0 '.-''..''.. Dredging operations on the upper Willamette river will be started to day and continue' until next fall. The initial work will be done . at Clackamas japids, the government upper dredge No. 2 having been taken up thsre for that purpose. . There are fully a dozen bars on the upper river which will require more or less attention. - Some are of considerable length, and it will take several weeks ta cut" channels through them. The worst are lo cated between Ash Island and Al bany.. . . ' , 1 Captain A. W: Graham of the Oregon Transportation company reports that the , river at various points was not more than 16 inches deep last Monday an unusually low stage for this season, Notwith standing the shoal water : the Ore gona has been making . regular trips to Corvallis and Albany. Go ing up stream it is . impossible to load her with more than 25 tons of freight, but she is able to handle twice that amount on .: the : ; down voyage. . . The steamer. often comes down the river drawiag 20 'inches of water, when the channel is .not that deep in places. The force of the current carries her over the shoal points. Nor No Trap for Real Estate Man was There But the Goat was. A local real estate man took an Easterner out to see a farm the other day. The family appeared to be absent, and mindful of late Corvallis history in such cases, the real estate man stood outside the sate for some time reconnoiterinr. He was, as a matter of course, , on the lookout for gopher guns. He also had an eye wide open for traps for real estate agents, being in fact, a real . foxy man. After a long . inspection, in , which he made up his, mind that the coast was clear, he ventured into the barn yard. The two billy goats in there were so innocent looking that he failed to notice them. The attack was from the rear and it sent the land seller sprawling. The emigrant . hastily climbed the fence, leaving the goat and his vlct im the whole barn yard for finish ing their mill. . The land dealer reached his-feetfqt a : Second" 6 OHd just as the Billy was in the act of delivering a second blow. The former grabbed hold and held on to avoid punishment, and in the wrestling bout that followed manag ed to shove the 3iilly into a chicken. corrall and shut the gate. ; When the seller finally got his . breath, found his hat and limped out of the barn vard he muttered ; some thing to the effect that it. didn'tj pay land sellers in7 this country to show farms to prospective buyers when the owner happened to be absent from home.
