The 25-foot frontage occupied
so long by the Rose cigar store and
Metzgar s lewelry store has been
purchased by S. : Lv. Kline at fig
ures not made public, but supposed
to be about f 2,500. It is the pres
ent plan of Mr.' Kline to replace"
the old building with a brick, to be
occupied as a grocery department
for his already large mercantile es
tablishment. In the present com
modious quarters, operations are
much crampedfor lack of flour
space, It is also known that Mr.
Kline expects ultimately to convert
the present front of his store
building into one of more modern
appearance, probably involving a
single instead of a double entrance,
with mammoth plate glass windows.
The question of whether or not the
changes will be made this year are
said to be doubtful.

Physical Director Trine of the college,-
accompanied by Mrs. Trine,
left yesterday for San Francisco, to
consult a specialist with reference
to the malady that has affected his
jaw so long, and from which he
has undergone enormous suffering.
Several weeks ago he underwent an
operation in this city, but there has
been a recurrence of the attacks
with renewed violence. The ma
lignancy with which the ailment
pursues the well known and widely
popular trainer gives his friends
much concern. Arrangements
were all made for a severe surgical
operation to have been performed
in Portland at 10 o'clock Monday,
in which a portion of the jaw bone
was to have been removed, but at
the last moment it was given up
and the journey to San Francisco
determined upon. Many friends in
Corvallis hope he may be success
ful and that Mr. Trine may return
fully resto red to . health and
strength.

CAPTAIN APPERSON'S TRIP.
At the instance of Sheriff Bur
nett, an escaped Reform School
boy was captured and returned to
Salem Monday. Sunday the house
of C. F. Butler at Blodgett, was en
tered and a rifle taken. The same
day the house of Albert Schriber
at Philomath, was ransacked and a
revolver, a pair of opera glasses and
75 cents taken. The matter was
reported to Sheriff Burnett, Mon
day, and within a short time the
latter had the boy arrested by the
authorities in Albany.
Two valuable brood mares and
two calves were burned to death in
the fire that destroyed M. S
Woodcock's barn last Friday. Th
help on the place was hauling hay
at the time of the fire, and 15 or 20
tons that had been put in the barn
was burned. A fanning mill and
a few implements were among the
losses. The barn was built three
years ago, and was large and roomy
Only the wife of the man in charge
was at the scene when the fire
broke out, and by her efforts a colt
was taken from the barn and'Saved.
There was no insurance on the
property.
Since the shooting over there,
there has been no chicken stealing
in the vicinity of Oakville. The
shooting, as was related in Satur
day' s Times, occurred last week at
the home of Samuel Bullis, when
an unknown man, while trying to
effect an entrance to the family
poultry house, was given a charge
of birdshot. The occurence attract
ed wide attention in, .'the commun
ity and it soon beeame a matter of
general observation that a certain
suspected party was no longer no
ticeable in ; the neighborhood.
Whether in hiding or - whether
abroad to nurse his wounds is not
known to the party who phoned
the information to the Times yes
terday.. , Mr. Bullis, who did the
shooting, is a veteran of the civil
war and above 70 years of age. He
was too old a man for pursuit or the
midnight shooting might have
ended in the capture of the intrud
er. As it is. Oakville people be
lieve they have now surcease from
the midnight visits that since the
winter have cost them, or lost them
several hundred chickens.
How he Journeyed Mid Towns and
Gties not Down on his
Itinerary.
Captain Apperson arrived Mon
day to be on hand for the board
meeting this Wednesday afternoon.
He is one of the most loyal of all
the loyal friends of the college and
is always promptly and faithfully
on hand when there is to be a
board meeting. He is chairman
of the finance . committee and has
bean busy since arrival in check
ing up the accounts of the institu
tion.
It was not so much in the fact
that he came early that Captain
Apperson avoided the rush. As it
was in the fact that he came a
peculiar route, coming in tne or
dinary way it is something like 80
miles from Captain Apperson' s
home near Oregon City to Corvallis
As Captain Apperson traveled it in
his latest trip he journeyed over
200 miles. It happened this way:
Captain Apperson Sunday even
ing attempted to take the ten o' -
clock train lor Corvallis. Two lo
comotives and two trains were
puffing about on the C. & E. track
at the Albany depot. The Captain
boarded one of them which seemed
headed for the countv seat of Beh-
tcn. A brakeman soon told him
to move into the coach at the rear
of the train, which instructions,
he and other passengers obeyed.
On the way back the conductor
met them and told them to sit
down where they werj, and then
passed on. Of course they obeyed
the conductor.
Meantime, the train started. In
deed, it was started full on its
journey when Captain Apperson
noticed that he was going in an
easterly direction, instead of south
west toward Corvallis,
It took him a long time to find
a train hand, The train had gone
miles before one was finally started
from cover. ' 'Where are you tak
ing me to,' ejaculated the well
known regent. "Where are you
going?" demanded the railroader
Then Captain Apperson learned
what he- had already surmised,
that instead of being headed for
Corvallis he was on board the Sun
day evening excursion train bound
for the heart of the Cascades.
He traveled all night. Detroit
was reached after one o'clock a. m
rThe trip hackf-to Albany- occupied
tne rest 01 tne nignt up to nve
o'clock in the morning. The Cor
vallis stage left at 6:30. and the
Captain was a passenger.
, What makes the in
cident ununderstandable, to
his many Corvallis friends is
that the old steamboater is a man
of known temperate principles and
that he was iurther fortified against
untoward accident by the fact that
he was, in theory at least, headed
fora dry town.

GATHERING PRODUCTS.
Efforts to Improve Benton Exhibit at
the Fair Court Takes
Action.
It is planned to better the Benton
county exhibit at the Fair. The
showing made so far has not been
satisfactory., There has been a
lack of fruits and some other prod
ucts in the display, and possibly a
lack of taste in the arrangement.
In any event, the county court has
determined on a better showing,
and last week employed a man to
re-arrange the exhibit and to se
cure more samples.
: ! It has been found that the only
way to keep the booth properly,
supplied with samples is to send a
man out to gather them. No mat
ter how strong the appeal or how j
often made, the gathering of prod
ucts, which is everybody's business
becomes nobody's business, and the
products accordingly do not gather.
No more reliance is to be placed on
a free offering of samples, and it is
expected that an improved exhibit
will result. It is not hoped of
course for Benton to make so grand
iloquent a showing as those coun
ties, for instance, like Coos, which
is spending $30,000 on its county
exhibit but it is certain however,
that hereafter the . Benton booth
will present a creditable . display.
