Wheat threshed Friday on Iee Henkle's 10-acre farm across Marys - river, made a yield of 20 bushels per acre. The field of the Fischer mill threshed about the same time made 24 bushels. In the first Williamson trial the two men who hung the jury offered to convict Gesner and Biggs if the other juror3 would acquit Williamson. The same proposition was made by some of those fpr ac quittal in the late trial. Apparent ly if Gesner and Biggs were tried together and Williamson was given a separate trial, the former would be convicted. The residence" built by Mrs. F. A. Helm and owned by W. O. Heckart m the south end of town changed hands Monday. H. Har rison of Summit was the purchaser, and $1,500 was the price paid The sale was made by Robinson & Stevenson. Mr. Harrison is not to occupy the property, but merely acquired it as an investment for idle mony. The Whitaker hop contract case, which has been appealed to the supreme court, is being prepar ed for a hearing before that tribun al. It is a suit for damages brought by Kola Neis as adminis trator of the estate of William Fa ber, wherein plaintiffs allege they had a contract tor the delivery of hops to them, which allegation the Whitaker's deny, claiming there was no contract. A jury at the November term of the Benton county circuit court, after hearing the evidence, pronounced for the Whitaker's. W. D. Barclay and S. A Tharp, who were members of the famous Williamson jury, arrived home Saturday. Both showed vis ible signs of the worrying effect of the long wrestle with the case and the two days ot confinement in the little jury room. Friends of theirs said, in fact, that each looked like he had been to an Irish wake. They were fifteen days on the case They were 45 horns in the jury room. Both were for conviction The jury stood six for convicti 1 and six for acquittal. . Tt- l'c knrtTirn rYTT f Vi o f fTio Ata. apreeahlv hot davs of tnrn or three 1 weeks ago were more fatal days in Willamette than any known in a long time. They were fatal finan cially, in that they played havoc with the wheat crop". All grain seems to have then been -in the dough. The intense heat of the period, with the mercury soaring at 102 degrees in Corvallis, arrested , the filling process and resulted in a shrunken berry. This is the theory- of nearly all farmers. It is al most the first time in Willamette in which a few days have done serious damage to growing crops. An in cident that added to the reduced yield of grain is doubtless the aphis - according to the view of some farm ers, who think the bugs did con siderable injury. How glorious to be a small boy, not for the swimmings, not for the juvenile atHletics, not for the hours with nothing on the green earth to do, not for the fun of chas ing cats or tick-tacking the neigh bors, but just for reveling in those theories of life and circumstance for which urchins have always been famed.- For instance, here is the way, the secret soulful way, mind you, the small boy has of getting - rid of warts. It is what he calls 'charming them." When the pro cess is concluded, the wart is said to be "charmed." It is done thus spit on a piece of paper, wrap the spit inside and leave the package on the corner of a sidewa'k or at the forks of the road. If some body comes along and picks up the paper, the wart is a goner, because it is thereby "charmed." Accord ing to all small boy authorities, it is a cure that never fails.

' In the probate court last week Percy Winkle filed letters of ad ministration in the estate of Pamelia Winkle, deceased.

The estate is valued at $600. - A twenty acre 'field on the Corvallis Muls farm gave a yield of 24 bushels per acre of . wheat. That is accounted a pretty good yield this season. Three years ago it was in clover. Then it was crop ped in oats, aud last Autumn it was sown to wheat and clover. Of the clover, in spite of the extra dry year, there is now a stand. The better crop of wheat shows how the rotation process pays, according to the idea of August Fischer. President Gatch arrived home from Horn brook, California. Mon day.

They go thence to London, and after a brief visit there go directly to some spot in Ger many not yet selected. Monday was another hot day. That statement, however, has ceas ed to be a spectacular item of news. Hot days have followed each other this year with unpleasant, and it may be added, with unwelcome regularity. Ninety five was the temperature reached Monday, touching that figure shortly after midday, and remaining there until 3:30, when a breeze from the sea sent the meicury speedily down ward. T. K. Fawcett's stallion Potache will be one of the figures in the big horse show at the Portland Expo sition, September 19th to 29th. The competition against him will be very great. McLaughlin Broth- ers, noted horse fanciers of Ohio, according to the press dispatches, recently -purchased arrthe annual government horse show in France, all of the prize-winning horses, and has shipped them direct to the Lewis and Clark fair to be compet itors in the September horse show. Potache, however, was a prize-winner at the same great show in France, was winner in a Royal In ternational show on the Continent, and again a winner at the St. Louis exposition, and he will go into the contest with good credentials.
