The funeral occurred yes terday. Will Warfield was among the Alseans who were in , town yester day on business. He departed for his home this morning with a quantity of household supplies, a thoroughbred shepherd' pup and a Jersey calf. While here Mr. War field deposited with the county clerk three wildcat scalps for which he was allowed a bounty of $6. . . Rev. Springer returned yester day from a business trip to New port, Albany and Eugene, where he solicited funds for the erectio n of a new Catholic church at New port. He secured about two-thirds of the required sum. Among the losses in the San Francisco conflagration was a large amount of canned salmon owned by Piinderson Avery, R. E. Gibson . and John Rickard. Three thous and dollars worth of salmon was sold and account sales rendered a few days before the earthquake. Ten thousand worth remained on hand and went up with the rest of the businessdistrict in flame - It was fully insured. ) There was a big time at the United Artisan lodge hall Wednes day evening, when the final vote was cast for H. H. Cronise for Su preme Representative. A program was rendered that included an in strumental solo by Mrs. Abbott, recitations by v Miss Bertha David son, Frank Hall, Miss Eliza Floyd and Mrs. Anna Adams and banjo and guitar duet by Students Bowen and Nichols. Ice cream and cake concluded the evening's entertain ment. If Mr. Cronise secures the office of supreme representative, he will represent all Oregon Artisans in the supreme lodge sessions for the next two years. After more than two weeks of ahxietp, County Judge Watters has tidings from an elder sister who was in San Francisco and has been missing since the earthquake. She lived at 547 O'Farrell street. She is a widow and was alone with her 14-year old, grandson. Everything was lost by the fire and they trudg ed the streets for two days and two nights, finally finding refuge at the Presidio emergency camp. County judge watters in tne anxious search for her passed through every camp in the city, the one at which she was a refugee, among them, but failed to find her. He finally ad vertised and her letter received here yesterday was in answer to his ad' ' vertisement in the San Francisco Examiner, It is understood that Merwin McMaines, who is known to fame as "Happy Hooligan," is shortly to take his departure for Chicago, wnere ne has been engaged to trav el with a medicine show company Happy's talent for the profession to which he is shortly to devote him self, was long since recognized and but tor a combination of unfor tunate circumstances which depriv ed him of volition in matters per taining to his own movements, he would, ere this have occupied the coveted position. But the delay has not been without its compen sating features. Happy has been enabled to grow a greater profusion of hair, to wear his sombrero with more effective eclat, and to acquire a poise of manner and movement not common to the amateur. While .Happy's distinctive garb has by some been regarded as a fad on his part, it should be stated that in af fecting the dress of the plainsman he has had in view the acquirement of such traits as would better fit him for, the business in which he ex pected to engage. There are many in Corvallis who earnestly hope for Happy's future success. There is to be a W. C. T. U. institute held in Corvallis next Tuesday and Wednesday. It will be conducted by the State presi dent, Mrs. Additon, who will speak at the Tuesday night meeting. A medal contest is to be held Wednes day night. Mrs. Eugene Shelby and daughters left yesterday for Port land alter a visit ic this city. " They were in San Francisco at the time of the earthquake, and lost every thing in the fire. Tbey came to Corvallis a week ago, and have since been guests at the home of Miss Eugenia and Miss Mary Shelby. ITS GREAT GROWTH. The student body at the col lege held a meeting Wednesday and voted ten percent of next year's student tax to be made available for use in debate and oratorical en terprises. For instance, it costs $100 to bring the Pullman debating ' teanr-to.jQorvallis for the big debate I tonight, and it is desirable to have a fund ready to cover possible defic its should any arise. A county order for $600 was drawn yesterday in favor of the Sari Francisco relief committee of Cor vallis. This is part of the sum guaranteed for the first Benton county shipment of supplies to the stricken city. I Claude I.' Lewis of Cornell University has become horticultur ist at the Oregon State College and station. With his family, he is to arrive in a few days to take up his duties. Provision for selection of a horticulturist was made at the mid summer meeting of the board of re gents last year, and President Weatherford, President Gatch and Regent Olwell were appointed a committee to make the selection. Prof. Lewis is hightly recommend ed by Dr. Bailey, the leading au thority in this country on matters of horticulture and botany. Mrs. Nellie Callahan Smith and little son arrived from San Francisco yesterday and are guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Call a han. She was a guest at the Oaks hotel at the time of the earthquake and with others escaped from the building, unharmed. Her husband who is a commercial traveler, was in a distant part of the state at the time. The day of the earthquake she spent with her son in avoiding the -names, escaping finally from tne burning city to Oakland on Thursday morning. She was much prostrated by tne shock of her ex periences. The busiest places in the coun try now are the hop yards. It is the period for training and trim ming the vines and a large amount of labor is involved in the process. On account of the scarcity of labor ine men, it is mostly done this vear bv bovs. eirls and women. It is light work, and an intelligent boy of a dozen summers can do it as well as anybody. It requires only patient, painstaking application The vines are now but a few feet in length Perhaps the largest force of people is at the Ireland yard, where there are a number of camps. A good many Corvallis boys, girls and women are employed there and at other yards, most of whom make the trip out in the morning and back in the evening. -Agents are in town already, soliciting subscriptions tor a new book ; giving details, illustrations and I Other information about the destruction by earthqn'ake and fire of San Francisco. They have a handsome prospectus giving excel lent illustrations and showing sam ples-of .the printed pages, . after the manner of prospectuses incident to books sold on subscription and in which the work of preparation has been neither so strenuous nor so swift. It is said that 200 such books by as many authors are in preparation foi the market. For 20th century speed, however, the one chat agents are already canvas sing for, is fully apace with wire less telegraphy and such things, The earthquake only happened two weeks ago at nve o clock Wednes day morning.

It is undergoing a development that promises within a short time to make it the most important enterprise in Benton county. It paid out $80,000 for butter fat 1. st year.' It is now making more than a ton of butter per day. It has a market at fancy prices for every pound of butter turned out. To the butter manufacturing plant has recently been added a ten ton ice works and a firstclass, up-to-date ice cream plant. The ship ment of both products to neighbor ing towns has begun. The es tablishment now occupies more than 10,000 square feet of floor space, the area having been more' than doubled by recent improve ments. One of the best experts in the country is in charge of the ice cream plant. '1 he product is manu factured and laid down in homes cheaper that the housewife can make it, and the quality is extra fine. It is far superior to the Portland prod uct, of which so much has been used in Corvallis.'": It is very certain to find a place in many of the confection establishments of the valley, and probably Portland. A neat packing device keeps it in a solid brick form as long as desired so that it can be served to suit the liking of the most fastidious enter tainer. . The butter business however, with its enormous outlay in cash for butter fat is the big item in the enterprise, and its growth is watch ed by Corvallisites with consider able local pride. When local dairy men by breeding get their herds up to a proper standard in which each cow should as is possible, yield $16 per month, the concern and its clientel will be a source of great thrift to Benton county. The av erage price paid by the establish ment for cream for last year was a little above 27 cents. The price now is 18. ' CATCHING BLACK BASS Sport for Corvallis Fishermen ---They Find 1 hem Down the River. Black bass fishing is popular now among Corvallis sportsmen. Roy Raber was out Tuesday and made a catch of seventeen, some of which weighed four pounds each. The fish are very gamey and when once on the hcok. a big one gives the fisherman a strenuous time un til the landing is made. The bite is very vigorous and as soon as that important event, happens, trouble begins. A" good strong line is necssary, in rase a four- pounder is hooked. Little fish, three to mx inches long and alive are used for bait. They say it is more trouble to get the bait than the ba-s when the lat ter are hungry. All sorts of devices are resorted to in order ' to capture the minnows, nnd to keep them alive for use when required. Several local fisherman are planning to try a spoon for bait, and the be lief is that the scheme, will be suc cessful. The fishing ground is mostly at the mouth, of Bower's slough and in Dead river, three or four miles down the Willamette. Bass are claimed to be a very toothsome fish. Of the Raber catch several were served up in Corval lis homes and the universal testi mony is that they are" a great delica cy. The bones are large and the flesh very savory. " The fish is shaped much like a Chinook salm on, and is not black as its name would indicate, but has silver for the predominating hue. Bass was introduced into Benton county wat ers by the government a number of years ago. WANTS DAMAGES. A Shoe Lesson!

More Trouble for the Moun tain View Road Is in Court Again. The commissioner's court was wrestling yesterday afternoon with the Mountain View road proposi tion, which was generally supposed to have been settled. W. J. Harp er, who bought one of the King places, made the purchase without knowing that the new road was- to pass through the farm. The form er owner demanded no damages, but Mr. Harper holds that he is in jured and that he ought to be paid. He applied to the county court for relief, but that body had already gone its limit in the matter, and did not feel inclined to invest lurth in the highway. Yesterday, Mr. Harper again appeared in court, this time with a lawyer, insisting that damages be vouchsafed him. It is stated that unless something is done for him that he will brin? an injunction suit, and that Chan cey Levee will join in the main proceeding. A. L. Ferrington, the Albany Rug man who makes rugs from old carpets, will be in this city next Wednesday. : He will not make a canvas, but if you would like to see him, drop a card, care general de- it .. 3 . ... - iivery ana ne will can.
