It was a 32-foot column of fig ures with which they figured out the amount of taxes collected for 1905 with the adding machine at the sheriiffs office. It was eight feet shorter than the column for 1904 taxes, but it was long enough to stretch across the sheriffs spa cious office. A column of figures of such length is unques'ionably unique for those who see it for the first lime. Thee is apparently no limit to the addirg that the ma chine will do if the operator and the paper hold out. The thing is so promising in that respect it seems as if a wicked man might figure himself into heaven with it or a pov erty stricken cuss figure himself out to be wealthy. Sheriff Bur nett has the machine hired,, and is paying for it out of his own pri vate means. It has been found to be of the utmost convenience in ex- , perting the book of officials.. besides several grown up people were swimming in the Willamette off the O. P. incline. He got far out from shore and whether from fright or otherwise began to call lustily for assistance. Bilyeu, a powerful swimmer, hurried to the rescue and the little chap was towed ashore and told to get inside his clothes and. to swim hereafter in places nearer his depth. . At the point the water is 20 to 25' feet deep, and it is a dangerous place tor young lads to go swimming in. The rebuilding of San Fran cisco is slow to begin according to S. L. Kline who has just returned from there. The only contract of importance so far let is for the tearing down of the frame and clearing away of the Palace Hotel, and that is subject to the receipt of tne. insurance money. Many tem porary buildings are going up, but insurance adjustments and many other considerations are now delay ing permanent progress. Mr. Kline's residence in the" city ha3 been leas ed, much of the furniture having been shipped to .Corvallis for the new home Mr. Kline will soon be gin on the corner north of the Presbyterian church. -Ben Woldc has sold his faloon in fortland. It is said tnat ne profited $2,000 in the salr. He is temporarily out of business. A visi'or in town over Sunday was Frank Sbeasgreen, formerly of the Central Plaining mills. His box factory in Portland is running full blast, and is overwhelmed with orders. He returned to the city yesterday. The C. & E. Railroad will run a hstaing excursion next Saturday evening to Detroit. The train leaves Corvallis at 6 o clock Saturday evening and returns after the excursion from the Bay arrives at Detroit Sunday evening. Fair $1.00 round trip. Some of the hop growers who have been paying pickers by the box are changing to the weight system this season, and are now ordering sacks to be used for the purpose. The ordinary price by weight is 50 cents per ioo pounds. It is probable that in time all pick ing will be done that way. Service on the morning and evening mail route between Corval lis and Philomath began yesterday morning, fcrank Bullis is the car rier and his accommodations for transportation are a single buggy. The mail leaves Corvallis at nine a. m. and arrives at 5:30 p. m. A drinking fountain is to be provided for the public school grounds. It is to be donated by S- L. Kline, and will probably be put in position at some site agreed on by the directors by the time school opens for the fall term. The fact has led to the revival of talk about abandoning that portion of the street lying between the school blocks, and of making it a portion of the school grounds. Such a plan was discussed on a former occasion and the . school board petitioned the city council to declaie the street vacated. Complications arose however, and the plan was reluct tantly given up. Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, arrived in Eugene Satur day afternoon and is the guest of his brother, George Melvin Miller, who i a real estate broker. The poet spent his boyhood in Eugene. He attended Columbia College, a pioneer educational institution, for merly located at that place. He has many friends among the old settlers of Lane county and is en joying his visit there. Among his best friends is former Secretary of State H. R. Kincaid, for 46 years edi'.or of the Oregon State Journal there, who published the first poems written by Mr. Mi.ler.

The following letter, sent by Tim Westfall, tbe well known China man to the Times man, is self-ex planatory: Albany. Ore , July 16, 1906. Dear Sir: I beg to inform you that on Wednesday morning, July 18th, inst, I leave Albany for my old, my childhood home, in the far East, in China. I have dwelt in Albany" more than half mv life, and have many f ends, and 1 trust ft vs en emies. And before departing to re turn no more, I wish, in a few brief words to express to you my appreciation of your kindliness to me for many years and to say that I treasure VCUi fucuualiik', aiiu that the thought that I leave behind me in this land of liberty so many friends will ever be to me a matter of self congratulation, though mingled with regrets that I shall see them no more. For me, the lengthening shadows admonish me, that the evening of life is near at hand and I invoke in . your behalf the choicest smiles of a beneficent Providence. a long and prosper ous, happy life. Very truly, Jim Westfall. In Chinese Sep Gin. Jim Westfall was a familiar fiV- nre in Corvallis from 1S82 to about 1894, which was during the days of construction and early operation of the old O. P road. That was in the reign of the Hoggs and. Hoags and Hogues, and Jim was a Chin ese merchant and contractor. As a contractor, he furnished the rail road with Chinese laborers, receiv ing their wages and paying it to the workmen and supplying them with provicicrs. Jim prospered as long as the railroad paid dollar for dollar, but when time checks went down to twenty cents on the dollar it was rocky traveling for the old man, as it was with many others in those days of uncertain remuneration for services rendered Jim, in all those times, was, in mauy respects more like an A mer ican than an Oriental and had a long list of Caucasian friendships. The familiar sobriquet of "Billy Hoag" was much applied ta him in those old days. Wood For Sale. . Aih, maple, oak and fir wood at Lowest, priee?. Orders promptly filled.
