Corvallis Times CORVALUS, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING AUG. 7, 1906. CAPTING HOWARD. Because she refused to act as ser vant for his wife, but insisted on being maid to Mrs. Lieut. Hol comb, Captain Howard, 4th Caval ry, U. S. A., Walla Walla post dis missed Miss Eva Beller from her place in the Holcomb family, and ordered her to leave the post. The girl had been in the employ of the captain's wife, but after an illness, she went, in spite of importunings, to be the maid of the wife of the lieutenant. Thereupon, the "su perior officer" exercised his illus trious prerogative and wrote an or der which, in part, is as follows: "Servants in this post will not be allowed to shift from one employer to another except with the full con sent of the former employer, other wise the peace and harmony of the garrison would be disturbed with results prejudicial to good order and discipline. Lieutenant Holcomb will therefore cause Miss Beller to leave his house before six p. n.. to morrow, the sth inst, and will no tify her that she will not be permit ted to work in the post." And so, it is the manly and dis tinguished duty of a captain in the United States army to see to it that the wife of no underling of a lieut enant gets away with his wife's maid. With the wife of a nasty little lieutenant enjoying the so ciety of a pretty maid when the captain's wife wanted that maid and couldn't have her, the pride of the army would be pierced and its discipline smashed all to minders Mrs. Capting Howard was probably stung to the quick by the awful thought ot the Beller girl chasing the baby over at the lieutenant's house and in consequence the offi cial position of Capting Howard was invoked, and the lieutenant's wife and the Beller girl shown their true position in order to save the "discipline" of the army of the Re public. In the incident,- it ia easy to tee how, dc id tie fuss End feathers of militiry life, cffisial snobbery like that of Captain Howard will grow np and how in its exercise, class distinctions ire formed acd all manner otiDdecencits.ii justices and even tregd:fs are pirpe'.raied in the narue ot "dircipline." No wonder j 001 Dr-fus had 12 l ing suffering yearn wrenched frim hie life, eince armies often have Cap tain Howards in them. . HIGH PRICE. They ask six Dollars a Head for Sheep But very few for Sale. Present sky prices asked for sheep is a topic of frequent com , ment. There is an apparent scar, city with many would be purchas ers making inquiries. Four cents per pound was paid recently for a band of 100 ewes with the result that they cost the buyer $5.96 per head. Ever since that transaction the general price is $6 with but few selling, mainly because there is little or no surplus. The figures are very high, but in many an instance in the past year a sheep has yielded as much as that or eveu more to the owner. A farmer who discussed the matter yesterday said his band of ewes sheared an average of eight pounds of wool which went at 25 cents, making $2 per head. The band averaged also a lamb to the ewe, and the lambs were sold at $3.65, a total of $5.65 per head, making his band of sheep by far the best investment on his farm. The top quotation for mutton sheep is four cents per pound. The condition presented is, that sheep are worth as much or more for stocking purposes as for mutton. The crop is a good average. Robert Williamson at Wells got a yield of 22 bushels in wheat and 20 in vetch and oats. Fred Ioy in the same vicinity got 30 to 40 bu shels of oats and on a small patch, 15 of wheat. . Robert Williamson's idea of the yield is that it is below expectations in many cases but far better than last year. At Ed Bu chanan's no figures were obtainable but the statement was that the crop is a great deal better than last year. Miss Adelaide Sheasgreen ar rived Saturday from Portland, ' for a visit in Corvallis. CORVALLIS GIRL. A Word Picture of Scenes she saw at the Brighton Handi cap. In a letter home, Miss Edna Ir vine of Corvallis, now in New York tells of an afternoon spent at the Brighton races. She says: We took the train for Brighton Beach and saw the big race of the season, Known as tne jsngmon Handicap, won this time by Ram's Horn, in a magnificent race, the best and most exciting one it has ever been my pleasure to witness. I cannot begin to itell you of the wonders of a New York race track, the great crowds in gala dress, the surging, fighting men around the bookies, the ever alert touts hunting their prey, the ex citement and opportunity for study ing humanity in the paddock, the gorgeously attired women, the re porters in their mad quest for "stuff," and all the vast panorama of rpce track life at its best and worst, was a scene for contempla tion. "My! How my" emotions ran riot at that place! The handsome dashing horses, the ever interes'" mg jockeys m their many colored costumes, the judges and dignitar ies of the race in their box above and removed from all the rest, and all the glamour and swish of this many sided, and multiphased oc casion. Not since I have been in New York have I watched a pano rama with deeper and more intense interest, and I came home cram med with new thoughts, new ideas, and new knowledge. "I never can forget the cry that went up from the crowd as the flag was lowered for the Brighton hand icap, "They're off" it was so human and so full of hopes and de siers. There were other races, but that was the big one and afterRam's Horn's wonderful finish, only a nose to the good, the study of the crowd was intensely interesting. Each face told its tale of delight or disappointment in its own way. I don't think 1 took a breath; but as Ram Horn's lovely nose crossed the tape, my eyes filled with tears and 1 could n t stop them. It . was nothing to me financially, but its human interest and illusion was so appealing that it brought the tears. Ah! That race meant so much to me, I could see the suicidal in tent of some poor devils, hungry homes, starving children, and other misery, and on the other hand, the gloating, grasping win ners with celebrations to follow. diamond broches i.r their favor ites, and soon. Gambling is so fraught with tragedy. "Equally conspicuous in this af ternoon of spectacular life was an illustration of this extraordinary time of hustle and competition that met us as we left the track. There at the gates to the racing grounds were the newsboys with the even ing papers, and in these marvelous 20th century journals complete ac counts of the races, we were at the moment, leaving. It was truly an afternoon of revelations." ANOTHER PIONEER. Passing of Mrs. Drury Hodges The Funeral Occurred Yesterday.;. Mrs. Mahala Hodges, the wife of Drury Hodges, and an old time pioneer of Benton, died at the fami ly home at Wells last Saturday. The funeral occurred from the late home yesterday afternoon, and the service was conducted by Rev. T. T. Vincent. The ihurial was at North Palestine' cemetery, and a very large crowd of old neighbors and friends was present .to pay a last tribute of respect. The deceased was born Aug. 3, 1829, exactly 77 years and one day before her death. She was married to Drury Hodges April 27, 1847. Shortly after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Hodges started with ox team on the long trip across the plains, arriving in Benton county in September tf the same year. In another month Mrs. Hodges would have been a resident of Benton an even 59 years. North Palestine church is located on the old dona tion land claim taken up by Mr. and Mrs. Hodges after arrival in Oregon. Mrs. Hodges was a member of the Baptist church for 40 years. Her husband, four sons and five daughters are the survivors. In the passing of the deceased one more of the pioneer women who helped to blaze the way for the present civilized and developed Or egon, falls by the wayside. She was an estimable lady and deeply beloved by all who knew her. HOW THEY MARRIED. What he Agreed to A Wed ding. Probably . Without a Parallel.
