After touring the Coast for the past year, Mrs. S. G. Ratcra is in the citv visiting her mother, Mrs. Marion Higdon, before returning to her home at Canon Cify, Colo. ' An iron &t e escape has been added, to the safety precautions at che Occidental Hotel. It serves the two upper stories, and delivers the guest safely in the alley in the rear of the building.

Lightning arresters and fuses to prevent bolts of lightning from entering their central office have been put in by Charlie Shenofield of the Bell rhone at Philomath dur ing the past few days. Aside from the danger to operators, a bolt of lightning can do great damage to the switchboard at a central tele phone office. During the late thunder storm both local offices sustained damage, paiticularly the Independent, which required sever al days and much tfforc to repa:r. A private fire -department hai been adred to tbe safety precau tions at Kline's store. A fire hy drant has been placed in convenient position, an'1 three 50 foot sections of hose have been provided. A nozzle throwing a 5-8ths inch stream of water is fitted to each hose, and all are kept constantly in position on a rack for the purpose, always convenient for use, so that three streams of water can be turn ed loose inside or outside the store in half a minute's time. The plan is so excellent that the wonder is why every important building in town is not provided with similar means of quick fire fighting. Eugene Guard: Royce & Pe terson's excelsior factory in this city will close down this evening until the present car shortage is ov er. C.O.

Wells the other night, and which for the present keeps her confined at home with her injuries. She has long been slightly subject to somnambu lism, and Tuesday night, walked in her sleep.

The party car ried with them many remembrances and dainty refreshments. The ev ening was spent pleasantly in con versation, and various members of the company furnished music for the entettainment A lady carrying a little dog in a London omnibus waited to know at every turning whether this was Park Lane. - She began asking the question soon after the bus started and re peated it at intervals all along the route, until at last she was told to the intense relief of everybody in the omnibus that Park Lane was really before her eyes." But they were not to see the last of her even then. "Look!" she said in estatic tones, holding the dog up to the window; ' that's where your mother was born!" Be sure and have your job printing done in Portland. It is true that the Portland printer does not pay taxes in Benton, doesn't employ labor in Benton, doesn't buy meat, buy groceries, buy clothing, boots and shoes in Benton, doesn't do a thing in fact to help build up your town, but that's nothing. He doesn't give ycu any better work, doesn't do it ls cheaply as it can be done at home but that's nothing. Dont give the work to local news paper offices, don't, buy supplies from local merchants, don't spend any money in Corvallis, inlact, that you can possibly send away, That's the way t make a town jrovy. ; For Sale 1 offer my entire poultry out fit and business consisting of 2OO fowls, three incubators, one bone grinder, one grit grinder, one clover cutter.
