TRIBUTE TO HER.
The Late Lucy Rebecca Job
By a Friend of the
Family.
T i.1 A 1
ah me great scneme 01 ere at. o
life in aay form is always interest
mg. Humanity represents ; the
highest type known to us and with
universal accord we welcome the
coming and regret the passing of
an immortal spirit.
Regret is least when by length of
days the allotted time of man has
been reached and like the shealf of
golden grain only awaits the gar
uering. It is the deeper-t when the
pass-ing occurs in the dawn ot life.
Recently this community has
been greatly touched by the loss or
thoe just in the flush of woman
hood and manhood.
Eighteen years ago the friends of
Dr. an J Mrs. Job hailed with ioy
th.-birth of their daughter Lucy.
The first nine years of her 'ife were
spent in C rvai. wLerc in due
time she en ered the p iV.ic schools
and by her bright mind and win
ning ways endeared herself to both
pupils and teachers. Later her
parents removed to Cottage Grove
and she became a pupil in the pub
lic school of that plac where she
excelled as a student and in addi
tion took up the study f music for
which she had decided talent and
at the age of sixteen, seemingly had
a bright future.
Suddenly her health failed and a
change of climate was found neces
sary and the quest of health begun.
After nearly two years spent in
California, she returned home to
await the summons which came the
20th. .
All through the months of illness
her cheerfulness did not forsake her
and her first thought was always
for the comfort of others.
On Tuesday the remains were
brought to Corvallis. Many of the
old time friends of Dr. and Mrs.
Job awaited their arrival and at
tended them in their last sad jour
ney to Crystal Lake cemetery,
Tenderly she was borne to her last
resting place bv six of her former
girl friends who when the last sad
rites were ended, covered the newly
made mound with a profusion of
beaut;f nl flowers.
"You cannot say and we will not
say
That she is dead She is just
away
With a cheery smile and a wave of
the hand,
She has wandered into aland un
known
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be since she lingers
there."

Notice to Public.
The Times wishes it understood
that the only advertising matter
that it prints free are the brief notices
of church services. All notices of
lodge?, societies, church enter
tamments, where admission is
charged, and all similar advertising
matter will be charged, for at
reasonable rate per line.
A newspaper's only sources of
revenue are its advertising space
and subscription lists, and the pub
lic has no more right to expect thesa
free than to ask the merchant to
give away his goods.
IT IS GOOD.
The Grain Crop Oats
an Especially High Average
: in Yield.
Wheat is quoted at 60 cents in
the local market. A good many
thousand bushels bave been sold at
that figure. Oats is quoted at 25
to 28 cents, and a considerable
quantity has passed from the grow
ers hands at those prices, although
farmers generally, are holding
with the expectation that they will
get a better figure. Of the luture
of either wheat or oats, dealers say
nothing can be foretold. That the
crop now nearly harvested is the
best in years, is undoubted. That
is the opinion of mill men, who of
course are brought in close contact
with the situation. Many farmers,
too. say no crop approaching the
present one has been harvested in
several years. Some wheat fields
go below 20 bushels, but they are
comparatively few. Yields of 25
and over are not infrequent, while
a number of crops of above 30 have
been beard of.
In the case of oats, the crop is
even better than wheat. One crop
in Blodgett gave 65 bushels, while
in various directions 50 bushels
have been threshed. When it is
remembered that for a dozen years
or more in this country the
wheat yield has seldom made a
general average of above 20 bushels
and more times has hardly exceed
ed an average of 18 bushels, the
present crop is one to be thankful
for and proud of. Even with the
present prices, it means, along with
the good prices for other products,
easy and good times for everybody
this fall.'
