One of his bees got after , a rooster Sunday and the sequel wes side splitting to all but the rooster. , r.He scented the danger and acted ac cordingly. As the bee buzzed about his head he side stepped, dodged and pirouetted. He was more agile than a dancing master at a soiree, and forty times as. much excited. He ducked to avoid punishment, chased to the right and to the left. His gaze was constantly on the bee, and the bee was strenuous in the pursuit. Whenever the bee swung for his head the bird dipped, sometimes turning a somersault in order to keep bis comb out of reach of the stinger. Finally, man-like, with his legs spread apart like a whipped puppie and running like a locomotive, he dived among a bevy of hens that had been watch ing the matinee. Then the bee dis appeared, and man-like again, as he gasped for breath the badly winded king of the poultry yard uttered a shaky crow of triumph, as though he had won the scrap. The incident happened at Norton Adams. Albany Herald:- More hotel talk has it that the erection or a hotel building on the corner of First and Lion street opposite the Russ House is in contemplation The lot which is now occupied by the Burkhart real estate agency, is the property of J. K. Weatherford. Mr. Hammel, former proprietor of the Corvallis Hotel, the principal hostelry of the city up the river, has had his eve on Albany as a hotel town and has consulted with Mr. Weatherford concerning the matter of erecting a building here. Asked about the matter yesterday, Mr. Weatherford admitted that the subject had been presented to him but indicated that he would be m no great hurry about building. The fact that D Kerr, the newly elected president of the col lege was born in the Mormon church, has been published by a few of the newspapers. Incident ally thep-incipal and best recom mendations of Dr. Kerr came from well known anti-Mormon sources in Utah, and were remarkable for their unreserved and unstinted commen dation cf theatil'ty and sterling worth of Dr. Kerr. One thing cer tain is, that if a man is born in the Mormon church and subsequently withdraws Irom it, he h, if that 1 church is a bad church, entitle1 to infinitely more credit than a man who was never so identified.

In the long relay race from Salem to Portland Saturday where in ten Indian runners from the Chemawa Indian training school competed against ten white men from the Portland Y M C A the brawn and endurance of ; the American Indian proved superior to that of the white men, and the honor of delivering the Governor's message to Mayor Lane of Portland fell to the lot of Amos Smoker, a fifteen year old Klamath Indian. At exactly six minutes past three o'clock the tenth Indian oi the re lay team handed the message to Mavor Lane who waited in the Y.M.C. A. building. The run ner led by twelve and a quarter minutes, his nearest paleface com petitor being two miles or more be hind. The entire distance of 51.3 miles from Salem to Portland had been covered by ten Indians run ners in the remarkable time of 5 hours and 26 minutes. Through out the entire heartbreaking race the red skinned runner led their white competitors, and at no time after after the first lap had been completed was there any doubt of , the result. is Charles L. Baker, who was born in Corvallis about 25 years ago. He is a son of R. F. Baker, for ten years the proprietor of the leading hotel at Junction. The Corvallis has been thoroughly overhauled during the six weeks that it has been closed, and is new y furnished throughout. A hundred dollars has been raised toward a fund for a horse poultry, and live stock show to be given in Corvallis early in July. The horse show of last year was so successful an event from every standpoint that it was determined at the time to make the affair per manent. It has also been con sidered advisable to add displays of poultry, cattle, swine, sheep and possibly other features. George Armstrong sent the ball rolling a day or two ago by starting out with a subscription paper, and with only six men interviewed $75.00 was pledged. Twenty five dollars was added by another man this morning, and interest is gathering as the ball rolls. The matter -will probably engross public attention to a large extent within the near future.
