gage, and express car, were thrown
into a ditch and the fireman and
engineer badly 6calded. Jack
Miller, known as "Big Jack," was
at the throttle. He and the fire

New Jeweler. C. L. Roberts
is now the proprietor of the jewelry
store lately purchased.by him from
Geo. W. Smith. The change was
made yesterday, the 1st inst, and
a general re-arranging of the es
tablishment is going on under the
new owner. Mr. Roberts is a very
energetic and businesslike gentle
man and no doubt will secure a
large share of the public patronage.
His family, consisting of a wife and
three children, will soon join him
here where they wilj ' make their
residence. -His home " formerly
was in Dunlap, Iowa.
Sold. The farm of 452 acres,

BUILDIKG IMPROVEMENTS.
Corvallis not Behind in this
Onward Movement.
iew brick buildings.
Several Residences on the Rise
the School House at the State
Agricultural Collage.
"Everything is done with a gim
let in Corvallis," said a certain
gentleman to a Gazette reporter,
while seated in front of the Occi
dental hotel one day this week.
"How so? What do you mean?"
asked the reporter.
"Oh, well, instead of going ahead
rapidly and booming the town
every thing has a dull appearance,
just like trying to bore a large
hole with a gimlet instead of an
auger."
"All right There may be a
point to what you have just said,
bullet's see if it is true," said the
pencil-shover and he in company
wite another person took in the
city. -
Beginning here it is noticed that
a general repairing of side and
cross walks seems to be going on
all over the city which, together
with the 300 loads ot gravel that
were ordered placed on the differ
ent streets by the city council,
shows a spirit of improvement that
never was noticed before.
There is the new 2-story brick
building being erected on the
northwest corner of Second and
Madison streets, for L. G. Kline.
Its architecture will be very nice
and will improve the appearance
of things ereatlv in this part of
the citv when completed. It is
learned that every room in the
second story has been rented
already. The entrance to the
second floor being on the' south
side. The first floor will be occu
pied by J. D. Clark for his tirl and
hardware store. . f
Just a little farther up. the
street and nearly in front of th3
postoffica is the new ' building 'of
N. B. A very '8. Although there is
not much new brick in it on ac
count of using the walls of the
buildings on the north and south
sides, it will be an improvement
to be classed with "new" bricks.
The front will be of iron and glass
and galvanized iron fancy work at
! the top. When completed the
store room will be used by Irvine.
& Helm for their boot and shoe
business, r
As before announced Simon L.
Kline may erect a 2 -story brick
building on his forty-seven foot
front lately purchased from J.
Halliday, and situated just south
of Rose Bros.' cigar factory.
Should he do this very likely the
cigar men will join in as also
M. A. Canan, proprietor of the
Occidental hotel, and extend the
brickwork a few feet more and
onto the south side of the hotel
This will give nve . large . rooms
The onlv thins preventing this
bllii2 done is the" scarcify of
building material. .
This reporter has also learned
that Mr. Zierolf, who owns the
woqden buildings occupied by
Roberts' jewelry store and ZierolPs
bakery, is thinking some of moving
the present structures away and
putting in new ones with walls of
brick. Should he do this then
there would be nearly a solid row
of bricks the length of that
block.
Down this Main or Second street
to the north finds the building
occupied by Albrecht's saloon and
Thompson & Nelson's wall paper
store, receiving a couple of ' new
coats of paint, and the same is be
ing applied to the store room of
Nick Baesen's opposite the Ex
change hotel. Every little helps;
even new paint applied right will
help show off a business street to
good advantage.
Up the same thoroughfare to the
south a new wooden building of
twenty-four feet front and extend-
back nearly the length : of a lot
is being erected for S. B. Graham,
the photographer, on his property
on the west side of the street
Mr. Graham is doing a thriving
business in his line and sees the
necessity of having more room.
The house, near the reading
room has been moved -back and
will have a new front added on to
it before fall arrives. This is
owned by E. W. Fisher. -
A third story has just been com
pleted on the rear, of the Occi
dental hotel and now gives Mine
Host Canan fourteen more rooms
to accommodate the traveling
public. .
J. , Mason's new woodshed is
very neatly built and shows that
"Joshua" is a carpenter from
Broadalley hims3lf. In conversa
tion with him he says that a good
portion of the buildings in Corvallis
contain some of his handiwork,
he having been here for the past
thirty-two years.
A new residence is under con
struction near R. Kiger's place on
Washington street
Mr. Hukell has a new house
nearly finished, which is situated
near the O. & C. depot It is of a
one-story square design witn a
half basement
S. T. Jeffreys has a fine large
residence all roofed and ssded in
on the corner of the Mock just
west of the new school house. It
has a stone foundation costing
over $100, and will set off his
two lots in great style.
uounty Judge Hoiegate now
bobs up serenely and is having
his residence remodeled. The
kitchen portion has been cut away
and moved to the north side of
his lot leaving the front room
which will be moved back and a
new front built thereon. The
judge has been contemplating
this improvement quite awhile
and he is also going to do away
with that "cyclone" fence and have
a bran new one to surround his
property. ,
Thos. Whitehorn's house, that
he purchased last week, situated
two blocks north ot the court
house, is undergoing sdnie changes
and Tommy says work will not be
stopped on it until it is made a
thing of beauty. He has to have
something nice, you know, for that
boy baby of his.
The Episcopal church. is now
nearly completed and adds another
laurel to the beauty of Corvallis.
Its architecture is something after
the style of a cathedral of olden
times.
The framework of the second
story of Corvallis' J new twenty
thousand dollar school house is
now up and the other work on the
building is being pushed right
along. , The contract calls for its
completion by November 1st. -
The octagon barn on the agricul
tural college farm is nearing com
pletion, and the framework for the
mechanical hall is all up. The
material for the dormitory build
ing, between the mechanical hall
and the college, is mostly on the
ground, and work will soon be
rushing on its erection.
Besides all the above improve
ments and new buildiugs, numer
ous small jobs have been done all
over the city in the way of fixing
up. Paint has been spread in
every direction. S. N. "Wilkins
has had five men busy for over
two months attending to the or
ders he has received for painting
and paperhanging, and the other
boss painters have been rushed in
the same manner.
Well, to make a long story short,
it looks as though; the work has
been done with the augur instead
of the gimlet.
Thb Best Yet. Mr. Glenn,
whose farm is one and one-half
miles over the river in Polk county,
has a field of wheat which produced
fifty -six bushels to the acre . by
machine measure, says the Salem
Journal. The gentleman who
reported this says it will be about
sixty bushels to the acre by weight
This is the best crop reported from
Folk county this season. -

Grain Burned. A fire started in

about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and burned up abouf ten acres of oats

amount of fencing with some ties be
longing to tbe O. fc C. company. It
evidently was started by a spark from
the locomotive of tho 12:25 passenger
train from Portland. The only thing
preventing it doing more damage was
not getting over the Oregon Pacific

100 acres would have been consumed.
