TElE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JljLY 25, ISM.
A
WAS- NOT O. K.
Wednesday evening a well dressed
man whose stage narae is E. Gf. Beards
ley, and claiming to represent tlie
Pacific Coast Keal Estate Company, of
Portland, allied for a good team at
the City Stables, with which to take a
drive into Linn coivnty "on business.
Mr. Eglin's late experience with Peck
and others has rendered him careful to
whom he hires teams, so he inquired
the name of the apjJicant and the
nature of his business.- The real estate
man gave his-name and stated that his
business- was of a private nature. The
answers were not satisfactory to Mr.
E., who informed his would be patron
that walking in Linn county was ex
cellent. Beardsley insisted oa having
a turnout but the liveryman argued
"that better-looking men than you
have stolen horse and buggies from
me," and so dismissed him. Present
ly the real estate man returned with a
note introducing Mr. Beardslev, Stating
that he was O. K., and signed by Mr
Wilkinsr proprietor of the Occidental
hotel, who evidently desired to accom
modate a gentlemanly-appearing cus
tomer. Upon this recommendation
the team was obtained. When
Ueardsley returned about noon, how
ever, lie left the team or. a back street,
went to the botet, stealthily abstracted
his grip therefrom, drove to the West
Side depot, reaching there in time to
board the train as it pulled out for
Portland, having secured boy to re
turn the 'team to the stable. Mr.
Eglin and Mr. Wilkins, who were
both at the depot compared notes and
k was found that he left unpaid his
board bill, his stable bill, and several
small sums of money borrowed from
friendly real estate men in Corvallis.
Prompt action on the- part of the credi
tors caused the arrest of the "wily
dealer in dirt" when- the train arrived
at Independence. Beardsley was per
haps aware that no criminal action could
be brought against him, but the pub
licity which would be given the affair
by his return to Corvallis was- what
probably induced him to at once make
a settlement with his friends here.
This little episode will increase Mr.
Beardsley's celebrity and inspire more
confidence in the agents of the Pacific
Coast Real Estate Co.

The following is the crop report for
Benton county as furnished by B. S.
Pague of the U. S. Signal Service,
Portland: Corvallis Wheat is riprn
ing rapidly; spring wheat is filling out
much better than was expected, and
the prospect now is for a much better
erop; quite am amount of hay has been
ut during the last week;, early corn is
silking; string beans, potatoes and
squashes are ready for the market;
apples are ripening and cabbages are
nearly ready to market. Experiment
Station Wheat is being harvested;
some varieties of wheat on college
plats have extra heavy heads; some
early varieties of peaches are ripe.
Monroe Spring grain is better than
was expected a short time since, bnt
will not be over a two-thirds crop; gar
dens will be very fair; fruit pests will
take all the apples; hay harvest about
past and grain harvest commences.
Philomath During the past seven
days a large rcreage of wheat, oats
and hay have been cut, and it is con
conceded to be far better than was
anticipated. Some have better crops
than ever before, some have poorer.
The majority of the wheat fields are
extra clean. Toledo Crops favorably
affected by the weather.
West Side Railroad Notes A
special train over the West Side rail
road arrived in Corvallis Tuesday
bearing a number of railroad officials
on a tour of inspection. Among those
upon the train were Supt. L. P. Fields,
Gen. Roadniaster M. Voile, Chief En
gineer W. A Grondahl, and Road mas
ter (West Side division) Chas. Russell.
Last week ten car loads of lumber
arrived for use in constructing stock
yards, rebuilding cattle guards, culverts,
crossings, etc. The brush and grass
on the right ef way between Corvallis
and Portland has been burned in or
der to lessen the danger of an acciden
tal fire , from locomotive sparks or
other causes. Nothing definite can be
learned regarding the time work will
be commenced on the extension of the
road to Junction.

It is popular alike with gentlemen,ladies

have it said that they will have ample
assistance in serving the throng that is
likely to invade their parlors next Mon
day. Uncla Abiatha Newton and wife
have required the attention "of a phy
sician during the past few df ys. Mrs.
N. is the more severely ill, but both
are in a feeble condition. Mr. New
ton is eighty years of age; Mrs. N. is
somewhat younger, but both have
roached the age at-- which little assist
ance may be expected from the phy
sician and not great amount from
nature.
Tlie Oregon Land! Company of Salem,
Oregon, has inaugurated a system ot
cutting up large tracts of land and sell-'
ing them out in ten acre tracts for
fruit raising and gardening. The plan
includes cei tain improvements in the
way ef well graded streets, shade trees
and cottages- that insures at once
attractive and beautiful surroundings
while especial provision is made for
market for the fruit. The Oregon
Land Company has offices at Port
land, Salem and Albany.
"OUR BOW."
The attache of the Gazette, office,
next to the editor in the order of suc
cession, is absent at the Bay, and when
Mr. Conoverwas called away it became
necessary to drag the writer out of the
ink-pot, as it were, and place him in
the editorial chair. The transition
was sudden, and like other high posi
tions, the temporary editorship of the
Gazette was unsought by the incum
bent. Why he was chosen to fill the
responsible position in prefeience to
any of the lawyers or others who under-
j stand so well how to run a newspaper
he does not know, unless it is upon the
theory that an honest man is the
noblest work of God and that such
only are qualified to preside over the
columns of great newspapers.
The temporary editor will not mark
out a well defined course to he pur
sued by the paper under his manage
ment, but will deal with the great
questi ons of the day as circum
stances seem to justify when the drift
of public opinion is fully ascertained.
The occasion may not have called
for a "Bow," but it is made partly be
cause there is little satisfaction in being
great, if only for a short time, unless it
is known; and partly as a joke on the
delinquent subscribers who always hail
with delight an indication of a change
of newspaper proprietors. With the
new man they can always affect a com
promise upon what the books shov that
they owe.
Finally, it must be said, in accord
ance with a long established custom,
"that during the absence of the editor
the shortcomings of the paper should be
attributed to the office devil."
Robinson's Circus. RobNon's cir
cus has come and gone and it affords
us pleasure to speak a good word for
the circus and the people connected
with the show. Mr. John Lowlow,
the veteran clown has charge of the
press business, and he attended to
that business promptly and courteous
ly. The circus is good, being par
ticularly strong in riding features.
Very large audiences attended both
performances of the show, and the
many frieivds of Mr. and Mrs. Willie
Marks turned out en masse, to wit
ness their very graceful riding acts.
Mrs. Marks has become a first-rate
rider, doing all the acts usually per
formed by lady riders. Their double
rid-ng acts wis particularly graceful,
and elicited much applause. The hip
podrome features and racing were par
ticularly pleasing. Miamisville News.
Will exhibit at Corvallis, Monday,
July 28th.
Change of Time The change of
time table, which goes into effect 25th
current on the Oregon Pacific, will
accommodate a large class of travel.
The train between Albany and Green
Basin will leave the eastern point in
the morning arriving ac Albany at
11:20 a. m., and returning leave Al
bany ut 1:10 p. rn. This will give con
nections with the Yaquina, the South
ern Pacific, and the Narrow Gauge
trains, and people from valley points
can reach the heart of 3th e Cascade
mountains on the day they leave home.
This must largely increase travel.
O. N. G. All of E. Co., 2nd Reg.,
O. N. G., who enlisted when the com
pany was first organized have received
their discharge, the three years for
which all new members must enlist
having expired on the 6th inst. On
next Saturday a meeting will be held at
Job's Theater when a reorganization
ef the company will be attempted.
Those who have served three years
will be allowed to re-enlist for a period
of one 'year, and many who have re
ceived their discharge will take the
opportunity to do so.
Old "Reel Foot." The two- men
who had killed the old grizzly bear
"Reel Foot" had the stuffed skin on
exhibition in Eugene Wednesday and
Thursday. The bear had been known
for 2T years and in that time had de
stroyed! thousands of dollars worth of
stock! They secured the standing re
ward of $500 for killing him. A part
of one of his forefeet had been torn off"
in a trap which caused him to leave a
peculiar trail and give him the name.

Mr. Dnvid King, an aged pioneer
of this coranty who resides on Oak
creek, has required the constant atten
tion of a physician for some days, be
ing afflicted with brain trouble. His
condition is said to be slightly im
proved. The Oregonian complains- that July
is wearing away and still no construc
tion work has been done on either of
the three railroads to be built out of
Portland this summer, which reminds
us that Albany is not alone in the
matter of railroad building. Some
people growl because the O. P. is not
going ahead; but it seems that several
other roads are also slow about start
ing, which, in fact is the history of all
railroad building. Albany Democrat.
A reseryation Indian was incarcera
ted over night in the skookum-house
at Siletz, early in the week for thrash
ing his wife severely. When the
guard opened the jail the next morn
ing, Mr. Indian was found suspended
by the neck from the wall, and life had
almost fled. The guard was just in
time to save one of the nation's wards
The man intended to suicide, and
soon would have been where no
passes are issued. Post.

Capital City Fruit farm of 640 acres,
Sunnyside No. I, 320 acres; Sunnyside No.
2. 320 acres; Sunnyside No. 3, 300 and a
number of others have been placed on the
Records by the Oregon Land Company of

doing business in Portland and Albany and
has numerous other small tracts. The
I great advantage of this plan is that it
I brings together in one community the class
of people who are all engaged in the same
business, viz: fruit growing, consequently
there springs np large dry big and .canning
establishments similar to those in the city
of.Salem, which advantages make profitable
