Mr. R. S. Harrington is in the city engaged in introducing his patent water ing trough for poultry. The article in question is certainlly one of the most meritorious articles of the kind we have ever seen, it being so arranged that it is impossible for the fowls to get their feet in to the water and dirty Lit or to upset the vessel, so tnat the water is always supplied fresh and pure. W. T. Hoffman's planing mill in Wilkins' addition is now almost com pleted and will be ready to fill all orders which may be brought in by the first of next week. The building is a twostory and has been put up in a substantial and enduring manner. The machinery was started for the first time last Tuesday and found to work perfectly, and the finishing touches to the building will be given tomorrow. A petition is being circulated, and is receiving numerous signatures, to have the principal streets improved by cleaning out the side gutters and throwing tho dirt into the center of the streets, thereby filling in the holes and making a more perfect drainage. This may be all right for a temporary improvement, but it will not last, and most of the work will have to be done over again next year. We are in fa vor of making substantial and perma nent improvements on all streets. It will be cheaper and more satisfactory in the long run. School Report. The following is a report of the school in district No. 31, for the month ending June 17. Total number of pupils enrolled, 20; average attendance, '25. The follow ing is a list of those who were neither absent or tardy ; Jennie Parks, Bertie Miller, Leonard Miller, 'Frank Hartley, Joseph Parks, Lizzie Hartley, Myrtle Hartley, Chester Lewis, Hattie Parks, Lizzie Van Orden, Willie Simpson and Mary Parks. Miranda Franklin, Teacher, Elk City, Ore. A Woolen Mill. Another pro position is soon to be presented to the citizens of Corvallis for the purpose of establishing a woolen mill at this point. The parties, who are in the east, ask that a. subsidy of 5,500 be raised which shall be paid to them after the mill has been in operation for thirty days to the satisfaction of our citizens. The outfit r; presents a value of several thousand dollars and the machinery is all new and of the best and most approved style. It is our belief that the subsidy will be raised without the least difficulty, as the scheme is cer tainly the best that has yet been offered to our citizens. The acceptance of the proposition means the addition of between thirty and fifty " families to our population, as the skilled help will have to be brought from the east. A scheme for the erection and operation of a furniture factory is also under consideration with a good chance for success. Pleasantly Entertained. On Thursday of Last week Mrs. G. A Waggoner gave "an afternoon with Dickens,, to her lady friends. The time was sprnt in study of the life of this author and his works. In the rendition of "The Death of Little Nell," and "Ivy Green," by Mrs. Waggoner and Miss Jessie Waggoner, no oidir.ary talent was displayed. Mrs. F. L. Washburn read an excellent and carefully prepared paper on the characterization of Dickens, which was followed by a humorous selection from Pickwick, by Mrs. Thus. Callahan. Mrs. Langdon, of Albany, contributed to the pleasure of the- occasion ly sing irg some choice selections. Mrs. and Mr. Waggoner also entertained their young friends in the evening with a "senses party." Some very pretty prizes, the result of Miss Jessie's artis tic skill, were awarded. The first prizes were awarded to Pete Callahan, Ernia Lawrence and Mrs. Huston ; Dr. Lester and Ralph Davisson came out victorious with tho boobie3. Mrs. Waggoner is a charming hostess, and both afternoon and evening were most pleasantly passed. Among those pres ent in tiie evening were; Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Callahan, Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. 11. H. Huston, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Davisson, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Irvine, of Albany, Miss Hattie Friendly, Miss Mattie Averv, Miss Anna Allen, Miss Errna Law rence, Miss Maud Hoffman, Miss Lida McDaniels, Miss Carl Kitchens. Miss Ethel Johnson, Messrs. B. W. Johnson, Dr. B. Lester, Clarence W. Averv, Frank Lillv, E. E. Wilson, J. H. Wilson, T. A. Jones, G. W. Wag goner, O. G. Hopkins. Excursion to the Front. On last Sunday, as advertised, and ex cursion was given over the O. P. line to the front. It was well attended and all who went enjoyed them selves thoroughly. A few were eome what nervous at the sight of some clouds in the morning, but the weather throughout- the day could not have been more nearly perfect if it had been supplied to order. Tho Marine band of this city accompanied the ex cursion and discoursed an abundance of excellent music throughout the day. The scenery along the road is grand and in some places scenes of wild beauty appear to the eye which fairly takes one's breath. To the fisherman and sportsman the valley of the San tiam presents attractions which are almost irresistible. However, scenery and possibilities for sport are not the only things one sees here. Immense water power is absolutely going to waste, very few attempts having been made to take advantage of its possibilities. The timber and mineral resources of this region are entirely undeveloped and there is now standing a wealth of timber that it is impossible to even es timate. When this road is built on through to an eastern terminus thre will spring up a demand for this lum ber which will tax the capacity of all the mills which will be built to supply. At present it is impossible to even imagine the almost exhaustless wealth now lying unclaimed, but the day is not far distant when even the most sanguine will be astonished at its magnitude. Granted Further Time. Thurs day, June 23, was the day set by the court for the completion of tho sale of the Oregon Pacific railroad by Zephin Job in the.interests of the bond holders and for the paying over to the court the balance of the.$l,000,000 purchase money. The court met in special session at 1:30 o'clock, Judge Flinn of Albany representing the purchaser, J. R. Bryson, the Farmers Loan and Trust company of New York. And Mr. Luthicum of the firm of Williams & Wood, of Portland, who represent about $205,000 of receivers certific tes held by New York -banks, were present. Judge Flinn in behalf of the purchaser of the road and the bond holders asking that the time for pay ing the balance of the purchase money be extended. The petition alleges that negotiations now pending with European capitalist were necessarily delayed on' account of an injunction recently tried in the United States court, and for other reasons, and that petitioners were confident that the money would be forthcoming, and all negotiations would be completed neces sary for the purchase of the road if further time was granted. After hear ing the argument of the attorneys representing all tne parties in the case. Judge Pipes rendered his decission granting an extension of time for the balance of the purchase money to September first 1892. Runaways. Last Tuesday was a day of runaways in Corvallis, there being no less than four. Ned Smith's four-horse team became frightened while near the Benton county mills and took a spin up Main stieet, and were stopped only by coming in col lision with a telegraph pole iu front of J. M. Nolan's store. E Berlin's horse also got an idea into bis head that he wanted to exercise his muscles a littlo and struck out down Water street. But little damage was done in either case. In the afternoon the run aways resulted more seriously. While John and Dick Keiger were unloading wood near the O. P. depot their team became frightened at the cars. Dick managed to save himself without in jury, but John was not so fortunate. He was thrown from the wagon in such a manner as to break both bones of his leg between the knee and aukle joint. He was taken home and Dr. Lee set the bones and made him as comfortable as possible. NOTHING LIKE IT.

Ciinsiileral'le excitement was cre&teil on our streets this morning over tho report that during the night a numler hail been committed. When inquiry was made, how ever, it was ascertained that while no actual murder was committed a dastardly attempt had been m.u'.u upon the lite of C'hitiifc Strejre, who lives in the northern portion ol the city, and that it had lacked very little of imuiiig mi end to his existence. Tht facts of the c ise, as nearly ns we can ascer tain, are as follows : The victim, Ctiar!e3 Stree, is a German about 35 or 411 years of ago and for some time pant has been employed ut piling lum- er at Friendly a saw mill. About a week or ten days ajjo he rented a house of Mrs. Kendall on .Second street ubuut two blocks I south of the mill, where he has since lived ! alone. Up to a late hour last night he was seen a number of times on the street in company with some of the other men employed about the mill, going home about II o'clock. This morning about 6' o'clock Stoke Moore, who drives the slab wagon at the saw mill, went to the stable as usual to hitch up his team and on going into the stall found Strega lying in a semi-conscious condition by the manger, almost under the horse's feet. He was dressed only in his under clothing and was covered with blood. Moore attempted to get an explanation from him, but his mind was so dazed and befog ged that nothing intelligible could be made out of his words. Moore then went to the house of Chief of Police Scrafford and noti fied him. The latter summoned Dr. Lee and procuring a carriaire, brought the in jured man up town to the Occidental hotel where the surgeon dressed his wounds and did everything possible to render him com fortable, and it is believed that, while the injuries are quite severe, they will not prove fatal. About 2 o'clock one of the neighbors heard a noise and loud talking which iasted about rive minutes. Shortly afterward she arose to close a window and, on looking out, saw a man cros. the street from iMrert-js house to the fence in front of Mrs. Philip Weber's residence, and taking hold of the fence began walking along the sidewalk northward. As the man staggered in his walking, she supposed him to be intoxicated and thought nothing more of the matter. this man, it appears, was otrege, tor hy following the blood stains which he left as he walked, they are found to lead from his house to the stable where he was found this morning. In searching the premises to ilny Henry Gerber found in the alley back of the house a heavy club about three icne I.mg which had evidently been used in doing tlie deed, as it was covered with blood and had hair sticking to it in several places. The party or parties evidently en tered the house through the back door or through a window and struck the uufortun ate man as he lay in bed asleep, as the bed ding was covered with blood and there was a large pool of blood on the floor beside the bed. Strege had apparently made a hard tight, as everything about the room Was dis arranged and blood was spattered all over the piace. The blows were given principally over the head and face and that some of them did not prove fatal seems almost miraculous. The evident intention of the party or par ties was robbery, as Strege had been some what free about exhibiting his money and he had at the time 2S0 in gold in the house; they failed, however, to secure this as it w.i found this morning in his bed. The officers are at work on the case, but up to the time of our going to press nothing of importance had yet been learned. Reception. Last Tuesday evening a re ception was tendered ilev. Mr. Kautner and wife at the residence of Mr. O. O. Hogue. At an early hour the friends began to gather in, ami by nine o'clock the several large rooms were tilled to overflowing. After a short lime pleasantly spjnt in a socird way, Miss Maud Hoffman favored the visitors with a reading from Shakespeare. This was fol lowed by another Shakespearean reading by Mp. H. G. Davi. These, with other exer cises, were interspersed with instrumental and vocal musi : by Mrs. Ida Caliahau. Miss Nettie Spencer, Miss Horteuse Greffoz and Miss Carl llitchens. Tnis beautiful pro gramme was followed by refreshments which but to partake was to enjoy. Mr. and Mrs. Kautner are well known by most of the citi zeus of Corvallis and thtir welcome home was something more than au outward dis play. As has been hitherto announced, Mr. Kautner has been elected pastor of the Congregational church of this city, and it is to be hoped that his work in this com munity may prove very pleasxut to him and his lady. Horticultural Society. The meeting of the state horticultural so ciety will be held at Hood River,-July 12th and 13th, 1892. An excellent and instructive program has been pre pared. The citizens of Hood River are making every effort to provide for the entertainment of those attending; a committee, on accomnaodation and hospitality has been 'appointed, and a most cordial reception will be accorded all. The hotels have made rates of $1.50 per day. The Union Pacific G. have made the low rate of one fare ($2.55) iound trip, good for ten days, with the priviledge of returning by boat from the Cascade. The Southern Pacific Co. will return mem bers over its lines from Portland at one-third regular fare. Those desirous of availing themselves of this -opportunity of visiting this section of the country aud enjoy a delightful ride home, on the Columbia, will confer a great favor by notifying the secretary as soon as possible.

Our readers are familiar with the writings of Marian Harland, but also with her sound common sense upon matters of every day life and action. Her name, indeed, is. a household word, and i3 equally well known in parlor and kitchen. Her celebrated cook book, 'Common Sense in the Household." is without a peer and shows tnat she has made a careful study of how to prepare good, wholesome food, in the best manner by the best materials. In this issue we produce a fac-simile iette? from Marion Harland that speak3 from her experience in the highest terms of the unequaled qualities of the Roy al Baking Powder. Housewives every where should read the opinion of such an ex pert and act accordingly. All good cooks, who have used the Royal, are of the same opinion also. Business Consolidation. Messrs. Chase an.l Gardner, the photographers, have con solidated their business and will iu the fu ture conduct their business at the corner of Third and Monroe streets. Both these gentlemen have in the past established rep utations for doing only the best of work aud it is their intention to sustain their rep utation in the future. They propose to make a specialty of crayon, iuk, pastnl and water color work, and are in a position to guarantee the yery best work at reasonable rates. Whenever you wish any thing in their line done do not fail to call on them for it. DUMPLINGS. POT PIES. PUDDINGS. CAKES.
