Corvallis is to g'-t the name and Al bany (perhaps) the game in the lateit evolution of the road,, which started o -t as the Willamette Valley & Cuast kn.' road. The Albany Democrat of Wed nesday said: "Articles ef incorporation were filed with the secretary" of state to day (Wednesday), which mean a ."' .deal for the future of the road pasting ia-it through Albany, as well as for Al bany and. the Willamette Valley and Or egon generally.

Later supplemental articles will be filed providing, fur the building of a branch line from Priv.eville to Pendleton. All of this i good news, that speaks for itself, is authentic aud may be relied upon." There is not unmixed joy in the above news. The honor there is iu the name will hardly compensate Corvallis for the loss of the central offices, but it is under stood, however, that in the articles of in corporation the head office is xut defin itely fixed at Albany, but it is a cas. of perUaps. As the "busi.-.ess end" of the road will, of course, be established where it will be most convenient, aud as Mr. Hammond Heed not necess-. rily give Corvallis anything, whatever changes are made, our people can only smile and say they like it.

He took one out to the college &nd Prof. Craig, the botanist, and Prof. Coote, hor ticulturist, spsHt several hours trying to identify it. Its general appearance would indicate that it belongs to the holly fami ly. It has prickly leaves greatly resem bling holly. But it was resembleuce only, and the professors finally called it an evergreen cherry. " . Mr. Wilson confirmed their judgment. Visiting friends in California a few years ago, he saw on their ranch year an old adebe house, a big evergreen cherry tree, supposed to be over one hundred years old. He brought heme all the seed he could get and has now several hundred thrifty young trees at Chit wood. ... The tree is evergreen and tke cherries ripen about October and hang on the tree after ripening a loag time without deteri orating. The fruit is a genuine cherry, handsome and with a. very pleasant fla vor. . The tree is quite ornamental and grows to a height of ten feet. Will Sins Here.

'' Gone to Eureka. .George Weber and Miss Lydia Kisor were .married Sunday evening, Dr. Thompson, officiating. They started next day for Eureka, C.lifornia, where George is to engage in busiuess with Andy Taylor. , The marriage of George recalls tbe sad accident . that resulted iu the death of Win. Kerr, last spring. The boys were close friends aud together much of the time.' Ou the day that Kerr met his death, the two friends with anothei friend, were fishing out iu the mountains, taking with them two sticks of dynamite. Reaching the home of an acquai ntance, Kerr and Weber went out for a try at the trout; leaving the third fisherman at the house. 'They met with no success and returning, Kerr "touched off" a stick of dynamite "to hear the noise, ""and threw it quite a distance away. Waiting some time and the stick not exploding, Kerr went to it aud started to pick it up when it ; exploded, killing , him instantly. Weber immediately ' secured assistance and the body of the unfortunate boy was brought home. The operations of fate er providence are beyond understanding: One friend c'nt 'off in the prime of life, the other n- happily tasrried and with every proj ect f enjoying a long life.
