was in Corvallis Wednesday. Ho
relates a peculiar experience which
his wife had with two of her chick
ens. Last winter one of the fowls
became quite sick and this thrifty
German frau did not propose to let
it die Without an investigation as to
the cause of its illness. Acting
under this impulse, she placed the
sick chicken upon the operating
table, and with a sharp knife made
an incision in the breast and re
moved the craw. In this organ was
found about four inches ot hemp
rope. This wa3 taken out, the
craw and outer skin were sewed up
and the chicken is well and hearty
today. A few weeks ago another
chicken fell ill. The same investi
gation disclosed the same ailment
four inches of rope the same reme
dy was applied and the same re
sult followed.

The last legislature authorized
Gov. Geer to appoint six individuals
to represent Oregon at the Paris
exposition, but as the state does not
pay the smallest item of the ex- j
pense it is not thought probable !
that any of those appointed will j
attend. It seems like presuming
on great individual interest to ex
pect a man appointed to represent j
nis state in anytning, to ao it en
tirely at his own expense.
The members of tho Catholic
church gave a delightful party to
the confiimation class at the resi
dence of Mrs. Greffoz Monday ev
ening. Among other features of
the evening there were stereopticon
views exhibited by Father Jurek.
The series of views were from the
Life of Christ as interpreted and
portrayed by the famous painters
of all ages. Refreshments con
cluded the festivities of the evening.
It is very strange how the petty
affairs of life go bo contrary to
human desires. The latest and
best to relate is what befell our
former fellow citizen, A. W. Rose.
He was recently in town from his
ranch near Chitwood, and drove
back home, consuming two days.
It rained one day and not only
soaked A. W., but a setting hen he
was taking over to the ranch on a
guarantee that she would sit, 'She
now refuses to do so.
Elsewhere in these columns will
be found a notice to bicycle riders.
The notice sets forth the action of
the county court in the matter and
what steps the sheriff will take to
collect the tax. In case any per
sons refuse to pay the tax there is
sure to be a test case made of the
matter, as the sheriffs actions are
defined for him by the court. How
ever, the sooner the tax is paiu the
better so far as path construction is
concerned, as it takes money to
build paths.
The Corvallis sawmill has just
completed an order for 10,000 feet
of fencing lumber for C. B. King.
Mr. King is having a mile of mova
ble fence constructed and Al Kemp
is doing the work. The plan of
building a fence that can be used to
enclose any portion of the farm that
is desired, and moving to another
point when the pasturage becomes
poor, is becoming quite popular and
Mr. King is light in the van when
improvements are being considered.
The sawmill has also shipped a
carload of 3-inch lumber to the
Summit to be used by the supervis
or of that district in building cul
verts and bridges.
He Dlseeverefl a Pure -White - Sunflower
Entirely Mew -to Botanists.
Mr. A. J. " Johnson, forestry ex-:
pert, visited Corvallis and the Ag
ricultural college last week on his
return to Portland, from Southern
Oregon. Mr. Johnson collects for
nearly all the botanical gardens all
over the world, and has orders for
any kind of plant which is rare and
beautiful and worthy of cultivation.
He has not made any new discov
eries of late, but for the past month
has been traveling to all sorts of
out-of-the-way places, collecting the
roots of rare aud curious plants,
which he located and marked last
summer, but which could not be
removed at that time. In this col
lecting tour he has experienced
many hardships and difficulties in
finding the plants he was after, as
they were mostly in altitudes of
from 4,000 to 6,000 feet, and most
of them were still buried under the
snow.
He first went to the Wallowa
country, where last summer he dis
covered a pure white sunflower
entirely new to botanists rare,
beautiful and-valuable commercial
ly on that account. When he reached
the place where ho had discovered
the plant, after traveling five miles
over frozen snow two feet in depth,
he found the spot he had marked
and alter shoveling away the snow
he found the roots, and as the
ground was not frozen, had but lit
tle trouble in securing some fifty of
the roots. As soon as these were
planted in his nursery they started
to grow and made as much growth
in three or four days as other plants
have in as many weeks.
About May 1, Mr. Johnson will
leaye for the mountains of Eastern
Oregon, to collect dati for com
pleting his report of the forests of
Oregon, for the Geological Survey.
This report will be a voluminous
and comprehensive affair, contain
ing a description of every forested
township in Oregon, with many
illustrations.

Death of Mrs. Denllnger.
Word was received in this city
Tuesday of the death of Mrs. Harry j
Denhnger, who went to INew Mex
ico recently for her health. Mrs.
Denlinger was the daughter of
Henry Hill, of Independence. Her
family resides at that place and
her funeral will be held there to
day. She was well known in Cor
vallis, where sho was engaged for
some time as teacher in the public
schools. Shortly after securing this !
position, she married Harry Den
linger, but continued her work in
the school until their departure
from this city. As a teacher she
was universally loved by the pupils
of all grades, and a beautiful floral
piece prepared by them, has been
sent to Independence to be placed
upon her grave. Miss Garland
Hill, a sister of the d.-ceased, who
is attending the agricultural col
lege, has gone home to be present at
the funeral.
bany, formerly on the run between
this city and Portland, has been
secured by Paul Mohr's Steamboat
Co. for service on the Columbia.
She will be used as a construction
boat between The Dalles and the
terminus of the Portage road at the
Big Eddy. It is thought that she
will be utilized to transport ties
from various points on the river to
Big Eddy. She is in command of
Capt. Johnstone, who, with a com
petent crew, took her to the middle
river Wednesday. One of the pur
poses that the Albany will be used
for is to determine how great is the
danger of navigation on the Three
Mile Rapid. This is a very wild
place and at no point aloDg its
banks could a man be buried, and
there is not a thing along its shores
to which a line can be made fast.
The river pours through a narrow
gorge of shelving rock; there is a
rapid current and nearly always a
heavy sea. It takes a strong boat
to stem the current and it is thought
that the Albany will meet all re
quirements, as she is light draught
and has been proved to be the swift
est boat on the Upper Willamette.

Wednesday evening, arrangements were
perfected whereby the city of Corvallis
allows the college to connect its sewer

GROCERY selling in a depart
ment store no longer attracts
attention because of its novelity,
but for the reason that the best of
food products costs less- there than,
the exclusive grocer charges.
This store is easily in the lead in

partment is appreciated by well
posted buyers because it offers an
opportunity to supply the-family
needs in this line at closest prices.
Country produce taken.
WHENEVER you find a

at close prices. We invite the
attention of our customers to an
especially fine and complete line
of neckwear just opened.
SHOE value consists in wear,
style and comfort. If any
of the three are lacking the foot
wear is not good value. Our
shoes are strictly reliable in qual
ity, therefore long wearing; they
are stylish, as can be seen at a
glance ; they are comfortable, be
cause fitted by an expert, AH
our customers will bear out these
statements. We believe this is
the best place for you to buy shoes,
and solicit your patronage.

Every item offered below is proof of
the above assertion.
The quotations are only a very meagre representa
tion of the values which place this, store unquestionably
in the lead. This store is crowded, with the most com
plete and comprehensive stock of dry goods we have
ever shown. Every line was bought at close prices, and
the goods will be passed along to our customers at the
usual small margin of profit which has made this store
so successful and popular.
The New Spiring Parasols
Are Here,
This store offers many attractions to
economical buyers.
A store that relies solely on low prices to -win and
hold trade is playing ' 'a losing game. ' ' To win such
success as this store is winning it is necessary that the
low prices should represent goods of strictly reliable
quality. Every woman in this city who is posted on dry
goods, and who takes the time to compare goods and
prices will admit that our values are superior. We make
and hold customers by treating them right. We lead;
others follow.
F you want a stylish spring hat
for $3.00, just as good as the
$5.00 kind, come here. The only
difference is in the absence of the
name, and "what's in a natne."
If you are willing to pay two dol
lars for a name, buy the five dol
lar hat. If you want to pay only
for the ftai, come here. Agent
for Kingburry hats.
"UR glove stock is the best
patronized and most popular
in this vicinity, because we make
a constant effort to show a larger
line, and offer better glove values
than any other local dealer. It is
not easy to do a satisfactory kid
glove business. It requires long
experience, careful buying, con
scientious selling and a willing
ness to be content with a small
profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.
That's why Corvallis women can
get better gloves here for the
price than elsewhere.
13 EFORE your spring gown
are fitted a new corset wil
be needed. That goes almost
without saying, for everyone
knows that an ill-fitting or worn
out corset spoils the fit of the
dress. Our corset woman can
help customers select the proper
model one that will improve the
figure. Consult her and you will
be better satisfied with your cor
set, and the fit of your dresses.
Prices from 50c to $1.50.
RECENTLY advances have
taken place in all lines of
cotton goods. Before the advance
we stocked up with cords of do
mestics shirtings, sheetings,
ginghams, prints, and other cot
ton goods. We are now selling
these goods at just about what
other merchants have to pay for
them at present prices. You will
find this store a good place to sup
ply your needs in this line.
