Notwithstanding the predictions
that the prune crop of this vicinity
would be almost a total failure, it is
now expected that in this county
there will be quite a yield. A very
thorough examination of the big
orchard of the Benton Count'
Prune Co. a few days ago showed
that the trees were so thickly set
in many instances that they could
not possibly mature. Should the
setting of fruit on many of the
trees fail to drop off or thin out at
a later ' date the trees will break
down under weight of fruit, so flat
tering are the prospects at present.
The meeting of creditors in the

has been done by the State School
Superintendent. To do this he has
asked several of the county school
superintendents to assist him,
among them being Supt. Penman,
who, owing to other school work in
his county, was unable to go. Supt.
Denman was to have had charge of
the work at the blind and reform
schoul. Supt. Ackerman deserves
much credit for the efforts he is
putting forth in advancing the
school interests of our state. He is
organizing the work throughout the
state as it never was before. The
people of our state made no mistake
in selecting him to represent them
in this department of state.

prized by the old governor.
DRIVING TEAM.
Heiiry Kuebli Drives Out of Benton
Sheriff Brings Him Back.
At the hour of 1 o'clock last
Thursday afternoon, during the
time the attention of most citizens
was attracted by the circus, the
team of Mrs. S. A. Cooper was
stolen. They had been driven to
town by Mr. Allen, a nephew of
Mrs. Cooper, and hitched to the
rack at the Wade corner. As soon
as it was discovered that the- team
had been stolen Mr. Allen swore
out a warrant, and started in com
pany of Sheriff Rickard in pursuit
of the team. They found that the
party having the team had gone to
ward Independence and followed
after as rapidly as possible. Fri
day morning between 8 and 9
o'clock the party was overhauled
within a couple of miles of Salem.
He made no resistance when ar
rested, and stated that be had camp
ed Thursday night in a vacant
house a few miles north of Inde
pendence. He had some feed for
the horses in the wagon when taken
into custody.
The prisoner's name is Henry
Kuebli, and he gave his age as only
17, but he has the appearance of
being older. He is rather a small
fellow, dark complectioned and with
dark hair. He states that he was
born in New York City, where he
has a mother, three sisters and a
brother, but that he recently came
north from San Francisco. Kuebli
stole a ride from Albany to Corval
lis on the circus train of Norris &
Rowe Thursday morning. When
captured he told the sheriff that he
just wanted to take a ride, as he
was tired of walking, and that he
had no particular place of destina
tion in view. It is generally pre
sumed now that he has a destina
tion in sight.
Saturday morning Kuebli was
given a hearing before Justice Hol
gate, E. L. Bryan being his counseL
Kuebli waived examination and
was bound over in the sum of $300
for his appearance at tho Novemhor
term of court; in default of which
he was placed in the county bastile,
where in all likelihood he will re
side until said date. This makes
four prisoners at present confined
in the county jail; two from Lin
coln county on charge of burglary
and larceny, and two whose mis
deeds occurred in Benton, one for
stealing a coat and vest and Kuebli
for stealing a team and wagon.
took a private conveyance for
Corvallis, arriving here Sunday
evening. Mr. Healy, while only
a resident of this city for a short
time, has come to be favorably
known. For a time he was a
member of the firm of Healy &
Howell, grocers, but Mr. Howell
retired and his former partner is
continuing the business. His
bride has lived in this com
munity for many years, and is
generally esteemed. We wish
the happy couple a prosperous
and joyous life journey.
The Alsea Road.
At its session last week the com
missioners' court offered a helping
hand in improving the road in Al
sea. A petition from W. Tom, re
citing the condition of this highway
and the strenuous efforts of the citi
zens of Willamette precinct, in
which most of the road lies, to bet
ter its condition, was given earnest
consideration and the relief asked
for was granted. Owing to jthe
small number of residents in that
road district it is impractical for
them to properly work the road,
but much has been accomplished by
them. It was shown that a portion
of the road, known as the new grade,
needed to be corduroyed, and that
1500 pieces of timber would be suf
ficient to place this grade in good
condition. Estimates place the cost
of cutting and hauling these timbers
at $35, and the court ordered that
amount expended, the people of
that section offering to place them
in position without charge.

Summer Resorts.
To the" mountains our people in in
creasing I numbers yearly look for those
days of relaxation and recreation neces
sary to maintain the human machine in
fair working condition. The languorous
sloth of the seashore proves very seduc
tive while it lasts, but man- have de
cided that the annual outing should pro
vide not only radical change of air and
surroundings, but also such stimulation
of flagging energies iiswill provide brawn
and vigor for tho return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble, the balsam of the mountain
pines, aud the clear, unadulterated
mountain air.
In this direction the Shasta Route now
affords a wealth of attractions. The en

Or if you look for healing waters, none
better can be found, hot or cold, than
the springs of Ashland, Colestin, Auder

flROCERY selling in a depart-

attention because of its novelity,
but for the reason that the best of

partment is -appreciated by well
posted buyers because it offers an
opportunity to supply the family
needs in this line at closest prices.

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 Spring Parasols
Are Here,
This store offers many attractions to
economica 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.
IF 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 name."
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 kai, come here. Agent

UR glove stock is the best
V 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.

them at present prices. You will
