Now and then the veil is lifted
from the past and present generation
are given a view of life as it was in
former days. The other day Con
rad Sanstrom, the baker at Hall's,
chanced to pick up a piece of paper
in an old shed deck of August
Hodes' grocery. It was found to
be a letter and it was written in
Portland, December 12, 1859 over
forty years ago. The author was I.
H. Sellers and the missive was ad
dressed to Carrel Friendly. The
letter was not enclosed in an envel
ope, but it is presumed that it was
addressed to this place. It- was
well preserved, quite legible, was
written in German, and among
other things recited the author's
money troubles. From the general
tone of the letter it is readily ob
served that in Oregon forty years
ago life was as full of care as it is
today. Nobody knows of the men
and in all probability they have
passed to the great beyond.
DEATH BY DROWNING.
Wlun Larkins Finds a Watery Grave In
Lemon sIohsH.
Wednesday morning, between 9
and 10 o'clock, while assisting the
Ingram Brothers at their logging
camp on Lemon slough, about three
and one-half miles east of Monroe,
Winn Ltrkins, a well known citi
zen of Dusty, met his death by
drowning. Lemon slough helps to
form an island near the Willamette
rivei, and along its banks the In
grams were getting out logs for C.
K. Spaulding. They were logging
with horses, hitching them to the
logs and pulling them into the
water: as soon as they floated the
dog would be knocked from the log.
In order to accomplish this it was
necessary for the horses to pull out
into the slough to come depth.
The logs were right on the bar and
did not have to be moved more
than thirty feet.
Something like a year ago Mr.
Larkins had the misfortune to cut
himself quite seriously with an ax,
and this was the first time he had
attempted to do anything since.
He was only working as an accom
modation, and until a man could
be secured, as the Ingram Brothers
were a little behind with their work,
the logs being due in the Willam
ette. He was put in charge of the
team, as all he had to do was to
ride the horses in and out of the
water, there being three men to as
sist him. His friends insisted that
he was not able to work, but he de
clared he was. In less than two
hours after he started to work he
was drowned.
Not being acquainted with the
sfcresni, he took them too far out
and got into a hole of deep water.
The horses began floundering and
he was thrown off of the one he was
riding, and falling between them,
was forced under the water. After
the struggling animals had quieted
down and started ashore he came to
the surface and made an attempt to
swim, but there being a slight cur
rent he united a few feet only when
he sank. One of the Ingram boys
had started to his assistance and
had succeeded in swimming within
a few feet of him when the unfor
tunate man sank to rise no more.
When the body was recovered it
was found that there was quite a
mark over the left eye, and the
supposition is that during their
struggle one of the horses struck
Winn with its foot, and to this
more than anything else is at
tributed his death.
In accordance with the law, as
soon as the men recovered the body
they telephoned Coroner Wilkins
and Deputy District Attorney Bry
soa. Both gentleman went up to
the scene of the sad acoident, but
the case was so plain that no offi
cial action was taken in the matter.
In no manner can any blame be at
tached to the men who were work
ing with Mr. Larkins at the time of
his drowning.
Winn Larkins was a young man,
highly respected, and leaves a wife
and three children, besides many
friends to mourn his loss.
About a year ago Mr. Larkins
joined the lodge of Woodmen of the
World, and was a member of Mon
roe Camp. He carried a life insur
ance policy of $1,000 in the order.
He wiU be buried at Bellfountain at
11 a. m. today, under the auspices
of Monroe Camp. Coroner Wil
kins expected to be accompanied by
a number of Woodmen of this city
to attend the funeral services this
morning.

A couple of gentlemen who
attracted attention on the streets
of Corvallis, Wednesday, were
J. W. Harvey and S. M. Fry.
Both gentlemen carried their left
arm in a si ing. In speaking of
the matter they stated that they
had both been employed at Kalt
rider's shingle mill, a few miles
southwest of Dusty, and had
come in contact with the shingle
saw. Mr. Harvev met with his
calamity a few days before Mr.
Fry met with his unfortunate ac
cident. Mr. Harvey had two
fingers cut oft by the saw, one of
which was stuck on again, aua
the hand otherwise lacerated.
He states that his accident was
the result of carelessness to some
deeTee. Mr. Fry says he was
operating in the mill as an
all-around man and trying to
attend two jobs at once when his
thumb was severed. He laughed
and said he never knew where it
went to. so he had no chance to
stick it on again.
Both gentlemen are making
the most of the matter, and jok
ingly remarked that when they
drove to town each held a rein
on the horse, that in tying their
shoes they operate a string each,
and at the table one uses the
knife and the other the fork
Hence it will be seen that, if
misfortune was to be the portion,
it was a good thing for them that
it came almost simultaneously.
NOW IN REHEARSAL.
The Uproarons Comedy "What Happened
to Jones" to be Presented .
Tuesday Night.
A Close Shave.
A Benton county man's team
came pretty near causing serious
trouble Tuesday evening. The
following account is given by the
Herald: L. Williamson, who
lives at Wells, Benton county,
was preparing to start home,
when his team became frighten
ed at some iron pipe which he
placing in the wagon, and
was
ran away,
across the
speed, and
Mrs. M. E
The team headed
big bridge at full
about midway met
Prettyrhan, her son
and daughter in a buggy. The
runaway team collided with the
latter, but strange to say the
heavy lumber wagon was over
turned and the team stopped,
without damage to the buggy or
occupants. The harness of both
teams was broken to pieces, and
it was remarkable that no greater
damage was done. Mrs. Pretty
man's first impulse, when she
saw the runaway team coming,
was to iump out, but ". she
could only leap in front of the
oncoming horses or over the side
of the bridge about ioo feet into
the river, so she sat still which
fortunately was the best thing,
resulting very luckily for all concerned.
Emboldened by their successes in
former efforts in this line and incited by
a committee anxious to obtain funds
from whatever source, the local company
ot players are preparing for presentation
on the evening of July 3rd, the delight
ful farce-comedy "What Happened to
Jones. '
While Jones is much in evidence dur
ing the two hours necessary for the pro
duction of the play, the title i in a meas
ure a misnomer, for it is not so much
what happened to Jones as what he
causes to happen to those so unfortunate
as to come in contact with him, that
make up the incidents of the comedy.
Prof. Goodly, a staid old student of an
atomy, possessed oi a tyramcal wile, a
maiden sister of questionable age, two
lovely daughters, a mischeivous ward
and a brother who is the Bishop of Bal-
larat, is induced by Richard Heatherly,
a suitor of the professor's daughter,
Marjone, to attend a prize fight The
building is raided by the police, and in
escaping, the professor has his eye
blacked and his clothes badly torn. He
and Bicbard seek refuge in the profes
sor's study and are followed by Jones,
whom they neversaw before, but who is
also fleeing from the police. He is a
drummer for a hymn book house and
carries playing cards as a side line. In
his struggle with the police he has lost a
coat tail. The loss will serve to identi
fy him and the officers are at the door.
At this critical moment, Helma, the ser
vant girl, appears with a suit of clothes
intended for the Bisop who is expected to
arrive the next day. Jone6 dons the Bish
op's clothes and when the police arrive
they find him assuming the role of that
reverend gentleman. Now, it transpires
that none of the characters, except the
professor, have ever seen the Bishop, and
when the ladies appear they accept Jones
as that gentleman, and the curtain falls
with them in the drummer's arms.
The second act only increases the com
plications. The real Bishop arrives, is
mistaken for Jones and taken to prison.
The maiden sister believes Jones is her
betrothed, and makes love to him violent
ly. Cissy, however, has probed the mys
tery and Jones divulges the secret to her.
William and the policeman do their share
towards muddling matters. The play
ends with an exposure of the impostor,
and Alvina in possession of the Bishop.

Somehow or other the impression is
said to prevail in Albany that the "High
land Brigade," advertised as one of Cor
vallis' leading attractions for the cele
bration, is a local combination. This is
not the case at all. The company is
composed of artists residing in Portland
and San Francisco and are all natives of
the highlands of Scotland. They were
secured by the Corvallis committee at
large expense and will provide a novel
and interesting entertainment. The com
pany consists of seven people. Their
entertainment will be free and will be
given in Highland Costume, on a raised
platform to be constructed on Main
street between the Occidental Hotel and
the Arcade. The company consists of
Prof. Moon, champion bag-piper, winner
of 5,700 prizes ; Prof. J. P. Robertson,
renowned hornpipe and sword dancer;
James Rudiman, piccolo soloist and
dancer; and J. W. Sharp, Misses Rosa

In speaking of the crop pros

Charley Taylor arrived in Cor

Mrs. Mandana C. Tharp ar
rived home Tuesday from La
Grande, where she had been in
attendance during the sessions of
the state meeting of the G. A.

highly of a patriotic address de
livered by this lady before the
convention. Mrs. Tharp was
re-elected department inspector
for Oregon.
While picking cherries yester
day, Joe Emrick fell from a tree,

Wm. Hogan, of Albany, and his

them and you will agree with us.

fjROCERY 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
this respect. Our grocery de
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
properly organized and
rightly conducted men's furnish

attention of our customers to an
especially fine and complete line
of neckwear just opened.
SHOE value consists in wear,

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
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.
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 yon are willing to pay two dol
lars for a name, bay the five dol
lar hat If you want to pay only
for the hat, come here. Agent
for Kingburry hats.
OUR 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.

be needed. That goes almost
without saying, for everyone
knows that an ill-fitting or worn

model one that will improve the
figure. Consult her and yon will
be better satisfied with vonr 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 uo with cords of do-
A.
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 fer
them at present prices. Yotl will
find this store a good place to sap
