A resident of the northwestern

interests in certain nroperties known
as "A Gold Mine.'' The invitation is
welcomed and I believe that w hen the
investrr.entis explained, your correspon
dent will bo an investor in fact.
I desire to state that "A Gold Mine''
is a cleverly written comedy drama that
local talent is preparing to present to
a Oorvallis audience on December
20th. The company presenting the
play is the same that produced "My
Friend from India," and "What Hap
pened to Jones,'' and like tfioso plays,
this entertainment is being given as a
benefit. The organization that enjoys
the fayor of the company in this last
venture, is the Ladies' Coffee Club, and
the money realized trill be given to them
to become a part of their library fund.
The Ladies' Coffee Clab is a part of the
Corvallis Fire Department and was
organized some eighteen years ago to
serve coffee while volunteer firemen
were fighting fires. Their historv is
known. It is enough to say that they
have at all times continued ai active or
ganization and recently have added a
pian for the maintenance of a library,
free to the members and to the firemen.
"A Gold Mine" was made famous by
Nat Goodman vears ago and this fact
serves to recommend it as worthy of
patronage. The shares of stock will be
sold as tickets for the play and continual
dividends of hearty laughter, paid to
investors during.the ontire performance.
The scene is laid in England where an
American named Wolcott goes to dis
pose of a mine he owns at Grass Valley,
California. While endeavoring to nego
tiate a sale to Sir Everard Foxwood.his
sympathies are aroused aud he gives
away the whole mine. His Yaekee luck,
however, serves him beyond- his expec
tations, and as a result of his marriage
he wins not only the woman of his
choice, but gets back again all the min
ing properties he so generously gave
away.
The interest in the play lies in the
amusing situations and complications
that arise. Neither Messrs. Wolcott,
Foxv.ood&Co, their local agent, nor
any member of the caste, has any finan
cial interest in the pky. It is done for
success ofJ.hc library.

conversation with John Logan,
librarian at Portland, was asked
by the latter if he knew Mr.
Johnson in Corvallis?
"Which Johnson?" asked Mr.
Yates.
"Postmaster Johnson," was
the reply.
"We've got two 'Postmaster'
Johnsons," said Mr., Yates.
"Well," said Mr. Logan, "I
mean 'Editor' Johnson."
"We have two 'Editor' John
sens," the attorney replied.
After some thought, Mr. Log
an again ventured to identify his
Johnson "The one that 'dab
bles' in pol'tics, he's the fellow
I mean."
"Both of our Johnsons are
politicians," answered the Cor
vallis gentleman.
"Let's see," said the librarian,
"my Johnson is about 35 years
old."
"Both of rny Johnsons are be
tween 30 and 40," said our
townsman.
A pause ensued, bnt finally
Mr. Logan's face lighted Bp, "I
mean the Johnson who-manied

"Oh yes," said Mr. Yates,
"that's 'B. W.r asd he is alive

There has been considerable dis
cussion of Jaie regarding the condi
tion ot the road leading from town
to the Odd Fellows' cemetery.
It is said that there are a few hun
dred yards of this road, near the
cemetery, that are almost impassi
ble. Tuesday afternoon S. N. Wil
kins and Louis Wilson made a trio
over this roael with a view to devis
ing some means cf improving its
present condition. Work was done
during the summer and fail by the
residents along this highway, but
there was not funds sufficient to
to properly gravel it, consequently
tho work done during the past sea

Slaughter of Ducks.
Was Bound Over.
Chester Rust, arrested last Sat
urday on a charge of larceny of a
cow, particulars of which appeared
in our Tuesday's issue, was given a
preliminary hearing in Justice Hol
gate's court Monday afternoon. As
a result, he was bound over to the
April term of court, with bonds
placed at $250. So fcr bondsmen
have not been secured.
In the preliminary trial, Deputy
Dist. Atl'y Bryson appeared for the
state, while J. N. McFadden repre
sented the defendant. The prose
cution introduced as witnesses, E.
L. Sharp, James Taylor, Mr. Dun
ham, Capt. Robinson and Marion
Bennett, whose evidence was prac
tically given in 1 uesday e Gazette.
The defense waived examination.
The penalty for the offense is one
to fifteen years in the penitentiary.
A Portland reader of the Ga
zette, signing himself "Nim-
rod," writes to this paper under
date Of December 9th, as follows:
"Enclosed find clipping from
Gazette of 7th relative to the
slaughter of ducks. I am glad
to note that you take notice of
such items, and only hope that
the combined press of the state
will thus expose the unwarranted
and flagrant abuse of the hunt
er's paradise. From my office
windsw I can see the largest
game market in the city, and it
was but a few weeks since that I
saw a wagoa load of spoiled
docks damped into the garbage
wagon of a scavenger. The
slaughter should be stopped."

D. C. Rose planted an acre and
a half of corn last spring on his
place west of Corvellis and raised
about 70 bushels, the greater part
of which he fed to hogs. The corn
was of several varieties and did ex
ceedingly well. Mr. Rose says that
while this is not a corn countrv. bv
selecting the proper varieties, plant
ing early and cultivating vigorous

matured here.
At the last meeting of the city
council a petition was presented
by the teachers of the public school,
praying that an ordinance be passed
prohibiting parades of shows dur
ing school hours, as it attracts the
attention of pupils and interferes
with school work. The petition
was referred to a committee, with
instructions to consult with the
city attorney, draw up an ordi
nance and present it at the next
meeting of the council.
Some weeks ago we called atten
tion to the fact that the enterpris
ing citizens of Monroe and vicinity
were in a fair way of seourlnar the
establishment of a creamery at that
point. Last Saturday George D.
Goodhue, manager of the Salem
creamery was in Monroe and after
discussing the matter thoroughly
with many prominent farmers of
that section, deeided to establish a
plant there. In January a three
days' meeting will be held, at
which time Dr. Withycombe, of
the O A C, C. H. Markham, of the
b. 1 . company, and others will in
struct the farmers in the proper
care of dairy cattle, etc. At this
time final arrangements for build
ings will also be completed.
Last Wednesday the centennial
of the establishment of the national
capitot at Washington was cele
brated in that city. This week,
Judge Burnott received from Brady,

medallions of copper, slightly
larger than a silver dollar, hanging
pendant from a libbon of red, white
and blue, lhey were made from
copper lamps and candle-sticks
used in the White House during
the past 100 years. . Upon one side,
