A few days ago an other large raft ef logs was taken from the mouth ef the Luckiamute to Salem. This raft contained in the neighborhood of 90,000 feet. Logging operations were com menced by C. K. Spaulding & Co. on the Luckiamute last fall. The state board of education has granted a life diploma to Miss Lena McCormick of the Corvailis public schools.

There is money in sheep and h028. and th farmer who has a number of these animals, and who always manages his business as systematically and economically as the average merchant does nis, is making money. Last week Cal Yates sold twenty shoates, which have been running on fall wheat and cost him practically nothing, for five c-jnts a pound. As thev averaged 100 pounds, be got $100 for the lot. He has thirty cotswold merino wethers which sheared 12 pounds of wool apiece. At 12$ cts. per pound for wool, the fleeee of each shep is worth $1.50. The sheep averaged 120 pounds in weight. With mutton selling at 3 cents, each sheep will bring $3.90; or $5.40 including the value 'of its wool. W. A. Sanders, tee watchmaker H'gh-class Vaudeville at the Opera House tonight.

It is only one eight horse power, but it is used to operate the forge in the blacksmith shop connected with the plant. Tuesday afternoon, from 2 to 5 o'clock, Mrs. J. Fred Yates enter tained about fifteen ladies of the Afternoon Reading Club. Deli cious refreshments were served and a most enjoyable afternoon passed. Mrs. Yates is a charming hostess and always makes an affair of this nature memorable. S. L. Kline, in company with an other gentleman, drove over to Al bany and back Wednesday after noon. They found the road in ex cellent condition. Mr. Kline says repairs on the Albany bridge are progressing rapidly. New bents are being put in, and new flooring. The first span of the biidge has already been planked. It is now assured that the "Fes tival of Music" will be a go. All doubts are at an end and the Ora torios "Creation" and "Elijah" will be given in the early part of next month. Between arranging for this event and considering the matter of Fourth of July celebra tion the citizens of Albany are fairly busy at present. D. B. Irvin. of Salem, was in Corvailis during the first of the week. His business was to ascer tain the extent of the damaee caused to his building by the fire last week. Mr. Irvine speaks in highest praise of the woik done by the hre department on that occa sion. Dave seemed quite at home during his sojourn on his old "stamping grounds." O.C.Smith, of West Center, O., arrived in Corvailis Tuesday. He is a nephew ef our fellow-townsman, Geo. W. Smith. The young man has been in Oregon only a short time, but seems quite favorably im pressed with the western state. If he succeeds in finding something to engage in that is suitable to his taste he may make this oity his future home. George Smith says that his nephew is the first relative by the name of Smith he has seen in over 30years, and the young gen tleman new in the city was born after George left home. We hope that the young- gentleman may find this part of the West so de lightful that he will remain here. During the past few days the mayor and members of the city council have been making a most thorough and personal canvass of the sanitary condition of this citv. The report will be found in another column. It sets forth many good reasons for cleaning up and beauti fying our city, aside from the de mands of health. In many in stances it was found that the law regulating these matters had been violated,- most likely from the city law and carelessness regarding nature's laws of health. It is hoped that a perusal of the report will stimulate these who are re sponsible for these uncleanly con ditions to make an effort to remove them. Last Monday, - Mayor Crawford presented the library of the Cor vailis public schools with sixteen volumes by standard authors. They comprise the Oliver Optic series and other juvenile works, constituting a gift that the teachers, as well as the pupils, appreciate. Principal McDonald expressed his appreciation' of the mayor's gift and says that beyond doubt the example will be followed by many people in this city who have books that have been read and are cf no particular value to their owners. Anybody having a book that they are willing to contribute to the library will help a worthy cau3e along by doing so. Such an act will not only contribute to the edu cation of the children, but will give them pleasare as well, and will as sist them in forming the habit of reading good books. Only Three Criminal Cases. A special term of circuit court for Benton county was held by Judge Cleland, April 8th, at which time adjournment was taken until April i6th. On that date Judge George H. Burnett opened court at i:p.m. The docket was so light that court ad journed for the term Wednesday evening at io o'clock. There were but three criminal cases on the docket, and only one jury trial. The case of the State vs Chap man, for bigamy, was continued, owing to the absence of the prin cipal witness for the prosecution on account of sickness. Chester Rust, charged with larceny of a cow, pleaded guilty, and made a statement in which he claimed that the animal had persisted in breaking into his place and annoying him greatly. He was finally aggravated into killing her. Judge Burnett sen tenced Rust to one year in the penitentiary, and the prisoner was taken to Salem bv Sheriff Burnett yesterday morning. The State vs. Elmer Norton, for alleged theft of a buggy ton gue from the barn of Ben Olsen, was the only jury trial. The de fense produced pretty strong evi dence to show that Norton had purchased the buggy tongue in CorVallis from another party. The matter went to the jury at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The vote stood seven to five for ac quittal. Finally, at io o'clock p. m., the jury, not having had supper up to this time, reported that it was unable to agree. The case will come up for a re-hearing at the next term of court. CIVIL ACTIONS.

These were spread in full upon the journal of the court. Report of Health Committee. During the past few days the undersigned in the capacity of health committee' of the city of Corealli&, have made an inspec tion of the streets and alleys of the citv , and find that from a sanitary point of view,- and from consideration of self respect and progress, and from the spectaole presented to strangers who may think of locating here, or who may be passing through or visit ing here, Corvailis requires a thorough and general clean-np. We find that numerous residents conduct their kitchen water and filth to the streets and alleys where, not having connection with sewers, it collects in quan tity, further stagnates, and be comes an ever present menace to the health of the city. We find that manure heaps of long stand ing are maintained n lots and in alleys, forever giving out noisoma and unhealthy , odors- Wa find that residents who, wish to give their own premises an attractive appearance, carry the retuse and garbage therefrom to the streets and alleys to become a nuisance to the public. We find that many residents .allow large quantities ot wood to re main in the streets and alleys from year to year. Wa find that numerous tradesmen, apparently not having necessary space in their places ot business, utilize public streets and alleys to facili tate their own private enter prises. In several instances we notice tbat enterprising individ uals have fenced ublio streets and alleys for personal use. These conditions, we believe. are detrimental to the Interests of the city, and are contrary to city ordinances. The laws cov ering these matters have not been vigorously enforced, pre sumably because public opinion nas hoe demanded their amerce ment, and the committee had ho idea that the city was in as vile a condition as it is, so that in our opinion a change of senti ment as to the enforcement of the ordinonces and the cleaning up of the city will lead to much better conditions. It will at least add to the construction ef wers, the consumma tion of which will enable resi dents to easily dispose of their sewerage. This accomplished we shall have made a long step in the direction of a clean and healthfe! city. In the mean time it is the duty of the chief ot police under the instructions already given by this committee, to notify resi dents and property owners, that they are required to clean awav all filth, garbage and sewerage from about their premises, and it is hoped that the persons so notified will comply without the necessity of the city taking re- eoarse to the law. Let ns have a general clean-up, and the beau tifying work. committee can go to J. W. Crawford, Mayor. J. R. Smith, Chr. Street Com. S. L.- Kline, Chr. Finance Com. J. M. Nolan, Chr.

Some youngsters with proclivi ties for mischief and capacity to de stroy have amused themselves by etching their initials in the stone railing to the steps at the front en trance to the court house. The officials are much aggravated, and in the event of a repetition of this offense, arrests will undoubtedly follow. Sol Landis, of Albany, was in Corvailis this week, and while in conversation with W. G. Lane, dis covered that they had been 6chool mates together in Indiana. Both saw service in the civil war, and in 1865, when Mr. Lane was lying in bed from the effeets of illness con tracted in the army, Landisf called to visit him. From that time un til this week neither knew anything of the whereabouts of the other. The Strollers Tonight.

A week or ten days ago, Cor vallisites were entertained on the principal corners of Main street by a small boy in knickerbockers strumming a banjo to accom pany his high treble voice. That his efforts were highly appreciated was evidenced by the liberal contribution of dimes and nickels he received. The Engene Register furnishes this interesting bit of history con cerning him: Although the lad hails from Columbia county, Missouri, he doesn't have to be shown. He is a manly little fellow, and not withstanding his tender age ef 11 summers, is an excellent per former on the banjo, violin and piano. His voice is of excep tional raare and power, and he has quite a repertoire of droll and catchy parodies and popular melodies. Quite a little story of pathetic heart interest and heroic self sacrifice oonters around this lit tle fellow. While he performs with seemingly happy mien and entertains with rollicking song the careless throngs of the street, his mother and two younger children in a down-town lodging house are bendiag with tender care over the wan and wasted of a husband and father in form the last stages of consaraption. The burden of providing the hapless family with transporta tion and life's necessities rests upon the shoulders of this youth ful prodigy, who seems equal to the task, for in Ihe search of a more congenial climate for the invalid the family's itinerary has extended from Texas up north through the Western States, and lastly into Oregon. While other lads of his age are roaming the streets and violating the curfew ordinance, this man ly little lad k who provides for a whole family from his scanty earnings, pursues- the even ten or of his way unconscious of the fact that he is one of nature's noblemen in embrvo.

Newth, wife of Dr. Newtb, occurred at her home in Philomath, Monday, April 15th. Interment occurred at the Newton cemetery, Wednesday. Rev. Cotton conducted the funeral services at Keezel chapel. Mabel A. Woodword was born in Iowa, October 4, 1857. She was married to Dr. Newth ia Kansas, December 25, 1880. The family moved to Oregon in 1889, settling in Ver nonia, Columbia county. They moved to Philomath in April, 1897. Mrs. Newth leaveB a husband and three children. While in Oregon City, recently, Dilley, "the fixer," had a conversa tion with our late townsman, Geo. Bigham. During the course of his remarks, "Soda" related a story that shook Dilley's confidence in his veracity. "Soda" said he had caught a 45-pound salmon just be low the falls, but just as it reached the surface the line broke and the fish got away. "Hew did yen know how much the fish weighed?" quick ly asked Dilley. . Bat "Soda" had been in tight places before, and he replied: "I could tell by the ccales on the fish." M. Schmidt, who formerly ran the Occidental hotel in Corvailis, but who is now the landlord of the McClallan house in Rosebnrg, is soon to have a most imposing three story brick to preside over. The Roseburg Plaicdealer says: "The new building is to be constructed According to the ideal of Mrs. Mc Clallan, who has consulted Land lord Schmidt in regard to its ar rangements and other details. Its cost will be at least $14,000, and it will require fully $5,000 to furnish it. Mr. Schmidt has signed a five year lease of the property, with the privilege of retaining it for another five years, if he desires." Prof. V. K. Chestnut, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, who is at present in Eastern Oregon with Prof. E. R. Lake, looking up plants especially poisonous to stock, particularly sheep, has not been able to find as many cases in Ore gon as he expected that he would. He has found one case, however, in which the owner of the Btock lost a number of cattle by poisoning from a source unexpected by him. The poison in this ease was the smut of cheat. The bay made of the cheat was full of the spores and dust of the smut. The effect upon the cattle was not immediate, but the bodies of the dead animals decom. posed with great rapidity. The siiuit was not suspected . by 'the owner, who thought the cattle had been poisoned in some other way. BUYS' STYLISH CLOTHING I KT LOW Vestee Suits Ages 3 to 10 ; prices Jl 50 up.
