There is money in sheep and

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.

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

torios "Creation" and "Elijah"
will be given in the early part of

for this event and considering the

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.

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.

Corvailis, Or., April 17, 1901.
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.

A Juvenile Troubadour.
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.

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

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.

is at present in Eastern Oregon
with Prof. E. R. Lake, looking up

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.
