He was going down an incline on the bicycle path at neck-break sneed and suddenly came right onto a pile of rails that had been placed on the path.

The little son of Dr. WithycSmbe had an experience with gunpowder Sunday which gave hiui the im pression that that explosive is quicker than lightning. He poured a quantity of powder into a can and dropped in a match, hoping to jump away before the explosion came, but he didn't. As a result his faee was badly burned and his eyes slightly injured. Dr. Catfley was called and soon had the suffer er testing easily. It is believed that no serious results will follow. The agricultural college is doing a good work by inviting the farmers to Corvallis" and giving them the practical experience of seeing how a silo is made and filled. In the East ensilage has become a neces sity to the dairy interests. If more farmers would take advantage of the valuable opportunities to get practical lessons from the college in farming along some of these new lines their interests would be ma terially advanced.

He was driving a team of young horses and the sudden approach of the ex cursion train scared the team and caused them to run up an embank ment upsetting the hack.

County Court convened as usual, last Wednesday ' Jaly 3rd. Some fairly large bills were allawed and quite a number , or smaller ones The session of the court only lasted one day. . The most important mat ttr that was considered was the in surance of the court house and its contents. An insurance of $35,000 was taken out, the risks being taken by various companies who have local agents in this city. The premiums paid for these policies ag eregated U. Ihis insurance is taken out for a period of three years from date. Altogether there is $40,000 insurance carried on the court house and its contents, $5,000 of which was placed last March, A Blaze of Glory. - The picnic of Benton county ended in a blaze of glory; in Al sea last Tuesday, July 2nd." The Modern Woodman and the Grangers of Atsea united on this occasion. Everything passed of as had been arranged. The pro gram was excellent and nothing was leit undone to make the day a pleasant one. , There were contests between the pupils who recited. Freddie Tharp winning one of the prizes and the other successful contest ant's name was not obtained, One of the most pleasing features ot the day was the free for all contest during the. noon hour. Tha contestants were evenly matcned. iiut alter a careful ex amination of the credited points, it was decided that E. H. Bel knap, J. F. Yates and Sup't G. W. Denman tied for first place. Itis said that each of these gentlemen cleaned their plates, as well as the table for several feet around them. The dinner was pro nounced by all to be tbe best ever prepared by the good cooks of un surpassed Alsea. The fair ladies of this valley had prepared every thing that would in the least de gree please and satisfy the large crowd that had assembled. If any of the" boys 'bfr old Benton are in search of a good cook it will be well for them to quietly enter the peaceful and beautiful valley Alsea, make due investiga tion, before .closing the contract. Tho addresses of Mr. E. H. Belknap on . "Woodcraft" and Mr. J. F. Yates on "The Grange" were especially , entertaining,; .in teresting and well - received. Many complimentary remarks were made on each effort. Dur ing the day there was presented to Atta Grace Oglesby and Lillie Webster eighth grade county graduation diplomas by Sup't Denman m a few words. A. very pretty feature of the program was the procession of the Woodmen anrT Grangers, It is estimated that there were be tween 150 and 200 persons in line. The Dusty band furnished the best of music and plenty of it. These boys are fixtrnes when it comes to Alsea picnics. They have played at every ?-pleaie in this valley for the i past three or tour years. - J udging from pres. ent indications they will continue this :v practice; fAt least it is said that severaLare thinking seriously of making their permanent home in this "Garden- of Eden" of Benton. ' The other contests were enioy- ed bv all. Thev consisted of sawing contests .won byf Tom Vidito and Brick. Rycraft; chop ping contest .won by Tom Vidito. The contestants in the other con tests were not obtained. The days - festivities " closed ; iwith a grand ball in the Grange Hall, under the management of -.Thos. Vidito. ' - " V " .. Margaret; Barry.7---: After bearing , Margaret Barry in one of her recltals.TEarene Field, the ", ehild's" poet, 'wrote: "She plays on the heart strings to such an extent,' that one imag ines a grand symphony is being offered up t God." This is in deed,, a beautiful, tribute,, find onewll merited, as Miss Barry Is unqaestionably the - greatest reader since the late and lament ed Scott-Siddons. In ever? city where she has, appeared, and she has visited all of the"large"onesr ia America, ciatics, and promin ent men of : letters are unanimous in their praise.3 Corvallis should feel proud of her visit, and" this being" a seat "of l learning', she should ibe greeted by ftjarge a-id intelligent audience. fMiss Barry will hold a reception Wed nesday "afternoon at " 3:30 at the First - Presbyterian 1 ehurch- and will deliver a leetare to ladies en the voice.

O sK,ii -r ; ;. ; The Future ."Scorcher." t d -r .-. One of th features of the pa rade at Albany n Ahe Fenrth of July was the :six-year-old son f T. W. Dilley, of this city. The little fellow is; quite a celebrity in bicycle circles.! i He ridei a 12-inch gear wheel !that (was made for him by his fttber.V, On thft ' morning of " the-, Fourth, dressed np in the style of TJncIg Sam,'! j the f little lad started awheel 1 -to .Albany in company with his sister and father. rThe ride was s made in about an hour and a half and the boy .was quite fresh on his 'arrival, w While riding ;the- paraee .ae vras cheered from start to . finish and caused considerable comment 1 He : wis " greatly phased v -with himself and the sensation he was ereatiBg ,5- and grinned - quite Droaaiy new ana then. He rode around town all day and had a great- lime. Daring the day he mounted one 01 the horses .of the merfy-go-round, and, to prove to th po'pulace that he was "all right," he rode with - his hands isi his pockets. In the evening nc starred nome ana when Be got on the Benton county side of the Willamette - there was a oriza fighl in progress. This he de termined .to i witness and when his lathee told him that it was not the ; proper thing for-him to see he raised "Old Ned." He told his father that he had never seen a prize fight and now, that ne nan a enance of his life-time, his father was going to spoil it all. He told his father that he never let him see anything. Dilley, the elder, relented and Young: America saw, the fight After it was all over they came on home. The " boy was some what tired, but stood the trip mighty well. V During the coming winter Mr. Dilley intends making his son a fine wheel that will be mere sait- able to bis size. There art very few six-year-old boys thai ean make a 30 Or 40-mile ride ia a day and not' have to be carried to bed. :,-,-v ..; . . Sunday Train a Success. The first Sunday mail train ever to arrive over the S. P. to Corvallis made the " ronnd trip from Portland to this city last Sabbath. .. While the number of passengers, to arrive -here was small, the Oregoniaa states that the traffio handled was fully up to the week-day business. This, oonsidermg the fact that no attempt had been made to stimulate business for this train and a great many people were not 'aware that it would run, is regarded as an indication that the Sunday service has come to stay. If so many patronize the train on its first trip it is deemed certain that more will travel on it when it shall become known as a permanent institution. leaving Portland -at 7:30 Sun day morning the two coaches were pretty well filled. Most of these passengers left the train at near.by stations, but a number made the run. through. At nearly every station there was a company of eitizens, more or less numerous, to welcome the new train. The bulk of the West Side travel is north of McMianville. Going into Portland ; the train filled tin between McMinnville and Hillsboro so that everv seal- in the train was fully occupied. This seldom happens on week days. The train " crew - which started out ia the morning with the firmly- fixed aotioa that the hew train would be a failure, was obliged to abandon that no tion before getting back and to admit that the first day had been surprisingly successful. The new train brings additional work for the trainmen, so they were not disposed to boom it nnneces-, sarily. It is deemed certain that this will prove the most popular train on the road when it shall become known along tha line. . Suaday's train was in charge of Conduetor M. C. Webster and Engineer . Joseph Kehoe. The service was excellent in every particular. The Pendulum Swung. Old residenters will remember Nat Ste-ffart, who was raised on the -old Stewart farm north of Corvallis a mile or two. In time he drifted to Santa :; Barbara county, ?: California, and ; 'was elected sheriff there. Last year he paid his old home a visit. He was tha , same "hale fellow well met" and wis given a warm wel come. Since,; his: last election his opponent contested the legal ity of, theballot, al tHonga jn at was given a majority 6f"i45 V Otes. A recounti was made and many votes' were cast aside and even then Mr; Stewart eame off victor and the eenr'f declared ' him the sheriff. In alreceat letter to rela tives in "this citj Mrr Stewart, speaking f the contest,"' says: : i "Thrtast few days have de- Iveloped qaite a change, In my J'l ' i(T J iL. 1.-. 1 - DHSiness anairs, uu mc xuujf ic gal contest between lay self and Thps. H Hicks for the sleriffs office in this county came to an end on Tnesday of last week, when the-recottnt and the final selections Of disputed ballots were finished. This left : mo x eight votes ahead in the whole county The pendulum 6f fortnns kept swinging back and forth between the two contestants throughout the proceedings, first one being a few votes ahcafi atd tiles the other," bat at the wind-ap my luck won the last swing." Mr. Stewart hopes to again visit Corvallis in the near fmure and this time he will be accom panied by his family. , County Got Most of It. A sale of all oronertv bid in bv the county at delinquent tax sales, to which the county has acauired iiue, was neiu yesterday morning ... . irom iu 10 11 o'ciock. ; lew bidders were on hand and the county was obliged to bid in all but four or five pieces. It is the policy of the court to hold the : property for taxes which have accrued during the time that the county has had pos session acd not simply - for the taxes ei vne last year. Taxes are due against some of this property since 1888, while a portion of it has only one year's delinquency prior to 1898, the year for whieh the- sale was made. The county, like an individual, must hold prooertv bid in at tax sale for two years before acquiring uue. iieretotore, tax sales save been made ' in August, but under the hew law property bid in by the eeunty at former sales must be sold the first Monday after July 1st. Therefore, property bid in in 1899 will not belong to the county until next August. Additional Local. - Dr. Lowe, the optician, is coming soon. The wise will wait for him. .

The board holds its regular meeting on the 17th. : Investigation has revealed the se cret that has caused so many eggs to be marketed in Corvallis. It is a well-known fact that when a hen does not see the egg she has . laid her disappointment is bitter in the extreme. It is now learned that the poultrymen of this vicinity are aware of this weakness on her part ad. haTe so arranged the nests in their hen houses that the new-born egg rolls out of sight. The hen, not seeing the frnit of her labor, ' ap pears to think that she has been mistaken and lays another egg at once, and so on. . This is said to be why so many eggs arrive in Cor vallis. , . The Homestead says, editorially. speaking of the recent farmer's meeting in this eity: Dr. James 'Withycombe, vice director of the Experiment Station. ; is , worth a hundred thousand dollars a year to the farmers of Oregon. . This may seem an extravagant statement but me trutn of it will be fully ac knowledged ten years from now. To his work and enthusiasm is largely due the change that is tak ing place on Oregon farms a change that will surely soon double the cash income from the land, besides gradually restoring tho virgin fer tility 01 the worn-out soils and con serving the richness of the acres that are bemjr newly brought un der eultiyation. ; , .
