Last week, Mr. West, proprie tor of a livery stable in Eugene, came to Corvallis and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Has kins. , According to Mr. West's story, Haskins hired a riding horse from tha West stables a ceuola of weeks ago, and later returned to the stable with the saddle and bridle and stated that the horse bad taken fright at a. hoff which suddenly crossed the road near Muddy river , a short distance from Monroe,' jampefi into the stream and was drown ed. - ' r, Upon inquiry, Mr. WestJearn ed that Haskins had been sees by parties ofl the. road leading to Junction and Monroe and he was riding the animal at a desperate ffait. Near Monroe it is alleged he was seen walking and driving the horse which was 'badly fagged.

Word reached this office to the effeet that a Mr. Mason, while haul ing prunes to a Corvallis dryer, last Friday, was -thrown from the wagon and the wheel passed over his leg, breaking it. ; The unfortu nate man's given name could not be ascertained and other details were equally meager. v During the reeent rains the prune men continued operations. Al though it-was somewhat disagree able and, they: could" not work to advantage they howed no" weak ness. Some loss with result from the rains, but' if the weather con tinues favorable from now on there will be an - immense amount of prunes saved after all. Jvj Prof. A. S. MoDonald,' who was principal of the Corvallis public schools last year, has purchased the Wasco News, of Wasco, and the People's Republic, of Morrow, and has. consolidated the two papers.

Yesterday, Henry Ambler nego tiated a real estate transfer in which the 80-acre farm of Mrs. F. Rust,-a little more than three miles south of Philomath became the property f C. L. Bodwell.

He is a man of family' and his home prior to eominsr to Oregon was m Lebanon, IS eb. A quiet wedding1 occurred . on Thursday Sept. 26th, near Dusty when J- -W. -Walters and Rachel Woodcock were nnited in marriage. M. .M. Waltz was : the officiating minister.; Mr. Walters' is well known as a lumberman in both Benton and Lane counties, owning the Erie Mills in B.-nton and the Etmira Mills in Lane. " Mrs. Wal ters has spent most of her life in Benton county and is held in reiy high esteem by all.- ?v Many of our -citizens at this sea son of the year are taking a keen interest in the weather. . Of all those who give weather forecasts I R. Hicks, of St. Louis, has the rep utation of being nearest correct 011 all of his prognostications. Accor ding to Mr. Hicks we may expect four storm periods during the month of. Ostober. These periods will be central in the West on the 2nd, 15th, 22nd and 2Gth. Of course the storm does not necessa rily occur on the exact day it may be a tnUe sooner or later, f reeeed iag each storm center there will be some warm weather and following the storm centers there will be cold snaps. There will be a bout an equal division of fair and bad weather during the month. All of the storms will travel - from west to east In some portions of the west there will be slight snows daring this month. Mr. Hieks reputation is such that when he says anything about storms it is worth whue for a farmer to keep, his weather eye Our readers will remember the account of the trouble that came to James Lewis, of this city, on account of baying some sheep of Charley Staats, of Polk connty. It 'will bo remembered that, after selling .the sheepMr. Staats took nneeremo&ias' learve for parts unknown, to the ever lasting chagrin of many creditors Mr. Staats and wife wereOver- auled by a creditor while going overland" in : the direction of British Columbia.

Independ ence iinterprise, snowinr the manner in which Mr. Staats was held op: ;' i'.'-r : Jnst as soon as a chanee pre sented itself they drove around and demanded Charley , to thrw up his hands, which he did, and on be'ng informed that he would be expected to Settle Mr. Donty's, M. Wade &, Co.'s and Dr. Allin's accounts, with tha ex. penses ot the ; trip, no : said oe baa nothing to pay with, Upon being informed that the two officers would take the entire oatfit back with them Charley consulted with his wife and the little sack was broaght forward and something lika $900 counted at. : .Strange to say," they had nothing more thas their camping outfit in the wagons : and weie traveling at a lively rate. Sufficient for the Present. Dwarf Essex Rape. In view of the great loss that oct class has sustained by the sudden aad most lamentable tak ing away of our beloved class mate, Miss Florence Ella Win niford. and still heavier and sad der, the loss sustained by her beloved family, t Whereas, It has - pleased the Sapreme Ruler to remove from oar midst our beloved classmate, whose kind ways aid laving manner endeared her to as. all yet, in this sad honr. we resign to Him" who does 'all things for the best. ;- -: " - - . . Whereas, . It is right for us, as- sympathizing mends ana classmates, to pay our highest tribute to the memory. Of out: de parted friend, be it ; Resolved, That we, as mem bers of the Junior Class of the Oregon Agricultural College, ex tend this as a testirfl&ay of nr deepest sympathy ad commend the bereaved ones to the Great Redeemer. Be It'fSrther " Resolved, - That. 1 a copy Of this, oar deepest heart-felt sym pathy, be forwarded to tha fami ly, and that a copy' of the same appear in our town paper9 aad also spread ea the minutes of our class. E. B. Beaty, Elsie Canfieuv L, L. Burnatjgh, Committee. A partv writing from Green leaf, Or., to the Practical Farm er, has this to say in favor of rape: I iava given Dwarf Essex rape a trial and think it will be worth more to mt than any other single crop. " As an experiment I sowed a pound of the seed in '99. The following winter it was led down . closely by horses and deer, both of which seemed fond of it. Last summer it grew higher than my head, and though it was allawed to get too ripe and I lost half of the seed, yet I saved izyi pounds. I sowed oae-qflarter of an acre on the. 10th of September last; from Christ mas to April 1st I mowed this and fed it daily t two tows, with tha exception of two weeks when thtre was saow on the ' ground, t Then I changed to tha same weiaht of ratabaeas aad there was a decrease fa th milk flow. If a carrot be fed with the rape it is left till every leaf of rape has been eaten.. The plants mowed at New Years were ready to cut aeaia in 2 months. Hogs eAt it greedily. . By sow ing ia JulyT expect to feed it all winter hereafter, and I believe it will take the place of roots which eost mueh more to produce. I milk before feeding it and never detect any odor or flavor f rape in the milk. The Agricultural Department regrets : that rape seed cannot be grown profitably in this country, and the bulk has to be imported. One man in Oregen last year raised 30 acres of rape teed, and it paid better than wheat, r Norman S. Beatly Dead. Norman S. Beatly, a New York capitalist, whe was former ly interested' in ' serving Oregon enterprises, died on the 25 inst. at his home in New York City. Mr. Bentley was associated with Colonel Eger ton T, Hogg and William Eoag ia the old Oregon Paeific Railway enterprise, or, rather, the Willamette Valley & Coast Railroad, which the Ore gon t'acmo succeeded, wun them he also organized the Ore gon Development Company, whieh was allied with the rail road and held the laad afid navi gation interests of ha concern. Mr. Bently never took part in the Oregon management ot these properties, ."but was quite promi- fient 3a the New York end of them. Helald, Batter aad Eggs Short. Ia response to a request from Regent Joha Daly, Capt. J. T. Apperson came np from Oregoa City, Friday. They met to d tetmiae what coarse to follow in the matter of water sn paly at the O A C. It will be remem bered that they , recently bored down frm the bottom of the well over 100 - feet : aad that What water they get eame up :n thai outside of the tabiflg. - The tub ! ing was tlen. raised and again put down, but this time only te a distance of forty - feet. This took it down to a strata of slate, when they secured an abundant sepply of ; water.-X:;This: makes the water supply eome from a depth of about 80 feet Regents Daly and Apperson decided to do nothing farther at present in the matter, as everything indicates that : the water apDly . will ; be snffieient for this year, and to at tempt to better "well enough" might result disastrously. Un der the present - condition they acted wisely in not : jeopardizing their present water Supply at the college. - However, at the elose of the present school veat it may be advisable to do something furthttr to make ample provis ions for the future. Poultry Valuable. In more than a year there has not been a time when a poultry man could, not get 15 cents per dozen for eggs in" this City, This gives value to the hea aad the result is that chickens are scarce ia the loeal market. Well bred poultry is especially scarce in this vicinity. We know f Additional Local. Notwithstanding the great ex pahsion of the dairying' business ia this region ef later the supply of butter is not eqnal to the de mand, and Eastern batter is finding ; Its way to this market again, Last year laere was ne Eastern butter broaght here, bat the long spell of dry Weather tie last summer Bad the effect ot les seniag the ontpat, aad the pop ulation of the city Has been In creasing rapidly; - coaseqaeatly Eastern butter will have to be imported. . Last Spring; when the supply of hatter begaa to ex ceed the demand, a large qan tity some - 150,000 pounds was bought tip and pat in cold Storage. This has been nearly all disposed of . already, and as the present output of the dairies is not enough to supply the de mand the shortage will have te be made good by Eastern butter. Eggs of late hate been scarce, and several carloads have been sent from the East, but none of them, have come- here, so far as known. ; With eggs at 25 cents a dozen in romana ana 10 cents per dezea in Chicago, there id a good margin for importers. After harvest, the output 1 eggs always - Increases, i aad it is said that thete will be more chickens engaged In laying eggs in this section this Fall than eyer betore. It is highly desirable that Oregon should produce enough eggs and batter for home consumption, at least. Oregoniaa. - H. S. & M. Hart Schaffuer & Hart the clothes with a Guarantee for sate only by S.
