Henry Ambler, the hustling real estate agent of Philomath, negotia ted the sale of two farms last week, One was the Alexander farm in Kings Valley, containing 170 acres. It .was sold to Mr. Nelson, late of Minnesota, and the price paid was $900, cash. The other was the Alex Sime farm of 155 acres, near the Pleasant Valley school house. A. W. Pugsley, of South Boise, Idaho was the purchaser of this farm. Ha paid $3,000, cash, and take3 posession at once. Real estate transfers are becoming more numerous in this county and large tracts of land are being devided and subdivided and it naturally follows that in such events the land will be improved and brought to a high state of productiveness. Sheriff Frazier, of Multnomah count, will limit the number of invitations to the hanging of Wade and Dalton to 150. He will begin the erection of tbe scaffold January 15ih. Mr. Fraaier from his obser vance of the two condemned men thinks Wado fired the shot that killed j'oung Marrow, Dalton, he thinks, is sincere in his profession of religion, and still persists in the statement that the pistol was used by Wade, who is trying his best to brave it out without religious con solation. The prisoners occupy ad joining .steel cells, but cannot see each o.thexj) so converse some what "under difficulty. Dalton, Mf " Frazier feels assured, will march tix the scaffold and give up his life witfiout a qualm, but Wade is very likely to break dawn. other is an interior view of Mr. Stettler's meat market, and to judge from the illustration, the market is first-class in all re spects. Mr. Stettler left Corval lis about four years ago and went into business in Weatherford. He has many friends in Corvallis who will be pleased to learn that he has succeeded so well. The following write-up is given: G. Stettler is one of the substantial business men of Weatherford, respon sible for having made the city of the im portance it now is. Mr. Stettler came hera from Oregoa with the opening of the town. He purchased property, en gaged in business" and has constantly been building it up until he now has one of the most complete markets in Oklaho ma and enjoys a trade that is second to none. Mr. Stettler recently moved his market from the south part of the city to his own building on Main street, which is a fine location for business. He has the inter ior well arranged, and carries a large stock of all kinds of meats at all times. Mr. Stettler believes that cleanliness is next to Godliness and his market is al ways kept clean and in order, which makes it quite an inviting place with the first class meats that ar sola. Mr. Stettler believes i the future of Weatherford and has all of his interests here. He is a member of the city coun cil and a faithful worker for the city's interests. Finds a Purchaser. Owing to the long season of litigation over the priority of the numerous liens upon the Hotel Caryallis building and the lots upon which it stands, that fine property has been standing idle for sev eral years. To strangers and ' the unin formed it has been standing as a monu ment to a bad business investment, or as evidence that Corvallis had receded from an ill-timed effort to advance com mercially. This is not true, and the hope is now held that the Hotel Corvallis will soon be earning something for its owner, and incidentally for the city of Corvallis. This was made possible when the su preme court decided who held the pr ior liens, for it put the holders of these judgments in a position to dispose of the property. Some waeks ago Mr. Swansen, a Port land speculator, entered into negotia tions for the purchase of the lots from the holders of these first liens, Philip Phile and the Gerhard heirs. It is also under stood that Mr. Swansen has an option on the first liea on the building held by F. E. Beach. After due consideration Mr. Swansen secured an optioa on the lots and deposited $110 to bind the bargain, which is to be settled the 20th of this month or this amount will be forfeited. Should this deal be consummated, it wll, be necessary to sell the property at sheriff's sale, and the notice of five weeks ticultural hall, work on the con struction of which will commence as son as the weather will ter mit.
