In a recent letter to his family,

Mr. Barnhart, is a thriving town of
about 16,000 inhabitants, and he
can secure employment at bis trade
in that city if he wishes to do so.
During the past week or ten
days the officers in the clerk's office
have been quite busy on the exten
tion of the tax of citiep, road dis
tricts, school districts, county and
state. There are twenty-seven dif
ferent columns of figures to be foot
ed up and charged to the sheriff.
Heretofore there were only som six
or seven different items. This
work, is about completed.
They are milking twelve cows at
present at the college farm. A short
time ago they began feeding the an
i mals on some corn silnge that was
put up last fall. Altogether there
were five small silos filled with
corn for experimental purposes. Of
the6e, three have been fed out and
they are now feeding from the
fourth one. The first fed was plain
silage, the second lot was steamed,
aud that which they are now feed
ing was salted. Since being put on
the coin silage the amount of milk
given by the cows has been in
creased. A record is being kept
with a view to determining, it pos
sible, which flyle of silage proved
the most profitable to feed milk
cows.
Some days ago we printed an
item stating that a ewe of Joseph
Yates had given birth to four Iambs.
Many old-timers thought this had
not been equaled in this county.
In conversation with a prominent
stockman a few days ago, 4,he latter
stated that a number of years ago a
ewe of William Newman, south of
town some ten or twelve miles, gave
birth to four iambs. Two of these
were raised by hand. At the same
time two other ewes gave birth to
three lambs each. From these one
lamb each was taken and raised by
hand. Thus, it will be seen that
three ewes gave birth to ten lambs
and every one of them was raised.
If anybody cau beat this, we should
like to hear from them.

Smallpox in Mild Form.
After an absence of several years,
Billy Williams arrived in Corvallis
last week on a visit with his moth
er. He spent Friday renewing old
acquaintances. His face was cov
ered with a rash, which aroused the
suspicion that he was suffering with
smallpox, and Chief of Police Al
exander requested Dr. Farra to C3ll
upon Williams at his mother's
home, and diagnose his case. As a
result of his visit, Dr. h arra ap
peared before the council Monday
evening and acquainted the city
fathers with th$ facts in the case,
and stated that Williams had
smallpox in a mild form.
Chief Alexander was ordered to
quarantine the premises where Wil

health was instructed to secure a

a spread of the disease.

Weary somewhat with visiting

sat reading and resting in the

suddenly a young friend called in
stating that some one wished to
see him at the church. Think
ing that perhaps some young
heaits might be waiting anxious

bonds of matrimony, he hastened
there. But lo! what a surprise
awaited him. The church was
