Wednesday, Robert and Miss Lillian Glass, of this city, disposed of their timber land claims in the Cascade mountains, sjmewhere in the Calapooia region. The party who purchased the property was a Michigan timberman and each claim was eold for something like $1,800. This gives original locaters a profit of more than $1,000 each. G. W. Smith, late of Kansas, has taken poeession of the place that he recently purchased of G. W. Fuller. This is improved property and some live stock was included in the deal. The consideration was $1, 325. Mr. Smith purchased five and a fraction acres adjoining of W. A. Wells and gave $80 per acre for it. Mr. Fuller purchased the Wyatt place, not far distant from his old home and paid $1,450 for it. He also has taken posession. Both places lie a mile or so northwest of Corvallis. Miss Blanche Riddle, who' grad uated from the O A C last com mencement, has been principal of the Yoncalla public schools with three assistants since that time. Miss Riddle is one of the girls that will succeed anywhere. She has energy and good judgment neither of which failed her in securing her education; and in less than one year she rose to the principalship of one of the best schools in Doug las county. This is the typical Oregon girl. And yet there are some who say that a girt has no chance in the world. The O A C girl is a succsss. The well which H. Hirschberg is drilling for oil near Monmouth is now down six hundred feet. There was a delay of four dtye, on ac count of the loss of some part of the drilling outfit. It was "fished out" however, and thedrilling proceeded. Some oil was struck at 350 feet and there has been indications of gas since. It is said that there are many evidences giving encourage ment that oil will be found in pay ing quantities. Mr. Hirschberg is the Independence banker, and he is entitled to much credit for under taking this important work at his own expense. If ve finds oil he will be entitled to all the credit therefor. As for the profits, they will be his, too. Salem Statesman. Aside from a broken damage resulted. tongue no Bought the Ferry. As indicated in the Gazette some weeks ago, the commissioners' court toolc advantage of its option on the ferry across the Willamette at this city and purchased that property from Mr. Blum hart, yesterday. April 24th of last year the court entered into an agreement with Mr. Blumhart to lease the ferry for one year beginning with May 1st, 1901. Mr. Blumhart agreed to operate the ferry for this period for 300. The county vas given aa option for the purchase of the ferry and all fits equipment and appli ances, and certain parcels of land adjoin ing the ferry landings in Linn and Ben ton counties, for the sum of $2,500.

" He .reached nome witn lour dozen eggs and all the chickens he could hold by the legs. The New Boat. Big Bid For Lumber. F. P. Sheasgreen returned yesterday from a trip to Newport, whither he went to inspect the cargo of lumber on the two-mast barge which went ashore on south beach about a month ago. When the vessel went ashore her masts and deck load of lumber went overboard, but there is still about 300,000 feet of good spruce lumber in her hold. Mr. Sheas green has placed a bid for 150, 000. feet of the lumber which is clear, with good prospects of se curing it. The wrecked vessel is in very good conditiou, and prospects are fait for getting her off the beach without damage. She is a fine new craft, this being her first trip. Her cargo was the first output of a new sawmill re cently built at Coos Bay. Her destination was San Francisco, and she was in tow of a tug. When near that eity, the hawser connecting her with the tug parted and the captain ot that steamer left her to her fate. His action resulted in his papers be ing taken from him. The barge drifted at the mercy of the waves, until she finally went ashore near the entrance to Yaquina bay. All on board landed safely. About a month ago we printed some information regarding the movement toward placing a new steamer on the Upper Willam ette. The Telegram of a few days ago gives the following in formation on this subject: ATA f . 4 xne macmnery ot tne river steamer Gypsy, which used to ply on the upper river and sank near Independence a year or two jo, is likely to provide material for a prospective boat to be con structed by the Willamette River Transportation-Company of Ore gon uity. lne new company has the plans and ipecifieations prepared and all that remains for them to do is to build the craft Previous to this time there have been two corporations and ten private individuals operating steamers on the Upper Willam ette. lne organization 01 an other company indicates that the upper river country is prosperous, and it may be that there will be business enough offered to keep all alive in the future. At the present time the O. R. & N. and O. C. T. Co. have been opera ting .their steamers under a mu tual agreement. Cannot Accept.
