Will Fechter arrived in Corval
lis, Tuesday morning, from Pen
dleton. He brought his young son
down with him and left the little
fellow with his grandfather, A. M.
Witbam. The boy has not been
very well of late and Mr. Fechter
brought him down here in hopes
that the change would prove bene

A young man, who has only been
married a month or two, was told
by his wife the other morning that
if he would get her some butter
milk she would make him some
hot cakes like his mother used to
perve. He thought it would look a
little too much like a family man
to be seen carrying a jug of butter
milk on the streets in broad day,
so he procured a glass fruit jar and
placed it in a paper sack and pro
ceeded to the Kaupisch creamery,
where he was provided with the
"mother" of hot cakes. He then
started lor home, this young mar
ried man. It wa3 a rainy day and
when Frank had reached a conspic
uous spot combined dampness and
the weight of the jar caused the
bottom to drop out of the sack and
the ja." was broken to 'smithereens"
on the pavement. Frank did not
tarry to gather up the milk or the
pieces.

Charged With Sheep Stealing.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney E.
R. Bryson was called to Alsea
Tuesday to hear a case before Jus
tice Abe Clark. A warrant had
been sworn out for the arrest of J.
R. Allen by A. J. Brown, charging
the former with the crime of steal
ing fheep.
Attorney. Bryson arrived at court
in the Alsea Valley about 7 o'clock
Tuesday evening, after a most fa
tiguing rid. over the mountain, and
found his honor and the various
witnesses awaiting his coming.
" The Corvallis Furniture Fac
tory is at "present inoperative,
owing to the fact that the pro
prietors are unable to secure
wood for the manufacture of
furniture and for fuel to furnish
power. Orders have been placed
for both and it is hoped that ere
long affairs will so shape them
selves that the whirr of rnachi
nery will aeain be heard at this
establishment. "The proprietors
are R. C. Colbert and. W. U
Gregory. They grot in here too
late last season to place contracts
for all -the - material they wil
need at present, but they have a
bright outlook and. .re confident
that in time thev will be enabled
to secure materials for their use
so that" they may operate their
plant steadily.
A visit to the factory disclosed
the fact that they have all of the
latest and best machinery, in
cluding planer, sticker, joiner,
tenon, mortising . machine,
shaper, band saw, lathe, rip and
cut-off saws, sand-papering ma
came, etc. 1 nev nave a 6d-
horse power, Nagle boiler, which
drives a very neat engine. They
have a drv kiln and the exhaust
from the engine is piped through
the kiln and furnishes an im
mense amount of heat, in fact,
all that is necessary. When the
factory is operated at its full ca
pacity it will give employment
to ten or twelve men.
Their aim is to manufacture
furniture of oak and ash. "They
wm mate a specialty ot various
mds of mouldings and will ca
ter to the local" market for job
work in their line. They also
have in view the manufacture of
a unique refrigerator.
This new industry should re
ceive all encouragement at the
hands of our people. It is a
w spoke in our industrial
.wheel and adds to the importance
of our city and county. Fvery
new whistle that blows, wheel or
saw that turns, cives employ
ment for labor, creates a demand
or raw material and gives our
community a pay roll. There-
ore stand by all of them and on

on the noon train in a state of de

finally Chief Alexander, who was

Vv. 333-393 The speech of Nestor and
Agamemnon's reply:
Thus he spoke, and the Argives shout
ed exceedingly praising the speech of the
divine Odysseus so that the ships re
sounded terribly all around, by reason of
the shouting of the Achaeaus.
Then' also Nestor, the Gerenian
Knight, addressed them :
"O fie ! Ye now talk in a manner be

the counsels and the plans of men, both
the libations of wine unmixed with water
and the (extended) right hands (i. e.

Achaeans (Note: The reference is no

there will be no accomplishment of their
plans, to go to Argos even before they
know whether the promise of the Aegis-
