From the letter it is almost certain that Her bold will coach for O A C next sea son, if the boys decide to accept his upr vices, and it is quite likely that they will. Thote having the choice ef a coaeh In hand seem quite fav orable to Herbold. Our informant was mistaken when he stated to us recently that Mrs. Reavis had taken her depar ture for Chehalis, Washington, atd that the old gentleman'would occu py his cottage alone in the future. The woman in question was a single lady and had a right to go when and where she pleased. Hex em ployer paid her off and she departed for Chehalis, where she has friends. Reavis was not her name. Isaac Meskimen, who was called to this city by the death of his father, David Meskimen, in this city last Saturday, started on the return journey with the remains to their old home in Stafford, Kansas, Wednesday. This is the close ef a very sad chapter in the history of the Meskimen family and every citizen in this section who is cog nizant of the facts in the case ex tends his fullest sympathy. Gibs Alphin, who has been p team boating on the river this winter arrived in Corvallis, Tues day morning, for a lay-off of a few days. He has not been feeling very well of late. Gibs is a great hand to gather things about him. He states that he only had a news paper when he took passage on the boat at Portland for Corvallis and (hat when he arrived here he had to get a dray to take his things home. Sheriff Burnett left here at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning for Salem, having . in charge Chas. Thomas, who will serve two years in the penitentiary for forging checks. They drove over to Albany and caught the 7 a. m. train for Salem. By 8:15 Mr. Thomas was lodged in the pen. Mr. Burnett thinks that Thomas is a man who has been well educated and hta good family connections, but has fallen a prey to a life of ease and dissipation which fiually landed him where he is. some I - W. A. Sanders, Jeweler," Dick Smith is home from a social visi to Portland. Next Sunday is Easter and the termination of Lent. Colored eggs will be in style. Perhaps the first party in town to make hay this year was the janitor at the court house, W. G. Lane. Titus Ranney and L. L. Matoon, both of Summit, were in Corvallis during the week attending business. -- Miss Mary Wilhelm, of Monroe, took the Wednesday morning boat for Portland, where she will visit for a couple of weeks with her brother George. The second or school at the O A C closes with this week, and as a consequence many of the students have been on pins and needles of late Rev. Mark , Noble is able to be on the streets again after a- severe at tack of rheumatism. He feared at one time that he was going to have a spell of rheumatic fever. T. W. Dilley entertained Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hagey last Monday evening with some excellent music over the telephone from Corvallis. -Lebanon Express-Advance, The Easter cantata, "Resurrec tion," by H. W. Porter, will be ren dered by the choir in the Presby terian church on faster morning. 1 his is a grand piece of sacred mu sic for that momentus occasion Sounds Like Fiction. Once in a great while human nature gets slightly out of its usual course. A rear or more tgo J. W. Simpson, of this city, drove a single horse and a road cart down to Bnena " Vista. While there he met a party who wanted to buy the horse, and he sold it on time. Time went on and he heard nothing from the purchasing party. Mr. Simpson also left the cart and harness in the care of the same party. A short time ago he beard that the party was making preparations to leave his section of tke eonntrv and said to him winter term of "that's the last of my horse, cart and harness." In this he was mistaken, for directly after ward he received a check for the price ot the horse. Following this surprise was the notification that the cart and harness had ar rived in Corvallis they had been shinned up by beat- Mr. Simpson was delighted with the way affairs were turn ing out, but was still further pleased to find that his harness had recently been washed and the cart greased. This is almost like a fairy story. Is Home Again. County Treasurer W. A. Buchau an has another call for warrants in this issue. The call is for all war rants outstanding up to and includ ing those of February 6th. 1902. The call will be found in another column. Easter service at the Methodist Episcopal church.

The citizens of Cottage Grove want Dr. B. -R. Job for mayor. Like Job of old the office mav be of little comfort to him but as a good citizen he will probably not shirk the responsibility if it is thrust upon him. Eugene Register Mrs. Martha Armstrong arrived in Corvallis, Tuesday, and will visit relatives and friends of this section for a few day . She has been up in Idaho for 4 the past year or two. Mr. Armstrong holds a good posi tion in the vicinity of Gem, Idaho. Sheriff Burnett exibited an old bill that had been made out to his father, at San Jose, California, Feb 6th, 1853. One of the items of the bill is a 50 lb sack of flour and the price was $10. Other items are proportionately high, Think of the diffeience in the price of flour now and hfty years ago. Wednesday was the birthday of Kratz Cronise. He was sixteen years old. A surprise party was given him in the evening and a number of his young friends were present. Games of various kinds were played and many other en tertaining features were engaged in to make the evening enjoyable. Wednesday's dispatches contained intelligence of the suicide al Ash land of I. R. Garrett, a native ot Benton county, Oregon, and 36 yearsof age. The deceased leaves a wife and three small children. It is believed here that the suicide was I. A. Garrett who presided south of this city and left here about a year ago with Jesse Porter. The body was discovered in Bear creek in a deep pool 1$ miles north of Ashland. Tied to the man's ntck with a towel was a 25-pound rock, indicating careful preparation for self destruction. The cause ot the rash act is supposed to have been despondency, the - result of sickness and lack of funds. About a year ago R. B. Tren- holm, . of tnis county, was acci dentally shot The charge took rr m . - - enecc in nis ngnt snouiaer and everything possible was done for him, and he was finally sent to the Go6d Samaritan hospital in Portland. Here it was found that the arteries were so lacerat ed that it was necessary for him to submit to an operation. His shoulder" blade was sawed throagh in two places ancLturned down forward, the arteries were rearranged so'v that they connect ed with his right arm, the collar bone put back in place and fas tened there wita silver wire. Mr. Trenholm returned to his home neaf this city, Monday, after a term ot three months in the hos pital. So far as is known he is the sixteenth man to successfully undergo this operation.

There was a pretty home wed ding at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. August Pagrenkopf, of Wells, at io o'clock Tuesday morning. Tne bride was Miss Ida Pagenkopf, well known in Benton and other Oregon coun ties as a highly successful school teacher; the groom, Mr. Forbes, operates a dairy farm at Moota- villa, four miles from Portland. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Pierce, of Albany, in the presence of members of the family, and the newly married pair left on the afternoon train for their home at Montavilla. Maay friends in this vicinity join m sincere good wishes for the futare of this estimable young couple. From Wells. Few captains of river steamboats would go out of their way to do an act of mercy for a dumb brute as Captain Allen, of the Pomona did last week on his am between this city and Portland. He noticed a ewe and a co'jple. of lambs that in some manner had fallen over a high bank and were unable to get back. The animals were held prisoners at the water's edge. The captain changed the course of the boat and went to their assistance. Deck hands were sent ashore and after much trouble, and some delay, the animals were placed in pastures green. Should ill-luck befall Capt. Allen he can get a recommenda tion for a position on a stock farm from any passenger who was on the boat at the. time of this incident. Milton Morgan, of the Gazette force, who returned during the first of the week from a visit in Port land and other points, reports hav ing seen the miniature steamer that was recently built 'by the in genius Chinese cook, Joe, of the steamer Leon a, on exhibition in the show window of Woodward & Clark, in Portland. A tank had been arranged for the boat in the window and cards set forth the facts, in English and Chinese, re garding its construction. It at tracts crowds of spectators of all nationalities and seems to be of particular interest to the Chinese. The Gazette was the first publica tion to draw attention to the genius of this cute Celestial and gave a very full account of the Chinaman and his work. Mrs. Ida Harris has been seriously ill with paeumonia for the past week. A.. J. Hall, this week, purchased a fine 3 -year-old Glyesdale colt from Ed Wiles. The price paid was $125. Eugene Dodele shipped a carload of hogs to Portlaad one day last week. It is understood that the price received was four cents, live weight. Mrs. Olevia Hall has been elected sup erintendent of the Wells Sunday school, vice Mr. Allen, removed. "Uncle" John Wiles returned, Mon day, from a few days' visit with Corvallis relatives. Mrs. Emma Hughey returned, Mon day, from a visit with frfends at Buena Vista. Robert Wilson made a business trip to Buena Vista, Tuesday. The new store at that place, recently opened by Mr. Daniels, of Monmouth, ia quite a conven ience to the farmers of this vicinity and will save many a trip to towns farther removed. Al Thurston is erecting a large new barn on his ranch . Joe Alberts, of Cor vallis, is the builder. The Artisans have just completed a new shed at their hall, to shelter teams. It is quite an improvement. Tootsib. After some slight hitches, the deed in a large real estate transaction .changed hands yesterday. Last January, so we are informed, B, S.I Bain contracted with Peterson and Robinson to sell the farm belonging to his brother, Rev. C. Bain, of Oakland, Calif, for $10,000, cash. The property is one and one-half miles west of Corvallis, contains 200 acres, and is known as the Old Bennett place. Peterson and Robinson were to receive a commission of 2 per cent Last Tuesday S. L. Kline purchased the place making a payment of $700 to bind the bargain. But Mr. Bain refused ta sign the deed, stating that he had de cided to ask $50 per. acre for bis place. Wednesday morning, Mr. Kline made Mr. Bain a tender of the $10,000 asked by Messrs. Peterson and Robinson in ac cordance with their contract with Mr.' Bain, which was refused. Thereupon Mr. Kline served notice jon Bain that lie would begin suit for damages, and Peter son and Robinson began action for their 2 per cent. After confering with his brother by wire, Mr. Bain decided to give the deed. It is unfortunate that these hitches should occur, as it creates a bad impress ion upon Eastern purchasers who are now flocking to this section. They want to know that when they have made a Ride a Rambler." " ' Mr?. J. N. McFadden ib recover ing from her recent illness.
