A roan by the name of A. J. Par rot, of Portland, claims that he has invented a flying machine that will fly. It is just about what one would expect of a parrot. Parrots are not much for flying, however. Trout-fishing season is now at hand and many of our local sports men have already tried their luck. As far as is known no very large catches have been made. Speckled beauties seem to be fewer and fur-' ther between each year. It is pretty hard to determine just how the problem was figured, hut a German scientist has figured that at 10:40 on the morning of the 2oth of this month it will be just a billion minutes since the birth of Christ, and yet figures don't lie. J. K. Berry, of the Bicycle Hos pital, has just received another large consignment of Rambler bicy cle, of all grades. He reports the Rambler trrde unusually strong this year, and expects to sell many more 'wheels when the roads get better. M. A. Miller, of Lebanon, has been nominated for State Senator in Linn County. Of course he still believes in and will have nothing lees or else than free silver at 1 G to 1 in defiance of all the nations and laws and peoples and events of earth, heaven, or the other place. Telegram. Luke Thornton, who slipped and fell while wheeling wood pulp at the paper mills several weeks ago, Fustaining a fracture of a knee cap, has not materially improved.

Peterson pur chased the Charley Horning place consisting of 32 acres. This is quite a well improved piece of prop erty and lies west of Corvallis a mile or two. The consideration was in the neighborhood of $2,000. The Willamette Presbytery meets this evening in the Presbyterian church at Salem. Rev. Andrew Carrick, Elder W. P.

It is his intention to operate two shops in the future the one he 18 at present running will be kept in operation. It is Mr. Cameron's intention to make his new thop the largest, most attract ive and complete of any that has ever been operated in this section of the countrv. Agent Thayer, of the O R & N, says that everything indicates that boating can be carried on until a late period this season, as the water at present is about six feet above the low mark. In speaking of the light-draught boat that is at present under construction at Ore gon City, he staled that the craft will be able to reach Corvallis at any time during the summer, as 6he will not draw more than 15 or 16 inches of water with a cargo of 25 tons. This will be a good thing for our merchants, as it will afford eoniDetition. and this is always a pretty hfalthy feature in transpor tation. Our merchants, according to Mr. Thayer, i' thev are wise and have an eye to their future inter ests, will at least patronize the boats enough to encourage them to continue on the route, so that oppo sition mav be maintained.

Wilhelm and Lee Hill were made secretary ana assis tant secretary -by acclimation McFadden moved for appoint ment of committee of three on credentials. Other committees provided for were, order of busi ness, resolutions, and permanent organization. A motion to nominate the en tire county ticket at the after noon session, was carried. In the interim, while commit tees were being selected, McFad den moved about conferring with various delegates. McFadden moved that the va rious committees report at 1:30 m.

The convention was called to order at 1:4s p.m., and the re port of the committee on perma nent organization, recommend ing' that the temporary officers be made the permanent officers, and fcking that Mr. Hill, who was ill, be replaced by Mr. Howell, was adopted. The committee on credentials had just been accepted when J D Howell moved that the conven tion go into caucus for 15 min utes. McFadden suggested that all committees be heard first, but the motion prevailed. In dismissing the audience chairman Irvine said: "I must unwillingly request all not dele gates to retire. I dislike to do this, but we don't want to wash our dirty linen in public." The washing must have been a consiaeraDie one, ior me cau cus was not raised for nearly an hour. At its conclusion the committee on resolutions report ed and McFadden read the reso lutions. The chair announced that' nomination of officers was now in order. Tra Smith moved that, "as no person was desirous of the of-,: fice of senator, selection be leltto county central committee." The chair was willing to entertain' the motion, but stated that nomina tions tor the office were still in order. P Avety was nominated, but declined. McFadden nomi nated Peter Rickard, but that gentleman said he was not a can didate fof that or any other of fice. Finally Mr. Smith's motion prevailed.

For county clerk, a delegate nominated Victor Moses. Mc Fadden nominated Johnny Er win. He said Mr. Erwin had been a candidate two years ago for the office of recorder, but when he failed to secure the nomination he took defeat grace fully and put forth every energy to elect his successful opponent. In consideration of all this he should be given the nomiflation he now sought. Uut the con vention stood by its decision in caucus and nominated Mr. Meses of Corvallis. with a change of only .one vote, , For sheriff, M ' P Burnett, was nominated "by acclamation.

Irvine remmfled him that the opposition had no nomi nee for this office either, imply ing that the republicans were not expecting many casualties Some one placed B. F. Irvine in nomination. ; He sought to dodge the impending honor by stating that there was a motion before the house. His call for the "aye" vote met with no response, but the "noes" seconded like a clap of thunder. Robert John son moved that tne omce ot cor -a . . O V oner be presented to Mr. Irvine by acclamation, and it was so or dered. Mr. Irvine accepted in a neat speech. The following were elected delegates to the state convention: W. S. McFadden, B. F.

A man sometimes renders himself ridiculous by over offi ciousness and by' being over-zealous of his rights.r On the other hand, public servants are often to blame -for carelessness and negligence; .in the discharge -. of their duties. ' A: striking exam ple of both sides of the proposi tion was afforded by an incident which took place on a Willam ette river steam boat about a week ago. A gentleman on board the boat on retiring for the evening, could not -: find a life-preserver under his berth where he thought it should be and proceeded to. hunt the boat over ior tne same. . rie inaae considerable powwow about life preservers or the absence of them. He stated that- he had traveled the world over and had figured in a shipwreck or two and he de manded a life preserver. On going to one of the officials on the boat tne gentleman was informed that if the boat should sink there was no place in the river where she would go down entirely out of sight. Still this did not quiet the traveling man's fears. He made great demands for his rights and really the mat ter became interesting for fellow passengers. Finally, the officer dealing with the proposition be came vexed and went andbegaH throwing out life-preservers for further orders, - - The .officer is said not to have been very cour teous in the manner in which he "lammed" life-preservers about. Now, here is- the idea in a nutshell : It is believed that the law requires that life-preservers b kept in the staterooms and other places hairdy for passengers. If it is necessary to have them on board any steamer it would seem to be equally necessary to have them where they could be found without search. The above ac count was furnished us by a party who was an imoartial witness of what transpired on this occasion and the conclusion is that while the traveler was perhaos a trifle too officious and made himself a laughing stock, one of the offi cers was somewnai lacsing in courtesy and attention to his duty.
