Mr. Neikirk, who arrived in
Benton county about a month ago
from Colorado, and purchased a
farm near Philomath, was the re
cipient of a letter from his old
borne, last Saturday, that will have
a tendancy to squelch any desire he
might entertain to go back to hia
old home. Among other things,
the writer stated they had recently
experienced a rainstorm back there
during which an inch of water fell
in five minutes. This beats Ore
heat record. The writer fur-
. ther stated that in an orchard cf
10,000 peach trees there wouM be
about one bushel of peaches. From
the above it will appear that Ore
g'Wiians had better make the most
of their troubles at home and be
contented.
An observant peison will readily
see what an important ficUr the
creamery has become in the indus
trial system of Benton county.
Early each morning wagons laden
with milk commence to arrive at
the creamery and there is a con
stant stream of wagons coming in
until late in the forenoon. This
means thousands of dollars to our
citizens. It is an assistance to
evervbodv. All dairyman should
make it a noint to patronize the
croamprv. and not lose sieht of the
fact that the running expenses of
the creamerv are practically the
game whether the quantity of milk
received be laige or small. Conse

tracted auite a crowd to the flat

afternoon. The teams were very
evenly matched and with the ex
ception of two innings, .when
they took turn about going up
in the air, played very good ball.
The final score was 12 to 14-in
favor of Corvallis. If the home
team would practice, there is
material here for a first-class
nine.
This is ai inventive age and me
chanical labor saving devices are
to be seen on every hand. The
latest thing of its kind is a book
type writer that is now on trial at
the clerks' office. It arrived last
Thursday and it is especially de
signed for the purpose of entering
matters of record in large books.
This one does its work splendidly
and is a spice-saver as far as the
book of record is concerned and a
time-saver when it comes to enter
ing various matters that require
the time of a man. The machine
in question is made by the Fisher
Book Type Writer Co., and was se
cured in Portland. It is not yet
known whether it will be retained
or not.
About a month ago Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Moore, of this city, went back
to their old home in Illinois intend
ing to remain on a visit until about
September 1st. Since coming to
Oregon, two or three years ago,
Mrs. Moore has been very much
dissatisfied and has longed for her
old home in the East. A letter re
cently received from her indicates
that she will be more contented
with life in Oregon in the future.
Rim wrifpa that-since their arrival
at the old home they have experi
enced nothing but a series 01 storms.
On the night of their arrival there
wa3 a severe electric storm and a
holt of lie-htnins struck the corner
of the house they were staying in.
The heat, too, has been almost un
bearable at times. Everything
Mrs. Moore wrote indicates her dis
satisfaction with eastern climatic
conditions.

Splendid Prospects.;
The furniture factory of Messrs.
Colbert and Gregory is kept
busy these days getting out build
ing material for Henry Snook,
contractor on the new Agricul
tural Hall at the O A C. As
soon as they "complete their large
order for building material they
will begin on another or ler for
Mr. Snook. The last-mentioned
order will consist of mouldings.
ornamental pieces, etc., for finish
ing up the hall.
Just at present the proprietors
of the furniture factory are able
to secure an abundance of lumber
suitable for their use. It is still
a question with them whether
they will be able to lay in a sup
ply in excess of their every day
needs to enable them to run
steadily throughout the coming
winter. If they can secure suffi
cient lumber for their needs dur
ing the coming winter" they will
be able to guard against any
shortage in future seasons,
.1 - a ii : : J J

they are enabled to secure the
necessary material during the
summer seasons to manuiaeture
furniture throughout the winters.
This seems to be an excellent
idea and it is hoped that every
thing will be shaped to their lik
ing. At present there are five
men kept at work steadily.
The proprietors are welt satis
fied with their business venture
in tjorvaiiis ana arc saaguiuc
over the prospects of a. profitable
future. They are of the opinion
that Oregon is just on the eve of
a healthy and substantial indus
trial growth that will continue
for several years. One' does not
have to be very optimistic to aver
that everything certainly looks
that way.
Julius Again.
Julius Caesar, an old colored
slave who was brought "to Cor
vallis years ago by B. T. Taylor,
gets credit or blame, as the case
may be, for many things that
transpire for good or evil. Juli-
. , , - r
US was in Voivauis ior many
years and is well known here.
He has furnished many items ot
interest for - discussion during
the time of his residence here
and since his removal to a larger
place he has had a greater field
to work in.
He is now in Portland and al
ways cuts a figure in anairs ot
rnportance political or other-
wise. ie is now ueia responsi
ble for the bad luck of the Port-
and baseball team, and Friday's
Telegram gives Julius a little no
tice under the caption, "Was

as follows:
Julius Caesar, the colored mas
