He figures that it will take between two and three weess to complete nis con tract in Eugene. In the meantime he has workmen engaged on the E. Holgate residence in this city. Both in this city and Eugene Mr. Heckart employs the most compe tent men obtainable as his foreman and he goes back and forth from one job to another and personally lays out the work and sees that nothing is slighted. Moreover he is personally responsible for all work taken by himself and with him it is a case of "good work or no pay." J. C. Hudson, of Jaspar, Ark., has written for a sample copy of the Gazette. .

Mr. Schuette has been em ployed by Mr. Heckart on carpen ter work m Corvallis for the past month, and he has proved himself a first-class mechanic. A cut of the Signal Corps, O. N. G., of this city, taken at Al bany during the recent encamp ment, appeared in Monday's Telegram. This is the youngest organization in the Organ mili tia, and it is considered as effi cient as any branch or body in the state's military service. Dr. Cathey, assisted by Dr. Per- not, performed an operation for the removal of an abscess from the right side of Frank Plunkett, of Kings valley, Wednesday morning. The operation took place at the home of Mrs. King, below the saw mill, and from present indications it bids fair to have been a success ful one.

Tammany Abroad. Wednesday, the local "Tam many uniet" received a card from "Belknap on the McKen- zie." jno date was given, out it was a brief summary of the af fairs of the party consisting of Dr. Lester, Robt. Johnson, Sher iff Burnett and Thos. Whitehorn. It reads as follows: "Four ot y6ur number wish to report that we are still on the upper side of the grass and en joying lile. .fishing lair, out hunting poor. Lester has made a reputation on biscuits and bread pudding. Whitehorn builds fires and fries fish, but his whis kers are getting so long that he is almost afraid to light his pipe. Telt is the boss fisherman, but has no luck hunting and we are getting a "hankering" for beet steak. The jug is still halt full and we will stay about another week. Bob." Found Some Timber. George W." Smith and. Nei Newhouse arrived home I last Tuesday from a trip of about a week's duration during which they were looking after timber land for Corvallis parties. They went from here to Eugene, thence to Cottage Grove. At this point they met Dr. Ben Job, who is now the mayor of Cottage Grove. He gave his old friends a hearty welcome and treated tnem royal lv during their visit. At this place Messrs. Smith and New house separated, the former tak-. ing the train for Roseburg and the latter cutting across, the coun- ry with a guide to the north fork of the Urapqua river., On this tr'p Mr. .Newhouse saw some pretty good fir timber. One piece that he measured and estimated he thinks will go in the neighborhood of 200,000 feet of lumber per acre. This is good; but of course it is not expected that it will all average so well. The trouble is that no considera ble body of timber land claims can be located togetner, unless one gots away back where it will be from three to five years before it comes into the market, Even then a body of good timber is scarce. On reaching Roseburg Mr. Smith departed for a trip through the timbered section of the Ca mas vallev. He lound some good timber land that i was va cant, but claims that are vacant are so scattered that it becomes a hard proposition to attempt to do anything in the matter." The two Corvalhsites met in Roseburg last Monday to com pare notes. In this place they earned of a good body of sugar pine which may be investigated ater. Everything considered, good timber claims, "within a reasonable distance from mills or market, are pretty scarce, but a person so fortunate as to secure a ood one may be certain of own ing valuable property. In Roseburg Messrs. Smith and Newhouse put up. at the Mc- Clellen House. C. Schmidt, who formerly ran the Occidental hotel in this city, is proprietor of this establishment in Roseburg. Mr. Schmidt and his family did their utmost to make their friends eel at home and in this they were successful. Mr. Schmidt is doing a splendid hotel business and beyond doubt has the finest hotel between Portland a id Sac ramento. Everything -in ..the building is new and first-class. A Bad Egg. A groceryman quite j often has laughable experience in his dealings with various patrons. erhaps the greatest bone of con tention is the condition of eggs which are brought to market. A lew days ago a' gentleman brought some eggs to a well- known establishment in this city and in counting his eggs the clerk discovered an egg that had gone wrong and drew the owners attention to it. The latter de clared that the egg was prime from every standpoint. Here was an honest difference-without doubt. The clerk and the gentleman who brought the eggs to town each held to the point. Finally, in order to convince the clerk that the egg was all right, the countrvman said that it the egg proved rotten he would eat it. The egg was cracked and gave forth such an odor of sul phur springs that the gentleman lost his appetite for eggs and de clared that the one in question was undoubtedly rotten. This, however was a case where the man was honestly mistaken. Some months ago a gentleman brought some "hen fruit" to the same establishment. A boy was employed to "candle" the eggs and he discovered a bad one and called attention to it. The man who had brought the eggs to town pooh-poohed the idea of its being rotten and broke it and sucked it in order to show that it was O. K. When the last of it was down, he looked at the boy, expecting the latter to admit bis mistake in the proposition, l he boy looked at him, ' smiled and said, "You haven't proved to me yet that it wasn't rotten." And we believe it was. A Big Excursion. The recent warm weather seems to be doing business with residents of the valley and there is to be a big excursion run through this citv to the coast next Sunday. The Albany Her aid gives the following details: The C. & E. is taxed to its limit for daily service to Yaqui na. but on Sunday, next will be the gala excursion of the year, The S. P. Co. are going to run trains from. Eugene and Sa lem to Albany - and- they expect to run five or six coach loads from McMinnville, Independence Dallas, ' Monmouth, ,and other west side points, all to connect with the C &. E. at Albany and Corvallis. Onlv that the S. P. have consented to lease their! coaches for one day, the C. & E could not possibly carry the peo ple. As it is all will be accommo dated and everyone will ' have seat. $1. qo from Albany, Cor vallis and Philomath to Newport and return makes it possible for all to breath for a few hours at least the health giving breeze of the Pacific and Nature's true tonic thus absorbed by even one day excursionists, will bring the glow of health to many a pallid and wan face and in seven hours they can accumulate enough storage battery recuperation to ast them for weeks. "v... Sold to Mr. Pratt. W. A. Sanders has disposed of his jewelry business in this city to E. W. Pratt, recently ot Mound City. Mo. The sale was consummated Tuesday. Mr. San ders will leave shortly with his "amily for Portland, where he will engage in some occupation other than watchmaking. -T His eyes are suffering from overwork in this business and to give them rest was Mr. Sanders greatest reason for disposing of his busi ness here.
