getting a "hankering" for beet
steak. The jug is still halt full

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.
His successor, Mr. Pratt, comes
highly recommended. The Mound
City News, of recent date, con
tains this item concerning him :
E. W. Pratt and family started
Monday for Corvallis, Oregon,
where they have determined to
locate. Mr. Pratt as a jeweler
and optician is skilled, and we
believe no better workman ever
came to our city. He is honest
and upright, a good law abiding
citizen, a credit to any commu
nity. His wife is a most estima
ble lady and their sons and
daughters an honor to their pa
rents. Mr. Pratt and familv
have many friends here who
wish for them success and happi
ness in their new home.
