clare that if the weather continues
favorable picking will begin about
two weeks earlier than usual this
year. It is possible that picking
may begin in the latter part of this
month, a thing that has occurred
but once in the laBt eleven years.
It seems to be .generally agreed in

box is to be 40 cents. Conspicu
ously displayed in this city is a
sign which reads. "100 hop pick
ers wanted."

A colored gen'leman was here at
the same time and was running a
nrott.v nnnosition to Mr. Irvine.
However, we have confidence enough
in him to believeithat D. B. will hold
his own in any venture in wnicn
he may become involved. One old
gentleman was made happy by one
of these corn extractors. The old
gentlemau in question has been al
most bedfast with corns and when
they were removed he began pranc
ing about like a youngster and
wherever he went he exhibited a
small paper lack full of corns.

eral opinion that the grain crop is
as good as -many think it is. ' He

bushels of wheat per acre and he
believes it is a fair sample from his
section of the country.

"Ralnh Watkins. who farms the
Jesse Walker place, was. in town
last week and purchased a new
wagon and a set of harness. It is
said that no grain farmer in the
state accomplishes more than he
does when it comes to putting in
grain. For the past tnree or iour
vfiors he has been farminer 300
acres and he does all of the work
himself. He puts in from 150 to
200 of fall and snrinz grain and
eenerallv has about 300 acres of
summer fallow.
Tan recent warm weather has
played "hob" with dairy cows and
this in turn has arlected tne cor
vallis Creamerv. The supply of
milk and cream received at the
creamery has greatly decreased.
However, a rattling good business
is still carried on at this establish
ment. Mr. Kaumsch savs that as
soon as cooler weather comes and
we get a little rain the supply of
milk and cream will increase and
he expects to do a splendid business
throughout the winter.
Speaking of the plana of the
Eastern capitalists who intend run
ning a railroad from Dallas to Falls
City, and possibly on over to the
Siletz, the Dallas Observer says:
The members of the party were all
emphatic in the declaration that
they were thoroughly in earnest in
the matter, and said that the work
of construction would begin at once
in order to have the road m opera
tion before the wet weather sets in.
Further than this they gave out no
information as to their plans for
the immediate future. The party
left for Portland on the early train
Saturday morning.
The State Agricultural Experi
ment Station has issued a bulletin
on steaming silage that shows that
the success ot tne early experiment
are fullv sustained bv the later in
vestigations. The value of silage
as a food for all ku.ds of stock seems
tn be crreatlv increase! by steam
ing. Experiments are being con
tinued this year on a more elabo
rate scale and the station expects
tn iTive in a future bulletin the le-
8ult8 from feeding steamed and raw
enRiiacre to milk cows and other
stock. It would seem from results
so far obtained that this is likely to
be one of the most important in
vestigations the station has yet un
dertaken. Junction City Times.

ton, passed through Portland,
Thursday, en route to Eugene,
where Mrs. Bryson's brother, Chat.
Griffin, is dangerously ill. Mrs

tack of rheumatic inflammation,

The Scott-Buchanan Bareinger
crew threshed 100 acres of wheat
for Tyra Smith last week, and that
gentleman is loud in hiH praise of
the manner in which the job was
done. Mr. Smith has had 25 years
experience; in threshing grain and
he knows something about tnat
kind of work, but he says he never
did as good a job of threshing for
himself as these boys did tor mm
last week. Their machine is a "Cy-
lone," with all the latest improve
ments. The 100 acres yielded
something over .2,0C0 bushels, ai d
about a day was consumed in
threshing it.
The party of Corvallisites who
left about ten days ago under the
guidance of J. Wrage and H. S.
Clodfelter for Klamath Co., Oregon,
in search of timber land claims ar
rived home last Friday. There was
eight in the party and they all,
with one exception, filed on claims.
The timber belt that they visited
lays about 100 miles east of Ash
land and the party secured a pri
vate conveyance at the latter piae
and drovd to the timbered region.
It is in the Lakeview district and
the party were obliged to proceed
to Klamath J) alls to make tneir til
ings. Messrs. Wrnge and Clodfelter j
are arranging to start back shortly
with another party of Corvallisites
who desire to secure timber claims.
Thursday, T. T. Barnhart arriyed
home from Bremerton, Wash.,
where he has been for the past two
or three months. While up there
he held a good position in the gov
ernment navy yard at that place
and could have held his situation
as long as he chose, but while he
would always have been retained
he was liable at any time to be laid
off for awhile on account ot scarcity
of work and he decided to take no
chances. Again, while he received j
eood waees, the cost of living was
so high that he could not lay aside
much, and his family being here, he
decided to . quit the premises and
come home. He thought at one
time that he would move his fami
ly to Bremerton, but the knowledge
that a lay-off might show up at any
time deterred him from this step.
While in Eugene last week,
R. M. Cramer informed the
Guard that his company contem
plates opening a branch house in
Eugene for the distribution ot
their buggies, carriages, wagons
and organs, a' large number of
which they have sold in Lane
county since they began opera
tions about a year ago. He said
that the company will probably
erect a building of their own there
as a large building is necessary
for their use and such a one, can
not be rented. In speaking of
his company's plant, Mr. Cramer
said that at present they employ
about twenty men but that next
year they intend to double the
capacity of the factory and em
ploy over 50 men.

The Ministers Hiked:-
Numerous former Oregonians
were in the shake-up .caused by
earthquakes in Southern Cali
fornia recently. Jn - a letter to
the Gazette, U. E. ' .Yogle says
the San Francisco and Los An-P-eles
pacers greatly exaggerated
the damage done at Lompoc End
neighboring towns. -r. - '-
The Hotel Arthur, Wned by
Harry Rudolph, formerly of Mar-j
ion conntv. was slignuy- dam
aged, the west wall being thrown
about six inches out 01 piumo.
R. J. Lamor, late of Grants Pass,
who is engaged, in the grocery
business at Lompoc ; sustained
some loss. Other Oregonians at
Lompoc are Mr.- Vogle, the
Cummlngs, Grahams, Webbs
and Harrises.
1 'Today is Sunday,'! writes
Mr. Vocrle. and from - the
churches I hear them singing,
'How Firm a Foundation.' it
is amusing to know that all the
ministers left town during the
shake-up. But one - remained,
and that was Rev. father Mata
ews. I saw one minister going
north on a bike, and I couldn't
see his coat tail for dust. An
other never stopped until he got
to Missouri.
"The ouake is all over, now,
and many who went away have
returned. Los Alomos, 18 miles
east of here was destroyed. Tops
of mountains toppled -over, and
clouds of dust could be teen for
miles."
Stepped on a Nail.
T.'A. Archibald, of Philomath,
who is a traveling salesman for
the Blaesing Granite Company
of Portland, came to Corvallis
late Friday eveuing from Philo
math. He was after some drugs
for the relief of his six-year-old
son, who recently stepped on a
rusty nail.
Some few weeks ago the little
boy had a very bad 'stone
bruise" on his foot and. suttered
a great deal. His mother, hop
ing to give the little sufferer re
lief, undertook to open the
bruised place with a 'needle.
The needle caused the boy to
twitch during the operation and
in some manner Mrs. Archibald
stuck the needle into her thumb.
She had a very serious time as a
result. "The thumb was so swol
len and inflamed at one time that
it was quite a serious proposition.
Tust as mother' And 'son were
recovering from their joint suf
ferings the little fellow stepped
on a rusty up-turned nail. At
one time his condition was most
serious, indeed, ana . it iook a
great deal of care and. skill to
ward off blood poisoning. How
ever, the little fellow is much
better at present and no serious
results are expected now.
Was Highly Satisfactory.
The new bridge across Marys
river at this citv is completed
and has been accepted by the
county court The rnemDersot
the court visited the bridge dur
ing the time of their last session,
and after a cartul -inspection,
congratulated Contractor W. H.
Miilhollen upon the excellent
manner in which the work had
hpen done, and the fact that the
bridge had been completed in so
short a time, v Mr. Miilhollen
employed a crew, of from three to
five men, and completed tne
bridge in g days less time than
was reauired to build , the one
which it reDlaced. Travel was-
stopped a little over - three hours
while the change was being
made from the temporary to the
permanent structure.
The brido-e is a feet in

Its cost was about 1,350.

An Efficient Supervisor.
,: '
Kings Valley, Aug, 9, 1902.
Editor Gazette:
I have observed that the news
papers have been making special
mention of the road woric being
done in various road districts of
this countv. and eivin compli-
j f
mentary notice of the efforts of
the supervisors in these districts.
This is oroDer and right It en
courages those who have tried to
do their duty, and stimulates
others to make as good a show
ing. "
While on this subject, I wish
to say a few words in regard, to
the splendid results i attained in
this district by . Supervisor J. S.
Miller. "Uncle Johnny" has 25
miles 01 road to place - in condi
tion for travel,' and I feel safe 4n
saying that no supervisor in this
county has accomplished better
results for the amount of money
expended, than has "Uncle
Johnny" Miller. . ,

Where's the Buckskin?
In its recent issue the Home
stead, under the caption of
"Strayed or Stolen,4 states that
its stable is minus a buckskin
mare. It leaves an impression
that rnaybe we'te got it among as
somewhere. Here is what " it
says:
The Homestead is out a-buck-skin
mare, and saddle. It was
last in the 1 posession of a man
calling himself N. H. Parker
about 5 feet 11 inches, dark
complexion, smooth ' shaven,
large nose. Talks with English
accent. Is a Canadian.
The niare is probably in Linp,
Lane, or Benton county, Oregon.
If you have heard of her, please
notify this office, by telephone,
telegraph or letter.
Following is about the descrip
tion: Buckskiu Jinare, weight
about 950; dark mane and tail,
roached foretop; dark stripe
along back; cut on one ear; plate
shoes all around. The saddle is
old, but has a new cinch. Also
leather saddle bags, new.
The Biggest Ever.
The excursion to Newport
Sunday was probably the largest
ever run to that resort, being
larger even than the big Macca
bee excursion of a couple of years
ago. One thousand persons took
advantage of the liberal rates of
fered and Suudayed oh the beach.
The first section of eight cars
passed, through Corvallis about
745 a. m., and it was followed
two hours later by 'a train of
nine coaches. It was 2 p. m.
before the last barge load reached
Newport.
On the return trip the first
section reached Corvallis at 10 p.
m. and it was midnight before
the last train reached this city.
Eighty-four, tickets were sold
here, 92 came on the S. P. from
McMinnyille and points south,
and the remainder came from
Albany, Salem, Eugene and way
stations. !
It is probable that other like
excursions will, be run this sea
son, as this initial venture was
so successful. -
