It is thought that he will accompa

secure timber in that section. If
the timber of Lake county suits
Mr. Taingit is likely that he will
make a flattering offer to those who
have already secured claims in that

It seems to be a question in the
minds of some people whether there
ia money in chickens or not. A
d.iy or so ago A. C. White and J.
M. Cameion were discussing this
proposition and the former stated
that hie hens were not a Bouroe of
profit by any means. Mr. White
stated that he had fed his layers
$12.50 worth of wheat and yet they
did not lay. Mr. Cameron had
taken the other side in the matter
under discussion and this startling
announcement of Mr. White's call
ed for something extraordinary to
offset it. Iu sheer dssperation Mr,
Cameron stated that he possessed
twenty hens and one rooster. One
of the hens is hovering over a brood
of young ones, so 6he was not ex
peeled to lay. This left nineteen
able-bodied hens to do the laying,
and he declared that the day before
he had gathered twenty-four eggs.
For the benefit of curious ones, we
ar permitted to state that Mr.
Camerou keeps black minorcas.

pine and is said to be remarkably
fine. Many of the trees are 15 or
16 feet in circumference and 80 or
90 feet to the first limb. H. S.

Dtfttb. faiui Claimed Him.
tit F. Fischer died at bis home near
this city Wednesday night, after a linger
ing illness with catarrh of the Stomach.
Every effort was made to. prolong his
life, tut to no avail. Mr. Fischer re
turned bnt a tew days ago from Tallman
springs where he had spent the summer,
sad it was known then that tin end was
not far off.
The funeral oscnrred yesterday after
noon at 2 o'clock, from the family resi
dence, the services being conducted by
Rev. Carrick in the presence of a great
number of frieads of the -deceased. The
mortal remains were laid to rest in Crys
tal Lake cemetery. All business houses
of this city were closed during the servi
ces as a mark of respect to the deceased.
Henry Fred Fischer was born in Ger
many, March 25th, 1838. Coming to
America while quite a child he grew to
manhood in Illinois.
About 23 years ago he moved to Oregon
with his family.' ' On his arrival in Cor
vallis be purchased an interest in the
Corvallis Floating Mills, then owned by
Gray & Korthauer. Later he purchased
the interest of Mr. Korthauer and at the
time of his death was sole proprietor of
that valuable property.
Besides being a master of the miller's
trade, Mr. Fischer was a mechanical ge
nius. He was constantly studying and
developing new processes and methods
in his business, with the result that the
product of bis mills has become famons
and has taken many high awards and
medals at the great expositions. The
mill, which wa3 quite unpretentious
when he first became interested in it, has
been increased in capacity until its out
put is now 200 barrels per day.
These things stand as evidence of Mr.
Fischer's untiring energy and excellent
business ability. He was no small fac
tor in the upbuilding of the material in
terests of this county. He had no time
for social affairs, but he possessed the
esteem and warmest regard of all with
whom he came in contact. Honest, sin
cere, kind and generous, the community
has lost in him a valued citizen.
Of the family, the following members
survive him:- The widow, August, Er
nest, Fred and Martha Fucher, of Cor
vallis; Louis Fischer, of Silverton, and
Mrs. Richard Kiger, of Corvallis.
Mrs. Christens Barker.
The death of Mrs. Christena
Barker occurred, in this city last
Monday evening at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Emory Allen.
She had been ill about sixj
months prior to her death, but
her illness was the result of. old i
age more than anything else, j
The funeral services took place
at the Allen residence Wednes-1
day morning at ten o'clock and
remains were interred in the;
Henkle cemetery. The services j
were conducted by Rev. A. Car
rick.
The deceased was past 86
years of age at the time of her
death. She was a pioneer of
18, having crossed the plains
with an ox team to Oregon in
that year in company with her
husband, and her brother, lcha
bod Henkle. The latter survives
her and has reached the age of
93 years. The Barkers settled
on a farm near Philomath. Af
ter a residence of nearly 30 years
they moved to Washington,
where Mr. Barker died after a
residence ol a few years. After
his death, Mrs, Barker returned
to this county and made her
home with Mr. and Mrs. E. Al
len, of this city, until her death.
While en route across the
plains her eyes became affected
by alkali dust and a 'few years
later she lost her sight. She
was blind during the greater
part of her life. Through all
her life, despite -. the many af
flictions that beset her, she re
mained a kind-hearted gentle
woman and won the . esteem and
affections of all. The surviving
children are, Mrs. E. Allen, of
Corvallis, Mrs. -Bessie Witte, of
Waitsburg, Wash., and William
Barker, of Salem.
Be not Hypocrites.
"Remember the Sabbath day
and keep it holy." This is
what , the churchmen teach us,
and for more reasons than one it
is a good rule to adhere to. But
he who teaches it should be the
last to break the rule. Not that
it is any more sinlul for him to
break the Sabbath than for any
one else, but it is more noticable.
Again, if a churchman break
this holy day, the effect of said
act upon those around him is
more a matter ot regret tnan 11
he who is outside the pale of the
church committed the same of
fense, if offense it is, for the sim
ple reason that all eyes are upon
the gentleman, and his regard or
disregard for the sacredness of
the day is greater in its effect
than the actions of one who
makes no profession of religion,
even though he be religious.
In a certain residence block
near the central part of this city
we find nearly every resident a
member of some church. Last
Sabbath, a chance passer-by
noted that all residents of this
block x were ia "an -industrious
mood. - The work of improving
their homes was being prosecuted
with great diligence; the saw
and hammer each gave7 forth its
song, and weeds were being pull
ed and various particle of debris
were being taken from the prem-
ises. . All ot . tois -.is-; very , wu,
and the idea of beautifying and
improving; a home is highly com
mendable, but according to the
the professed ideas of the church
men, it is wrong to "do this work
on the Sabbath. The woi st
part of it all is, that some of
these oeoDlei erood of intent
though they be, had they chanc
ed to find someone else working
on the Sabbath when they, them
selves, were having a day f rest
and sacred commune. - would
have strictly condemned that
party.. We are too prone to lay
down a rule or a law to govern
some other party, no matter if he
bem the church or out ot it,
but, by a little judicious figuring
we may be able to escape the
charge of hypoency.
O A. C. Athletes.
There is much enthusiasm out
at the college over athletics this
year. The boys are air taking
hold with a will and . everything
is moving apace. Coach Her
bold has taken charge of all
available football timber and has
the" boys oat doing preliminary
work every evening. He is able
to get from twenty to thirty
young mien to kick the pigskin
on these occasions. At present
they are working easilyand are
not attempting' anything that
will make them sore and stiffen
them up.
Those who are managing foot
ball at the OAC this year in
tend, to issue season tickets, good
for all games played on the col
lego grounds. These tickets will
be placed on sale down town. It
is the . intention of the managers
to start a lot of small boys out to
sell these tickets. They will al
low the boys 5 per cent of all
sales they make and give them
everv tenth ticket. At the end
of the season the boy who has
made the greatest sale of tickets
will be given a "cash prize ot $5.
A number of important games
are already scheduled for the
season, which will open about
November nth. It is thought
that at various times during the
fall they will meet some of strong
est teams of the -Pacific -Northwest.
They have already enter
ed into arrangements for a game
with Eugene. N ;
The boys are doing everything
in their power to assist in getting
the grounds in eood shape. It is
thought that tomorrow a large
number of students will donate
work and give things on the
grounds quite a boost. W. O.
Heckart is rushing work on the
grandstand.
