quite active in the search for little

although he was not feeling well.
He spent a restless night, but went
to his office in the morning. About
10 o'clock he went down to the
river where parties were dragging
for the body. Suddenly ; he grew
dizzy and fell. After a great effort
he succeeded in reaching home, but
was so weak be could scarcelv stand.
The attack passed away and be was
much better yester Jay evening. .

Funeral of Gertrude Brown.
The vicinity of Dusty has been of
late frequently visited by death.
Last Tuesday morning another
visit occurred, this time to the home
of Jesse Brown. The one selected
was the amiable and attractive
Gertie. Tbe sickle the grim reaper
used was dread diphtheria. She
was ill only a fortnight,' but it was
long enough to overcome her youth
ful vigor.
Gertrude was the daughter of
Jesse and Effie Brown, and was
born September 26, 1886, in thy
same house where she died. Nine
years of her life was spent at the
Auxiliary district school where she
was greatly beloved by her t .cher
and playmates. She was one of
the Sunday school scholais at Oak
Ridge and often took part in the
Children's Day exercises.
During her illness she often spoke
of her friends but none visited her
owidg to the nature of her illiuss
which was belieyed to be diphtheria
. She was always anxious to at
tend church and Sunday school.
These precious truths were com
forting to her in tbe hours of - sick
ness and gave her hope in tbe hour
of death.
Her parents, three brothers and
four sisters survive her.
The funeral service was conducted
at the grave in Oak Ridge ceme
tery because it was considered by
physicians unsafe to hold it iu the
church. Rev. Carnck, of Coryallis,
spoke comforting words to the
mourners, then the mortal was
laid peacefully to rest.
since tne mysterious disappear
ance of little Rena McCready last
Wednesday afternoon. Hundreds
have engaged in the search, and
every effort has been made to
gain some tidings of the missing
child, but not the slightest clew
has developed with regard to her
whereabouts.
The lost child is the six-year
old daughter of Mr. T. D. Mc
Cready, who came to Corvallis
something over a year ago, with
his family, and has since been
employed at the Carriage Factory.
Rena has resided with her grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mills, since
the death of Ler mother, while
the father and the older children,
a girl of ten, and two boys, aged
respectively 14 and 17 years, have
made their home together. All
are residents, of Corvallis.
Last Wednesday afternoon, Re
na accompanied her grandfather
to the home of E. W. Strong, on
tne Dank 01 tne Willamette, in
the northern pajt of town,' to pick
cherries. Early in the afternoon,
Mr. Mills missed the child, who
had been plavitg under the trees,
but supposed she had returned to
her home, a couple of blocks dis
tant. He went home shortly
after, and his wife enquired for
Rena. Then search was begun
As time passed and no trace qf
the child could be found, tne neigh
borhood was aroused and the po
lice officers joined in the hunt.
Just at nightfall the fire alarm
was sounded and citizens who re
sponded were organized into
squads and a systematic and
thorough search was made along
the river bank, and of the neigh
borhood near where the child
was last seen.
Up to this time little thought
was given to the suggestion that
the little girl might have fallen
in the river. But J. H. Moore,
who was picking cherries in the
Gerber orchard in sight of the
boom that extends out into the
river near the sawmill, reported
that ne saw a cniid, answering
the description of. Rena,-ou the
boom about two o'clock. Grap
pling hooks were secured and
several parties in ski fife began
dragging the river about eight
o'clock and continued until after
ten. Two men who were drag
ging with a barbed wire, hooked
something at the mouth of Dixon
Creek, which they believe was
the body, but they were unable
to make sure in the darkness
The search was resumed early
yesterday morning and contin
ued all day. Blasts were put in
deep holes and the ledges along
the banks of Ihe river were thor
oughly inspected. In the after
noon some parties continued
down the river in skiffs intend
ing to proceed as far as Albanj
Some few believe that it -is
possible that the child was kid
napped by a band of Indians who
drove down the Albany road
about 2 o'clock Wednesday after
noon, but the theory is not given
serious consideration.
When last seen, Rena wore a
blue bonne pink or red cloak,
black stockings and shoes. The
child Mr. Moore saw on. the log
boom answered this description.
She was about fifty yards from
the shore. The boom is about
two feet wide, and the water is
from two to five feet; deep.
Although tbe father says she was
nery timjd about water, it is
feared that she ventured out on
the boom and becoming dizzy
fell into the stream.

TO PROTECT FARMERS.
License
Mast Be Taken Out and Filed
By Storers of Uraia.
An act, passed by the lastdegis
lature, that is of interest lo every
fanner in Oregon, went into effect
last Wednesday. This law was
passed in response to a popular
demand from all parts of the
state for better protection for
storers of grain against a certain
class of warehouse operators.
Numerous men engaged in the
warehouse business have gone to
the wall; their patrons having no
recourse except to criminal prose
cutions only one conviction was
ever secured, " and that was iu
Marion county. So the last leg
islature passed an act designed
as a measure of protection against
sharpers in the warehouse business.
The Act (Sess. Laws 1903, p.
253) provides that "it shall be
unlawful for any bailee or bailees
on and after July 1 1, 1903, to
solicit or receive any kind of
grain in storage belonging to any
other person or persons, whether
for compensation or otherwise,"
until the provisions ot the act in
question have been complied
with. The act then prescribes
the licensing of warehousemen
by the county courts upon the
filing of. a satisfactory undertak-

with tbe parties owning land in
block 18, as to the compensation
to be paid for right of way over
the same for said lateral sewer.
The sewer committed reported
favorably in regard to sewers
through block 4, O. T. ; blocks
18 and 19, N. B. and P. Avery's
addition; block 1, county addi
tion, and block 3, O. T. A re

His Seventieth Birthday.
Our esteemed citizen, S. Chip
man, attained the good biblical age
of three score years and ten last
Tuesday, and many of his friends,
consisting principally of members
of Ells worth Corps G. A. R. and
of Masons called on him at his
home in the evening of that day.
Mr. Chipman seemed lo be the
liveliest and happiest one present,
although all in attendance had a
good time and enjoyed themselyes
to the fullest extent.
. He received all with a hearty
handshake at the door of his resi
dence and invited them inside
where they were met by thn good
wife and made welcome. It was
pleasant to see the look of kindness
expressed as Mr. Chipman received
his comrades ot the Civil War and
the merry twinkle of the eve as he
greeted his brother Masons, especial
ly the Mystic Shiiners, who saw
him ride the goat a few days since.
His cup is certainly f full to over
flowing. He has lived a just and
upright citizen; he is highly re
spected by his neighbors: he can
point with pride to his pervice for
his county when it needed, the as
sistance of all its loyal eons; he
has recently finished all of the ob
tainable York-right Masonry, and
now has passed the age limit usually
allotted to man, and eeenis good for
another decade at least. He has
the love and confidence of the wife
who reared his children and cared
for his home while he fought his
country's battles, and who has been
his Joving companion in all his de
clining year?. He certainly has
reason to be thankful for his pres
ent happy condition.
After light refreshments, the
guests departed for their homes
about ten o'clock, wishing ,Mr.
Chipman the return of many happy
birthday occasions. So mote it be.

in any sum not less than $1,000
nor more than $50,000, for the
faithful performance of their du
ties as bailee or bailees. The
sureties to the bond may be three
or more residents of the county,
in which the warehouse is to be
operated, and who shall have the
qualifications of bail upon arrest,
or any surety company designat
ed by law as competent bonds
men on any official bond requir
ed by the state or any county.
The courtis given the right if at
any time the bond becomes in
sufficient to require additional or
new security, and if the same is
not given within the time fixed
by the court, the sheriff shall be
ordered to take possession of
the warehouse and the grain
on storage, and nold the same
until the business of the ware
houseman . has been settled
up. The operators of ware
houses are required to file, on
June 15 th of each year, a state
ment showing the quantity of
grain in store and the quantity
of grain represented by outstand
ing . warehouse receipts, this
statement to be filed by the
county clerk and safely kept for
public inspection. A fine of $50
a day is imposed for the opera
tion of a warehouse in violation
of the provisions of this act.
lne only expense tne ware
house operators will be put to in
complvinsr with this law is the
cost of securing a bond or un
dertaking, as the Jaw makes ab
solutely no provisions for the
payment of fees to the county or
its officers lor the work of exam
ining the bonds or issuing the
licenses, the framers of the act
in question having evidently had
in mind the fact that all county
officers in the state are on salary,
and the act is not intended to
"bleed" warehousemen, but is
designed solely for the protection
oi the storers of grain. .
