through France, Italy, England,

countries of the Old World.
Friends deceived themselves into
the belief that rest and quiet
would restore the vitality that
had been sapped by this tkesome
trip. It was not to be. Dr.
Ainsl'e left his bride in the care
of lovingr friends and went to
Portland to prepare his home
and arrange his affairs prepara
tory tp.aaia taking up his -.pro
fession.' A week before her
death, Mrs.. Ainslie complained
of feeling .worse and her husband
was summoned froirVl Portland:
A physician was consulted but
he found no alarming symp'oms.
Her condition remained much
the same until last Monday morn
ing, when her malady develqped
into peritonitis with alarming
manifestations. , Three physi
cians, after consultation, an
nounced that the only hope lay
in an operation. Dr. MacKenzie
was summoned by phone from
Portland and he arrived by special
train that evening at 6:30 o'clock.
An examination convinced him
that the knife must be resorted to,
and at 7 o'clock the operation
began. The patient rallied, but
her vitality was not equal to the
shock, and death came at two in
the morning.
During the funeral services,
which were held at the family
home inV this city Wednesday
afternoon, all the business houses
of the city closed their doors.
There was not room in the spa

.Wednesday afternoon the thresh
ing crew on the college farm c m
pleted their labors after four
days' sepsion. During this time
they threshed peas, vetches, wheat,
oats, barley and rape, in fac near
ly everything but rice. Not mnch
can be said at present regarding
the yield, as there wer only pmali
"dribbles" of the various grains
harvested as an experiment more
than anything else, and n all
probability the results of this pea--son's
haryest on the college farm
will be given at a later date in the
form of a bulletin. The threshing
is done with a little Buffalo Pitt
separator, with a 24-inch cylinder.
Some trouble was experienced with
the separator, and it has been de
termined that the "beater," just
back of the cylinder, is too far from
the latter part of the machine to
do good work. This defect will
likely be remedied brfofe threnhing
time next year. The power is

"Thy. Will Be Done," and after
prayer by Rev. Carrick, Rev. Dr.
E. J. Thompson spoke of her who
was no more. As he related the
incidents in her life that came
under his observation, his voice,
was husky with , emotion and
tears were in the eyes f all who
heard him.
The procession that followed
the white casket to Crystal Lake
cemetery was one of the lougest
that ever formed to march to that
silent city of the dead. At the
grave, Dr. Thompson raised his
voice in prayer and the mortal

making a note of the delivery in

fence aud frightened the horses.
Mr. Starr was standing between
the wheels and . was knocked
down, the hind wheel pass
over him. His crippled ?eg was
so badly hurt that he could not
stand, and was compelled to lie
in the road until Mrs. Vineyard
and Mrs. Martin came to his as
sistance in response to his calls.
He came to town with Mrs.
Bicknell, who was passing on
her way to town a short time
after the accident. "
Meanwhile, the team was cov
ering the route in record time.
It followed the road mapped out
last ppring'by Inspector Clements
and . Postmaster Johnson and
turned in ... at every box. Wm,
Crees met the outfit near the
August Weboer place on the Al

Everything was in perfect order
inside and outside of the risr. and
Crees concluded that the driver
could not be far feway. He tied
the runaways to the rear of his
buggy and started back over the
road they had come, makimr in-
quiry along the way, but could
find no trace of Mr. Starr, so he
drove on into Corvallis.
Aside from the shock and
some severe bruises Mr. Starr
was not hurt, ' although, he is
spending several days in'bed up
on the advice of his physician.

Crop Conditions.
The following summary of
crop conditions has just been
giveh out by the Portland branch
of the United States Department
of Agriculture:
A few small showers occurred
Sunday in the Willamette Val
ley, but otherwise "the past week
has been dry, with temperature
averaging slightly above normal.
The rains we-re insufficient to be
of much benefit to the late crops
and pastures, which are now be
ginning to need rain quite badly
Feed is getting short on the
ranges, and the supply, of milk
is decreasing in the dairy dis
tricts. Stock, however, con
tinues doing fairly well, and cat
tle as a rule, are in good flesh.
An average second crop of
alfalfa has been : harvested in
southern sections. There is some
hay yet to be cut. in the coast
counties, but haying in general
is now Completed, with satisfac
tory yields in all parts ot the
state.
The grain harvest is being
pushed everywhere, and in the
Willamette Valley the yields are
especially good, and in ' Eastern
Oregon they are mmch better
than expected, although not
averaging as heavy as last year.
Spring grain ripened under favor-'
ble weather conditions, and the
heads are well filled with plump
berries. -
The week has been favorable
for hops, and although lice are
more numerous than usual, the
vines have not been injured to
any extent and the prospects are
for yields slightly below those ob
tained last ve?r. Corn has made
good progress, and it is now tas
selug and earing. Late pota
toes and gardens Heed rain.
Prunes are not; dropping so
badly as they did during the pre
vious week, and this crop will be
an extra , good one. Bartlett
pears are also very promising.
Apples are quite , uneven, and it
is expected the yields will be
less than the average.'
