been in Corvallis for the past week,
partly for that purpose.

A number of prune growers of,
the Willamette valley met at Sa
lem recently and took preliminary
steps toward organizing a mutual
fire insurance association for . the1
protection of the fruit driers of the ,
growers. The reason for the step
is the fact that the old line insur
ance companies have made the rate
on prune driers almost prohibitive,
and thi organization is formed for
the growers at a nominal or rather
the actual cost of insurance The
as?oc;ation will be on the ities oi
the Butteville Hop Growers Fire
Association, which has beeu a great
success among the hop grower,- of
Marion and adjoining counties.

Pilkington placed the injured
man in a wagon and drove thirty
miles after night to a place where
the services of a physician could
be secured. He says Tharp dis
played remarkable nerve, never
even uttering a groan. After his
wounds were dressed he was
placed on a stretcher and taken
to his home ' at Sheridan, last
Saturday, where he is now on
the road to recovery.
Tharp is. a well-known O. A.
C. student He was a star mem
ber of the football team of that
institution last season, and was
looked upon as a strong man for
the coming year. It is quite
likely that Douglas county will

to pay.
Pilkington will return to Cor

to enter college this fall.

Scoffers were many throughout
the years of the inventor's toil
ing. Believers in his ultimate
success there were not any.
In the early days of his siriv-
Tbe'ing Casterline used to tell people,
who inquired what kept him so
busy in his shop both night and
day continuously, that he was
"experimenting;" that he pur
posed to learn how to temper
steel that would cut steel, and
that he would never stop unti
that object was attained.
Some of these people laughed
openly. Some others restrained
their mirth and only smiled, and
still others did neither. They
pitied the toiling blacksmith.
Nobody took him ' seriously,
ay an ne was regarded as a harm
less crank.
"I knew nobody had faith in
what I was trying to do," said
the inventor. "I always told
people that I was going to learn
to temper steel in a way tha
would revolutionize present ineth
ods. Naturally, they didn ' t be
lieve me. .
"People at Corvallis used to
act as though they thought me
insane when I first told them
what I was doings They would

me to talk about mv work.

Charley Chipman received a
letter, Tuesday, calling him to
Ager, Calif.,, immediately, - and
he left for that place the follow
ing day to resume his duties as
timekeeper for the crew of labor-
ers.now engaged in laying new
steel across the Siskiyous. for the
Southern Pacific. He had in
tended to., continue his visit here
with his family until the first of
next week, but this letter from
Mr, Sechler announced that the
man who was filling Charley's
place during the latter' s absence
had taken his life.
The suicide was Duncan Stew
art, of Astoria. He had only
been on duty a day or two, when
he received a letter from home
last Friday, the contents of which
seemed greatly to depress him.
He secured Mr. Chipmah's rifle,
and secluding himself, placed
the muzzle in bis mouth and
pulled the trigger with his toe.
The charge blew the top of his
head off.
In his letter, Mr, Seckler
states that the body was wrapped
in one of Mr. Chipman's quilts,
and forwarded to Astoria. The
suicide must have taken his life
in Mr. Chifman's apartments, for
the letter tates that bis bed-

in my invention.
"There is the result of my five
years ot toil," said Casterline,
pointing to the hasped and locked
box containing his fluid. '.'You
see I keep it locked. I do not
think it would be possible for
any chemist to analyze the liquid
in such a way as to tell what its
irfgredients were aud-their pro

CorvaUls Is Profiting:.
Corvallis is obtaining scarcely
less advertising from B. J. Cas
terline's new process of temper
ing steely than is the discoverer
himself. Last Sunday's San
Francisco Examiner devotes a
whole page to an illustrated
write-up of Mr. Casterline and
his discovery, and Corvallis
comes in for a good , share of
notice. Should the process prove
to be all that is claimed for it,
this little, town on the bank ot
the Willamette will have fame
that will outlive the ages. In
the meantime, it is getting a lot
of valuable advertising free.
The Examiner's article is
illustrated with a- picture of Mr.
Casterline at his forge, and a
fantastic sketch that shows him
in ' his laboratory guarding the
box that contains the magic
fluid with . which he works his
miracles in steel tempering.
In concluding its . article, the
Examiner says:
