Mirage Near Silverton.
On Howell Prairie, a few miles
from this city, may be seen some
thing of a phenomenon, which is
called a mirage, an optical illu
sion arising from the unequal
aenai reiracuou wnicn causes re
mote objects to seem double, as
if reflected in a mirror or body ol
water.
This we understand was dis
covered many years ago, but few
people are aware of the fact that
such conditions really exist in
that vicinity, and few have taken
the pains to investigate. A. Whit
lock's attention was attracted by
the phenomenal conditions while
riding along the road recently,
and since having called attention
to the matter quite a little inter
est has been aroused. Sunday
Prof. J. Buff and C N. Matlock
wheeled out to the scene of the
mirage, and found it of sufficient
importance to be really interest

Women and the Fair.
To the Ladies of Corvallis:
Greeting: The county court
has appointed me to assist in col
lecting an exhibit of Benton
county products for the Lewis
and Clark Fair. It is the wish of
the court to have the exhibit pre
pared this year, so it can .be
shown at the state fair in Sep
tember," and at the National :
Grange in November - as well as
at the great lair next year. .
Now it seems to me that the
preparation of fruits, jellies, etc..
should be considered ".woman's
work" as well as needle work,
painting and other fancy articles.
In order to get together, talk
it over and try to decide what
can be done, I ask the ladies of
Corvallis and vicinity to meet at
the Court House on Saturday,
June 25, at 2 :30 p. m. to discuss
the matter. I especially desire
the co-operation ol the ladies of
the Lewis and Clark Club, the
Grange and all other societies
whose objecfis the; advancement
of our county and city. Let us
make a great effort to have our
county take an important place
among the. counties of our state
at all these fairs.

After Crefield's Scalp.
The omcers ot Uorvailis are
determined to have Joshua Cre
field. Nobody who cares to tell
seems to know just where he is,
but there is a strong suspicion
that he is not very far away.
Perhaps he has completely dis
appeared and his victims are left
to care for themselves.
Lest public interest should
wane in the matter a substantial
increase has been added to the re
ward offered for his capture.
Four hundred dollars is the
sum now offered for Crefield, who
is 30 years of age, light hair,
carrying a bible, and talking
brokenly in Swedish. If he is
near Corvallis his followers should
be closely shadowed by the offi
cers. If he is at a distance the
federal autHoritieg should mark
and examine all mail matter pass
ing between interested pxrties.
The county sheriff is doing a
wise thing in flooding the coun
try with Crefield's likeness,, and
substantial reward coupled with
a thorough advertisement ol this
kind will at least drive him from
the haunts of civilized man.
A band of religious zealots has
appeared near Chicago, says an
exchange, very similar to. the
Oregon Holy Rollers, the women
going with unkempt hair and the
men with uncombed beards.
