Sunday, July 10, was an idea! day for a trip into the mountains The sun made the valleys hot and dry and people longed to get away to the shade and the solitude of the hills. The parched earth and ever present dust makes one long: for the mountain streams and untrodden trails. About forty Oak Grove boys and girls ranging from childhood to old age resolved on the above named date to hie away to the bubbling waters of Sulphur Springs. The start was made at sunrise and before the heat be came intense, the long line of buggies and carriages was wind ing its way through narrow mountain defiles, beneath the branches of wide-spreading firs and beside the rippling mountain streams. When the merry crowd reached the springs another ex cursion party was there but all joined in for ajolly time. Every body imbibed deeply of the sul phur water and with it seemed to come the spirit of joy and glad ness. It was not long before all were ravenously hungry and well-filled baskets seem to come as if by magic from a hundred hiding places. Tables groaned under the weight of good things to eat and here and there the green sward was dotted with pretty white cloths where others were preparing their noonday repast. In the afternoon there were games and George Anthony pleased the crowd with a high dive, but Geo. came to the surface more dead than alive. There was a tug of war between Richland and Oak Grove teams, Richland winning . the prize. Ben Mayberry and Diet Moore performed on a trap eze to the delight of all.

A thor ough preparation for work is an indispensible requisite. There are no better recommendations also than uprightness and fair play in all business transactions. But right down at the bottom of it all is publicity. No business man can hope to succeed unless he tells the people where he is and what he has to sell. Judicious newspaper advertis ing is acknowledged by all suc cessful business men to te the very best means" of getting the people to know what you have to sell. The masses read the papers and they can be reached mpre economically through this medium than in any other way. Some kinds of advertising do not pay, but there are other kinds that do pay and pay well. We believe that there is no other firm in the Willamette Val ley making a more determined effort to forge ahead and secure the best that is going than the members of the firm whose name stands at the head of this column. Both gentlemen are thoroughly preparing themselves in the Scranton Correspondence Schools to become first-class architects. The Scranton Schools are the best of the kind in the world and a course ttierem means tnorougn equipment for work. But words are useless when the work of these gentlemen is seen every day. Take for instance . the beautiful residence of F. I. Mil ler, designed and constructed by tnese gentlemen. men again take Neil Newhouse's residence as another instance. The hand some residences of E. E. Wilson John Cramer, John McGee and i many otneis are all the handi work of these gentlemen. For eleven , years they have been building houses in Corvallis and by experience and study they are keeping abreast of the peo ples' needs. The new residence of Mrs. Miller on the corner of Monroe and Ninth street, is a model for skill and workmanship. The house is finished in Oregon oak and will repay the visit of anyone contemplating the eree tion of a residence. They will furnish estimates and supply plans and specifica tions to anyone who desires to bnild. Their office is located on South Main street opposite Black ledges.

Mrs. JVIinerva Ingram died at Coourg, July 9th and was laid to rest in Monroe cemetery, Sunday afternoon. iumerva Ingram was born in Wilson county, Tennessee, Feb. 8, 1824. In early childhood she moved with her parents to Illinois and afterward to Arkansas. On Feb. 25, 1841, she was married to James Ingrain. In 1S52 they removed to Oregon which has since been their home. Deceas ed was the mother of twelve child ren of whom eight are living. Grandma Ingram will long be held in loving remembrance be cause of her upright, Christian character. At an early age she became a Christian and remained true to her profession to the close of her long life. A large company of relatives and friends gathered at the funer al services which were conducted by Rev; T. S. Handsaker, of Cor vallis. Jas. Duffy, who lives at the head of Beaver Creek, had an experience a few days ago that he will not soon forget. It seems impossible to be true yet such is the veracity of jthe narrator that no possible doubt can be attach ed to the circumstances. Duffy was out hunting and had just two cartridges loaded with bird shot, when he came upon five "fat and sassy" brown bears. The mountains are full of bear this year owing to the big crop of wild berries and they are un- common 'independent and sassy says Duffy. There was a mother and her four cubs and they were eating berries and didn't propose to be disturbed Duffy knew he could not kill all five with only two loads and resolved to keep those for emer gency. Two of the bears took after him and they were very much disposed to fignt, when Duffy stopped their progress by two well-directed shots. There was a howl of pain and savage angry that called the other bears to the scene. Duffy taking ad vantage of this little lull in the contest, made good his escape. It sounded to him like there were forty instead of five. He went home as quickly as possible and securing the assistance of sev eral neighbors took their dogs and went back to where he had first seen them. They struck the track, but night came on and they weie compelled- to give up the chase. Makes Cement Blocks. Furniture, Carpets, Matting, Etc. We can furnish your home from cellar to garret.
