ris' residence.
The Ladies' Missionary-Tea at
the home of Mrs. J. H. Harris on
Wednesday af oeri oon was largely
attended and very successful. An
attractive program was presented
after which some entertaining talks
and discussions on the subject of
missions was entered into by Miss
Hatch, Mrs. Griswold, of Albany,
Mrs. Porter, of Brownsville and
others. Dainty refreshments were
served. The attendance was be
tween fifty and sixty and all were
interested in the proceedings.
Tuesday while the pupils of the
public school were having their
usual recess, little Noma Stewart,
a child of Lafe Stewart, who lives
in the northern part-ot town, re
ceived injuries which was feared for
tiuje might be serious. It appears
that some of the girls seized upon
the boys' faotball. Immediately
there was a wild scramble for the
ball in which a large number of
the pupils participated.' In the
headlong rush, Noma, who is but
11 years old, ,in some manner was
thrown or possib'y fell down, and
was stepped upoa by small chil
dren. One of her limbs was uery
much bruised and her head receiv
ed several minor contusions. The
child is rather delicate and the
shock and the pain, of the bruises
caused her to faint. She was cared
for by teachers and schoolmates
until one of the boys procured a
buggy and she was conveyed home.
Fortunately her injuries were found
to be slight and she .expects to be
in school, again soon. She is a
bright and ambitious pupil and her
teacher, Miss Kyle, and her class
mates greatly esteem her and re
joice that she escaped serious in
jury.
Another attraction that is draw
ing the attention of passers by is
a large consignment of Indian
baskets from northern New York.
Nothing equal to it has ever be

Lieutenant Quinlan received a
communication yesterday from
the secretary of the war depart
ment at Washington, authorizing
t,: j: ;jj i m?j. r
mm lu uiviueu tne military iorces
at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege into two battalions of three
companies each. This division
will place the Corvallis school on
an equal footing with the best
military schools in the United
States. There there are already
four companies above the regu
lar army requirements." This
new order gives . Mr. Quinlan
authority also to appoint an extra
major and staff. The names of
the new officers will probably be
announced in a few days.
From now on the instruction
along military lines in OAC will
be almost precisely that of the
regular army service. A hospital
corps will be organized within
the next few days to give, practi
cal instruction in that line! This
instruction will include demon
strations in first aid to wounded,
drowning, faintness, etc. Lect
ures will also be giveu on mili
tary hygiene, taking up the sub
ject or proper food, water, cloth
ing, care of hands, hair and feet.
Beginning with next month the
ceremony of mounting guard
with band will commence and
continue throughout the year.

Barney Casterline, famous the
country over as a temperer of
edge tools has bean living at
Bellfountain this summer but
will move to Portland Tn the
near future, where he will open
a shop and seek ' to dispose of
some of his patents. He has just
sold one of his patents, a con
trivance : for regulating the heat
of a room, for which he received
sum of money. Casterline is all
right and there fis no discounting
his ability v As a past master in
the art of welding and temper
ing he has no equal on the Pacific
Coast, if not in America.. Dur
ing the summer he has beenri
receiving edge tools from differ
ent parts of the United States
and Canada from persons who
have heard of him and wish to
test his ability.
Talk with Casterline about the
lost art of tempering copper and
he will show you tempered . cop
per equal to the best the ancients
produced that crumbles under
the hammer like other tempered
metals. Casterline makes and
tempers steel equal to the famous
Damascus blade of old. He takes
a common pen knife and so
tempers it that it whittles iron
and will cut a hair without' re-
sharpenjng. A common table
knife is tempered and sharpened
and drawn fifty times across a
stone, " iron or any other hard
surface and will afterwards shave
the back of the hand.
The secret of it all, of course
lies in the chemical solution in
which" he immerses his metals.
He has three of these solutions,
but the price he asks for them
puts them beyond the reach of
ordinary mortals and he will
probably not reali e much out of ,
his discoveries until he organizes
stock companies or sells on the
royality plan. s
That Casterline is a .genius
there is no doubt and his friends
wish to see him succeed. '
