Her home is in Brownsville, Teno., and this is the young ladiy's first trip to the coast. , It is a matter for felicitation on the part of our farmers and horse raisers that all kinds of horses are at the present demanding better prices than they did last fall. . . The prices are perhaps 25 per cent high er than they were. Durum the past week or two several dealers have been hire in search of an imals. Under date ot Nov. 1, 1904, Ambler & Watters were appointed by the Union Pacific Rnilroad Co. their Land and Immigration agents for this section. On Wednesday last, this firm was appointed special agent for the Inter-State: Investors Association by A. L. Mentz, travel ing representative of this company. The first appointment was accepted on the solicitation of the Union Par cific Co-, and the second appoint ment carried . a bank indorsement with it relative to the reliability of this firm, so it is patent that they are not only" doing business, but their standing is the very best. Not long ago a well-known lady of this city, on awakening one morn ing confided to her husbahd ( that an unpleasant dream came to her during the night." She said that she dreamed she, was trying ' to get into . some benificiary organization, and in order to get in she ws in formed that it would be necessary for her to prove that she bad an ail ment of some kind. After ponder ing the matter for awhile she said that she was crazy during the win ter and had fits dunng tne summer time. 'She dreamed that she" went in with colors flying. "Her husband, after listening ( YJto the dream, re marked in a matter-of-fact way. that it would be no trouble what ever to secure charter ; members for any organization -on such grounde. Seems hard, doesn't it? At the Congregational church, next Sabbath, Rev.

Powell came ever from Linn county and marketed some garden; truck that he ' had raised this season, out of doors fresh onions and lettuce.. The onions were grown from the seed and were about J,wo feet long and the lettuce was as fine as it could well grow to be . Why do not some of our people go more extensively into this bust ness? ; the pi ices are good and the conditions are as favorable in Ben ton as in Linn for this work. Regarding the recent report that appeared in the Telegram, rrof . 1, E. Richard,: of the Eclectic Busi ness College, of this city,: fearing said report might affect his busi ness in this city, made the follow ing statement: "The report in the Evening telegram, that 1 bad been in Eugene to purchase the Eugene Business College, is false. . 1 bave not been in Eugene ? for several months, and have hot made any proposition for the Eugene Business College." The' latest dispatches indicate that the czar of Russia scratched his band a little in an ineffectual attempt at suicide. So' much for rumor. If the "Little Father" desires this job well done be should haye a Jap try it. - . . Postmaster B. W. Johnson, of this city, will hold an examin ation tomorrow c for v the pur pose of ascertaining who is eligible for service as rural, mail carriers.

" We are in receipt of a song enti tled, "Sleep on Dear Heart, I Can't Forget." ' A glance at this Song showed that the music ' is by Miss Olive I. Thompson, daughter ct Mrs. Agnes Thompson, of this city. Miss Thompson is a splendid pianist and is at present in Boise, Idaho; she did her part- exceedingly well and we congratulate her on her ef fort. Miss Olive's girlh iod was passed in this city,-but ; during the past tea years she has held man v positions as a pianist at various points on the : coast, as. well as having been for some time accom panist for Herr August Aamold, the famous Norwegian violinist. Last Tuesday eyening a ' debate occurred between the Pierian and Philadelphian societies at OAC. This was one of the 9eries "of de bates for the Gatch Cup. At the conclusion of the debate it was an. nounced that the Fhiladelphians had won. liater, however, t- e figures were gone over and it was ascertained that a mistake had been made and on re-count the Pierians were found to Tiave won by point rresiaent Uatch made announce ment in chapel to that effect the following morningi i It is thought that the method of judging .these debates and contests will be cbang ed in future as the manner of judg ing heretofore in vogue has not proved satisfactory; . " J Early . Wednesday morning word reached this city to the effect that the Albany Woolen Mills had been destroyed by fire. B'rom what is learned, it appears ; that shortly after work was commenced in the morning fire originated ; in the wool drier and was quickly carried to all parts of the mill by a large belt which ran through the dry room. Despite heroic efforts the entire plant war consumed . and the loss is variously - estimated ' at from ?ou,UUU to f 5,UUU. An insurance of about $35,000 was carried. A fine plant has been: destroyed in our sister city" and about four score employes are out of employ ment, all of which is too bad and we extend sympathy. . . Additional Local.

Oregon cannot do too much for its educational interests.-: The U issues back under the head of Lf o., OAC and one or two normal A. L. Mentz, of Denver, Colorado, representing the Inter-State In vestors Association, arrived in this city Tuesday.; His work is done almost entirely with real . estate dealers and is for the purpose of providing for all new home-seekers who are coming to the west. This association bas representatives in all of the states west of the Missis sippi river.; ! Mr Mentz was through this section a few years ago but did not have time to do his work very thoroughly." He is quite favorably impressed with our location, the OAC, in fact, everything we have. There is nothing . Badder in this world than to be utterly alone, without any human .ties of blood relationship. When one is in this position-, and bid, or well along in years. they are deserving of great . -a r a j-i m sympathy. Mrs. ai. a. ianan, oi this city, is now thus unfortunately situated. :A little more than a year ago she made a trip back East and visited her girlhood home At this time Ehe saw her only two surviving sisters. Shortly after her return to Corvallis she learned of the death of one of her sisters, Mrs. Best, who died at Storm Lake, Iowa. Lasf Monday; she received the sad news or .the death oi Mrs. iteeae, who died at the home of her ; birth in Hillsboro, Ohio.' Mrs. Reese was not only Mrs. Canan's last sister, but her last surviving, relative. "Hobo Round-Up," in which mention was made of , the , fact that W. D. DeVarney and wife, in the goodness of ? their hearts, had rescued a mere lad from bad company, at least, From ; what is gathered, it appears that they were ill-paid for their good will. it -. seems ; that ? the lad was "light ' fingered" and pretty generally fast for his years. ;; He could dance, and became the idol off many on s account of . the nimbleness of his legs. But his chief charm was in his heels,' not his head. He was a little hood lum, that is all He gave his name as .Thomas Wadleigh and said his home was in Seattle," Wash. This much that he told seems to have been true, for his mother recently sent transportation for ; him from Al bany to Seattle."- When the "boy heard ot , this he secreted him self and the result was a game of hide-and-seek between i little Thomas and Chief L;ane that lasted the greater part of the day, Tuesday. As the shades of even ing crept upon us the chief was still seeking -in vain; After Chief Lane, weaned of this .strenuous game . that he - had been drawn into, and a victim to the pangs of huneer. retired from the field of action to feed the. inner man, little Thomas appeared in flesh on Main street. But the best laid plans of men and boys miscarry at times, and this was one ot those times, When Thomas made his ; second earthly appearance, he had the misfortune to fall ; into the clutches of "hizzoner," Judge Greffbz. Thenrreal business be gran, with the result that Chief Lane escorted ' "Thomas to A1 bany, Wednesday; and' saw" him start for Seattle. .
