"How does my Easter bonnet fit?"
Milton P. ' Morgan -i returned,
Wednesday evening, from a busi
ness trip to Portland. ' .
Otto Headrick passed out from
the bay to Salem, Monday. He
hao pent a day or two at the
coast. " . . , ; .
Last Wednesday afternoon D.
C. Rose turned a force of men
loose at the task of constructing a
harn nn his nlaee a mile or so
west of Corvallis. Norton Adams
will have charee of thj construcr
tion. '
Judge Watters has bad quite a
serious time with his throat during
the week. It swelled so badly that
he was obliged to have it lanced a
time or two. Just what was the
cause of the trouble is hard to
determine, but at any rate be is
much improved at present.
Last Monday, Mrs. Charley
Beach was taken to Portland to be
olaced in a hospital. For the pas
two or three weeks she continued
to grow weaker and her suffering
was gTeat, but the cause of it all
was hard to determine. It was
'feared that the might be afflicted
with cancer of the stomach.
Dr. and Mrs. A. D. Morrison
came up from Carlton during the
first of the week to attend the bed
side of the doctor'B mother, who
resides near Oakville, and who re
cently suffered a paralytic stroke
The doctor returned to Carlton
"Wednesday, but expects to return
to this city today or tomorrow.
A telephone message recently re
ceived in this city , from P. M.
Zierolf. who for the past week or
longer has been in Portland, an
nounces in unmistakable terms
that he is coming back. Mr.
Zierolf notified his folks (that he
will be here today, tomorrow, Sun
day, or at a latter date. Possibly
he will come sooner. He has been j
in the metropolis for treatment for
his rheumatic trouble.
Friends of Thomas Whitehorn
have been wondering of late if he
were sick, as he was never seen on
the streets. Inquiry elicited the
fact that he has been a victim to
the improvement habit. A new
roof has been put on his house and
the domicile has been treated to a
coat of paint. Not satisfied with
this, Mr. Whitehorn continued to
paint eyerything he could lay a
brush to, even the yard fence.
As mentioned in the Gazette a
few days ag, the King Road
Grader was to be given a trial on
the road west of Oak Creek last
Tuesday. The trial took place
alright and members of the coun
ty court and various road super
visors were present to witness the
work of the machine. The work
of the machine was highly com
mended by all who are familiar
with road work. It will do all that
other machines of the country will
do, and more. For certain kinds
of grading it is unequaled and the
county now owns it. It is intend
ed for use in work that the other
machines are not capable ofand
will be used in all sections of the
county. It cost $425.
ine ioiiowing wmcn appeared in
Tuesday's Oregonian, seems to ar
gue that we may expect great
things ere long: Within a week
the new gasoline motor-car now
being tested in Omaha will be
started for its long trip across the
country to Portland, where it will
be put in service over the West
Side track as far as Hillsboro or
Forest Grove. This will be but
the first step, however, it is argued.
and a short ' time will s-e th
motor-cars running over the entire
length of the West Side lines, in
cluding both divisions. This action
will have to be taken by the South
ern Pacific to protect its territory
from the raids of contemplated
electric lines now proposed and
about to be constructed. ,
S. B. Bane has a great time with
his chickens. AmoDg his roosters
are a few that have won distinction.
One came from California and is
. named after the state from whence
he came; another rooster is from
Missouri and you can guess his
name; but the "cock of the walk"
is a home production and came
from the well-known game stock of
W. S. McFadden, of this city.
, California got so mean with the
fowls that Mr. Bane cleared the
deck a few days ago with the in
tention of setting one rooster at a
time on Caliiornia, and in this
manner reducing the bird in ranks.
The plan was first to turn "Mc,"
the game cock, on California, then
give Missouri a trial, finally to en
list the services of any bird who
would fight. "Mc" and California
sparred a faw seconds for an open'
ing. ueiore mr. uane coma in

At the same time he carried in
to captivity many oung Hebrews
who were trained at the court
and some of these captives were
placed in positions of trust and
responsibility in the household
of the King. Among their num
ber was Daniel, who by reason
of sterling worth and true man
hood, was given a place among
the King's wise men and was
many times called to interpret
the dreams of Nebuchadnezzar.
At the time of the accession
of Belshazzar to the Babylonian
throne it appears that this Daniel
was for a time superceded bv the
magicians and soothsayers of
Babylon and was only remember
ed and called by the suggestion
of the Queen mother, who had
known of his services in former
years.
It was at the time of the great
feast made by Belshazzar to a
thousand of his lords, when the
officers of his army, lured by
the fair women of the court and
the prietessses of the goddess,
Ishtar, poured full goblets of

Greatest Discovery of Age.
Nearly every man in the bar

they are more or less successful.

an estate, ihis would have com- course of these years with the
pelled Richard Irwin to give bonds idea of compelling hair to grow

in the sum of $20,000. But accord
ing to a later law , the ad
ministrator's bond is fixed at a sum
equal twice the value of personal
property of deceased added to the
annual rental of his real property.
This accounts for what might be
considered a light bond in this
