BOOTH IS GREAT. Benton Has Nothing Ashamed Of. To Be Sidney Trask, who has beeo in charge for some weeks of the task of decorating and arranging the Benton county booth at the Lewis and Clark Fair, arrived in this cit Friday evening. He had with him a few photographic views ' of the oooth, taken since he had completed the work entrusted to him. - The photographs were taken for use of the Oreonian in a write-up that great publication sees fit to eive our 'booth. The views Mr Trask had were something great and it will be possible at the close t of the Fair for anybody who ao desirea to secure copies, bat not sooner. The rea-1 ann nf thia in that, enn poaoirtna in th ! way of photographs have been restricted and while the large ' papers of Portland are privileged to secure photographs to make cute for illustrating their jour nals they are prohibited from Belling the same. They may give them away, as they were given k to Mr. Trask or the Benton .county court, if they, see fit, but it is hardly likely that they would want to supply as a gift all "demands. Judge Watters will no doubt ,: be pleased to show to anybody those sent by the Oregonian artists to our county court. All who have seen oar booth of late speak in glowing terms of its appear ance. Mr. Trask has done his work well.

At his place of business the work of . invoicing is on hand and necessitates Mr. Trask's pre sence.

Word reached Corvallis Friday morning of the death of Clyde Tharp, near Bellfountain. There are not many facts known re garding the death of the unfortu nate man. From what could be ascertained it appears that he had been hauling gravel and early Friday morning started as usual with his team for a load. Short ly after eight he . was found by the roadside dead. Following this came the discovery that his wagon had been smashed to pieces. The supposition is that he was the victim of a bad run away accident. In no ether way can his death be accounted for. Mr? Tharp was aged 27 years. He leaves a wifje and one child. The remains were interred at Bellfountain, Sunday; This was an unusually sad accident, as it. cost a young - man his life. No one witnessed the accident. Bishop Morrison Coming. Presiding Elder McCausland of the M. E. church, South, has been in South ern Oregon of late attending duties con nected with church interests.
