' Last week, Chief of Police Lane, accompanied by his wife, went to Portland to have a look at things about the Fair. Rob ert Johnson went down on the same train. When they arrived at the metropolis our friend Rob ert made a break down town, but he did not proceed far before he saw some very curious jumping- iacks, and according to Chief Lane stopped to inspect them. The Chief and his wife were nearly bothered to death, on arri val at the depot -by hotel and rooming house runners., So anx ious were these depot pests that the Chief and his wife covered three blocks of the city before they felt themselves free from runners. Now, all of this did not escape the watchful eye ol Robert. While the latter still gazed at the jumping-jacks the chief and his wife passed him and Robert fell in a short distance behind them. Whilst thus plodding along . alone Satan operated on Bob and he concluded to operate on the standard of law and order in Corvallis. Now, be it known that the chief bore carpet sacks in either - hand until he was both weary and heavily laden, also out of temper as the reuslt ol run ning the gauntlet with so many pesky drummers. At this stage he heard a voice from behind sav, "Room, sirf" He paid no attention, but walked on in wratnmi inaepenaence, The voice continued, but no re sult. Finally the runner touch ed the chief on the arm and re peated his query, "Room, sir?" The chief wheeled with blazing eyes and said things. In an in stant he saw that his fellowtowns- man was the runner and that, the joke was on him. Mrs. Lane had looked back and recognized Bob, but it was too good to spoil and she did not give him away. Had such a thing happened the chief in this city the chances are well what? See Blackledge for Linoleum, etc. 26 Ernest Sapp, of Alsea, Corvallis visitor Thursday.
