The company, num bering about sixty-five, were enter tained by a short program, followed by games and" lastly, refreshments. Simplicity and. genuine hospitality marked the eyening, which drew to a close leaving only happy re membrances for the participants. Mrs. Henry Holroyd and chil dren, whose husband and, father rtied last week in this city and whose remains were taken to Iowa for inteiment, desire us to exprets their most sincere appreciation of and thanks for the many kind nesses shown them by Corvallis neonle durine their recent bereav- ment. Believe them sincerely grateful. - The noted evangelist-orator, Sam P. Jones, is to lecture in the U. P. church at Albany this evening. Beyond doubt quite a contingent from Corvallis will be in attendance as an opportunity to hear so cele brated a man does not occur often. "The World as it is, and the World aa'it ought to be," "Sham an the Genuine," are some of the topics of thifc celebrated orator. J.N. Hegeman, a New Yorker who if spending the winter in A'eea, recently ordered a canvas boat through H. Hodes, of this city. On receiving the boat, Mr. Hegeman took a paddle down the Alsea. The river was . badly swollen at the time and t'no boatman was upset from the boat in some manner. - He wrote a friend in this city that owing to the presence of some peo ple on a bridge across the stream bis life was saved, but that, the canoe was ten feet under water. Beyond doubt the young man came near losing his life. Perhaps the largest real estate deal ever negotiated in this county was one consummated Monday by Ambler & Waters. The farm of Mrs. C. E. Johnson, comprising 1,300 acres was sold to Portland parties. The property lies seven miles south of this city and is a fine property. The exact pric3 is not given out at present, but is known to be upward of $30,000. This is a remarkable deal in more way3 than one. Of course, it is important on account of it3 size, but has added significance when it is considered that this is an in vestment of Portland capital. The Portlanders evidently know what they are about. Success to them whatever their intentions are. During the first of the week Wil liam Hansell, Lincoln Chambers and Cliff Kerr weist out south of this city to the Buchanan place to hunt geese- Here a most remark Able thing happened: While MessrB. Chambers and Kerr kept under cover of the blind, Mr. Han- eell undertook to put out the de coys. Whilst thus engaged a lone gander sailed along and lighted within a few feet of Mr. Hansell, who had no gun. On account of the goose being in line with the decoy eetter the fellows in the blind dared net shoot. With the agility of a cat Mr. Hansell sprang at the goose and caught iL Mr . Hansell is a pretty small man, but his friends never would have believed him so small that a wild goose would overlook him and ' almost light upon him. While all of the above is literally true, it was a "goose" trick after all. . Ask some -cf the' b-ys about it. -. . . v 1 In Wednesday V Teleeram there appeared a very nice write-up for Corrallis' Junior foot-ball team, ac companied , by a good half-tone. The boys made a good record dur ing the season.' - y'.- .' . The mid-winter examinations are drawing to a close at the' Corvallis public schools.

This will be the first of a series of sermons upon the eye, ear, nose and mouth, and so-called feeling. The object will be to show the effect of passion or religion upon these senses. Miss Gladvs Moore and one or two of her young lady friends gave a delightful dancing party in Jb lsh er's hall Wednesday night .in honor of Joseph C. Henkle, who departs Sunday for Schenectady, N. Y., where he will take a course in the great electric institution .of that city. - Presbyterian church, M. 8.

Further more, a man who wields a razor for a living allowed hisv enthusiasm to get the upperhand of him recent ly ip this city, and for his indul gence he paid $5, coin, of the realm. A few days ago Homer Lilly butchered one of the large, steers that was a factor in his guessing match during the holiday. This was the second, last and largest half of the guessing match the spotted animal. It weighed when dressed 1,175 pounds. .The black animal, killed, some time ago, dressed 1,046 pounds. It is thought that this last animal was the largest ever killed in this city. John Goldson, a cousin of Henry Wortham, of this city, accidently shot himself Iafct Sunday while cougar hunting near what is known as the Goldson saw mill in Lat e county. Before accidently shoot ing himself he had twice shot a cougar he had treed. When found by companions of his hunt Gold son was in the agonies of death and only lived a few minutes.

Thev are both happy sur rounded by their children and pos sess enough of this world's good sto insure them the good things of life. As the result of this . union four sons and a daughter were born and all are aliye and well to day. Owing to the fact that their eon, Attorney J. F. Yates, was recently , called to Iowa on busi ness, the golden' wedding day of these worthy people passed by without any unusual demonstration; as iney were desirous ot Having a family' reunion on this occasion but the necessary - absence of a son changed the program.
