Dunham, who went to California a few weeks ago, has written that he has purchased an improved farm at Eureka atd ex pects to sell his property near thib city and remove with his family to that place. . H. E. Hodes received a letter a couple of days ago from Dick Zahn, of Alsea. The writer stated that last Sunday morning he had killed a cougar that measured ten feet in length from the point of the nose to the tip of the tail. This is the 126th cougar that Mr. Zahn has killed since taking up his residence in Alsea. Siortly before the hour of mid night Wednesday the S. P. freight crtw while switching in this city, got off the track in some manner between the two depots. Agent Croniee, of the C. & E,, was routed out of bed and asked for the use of his company's engine for use in pulling the cars back on the track. The request was readily granted and everything was soon O. K. News to the effect that Mrs. Carl F. Farber died recently at her home at.Pincber: Creek, Canada. ' To gether with her husband and chil dren she went from this section to Canada last September. The fam ily used to reside in Linn county just across the Willamette river from Corvallis. . Mrs. Tamin, sister of the disceased, may soon journey to Pincher " Creek and bring the orphans to her. home near this city. We are in receipt of a letter from F. P. Sheasgreen, of ' the Oregon Box & ' Manufacturing Co.; Port land, in which the writer states that the future "for the company looks very promising. , They have eecured a contract for the manu facture of 275,000 salmou cases for the coming season. They have the factory in good working order and are using 1,500 feet of lumber every day in their work. Edwin Rose has become quite an expert box maker. In the way of valentines there was something doing about town Wednesday. So far as those at tached to this office are concerned we have no kick coming. Of course, as usuil, one or two of us were not "in it," but our follow workers wen so enthusiastically re membered that matters were about evened up and averaged well. Ap a sample of our treatment we men tion incidentally that Merwin Mc Maines, our job printer, received an express package from Lincoln county on which he paid 30 cents only to find a bottle of buttermilk accompanied by a verse in com memoration of the day. News of the death of Frank' Wicks, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wicke, came over from Albany Wednesday. The parents formerly resided in this city and the boy was born here. It seems that the lad, in company with another boy, was out of Albany some distance at what is known as Millersburg, and rattier than walk back they de cided to board a freight train just passing. Frank was first to make the attempt and missed his hold and was thrown under the train and killed. At 2:30 yesterday af ternoon the funeral services were held iu the First Christian church of Albany and the remains were in terred in the Masonic cemetery of that city. Rev. Ella Humbert con ducted the services. Frank was a good boy, industrious and popular. He leaves many relatives and iriend3 in Corvallis. Miss Clara Baker, daughter of Mr. and MrB.

E. church will be conducted by the pioneer preacher of Oregon, the Rev. T. L . Jones, author of the book, "From the Mines to the Pulpit." . Frank Howell, well known in this city, but .who has passed the winter at Alsea, .came out from the latter nlace Tueedav. After a short visit in Corvallis he intends going to Abeideen, Washington, where he will be employed in a logging camp. Yesterday Capt. J. W. Crawford filed his petition with the county clerk announcing' his republican candidacy for nomination at the coming primary election for the of fice of recorder.

Of these, one teacher is taking the "exam" f state papers. In the work of ex amination Supt. Denman is assist ed by Prof. N. Tartar, of OAC, and Prof. O. V. White, of Philomath. Countv court met in adjourned sesaion Wednesday for the purpose of hearing objections, if any, to those appointed judges and clerks of elec tion at the January term of court, aleo to confirm and correct such list. According to law there must be an adjourned term held for this purpose on the second Wednesday of February. Prof. C. O. Boyer. of the Willam ette University of Salem, and form erly Presideut of the Puget Sound University atTacoma, Washington, will deliver an address at the Meth odist Episcopal church Sunday night. Prof. .Boyer is a talented man of fine personality and will furnish a rare treat to the students and citizens of Corvallis. From various sources we hear complaint of boys who make a busi ness of pushing companions into hedges. After a lad has been boosted into a-hed;ie it takes a year or two for Nature to repair the damage. Such actions on the part of the boys borders on hoodlumism and if they coi.tinue some of them will find themselves before the po lice judge charged with the destruc tion of property. A few days ago while doing some repair work on his house, known as the old Bell residence, J. W. Woods unearthed an old document that is of some interest to old-timers on account of the memories it will awaken. The pappr was the ap pointment of Matthew H. Bell post m aster of Corvallis . The docu men t bears the date of October 4, 1858, and is signed by J. Holt, postmas ter general of the United States at that time. The paper is in a splen did state of preservation every let ter written or printed on it being perfectly legible. A few days ago S. II. Horton, of this city, was commenting on the difference in the weather in Benton county and where he was fifty years ago. Fifty years ago on the 8th of February the first child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Horton, who at that time resided in Rochester, Minn. This child was Henry L. Horton and he was the firs, mnle child born in Rochester. At the time of hi9 birth there were two feet of snow on the ground and ths thermometer stood at 20 below, and for this reason the father particu larly remembers the occasion. Freight train No. 221 south bound, was wrecked near Millers burg on the East Side shortly after four o'clock Wednesday morning. A. journal on one of the cars broke and caused the wreck. The track was somewhat torn up and a rail or two broken. The north bound ioverland arrived in Albany a little late and ran over to Corvallis on the C. & E. line and passed on to Portland over the West Side. Luckily, in the freight wreck no body was injured. The track was soon cleared and repaired and it was necessary to Eend but one train to Portland by way of Cor vallis. Many a man is boosted into of fice not on account of his education al qualifications, but for his' popu larity. In order to prove this we submit the following which was written Chief of Police Lane, of this city by a constable from another Oregon county under date of Feb ruary 12. "Wanted For Obata ing Money Under Falsepertines A, Fay. a bout 30 years oald 5 fettt4 or 4 inches tall brown hair dark eyes very stuped shoulders walks with head down when last seen wore blue suit of cloths and cap hanges around saloons also a a kind of a show man.

Doings at National Capital .: Bear ing on the , West. i In the rapid evolution of policy to be pursued by forestry officials in treating with stockmen desir ing range privileges on reserves, an important question has already arisen in Oregon. The; super visor of the Wenaha reserve; has given Washington sheepmen leases en portions i of the reserve in Oregon under the announce ment that the Washington sheep are want to feed there daring the summer. Oregon sheepmen, pro testing through the Umatilla Wool Grower's Association, as sert that much of this range ac corded Washington has been used in the . past by them in a predatory manner, and that the action ' of the" forestry officials is perpetuating the wrong. The effect of the present situa tion is that Washington . men have a total , of 174,269 sheep on the entire Wenaha reserve, while the Oregon men have a total of about 25,740. There is said to be a total of 37,230 Washington sheep on the Oregon side, which is more than the Oregon people themselves have on their, own side of the reserve. Sheep own ers paying taxes in Umatilla county insist that they would use all of the Oregon side, of the range, if forced out. ' Senator Fulton has been work ing with the department to change such a policy, and the case, has resolved itself into a questioa of fact. The depart ment, acting under the instruc tions of the Wenaha supervisor, proceeds on an assumption of facts which is contracted by the sheep men. The . result will be formal investigation to learn the real situation, as the Oregon sen ator intends to insist on fair play; and will not be content with the mere statement of officials that their policy is adhering to the former range practices. In making preliminary ar rangements for construction of a mi;e of good road on either side ot the Cascades, Senator Fulton has been urged by Judge John Scott, of Salem, president of the Oregon Good Roads. Association, to strive at all times, to keep the average cost of work down to the lowest figure. Judge Scott holds that owing to- the sparse settle ment, in Oregon, such a demon stration will have value in pro portion to its permanence and initial cost. The senator has taken this point up with the gov ernment officials who will have charge, and hopes that the ex perimental work will be a lesson in economy, as well in the new science of road construction. . Announcement of the interior department, that reclamation woik for some time would be confined to present projects, be cause available funds are pledged, is dejecting for the Oregon work ers in congress. Oiegon's con tribution to the reclamation fund being., larger than . the other states, : her people expected pro portionate work, but have been disappointed. The varied trou bles 3 through ; which the state has passed made all efforts in her behalf for the past year unusually difficult, and just as these were being swept aside, the department expressed the purpose of entering upon no new work. Senator Fulton has been contending with the interior department for a long time that his state had as mauy practicable projects for reclamation as any other; and should be given money in pro portion to its contribution to the fund. He hopes yet to establish this principle, so as to have it observed in the future. Remember Nolan's Remnant and Rummage Sale will close Saturday at 9 p. m. A Healing Gospel. The He v. J. C.

They have ordered a forty five gallon kettle for . boiling , all water used by the school children. A 60 gallon tank is also ordered for cooling purposes and ; for use as a reservoir. This was a wise move on the part of the board.
