Beach Brothers on Thursday be
gan the task of digging their field
of .potatoes. This may sound like
an ordinary job, , but if any one
thinks it is a snap let him sit up
and take notice.' There are 20 acres
of potatoes to be dug and if good
weather prevails it will take a mau
and a four-horse digging machine
all this week to do the work, where
as if it rains, the task may last a
month. - At present only three
pickers can be .had but seven or
eight could be used in gathering up
the spuda after they are dug. Po
tatoes are 50 cents per bushel in
the local market, but it is probable
that the Beach boys will store and
ship a good part of their crop.

significant thing, scarcely to be

two what a eight the town would be!
If one desires to see an example of
what would result, let him pass the
old Farmers' Hotel these days and
after wading through tb.9 accumu
lation of dirt and dead leaves on
the walk in front, return to the
cleanly swept walks and breath a
breath of thanksgiving for the little
things of life. For the welfare of
ths town it would seem desirable
that the section of walk mentioned
should speedily be cleaned.

Word from Corvallis shows that
Miss Lizzie Taylor who was married
to P.' H. Swabb the first of the
week by County Judge Stewart was
but 13 years old, if the public
school records are correct. This is
three years under the age required
by the laws cf Oregon, and if true,
places the the girl's mother, Mrs.
Florence Kemp in a rather bad
light. . When procuring the marri
age license the mother on her oath
stated that her child was sixteen
years of age." The records further
show that she swore her daughter
was a resident of Albany, Linn
county, when in reality her home
was in Corvallis. -It is said Benton
county authorities may investigate
the affair. Albany Herald.

Why Not Use Electric 'Lights?
Stop scratching matches on jour wall.
Those streaky match scratches look
mighty bad on any wall. But as long as

to use matches.
The "matchless light" is the electric
light, a simple twist of the wrist does it.
We are improving and perfecting our
lighting service in this city and can give
