TRANSFER OF C. & E. To Be Made Within Two Weeks Interesting Facts. Within two weeks the Corval lis and Eastern railroad will be formerly taken over by the Har riman interests and operated by officials chosen from the Harri man ranks, says the Oregonian. A. B. Hammond, president of the road, tendered his resigna tion at the meeting of the dir ectors in Albany on Monday. His successor has not yet been elected but it is expected that J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Harriman lines of the Pacific Northwest, will be president of the road. It is said that the Cor vallis & Eastern will be operated as a separate line and will re ta n its name and individuality. The date has not yet been set for a meeting of the directors to choose the next president of the road, but it is expected to take place within the next two weeks. At that time the property will be formerly taken over. It is understood that G. W Talbot, now general manager and treasurer of the C. & E., will be made vice president and general manager, succeeding J. K. Weatherford of Albany. Mr. Talbot will probably retain his Portland officers. J. A. Shaw is now secretary of the road, and his successor has not yet been decided uron. It is probable that H. F. Connor or W. R. Litzenberg, of W. W. Cot ton's staff of attorneys, will be elected to that position. The Corvallis & Eastern is 142 miles long, extending from Ya quina, on Yaquina Bay to Idan ha, in the foothills of the Cas cades, Connections are made at Albany with the main line of the: Southern Pacific. The line op erates 18 "locomotives, 10 passen ger cars and 302 freight and mis cellaneous cars. Wedded Wednesday. . There was a quiet but pretty wedding Wednesday at rhe home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Brown, several miles south of this city, when their daughter Miss Ella was united in marriage to Hugh McFadden. The ceremony was performed at high noon, Rev. G. H. Feese of the First Methodist church officiating. Only the family and a few intimate friends were present. The bride was prettily gowned in white. Following congratulations, a sumptuous wedding dinner was enjoyed. The groom is a son of Judge and Mrs. W. S. McFadden and with his bride will reside in Corvallis. Will Build Town. A Eugene dispatch Wednes day says: Honore, Palmer, the financial head of the Storey-Bracher Lum ber Company, which will erect a large sawmill a short distance nortnwest of Eugene, has pur chased a 100 -acre farm from Charles Severson, immediately adjoining the mill site, and it is said that he will lay out a town site there and either sell the lots or build dwelling houses and rent them to the employes of the mill. The location is an ideal one for a small town. The Willamette Valley Co. will probably build an electric line from Eugene to the new mill and village, when it is established. The work of laying off the grounds for the mill is now un der way. and actual construction work will . begin inside of two weeks. The Southern Pacific Company has made surveys for side tracks from the main line to mill site, - and just as soon as possible will send a craw of men here to construct them. ATTRACTS ATTENTION. Benton Livestock Show What An Editor Says. An editorial in Tuesday's Portland Journal tinder the capt ion "Oar .State's Own Field" is of general interest in Benton. It The farme.s of Benton county, according to a dispatch, went home from their county livestock show at Corvallis declaring that next year they will beat the prize winners of this year's show. Therein is displayed striking evi dence ot the incomparable value o. livestock shows in awakening competition. The man who won goes home determined to win next year, and so does the man who lost. The race for something better is what lifted the primitive man out of barbarism, and that, day by day, carries forward the tri umphal . car of civilization. When there is an incentive jor better livestock, and when the competition to produce it be comes keen, development of the best is as sure to follow as that dav follows night. What makes extraordinarily beneficial results inevitable, is that when the better animals are involved, vastlv greater profits must accrue to the husbandman. A farmer at the Corvallis show sold a colt but a lew weeks old for JjSioo. He knows now, and nis neighbor knows, that a new avenue to profit is open and that it lies not in the broncho but in the thoroughbred. It is a con dition certain to result in new energy, new study, and new in spiration for a new industry for which Oregon has resources be yond those of any other stat . The Willamette valley, which grows prolifically every product known in the temperate zone, is capable alone of sustaining 3, ooo,oao head of cattle. It. is a field that Oregon must get ready to occupy, for she must largely supply the O.ient and Alaska, and when the Panama canal is opened a few years hence, Eu rope will lie .at her doors, and will demand at large prices a heavy portion of her horses and export meats.

With no apparent diminution in num ber, applications to purchase tracts of land from the Southei n Pacific railroad are being filed dailv with County Re corder Froman. Yesterday eight addi tional applications were filed for record. There is considerable difference of opinion among those who have applied for railroad lands as to the necessity of filing the applications with the recorder for record. Some contend that this is necessary, while others are of the opinion that the filing of the applications is sim ply a waste of time and money.. Yester day's Albany Herald. The Oregonian says : The big New York firm of Benjaoiin Schwarz & Sous evidently have plenty of faith in the future of the hop market, for Joe Harris, their Oregon representative, has in the past week or more taken on for them about 1100 bales. This buying is re garded as wholly speculative, and would not be indulged in. it the firm did not think they were , going higher. Two years ago Schwarz was heavy buyer when the market was hi the same condi tion as it is at present. The result did not justify his expectations, but this does not prevent him from speculating in hops now. A Salem dispatch says: Tha Oregon Forestry Commission met here and elected Governor Chamberlain chairman and E.-P. Sheldon secretary. The other members present were: S. C. Bartrum, Roseburg; L. S.Hill, Eugene; J. W. Baker, Cottage Grove; H. B, VanDasen, Astoria, and E. R. Lake. Corvallis, It was decided that about 400 men interest ed in the rotection of forests from fire will be appointed fire wardens without pay from the state, though most of tbem will be in the employ of timber owners. Five hundred copies of the new forest fire law will be printed fir the informa tion of wardens. We would frequently see things in a different light if we only understood. If the motive of certain acta were known, how different often would our judsre mantbet For instance: an item ia sometimes .given a newspaper by a reli able person and the item appears in print It may prove to be erroneous in many respects and some one immediate ly concludes that the editor and all his assistants are humbugs or worse, and that the error has been purposely pub lished with malice afore thought. But it hasn't. Sometimes a word or a look is misconstrued by some one who is more hasty in passing judgment than in ex tending charity ; while many a thought- lees act is interpreted wrongfully and even b-coines a shadow in the minds of the suspicious agaiast the character of the one suspected. Let ns think of the motive, now and then, and deal as chari tably with the errors of others as we would wish them to deal with us. At a recent meeting of eastern physi cians there was some vary forcible talk against the ; carelessness ia spreading tuberculosis germs among people, Oi.e physician declared that a "don't kiss the baby" sign should be displayed in eyery home, to be strictly observed by number less aunties, cousins and callers who 'juat must', give the new-born being a few smacks. Another, one of the dele gates said the kissing babi' is as danger oaa as the house-fly in scattering the long disease, and he condemned the use of carpets and the wearing of the long skirts by women on the streets and in public places. Still another doctor was bitter against the filthy condition of the Pullman cars, which are "next to cof fins." Ex. The harry and bustle, the worry and rnstle, the flurry and bustle ot commence ment week are things of the past. Af fairs are settling into the long unbroken calm oi summertime. The tramp, tramp I of many studeat feet is heard no more, , and the echoes as they grow fainter and fainter may be the last that Corvallis will ever hear from some of thosa who are leaving. The annual passing on of the classes is in a way pathetic : their constant going is a continual snapping asunder of ties that to many mean more than the word "commencement." Yet, knowing that without this steady, on ward march there is no progress, we could not wish it otherwise, and as the last senior of 'U7 waves a goodbye from the the car window, Corvallis will forget to mourn, and extend a cheery "good bye." The 3Iodesiy of Women Naturally cakes them shrink from the Indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex aminations, and unpleasant local treat ments, 'which some physicians consider essential In the treatment of diseases of women. Yet, if help can be had, it is better to submit to this ordeal than let the disease grow and spread. The trouble Is that so often the woman undergoes all the annoyance and shame for nothing.

An Irishman had just come over and, being hungry, went to one of the swellest hotels in New York. When the waiter appeared to take his order he said, "Bring me the best you have." After being gone a few minutes the waiter returned with a glass of water, a bunch of celery and a lob ster. When about time to check him up the waiter returned to the customer, asking him why; he ,had not eaten his meal. . "Well," replied the man, "I drank the water and smelled the bouquet, but I'll be durned if I could go the bug." l very common rauit witn a large number of sheep barns Is poor arrange ment both for the animals and feeding, writes a Michigan breeder In National Stockman and Farmer. The barn should be so arranged as to afford the most possible space for the flock and at the same time supply easy facilities for feeding. Stationary racks, unless built against the siding, are inconven ient and obstructive. Arrange the sheep barn to facilitate easy cleaning and re Htterlng. Eliminate narrow spaces, sharp corners and poorly lighted places, as such are deleterious to the best in terest of the flock. The Age of Fishes. The normal length of life of our common small minnows rarely ex ceeds four or five years and may be much shorter, but there are few sat isfactory observations on this point. No general rule can be laid down re garding the age of fishes or the re lation between age and size. It is known that the salmons of the Pa cific coast, whicn. enter the rivers in such immense shoals, live to be four or five years old and then invariably die after once laying their eggs. One Japanese fish died when one year old. On the west coast of Eu rope there occurs a small fish which is like an annual plant that is, all the individuals die each year and only the eggs i. e., the seed re main to produce the next season's croD. St. Nicholas. WrfEN MACAU LAY SPOKE. Flawed at Torremt of Oit t m4 Eiikoar, What can be the matter? Doors open, members rush oat; members are tear log past yon from all points In one di rectiontoward the house. Then wigs and gowns appear. They tell yon with happy faces their committees have ad journed,' and then come a third class, the gentlemen of the press, hilarious. Why, whaf s the matter? Matter! Macaulay is up. You join the runners In a moment. It was an announcement one hadn't heard for years, and the passing of the word "Macaulay's up" emptied committee rooms now as be fore It emptied clubs; the old voice, the old manners and the old style glorious speaking; well prepared, care fully elaborated, confessedly tssaylsh, but spoken with perfect art and con summate management, the grand con versation of a man of ths world con fiding his learning and his recollections and his logic to a party of gentlemen and just raising his voice enough to be heard through the room. As the house filled he got prouder and more oratorical, and thon he pour ed out his speech with rapidity, In creasing after every sentence, till If became a torrent of the richest words. carrying his hearers with him into, en thusiasm and yet not leaving them time to cheer. The great orator was trembling when he sat down. The- ex citement of a triumph overcame him, and he had scarcely the self possession to acknowledge the eager praises which were offered by the ministers and oth ers In his neighborhood. From -Whit-ty's "Parliamentary Retrospect." ENGLISH SCHOOLS. The FlotfBiiK Custom and the Way It Is Regarded. About corporal punishment In Eng land two curious facts lie beyond dis pute. One is that while the working class and the lower middle class dis like and resent it and will not in gen eral allow their children to undergo It, the aristocracy tolerate it without com plaint The time is coming, one might assert paradoxically, when it will be Impossible to flog anybody but the son of a peer. And the other fact is that public school boys have often felt a special affection for the masters who have punished them most. In Westminster abbey stand side by side the tombs of a master and his pupil. The master was Dr. Busby, who was head master of Westminster school for so long a time as fifty-eight years. Nobody ever flogged so many boys as he. The pupil was the theo logian, Dr. South. It is told I am sure the story is true that when South came as a small boy to Westminster Busby greeted him with the ominous words: "I see great talents in that sulky little boy, and my rod shall bring them out." If so, he was no doubt as good as his word. But when South lay upon his deathbed it was his last prayer to be buried at his old master's feet, and the master and the pupil now rest side by side. Nine teenth Century. West Indian Negroes. The West Indian negro is a born poacher. He catches the quail by the I cruel expedient of strewing finely pow ! dered cayenne or bird pepper in the I little dust pits where the birds "wash." ' The burning powder gets into the eyes of the birds, which, confused and help 1 less, are then easily caught When he wants a wholesale supply or flsh, ne explodes a piece of dynamite, which was probably Intended for the making of new government roads, over a hole In a mountain stream, and the fish are killed by the concussion. But his fa vorite resource is the bark of the dog wood tree. This he drops Into a river hole, and the mullet Intoxicated, comes to the surface of the water. This singular property of the dogwood has caused It to be employed as a nar cotic. Pearson's. Noted the Symptom. A little girl went for the first time to church with her mother. All went well during the service, but the child grew uneasy during the sermon, which was a long one. The mother tried In every way to keep the little girl quiet but In vain. Finally the child observed that the preacher had a pompous way of in flating his chest and lungs at a new paragraph or head. Just as the mother was assuring the child that the preach er would soon stop, he did for anoth er start and the thed child burst out on her. mother's assurance, "No, he won't; he's swelling up again."
