A.n insignificant incident, you siy? Truly; but a straw shows which way the wind blows. Trifling as may seem the matter it yet meats much to Corvallis in growth and prosperity, much to the merchants who have cast thir lot in our city and whose trade is thus interfered with by the mail order houses of the far Est. It means, in short, that Cor vallis and Benton county people, some of them, send their money away from home for goods that they could and should buy of their local merchants. They can secure just as good articles at just as reasonable prices, freight rates counted, if they will buy in the same quantities at home and go to their merchants and make their wants known. It means that money is sent awav and taken out of the com munity forever that would, if kept at home, add to the materi al prosperity of the county and help to build up home establish ments that have a right to expect patronage. Many a person saves up cash and sends Hast to mail order houses for goods while their home merchants wait on them fur weeks, months and it may be years tor the payment of bills due him for goods he has sold them in the past.

Almost a week' of the one month of the open season for elk has passed and not a sign of slaughtered game has been re ceived in Corvallis from any of the numer us. Corvallis hunters who are afield. It' is not feared that any of the sports will be fin ed for killing more than the num ber allowed bv law. As is generally known this is the first year since 1902 that it has been lawful to kill elk in the state of Oregon, for at that time the legislature passed , au act which prohibited the shooting of elk with in the borders ot the state of Oregon and provided that the act should hold good for five years. It also provided that at the end of five years it would be permissable to kill one elk be tween the 15th of September and the 15th ot October. Any hunt er who shall kill more- than one elk is liable to a fine of trom $100 to S5000, and strict watch is to be kept by the rame warden station ed in" various portions of the state. 4 ' . During the time that the ani mals have been protected from slaughter they are said to have increased in number to a wonder ful extent and by limiting each hunter to one animal during the open season it is believed that they will not be thinned out to any great extent.

Now I'll admit some tales I've told have seemed a little strop g. An' folks have sometimes thought per haps the w tight san' measures wrong, But I have got a story here that's abso lutely true, An' I could prove it if I had the fish to show to ou. One day I went 'way np the crick to reach the other side, A n' where I stopped to git acrost warn' t more than eight feet wide; T here wan.'t no bridge or boat in sight, bat bv an' by I found A log which went from shore to shore. nigh thirty inches 'round.
