the friendly relation* thnt have existed
between him nnd Mr. Hilsby for yenr*.
Despite this statement, nnd there are
sufficient witnesses to prove thnt The
Hentinel correctly quoted Mr. Wallace,
it seems that Mr. Wallace is becoming
more friendly than usual. In fnrt, for
the past week, so Mr. Hilsby informs
The Hentinel, Mr. Wallace has appeared
nt '.he ire plant just before dinner nnd
supper times nnd has insisted on wnlk
ing home with Mr. Hilsby. He does
not stop for meals, however. He merely
remains a few moments and leaves with
out nny explanation.
The only thing
he does to give liny Indication of the
object o f his visit* i* to *ni<T o f the
atmosphere.
To one not a* shrewd n* Mr. Hilsby
such actions might seem peculiar, but
Mr. Hilsby was wise Arst thing.
He
knows Mr. Wallace is sniffing around
for the odor o f canned peaches, which
would be the only evidence he would re
quire to be convinced that hi* missing
peaches hud been carefully put nwuy
for winter.
It was fortunate thnt Mr. Hilsby got
wise so quickly for he had ordered sev­
eral crates of peaches from one of the
stores and if one o f Mr. W allace’s visits
had revealed Mrs. Hilsby in the act of
preparing them for
the cans he
would probably have tried to com
nramleer them, to use a word put into
common use hy the European war. Mr.
Hilsby countermanded the order at once
to prevent any warlike demonstration.

almost continuously.
Manager Hard
says the properties are showing a good
profit.
Last week ten stamp* were put in
operation at the West Coast properties
and it appears that the new manage
ment has laid plans for continuous oper­
ation. Ten more stamps will be started
a* noon as there is sufficient water to
furnish power for the electrie generat­
ing plant at Lundpark. It is under
stood that the third battery of ten
stamps at this property will be moved
back to the Musick mine, from which
they were taken several years ago and
that the air compressor for operating
the drill will also be moved to thi* pro­
perty. Too much force is lost in piping
the air two miles. E. R. Spencer, an
experienced mining engineer, has charge
of the work at these properties. It is
understood that a man from Portland
named Mahan is now the principal
stockholder in the company. He has
been in the district for some time.
J. R. Cheatham, the engineer who has
predicted that a lot o f money would
be spent in developing the Long placer
claim, came out o f the district last week
and stated positively that the owners •
were prepared to let a contract at once
for a road to make the property acces­
sible. It is located in an out-of-the-way
place and is now reached only by a trail.

Prof., with Alfalfa on Face
Mistaken for Russian Count
A good joke has just leaked out on
Prof. R. W. Rose. When he returned
from his outing in the hills a short time
ago he had cultivated a crop of alfalfa
on his fare that would have gladdened
the heart o f a Kansas populist.
He
endeavored to get to n barber shop be­
fore his re-entry into civilization, but
just as he slipped out o f an alley to
make a rush across Main Street he was
accosted by a young woman, who greet­
ed him saying. "W h y , how do you do.
count. ’ ’
Naturally enough the Prof, was non­
plussed for the moment.
“ Y ou ’re mistaken, lady, I ’m not a
count,” he stammered.
” Well, I ’m a stranger here, but I had
heard that Count Loehwitzky, of the
Imperinl Russian Army, was in Cottage
Grove, nnd I thought you must be h e ."
•lust how Mr. Rose succeeded in con
vincing the woman that he was not
what she supposed he was is not known,
hnd he refuses to state whether the ac­
quaintance so accidently made was fol
lowed up. but there may have been a
subtle meaning to his remark a short
time afterwards when one o f the mem
hers o f the outing party that hnd re
turned with him asked what had be­
come o f his whiskers.
“ Oh,” he replied, “ I had an engage­
ment with a German miss, and you see
I had a close shave.”
