DrvERsiFIEp FARMING. The prosper
Gus farmer In Oregon In the future will be
the one who dlversiiies his style of farm
Ing, aud instead OF relying on wheat alone
brings TO mar&e. nearly everything like
the one mentioned by the Corvallis Times,
| whose daughter by the way, Is q resident
Of Albany; "Andrew Gelatly Is one OF
the prosperous and wel-to-do farmers OF
Benton county. But unlike many OF our
granger friends nc seldom comes TO town
without a load of something to sell. An
drew doesnt consider that his hauling is
done for n year when his fall crop OF wheat
| Is In the warehouse, but manages TO have
a load of marketable produce the year
| arouni. Last Saturday was no exception
to his semi weekly visits aud he brought
Ia 40 bushels oi oniors aud 20 bushels Of
| apples, The former he sold for $l, so per
hushel and the latter for 6S ceois, aggre-
gazing for the load just S4S. IL others
| would follow his ideas OF farming our
country would bloom like aIose.'

perieneed peculiar burning sensation all

SoME SENSE iS Ir.-"Last Saturday
the bids for constructing new county
jail,o cost about $4,000 we've opened by /
the County Judge and |ommissioners, says /
the Eugene Register. The intention was
TO let the contract 10 the lowest responsible |
bidder and 90 on with the work. |. y
Roncy was The loves, bidder for lhe stone |
and wood work and ] II Van DJrg, OF
Cleveland, Ohio, for the iron work. The |
county court rejected all bids because of /
threatened injunction IN case work was
commenced. Among those who appeared /
before the coaEt and argued against carry.
Ing out the plans were some of Our prom
incut and influential citizens, the principal |
argument brirg that tho county ought 10 |
buy up the floatit bonds before going 10 |
ihrthcr expense, and that no jail should be
built until a court house J. built, aud then |
10 comhind the two There was some
sense In tha,,but not Ia paying 81 asa Tor
the plans before knowing what was wanted.
HARRisBURG. The Harrisburg Lumber |
Go. have hall million feet oil logs that |
reached their mill this week. They are
getting out q great deal Of extra fine lum-
ber this season.
Mrs Smith, mother oi our popular |
druggist, Damon smith, sold u fine farm /
to Martin last week. The property is |
situated about six miles west Of town.
The Harrisburg Lumber Co. have rca-
sons to complain, for they cannot procure |
half the cars they need 10 fill their orders, |
and have already lost the sale Of several |
thousand feet OF lumber for that reason. |
To say the least IL is very inconvenient. |

MINING EXCITEMENT. EARLY In the |
6o's there was big mining excitement
up in the Santiam country says the Salem |
Statesman. On Nov g, 1900, there were |
numerous filings in the North Santiam |
district. The first claim filed was that OF |
Henry { Small. On the same day claims |
were filed by Isham Burnett and Charles |
w Scriber. During the same month |
claims up there were located By Robert
McAlpin, Dr. w Savage, Elijah Smith, |
Milton Fitzgerald. T. l. Smith, Matthew
Small, Joseph II Cleary. Geo Riches and
Warren CransLon. In this county also
quite a number of claims were filed about
then; but until now little work was ever
dcne.
RATHER FUNNY.-Last Saturday the
West Side passenger train had TO return
from Independence, through some mis-
understanding. q Warren, wife, two
sons and daughter in law, CT Astoria, had
arranged with the officials in Portland to
come up or the East Side 10 Albany, cross
over on the o Z and take the West Side
for Portland, In order 10 view the William
cite valley. When they arrived here the
train had gore, but on ielcgraphing til
facts TO Portland, the train was ordered 10
return for them = Corvallis Times.

SENn-OccAsIoNALLY. - Trains on the
Narrow Gauge now run most any time,
in fact mioccassonally. One man who
went to Brownsville waited eight hours
at the junction. No pretense is made to
running by schedule time. Any time
during the day, or next day, is the Or
der. As the road is being changed to a
standard gauge there is little excuse
for the business. We mention it simply
to warn people going to points on that
line to look little out until the gauge is
broadened. Then there will be new
program.
A RoAD CAsE.-For some time Mr.
Frank Wood, Of thif city has been trying
to get a county road to his quarry across
the river; but owing to difference Of
opinion about Its location 1t has been fought
and defeated every time. The Leader
says: The road case which has been be-
fore the county several times, and was
again tried last week, met with another
defeat for the petitioners. On examina-
