were stopped only by coming in COL
lision with telegraph pole in front of
J. M. Nolan's store E Berlln's
horse also got an idea into his head
that he wanted to exercise his muscles
little and struck out down Water

either case. In the afternoon the run
Always resulted more seriously. While
John and Dick keiger were unloading
wood near the 0. P. depot their team

MARIAN HARLAND'S OPINION.

Our readers are familiar with the writings
of Marian Harland, but also with her sound
common sense upon matters of every day
life and action. Her name. indeed, is a
household word, and is equally well known
in parlor and kitchen. Her celebrated cook
book, Common Sense in the Household. 1"
is without peer and shows tnat she has
made careful! study of how to prepare good,
wholesome food, in the best manner by the
best materials. In this issue We produce a
fac-simile letter from Marion Harland that
speaks from her experience in the highest
terms of the unequaIed qualities of the Roy
al Baking Powder. Housewives every
where should read the opinion of such an ex-
pert and act accordingly. All good cooks,
who have used the Royal, are OF the same
opinion also.

A WooLEN MILL--Another pro-
position is soon to be presented to the
citizens of Corvallis for the purpose of
establishing woolen mill at this point
The parties, who are i'll the east, ask
that subsidy of $500 be raised
which shall be paid to them after tie
mill has been in operation for thirty
days to the satisfaction of our citizens.
The outfit represents value of several
thousand dollars and the machinery
is all new and of the best and most
approved style. 1t is ouf belief that
the subsidy will be raised without the
least difficulty, as the scheme is GER
tainly the best that has yet been offered
to our citizens. The acceptance of the
proposition means the addition of
between thirty and fifty families to
our population, as the skilled help will
have to be brought from the east. A
scheme for the erection and operation
of furniture factory is also under
consideration with a good chance for
success.
