from Corvallis, and between the
hours of 2:3O and 5 a. m. Tuesday
morning several carriage loads of
Corvallisites had taken their de-
parture for Eugene: Members of
the Damon and Pythias combina-
tion were intending all along to
make the trip by rail, but at late
hour Monday evening it was
learned that the strikers had taken
possession of the company's yards
and that no trains would leave
Portland. southbound, the follow
ing morning. At this late hour all
the livery teams had been engaged
and it was with great difficulty
that two conyeyances were at last
secured. One of them was a
spring wagon with three seats and
both rigs were uncovered. The
weather was very warm during
the morning and the roads dusty,
which had the effect of greatly
increasing the tediousness of the
forty mile drive. On arriving at
Eugene the players presented
most woeful appearance, and their
arrival no doubt called TO mind
many recollections of ''barn
stormers" in the early days.
That evening the play was pro-
duced before a large and appre-
eiative audience, and in its pre-
sentation the players in several
scenes eclipsed all former efforts.
The open air co.:cert given Tues
day evening and the music fur
mshed the next day by the Ma
rine band cf this city, was really
the feature of the exercises. The
were received at Eugene by Clay
Humphrey and during their stay
were accorded every courtesy pos
sible, even to a feast of mountain
trout provided by Mr. Humphrey.
All visitors from this city were
treated royalty by the people of
Eugene and their efforts were
thoroughly appreciated.

Thirty Years in Office.

Last Thursday when County
Clerk B. w. Wilson turned over
his desk to his successor in office,
Ira M. Hunter, a bit of Benton
county history was recalled to
the memory of those who have
been residents of Benton county
for the past thirty years; for just
thirty years ago Mr.. Wilson was
elected to the Office of county
clerk. Previous to his admins
tration Benton county had but
five clerks. The first was Will
liam Knots. Then followed A..
G. Hovey, William Biddle, II.
H. B. Odeneal and E. L. Per-
ham. Mr.. Wilson served as
deputy under Mr.. Perham for
two years and in June, 1864, was
elected to the office which he has
filled continuously ever since.
There is not another officer in
Oregon whose term of office has
exceeded this, and it is probable
that there is not clerk in the
United States whose official term
has exceeded thirty years. Joel
Ware was clerk of Lane county
for eighteen or twenty years and
his record approaches nearest
that of Mr.. Wilson.
Bush Wilson was born in Co.
1unbia, Maine, OH the 18th of
July, 1924, where he lived TN
til 4 years of age. His family
then moved to New Brunswick,
N. J. When about ten years old
he moved to New York where
he served as Office boy for a COM
pany of which Cornelius Wander
bilt was then president. After
living in New York for about
ten years he went to Illinois and
later went to sea. Eight years
of his life was spent on the sea
and until October, 1850, when
he came to Oregon.
In politics Mr.. Wilson has
been "a republican from the
turn loose" But his popularity
has gained for him many votes
from the democratic ranks. As
an official he has been exceeding
ly kind and obliging and many
who have depended on Bush to
transact their business and ex-
anime records for them will
sadly miss him from the court
house. His long service has
given him a general knowledge
of all the land in the county
that no one could acquire with
less than thirty years association
with the records. He has been
careful and painstaking and it
may be said without fear of COIL
tradiction that in no office of the
state have the records and fles.of
the county been better and more
Systematically kept than in Ben
ON county. He has always been
particular to do everything legal
y and just as it should be. The
result is that the systems in
in the routine of the
oflce work have been carried
1own regularly from the begin
ming until on the darkest of
Nights and without light either.
Mr.. Wilson Or his deputies could
ay their hands on any paper
lied in the office.
For more than year past Mr..
Wilson's health has been very
Door and by the advice of his
physician has spent but little of
his time in the office. He is
spending the summer on his
,anch near Yaquina City where
le hopes to regain his strength.

A RECEPTIVE MIND.
The Wonderful Memory of Noted French
Author.

Author.
Theophiie Gautier, the French
author, was gifted with an extraordi-
nary memory. Whatever he had
heard or seen remained engraved upon
his mind.
On the day on which the two first
volumes of HugO's ''Legende des ST.
ecles' were published, the author
dined in Gautier's company at the
house OF another friend. There We're
several literary men present. all allied
more or less closely to the tribe Of ro-
manticists, admirers of Victor Hugo,
and counting upon finding a feast OF
good things in his new work.
In the course of the talk Gautier re-
marked: Let us prove what we ad-
vance. | will recite Les Lions to YOU"
And in 2 clear voice, his eyes gazing
steadfastly as though he were reading
from afar a book visible TO himself
alone, he recited the whole piece, not
repeating himself once, never hesitat-
ing, and not nistaking a single syl-
liable.
Yet he had read 1t that morning for
the first time.
Many times his friends, doubtful
upon some point of history, language,
geography, anatomy or art, referred
the matter to him, and received i'm
mediate satisfaction. They used to say
then: we have only to turn over the
leaves of Thee"
