formation MIR. Johnson has, it is not
known the amount secured by the burg
lars, but it is thought they were not we'll
paid for their trouble. In her note to
the Corvallis office, Mrs. Ella Catherine,
the Monroe postmistress, states that only
small amount of change was taken,
and as to whether any stamps or other
valuables were secured is a matter of
conjecture.
Will Holgate departed for Baker City
last Saturday, where he will engage in
business He is cabinet maker by
trade and is all excellent workman.
Should he follow that business, he is
bility that recently developed case of
gold fever will divert his attention to
mining, he having already located lin
his rnind) very rich placer claim close
to Baker City. Mr.. Holgate was pre-
ceded by his wife and children several
weeks ago.

term of school last Saturday in district
No. 90. The closing exercises occurred
in the evening and were largely attended,
many persons from adjoining districts be-
ing present, while Corvallis helped to
swell the throng until the capacity of the
building was taxed to its utmost. The
program consisted of music and recita-
tons by the pupils and short addresses
by visitors, among the latter being Sup
erintendent-E Elect Denman, who taught
the first term of school after the district
was organized.
One of the most interesting depart
ments about the college is that Of draw
ing, presided over by Prof E. F. Pernot.
During commencement week Prof. Per-
not's room was constantly crowded with
visitors, and many were the fattering
comments passed upon the large exhibit
of free hand drawings which adorned the
walls. All the specimens were the result
of the handiwork of irst-year students.
and in many instances tthe drawings evi-
denced artistic talent of rare order. The
entire exhibit is a credit to the institu-
ton, and Prof Pernot is to be congratu-
lated for the advancement made by the
pupils under his instruction.
Assell's oyster, salad and fish dressing
is condiment manufactured in Corval-
lis by that veteran connoiseur in admin
istering to the appetite of humanity,
Adam ASSET. It is highly priced in the
local market, and of late it has found its
way to the tables of the best hotels,
restaurants and private families of San
Francisco and Portland. Through the
recommendations of travelling men Mr..
ASSET few days ago received quite an
extensive order from Butte, Montana. 1t
is gratifying to note that this product of
home industry is acquiring much deserv-
ed popularity.
A pretty wedding was celebrated at
the Christian church Of this city last
Thursday morning, the contracting par
ties being Rev. Frank Abram Powell,
who for several years has been pastor of
the church in which the ceremony was
performed, and Miss Winnie Avery, the
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Geo. Avery,
and who the day previous graduated with
honors at the o. A c. Following the
ceremony the wedding party repaired to
the residence of the brides mother where
a sumputous breakfast was served, and at
II o'clock the happy couple left on the
train for brief wedding tour. The best
wishes of many friends go with them.
J. r. Markley, the well-known demo-
cratic politician, returned last week from
Montana on a brief visit to his family,
He will probably remain until the first of
next week. Mr.. Markley has been
spending the winter in Butte, where he
says business is lively and every one ap-
pears prosperous. In and around
Butte. the principal industry is that of
mining, which furnishes employment to
vast army of men at good wages.
Since leaving here year ago Mr..
Markley has become considerable of a
football crank, having at this time IN his
employ three members of the Butte foot
ball team, among whom are Benson,
who coached Eugene last year, and
Lasswell, formerly with the Multno-
nahs. The team has been playing for
several months and intend keeping in
training until fall, when they will again
meet the Reliance Club, which they ex-
pect to defeat Mr.. Markley says they
have strengthened the Butte team very
materially since last season, and with
the splendid coaching they are receiv-
ing, there is every reason to believe that
the coast championship for 1895 will go
to the Butte team.
An important Corvallis industry which
is given little thought, is the manufac-
ture of brick and tiling At present
Messrs. Wilson & Corbett have. employ
ed at their yard south of town. ten or a
dozen men who are receiving fair conf
