The Crystal Lake Cemetery.

Recorder Gellatly has just finished
up an excellent bit of work, in his Gene
terry Plat records. The Plat of Crystal
lake Cemetery has been filed, and on
| inspection this proves to contain some
valuable information, which concerns
many of the people of Corvallis. The
ground for this cemetery was decided by
~. c. Alexander, on Jan. 80, 1860, to
the Masonic Lodge, and laid out into a
cemetery, and plated, but the plat was
never recorded until recently. The Lodge
places the affairs of the cemetery in a
committee, who attends to everything
| connected with it. AS some uncertainty
came to exist after long years, and some
deeds were found to contain wrong de-
scriptions, the present cemetery COM
mtttee went to the grave stones and such
sources of information as were available,
and prepared the plat which contains,
besides the diagram of the cemetery and
the necessary requisites imposed by
statute, the names OF the owners OF
every lot which has been sold or which
is occupied in the whole cemetery, and
hence the record of it shows the owner
ship of each lot, which will prevent any
confusion as to who owns this or that
lot at any time in the future. From the
committee a UNION reporter learned that
there are 1858 graves in that cemetery at
the present time, and brief history OF
each person buried there is in progress
of compilation which when completed
will be of great value in preserving their
identity. A great deal might be said
about the value OF every cemetery having
such a history, but space prevents. 1t
is gratifying however to know that this
cemetery keeps sach a record, and OF
those who are buried there a sufficient
history is always accessible to any one
desiring information of them.

Live Stock.

Last week Louis Burk drove o75 head
of cattle from Corvallis to Portland anc
payed out in this county $500. On the
way he bought enough more to make I6
car loads; which with car loads oi
sheep made train of FL cars of stock
sent from Portland to Nebraska to be
wintered and then shipped back to us
In the summer as dressed beef and
mutton
Mr.. Castle is now on the way to
Portland driving rs sheep which were
also purchased in this county and cash
paid for them The casual observer in
Benton county would hardly believe
that there was that number of cattle and
sheep in the county, and yet dealer
here who knows says that he conld load
another train with cattle from Benton
county in days; the truth is we do not
know how rich we are.
Why all this stock can be driven to
Portland from here, all the way along
the line of railroad and driven cheaper
than the road will haul them is a
question that concerns the business man,
agement of the railroad, but it looks as
if there was something wrong about
freight charges from here. 20 car loads
of stock have been driven over the road
to Portland from here in the last s days,
and the cost of driving and feeding is
over 25 per cent less than by train.

JAPAN MAILS CRITICISM,
says Okuma's Enunciation Will
be Quietly Received.

be Quietly Received.
The Japan Mail, commenting on
Count Okuma's article on Japanese ex-
pansion and the future of the country,
says:
In the last number OF the Far East
there appeared an essay from the pen
of Count Okuma Briefly speaking. its
purpose was TO combat the idea that
Japan is living beyond her means, and
that her resources are overtaxed by
the large undertakings upon which
she has launched in the sequel of the
war with China. Count Okuma admits
that victory came to her more easily
than was, perhaps, altogether whole
some, and that it created an industrial
and commercial stimulus stronger than
the circumstances actually warranted
but he is persuaded that the situation
contains no really disquieting ele-
ments. and that the country's future
may be regarded with hope and conf
dence.
Count Okuma further declares that
Japan has no desire to expand her ter
ritory. We are somewhat surprised to
observe that the Counts views on that
point are regarded by the Kobe Chron-
icle as likely to displease the 'strong
foreign-policy" party, whose leaders.
according to that journal, look forward
to the extension of Japan's territorial
limits, and whose nominee Count Oku-
ma is supposed to be. We ourselves
have never understood that territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT is a plank in the plat
form Of the advocates of a strong for
eign policy. The two fields in which
the activity of those politicians has al
ways manifested itself are Korea and
treaty revision. AS TO Korea, they
have persistently held that japan
ought to make the independence of the
peninsula a paramount object. and
should shrink from no danger involved
in the pursuit of that aim. As to treaty
revision, they used to insist that for
eigners should be granted no privi-
leges other than those actually secured
TO them by the text of the existing
treaties, and that if Japan's reason
able proposals, urged with due pa
thence and courtesy, failed to commend
themselves TO foreign States. she
should not shrink from denouncing the
old treaties. But territorial aggran-
dizement has never, so far as we

together, and which opens forward.
The front ends of these arms are pro-
vided with hooks, shaped to fit over
the teeth of the sprocket wheel. The
angle is just great enough TO prevent
both its upper and lower hooks on the
same side touching the sprocket at the
same time, and yet small enough TO
insure one taking hold soon after the
other lets go. Viewed from one side,
the movement of each hook relatively
TO the whole machine) is in a small
ellipse, whose greatest length fore
and aft is about two inches. In other
words, the up-and-down motion is not
quite as great as the forward-and-back
motion.
Now, what actually happens when
the machine is on the road is this: The
upper hook on tie left side comes
down over a tooth on the upper edge
of the sprocket with which it does
business, and is pulled forward about
One-twelfth of revolution. The upper
right hook engages a tooth on its own
side just as the upper left hook lets go,
and is pulled forward another twelfth
Of a revolution. By this time a tooth
on the left hand sproeket is just in the
proper place to be caught by the lower
left hook, which is thrust backward
another twelfth. The lower right hook
behaves in the same way, and COM
pletes one-third of the revolution. The
same series of operations is gone
through with over and over again,
three complete revolutions of the driv-
ing-wheel being produced by one of the
pedals.
To reveal the arrangement more dis
tinctly, only one sprocket-wheel and
connecting rod are shown in the dia-
gram. Each connecting rod is hung
from the frame of the bicycle by a
twelve-inch rod.
