j. O. Uarwood, OF Linn county, paid
Corvallis visit Monday. He is rather
an eccentric individual, but evidently en-
tertains the warmest regard for reporters
and seems oyerjoyed to be Of service to
them. He is familiar with the remoteet
history of Polk county and OF Oregon in
general; had many thrilling experiences
in crossing the plains; has made several
trips across the continent since; is afraid
of street cars because the Examiner saye
they will leave the track to run over an
old man or q child; thinks Charley
Smith don't look like the Examiners
pictures of car drivers; believes the BIZ
cyles nuisance to those who do not
ride them; formerly minister, and was
q teacher in the log school houses once
common in the state, etc. No apology
was necessary for trespass upon his time;
he wasn't busy and had con.e over es-
pecially to talk to his friends about old
times. Recovering the thread of his dis
course he stated that he used to be ]. Nj.
Brunk's teacher in Polk county; Jimmy
was q good boy then, forly-fye years ago,
but couldn't say about him now; knew
Nesmith and Joe Laae well; 81 years
