the nearest notary or justice of the peace,
who will forward them to the county

Last Friday evening there was most
interesting lecture delivered at the Pres
byterian church by w. S. Gilbert, chap
lain of the late Second Oregon. The
theme of his lecture was the work of the
Oregon boys in the Philippines and de-
scription of that celebrated country.
The church was crowded with eager lis
teners and none were disappointed, the
lecture not only being an entertaining
cne but instructive as well.
At meeting of the commissioners
court last Friday afternoon, settlement
was reached between the county of Benz
ton and the city of Corvallis in the matter
of taxes due the latter. The city had
claimed 500 as her due, and the county
Judge had been instructed by the court to
grant no more than $500. But after
much discussion, in which the city's in
terests were looked after by councilmen
Avery, Hays, Taylor, J, R. Smith and
Gibson, the city accepted $500 as an
equitable amount, with the understand
ing that as taxes were collected on prop
erty bid in by the county at tax sales the
city was to receive her share. Attorneys
J. Ell. Gibson and J. III. Wilson will re-
ceive $3.50 for their services in searching
the records, which leaves $3.50 to be
placed in the city's exchequer.
Among tke many enterprises of this
county which have been revived and
built up during the past year is that of
the Mountain Home Lumber Co. Some
i've years ago the property known as the
Mason & Moore mill, seven miles south
west OF Philomath, felt the blight of hard
times and discontinued operations, re-
idle until about year ago when
under the stimulus of Mckinley pros
perity and energetic management of its |
new owner, Mr.. E. A. Child, it revived
and has been doing it's share of the lum-
Der business. Recently company was
under the name of the Noun
tain Home Lumber Co., and it is their
intention to develop the enterprise into
thriving industry. They have an ele-
CANT tract of magnificent timber. Mr..
Child is president of the company. He
came to Oregon from Wisconsin about a
year ago and is much pleased with his
new home. He is the founder of the
first Christian Endeavor Industrial
school ever organized in this country
and was its president for nine years.
On leaving Wisconsin he appointed his
successor, promising to return in fiye
years, or as soon as the health of himself
and wife had improved, but prospects
are so bright In Webfoot that his return
to Wisconsin is doubtful.
