near Veronica, Oregon, April 21,
1900. Mr.. Holbrook it will be re-
membered was for some time in the

The Benton County FIGURING
Mills Co., have let the contract Of
improving and increasing the
capacity of their mill to Morgan,
Nordyke & Co. The capacity of
the mill will be increased from ITO
to IT'S barrels of flour per day.

The last legislature authorized
Gov. Geer to appoint six individuals
to represent Oregon at the Paris
exposition, but as the state does not
pay the smallest item of the ex.
pense it is not thought probable
that any of those appointed will
attend. 1t seems like presuming
on great individual interest to ex-
pect man appointed to represent
his state in anything, to do it en-
tirely at his own expense.
The members of tn, Catholic
church gave delightful party to
the confirmation class at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Greffoz Monday ev

The series of views were from the
Life of Christ as Interpreted and
portrayed by the famous painters
of all ages. Refreshments con-
cluded the festivities of the evening.

It rained one day and not only

guarantee that she would sit. She
now refuses to do so.
Elsewhere in these columns will |
be found notice to bicycle riders.
The notice sets forth the action of
the county court in the matter and
what steps the sheriff will take to
collect the tax. In case any per-
sons refuse to pay the tax there is
sure to be q test case made of the
matter, as the sheriff's actions are
defined for him by the court. How
ever, the sooner the tax is paid the
better so far as path construction is
concerned, as it takes money to
build paths.
The Corvallis sawmill has just
completed all order for 10000 feet
of fencing lumber for G. B. King.
Mr.. King is having mile of nova
BILE fence constructed and AL Kemp
is doing the work. The plan of
building fence that can be used to
enclose any portion ofthe>farm that
is desired, and moving to another
point when the pasturage becomes
poor, is becoming quite popular and
Mr.. King is light in the van when
mprovements are being considered.
