est men in Corvallis lately. He has been

ship chickens to Cape Nome. He calcu-

John Scrafford is expecting to secure
papers from Washington at any date
now granting him a patent on gate of
his creation. The gate is sort of troll
ley and gravity combination and is quite
simple. John is quite enthusiastic, and
it seems from the appearance and work
ings of the sample gate he has construct
ed in the street near his residence, that
he has cause for elation. We may have
all Edison in John; in all seriousness

The latest talk in railroad CIRCLES is
that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
will make transcontinental connection
with the new Columbia Southern Rail
road at Ontario, that road having filed
corporation papers extending its liue
from Shaniko to Burns, Canyon City,
Prairie City to Ontario, certainly very
zigzag line. Ontario is directly east of
Albany, and if the road suggested is
built, going through Prineville, the real
transcontinental line will be from Prime
vile directly west by way of the Cor
Wallis & Eastern to Albany.
A large audience assembled at the
opera house last Friday evening to listen
to the address by Dennis H. Stovall OH
'Liberty, Equality, Paternity" The
handling Of the subject was original, and
the speaker commanded the closest at
tention of the audience. He held that
religion was not mans duty to God, but
mans duty to man. The highest form of
civilization was where this principle was
most thoroughly recognized, and frater-
NAL societies were the great means to
this end. All fraternal societies were
good and tended to the betterment OF
mankind, but the speaker believed that
the knights of the Maccabees was the
best of all. The address was introduced
by piano solo by Mrsa L.Y. Wilson,
and vocal solo by Frof CHM, each of
which was well received
