Additional Loca1

The liberal patronage and large
| number of people who attended the
two-days' sale at Kline's, during
last Friday and Saturday, should
be very encouraging to the proprie-
tor. AS stated in his announce
ment, it is thirty years ago that
| Mr.. Kline went into business in
this city, and during these thirty
years he has established a business
in this city that is second to none
in the state in places of this size.
We hope to attend Mr.. Kline's next
"thirty year" sale.
Friday evening a reception was
rendered Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest F.
Bryant by the w. G. T. U. The
affair was held in the reading rooms
and many things transpired to
make it a memorable event. The
The.rooms were beautifully decorat-
ed with flowers, flags and bunting,
and was brilliantly illuminated by
many lamps. A very social even
ing was passed in which music and
refreshmesnts played a prominent
part. A large number of guests
were in attendance and at the close
of the evening they all declared the
evening was spent most enjoyably.
A letter from DR.. Robert Johnson,
of New York CITY, received Friday
by relatives in Corvallis, states that
the entire republican delegation
from Oregon to the national con-
ton had honored J. B. Walker,
assistant editor of the Scientific
American, with call. Mr.. Walker
was for years a resident of Corvallis
and is in every respect equal to tho
responsible position he fills; the
company being the editor, Mr..
Walker has full charge of all the
details pertaining to one of the
most scientific publications of the
world.
Relatives in this city received
letter yesterday from James 8.
Booth, who went to the gold fields
of Nome. Mr.. Booth took passage
on the steamer San Bias and he
states that when they were nearing
Nome progress was greatly retard-
ed by ice; so great was the blockade
that on one day the boat only pro-
gressed twenty-seven miles. Mr..
Booth at the time he wrote had not
been there long enough to form a
correct idea of what the prospects
are for the future. Mr.. Booth
states that the first person he met
in Nome was John Applewhite who
is there practicing law.

0UR glove stock is the best
~ patronized and most popular
in this vicinity, because we make
a constant effort to show larger
line, and offer better glove values
than any other local dealer. It is
not easy to do satisfactory kid
glove business. It requires long
experience, careful buying, con-
scientious selling. and a wiling
ness to be content with a small
profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.
That's why Corvallis women can
get better gloves here for the
price than elsewhere.

AN ExCITING RUNAWAY.
Miss Bertha Thraseer~ Has Her Leg 2 ok-
en-Two Other Persons Hart,

day, a gentleman by the name of
McKellips drove over from Al
bany accompanied by Miss Ris-
ley. In the afternoon shortly
after 4 o'clock and, just before
they were to start home they
invited Miss Bertha Thrasher. of
this city to accompany them for
a short drive about town. So
the three of them started out and
drove down Main street, and
when they arrived opposite the
brick stable the team, being a
livery rig, were inclined to turn
into the stable. In turning them
from the stable one of the tugs
became unhitched; this let the
tongue of the buggy down. The
horses became unananageable
they reared and plunged and
tried to get away. In very short
order the buggy collided with
the electric light post at the cor
ner of I'D. Mann & co. All
three of the occupants were
thrown out.
People who were eye witnesses
of the affair held their breath, as
they were powerless to assist in
any manner, until the young
people were all thrown out.
Then as the horses broke loose
and ran toward Albany, people
rushed to the assistance of the
victims. Nearly everyone ex-
pected that one if not all them
would be killed. Miss Risley
and Mr.. McKellips were both
able to regain their feet, but Miss
Thrasher was badly injured. Her
agony was so great and every at
tempt to do anything toward
making her comfortable caused
her SO much pain that It was
thought best to have a doctor be-
fore she was removed to her
home. It being Sunday it was
hard to locate a physician and for
some time Miss Thrasher was
obliged to lie on the pavement
where the accident occurred.
This seemed too bad, but no per
son could possibly be blamed for
such state of affairs. DR., Per-
not was first to arrive on the
ground. A cot was procured and
Miss Thrasher conveyed home.
An examination proved that her
right leg was broken in two
places, one break being above
and the other below the knee.
This was a very unfortunate
affair and much sympathy is felt
for Miss Thrasher. Miss Risley
received a very bad blow on the
left side of her head and her
cheek was badly bruised. Mr..
McKellips had his left leg bruis-
ed and strained quite seriously.
His limb was soon black and
blue and he could scarcely walk.
All possible was done for the re-
lief of them all.
A man from Mr.. McMahan's
stable rode a horse after the run
away team and soon over-hauled
and brought it back. They were
none the worse off for their run
away. The buggy was some
what damaged, but a little re-
pairing was all that was required.
The whole sad accident proves
what disaster can follow as the
result of carelessness in the man.
ner in which team is hitched
to the buggy. In this case the
little "nibs" at the ends of the
were simply stuck
through holes in the tugs-the
least side pull might unhitch the
team. Such a coptrivance for
hitching up team almost be-
comes criminal. It is a blessing
that it turned ont no worse, but it
is surely bad enough.

IMPORTANT TRANSACTION.
Fotsy Thousand Acres of Land Sold-Of
Benefit to Benton.

FotSy Thousand Acres of Land So1d-O
Benefit to Benton.
On Saturday last there was
presented at the county record.
er's office in this city, a deed
from Arthur H. Masten, receiver,
of New York, to the Astoria
Company, New Jersey corpora
ton. The Astoria Company is
supposed to be the land company
operating in and about Astoria,
Oregon. This deed conveys
lands in Benton and Lincoln
counties, Oregon, amounting to
about 40, 900 acres, being moun-
tain land, and that land which
has been known in the past as
sHogg Lands" The deed con-
veys the Hogg residence property
Of about twenty acres ad-
joining the college property j.
Corvallis, the Hoag residence
property adjoining Mrs. Lees
residence, and also the ten acres
of lands known as the "depot
property" where the c. & E. de-
pot stands, and through which
the c. & E. Switches run. The
consideration in the deed is one
dollar, and other considerations.
1t bears IS cancelled revenue
stamp. And the deed is made
subject ito taxes, and tax liens
against the property.
tits learned that there are sew
eral thousand dollars taxes,
charged up against the Benton
county part of this property, and
ane one or two outstanding tax
sales for parts of it; also that
the Lincoln county taxes which
had been charged up against the
Lincoln county part of the prop
erty, have been settled on some
compromise basis in the Lincoln
county court. But that the Ben
ton county taxes, and sales are
still unsettled. 1t is further un-
derstood that the intention of the
purchaser of this property is to
have the same settled up with a
class Of people who will go there
and live, and make their homes
there, and clear up the lands and
break the long reign of unpro-
ductiveness which has hitherto
been so great a detriment to the
settlement of that country.
This is a very important move
ment if it be true that this set
tlement be accomplished, for it
will not only increase the popu-
lation, but add much to the pro-.
ductive resources of the two
counties. The settlement of
these lands would undoubtedly
mean the clearing up of a vast
stock and dairy region, the plant
ing of thousands of acres of win
ter apples, in a land where pests
are unknown, the establishment
of creameries, dairies, and mer-
chantile and banking enterprises,
for these are the sure accompani-
ments of the development Of a
new country.
The history of the property
which has just been transferred,
is coextensive with, and much of
it part of the unhappy history
of the Oregon Pacific railroad.
In an early day, sometime in the
seventies, Col. Hogg obtained a
grant of land, some sixty or
seventy thousand acres, for the
building of a military road
the Coast range to va
quina bay. He built the road,
and in due time came patent

nah When the railroad was
started Oh its first construction,

in large slices. It had an uncer-
tain history, mixed up in part

Gen. Alser's Point of View.

We are very sorry 10 find ourselves IN
able to agree with Gen. Russell A. Alger.
former Secretary Of War, for whom we
entertain sincere respect and admiration.
1t is impossible. however, to share his
opinion that Englands friendly attitude
toward the United States in 1888 neces-
sarily commits this country to a support
of and a sympathy with any and every
enterprise, however evil and rapacious,
which England may choose TO take in
hand.
There can be no question as TO the good
will subsisting between the two peoples.
That, in every part of the world. Amer
leans meet Englishmen as kinsmen is q
matter Of course. That we deplore and
mourn any disaster involving English
men Is beyond controversy. But 1t does
not follow that the acts of either govern
ment need command the approval OF
either people. Governments are not like
Northumberland subject TO the same laws
of obligation or the same standards Of
honor and good faith. Neither do tha
government and the governed always
agree as to the policy adopted by the
former. During the civil war the English
people sympathized with the South, but
the English government permitted no ex-
preston of that sympathy During the
Samoan episode the English officers fra
ternized with ours and made common
cause against the Germans, but all that
cid not prevent England from entering
into a subsequent bargain with Germany
which amounted 10 an abandonment OF
the United States. Put not your trust in
guide for all of us.
Supposing there was in Europe a dis
position to combine against the United
states In 1898. we cannot blind ourselves
to the fact that England's attitude was
the result of anything but sentimental
friendship. Germany was the head and
inspiration OF that projected compact and
England pins no faith TO Germany. The
Embarrassment OF the United States could
have brought no possible benefit 10 Eng
land. 4 blockade OF our ports would have
meant starvation in the British islands.
Sentiment and interest went hand in hand
that time. In fact. they always do. OF
course, when Germany found that Eng
| land would at least be passive, she
| promptly abandoned the enterprise. Ger
many is not ready TO beard the United
States. Germany is as prudent as she is
inimical. SO the combination fell But
We do not delude ourselves. Great Britain
/ held sloof merely because the success OF
| the combination would have been her
peril.
But Gen. Alger Is mistaken In supposing
that there is the smallest intention on the
part OF this government 10 interfere.
