stories.
Some days ago an old.timer,
from Polk county, grew remi.

good style, with all attention to
circumstance and detail with a
tale that finally turned toward
eggs. He recited the condition,
some years ago, of the old mar
row-gauge which ran between
Airlie, Polk couaty, and Port
land. How the track was un-
ballasted and it took two full
days to make the round trip.
Sometimes the cars were derailed
and hours we're lost jack-screw-

was jolly good fellow and his
name was 'Jack --." If
hunting was good he might stop
his train anywhere and marshall
his crew for a few hours bird

There were no stations or

and all one had to do was
to wave his hat when they were

to get aboard. Jack was known
to everybody, and would take a
dozen eggs or a roll of butter to
market for any good farm wife
and bring back whatever she de-
sired in lieu of the produce. He
was always equal to the trust i'm.
posed in him, although he was
obliged to procure everything
from a paper of pins to a spring
hat, or a wedding dress. At one
place the road ran between the
farm house and the barn of a very
respectable lady whose place was
situated between Dallas and Air

good lady "fagged' the "ac-

a basket Of eggs, remarking that

Three Questions.

Before purchasing a piano or organ
there are few questions it is well to
consider. First: Is the instrument made
to use Or simply to sell? Second: Is
the the tone, action and finish first class?
Third: Is the price reasonable? Cheap
instruments are expensive at any price.
Why? Because they never give ,satis-
faction, being constructed OF the cheap
est material hastily thrown together.
To secure the value of your money there
is one certain way. Buy an instrument
which has not only an established repu-
tation for years. but which has kept up
with every improvement of medern
times. If you then would like such an
instrument with tone, action and fin-
ish unsurpassed, have them, and can
furnish you any at the lowest price.

An Historical Hunt.

Jesse Spencer is a great hane
at saving all sorts of letters,
notices, documents, programs,
and goodness knows what not,
that have any bearing On the de-
lngs of the people of this com.
munity. The other day, while
rummaging through his effects, he
unearthcd a document that is
quite ancient and will prove of
interest to those who participated
In the hunting matches last win
ter, and also to the old-timers.
The document in question was
an agreement between T. J.
Buford and R. J. Hudson, cap
talns of two hunting parties,
signed by all members conpos-
Ing the centesting teams. 1t is
quite an imposing and legal aps
pearing paper and was drawn IN
December, 1878, by Judge w.
S. McFadden. A section reads
as follows:
"We and each of US, hereby
certify on honor as gentlemen,
with the same solemnity as if
respectively under oath, that
each point, or all points have
been killed by me or members of
nay hunting side between the
hours of I o'clock a. m. and 8
o'clock p. m. Of the goth day of
December, 1878; that ne points
have been obtained from any
parties other than members OF
my own hunting side"
Captain T ] Buford was backed
by the following men: A L
Young, Zeph Job, E Wrenn, E
H Taylor, Frank Rayburn, John
Huffman, N Baesen, w AL
brecht, w T Huffman, John Col
mer, Geo Biddle, L Wilson, Eli
King and TJ Creighton. RI
Hudson placed his chances of
victory in the hands Of Billy Ba-
ker, ] Lufer, John Rock, Mark
Bailey, Rube Kiger, Abe Kiger,
John Baker. J S Palmer, W S
MeFaddeH, DR.. Green, Jesse
Brown, Ed Thayer, George
Emrick, E Kerslinger and Rebt
Irvine.
The score was, Buford's team,
2,15S points, against 1905 Of
Hudson's sportsmen. 1t is wor-
thy of note that Judge McFad-
deem had Nick Beasen as a op-
ponent and that Nick "skun"
him 20 points. (''Mac" may
not like public mention made of
this fact. Many of the men
who participated in this grand
hunt of more than twenty-five
years ago are unknown to the
majority Of Corvallis residents of
today, while some have passed
to the great unknown. T ]
Buford, the victorious captain,
is agent at the Siletz Indian Res
ervatiou. R. J. Hudson, died
in this city many years ago.
Nick Baesen and Thayer are
both in Alaska. VISA. Baker,
of Eastern Oregon, was in Cor
wallis last winter when death

pants are still residents Of this
city and county, while others
have gone forth into the great
