WAITING FOR WIRE
Ferry Boat is-Cable Expected Latter
- Part of This Week

4
The Corvallis ferry is still idle.
The boat is moored to the Benton
County side of the river, and the
ferryman is on an enforced vacation.
The non-arriva1 Of the cable is re-
sponsi bic for the condition. The
new rope was ordered from San
Francisco through Huston & Bogue
last week. Up to noon yesterday
no advices had been received with
reference to its Shipment, but it was
expected that the cable would reach
Corvallis the latter part ofthe press
ent week. Until it arrives, the
ferry will not be in operation.
Everything is in readiness to string
the cable across as soon as it comes,
and the question of when operatins
are to be resumed is merely mat
ter of the arrival of the wire.
Local business men benoan the
condition, more or less, as it forces
their customers on the other side of
the river to go elsewhere to do
business. g

A CONTRAST

A spray of ripe raspberries grown
in the open air in Corvallis gard
en-, was on exhibition on the street
Monday. In Boston, the cold is so
intense that street cars are constant
" blockaded, traffic interrupted
and the poor are rioting for the
coal they have not the means to
buy. In portions of New York,
the public schools have been dis
missed on account of the intense
cold and the shortage of coal. On
the raspberry vine mentioned,
there are berries in every stage of
development from the blossom to
the red berries in the richness of
perfect maturity. The bush from
which it was taken in the north
end of town, was covered all over
with the fruitage and blossoms that
are a mighty contrast with the
bowling blasts of the icy East. If
Webfooters sometimes kick at the
rains, it is because they fail to feel
the pinch of the icic1e or the chill
of the cold that now prevails on the
other side of the continent.

THEY WERE SURPRISED
Thirty Ladies Invade Camp Of Mod:
ern Woodmen of America.

ern Woodmen of America,
Saturday evening last was reg
u1ar meeting night. of the Modern
Woodnen of America and there
was considerable business on hand.
Two candidates had been initiated
the regular business transacted, and
the lodge had begun the election
of officers for the ensuing year. At
this stage of the proceedings the
sentry informed the venerable con
sui that something like thirty
ladies were in the ante-room with
out the password, that they desired
to invade the camp for the purpose
of feeding the Woodmen, knowing
that they must needs be hungry at
ter their arduous 1abors in the for
est. Election of officers was i'm
mediately postponed and the meet
ing brought to a close. 1t devel-
oped that the lady relatives and
friends of the Woodmen had
planned to surprise the foresters
with bountifu1 lunch. Tables
were soon gotten together and
spread. The Woodmen's camp
fires had burned quite low, so it
became necessary for the ladies to
hustle down to the Commercial
restaurant to make the coffee. All
members of the order present par
ticipated in the refreshments in
such manner as to leave no
doubt of their appreciation of the
surprise
This is the first meeting of the
Modern Woodmen with the ladies
and it proved so agreeable that it
brought out a discussion of the adj
visibility of establishing a camp of
Royal Neighbors, which is the
women's auxiliary of the Modern
Woodmen's organization. One
Woodman's argument in favor of
the proposed organization was
that heretofore he had not Jared
well at the hands of his neigh
bors;;" that frequently when he
went home from work he would
find that they had not provided
him with all that he could desire
for square meal; but if the re-
past just partaken of was sample
of what s.Roya1 Neighbors" might
do, he was greatly in favor of
encouraging them.
There was merriment and social
converse until late hour. At the
proper time Venerable Consul
Hea1y gave pleasing talk tn which
he cordially thanked the ladies for
their entertainment.

ANOTHER TRADE
Sold His Place but Looking for Another
Eastern Man Bought. {

The ten acre farm and orchard of
G F GarshwiIer, near Philomath,
changed hands Monday. The buy
er is Peter Adamsen, who arrived
about three weeks ago from Iowa.
He is. accompanied by his family,
and has already taken possession.
The figure at which the proper
ty changed hands has not been
made public. It is understood
that Mr. Garshwiler sold the place
at a considerable advance over what
he paid for it year ago, and that
he is well satisfied so far with his
experiment in settling in Webfoot.
He has removed with his family to
Corvallis, and now occupies the
house of Mrs Ruth Clark. He is
looking for another investment in
this vicinity. and will probably try
his hand at another farm. Mr.
Garshwiler came to Benton early
last winter from Indiana. =
The virtue Of spraying was de-
monstrated in the Garshwiler or
chard this season. At small ex-
pense and trifing trouble the trees
were Systematically treated with
spray at the proper season, and the
reward was a fine crop of apples
almost free from worms which sold
readily in the market at fifty cents
per bushe1. Mr. Garshwi1er re-
CARDS Oregon as a grand apple
state.

THE REAL STUFF
It is on Exhibition in Down Town
Show Window. .

: T.. -
How many people in Corvallis
have seen the colo. of Alaska gold
the real, original, uncoined
stuff? Lots of people went to the
northern mines from Benton coun-
ty during the K1ondike excitement
and returned, not with gold mug
gets nor tWenty-do11ar pieces. They
came back with much experience,
few souvenirs, and fund of hard
luck stories, all purchased with
Benton county money There are
a.few Corvallis people still at the
north, and we are permitted to
hope that fortune may yet give
our distant friends token of recog-
milton and encouragement.
There is foundation for the in.
diligence of this prospect in the
news that Mackey, Jefreys, Wag-
goner and Grim are doing well,
and the fact that there are real
Alaska nuggets on exhibition right
here in town. In general, perhaps
Alaska nuggets are not rare, but
such as are On display at the jewel
ry store of A. J. Metzger, are
certainly attractive. They are
the product Of mine on Jack Wade
Greek, in which the owner of the
nuggets, G. +. Rowland is inter
ested. Mr. Rowland has been in
Alaska six years, and is now on
visit to his family who are in
Corvallis taking advantage of the
city's educational facilities. The
nuggets are eight in number, rang
ing in weight from three-quarters
Of an ounce to more than five oun-
ces. The aggregate value Of the
display is $238, assuming the gold
to be worth 5000 per ounce. To
heighten the effect of the display,
Mr. Metzger places nugget in one
dish of the scales and in the other.
sufficient gold coin to balance, thus
giving approximately the value of
the original gold. In one end of the
scales lies a smooth ob1ong nugget
not widely different in size from a
robin s egg, and in the other is a
twenty dollar and two five dollar
pieces. The two ends of the scales
are exactly balanced, neither tip
ping.
The largest nugget is not unlike
some of the old fashioned potatoes
in shape, perhaps like what used to
be known as the kidney potato. IT
is perfectly smooth, save that there
are two or three small Jumps, like
those on potatoes. In length it is
full two inches. Its thickness one
way is an inch and at right angles
to the same meas l1rement, three
quarters of an inch. It is solid, and
its weight is more than FIVE ounces,
or bordering close to ha1f-a pound,
Troy Weight. Its value isa fewl
cents over 500.
All the nuggets came from pock-
cts. Mr. Rowland found them while |
prospecting. He was out one day.
on his claim 200 miles beyond the
K1ondike. He sunk a hole several
feet to bedrock, and all he found
was rs cents in dust. He sank
another but with little better suc-
cess. Then he moved hundred |
feet across the gu1ch, and there
went down again, this time un-
covering a pocket from which he
took $1,000 in dust and nuggets.

WILL BRING PEOPLE
Into Benton-They Must do it A big
Deal That Failed to Materialize

In the expected rush of immi-
grants into Oregon next Spring
Benton and Lincoln Counties will
have an influence working in their
favor that other counties of the
state will not enjoy. It is an in
huence that is quite likely to turn a
large number Of homeseekers into
one county or the. other. This
influence is the effort that the
Oregon Pacific Colonization Com
pany, of Minneapolis will make to
dispose of its lands.
The Company it will be remem-
bered purchased the extensive
holdings of the Coast, Land &
Livestock Company, the lands of
Oregon Agricultural Company, and
the Wallis Nash ranch on Rock
Creek, aggregating it all, something
over $4,000 acres. The company
invested large sum of money in
the lands. Some say the amount
was $50, 900 or more. The pur-
chase was made as matter of
specu1 alton, and the lands must be
sold in order for the investors to
clear themselves. Nearly one half
the lands lie in Benton County. The
purchasers are shrewd real estate
men and other investors, and al
ready they have agents in some of
the states in the middle west, ad-
vertising the lands. ''=e5s
OF course the lands are uncu1ti-
vated, but that will cut small
figure with intending buyers, many
of whom will come = to Benton or
Lincoln looking for uncu1tivated
properties, and in the end as has
several times been the case during
the past summer wind up the visit
with a purchase of improved farms.
The Oregon-Pacifc Company
holds its lands at IS per acre. I
Negotiations pended recentlyJin
which the company was about to:
dispose of. five sections in Benton
County at that figure There were
two Of the buyers, and at one. time /
they made the company an offer of T
s.. so per acre for the Eve sections.
The latter lie in the vicinity of
what IS known as Shotpouch. It
was expected TOR a time that there !
would be compromise on the price
and that the big deal would mater!
alize, but an injury lbefel1 one ofthe
buyers, and the negotiation was
abandoned. It is very certain,
however that the Oregon Pacific
Company will induce many a home
seeker to visit Benton, and that
there is every Likelihood of lively
times in real estate in the county
next spring and summer. It is re-
ported that Wallis Nash is really in
in the interest of the
oregon-Pacifc Company. p,
