SHOT A BEAR
Within Mile and Half Of Corvallis
James Hays the Man.

James Hayes killed a bear the
other day. The remarkable part of
the incident is the animal was shot
within a mile and a half of Corva1-
lis. It is a long time now since
bears ventured so near the steep1es,
school houses and steam whistles of
this town. the site of which was
formerly theirs and the Red Man S
favorite resort.
Unfortunately for the rest of the
story, it was a pet bear that Mr.
Hayes slew. It belonged to Sam
uel Bane, and was SO pestiferous
and voracious that it became a nui-
sance, and his death had to be
planned.
A big chain around his neck held
Bruin safely to an oak tree while
the killing was in progress. There
seems some doubt as to who did
the shooting. Jimmy claims the
honor, but there is a suspicion that
he lacked nerve and that his better
half fired the fatal shot.

The King of the Opium Ring.

The big Blayney attraction
'The King of the Opium Ring
that comes to us for one night,
Saturday, September 18th, is said
to be B1ayney's best spectacular
melodrama. It is full of startling
climaxes, romantic adventures and
thrilling situations and shows the
operations of great band of opium
smugglers who at the time of the
play, hold full sway in San Fran
cisco. To give the play the pro-
per setting, Manager Haswel1 has
had numerous special scenes paint
ed, mechanical effects constructed
and costumes purchased so that
the whole production is finished
throughout from first to last act.
Despite the fact that the manage
ment is under considerable expense
for a production of this kind there
will be no advance in prices. Seats
are now on sale at the usual place.

FIRE DID IT
Destroyed Logs Cut for the Carriage
Factory-A Man and His
.-.. S1aShing. -.-

Word was received by phone at
the Carriage Factory Thursday, of
the destruction of large amount
of timber contracted for by the
company in the Cascades. The
spot is four miles this side Of Mills
City. The factory had purchased
there large amount of hemlock
logs. The latter had been cut and
peeled by contractors for the H II
Haines tannery at Eugene. The
logs were to have been shipped to
Corvallis for use in the factory.
Much of the tan bark had been
ricked up in the woods near, and
was to have been shipped to the
Eugene tannery.
Fire broke out through the act OF
a man who fired a s1ashing, and it
spread until the hemlock woods be-
lcame involved. The word to Mr.
Cramer was to the effect that the
fire might possibly destroy all of
the million feet of logs together
with the tan bark. -..-
The cramers had been operating
in the woods about a week, and
had moved about IS, 900 feet of logs
to the railroad, where they are safe
The six teams occupied in the work
have been ordered back to Corva1-
lis. The factory now expects to
get logs at Summit, Benton county,
if the timber there does not get
burned up by prevailing forest
fires.

FOUR NEW LATERALS
Two Ordered and Two Pending in the
Corvallis City Council.

| IVA ~-1AS Wy OooAASAA'
A sewer is to be constructed
through Hotel Corvallis block. The
only petitioner was F P Sheasgreen.
The petition was presented month
ago, and was referred to the sewer
committee. Last Monday night
the committee returned the report
without recommendation, and re-
ferred the council to an ordinance
which says that when property
owner resides within 100 feet of a
sewer main he shall, when requir-
| ed, build 1aterals at his own ex-
pense. After hearing both sides of
the case, the council voted unan-
imous1y in ordering the sewer con-
structed.
Petitions for two sewer 1atera1s are
pending in the council. One is
for two block sewer through the
DR. Rowley block and is signed by
DIR Row1ey, Mrs Sarah Moore and
J w Ingle, representing six out of
the "a lots involved. The other is
for one block extension to the
George Lilly lateral, and is signed
by James Hays, representing three
lots. Both petitions were referred
to the sewer committee for exam
ination and report.
On a petition representing all the
property, lateral was authorized
through the Skelton- McFa dden
block.

DEATH OF MISS sUcHER.
Last Days Were Peaceful, as Noted
BY Her letters.

Mr.. Geo. N. Raymond is in receipt
of letter from Chicago announcing
the death of Miss Marian Bucher.
Miss Bucher left Durango the 10Th
Of November for Chicago, and up to
the announcement of her death in
dications and her letters pointed to
the recovery of health. AT any rate,
her last days were peaceful and with
out pain. and she was greatly pleas
ed with her new surroundings. A
week prior to her death she spent 10
days with Mrs. Frank West, formerly
of Durango. at Zion City. Miss
Bucher spent between two and three
years in Duran % and Far mington and
was great sufferer. Many people
in Durango. and especially those con-
nected with the schools, having come
here to teach when her voice gave
way, and also at Pennington, will be
interested in the following letters,
which give fair indication of her
condition and that she rested content
ed and-was greatly improved, and al
so that she really longed to join her
Heavenly Father. The letters are
given In order as received after leav-
ing Durango;

(The above was the last letter re-

lowing tells of her death):
Chicago, Jan. 27, 1902.
Mrs. Geo. N Raymond:
Your letter to Miss Bucher was de-
livered this morning. Did you know
that she returned from Zion City
very much improved, but went to the
Auditorium service yesterday (Sun-
day. week ago and took some cold.
She seemed to improve until Friday
afternoon, when she had high fe-
yer and her cough became worse.
Friday night and Saturday she was
worse. but Sunday she seemed easier
and better. Sunday night she de-
clined rapidly and this morning she
passed away at IL o'clock. She
died without struggle, just simply
ceased to breathe We are both sur
prsed and shocked, for she improv-
ed so rapidly and until yesterday she
did not give up. This morning she
insisted she had to go, and only ask
ed prayer that she might not suffer.
She did not, and God heard prayer

victory. Dear, girl. Her life has
been hard. but her Joy in finding the
Lord and knowing Him better than
she ever did was more to her than
life and health. She enjoyed her WIS.,
1t to Mrs. West, but would not re-
main longer, as she wanted to get
back to the meetings here. God
had done so much for her that she
did not use the care she should have
done. Is there anything further that
you wish to know? II can render
any further service will be glad
to do so. Our hearts ache over
another victory for the evil one.
God will reward your kindness and
that of the people here with whom
she was. We have given the under
taker the address of her father and
brother, and he will wire them as to
disposal of body.
With appreciation for your kindness
to her. and feeling sure that all was
done for her here that could be done,
