atives and friends. H. will return
to the metropolis tomorrow.
The residence that VIM. Crees is
building on bis property west of
the college is rapidly nearing COM
pietion. It is quite a large and
commodius building.
The college authorities have just
flushed the erection of a large new
windmill in the field west of Cau-
thorn Hall. It is to replace the
old mill that occupied the same
site.
Mrs. Ellsworth Cameron and
three children went to Portland,
last Friday to join Mr.. Cameron.
They expect to remain there per-
manently, as Mr.. Cameron has a
good position in the metropolis.
George Linderman began thrash
ing on VIM. Knotts' place Thursday
afternoon, but his engine broke
down after a half days run, and
the crew was laid off for a day or
so while repairs we're being made.
In recent letter to his friend
and classmate, Frank Ward, of this
city, Clyde Williams, graduate of
o A C, 1901, states that he is hold
ing position at present in the
drug establishment of A. S. Locke,
in Independence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gillespie, Miss
Ella Ingraham and Bruce Burnett,
who have been enjoying a two
weeks outing in Alsea, returned
home Saturday. The Baker-Gibson
party, who have been camped near
the same place, will be home today.
Doke Hughes was in Corvallis last
week having separator Of thrash
ing outfit overhaulsd and repaired.
Mr.. Hughes does not share the gen.
eral opinion that the grain crop is
as good as many think it is. He
says his crop will not 60 over fifteen
bushels of wheat per acre and he
believes it is a fair sample from his
section of the country.
The monuments for the graves
of w. E. and Elda Elliott, who died
last spring have arrived and will be
put in position at once. The de-
ceased brothers were both Wood
men and their monuments represent
the Woodmen emblem, an oak
stump. They are some four or five
feet high and are most artistically
engraved and fittingly inscribed.
Daniel Jory, of Blodgett, recently
sold his SO-acre FARM Ito VIM. F. K.
Keller, a newcomer. The consider,
alton was in the neighborhood of
800. Mr.. Jory and wife expected
to leave, yesterday, for Grants Pass,
where they formerly resided. They
sold out on account of Mr.. Jory's i'll
health. Mr.. Keller has already
taken possession of his new home.
Mrs. E. A. Laws, who recently
moved from this city to Portland to
take up her residence has gone to
England. In a recent letter to
Coz Wallis friend she stated that she
would leave last Wednesday for
London to reside permanently.
Mrs. Laws made her home in Cor
Wallis for many years and leaves a
legion of friends here who wish her
naught but happiness.
Ralph Watkins, who farms the
Jesse Walker place, was in town
last week and purchased new
wagon and a set of harness. It is
said that no grain farmer in the
state accomplishes more than he
does when it comes to putting in
grain. For the past three or four
years he has been farming 300
acres and he does all of the work
himself. He puts in from $50 to
200 of fall and spring grain and
generally has about 100 acres, of
summer fallow.
The recent warm weather has
played "hob" with dairy COWS and
this in turn has affected the Cor
Wallis Creamery. The supply of
milk and cream received at the
creamery has greatly decreased.
However, a rattling good business
is still carried on at this establish
ment. Mr.. Kaupisch says that as
soon as cooler weather comes and
we get little rain the supply of
milk and cream will increase and
he expects to do a splendid business
throughout the winter.
Speaking of the plans of the
Eastern capitalists who intend run
ming a railroad from Dallas to Falls
City, and possibly on over to the
Siletz, the Dallas Observer says:
The members of the party were all
emphatic in the declaration that
they were thoroughly in earnest in
the matter, and said that the work
of construction would begin at once
in order to have the road in opera
ton before the wet weather sets in.
Further than this they gave out no
information as to their plans for
the immediate future. The party
left for Portland on the early train
