THEY EXPECT TROUBLE
And are Prepared for it-CorYallis Men
to Travel Under Difficulties.

Sheriff Burnett, Robert Johnson,
DR. Bowen Lester and Thomas
Whitehorn left yesterday morning
for Belknap Springs. for hunting
and fishing trip. They are heavily
armed, and that is what got three
hunters, who travelled by bicycle
through the valley recently in
to trouble. One of them was thought
to have looked like Tracy, just as
Johnson does. As they approach.
ed Salem an extra guard was put
around the walls to keep them from
capturing the Oregon penitentiary
They passed through Albany and
officers there hastily notified con-
stables and sherifs at Harrisburg
Eugene and Coberg, to be on the
lookout. The Coburg constable
gathered around a number of arm
ed men, and after the hunters pas
sed, he phoned the Eugene officers
that he had not attempted a cap
ture, having but two Or three de-
puties to aid him. The residents
of Coburg were badly frightened
and stayed entirely within doors
until the imaginary outlaws pas
sed on out Of sight. The whole re.
gion through WHICH the hunters
passed was kept in a spasm of

Johnson, They expect to be held
up, and set out with nlisgivings. If
things get too warm for them, it is
the talk that they will cache their
hunting apparatus in the bottom
of the wagon, and stow Johnson
away under the bedding, only let
ting him out when the coast seems
clear, and then only for brief spells.
Also, they will have handy a suit
Of female attire and a supply Of
back hair. If it comes to the very
worst, after removing his mustache
they will array Robert in these,
mount him Oh white mule, and
set him to travelling homeward as
Miss Ellen Stone of Boston. The
boys have confidence that in this
role he would be a howling sue
cess, and that the device will de-
liver them from any embarrassment
and trouble that they have reason
to expect.

NOW IN JAIL
At Eugene The Alleged Murderer of Ben
Tracy-How he was Taken

Sheriff Withers has arrived at
Eugene with the alleged murderer
of the late Ben Tracy. Mr. Tracy
it will be remembered was buried in
Newton cemetery near Corvallis on
the 22nd of last May Sheriff Wi
theirs after a long and exciting
chase, captured Heaton, alias Ray
at Wells Nevada. The Eugene
Guard tells of the capture thus
He had located Heaton's wife and
kept the residence under survei11-
ance in the hopes that the suspect
would show himself. One day Mr.
Withers was on the street when
along came his quarry and entered
a barber shop. Feeling reasonably
sure that it was his man, yet wish
ing to make no mistake, Mr. With
ers accosted a restaurant keeper
aext door to the shop, with the
query, who is the fellow that just
entered the barber shop, seems like
I ought to know him. The res
tauranter soon dispel1ed all doubts
in Mr. Withers mind as to the identi-
ty of the individual. He entered the
barber shop and found Heaton re-
Ginning in a chair getting shaved.
Striding forward he thrust revol-
yer in Heaton' face and at the same
time jerking the BARRIERS robe from
over him and with the command of
throw up yonr hands""' grasped
the murderer's weapon. The bar
Der nearly had collapse from nerv-
Gus fright. He jumped back and
yelled, For Gods sake man don't
do that"
Mr. Withers said that he was
compelled to laugh at the BARRIERS S
antics though the situation other
wise was dramatic. His prisoner
submitted quietly, seeing that the
sheriff had the drop on him. He
loudly protested his innocence how
ever.
Although a cold-b1ooded murder
er, Heaton does not look the part.
He is rather under-size and posses
ses good looks above the average.

OFFERED FIVE CEN rs
Per Pound for Dried Prunes Of the
Coming Crop Offer Refused,

w w Bristow was in town Mon
day, returning from a visit to the
Green Peak fruit orchard. The
prune crop there,is a good one
third and may be a one half crop.
The yield is fully as much as the
present drying capacity can handle.
The number of acres of prures in
the orchard is no. The dryer is a
double Io-tunne1 Kertz, with a ca
pacity of perhaps 800 bushels per
day. The dried product of the or
chard last year was 100000. Bart
lett pears in the orchard promise a
very fair crop, but the apples are
mi1dewed.
In the Excelsior orchard, the
crop of pruhes is reported better
than last year. The latter, how
ever was a light crop. The Or
chard is owned by Wilhelm & Sons
who have already refused an offer
of five cents per pound for their
best dried prtine5 this fail.
The reported shortage of prunes
all over the world seems to be ma
terializing. Late indications are
that the worlds crop will be so
so far short of the usual that bigger
prices will be obtained for the
crop than have been seen
in this country in years. Uu-
fortunately for the growers in the
of Corvallis, most of their
crops are likely to be considerably
below the average.

Perfume From a Whale.
From knowledge.

From knowledge.
Ambergris Is generally found floating on
the surface of the sea, and very dinerent
ideas have been entertained as to Its ma
ture and origin. 1t appears, however, that
so early as the middle of the sixteenth CEN
tury it was known to have some connection
with whales, although the nature Of this
connection was not fully realized. One
writer for instance. in describing sperm
whale stranded on the Norfolk coast, ex-
presses his surprise at not finding amber
girls in its stomach. Although the idea that
ambergris is swallowed by the sperm whale
is erroneous. the writer In question was
quite correct in regarding that substance
as pertaining to this particular species Of
cetacean. The fact that it contains the
horny beaks of squids and cuttles belong
ing to species that form the food Of the
gigantic sperm whale or cachelot (by far
the largest of the cetaceans furnished with
teeth), is alone sufficient to indicate that
it is a product of that monster. And from
time to time it is actually found in the ali
mentary canal Of that whale. 1t appears,
indeed, to be a hillary cOncretion, closely
analogous in its nature to beZoar stones,
and due to the existence Of disease in the
individuals in which 1t occurs. In place,
therefore, of being found only in old and
strong specimens, it is, generally at least,
met with rather in those in poor condition
or which have died natural death. When
first taken from the sperm whales interior
the ambergris is a soft, greasy substance
and it is only after exposure to the air
that 1t hardens and acquires it's charac-
teriStic aroma, which is described as be-
Ing sweet and earthly.

CHINESE SUPERSTITION.
Celestials Advised to Abandon False
Gods.

From the Shanghai Mercury.
The fate of an empire its prosperity or
decay, its good order or disorder, the wis
dom or foolshncss of its people. depends on
sincerity. If the sovereign and his minis
ters act sincerely prosperity will come. 1t
does not depend on sacrifice now and then
at the altar of heaven, or some temple.
Your prayers will not avail If you are not
sincere. Calamity will come despite your
incense and offerings. and prosperity may
cCme without them.
In the homes of the people, the same law
holds good. Ill luck cannot be averted by
the superstitious practices of Buddhism and
Taoism. The only sure way is to be honest
and sincere. Give up your incense and
candles and reading of prayers. Abandon
all thoughts of devils and spirits and they
will not harm you If you are sincere. IL
yOu do not give up these false things the
kingdom will decay. and your family Will
perish. You pray for happiness, but sor,
row will come, and even then remorse will
be unavailng. The greatest ability will
fail to mend your fortunes.
China has suffered untold loss for ages
through falsty of belief and practice. This
is true both Of officials and people. Thus
consider the stupid custom of saving the
sun and moon during eclipse. Tzu
Kung, the disciple of Confucius, said that
a great mans faults were like an eclipse
of the sun or moon which everybody couid
see And Mencius repeated the sentiment.
Hence 1t is evident that in their judgment
an eclipse was a small thing. How is It
that people since their day make a great
outcry and say an eclipse is portentous
Of evil? Some alege in support Of their
superstition that eclipses are recorded by
Confucius in the "spring and autumn an
nails as if they were portentous Of good or
