A la Tracy.

Cleve Prather, of Buena Vista,
was In Corvallis Friday and Sat
urday. He related that he had
been robbed of his clothing re-
Gently by a couple of lads who
had escaped from the reform
school at Salem. His brother S
clothes were taken at the same
time.
There was nobody at home on
the Prather farm and the two
runaways had free run of the
premises. They camped in a
grove of timber not a great dis
tance from the house and helped
themselves to what they wanted
in the way of eatables. A week
ago Sunday it was discovered

Back on a Visit.

George Horsefall arrived IL
Corvallis, Friday. This is his
first visit to this city in some
thing like three years, and a
half. Formerly he was in busi-
ness in this city, but lett here to
90 to Troy, Idaho. Shortly af-
ter arriving there he bought a
store and carried on a general
merchandising business for a
time. Having an opportunity to
sell to advantage, he disposed of
his store and went into the grain
business, buying and selling.
He is still engaged in grain deal
ing. He says that Troy is a
lively little city.
There are lively times in the
section OF. Idaho where Mr.. Horse
tall is and wages are good. Men
are scarce. During harvest.
which is but little more than
half over in the vicinity of Troy,
wages run from $2 to $o per day,
the average wages being IS. so
per day. There is good grain
crop raised in his section.
In aud about Troy there are
many sawmills and the amount
of lumber of various kinds that
is shipped in the course OF a
twelve-month is almost incom-
prehensible. There is also some-
thing doing in the way of mines
and Mr.. Horsefall at present has
a splendid mica mine bonded.
While Troy, Idaho, is good
place to make money it is not an
ideal place to live. The sum-
mers are very hot and the win
tiers correspondingly cold. Dur
ing the spring and fall he says
there is about as much rainfall as
there is in the Willamette valley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horsefall passed
through Corvallis about ten days
ago en- route to the bay. Mrs.
Horsefall's parents live in Lin
coin county and she will remain
there for few weeks visit. Mr..
Horsefall may be called back to
Idaho at any time by pressure Of
business. During the past sum.
mer he has had very good health,
but he says that since he got
back to Oregon he feels much
better. He has many friend:
here who were glad to welcome
him during his visit.

that somebody had entered the
house and stolen food, but not
until last Wednesday did Cleve
and his brother notice that their
best suits had disappeared.
When the camp of the boys
was located it was found that
they had robed a stump with the
clothing that they had discarded,
They had taken piece of fun
gus and drawn the face of a man
on it, and this surmounted the
stump, giving it quite a gro.
tesque appearance. The boys
had evidently caught the Tracy
fever and desired to have some
sort of monument to their dar-
ing.
The boys were found by the
authorities and returned to the
reform school, but at late date
Cleve and his brothers. clothes
had not found their way home
and he came up to Corvallis to
replace them.

"The1ma'' Thursday Night.

The presentation of the beautiful play,
"Thelma," at the Opera House next
Thursday evening promises to be the
theatrical event of the season. The play
had most successful run in Portland, {,
and at the final performance, Saturday.
many persons were turned away. The
Oregonian of September nth says of the
first nights performance:
A large audience greeted the first pro-
duction of "Thelma" at Cordray's last
night, and received the play enthusiastic-
ally. "Thelma' has the distinct advan-
tage of being new to the Portland stage.
It is very pretty love story, with be-
ginning in the land of the midnight sun
at summer time, development in London
and its climax in Norway in midwinter.
With the love story there is villainy at
the hands of people in high social rank
and two glimpses of Norwegian mythol-
ogy, set in scenic brilliancy: II is sim
pie story, appealing with force and di'
rectness.
The company is we'll chosen, Mics
Beauford, who plays Thelma, has beau
ty, a sweet, sympathetic voice, grace
and emotional power. Several fine scenes
fall to her share. Mr.. Kearsley did well
| with the DWARF role that arouses much
sympathy. Mr.. Richmond made dig
nified Viking, his form and voice being
perfectly suited to the part. All the com
edv is in the hands of Emily Erickson
Greene, who played Thelma's faithful
servant admirably. The remainder O
the cast was entirely capable. n
Special scenery added no little to th'
completeness of the play. ~.~

Woman Oatwitted Hin.

All old timers will remember
John H. Lewis, who formerly
lived in Corvallis, but who at
present is constable at Salem.
Not long ago he was given au-
thority to arrest Mrs. Ora Damon
and Mrs. A. J. Blanchard, on
the charge of larceny. He had
an awful time of it and then the
ladies were acquitted, much to
his chagrin.
The arrests were made in 1nde-
pendence. On his making his
mission known to Mrs. Blanch-
ard, the latter, according to the
Statesman, ''sought refuge in
her home and when Mr.. Lewis
followed her there he was set up
on by Mrs. Blanchard's mother
and daughters who had armed
themselves with chairs and other
articles of furniture and such a
mix-up as occurred there Mr..
Lewis said he never saw before.
Nearly all the people in town
were attracted to the scene by
the hideous screams of the
| women. To cap the climax, for
Constable Lewis never released
his hold upon his quarry for an
Instant, not even to protect him
lself, the woman went into hys-
|teries and sank into a swoon. -
| He was obliged to leave Mrs.
Blanchard, at her home, friend
vouching for her appearance in
Salem at the proper time, and he
proceeded to Salem, accompa-
MED by Mrs. Damon, who made
no resistance. While crossing
the big bridge across the William
|ette at Salem, Mrs. Damon, who
OCCUPIED the rear seat in the We
lhicle succeeded in leaving the
vehicle without Mr.. Lewis
knowledge and gave him the slip
HE reached Salem with nothing
| TO show for all the trouble be
| had encountered.
i All of Mr.. Lewis friends il
| this city are laughing about the
incident and if he ever return'
Ito Corvallis he will have grea
time telling just how it happened

Dallas Water System

The city council of dallas has
accepted the proposition Of H. V.
Gates for supplying that city
with a system of water works.
While Corvallis is contemplating
propositions for a like purpose,
it is interesting to know what
terms other cities are being Of
fered.
The main features of Mr..
Gates proposition are to the eff
feet that the works shall be a
conduit gravity system. The
water is to be brought from Can
yon Creek, a mountain stream
FIVE miles west of Dallas, to
900, ooo-gallon reservoir on West
Dallas Heights, $50 feet above
Main street, with system of
mains covering the entire town.
Mr.. Gates is to furnish thirty
four hydrants, or more if neces-
sary, for fire protection, and
water for sewer flushing. and fire
company drill. Mr.. Gates must
keep all hydrants in repair and
ready for instant service.
Ali work, piping, mains. ETC.,
must bear a test of I25 pounds to
the square inch, and sustain four
streams seventy feet high TOT
three hours from separate hy-
drants. The city is to furnish
the contractor $12, 900 in twenty
year bonds. At the end of TWEEN
ty years the city is to have the
option of buying the plant at ar
appraised value.
The council set Sept. 18th as
the time for the bond election
MI. Gates utters a certified
check for So, 900 that the work
shall be commenced fifteen day:
after the bond election, provided
the bonds are voted. The bond:
will be sold to the lowest bidder
and may be a popular loan to ac
commodate local capitalists.

Chris Kennel, a travelling man

Corvallis few days ago doing bus
mess in his line. Mr.. Kennel has
Just spent ten days or two weeks
over at the coast and he was most
favorably impressed with the at
fractions at Newport, Nye Creek
and other points. He says that he
has been at all the resorts along
the Oregon coast and likes the va

The dense smoke which has an

mouth of the Columbia river is suf-

SKINNING A PEARL.
A Delicate Operation for the Re-
moval of Stains or DiscoIorationA
That Requires skill.

The lapidary was skinning a pearl,
according to the Philadelphia Record.
He had on gloves of "a very delicate
sort Of kid, and the glasses that he
wore had lenses of such magnifying
power that his eyes, through them,
looked as big as saucers. II wear
gloves" he said, because the hands
perspire freely in this work, and per-
spiration has often been known TO dis
color pearls. This stone was injured
by the accidental dropping on it of
some acid. The disaster discolored it
some, you see. With this very deli
cate little tool l am removing its outer
skin, and if | find that the acid has
filtered through and discolored the
inner skin also, / may remove that as
wen. A pearl, you see, is composed Of
concentric layers, or skins, and you
can, if you are a clever workman, peel
il down and down until it disappears"

DOCTORS AND CHARITY.
What the Medical Profession owes to
tb, benevolent Institutions of
Our Country.

Human want and misery is not to be
altogether attributed to ignorance in
the ordinary educational sense, nor al
together to economic conditions, but
mere largely to the mdfign effects OF
hereditary physical faint and unsani.
tafy surroundings, says American
Medicine. All modern communities
possess organizations Of the charita-
bly, inclined, and to the efforts of such
benevolent persons the medical pro-
fession il chiefly indebted for the
founding and support of the many in
stitutions through which physicians
exercise their functions among the
poor. 1t remains for the profession to
enter into this work in a more syste-
matte way. Every city, county and
state medical society should have a
standing committee of its most public
spirited members, whose particular
business it should be to cooperate ac-
lively with the organized charities in
the capacity Of an advisory board. BY
such a system much may be done in
the way Of preventing mistakes and
of developing the form of preventive
charity which will seek to ameliorate
suffering by the reduction of PERM
cious conditions. The splendid work
of infirmaries, dispensaries and hospi-
tails IN placing curative medicine at
the disposal of the diseased poor, needs
to be supplemented by bringing the
science Of preventive medicine into
harmonious action with that form of
charity which looks to the lessening
OF social evils along the lines Of per-
aonal and public sanitation

THE FAR WEST WIPED OUT.
Wildness and WoolIiness of That
Portion of the Union Has Almost
Entirely Disappeared

A publishing house in this city, says
the Chicago Chronicle, has received
an order from the Yukon region for
books expressive of what is now the
''far" northwest. The order includes
Gibbons Rome, Macaulay's England,
the writings of John Stuart Mill, of
Flammarion and other engaging sci
entists, graphic novels, humorous
stories, but none of Bret Harte's. The
Far West" of Bret Harte is at the
vanishing point. A hurry postscript
observed that the navigation season
is short and that only letter mail is
carried over the ice.
In truth, there is no longer any
"far" west or far" northwest The
rugged and often illiterate humanity
that cleft the mountains and swan the
rivers, opening up a new empire for
all the world, is also of the past. The
universal free school sends different
multitude now to the advancing from
tier. Sturdy but not illiterate, the
new pioneers want books wherever
they go, and science and the organized
forces of civilization enable them to
crafty their taste. Culture is no
longer monopoly of the older por-
tlons of the country.

MULES PLOW IN ASPHALT.
Drag Big Breaking Pillow Through
Deep Deposit in the Chick
asaw Country.

In the Indian territory, where all
sorts of things are done that were
never heard of elsewhere, they are
glowing asphalt, says the Kansas City
Star of recent date. Eighteen miles
southeast of Comanehe, in the Chick
asaw country, six strapping Mis-
souri, mules are hitched to a big break
ing pillow every day and long burrows
of asphalt are turned. 1t is the same
kind of a pillow the farmers use who
break ground in the black jack coun-
try, and the asphalt is the kind got by
blasting on the island of Trinidad.
The mules are blowing in the center of
deposit one-third larger than the
asphalt deposits on Trinidad. Wells
have been dug to the depth of 100 feet.
Strata of asphalt of varying thick.
nesses have been encountered to what.
ever depth the wells have been sunk.
The supply is apparently inexhausti.

intrenching tools may be carried by
the soldier
The new piece weighs but little
less than 9Hs pounds, considerably
lighter than the German and the
Mauser, yet has greater velocity and
greater penetration. 1t is noted that
opinions differ as to the value of the
rod bayonet. The construction of
5000 of the new muskets has been au-
thorized.
Gen. Crozier embraces in his report
the conclusions of the board of ord
nance and fortifcaiton on the recent
tests of the several systems for new
field gun to show why the ordnance
department model is superior He
says the bureau is proceeding with the
manufacture of field material from
designs which it has prepared concur
rently with the development of knowl-
edge by tests. Generally speaking the
new gun will have caliber of three
inches and viii fire projectile weigh
ing IS pounds with an initial velocity
of 1,700 feet per second The breech
mechanism will be of the ordnance de-
partment type with certain modifica-
tions for securing safety The piece
will have a recoil of from As to AS
inches. Defects developed at the tests
on the proving grounds are to be RENE
died. A new feature will be the bull
let-proof shields with which the pieces
are to be provided. Capt. Charles B.
Wheeler is given credit for the design
of the gun carriage.
