OPENS TOMORROW NIGHT.
At the Corvallis Opera House-C1em-
keefer Company.

A Bachelors Honeymoon which
will be interpreted by the Clement
Keefer Company Thursday night
Octocer 9Th is perhaps the best farce
comedy ever written. It has been
done by the best companies and in
the large theatrical centers. The
Clement Keefer Company which
has no superior as a travelling or
ganization pays a high loyalty for
the play. This company proposes
producing only high class standard
plays of which "a Bachelors
Honeymoon" isa fair type. The
management requests those who do
not enjoy good laugh to remain
away. The play is credited with
1865 laughs. The characters are
all finely drawn and true to life,
which places this play far above the
ordinary farce. It has sufficient
logical plot to furnish legitimate
surprises and is wholesome as well
as laugh provoking. This will be
the only opportunity to see the
Comedy. The C1ement-Keefer
Company have sole rights for its
performance in the Northwest.

THEIR HUNT FOR CHITTIM.
And Difficulties They Encountered Re.
turn ofCorvallis Party. S

sNAA O4oOA e1AAAo al ~
Several of the chittim home
steaders have returned to Corvallis,
They journeyed to the Yachatscoun
try last week. So far, none of
them have made filings on what
they found. The search, in fact,
seems not to have been entirely
successful. eve have a dozen
places On the string" said one Of
the party, ''but we do not know
yet as to how many or what we will
file on"
The trip was fruited with vicis-
situde, according to all accounts.
The rain poured, the wind blew,
and chittim trees were scarce. The
trees and trees that it was expected
to find in the Yachats country,
with trunks with precious bark,
were not discoverable. The search
went over logs, down into deep ca
ons. through salal brush, and sal
mon berry bushes Fifty dollars
each was to have been paid To-
Gator who was to pilot the members
of the party to government quarters
bristling with chittim trees. One
spot so far from civilization that it
would cost thousands to cut mule
trail into it, was found. whereon a
few stray chittim trees waved and
bent under the pressure of the gale,
fresh from the ocean. There were
four in the party. besides the To-
Gator, the latter of whom is resid-
ent of the Yachats country, and
presumably familiar with the re-
gion. But all were, as a matter of
cold fact, hopelessly lost. They
knew they were in the vicinity of
of Saddle Back mountain, made
famous by the fact that party
of Corvallisites lost their way there
few years ago, but beyond this
they knew nothing. The sun,
when it could be seen through the
clouds and tall timber, refused to
be in the east at rising time, or in
the west at setting time. 1t was at
all points of the compass to members
of the parry, Civilization and the
ocean beach was finally found by
descending inty deep canon, and
following a mountain brooks wind
ings until it finally approached the
ocean.
One of the party told about the
extreme crookedness of the roads
of the Yachats country. The
highway turned suddenly so many
times, he said, that at one time the
horses ate oats out of the hind end
ofthe wagon. At another time, he
said, he was driving team and
following along behind the locator.
The road turned so often and so
sharply that about every two min
utes he met the locator coming
from the opposite direction. THAT
he said, twas on the Yachats
mountain road; but the Preacher
Greek road was worse 1t turned
SO sharply that one Of the party,
who rode wheel had to back his
machine twice in order to make
turn.
James F1ett, who has joined the
chittim contingent has been heard
from. A man who arrived Monday
from the Five Rivers country says
he saw James on Lobster Sunday
afternoon. With the rain coming
down in torrents, the newspaper
man, on the hurricane deck of
broncho, and with far away chit
tim look on his visage. had his
face in the direction of the setting
sun, and was journeying on, on. on.

Contracts Aggregating $40. 600
Awarded to J. J. Burke.
HOLLAND co. BUYS DEER PARK
BUTLER-LIBERAL PURCHASE
MAY DAY ASSESSMENT

Contracts for the erection and equip
ment of the Columbus Consolidated
company's big power plant in Little
Cottonwood canyon were yesterday
awarded to James J. Burke. the me
chanical and constructing engineer.
The completion Of the contracts VIII
entail an expenditure on the part Of
the Columbus company of approximate
" $40 900. and the plant, is to be COM
pleted and turned over in running or
der not later than the LIST day Of jan
uary next
Included in the equipment of the
plant is a 300-kiloEvat electric generator
(the equivalent Of 450 horse pOwer), a
Pelton wheel of like power, one mile of
pipe line. carrying twenty-four-inch
pipe, and four miles Of poles over which
the power generated will be supplied
to the cOmpany's mines at Alta. In
the one mile that the water VIII be
conveyed by the steel pipe to the plant
there is a drop of 500 feet, so the energy
developed will be very great.
Mr.. Burke stated during the after
noon that work would commence at
once. The necessary buildings viii be
erected. the pole line put in and the
trench dug for the pipe line before frost
begins to interfere with the work. Or
ders for the equipment will be placed
without a moments delay and he has
not the least fear but he viii have the
entire job completed well within the
time limit.
With the Columbus power Plant in
operation not only the company S
mines and the mill which is to be erect.
ed in the spring, will have all the power
and light needed, but the surplus en-
ergy will be sufficient to supply the
feeds Of every company at present OPP
Grating in the district. 1t is expected
that quite a number Of them will grasp
this opportunity to get cheap power as
soon as the plant is completed, thus
enabling the most of them TO do much
more rapid work in the development OF

Park Group For $40, 900.
The other day the Holland company,
with property in the Gold Mountain dis
trict, levied a $500 assessment 1t now
develops that the real reason for making
the call rested in the fact that the COM
pany had undertaken the purchase Of the
Deer Park group Of claims, adjoining the
Holland property. The option was ae-
CURED from Walter James OF Black Rock
and under its terms the purchasers agree
The initial payment, it is understood, has
been made and there is no question but
the full amount will be paid in the time
specified.
1t appears that the Holland company
had developed its vein up to the end lines
of the Deer Park, and. in order TO go far
ther, the ground had TO be acquired. Be
fore the organization Of the Holland COM
pany, Mr. James said he and Willard f.
Finally a trade was made. Snyder giving
up his interest IN the Deer Park in eX-
change for James interest I'm the Hol-

secured. the Holland management will
