CHITTIM KINGS.
Some of the More Famous Ones
Strikes They Made in Bark at Big
Figures.

!
They still talk about town of the
small fortunes made this year in
chittim. Among the chittim kings
most frequently mentioned, is J. R.
Slaier. Early in the season, he Sc.
cured contract for alt the chittim
on the farm of Woods Jackson.
The price paid was $43. During
the season. Slater and his family
have peeled from the farm bark for
which they have received more
than ST Zoo, making a profit for
their labor, during the few weeks
of more than $I,I5o.t 1t is also said
that but half the bark on the farm
has been peeled, and that if prices
continue as at present, the Skaters
will have, off their original invest
ment of $43, another $1,000 draw
down next year.
J. O. Wilson of A1sea, is another
of the chittim kings. Two years
ago he left Corvallis and went with
his family to Alsea to reside He
bought farm there, and after
time his house burned, The flames
that consumed the house, did not,
however, burn the mortgage twas
hard times, indeed, for the Wilson's

just for fun and diversion. while
his father chopped wood. The little
fellows bark, just a small jag in a
little sack, was brought to town the
other day. It was to be exchanged
for a pair of gloves, and it was
thought that a quarter or half
dollar would be left over to buy
candy with. The bark was weigh
ed. the gloves bonght, and a Cor
wallis merchant proceeded to count
out the balance in cash. 1t was

mistake" said the boys father to
the merchant. ''No, I haven't"
said the merchant. Then for the
first time the astonished father
learned of the advance in price,
and after paying for the gloves
So IS was due his little boy.
William and Eli Spencer of Blod-
gett are also among the chittim
kings. They delivered it in large
quantities, and are said to have
struck the market at excellent fa-I
ures, With a total revenue for the
county of about 500, 900 for this
years chittim there are lucky ones
in almost every neighborhood, and
the rich strikes as diversified and
htful as in mining camp.

AS TO FOOTBALL.
Nearly all of old Guard will be on
Hand at OAC This Season.

The advance guard of the COM
ing football squad reached town
Thursday in Captain Bert Pilking-
ton. the champion full back of last
year. He is on the ground thus
early to get things shaped up for
practice to begin with the openin-
of college. He is full of anticipa-
ton with reference to the team
the college will be able to put
into the field this year. All of the
old men in the line except Bur-
nough, center. and Rose, end, are
expected back. The loss of Rose
is fully made up in the coming of
well known player of whom it is
claimed that he is the best end in
Oregon. For the absence of Bur-
nough, there is as yet no recon-
pense, save such as may come from
the second team. of which there is
an abundance of fine material. Be
hind the line all the fine players of
last year. Nash, Williams. Root,
Laughlin and Captain Pilkington,
will be in the field. Whether all of
the old men will be able to hold
their places against an abundance
of new material expected, remains
to be seen.
Of coaches, the OAC squad will
have a talented array this season.
T. L McFadden. one of the best
oooobae c., tt,a Hooet for,,or eto~
end on the Stanford team and a
trainer of much experience is to ar
rive from San Francisco by the Fl,
to serve as head coach. He was
engaged soon after the close of the
season last winter With him is to
come second coach. who is both
player of renown and a coach of
successful experience. Both coach
es are experts in the stratagems of
the game and skillfu1 in the hand
ling of men. The condition of the
men will be entrusted to Director
Trine, the most successful man in
that particular on the Coast.
The schedule of games so far is
but partially hlled. Inc manage
ment is inclined to hold back, in
making a schedule in order to take
of the best opportunities
that may offer. A game with the
State University is scheduled for
21st, the Saturday be-
fore Thanksgiving. A game each
with Forest Grove and McMinn-
vile are also listed tor early dates
in the season. Negotiations for a
game with the University of Ne.
vada to be played at Corvallis are
also on, but they have not been
closed. A game can be made with
Washington University, but there
is some hesitancy on the part of
Manager Hayward over the ques
ton of whether or not he can pay
the pTice asked,

THEY HOLD TILL JANUARY.
Road Supervisors Do-Then the Coun-
ty Court Appoints-A New De-
cision.

Ever since the enactment by the
last Legislature of law requiring
road supervisors to be appointed
by the county judge and commits
sioners, there has been more or
less difference of opinion as to the
status of supervisors elected last
year, The new law provides that
new supervisors shall be appointed
by the court in January, 1904
Some persons in various parts of
the state contended that the super
visors elected last year went out of
Office as soon as the new law be-
came effective, which was last May.
Others held that such supervisors
continued in office until January.
1904. The Benton county court
held to the latter view.
In Polk county the difference of
opinion ended in a lawsuit to de-
termine the question. Tuesday,
Judge Boise decided the question
in the circuit court at Dallas, hold
ing that supervisors elected last
year would continue in Office until
January, 1904, when all should be
replaced by supervisors appointed
by the county court.

NEARLY SIXTY THOUSAND.
Probable Amount Realized by Benton's
Chittim Peelers This Season.

Z
The chittim business has almost
closed for this season, and dealers
are shipping the product to various
parts of the United States and Eng
land. There is perhaps not more
than carload in first hands, and
that will be sold at price below the
highest offered this year rather than
hold it over and chance the market
next season.
The amount of bark ALREADY
shipped from Corvallis, together
with that now in the warehouses
here for shipment at once, is 10
e1even-ton cars. There is yet to
come from Alsea a carloads which
has been purchased, and which
will be shipped from this point.
In the south end of the county
buyers have been &C. i've, and the
TIMES has reliable information to
the effect that there will be shipped
from Junction City about six car
loads Of bark which came from the
Five Rivers settlement. The out
put of this commodity from Benton
county will therefore be, including
that not sold, Fl e1even-ton cars, or
5e4 900 pounds. It is estimated
that the price will average ten cents
per pound, On this basis the sum
of $50, 400 has been realized by the
peelers in this county.
This entire amount Of money
goes directly into the hands of the
people who, as a rule, have small
cash incames,- settlers in the
Coast mountains, or those who
when they peeled this bark, ex-
pected to realize only small wages
for their work.
There has been no expense in
CURED in procuring the chittim-
no capital invested or outlay what
ever on account of the product.
The money received by the peelers
is therefore wholly profit. Local
dealers have also realized hand
some1y this season, and whatever
their profits have been may proper
1y be added to the amount paid to
pee1ers, III estimating the benefits
accruing to the community from
the chittim business.

HOP YARD STRIKE.
That Didn't Win Out--Yielded to
Chinese Hopgrower' Bold
= Front.

A strike that was short lived and
resultless for the strikers, happened
in the Lilly hop yard Tuesday.
The pay there is 40 cents per box
The pickers were regularly laid off
about three in the afternoon. This,
and news of higher prices paid for
picking elsewhere made number
of the pickers dissatisfied.
Atthe noon hour, the word
went round among the pickers
that an effort would be made to
force price of fifty cents per box,
and requesting all to stand out for
that amount. A delegation went
to the Chinese 1essees of the yard
and made demand for the higher
figure. The demand met with a
blank refusal, and the delegation
was told that all pickers who were
not content to pick for forty cents
per box had better get out of the.
yard.
The bold front of the Cinnamon
won the day. and within a short
time most of the pickers returned
to work. "A number, however, left
the yard and went to Independence
where better prices prevail. Had
the pickers been better organized
and stood frmlthey would havemost
likely won out. As it was, how
ever. not all the pickers in the yard
were aware that strike was on.

SPLIT HIS CHIN.
His Jawbone-Zophar Tharp-Broken
Parts Have not Knitted.

Parts Have not Knitted.
Zophar Tharp, injured recently
in a bridge accident in Douglas
county and now at his home near
.McMinnville, is able to be. about on
crutches, but one leg remains para
lived. 1t is not known whether or
not the latter affection will disap-
pear.
In the accident. the jawbone was
split at the chin The broken
bones are held together by silver
wire, passing over his tongue and
binding together the teeth on OPP
-posite sides of his mouth. The
knitting process has not proceeded
well, and the other day the fasten-
ings gave away, and the two sides
of the jaw fell apart at The chin, one
side dropping considerably lower
than the other,
The paralysis of the leg is believ-
ed to be caused by an injury to the
spine or back, In the fall of the
bridge timb4rs he received con-
siderable blow in the middle of the
back, or slightly on the right side.
He is a popular boy in college and
Corvallis, and his misfortune is
mu h regretted here.
In the accident. Tharp fell with
the false work of bridge and was
precipitated 81 feet into the bed of
a shallow river or creek, the bottom
of which was bed rock.

THEY COST MONEY.
Five Chickens for -McKellips'
Pharmacists in Demand-Chittim,


Prof, McKe11ips has applications
from druggists for two graduates
from the OAC pharmacy course to
take positions in drug stores. One
of the places is at Wardner. Idaho,
with salary of $40 per month.
Unfortunately for the applicants,
every graduate from last years. S
pharmacy class had accepted a po-
sition within 80 days after college
closed Also every person ever
graduated from the department has
a position, except Ed Rosendorf,
who has gone East to study medi-
cine and Miss Holden, who does
not want to practice.
This is chittim bark item. The
news of the advance in bark pene.
trated to the remote Big Elk coun-
try. Five cents was the quotation
that reached there and son and
daughter in the family went to
peeling. Shortly afterward the
TIMES arrived with the news of an
advance to twelve cents and better.
The two worked thre sand with
the assistance two half days of
their mother, had stripped the few
chittin trees on the ranch. The
bark was marketed a few days ago
in Corvallis. It brought fourteen
cents, and the sum realized was $o3
or more than $I3 a day for each
days labor performed.
Today, J. G. Horning sends FIVE
pens of poultry to the State air.
Mr.. Horning is breeder of barred
Plymouth Rocks and his stock en-
braces the best strains to be found
anywhere. He has been making
this business a study for some years
and is doing his part toward max
ing Oregon what she may be one
of the greatest poultry states IN
the Union DR.. Lester is another
Corvallis man who in taking an
interest in the poultry business.
His speciality is White Wyandottes.
He has rented the Hershner place,
.-
convenient to town, and will devote
his spare time to looking after his
feathered family. Last spring DIR.
Lester procured number of eggs
from Arthur c. Dnston of Mailboro
Mass, the leading breeder of White
Wyandottes. and from these be
reared fifteen chickens From the
same breeder a few days ago, he re-
ceived pen of fowls which the
novice can readily see are superior
specimens. The cost of these fine
birds, including express .tcharges
was $6o.25. There are also many
others in Corvallis who are inter,
esting themselves in we1l-bred pou1-
try, and this would seem likely to
become recognized center for the
production of high class fowls.
