Celebrated His Soth Birthday.

Mr.. William McLagan cele-
brated his 8oth birthday on Sun
day, Dec. goth by gathering to-
gether a number of his children
and relatives and spending the
day in good old family style.
Mr.. McLagan has been con-
nected with Corvallis since its
early history and a short sketch
of his life would be of universal
interest in this part of the state:
VIM. McLagan was born in Gil
ford, N. Y, in the year 1923.
In 1874 he migrated to Illinois,
where he remained until 1852.
On Nov. 2o, I848, at Belvedere,
ILL.,, he married Miss Sabra
Spring, who is still living.
Eight children were born, six of
whom are now living, two of the
children, Mrs. Jesse Spencer and
Mrs. A. M. Tucker, living in
ACIVdll1S.
In 1852 Mr.. McLagan crossed
the plains to Oregon with an OK
team taking exactly six months
to make the trip from Sycamore,
ILL.,, ILL.,, to Portland, Or. Mr..
McLagan suffered two severe sick
spells on the way which nearly
cost him his life. He came to
Corvallis in 1859 and has made
Benton county his home since
then. He has served the city in
the capacity of treasurer for
nearly seven years, and has
held that place for the past
four years.

Yaquina Bay has at last received
some recognition from the govern
ment, though not all that could be
wished. The secretary of war sub
mits the report of the special board
of engineers on the project for the
Improvement of Yaquina Bay. The
board reports that existing condi-
tons do not warrant continuing the
improvement at the present time,
with the view to securing an in
creased depth of harbor entrance.
but believes the existing works
should be maintained and recon-
mends an appropriation of $25, 900
for this purpose.

in Corvallis for the last 81 years
and this is the first time in his
business career that he has been
compelled to remain at home on
account of illness. He is now II
years Of age, and Notwithstanding
the fact that he has been nearly
two score years in one business,
will, no doubt, be able to dish out
pills for many more years.
Last Saturday morning Mr.. Gil
lespie noticed small mole in tht ir
back yard few feet from the house.
He secured a shovel and ran the
handle down the hole and to his
surprise it went the full length of
the shovel. Further investigation
revealed the fact that there b. d
formerly been a well at that place
which had been filled up. The
dirt had settled leaving only a
crust of dirt a few inches thick
which had become sodded over.
It seems remarkable as the spot has
been trodden upon many times by
grown people, as well as by the
children in their play, and was
broken through last Saturday by
small hen which sank through the
crust to the water beneath. She
was rescued from her watery grave
and tenderly cared for. The crust
has since fallen in and laid bare a
full-sized we'll which is now six or
seven feet deep, containing several
feet OF water,

GILBERT HUNT FEED MILL.

This roll has no equal in the mar
ket as a feed crusher. The mills
are complete, all ready to belt up
and 80 to work. The rolls and shaft
ing are very heavy, and the bear
ings heavy and long, insuring cool
running journals. The rolls are
slightly corrugated to make them
feed properly, but not enough to
grind the grain fine, as is the case
with most corrugated rolls. The
spring contact on rolls is very cas-
lily adjusted. They have an adjust
able hopper feed and absolute force
feed over the rolls. We make them
in a number of different styles, suit
ed to all requirements, and having a
capacity of from ten tons to fifty
tons per day.

In any other year except 1901. The ar
rivals of oats were the largest on rec
ord, being about 1000, 900 bushels greater
than in 1899. The corn receipts were
100000 bushels less than. in 1901, the
falling off being due to the previous small

on Sept. 2, 1901. At that time the mlllers
of Minneapolis were nervous over wheat
supply and called for the delivery of all
the wheat due them and took 1t over, pay
ing cash for it. The figures then Jumped
to $4,112, 294.76.
The reason for the great increase to-
day Is that millers took much of the
wheat they had coming to them. They
think they will need it all, the stock here
and in the northwest being light.
In addition, the Fryberger tax law had
an effect. The tax on wheat amounts
to forty five hundredths of a cent bush
ell. This the elevators escaped by turn
ing over all May wheat sold, thereby MAX
ing the receivers list it for taxation.
