W.T. really matters but little to his

was one incident Of that hour which
shows how the wisest experts may

Foderals under General G. X, War.

trip from Atlanta to the sea which is
celebrated In the popular war song.
This time forty years ago the army
was on the northern slope of Pine
mouEtaln tolling to break through the
passes held by General Joseph Il.
Johnston's Confederates and covered,
by his guns. Beyond Pine mountain
lay bold Kenesaw, through which the
railway passed leading to Atlanta.
The actions fought during this stage
OF Sherman's march were less san
culinary than those taking place in
the same period on eastern battle
fields, but the National cemetery at
Marietta, on the southern slopes of
Kenesaw, holds the ashes of 10000
Federal soldiers. who fell from the
bullets or disease. Kenesaw and the
lesser mountains around 1t held Sber-
mans army month. On the 9th of
June the heights were stormed, with
loss of $500 Federal assailants.
The operations in front Of Kenesaw

[~oRTY years ago the year of bloody

N0RTY years ago the year Of bloody
battles opened with campaigns
~ In Virginia and Georgia. Grant
had recently been given the rank of
lieutenant general, with command Of
all the Federal forces. He personally
conducted the Army Of the Potomac
in the march against Richmond through
the region west of the Rappahannock
river known as the wilderness. In the
month Of May, 1864, over hundred ac-
tions were fought all over the theater
Of war, which resulted in loss or life.
May was a day Of battles.
The battle opened In the Wilderness
on May with one Of the most re-
markable struggles known to the an
nails of war. Writing Of the battle
ground, General Badeau says, "0ne
tangled mass Of stunted evergreen,
dwarf chestnut, oak and hazel, with
an underground OF low brlstling
shrubs, making the forest almost Inn
penetrable" And Of the battle, "A
wrestle as blind as at midnight; a
gloom that made maneuvers imprac-
ticable; jungle where regiments
stumbled on each other and on the en-
emy by turns firing sometimes into
their own ranks and guided often on
ly by the cracking OF the bushes or
the cheers and cries that arose from
the depths around" The fighting Of
May in the wilderness, and, In fact,

An effort is on foot in Marion

done in that line Ii is also propos-
ed TO have firms place on xhbition

cry il operation al the far. for the
benefit of all interested in the bet err

Judge Scott, Of Marion hssj just ar
ranged with Manager Edwin Stone
for forty tons of granite from the
quarry on the East end of the C.&
E. road to be brought TO the fair
grounds and there used in the con-
struction of road work. This will
serve a double purpose. 1t will
demonstrate the practicability ofthe
granite for road material and will
show what fine building material

Excursion to the Circus.

Special excursion rates on all
lines of travel have been arranged
for by the management of Ringing
Brothers Worlds Greatest Shows,
and those who wish to go to Albany
Thursday September 1st where this
great circus exhibits can do so at
very little expense. This will be
the only point in this vicinity where
the show will exhibit this season.
Ringing Brothers circus has ben
the leading arenic exhibition of A
merica for years, but the show has
never been permitted to rest upon
its own reputation, Although it
long ago passed the point of compe.
tition, every season sees a greater
and grander show. This year. S
performance is entirely new, and
entails the combined efforts of 375
wonderful artists in the equestrian,
gymnastic, equilibristic, acrobatic
and aerial line, together with forty
famous clowns and hundreds of
lesser lights, six hundred and ff
ty horses are used and a marvellous
trained animal department is pre-
sented. The circus this season is
greatly enlarged by the spectacular
| production OF Jerusalem and the
Crusades, a pantomimic presenta-
tion of the well known and beauti-
full historic narratives of the Cru
saders. The vast menagery has
among hun4reds Of features the
only living pair of giraffs. the first
baby elephant successfully bred
and reared in America, and the on

WHY THEY. COMPLAIN.
Not the Electric but Part of the Ter.
ritorial Road That They Want.

All material for road building in
the. souibersi part of Benton county
is 10 be transported free of charge
over the Ii of the ,ew electric
railroad between Corvallis and Eu-
gen. This is the concession that
the Benton county court has sought
and obtained. and the fact is sig
ni6cant. It means that all mater
ial that is to be used for the better
ment of Benton highways is to be
carried, in reasonable quantities at
a time, and at reasonable times,
free of all Expense, over the new
line, to sucn points as IS desired by
the Benton court. At various
points in the county the side roads
or the lanes leading out to a con-
nection with the state road, are the
ones that are in such a deplorable
condition that travel is r ndered
wel-nigh impossible during a por-
ton of the winter. The new ar
rangement means that material will
be taken along the electric line to
the nearest point to these side roads
from whence it can be hauled to the
places where most needed, thus
saving the heavy exp nse that is
now entai,ed in hauling such long
distances.
| Along the route of the propos d
road there is said to be much COM
plant. It is alleged by some that
the electric road will cut too much
off the county roads, and that teams
will be frightened by the passing
cars, at such close proximity. 1t
is the firm opinion OF County Judge
Waters that all territorial roads are
by law required to be SO, feet in
width, and this being the case, the
roadin question should be that wide
According to the information re-
ceived by Judge Walters, however.
the fact seems to be that in many
instances farmers have gradually
| appropriated to their own use
about 20 feet OF this road, leaving
it only 90 instead of so feet in width
The loudest walls, quently
are from these same persons, who
wish the 20 feet for themselves, but
are unwilling to share the roadway
with the new electric line, even
though the benefits that are to ac
ere are benefits that concern the
| farmers along the route. more near
ly than they concern almost any
one else.

Train to the Bay.

Train to the Bay.
w. c. Hoehein, conductor on
the c. & E. passenger train be-
tween this city and Yaquina, says
the Albany Herald of Thursday,
was yesterday married to Miss FL
va Aiken, at Salem, by Rev. P. S.
Knight, the veteran preacher. The
bride was formerly station sagent at
Philomath, but recently resignsd d
her position. The groom had
only a 24-hour layoff for the we'd
ding, and when he arrived here on
his bridal tour yesterday noon from
Salem, a few hours after he was
married, he dofed his dress suit
donned his uniform, and took his
train out on time, and few of the
passengers there knew that a
bridal couple was on board, and
that the smiling conductor was the
groom. The newly welded couple
will reside at Yaquina. They have
the best wishes of a large and ad-
miring circle of friends.

WHAT sHB IS DOING.
Not Boasting but Facts About the I'm
provements That are in Progress.

More people are taking an inter-
est in their town this year than
ever before. Mo people are
building than ever before. More
pc pie are painting their buildings
anew. more people are papering
their houses anew, more people are
cleaning up around their premises,
more people are building new walks
building additions. building barns,
building fruit houses chicken hous-
es, AMI porches., than ever before
during the same period of time in
the history of Corvallis.
Don't you believe it? Take a
trip about town with your eyes
wide open. Have you EVER seen
the like before since you came to
Corvallis. No matter if you were
born and reared here, did you ever
see the like? We venture to assert
that you never did.
Beginning only as far back as
the first of the year 1904, what a
vast amount Of progress has been
made. and is b ing made. Among
the new residences there is the M

ing, the Alva Miner house, to say
nothing of the Callahan cottage
on which work is just beginning,
and the Buxton dwelling for which
the foundation is now in course o1
construction.
Then in the way of remodeline
and repairing, notice the old Meth
odist church on North Main s'reet
that has been worked over into two
large and modern houses. Looi
down Fourth STREET where the ole
Evangelical church used to stand
and there is new residence in it
