Benton County Lumber co.

When it comes to a question of
s'doing things" of ''hustle" and
"hum' in transacting business
the Benton County Lumber Com
pany of Philomath, readily carry
off the palm. S. S. Ewing, the
accommodating manager is one
OF those far-sighted fellows, who
takes in the situation at a glance
and never conceives a false idea.
The Benton County Lumber
company have one of the very
best propositions in the state.
An inexhaustible supply of the
finest fir and cedar lies IN to the
east and south OF Mary's Peak.
Long before the present supply of
magnificent trees is exhausted a
new growth will have sprung up
to take its place. The company
has a mill right on the ground
turning out IS to 20 thousand
daily and steadily employing 80
men. A seven mile hume takes
the lumber On its long journey
and dumps it down at the plan
ing mill at Philomath. The water
of Mary's Peak cool and clear as
crystal is an inexhaustible res
ervoir for any demand. Citizens
of Corvallis may yet see the day
that the SHOWS of this peak will
furnish her drinking water.
The market for the output of
finished lumber is found right
here. 1t is purchased in Corvallis
Albany, Salem, and points west
on the c. & E, Independence,
Dallas and often large shipments
go to faraway points. The Ben
ton lumber is always clear and
in great demand and it is always
a pleasure to transact business
with men who are determined to
forge ahead. The planning mill
is one of the best equipped in the
state, supplying all kinds OF sea-
soned lumber ready to put right
into your house.
The Benton people carry a
regular ad in the GAZETTE, it is
found on the second page, it is
always right there. Look for it
and give the company a call. Mr..
Ewing will be glad to give you
any information you desire along
building lines. A card address
ed to the Benton County Lumber
company will reach the spot.
Advertising pays. Let the
people know where you are and
r what you have to sell.

More About Chittim.

J. D. Mann has just returned
from a trip to the lower Alsea
country where he has been COM
bining pleasure with the chittim
business. He built, with little
assistance, a, very commodious
cabin, cutting and peeling the
poles and carrying them from two
to three hundred yards. The
shakes with which the cabin is
covered were carried on horse
back nearly a mile. The cabin
is for S. ]. Mann, his son, who
has taken up a valuable claim in
that. section. Besides having
about six tons of chittim, it will
be, when cleared, a good stock
ranch. It is reached by going to
Tidewater, rowing down the Al
sea several miles, then up a small
river, four miles Oh a wagon road,
ane two miles on horseback.
Mr.. Mann's son is pee1ing
chittim regularly every day and
will have it. brought out and stored
here in Corvallis. It will cost
two cents pound to get it here.
Mr.. Mann says that buyers are
on the ground offering IA cents
a pound delivered at the depot
and there is strong talk of &c
cent chittim. The idea seems
to prevail that all or nearly all Of
the bark will be peeled this year,
but this is far from being the case.
Probably less than half the sup
ply will be peeled this year.

Officers Looking for Sewing Ma
chine Agent Price.

Considerable excitement pre-
vailed down at Abbot's iced barn,
Wednesday evening, over a sew
| ing machine that Mr.. Abbot had
taken from G. A. Price on liv-
erv bill, and had sold to another
party. Price, it appears, was
agent here last winter for the
Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany, having his home and office
in a building opposite the Farm
ers' Hotel. He kept his horse and
rig at Mr.. Abbott's barn and ran
up a bill amounting to $24:45.
This he could not pay but in
duced Mr.. Abbott to accept a
sewing machine as payment,
valued at $25. BY misrepresen-
tation Mr.. Abbott was induced
to sign a lease contract, Price
explaining that it was necessary
in order to keep his business
straight and promising to give a
receipt to Mr.. Abbott to show
that the machine was fully paid
for. This Price failed to do
although repeatedly requested to
do SO by Mr.. Abbott, putting
him off with one pretext and
another. Mr.. Abbott, thinking
that the machine belonged right
fully to him, sold it to Mrs.
Hanlison for SIS. Price, in the
meantime, moved to Linn coun-
ty but "Wednesday night he re-
turned to Corvallis with an ac-
complice aud while Mrs. Hami-
son was out, they entered the
house and took the machine
away, and taking it over into
Linn county and quickly dis
appearing. The authorities were
at once notified and Price is be-
ing sought for but cannot be
found.
There is no doubt about the
agents duplicity and he was
very unwise to resort to his final
method in securing the machine.
Price is known here as drinking
man and one who does uot pay
his bills. He was working under
another agent by the uame o1
Church at Portland. 1t is thought
that pressure was brought to bea,
upon Price to either produce the
machine or pay the money for it.
Mr.. Abbott is in peculiar
situation but there is no doubt
about his final justification II
the matter. He has sold a ma
chine that by the terms of The
contract he had no right but ye
he owned the machine as clearly
as is possible for anyone to owl
it and yet he could not show :
receipt from Price showing tha
it was paid for it. Mrs. Hamisor
is out her machine and will hole
Mr.. Abbott therefore. Price cal
be arrested on several charges
the principal one being that o
burglary.

PALM BEACH LETTER.

Marian Marne Tells of Bewildering
 Southern Toilets
 am just back from southern trip where I saw such bewildering array of exquisite styles that it is difficult to choose which ones to tell you about in my allotted space. I will however, contne myself to those that seem destined to take prominent place in milady's summer wardrobe.
 Pretty quaintness distinguishes many of the gowns, and picturesque old time effects and ball-like airiness suggest the old portraits after which many of these gowns are designed Hats match their gowns in color scheme, and parasols for dressy wear are rainbow like, and many of them tiny ones not over eighteen inches in diameter.
 Duck and pique are much used for morning wear, and are frequently trimmed with inserts of lace. Plaits skirts and short coats are extremely popular, while for the dainty blue and pink chambrey the shirtwaist body is much liked, and is usually accompan- jed by Panama or straw sailor adorn- ed with a coquettish bow of ribbon. and slightly raised on the left side by dainty bunch of flowers nestling under the brim.
 The Eton jacket suit depicted on the the left in my illustration exemplifies the popular box-plaited skirt. When carefully cut gored so that the plaits

are very narrow at the top. and gradu- ally broaden from top to bottom this skirt is one of the most graceful mod els. Made of an exquisite shade of earth brown Peau de Crepe, and worn with a boat-shaped and rose trimmed ecru chip hat, it makes an ex- cellent costume for spring and sum- mer wear.
 For afternoon concerts and driving I saw many exquisite cloaks of lace, chiffon, peau de crepe and the like, and one that was particularly attract i've was made of rich black bonnet silk-'sthe kind grandmother wore' This silk has that effective softness and silkiness that only the hand loom can give, and which made it pos sibIe in the olden days to hand silk garments down as heir1ooms, and in- deed the cloak saw at Palm Beach might have been an heirloom, so quaint and "old-timey'' it was.

A Quiet Summer
JULIA TRUxTT BISHOP
Copyright, 1908, by Daily Story Pub. co.l

NTE ARE fairly settled now, and as l am. Mamma is delighted with the little old sleepy town, and am delight ed that we are out in the country, and don't live in the town, and that we have pony and buggy and can drive to town when we like, and that we don't have to go there unless we really wish to go. Personally, I would be willing not to see a town again in a hundred years. I want to sit under the pine trees over on that hill, or lie in the hammock and read, and let the June sunshine soak in, all summer long.
 have just read that last line over It sounds poetical, but it won't be June sunshine after to-day. However, you know what mean.
 In other words, am going to take the rest cure, Nell, and when you see your little sister again you won't know her. Think of it-not a glimpse of pen and ink or of that blessed type writer, except the few lines am going to write you. No more of the coldness and indifference of the city-not even a thought of the faithlessness of those in whom I trusted. I am going to live with nature, and try to grow strong and we'll, and forget that I ever had a sorrow. |
 Oh, by the way, received letter from MT. Grosvenor this morning. He tries to explain that affair about the Ferrand girl at the Willougby recep- 4 I care? Really, the letter made me laugh. It certainly is absurd for him to think that it matters in the least to me what he does.
 This place is too delicious for letter writing. The hammock calls me.

Dear Nellie:

Dear Nellie:
 At least 16 women from town have driven out here to see us, and the things have learned! can't tell you all of them; but every woman has as- sured us that this is the greatest town for gossip that she ever saw, and from all of them, collectively, have gleaned the following facts: Mrs. Harrison considers herself the leader of society," fancy leader of Pineville society," but one who has been there and knows brought back the report that she wasn't much thought of'' back where she came from;" Miss Lawson is al- ways making herself of11cious about church work. but every one knows she is trying to catch the young minister: Mrs. May gave ten progressive euchres last season, and always got the conso- lation prize herself, and everybody said how funny 1t was that the consolation prize was invariably the handsomest of the lot; the whole town knew where Mrs. Stuarts new diamonds came from. for her husband was gambling every night in one of the rooms over his store, up to all kinds of unearthly hours.
 There-I am out of breath with mere ly thinking of them. Try to imagine the rest. J. G. has written another let ter. How l detest that man. since I

Before massaging the face the skin should be perfectly clean. Use the com plexion brush, with warm water and pure soap. When rubbing in cream always have all the motions upward and outward.

Do this always at night. Every morn ing bathe the face with very cold wa ter. drying with gentle pats with an old soft towel.

 Dear MT. Grosevenor:-T thought when wrote you last that had finish ed the correspondence but it seems must write again. I find it very irri- tating to have to assure you over and over that the incident you mention has made no impression on me-none what ever. Since you insist, however, will say again that I am not angry-that have nothing to be angry about-that you were perfectly at liberty to give your attention to Miss Ferrand or any other young lady. Is that satisfactory |? You have given the matter far more attention than it deserved.
 By the way, they talk, out in this country. I heard yesterday that was writing three letters a week to a gentle man in the city whose name was Gov ernor, which IS really close guess, for these people. Please don't write any more.

Dear Mr. Grosvenor:-I don't know why you should dwell upon the little incident at the reception, when have told you that had entirely forgotten 1t. Surely, you had 8 perfect right to take Miss Ferrand out to supper, even if her escort had not been called away and left her in your care, as you con- tinue to assert. She is 8 very beautiful girl. as every one knows. Please ac- cept my compliments on your evident good taste. There will be no need for me to write again, so I wilE say good by. With best wishes.

Dear Nellie:

Dear Nellie: July 5.
 One of our neighbors came to see us yesterday. She is Mrs. Ford, and she told us that Mrs. Jennings who lives on the other side of our place, is we1l-meaning woman. but very inn prudent in her goings-on with her hus- bands nephew, and there isn't any thing in the world wrong about her, but she ought to be more careful, be- cause people will talk-indeed, Mrs. Ford herself had heard them talking.
 As Mrs. Ford was going away Mrs. Jennings dropped by'' on her way from town and they met in the gate and greeted one another as sisters should. Mrs. Jennings told us after wards that Mrs. Ford was one of the best-hearted women she had ever known, but of all the housek Keepers! - and that the whole family were shift less, and If it hadn't been for the veg she believed in her soul they'd starve.
 You know I like this kind of life. It does seem so soothing and restful, just to lie up here and have nothing to do but to hear these people talk in this airy manner about one another.
 I have had another letter from Mr. Grosvenor. Did you ever hear of any, one being so persistent? It seems dif1- cult to convince him that I don't care to know him any longer. If he could only understand my complete indif- ference am sure he would not write again. j CATHIE.

MT. John Grosvenor,
 Dear Friend:-I have had no letter from you in days and days, and oven if I did ask you not to write. it shows that you were very willing to drop the correspondence You are developing your acquaintance with the pretty Fer rand girl, suppose. That Is the way with men-they are all alike. I would mt have dreamed few months ago that you would leave me agonizing out here in this wretched place, and not even take time to write an occasional letter. When see people hear gossip and scandal, and when don't see peo- pie l sit in the hammock and pity my self for hours at time.
 The latest scandal is about me. One of those good-natured friends Byron talks about came and told me. It seems that I was engaged to a really lovely man in the city, but was so naughty and indolent and so set up-though goodness knows what had to be set up about-that he broke the engage ment and won't make friends, though I have written him letter after letter begging and imploring him to be rec onciled.
 How can you be so haTd-hearted. lovely man? KATIE.
