Barney Casterline Again.

Barney Casterline, famous the
country over as a temperer ot
edge tools has bean living at
Bellfountain this summer but
will move to Portland in the
near future, where he will open
a shop and seek to dispose oil
some of his patents. He has just
sold one of his patents, con-
trivance for regulating the heat
of a room, for which he received
sum of money. Casterline is all
right and there is no discountine
his ability. AS past waster in
the art of welding and temper
ing he has no equal on the Pacific
Coast, if not in America. Dur
ing the summer he has been
receiving edge tools from differ
ent parts of the United States
and Canada from persons who
have heard of him and wish to
test his ability.
| Talk with Casterline about the
lost art of tempering copper and
he will show you tempered cop.
per equal to the best the ancients
produced that crumbles under
the hammer like other tempered
metals. Casterline makes and
tempers steel equal to the famous
Damascus blade of old. He takes
a common pen knife and so
tempers it that it whites iron
and will cut a hair without re-
sharpening. A common table
knife is tempered and sharpened
and drawn fifty times across a
stone, iron or any other hard
surface and will afterwards shave
the back of the hand.
The secret of it all, of course
lies in the chemical solution ia
which he immerses his metals.
He has three of these solutions,
but the price he asks for them
puts them beyond the reach of
ordinary mortals and he will
probably not reali much out of
his discoveries until he organizes
stock companies or sells on the
royalty plan.
That Casterline is a genius
there is no doubt and his friends
wish to see him succeed.

ment of Hollenberg & Cady and
this is but sample of what has
/ been going on for the past two
weeks. An immense amount o1
/ new winter stock has already ar
rived and there is as much more
on the way and will be here with
In the next few weeks.
This establishment occupies
three large store rooms and every
nook and Corner is packed to over
flowing with household goods. In
addition to this a large building
! on the opposite corner is used for
storing goods.
In the matter of carpets Hollen-
berg & Cady always lead. Their
line which heretofore has been
very complete has been increased
by the addition of large assort-
ment of the best Ingrains, Mo-
quets and BRUSSELS that the mar
ket produces.
Then again a new and con-
plete line of ooaches has been put
in. We are safe in saying that
these couches are the best and
finest that have ever appeared in
Corvallis.
The one thing that attracts
more attention than all things
else is the hne display of pictures.
This is the largest and finest as
sortment of pictures ever seen in
Corvallis, and no one should fail
to call and see for themselves.
Another attraction that is draw
Ing the attention of passers by is
a large consignment of Indian
baskets from northern New York.
Nothing equal to it has ever be-
fore been seen in this part of the
Valley, but Hollenberg & Cady
lead in all things and whatever
is up-to-date and substantial you
will find in their establishment.
In addition to the general stock
now on hand, 100 iron bedsteads
Of different designs will be here
in few weeks, as also a com
plete line of mattings and wall
paper. A new and complete line
of stoves, ranges and shelf ware
has also been added to their
stock. T.
A cordial invitation isextended
the public to call and see for
themselves.

In Army Circles.

Lieutenant Quinlan received a
communication yesterday from
the secretary of the war depart
ment at Washington, authorizing
him to divided the military forces
at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege into two battalions of three
companies each. This division
will place the Corvallis school on
an equal footing with the best
military schools in the United
States. There there are already
four companies above the regu-
lar army requirements. This
new order gives Mr.. Quinlan
authority also to appoint an extra
major and staff. The names of
the new officers will probably be
announced in a few days.
From now on the instruction
along military lines in OAC will
be almost precisely that of the
regular army service. A hospital
corps will be organized within
the next few days to give practi-
cal instruction in that line. This
instruction will include demon
STATIONS in first aid to wounded,
drowning, faintness, etc. Lect-
ures will also be giveu on mill
tary hygiene, taking up the sub
ject or proper food. water, cloth
ing, care of hands, hair and feet.
Beginning with next month the
ceremony of mounting guard
with band will commence and
continue throughout the year.

Tuesday while the pupils of the
public school were having their
usual recess, little Noma Stewart,
child Of Lafe Stewart, who lives
in the northern part. of town, re-
ceived injuries which was feared for
time might be serious. It appears
that some of the girls seized upon
the boys football. Immediately
there was a wild scramble for the
ball, in which a large number Of
the pupils participated. In the
headlong rush, Mona, who is but
II years old, in some manner was
thrown or possibly fell down, and
was stepped upon by small chill
dren. One of her limbs was uery
much bruised and her head receiv.
ed several minor contusions. The
child is rather delicate and the
shock and the pain of the bruises
caused her to faint. She was cared
for by teachers and scboolmates
until one of the boys procured a
buggy and che was conveyed home.
Fortunately her injuries were found
to be slight ana she expects to be
in school again soon. She is
bright and ambitious pupil and her
teacher, Miss Kyle, and her class
mates greatly esteem her and re-
joice that she escaped serious in
jury.

st. Louis, March 26.-The defense:
Of United States Senator Burton of
Kansas against the charge that he all
legally accepted fees from the Rialt0
Grain and Securities company of ST,
Louis to protect the interests Of the
concern in the postoffice department.
ut Washington was begun when the
United STATES district court recoa-l
vened for the day. .. .T.t-5-
\ On motion of Judge Krum, Senior,
counsel for the defense, and after
much argument, the court ruled that
as the third count in the indictment
alleges practically the same charges
as are made in the first the third count
be quashed. This leaves six counts
against the defendant.
= Thomas b. Harlan, attorney for the
Rialto Grain and Securities company,
was the first witness for the defense.
He told of the employment of Senator
, Burton and testified that in all his
preliminary talks he (Burton) laid
particular stress upon the fact that as
. United States senator he could not
undertake any duties derogatory to his
Office. Harlan denied that there ever
/ was a necessity for requiring any per-
son to represent the Rialto company
before the postoffice department and
said he had not mentioned to Senate.
Burton that the latter should appear
! before the department.

DENoukcEs SHIPPING BILL.
Minority Report Of House Committee
A., = on Merchant Marine. ,... Z.

q Washington, March 26.-The views
of the minority of the house committee
on merchant marine and fisheries on
the Frye shipping bill, prepared by
Representative Lucking Of Michigan
and signed by Representatives Spight,
Goulden. McDermott and Lucking, de-
clare the bill to be q, step in, the policy
of subsidizing our merchant marine,
for, which, for seven years, the most
active, persistent, influential and un.
blushing lobby has been pounding the
life out Of both branches Of congress.
The report says that outside of the
goods transported in vessels owned by
the government there was paid IN
freights for such carrying in the year
1901 $4,523,954 and that "this carry
ing is done principally to the Philip
pines-and, like the major portion of
all our war and naval expenditures OF
the present day--has been rendered
necessary by the i'll advised tsubjuga-
ton and retention of those islands .,.
The report says the bill is a. most
barefaced misappropriation Of public
moneys and adds: ~
''Of the seventeen vessels now en-
gagged in this traffic on the Pacific all
are manned exclusively Except Off
3cers) by Chinese sailors, who work for
about one-third or one-fourth the
wages that American sailors receive;
DO that the American sailors have
been completely, supplanted by these
Chinese in the very Pacific ocean com
panies who are pressing the bill ana
who are. in part, to get it's gratuitiss.
The report concludes: e, "
In some respects this bill is worse
shan any prom ounced subsidy measure
which has been advocated in congress
because 1t gives an absolute monopol,
