A Queer Freak.

1t is an old saysig s'that there
is nothing new under the sun, -
but this is some times proved un-
true, as was demonstrated irnCor-
Wallis this week. That nature
does strange things, some times,
is well known, and the fact was
shown in a specimen brought to
town Monday by John Porter,
who resides ten miles south of
Corvallis and sent on to Portland
Tuesday to be placed in Benton's
exhibit at the Lewis aud Clark
Fair.
This specimen was a section of
an oak tree, two feet ia length,
aud 10 inches in diameter. On
one side of the oak tree is the
butt of pair of deer antlers
still attached to a portion OF
the skull. Straight through the
center of the tree, as was shown
by cutting into it, went the deer
antlers, and on the other side OF
the oak the antlers projected from
three to four inches, the sap of
the tree having been removed.
All around the antlers, which
had several prongs, the oak was
solidly grown, showing no break
Of any sort.
The supposition of those who
saw the section of tree is, tha,
many years ago a deer probably
became entangled in a young oak
tree, and being unable to extri.
cate itself, died there. The an.
tiers remained firmly lodged il
the limbs, and in time the sturd,
oak grew entirely around the an
tiers, making them a part of the
tree itself.
Mr.. Porter found the tree or
his ranch ten years ago, but only
cut it down last week to bring
| the peculiar section to Corvalli.
to send to the Fair.

Fell Off the Peak.

Parties who were on Marys
Peak last Sunday report to have
discovered the carcasses of three
cows that 'fell off the Peak. !"
The animals belonged to John
Wyatt. At present he has about
200 head OF stock grazing upon
this mountain. He uses the
mountain for summer range.
On the south side of Marys
Peak there is a very steep. rocky
slide of $50 feet and the animals
evidently ventured too near the
top and got started down. By
the time they reached the bottom
they were sliding so rapidly that
they were killed on landing sud
denly.
On the west slope OF the Peak,
not far from where Big Elk heads,
there is a slide of some 200 feet
and very steep. Nearly every
year deer is reported to have
taken the slide only to meet death
at the bottom. On one or two
occasions bear has met his
sever lasting" on this slide.

considerable trouble in the mat

Since the above incident Chief
Lane has been very active in his
efforts to find a suitable place for
city use as a bone-yard. Tues
day he concluded arrangements
whereby the city need not be
embarrassed further in this mat
ter. An agreement was reached
with John Beach for a plot of
ground on his farm across the
Willamette river from this city.
The place selected is about a
half mile below the ferry.
According to the agreement
reached by Chief Lane, represent

for burial can use the spot select.

above mentioned make applica-

this permit the party attempting
to use the ground set aside by
Mr.. Beach as a bone-yard will be
prosecuted for trespass. It is
we'll for all parties to bear ir
mind the conditions of this
agreement.

POST ROUTE ON A RIVER.
Boats in the Service on the Thames
Receive Mail from the End
of Boat Hook.

1t is probable that London has
the distinction of being the only
port where the ships lying at an
chor are privileged to have their
letters delivered to them by river
postmen, it being customary at
other ports for sailors to apply
personally for their letters unless
the ship is in dock. The Thames is
divided into two postal districts,
each under the control of a river
postman, who delivers letters and
parcels every morning in a craft
which resembles a fishing boat
more than anything else. Of these
districts the first extends from
the custom house to LiGehouse and
the second from Linehouse to
Blackwell. The river postmen
start on their rounds punctually
at eight o'clock every morning,
and, needless to say, there is only
one delivery a day. The mail bag
may include as many as 500 let
ters, but this number is largely
increased about Christmas time.
AS he glides from ship to ship, the
postman calls out: "Ahoy, there.w
and hands up the letters attached
to boathook to the waiting crew.
It only takes from four to five
hours to deliver the mail, so that
the postman does not waste much
time In foggy weather, however,
it takes considerably longer, ow-
ing to the difficulties of finding the
various ships, and of steering be-
tween the large vessels as they lie
at anchor.

Baseball Tomorrow.

Arrangements have been COM

the College Athletic grounds to-
morrow afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
The crack nine from the Siletz

up an exhibition of baseball that
will be well worth seeing.
Good baseball is something that
has not been witnessed in our city

Emery has picked out a team
from ame ng our best local talent
that IN recent years has proved
itself to be hard to beat.
Reab and Colbert alternate as
pitchers; young Chambers, a 1o-
year old boy, catches, and his
work is unusually good. -Pilking-
ton, of football fame, guards the
initial sack; little Swami, the
basketball crack, covers second,
and Ed Pratt at 3rd is in the same
class. The work at short is COW
cred by Cronise and Colbert,
forming with the others an in
field that seldom lets a ball 60
by, and whose throwing is swift
and accurate. Butolph, Reab
and Ready have been playing
the field and are all sure on long
fly hits and strong at the bat. F.
c. Simpson, the we'll known ath-
letic manager, who is also a crack
baseball player, is practicing
every evening with the boys and
will play in Saturdays game,
just where has not been decided.
One week ago last Sunday Cor
wallis and Siletz played game
at Newport that was pronounced
a trailing game from start to
finish" !" The final score was 7
to 6 in favor of Corvallis. Last
Saturday our boys played a pick
ed nine of crack players at the
seaside a to game. These
performances prove that they

the well known team from Siletz
against them, Saturdays game
will certainly be we'll patronized.

Laid to Rest.

The funeral of Miss Emma
School occurred at the family
residence in Jobs addition Wed
nesday morning at 9 o'clock.
But short sermon was held here
and then the body was taken to
Pine Grove church where an ap-
proriate sermon was preached and
where in the cemetery adjoining
the 1nterment occurred.
At the home were gathered
neighbors and friends aud also a
number of the college girls among
them those who were classmates
of the deceased. The girls also
served as pail bearers in Corval-
lis.
After a drive of 13 miles to
the church, at 1890 p. IN. a me-
mortal service was held at which
a large number of the relatives
and friends had gathered to pay
their respects to the memory OF
the dead. following the services
in the church the casket was car
ried by six stalwa1t young men
and the procession headed by
eight young ladies bearing flowers
proceeded to the family lot in the
|
cemetery adjoining where the
concluding services were held.
The many flowers at the home
and also at the church spoke the
high esteem in which Miss En-
ma was held by all who knew
her. She was one of ten chi
dren born to Mr.. and Mrs. C.
Schoel who remain to mourn her
loss with the exception of one
brother who lies beside her in
the burial lot. One brother, Mr..
Edwrad School and family and
two sisters, Mrs. Alwena Luther
and Mrs. Florentine Vossliveing in
Albany; two brothers, Henry and
Charles, with their families live
at Halsey, and the remaining
three brothers live at home.
The deceased was born in Craw-
ford, county, Iowa, December q,

by rheum atism from which she
suffered several months ago.
She belonged to the Lutheran
church as do all the other mem
bers of the family. For part oi
last year she was a student ol
lOAC. The family wish to thank
the friends and neighbors fol
their kind sympathy and help il
their bereavement. The service:

BENEFITS LATER.
What Will Result From the
Exposition.

There is some little talk in
smaller towns of Oregon that the
Fair will be an assistance to Port
land but is a drain on various
sections of the state. This argu-
tnent is based on the assertion that
all who can scrape together mon
ey to the extent of SIS or $40 GO
10 Portland to visit the E,xposi.
ton and 60 home broke. This it
is claimed makes times a trihe
hard in the smaller cities of the
state.
While there may be a deal of
truth in this argument, there are
certain phases not taken into ac-
count. George A. Waggoner,
author of "Stories of Old Or
egon, "is a pretty keen observer;
he returned a few days ago and
states as fact so far as his MUD is
concerned that within the next
two or three years the outlying
districts will receive the fruits of
the Fair.
He says there are many men
in Oregon today who hail from
the East and who are quietly
summing up the situation out on
this coast. Not alone is Oregon
to profit by the Fair-California,
Washington and other sections
will profit by it. These quiet
guests, these observers, are pleas
ed with what they have seen
they like the country, the eli.
mate, and believe'in the state as
to its future. They are here al
present simply on a tour of in.
vestigation. They still have
property and farms throughout
the East and ere coming Wes1
must dispose of this property. Il
will be a year or more before they
are prepared to bring their tami
lies to the Pacific slope.
Some of these men have al
1eady invested and their mouey
will assist in the up building anc
development of Oregon's resour
ces. Mr.. Waggoner draws atten
ton to an industry of great i'm
{ portance and value soon to be de
veloped on Coos Bay-a plant fo1
the manufacture of cement. l
is claimed that here are found il
4 abundance all raw material fo
cement and in such quantities a.
to supply the entire coast.
Another man is looking int,
tue possibility OF large plan

i, locality in Oregou) for the manu-
facture of pitch, tar, turpentine

EXPOSITION ITEMS.
OF Interest to Benton County
People by Special
Correspondent.

The gorgeous splendor of the
Fair grounds at night is picture
that must be seen to be appre-
Grated. 1t is hard to decide from
what point the best view is to be
had. Whichever way you look
the scene is one of unparalleled
magnifcence. In the center rises
the vast dome of the Agricultur-
al palace, a mass of living light.
To the left the Foreign building
with its brilliant towers flaming
against the dark sky beyond,
with the brilliant sunken garden
between. Farther to the left the
Oriental and Forestry buildings
glitter and flash with their thou
sands of sparkling dots of in
candescent lights. To the right
the palmer hues of lights on the
Manufactures and Machinery
buildings, make the southwest
corner as light as day. The
smaller buildings do their share
in helping out the brilliant pic
ture, and the clustered domes Of
the Missouri and Cash Register
buildings shine like diamonds in
a monarch's crown. In the dis.
tance the tall bright towers OF
the Government building, serve
as fitting background. Off to
the left the Trail is a mass of
flashing light, fanked On either
side with the Lake Shore
Esplanade, and in front the long
brilliant arches of the Bridge of
Nations. Farther off to the left
the American Inn completes a
picture of incandescent glory,
brilliant and sparkling beyond
the power of the Imagination to
conceive. The tabled splendors
of Solomon's Temple and the
palaces of the Arabian Nights
pail into insigni6cance besides
these wonderful achievements oil
the twentieth century. AS the
hour of half-past eleven ap-
proaehes the lights become a
dull red. clearer in outline, bu1
gradually fading, until when the
half hour is reached all disappear
and darkness reigns supreme.
Last Sunday was Catholic Day
at the Fair, and the principa
feature was the service held il
the Auditorium, where Father
Sherman, son of the late Senate
Sherman, presided. The hal
was crowded to the doors, ant
the large audience was delighted
That the opening of the Trai
on Sundays is step in the righ
direction, and that it meets tn
approval of the citizens of Port

tendance last Sunday. Whil
the average attendance of th
previous Sundays since the Fai
was opened has not reached 1000
the crowd on the goth equale
the average weekday attendance
being 13, 200. This shows cor
