MRS. LILLY PURDY.
Young Wife and Mother Passes Away
at Afsea.

After a protracted illness, Mrs.
Lilly Purdy died of consumption in
Alsea last Monday, in her 23rd
year. She leaves a husband, Har-
Wy Purdy, two small children and
a brother, Walter Brown,
Deceased was born and reared in
A1sea valley and her remains were
placed beside those of many re1a-
tives in the A1sea country. Mrs.
Purdy's parents were Mr.. and Mrs.
R. S. Brown. Her mother was the
daughter of an esteemed pioneer.
John L. Banton, who resides on
his homestead in the southern por-
ton of the valley. Mrs. Brown
died of consumption when Lilly
was an infant, and thereafter the
latter made her home with her
grandparents. Lilly's father taught
school in various localities in Ben
ton county, and while engaged il
this capacity in the Barclay settle
ment in Lower Alsea, he was killed
by a Landslide which demolished th<
Robert Barclay home. in which he
was passing night. This occurred
in February 1890, and many Alses
residents have ample reason to re
member the terrors of that awfu
night.
Mrs. Purdy was in every way
=, most agreeable and well disposed
lady. Although she seemed to ev
er feel the gloom of orphanage ye
she enjoyed the pleasures of a gooe
home, and the devotion of many
friends. She was greatly attached
to her husband and children ane
the bereavement of these was he
greatest regret upon the approach
of dissolution.

INVESTIGATING BENTON.
Government Inspector Delying Into
Records Of Timber Land Trans
actions.

IS there trouble ahead for some
of those who recently took up tim
Der claims in Benton county, and
is somebody is to suffer by reason
of the practices resorted to in Sc
curing title to the lands? Were
the methods employed in any in
stances, out of harmony with gov
ernmental requirements, and if so
to what extent, and what will be
the penalty? These are questions
that are being quietly asked about
Corvallis by few persons who
are familiar with the fact that the
late timber claim operations are un-
fder close scrutiny by the Interior
department, The most of this
week a government inspector has
been delving into the records at the
court house, looking into, and fol-
lowing up the various processes by
which something like 100 persons
mostly non-residents, recently OBJ
tanned title to timber claims in Ben
ton county.
The inspector is Ira Nelson, who
served term as county clerk of
Yamhill, but who for the past year
has been an inspector in the EN-
p1oy of the federal government.
He arrived in Corvallis Monday,
and save an absence of a day has
been continuously at work On the
records ever since. What his in
vestigations have brought out, or
, whether. they have resulted in the
securing of evidence that will make
serious trouble for any of the tim
Der claimants, is not known. Fol-
, obvious reasons Mr.. Nelson makes
no condolences with anybody con
corning his errand, but it is defn.
!, itely known that he is on the trail
of the timber land operators, and
that in Benton, some things have
, happened that are not in harmony
! with the governments ideas oi
t eternal fitness and legality under
r the new regime. One of the queer
things that is leaking out withres
. pect to timber matters, is thai
on a great number of claims taker
. up, others than the claimants them
selves are paying the taxes. Mean
time, however, no deed conveying
+ the claims to the persons who pay
/ the taxes has been placed of rec
a ord. Four Corvallisites hold sucI
' claims. The outside parties who
= pay taxes on these claims are foul
, in number. What might grow out
+ of these incidents when the claim.
ants and the men who pay the tax
! es on the land get before the feder-
; al grand jury, are of course guessed
4 at by people who know of the facts
It is told now that during the
, heighth of the timber excitement,
operators who came to Corvallis en-.
+ deavored to interest local citizen.
! to take up claims in the Blue
: mountains, all in anticipation,
doubtless, of the proposed Forest
: Reserve. One citizen so approach
2 ed was told that if he would take
! up a claim, that all his expense:
: would be paid and that $500 woulo
be given him for the claim .afte:
t title was secured He did not bite
e neither did another citizen who wa
+ approached on the same scheme
The wonder now is, if any of th
O timber operations in Benton in
\ volved similar methods, and if so
e how many? Also, what will be
d the outcome? The sequel is watch
: ed with interest.

FILLING THE SCHEDULE.
One More Meet Added for Corvallis
Track and Field Season Coming on.

Another date has been added to
the schedule for the field and track
meets at OAC. The team is Col
umbia University, Corvallis, the
place, and May 9th, the time. The
dual meet with the University of
Oregon has been fixed to take place
at Corvallis, May 27th. On May
goth. or thereabouts, at Corvallis,
occurs a big meet with the Univer-
sity of Washington. The only va
cant date in the month is May I3th
and Manager Stimson expects to
schedule an event for that time,
possibly with Willamette Univer-
sity. The date for the state meet
is likely to be fixed at June srd, at
Salem. Forest Grove would not
meet OAC, because the1atter would
not give that team either the goth
or 27th as a dating, and it seems
unlikely that the Pacific men and
OAC will engage in dual meet
this season. They will, however,
come together in the state meet at
Salem.
Trine's men will have their first
tuss1e of the: season on April 18th.
That will be an indoor meet given
by Columbia University at Port
land and open to all colleges. The
men are now hard at work, and
will present fairly formidable
front by the time the meet IS due.
