A GRUESOME FIND
Remains of Unknown Man Dis
covered In Brush Thicket
Near Perrydale.

Hidden by a heavy growth of under
brush and partially covered with
moss, the remains Of human being
were discovered in pasture on the
Kenneth Campbell farm, three miles
northwest Of Perrydale, Monday. The
gruesome find was made by Andrew
Campbell, a son of the owner of th'
farm, and was at once reported tc
Coroner r. L. Chapman. The bones
found were those Of man, and were
scattered around in such manner as
to indicate that the body had been
torn to pieces by animals.
Coroner Chapman, accompanied by
DR.. B. H. McCallon and Eugene Hay
ter, drove out to the Campbell farm
Tuesday morning, and after summon
ing jury from among the neighbor-
ing farmers, went to the scene OF the
discovery, and held an inquest All
that could be found of the body was
the skull, thigh-bone and some OF the
bones Of the legs. The dead mans
hat and portion of his coat were
found near by, but the remainder of
the clothing had rotted away. The
bones were covered with moss, and
the hat and coat were moss-grown,
proving that the man had been dead
for several years. A silver watch in
fair state of repair was found near
the bones. Nothing was discovered
by which the remains could be identi-
fed, nor was there anything to
indicate how the man came to his
death. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict to the effect that the body
could not be identified and that the
cause of death was unknown, although
they we're inclined to believe that the
man had been a victim Of foul play,
as a perforation closely resembling
bullet-hole was found in the thigh
| bone.
The members of the jury were
Ralph Savery, Felix Comegys, @. W.
Black, Preston Lung, Melville Rich
ardson and NJ. Branson.

Results of Defective Vision.
BY DIR. AND Mrs. @. W. ROBERTS.

BY DIR. AND Mrs. @. w. ROBERTS.
An error in the retroactive quality of
the eye means a loss of brain strength
and loss Of brain strength means a
loss Of nerve power; loss Of nerve
power means the wrecking of the
whole nervous system or Of one or
more of 4he centers which control the
work of the internal organs, and
whereverkthe weak point is In tht
nervous system, whether it be tht
bronchial'tubes and lungs, the heart
kidneys, liver, stomach. etc, trouble
is felt at that point, and where such
disorders occur, a change Of climate
and medicines may for a time appar-
emily effect a cure, but the trouble will
return. Why? Because the cause is
not removed. Correct the errors of
refraction in the eye, and thus stop
the robbing Of the nervous system,
and it's strength returns so as to be
able to perform the functions of the
internal organs.
We have given years to the study of
the eye, and its relation to the
nervous system, and have yet to find
case Of nervous trouble that has
been cured by medicine.
There are other indications of re-
fractive errors, for cataract, granu-
lated lids and inhamed eyes and
lids are caused by eye strain, made in
the effort to get vision through i'm
perfect eyes If you are troubled with
headaches or nervousness, It's almost
absolute proof that your eyes are i'm
perfect.
Call and let us examine your eyes,
and let us explain to you how they
may be directly the cause Of your
trouble. We make no charges for our
examinations, which are made with
the most scientific instruments optical
science has been able to produce.
Office at Hotel Gail till February 18th.

WILL ADJOURN WITHOUT DAY
Oregon Legislature Will End Its
Work One Week From Today.

That the Legislature will adjourn
February II without day was indi-
Gated Monday night.at a conference
of the leaders of both houses. The
ruling sentiment was lsor ending the
work of the Legislature one week
from today, and lot one dissenting
opinion was expressed.
This means that thu Legislature
will not meet again in November an6
that it will not reassemble unless con.
voked by the Governor.
At the conference were President
Kuykendall, Speaker Mills, Senators
Hodson, Rand, Holman and Booth,
and Representatives Linthicum, Kay,
Vawter, Bailey and Bingham. That
other Legislators will concur in the
decision there seems little doubt,
therefore it appears settled that the
Legislature will not adjourn to any
set date.
In the past week members of the
Senate and House have been polling
the two chambers on the question Of
another session next Winter and were
understood to have found strong
sentiment for meeting again. Indict-
ment of Senator Mitchell was the real
cause Of the movement and the pro-
moters of the plan professed fear that
the outcome of the prosecution would
necessitate election Of another United
States Senator before the next Legis-
lature should meet. They desired the
Legislature to choose a Republican
instead of the Governor choosing a
Democrat.
But the men in conferen ce Monday
night decided that such action by the
Legislature would i'll become the Re-
publican members, that it would
set up prejudice to the damage OF
Senator Mitchell and the Republican
party, and that it would be a virtual
admission that the Legislature had
no faith in his innocence.
One of the important obstacles in
the way Of the plan to adjourn to a
fixed day was the possibility thatnone
of the acts passed at this session would
become operative until 80 days after
adjournment Of the second session ex'
cept acts which contained emergency
clauses, because final adjournment
would not take place until the end ol
the second session and the referendum
amendment says: Referendum peti
tions shall be filed with the Secretary
of State not more than 80 days aftel
the final adjournment Of the Legis
lature passing the bill on which
referendum is demanded"

CENTRAL TELEPHONE SERVICE
Mutual Telephone Companies Accept
Offer of Dallas Switchboard
Company.

Delegates representing the Mutual
telephone companies centering in
Dallas met at the courthouse Wednes-
day and decided to accept the offer Of
the Dallas Switchboard Company to
take charge Of the mutus' aqAEah-
board in this city. A COMMITTEES was
appointed to confer with che local
company, and satisfactory arrange
ment for handling the local business
of the farmer lines was soon reached
BY the terms Of the agreement, the
Dallas Switchboard Company will
take charge Of the central office in the
Wilson drugstore and will give day
service on week days and partial
service on Sundays for is cents q
month for each phone on the mutual
lines. The rate named by the local
company was highly satisfactory to
the delegates, and the acceptance by
the committee was ratified by a
unanimous vote.
w. HI. DeVarncy, agent Of the Inde-
pendent Telephone Company, operat-
ing a local exchange in Corvallis, was
present and submitted an offer to take
up the contract Of the Dallas Switch
board Company at any time when the
Independent company shall be able
to install local exchange, provided
that satisfactory arrangements for
the transfer can be made with the
Dallas company. Mr. DeVarney
says it is the desire Of his company
to establish an exchange in Dallas
if suitable encouragement is offered.
The company will ask that sufficient
stock be subscribed by local business
men and citizens to guarantee the
success Of the new exchange, and will
! also ask the council for permission to
erect poles, string wires, and do all
other things necessary in establishing
and conducting local telephone busl-
ness.
