NEW DWELLING ERECTED
IN THE MIDST OF RUINS
Frank Maskey Houses Family In
cozy-LookIng Cottage at Bush
and Leavenworth Streets

In the very midst of the ruined and
devastated district on Bush street,
near Leavenworth. stands a wooden
cottage. very coy and comfortable to
look upon. 1t was completed a few
days ago by Frank Maskey and here
he dwells In apparent peace and COM
fort with his family. The ground
around the house has been cleared of
debris and its occupants find easy en-
trance and exit to their new dwelling
place, the first of its kind in the dis
trict.
Maskey's idea will be followed out
by several other residents of the dis
trict who were burned out. Already
several of them are at work erecting
cottages on the ruins. It is expected
that within q week or ten days a
regular village will have been estab-
lished in the vicinity now that the
streets there are passaable.

HIS FUNERAL.
Last Rites Over the Remains
of J. C. Taylor.

Saturday aftsrnoon there was a
vast attendance at the funeral of
the late James c. Taylor. Out of
respect to his memory all business
houses were closed during the flu
neral ceremony, and in every. way
% ossible was shown the high esteem
in which Mr.. Taylor was held by
his fellow citizens, Before remov-
al from the Taylor home the cof
I'm rested in vast bower of floral
pieces brought thither by sympath-
izing friends of the city, county
and state, all being effective tokens
of regard for the deceased and the
bereaxed family. Rev. M. S. Bush
conducted the service and in his
sermon pronounced many words of
praise which found a heartily re-
sponsive feeling with the gathered
concourse. Friendship lodge A.
0. U. w. acted as an escort to the
remains to Odd Fellows cemetery
where, after a brief burial service
all that was mortal of James c.
Taylor. who was an exemplary
citizen in the broadeso sense, was
consigued to earth.

EARTHQUAKE DID 1T.
Increased Flow Of a Spring
Near Monroe.

Since the great San Francisco
earthquake, the doings of spring
in the vicinity near Monroe have
been a source Of wonder and sur
prise to people of the neighbar-
hood. It is a sulphur spring, and
several years ago was discovered by
Frank Williams on whose farm it
is situated. The farm is six or sew
en- miles south of Monroe. A long
time ago a pipe was sunk to depth
of a few feet and allowed to project
several inches above the ground.
Around this, cement was placed, so
as to force all the water into the
pipe. The flow was only sufficient
ior the water to rise gently to the
top of the pipe and flow lazily over
the sides. Williams had hoped that
the flow would be strong enough
for the water 10 come out with
something of a spurt, but in this
he was disappointed, until the
morning Of the great earthquake.
That morning a much stronger
how set in, and now the water flows
out with sufficient force to lift it six
or eight inches above the mouth of
the pipe, forming fountain. and
an incident of more than passing
interest. Many sight-seers who
have heard of the incident, journey
there now to see the spring.

NEW DOG IN TOWN.
How he won the Respect O
Local Ours.

There is new dog in town. He
came few days ago. His owner
is unknown, if he has any. This
animals characteristics indicatethat
he would not be owned or con-
trolled by any person, clique or cor
psration. He seems to be in favor
of a square deal for every dog, and,
apparently has the power to exact
it, especially so far as he is himself
concerned. He evidently has not
signed Statement No. I, But this
item must not be extended into the
realm of politics. The leading
thought is that when this dog made
his appearance in Corvallis, he was
subjected to the usual onslaughts
of the local CANNES, which take so
much delight in chasing thestrange
dog within our gates. But this
new dog has successfully called all
the bluffs which have been offered
up to date, and invariably goes
them a few better. A good many
owners OF Corvallis dogs have been
compelled to go to the rescue of
their pets when the new dog Sc
cures them in a death hold. All
the town dogs have learned to res
pect the stranger and it is positively
refreshing to witness the demure
manner of ours when the boss of
the street careless1y vends his way
along the walk. Surely, a good
way to maintain peace is to be fully
prepared for war.

SCIENTISTSSAY.
@Iook not Upon the Demure
Egyptian Mummy"

If bacteriologists do not soon
cease to make discoveries in their
realm OF research it surely will re
quire the worlds energy to fight
germs. 1t has been but a few years
since the unpretentious citizen
could go his way happily, but in
the present day he must go armed
and loaded down with all sorts of
complicated appliances with which
to defend himself and his possess
ions from the terrible microbe that
turks in every path of his life, in
every morsel of food that he eats;
in every drop of liquid that he
drinks; in every object that he
views. One would naturally think
that humanity might gaze with
safety upon an Egyptian mummy
which had lain for thousands of
years, but science now comes up
to warn US of danger in the exer-
else OF even this little pleasure. A
French scientist named Sorgnac
says: -.
''The great spread of tuberculo-
sis in America in the last 100 years
found its cause in the disinterment
ment and shipment broadcast over
the land, of the mummies which
had reposed so long in the tombs
ot the Pharaohs." The author of
of this theory is a recognized scient-
lists, being a lecturer at the Sar-
bonne in Paris, who was an inter-
ested visitor at the recent tubercu-
losis exhibit in Chicago. ut is
claimed that the tuberculosis germs
emanating from the mummies are
more deadlythan those of the spu-
tum of persons affected. dead
bodies may not secrete germs"
says the writer, ''but dead bodies
are undoubtedly a favorite 1odg-
ing place for the tuberculosis
bacilli.''
