Pyne was an invaluable assistant.
In the adjustment of refractory can

He said it represented the effort of

Every time his vocabulary gave out he

"Oh,'' said Constance. that is neither

'Well," agreed Pyne slowly, that is
the view a friend of mine took of the
remark So he asked the professor if
he had a nice agreeable sort of defini-
tion, all ready for use, of the way Eng
lishmen clipped their syllables. The
other fellow allowed that he hadn't
pondered ON it. I guess said my
friend, it represents the effort of an
educated ass to talk English"
Though the laugh was against them,
they were forced to Singer approval.

SHOT A@BEAR.
And Laughed When it Rolled
Down Hill.

John Bauer recently had the
chance of lite time to distinguish
himself and he made the most of
| it. 1t is now settled beyond a
doubt that John is the aeetest foot
racer in Corvallis, if not on the
whole Pacific coast. 1t all hap
pened out on lone mountain
side, a mile from camp, last week
while John. lad of IS or 90,
was at Yachaats with his uncle,
Mike Bauer, the popular Corvallis
tailor.
Mike had gone fishing aud
John decided to 60 out for bear,
SO shouldering 22-rife he sal
lied forth. He went along whist
ling and finally up on the side of
the mountain be saw his game.
The 22 spit out a bullet and down
came Mr.. Bear, rolling over and
over, straight towards the hunter.
John stood still and smiled, and
as the bear kept rolling, the
smile developed into a chuckle
and the Corvallis boy slapped his
knee and shouted. "I've got him,
oh, I've got him" But alas for
the uncertainty of all things
earthly! BY this time the grizzly
had reached the foot of the hill
and then something dawned on
the sportsman. 1t was the tardy
idea that Mr.. Bear had simply
been rolling down hill to reach
him more quickly, and not be-
cause the little 2a had inflicted a
fatal wound, and as the hairy
form righted itself, scrambled to
its feet and made straight after
john, the latter let an ear-pierc-
ing shrek and bolted. The way
the slender youth cleared the
stumps and fallen trees, tore
through the underbrush, splashed
through creeks and flew along the
level stretches tor camp would
have turned Sprinter Floyd
Williams green with envy had he
been there. And at every step
young Bauer let yell that made
the hills echo, until the bear,
evidently satisfied that he was
out classed, gave up the chase and
took to the brush again.
John reached home Tuesday,
but he has hardly caught his
breath yet from his race, and
next time he !. hunts for grizzlies
be will not be deceived by any of
their fool antics, nor will he at
tempt to bag such game with an
air gun.

Broke Children's Bank.

A dirty sneak thief was abroad
in Corvallis last Thursday, which
was circus day in Albany. Or
there may have been more than
one of the sticky-fngered gentry
Sin" on the deal; but be that as
it may, one of the meanest tricks
was done in Corvallis that has
come to light in many day.
The three children of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. D. Campbell had saw
ings bank that had been On duty
about three years without having
been emptied. No one knew
just what amount it contained,
but the estimate is anywhere from
SIS to $50, principally in nickels,
dimes, pennies and half dollars,
with possibly gold piece.
Thursday the Campbells at
tended the circus in Albany,
leaving the doors at home un-
fastened. They returned that
night and next morning Mr..
Campbell found 80 cents in small
change near the chopping block
in the woodshed.
Further investigations resulted
in the finding of the door to the
savings bank. It was in the
yard and had been bent almost
double by blow from an ak.
Some small change was found in
the yard and a few coins were
picked up on the sidewalk. The
rest of the bank has not been
found and the money is gone.
Some one evidently familiar
with the premises and with the
fact that the bank was nearly full
and was soon to be opened, must,
it is thought, be the guilty parties.
Suspicious are entertained by Mr..
Campbell and the police, but
what the outcome will be, is of
course uncertain.
It is thought the job was done
by kids" and possibly by some
who have out grown their knee
pants.

Will Extend,

A dispatch sent out from AL
bany few days ago is as. fol-
lows:
That the Corvallis & Eastern
Railroad means business in it's
recent announcement that it
would extend the road from va
quina to Newport is demonstra-
ted by the fact that Manager
Guy V. Talbot yesterday went to
Newport to personally attend to
securing some of the right of
way. A sawmill company is said
to be placing blocks in the rail-
roads progress in this respect.
Though the proposed route of the
extension has not been determln-
ed, it is generally believed that
it will follow the bay as nearly as
possible the five miles to the
summer resort city. There has
been considerable speculation as
to the route. and it is having a
considerable effect on real estate
transfers at Newport.
For the last few weeks there
has been a boom in building sites
in Newport and the hill which
lies between the town and the
big Summer settlement near the
beach. The announcement that
the road was to be extended has
stimulated the already active
market.
If the extension should enter
Newport via Nye Creek it is pre-
dicted that the big hotels and
business houses would all have to
move, as the town now exists, it
is claimed, practically as a base
i Of supply for the big city of Sum-
mer cottages at Nye Creek. But
if the road reaches the resort via
Newport, and does not go over
to Nye Creek, there will be no
change in the present situation.
The real estate market is thus
affected.
The extension of the c.. & E.
will indeed mean greater things
for Newport. The new road
now stops at Yaquina, and it is
necessary to make the remainder
Of the trip by boat. This natur-
ally necessitates considerable
trouble and delay.
