Thought He Was Shot.

1t isn't safe now days to ask N
A. Fisher, the new piano man, if
Corvallis mountain water is cold,
nor if he believes the pressure in
the pipes amounts to anything.
The aversion Mr.. Fisher has to
a discussion of this sort is such
as anyone might feel after having
an experience such as befell this
worthy gentleman, a few days
ago.
1t happened at the Liucoln
Chambers home, in the northern
part of this city, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Fisher board. Mr.. Cham
bers' son came bone a few even
ings ago after the family had re-
tired, and for some reason struck
a match to look under the couch
for his violin box. Instantly the
fringe on the couch blazed up and
spread to the wall paper, and see
ing that the fire would soon be
serious the young man called for
help and ran to turn on the wat
er.
Mr.. Chambers got the hose and
came in to train it on the blaze
but ere he got there the water
was turned on by the frightened
boy. Just at this unlucky mo-
ment Mr.. Fisher, aroused by the
racket, opened door and rushed
forward. He had not st ,pped to
dress, and as he sailed in, the full
volume of water shot through the
hose, striking Mr.. Fisher square
ly in the pit of the stomach. 1t

in there is money.
Mr.. Beal was in Corvallis this
week and in conversation with a
friend mentioned a few facts that
go to show that the money in
Willamette Valley farms lies in
turning them into chicken ranch
es, sheep and swine pastures and
dairy farms.
The gentleman mentioned had
last year to begin with I3o head
of sheep. The increase for the
year and the wool clip cleared
him 5000, and he still has the
13o head of original stock for
which he has an offer of IS per
head.
Besides his sheep, Mr.. Beal
has $50 Brown Leghorn hens that
bring in a handsome income, and
he has lately received an offer
from Portland for fresh eggs at
2H cents per dozen above the
market price, the crates to be re-
turned free of charge to him.
Thoroughbred Berkshire hogs
are also an asset in this business
enterprise, and 80 head of them
are now being tattened by the
owner, for market.
While Mr.. Beal is young
man and has been farming only
a few years, he is certain to be
heard from in future as one of the
leading ranchers of Benton, for
he has certainly struck the right
line for making a farm 'pay."

and secured and read some of the
excellent literature put out by
the Citizens League and Benton

with a view to locating, and also
visited Polk county towns for the
same purpose, only to decide that
Corvallis is the best place he has
seen, and the most attractive.
The result is that Corvallis is
