Who Will Win?

Two Benton county girls are
bending every energy these days
to the task of securing subscrib-
ers for the Pacific Northwest,
the reward for the largest list be-
ing a free trip to the jamestown,
Virginia, expositi N next May.
The contestants are Miss Aida
Metcalf and Miss Anna French,
who have been endorsed by the
Benton County Citizens League.
Miss Gretta Harrington was one
of the first to enter the race, but
she decided to give it up and her
place was taken by Miss Metcalf,
who IS doing splendidly in spite
of her late start. The subscrip-
ton price of the Pacific North
west is SOC per year, or three
years for 81. Each subscription
counts one in the contest, there
being no "point' system to the
arrangement.
One young lady from each
county in Oregon will go on the
free trip, and each winner will
carry literature from her own
county, and do all in her power
to advertise at jamestown the re-
sources and attractive features OF
her particular section of Oregon.
1t is to the best interests oi
every farmer, every business man
and every loyal citizen to sub.
scribe for this magazine which
is published in the interests o.
the West exclusively, and to aid
in sending a suitable representa-
tive from Benton county to the
! big exposition.

Burned His Grain.

A breeze of excitement swept
over the town Saturday afternoon
when phone message announced
that OF Wilson's wheat6eld was
on fire and that fears were enter
tanned that the handsome coun-
trv residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson would 60 up in smoke.
A number of men were sent to
the scene by August Fischer,
and several others hurried out
from town, and by hard work the
flames were soon under control.
Fortunately the Roy Rickard
thresher was in operation in a
nearby field, while the Bodine
hay baler was running in another
close at hand. The two crews
went to the fire and to their time
ly aid Is probably due the triumph
over the conhagration.
In the field that was fired there
was a pile of grain, including
Io5 sacks OF wheat and 80 sacks
of oats. The flames swept over
these, burning the sacks entirely
off, excepting so sacks of wheat.
The grain was somewhat charred
but is not thought to be seriously
damaged.
Besides this quarter of a mile
of fence was consumed by the fire
and the straw stack went up ir
smoke. The damage, however,
was trihing, and the affair Ger
tainly ended we'll. The origir
of the fire is unknown.

What is 1t?

This is a question that is asked
by some in regard to new house
that is about completed out on
what is known as the Johnson
tract OF land, about ten miles
southwest of Corvallis.
The house is not of the ordi-
nary sort, but is large and roomy
and finished in fine style. 1t is
said that $4,000 shingles will be
required to cover the building,
which gives some idea of the
size.
This tract of land was pur-
chased about year ago by R. S.
Hughes, of Portland. It seems
that there are 1900 or 1900
acres in the tract, and according
to report a wire fence is to be put
around the place. In winter it
is said that feed will be put out
for ducks and other wild game
and that no hunting will be al
lowed, which fact leads to the

escaped destruction. The fame:
ale running eastward on both
sides of the North Santiam river
from ridge TO ridge, through :
canyon a mile wide, and a branch
OF the big fire is running up the
Breitenbush river. 1t is the
worst FIRE ever experienced in
that part Of the mountains, and
nothing butrain can stop it.
The fire started Saturday alter
room and swept four miles OF
timber in two hours. Every,
thing in the station OF Berry,
near the mouth of the Breiten-
bush river was soon destroyed
except the big hotel. The build
ings burned include a store, some
dwelling houses, two old saw
mills, not in use, and bunch Of
deserted houses and cabins form
erlv used by logging camp.
Famed by strong wind, the
flames ran straight toward the
town Of Detroit. the terminus OF
the Corvallis & Eastern, and
village of 200 people. The town
is surrounded by a large clearing
and this saved it, but for hours
smoke was so thick in Detroit
that one could not seen twenty
feet, and the citizens had hard
fight for their homes.

A Terrible Accident.

Clifford Nye, OF Bellefountaiu,
met with a shocking accident
Friday morning, which may yet
prove fatal.
Mr.. Nye is single man, and
nas been employed with the
lKyle-Persinger-B Belknapthresher.
The machine was at work in the
Belknap settlement. and early
Friday morning Mr.. Nye was
sitting on the engine, putting on
his shoes. Something caused
him to jerk his foot, by which
he lost his balance and tell,
alighting on a blunt piece OF
iron which penetrated the groin
20 depth OF three inches.
DR.. Bennett was summoned,
and the injured man was remov-
ed to the Bradley home, where
he is resting comfortably. The
physician stated that mad the
iron gone a half inch deeper
death would have certainly re-
suited.
Mr.. Nye has a brother residing
in the mountains about eight
miles southwest of Belleiountain,
and as soon as he is able to be
moved he will be taken 10 his
brothers. home.
1t is thought the injury will
not prove serious, unless blood
poisoning results, but it is little
short of miracle that the young
man was not killed.

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE.
People Flee While Stricken City
Burns.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE
city Of Valparaiso, the metropo-
lis of Chill, was destroyed BY
earthquake last night. Fires
Immediately burst out in score
of places and are raging un-
checked among the ruins Of the
city. Hundreds of people met
death in the crumbling buildings
and the loss of life is appalling.
Along the narrow strip of shore
on which the business part of the
seaport was built and upon the
steep hillsides where clustered
the thousands of villas and homes
the devouring flames are still
consuming the fragments of state
ly structures that but Yesterday
were the pride of Chilli. It is a
repetition OF the San Francisco
disaster. Panic reigns among the
inha bitants who are madly flee
ing iuso the hills.
The earthquake was felt in all
South American cities, and it is
feared that many remote towns
have suffered extensively. 1t
was heaviest along the west
coast, Valparaiso suffering worst.
At Washington the seismograph
was violently agitated for four
hours. The tremors were slow,
covering from eighteen to forty
seconds and finally ceased about
midnight, but indicated the sew
crest disturbances OF the earth's
surface since the San Francisco
quake. Practically every build
ing in Valparaiso was severely
damaged, many of the palatial
government structures being de-
molished. The quake began IN
the early evening and the shock
continued at frequent intervals
throughout the night. Cable
operations have been interrupted,
but are now restored. All night
flames ragged among the ruins
and hundreds of the dead and in
iured were burned where they
lay pinioned beneath the debris.

Fat al Accident.

Horace B. Gedding, aged IS
years, shot and killed himself al
Shotpeuch, Saturday morning.
With Mrs. Pittman, young
Gedding was in search of the
cows that had strayed away in
the mountains. With a shot gun
in one hand he made his way
through the underb1 ush and over
logs, until suddenly in drawing
the gun over log there was a
deafening report, and the boy
fell, the blood gushing in tor
rents from the right side of the
neck which had been completely
torn away by the load OF shot.
Without a word or struggle the
injured lad Law where he tell un-
til death resulted from los OF
blood.
Horace Gedding was living
with his brother, his parents be-
ing in Aberdeen, South Dakota.
The elder Gedding is a land
speculator and recently purchas-
sd 5000 or 5000 acres OF land be-
tween Corvallis and Yequin4.

Might Have Been Serious.

An accident that might have
had a most serious termination
occurred on Main street Saturday
morning. E. R. Rice and wife,
lately from California, were rid
ing along in a carriage and when
opposite the place where work
men were engaged at the task of
tearing down the old building
occupied by the Centennial Meat
Market something frightened the
animals and they SHE'D suddenly
and broke the carriage tongue.
In an instant the mischief was
to pay; the frightened horses be-
gan kicking and attempted to
run. Mr.. Rice kept his head
and did his best to control the
excited animals until several by
ISLANDERS went to his assistance.
Finally, after quite a struggle,
the horses were subjugated with
out greater damage than broken
buggy tongue. Mrs. Ri>e pass
ed through the ordeal with the
appearance of outward calm, but
quilted the carriage at the first
favorable opportunity. 1t was
fortunate that the outcome was
not more disastrous.

The OVERLY CURIOUS.
Attend Funerals as PaStime and
Ask Questions That Offend.

You find them in every avenue
of lite, the people whose bump
OF curiosity is abnormally devel-
oped, who meet you with ques-
ton and leave you with a ques-
ton, while all their conversation
is punctuated with Interrogation
points.
These people do not stop at the
ordinary affairs and happenings
of life, but they pry and question
onisubjects that are not,.a particle
of their business; if they fail in
one question they come at you
from another quarter; they ask
about your business affairs, the
price of your hat, what you paid
for your dressgoods, the sort of
shoe polish you use, how much
your false teeth cost, what size
shoe you wear, if your husband
or wife is agreeable to get along
with; how much you spent at
the coast, how old you are and
of what nationality-in short,
they pry into your private affairs
much as hungry flea bores for
blood when he lands on the hu-
man anatomy in dog days, and
their attack is just about as un-
comfortable.
This is vulgar curiousity, and
it is certainly bad enough, but
some people go still farther and
carry their over-developed nerve
even into the sacred presence of
the dead, intruding in the hour
of deepest heart-anguish, and
thrusting themselves to the front
at the very brink of the grave.
the TREND or neighbor who
goes in spirit of love and help
fulness to offer assistance in the
hour OF sorrow and death is a
boon to humanity and such are
not the ones referred to in this
article. Rather isIit the one who
goes to see and to find out, that
she may tell her neighbors later
just what was done, and how the
family acted; what the mourners
wore and how long the preacher
prayed, who brought flowers and
lust how the choir performed.
Then, at the grave, these curl
osity fends crowd to the very
edge of the circle and with eyes
that see everything. stare first at
one and then at another of those
whose hearts are almost breaking.
Do you think the picture over
drawn? Do you doubt that snch
people reside in Corvallis, and in
every other town on earth, for
that matter? Then you are mis-
taken, for they are ever present.
There are those who never miss
a funeral if it is possible to go,
and why? Not from love for hu-
manity, but from vulgar curios-
ity, for iugmany cases they have
nothing in common with the af-
fiicted family and do not even
have a speaking acquaintance
with the members, usually be-
longing to an entirely different
class.
There seems to be no remedy
for the aggravatiou, unless some
one has the temerity to sometime
inform these haugers-on that their
presence is offensive in the hour
of trouble.

company win go down into their pock-
cts and dig up s14s.O0O. the amount con-
tributed to the political campaign funds
in 1896. 1900 and 1904.
This is one of the first fruits Of And
rev Hamilton's attack on the trustees
in his Albany speech.
It was planned originally by the trls-
tees to hold the estate Of John A. Nc
Call responsible for all Of the political
contributions and to bring legal actions
against it to obtain reimbursements.
This plan was abandoned after a con-
ference, at which it was decided that
the trustees were cognizant of the po-
nlcal contributions and therefore re-
s0onsible.
Another surprise in insurance circles
came when It was learned that John A.
Mccall dictated a statement on his
deathbed exonera ting Andrew Hamil-
ton. This statement was directed to the
trustees and was dictated two days be-
fore his death, and after the last rites
Of the church had been administered to
hisss-
In the statement Mr.. Mccall said he ap-
prectated that he was nearing the end. and
that he knew some questions in regard to

gone He desired that there should be alb
soluteiy no NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on this
matter. E1amdlton's contract with him. he
said. provided specifically that no dstail-
ed vouchers for payments should be re-
quired and that it was on that basis and
strictly within the terms OF that contract
that his work was carried on.
The statement was read at a meeting OF
the board of trustees and spread on the
record.
Hamilton is coming to the city this week
and his friends believe he will fire his sec
ond gun against the New York Life trus-
tees while he is in town. They believe
Hamilton may do this before the Fowler
