Saturday evening lightning struck a
shock of wheat on the farm of Joseph
| Yates, in Linn county, three miles east
of this city, and set it on fire. There
| were 55 acres of wheat in the field, ali in
| the shock, and b1t for the quick work of
| the men who chanced to see the light
ming strike it might have all been de-
stroyed. And this in Oregon!
All who are afflicted with indigestion
| should follow the example of Harry Hall
go out on farm and go to work. He
now boasts of an appetite that balks at
nothing, while during his city life food
was repugnant to him. 1t is said that
the housewife OF the farm where he is
working is raising $50 chickens for his
consumption during the coming winter.
| 1t is sure sign of health when one can
| eat SO many chickens.
| The ordinance establishing the con-
! crete sidewalk limits for Corvallis is al
ready bearing fruit. Such interest in
| the building of new board walks has
| never before been manifested in this CITY
| and in every direction can be heard the
hum of saws as the carpenters bend to the
! task Whole blocks of new walks are al
ready under construction, as the new or
| diuance does not become effective lust
vet. Better boards than no walk. Let
the work so on.
