A Good Beginning.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Ian MacLaren, the famous novelist and clergyman, was talking to a group of literary beginners n New York.
 Begin your stories we'll" he said en- phaucally. "Thc,as nothing like good beginning. Indeed, it's half the battle"
 Then, with a smile. this excellent be- ginner of stories said:

Bad as Holy Rollers.

The curious band of religionists
of Des Moines, led by Mrs. Scott
Ladd, wife of the chief justice
of the supreme court, is
employing the idea of mar
riage in heaven. The ques-
ton is not popped. For instance,
the other evening ''Brother
Brewer suddenly jumped up in
meeting and exclaimed, 80,
Lord, lead me to Mrs. Clyde Mil
ler, whom the spirit tells me to
marry" "Glory!' shouted Mrs.
Miller. ''My heart has left my
body, and it tells me to become
the wife John Brewer. The
wedding took place within six
hours.
There are advantages in this
kind of matchmaking. The
human heart escapes the misery
of long hours of uncertainty after
an offer OF marriage has been
presented. Divine intervention
is called for instanter, and delays
are kicked aside unceremonious-
| ly. The conduct of the sect led
bv his wife has embarrassed
Judge Ladd OF the Iowa supreme
court greatly. For a time he re-
fused to believe the accounts OF
the meetings, but he has now IS
sued public statement in which
he says if he finds his wife guilty
of wrong doing he will notoppose
punishment. If she is insane he
will ask that she be sent to the
hospital. If she is found OF
sound mind and persists in he1
conduct, the judge intends to
ask for a divorce.
| 1t is doubtful whether if ever
before in the history of this coun-
TRY SO many fanatical religious
Iorganiz ,tions were ''carrled on"
It is kind of epidemic wide

at the rate of untold THOUSANDS
of bushels daily. But ha yes
this year will be OF com mparativeiy
short duration as there is de-
crease in the acreage when con-
trasted with that of former years.
N It only is there less acreage
han during former years, but it
seems there is to be less yield al
so. 1t is reported from some
sections that spring-sown grain
is very light and fall-sown grain
just fair. The same conditions
appear to prevail in Benton and
Linn counties, according to re-
ports to reach u.s.. Now aud then
it is Encouraging to hear of good
yield-a splended yield such as
was the rule in former years is
row the exception.
There is no use in discussing
the matter SO far as the future
regarding grain raising in the
Willamette Valley is concerned.
The history for this section as
regards the ''palmy days. of
wheat-raising has been written.
They belong to the past and will.
not return save after period of
years, when the soil shall have
been enriched by the cultivation
of other crops. Let wheat-rais-
ing 60 to the bow-wows for a
time aud engage in other forms of
agriculture.
Try diversified farming. Give
dairving more attention and
make more money. Dairying is
sure money and is quickly made.
The great drawback to this busi.
ness is to get started as it requires
cows and good ones, too. The
better the cows the better for the
dairyman. 1t may take little
time to get started at this busi-
ness, but about as sure a way as
any is for the farmer to save the
heifer calves for few years just
before he quits grain-raising. He
can then change from one busi-
ness to another without knowing
how he did. Change, asit were,
"when the cows come iu.' Try
tit will pay you.

NOT YET DISCOVERED.
Northern Indians Guard Secret of
Richest Mine.

The management of the
Alaska-Yukon-Paci6c Exposition
which will be held at Seattle in
1909, proposes to reproduce at
the exposition several of the
famous mines of the North, that
made dozens of millionaires dur
ing 1898 and 1900. But the
richest mine that the north has
will not be reproduced for the
simple reason that no while men
has ever seen it, and lived to tell
the tale. -
In the early days of the camp a
certail tribe of Indians from the
north arrived in Dawson for the
first time. To! the astonishment
of the few that first saw the tribe
every member had several orna-
ments carved from great nuggets
of virgin gold. This tribe had
never met the white men before
and to breathless inquiries the
tribesmen told how near where
they lived was stream in which
the yellow metal could be picked
up in chunks as big as ones fist.
Near by, they said, there was a
cliff in which the metel stood out
like moss on a mountain side.
The Indians soon learned the
value OF their ornaments and
shrewdly refused to tell where
they got it. Nevertheless several
prospectors tried to follow the
tribe on the return to the north
ern village, but the willy redmen
easily succeeded in loosing the
less agile paleface. Since then
there has been several more or
less secret and always unsuccess-
full expeditions to find the lost
gold of the Indians.

Burned Out.

Through Mrs. Frank Wyatt of
Philomath we learn that Red
ding, Calf, was the scene of a
disastrous confagration a week
ago Sunday. The loss sustained
in the city is estimated at $780,
900, aud a good portion OF this
loss falls upon former Corvallis
ties.
John Zais had his ice factory,
valued at $35, ,ooo, totally Destroy
ed, and there was no insurance.
He also lost two residences and
contents valued at $o, 900, and on
these he carried no insurance.
Theodore Z=is lost a $500 resi-
dence on which, fortunately, he
had 81, 900 Insurance. Another
former Benton county citizen who
suffered a severe loss was Carl
Ditttnar, AT one time resident of
Philomath. He lost a 81, 500
residence, on which he carried
81, 500 Insurance.
One whole block of the city
was entirely burned out and part
of another destroyed.
1t is estimated that the Z=is ice
plant furnished fully one half of
the artificial ice used in Northern
Califo ma. It was the only ice
factory in that section. Mr.. Zeis
was at one time proprietor of the
! Corvallis Ice plant.
The fire also destroyed the
Baptist and Catholic churches,
the latter being magnificent
structure which was completed
only about a year ago.

of all ba biee who cry and are treated for

NEWS OF The FAIR.
Great Program Arranged for ALI
Benton School Fair.

Things are moving right a1ons
with the All-Benton School Fair.
The Finance Committee is fas
com pleting arrangements for the
greatest time ever had in Benton
county. Each day adds some
thing new in the way of enter.
tainment to the occasion. Ar.
rangements have been complet'
ed with the Electric Light Com.
pany to light eight blocks with
red, white ard blue lights, every
fifteen feet apart. This will be
the greatest electrical illumina-
ton ever had in Corvallis. The
city will be as light as day. The
lights are to be On Main street
from Wade & Co., corner to the
corner of Corvallis Hotel, thence
west to Court House. The
grounds will be lighted as never
before.
Arrangements have just been
made to secure 100 large Ameri-
can flags, four feet wide and six
feet long, for decorating Main
street and grounds; besides the
committee has over 500 yards of
bunting with which to dress the
court house grounds. This also
promises to be the most specta-
cular decoration ever presented to
the eye o. our ci,izens.
The review of the school child
rem of the county by Governor
Chamberlain and United States
Senator Fulton will be a sight
in the history of
even our oldest citizens. Think
of a procession of from 1000 to
I, 500 school children in line,
with flags waving from their
hands, marching down Main
street. Can you fancy a prettier
scene. It is one that will touch
the heart of every citizen in the
county who witnesses it. The
fact the children will be review
ed by our Governor and Senator
Fulton is an honor which seldom
comes to life of out boys aud
girls. The Governor and Sena-
tor are looking ahead to the
event when they can grasp each
proud young Ame.ican's hand,
the flower of the homes of our
county-the pride of fathers and
mothers in our midst-our boys
and girls. Let ever father and
mother give their child this op-
portunity, possibly the only op-
portunity they will ever have to
shake hands with the Governor
of Oregon and a United States
Senator. Such an honor should
be conferred upon every Toy and
girl in the county. Let every
father and mother begin now to
see to it that their children are in
the parade.
The Eiier Piano House of Port
land will furnish the pianos for
the Fair. Elaborate preparations
are being made by this famous
musical instrument house to have
one of the finest displays of pianos
ever made in our county. The
committee in return for the con-
cessions granted it by this house
has consented to allow them to
display some of their pianos
and furnish the music in the
exhibit room. Between $500
and $500 is to be spent in decora-
tions by this popular house.
