She will then go to Linn for a week's work; although she will likely pass through Benton it is generally con ceded that we are a temperate po -pie and that nothing will go demo cratic this year, so it is thought that she will not canvass among us.

Peter Bengen, an old gentleman who resides south cf Philomath, was in Corvallis Wednesday. Ho relates a peculiar experience which his wife had with two of her chick ens. Last winter one of the fowls became quite sick and this thrifty German frau did not propose to let it die Without an investigation as to the cause of its illness.

In this organ was found about four inches ot hemp rope. This wa3 taken out, the craw and outer skin were sewed up and the chicken is well and hearty today. A few weeks ago another chicken fell ill.

June 1st and will not be ready for operations until some time in July. The last legislature authorized Gov. Geer to appoint six individuals to represent Oregon at the Paris exposition, but as the state does not pay the smallest item of the ex- j pense it is not thought probable ! that any of those appointed will j attend. It seems like presuming on great individual interest to ex pect a man appointed to represent j nis state in anytning, to ao it en tirely at his own expense. The members of tho Catholic church gave a delightful party to the confiimation class at the resi dence of Mrs. Greffoz Monday ev ening. Among other features of the evening there were stereopticon views exhibited by Father Jurek.

It is very strange how the petty affairs of life go bo contrary to human desires. The latest and best to relate is what befell our former fellow citizen, A. W. Rose. He was recently in town from his ranch near Chitwood, and drove back home, consuming two days. It rained one day and not only soaked A. W., but a setting hen he was taking over to the ranch on a guarantee that she would sit, 'She now refuses to do so. Elsewhere in these columns will be found a notice to bicycle riders. The notice sets forth the action of the county court in the matter and what steps the sheriff will take to collect the tax. In case any per sons refuse to pay the tax there is sure to be a test case made of the matter, as the sheriffs actions are defined for him by the court. How ever, the sooner the tax is paiu the better so far as path construction is concerned, as it takes money to build paths. The Corvallis sawmill has just completed an order for 10,000 feet of fencing lumber for C. B. King. Mr. King is having a mile of mova ble fence constructed and Al Kemp is doing the work. The plan of building a fence that can be used to enclose any portion of the farm that is desired, and moving to another point when the pasturage becomes poor, is becoming quite popular and Mr. King is light in the van when improvements are being considered. The sawmill has also shipped a carload of 3-inch lumber to the Summit to be used by the supervis or of that district in building cul verts and bridges. He Dlseeverefl a Pure -White - Sunflower Entirely Mew -to Botanists. Mr. A. J. " Johnson, forestry ex-: pert, visited Corvallis and the Ag ricultural college last week on his return to Portland, from Southern Oregon. Mr. Johnson collects for nearly all the botanical gardens all over the world, and has orders for any kind of plant which is rare and beautiful and worthy of cultivation. He has not made any new discov eries of late, but for the past month has been traveling to all sorts of out-of-the-way places, collecting the roots of rare aud curious plants, which he located and marked last summer, but which could not be removed at that time. In this col lecting tour he has experienced many hardships and difficulties in finding the plants he was after, as they were mostly in altitudes of from 4,000 to 6,000 feet, and most of them were still buried under the snow. He first went to the Wallowa country, where last summer he dis covered a pure white sunflower entirely new to botanists rare, beautiful and-valuable commercial ly on that account. When he reached the place where ho had discovered the plant, after traveling five miles over frozen snow two feet in depth, he found the spot he had marked and alter shoveling away the snow he found the roots, and as the ground was not frozen, had but lit tle trouble in securing some fifty of the roots. As soon as these were planted in his nursery they started to grow and made as much growth in three or four days as other plants have in as many weeks. About May 1, Mr. Johnson will leaye for the mountains of Eastern Oregon, to collect dati for com pleting his report of the forests of Oregon, for the Geological Survey. This report will be a voluminous and comprehensive affair, contain ing a description of every forested township in Oregon, with many illustrations. Our Instructors. - Supt.

McDonald of Linn, has been secured, as well as other valuable assistance that will be forthcoming of interest and profit to all who attend, the parent as well as the teacher.

The fast river steamer, the Al- Death of Mrs. Denllnger. Word was received in this city Tuesday of the death of Mrs. Harry j Denhnger, who went to INew Mex ico recently for her health. Mrs. Denlinger was the daughter of Henry Hill, of Independence. Her family resides at that place and her funeral will be held there to day. She was well known in Cor vallis, where sho was engaged for some time as teacher in the public schools. Shortly after securing this ! position, she married Harry Den linger, but continued her work in the school until their departure from this city. As a teacher she was universally loved by the pupils of all grades, and a beautiful floral piece prepared by them, has been sent to Independence to be placed upon her grave. Miss Garland Hill, a sister of the d.-ceased, who is attending the agricultural col lege, has gone home to be present at the funeral. bany, formerly on the run between this city and Portland, has been secured by Paul Mohr's Steamboat Co. for service on the Columbia. She will be used as a construction boat between The Dalles and the terminus of the Portage road at the Big Eddy. It is thought that she will be utilized to transport ties from various points on the river to Big Eddy. She is in command of Capt. Johnstone, who, with a com petent crew, took her to the middle river Wednesday. One of the pur poses that the Albany will be used for is to determine how great is the danger of navigation on the Three Mile Rapid. This is a very wild place and at no point aloDg its banks could a man be buried, and there is not a thing along its shores to which a line can be made fast. The river pours through a narrow gorge of shelving rock; there is a rapid current and nearly always a heavy sea. It takes a strong boat to stem the current and it is thought that the Albany will meet all re quirements, as she is light draught and has been proved to be the swift est boat on the Upper Willamette. The introduction of a complete line of gentlemen's aod boys' linen under a single brand collars and shirts per fectly fitted and adapted to each other with cutis to match all Lion Brand, renders these always useful garments available for family presents and gives the assurance, iormerly wanting, that the gift will fit and satisfv as well as please.

Cor valls precinct No. 1 is still about 40 short of the poll of two years ago.

The price to be paid by the college for above privilege is $1,500. Mr.W. C. Ogdeu, a newspaper man, of Rhinelander, Wisconsin, was a Cor vallis visitor last week.

GROCERY selling in a depart ment store no longer attracts attention because of its novelity, but for the reason that the best of food products costs less- there than, the exclusive grocer charges. This store is easily in the lead in this respect. Our grocery de partment is appreciated by well posted buyers because it offers an opportunity to supply the-family needs in this line at closest prices. Country produce taken. WHENEVER you find a properly organized . and rightly conducted men's furnish ing stock in a dry goods store there you will find a successful one. Men no longer shun dry goods store furnishings, for they know they can get correct styles at close prices. We invite the attention of our customers to an especially fine and complete line of neckwear just opened. SHOE value consists in wear, style and comfort. If any of the three are lacking the foot wear is not good value. Our shoes are strictly reliable in qual ity, therefore long wearing; they are stylish, as can be seen at a glance ; they are comfortable, be cause fitted by an expert, AH our customers will bear out these statements. We believe this is the best place for you to buy shoes, and solicit your patronage. F. L. Miller. Every item offered below is proof of the above assertion. The quotations are only a very meagre representa tion of the values which place this, store unquestionably in the lead. This store is crowded, with the most com plete and comprehensive stock of dry goods we have ever shown. Every line was bought at close prices, and the goods will be passed along to our customers at the usual small margin of profit which has made this store so successful and popular. The New Spiring Parasols Are Here, This store offers many attractions to economical buyers. A store that relies solely on low prices to -win and hold trade is playing ' 'a losing game. ' ' To win such success as this store is winning it is necessary that the low prices should represent goods of strictly reliable quality. Every woman in this city who is posted on dry goods, and who takes the time to compare goods and prices will admit that our values are superior. We make and hold customers by treating them right. We lead; others follow. F you want a stylish spring hat for $3.00, just as good as the $5.00 kind, come here. The only difference is in the absence of the name, and "what's in a natne." If you are willing to pay two dol lars for a name, buy the five dol lar hat. If you want to pay only for the ftai, come here. Agent for Kingburry hats. "UR glove stock is the best patronized and most popular in this vicinity, because we make a constant effort to show a larger line, and offer better glove values than any other local dealer. It is not easy to do a satisfactory kid glove business. It requires long experience, careful buying, con scientious selling and a willing ness to be content with a small profit. We recognize all these requirements and conform to them. That's why Corvallis women can get better gloves here for the price than elsewhere. 13 EFORE your spring gown are fitted a new corset wil be needed. That goes almost without saying, for everyone knows that an ill-fitting or worn out corset spoils the fit of the dress. Our corset woman can help customers select the proper model one that will improve the figure. Consult her and you will be better satisfied with your cor set, and the fit of your dresses. Prices from 50c to $1.50. RECENTLY advances have taken place in all lines of cotton goods.
