There seems to be considerable
dissatisfaction on the part of fisher
men regarding1 the fish laws of the i
sUte. The Fishermen's Union, of
Astoria, is trying to raise funds to
have some changes in th laws
nude at the nnxt meeting of the
legislature. The greatest grievance
appears to be over fish traps. In
this connection may be mentioned
that a suit against trap men on the
Siuslaw river was recently insti
tuted. According to the Albany Herald
the English partridges recently or
dered from England by Albany
sportsmen are expected to arrive
some time next month. They will

added to the fields of the Willam

ton will be one of the counties thus
favored.

The highest price reported paid
for hops in the Willamette Valley
this year, was 200 bales of choice
hops belonging to F. Levy of Salem.
The price paid was 1& cents per
pound. This is pratty good price,
but some growers are now holding
for 16 cents.
It is a noticeable fact that there
has been a good many strargers on
the streets of Corvallis lately. If
any of them are seeking new loca

Albert Meeker, of Toledo, re
turned home, Wednesday, having
been in Corvallis since Saturday.
He helped George Horning drive
out a band of sheep, between 200
and 300 in number. Mr. Meeker
expects to return in about ten days
with about 125 additional head of
sheep. This will make in the
neighborhood of 400 head and Mr.

The United State3 snagboat Math
loma is tin the beach nenr Ranier,
where she will lay until temporary
repairs are made to her hull. The
boat was engaged in pulling snags
near Ranier. Several days ago
she made fast to one and tried to
remove it. When a strain was nut
on it, however, the snag broke and j
the portion that stayed beneath the
water bumped against, the bottom
of the Mathloma, breaking a hole
in her. It was necessary to beach
her.
The prune growers who have
been so backward going into the
cured fruit association will take a
lesson from the results obtained by
the Willamette Valley Prune Grow

taking hold of the state association.

The safe in the office of G. L.
Gray, of Shedd, was blown up Mon
day night and something like $75
taken. There is no clew to the
perneti ator of the deed. A num-
ber of people, some at a d.stance of . occagioof an JdrQ8B hv Congrees
halfarm e, heard the noise but I Thog Tq -Mu3jc6 , in
hau no idea what it was, and no
one got up to investigate. It may
be just as well for Coryallis safe
owners to exercise a little caution
in this regard, for in a matter of
this kind it is genfrally too late to
do anything when you become
aware of the presence of a safe
cracker. It is quite awhile since
Corvallis has had an experience
of this nature, and it is suggested
that such caution be exercised as
will render it out of the question
for any one to attempt such a job
in this city.
Edwin Rose returned home, Tues
day, from Chitwood. He bad
helped his une'e, A. W. Rose, drive
some goats over to the latter's rauch
at Chitwood. While Mr. Rose was
out in the valley looking for theiTh.e specimen is a very fine one,
goats he wr.s obliged to put a man
on his place to look after affairs,
and even then he ruffered the loss
of three sheen while he was awav.
The man who was on the place
heard quite a racket among the
sheep one night after he had re
tiied and got up for an investiga
tion. However, it was so dark that
he could not corral the animals,
and they ran hither and yon at
will. There is a difference of opin
ion as to what kind of an animal
killed them, some men laying tho
blame on bear, others say it was j
the work of wildcats, while s! ill ;
others declare that the sheep were
killed by dogs. None of the sheep
were eaten, by their destroyer, and
in all instances they were chewed a
little about the head and ears.

Young Mr. Moore, who recently
arrived in this county from Illinois,
was the victim of a runaway last
Monday evening in which he was
severely bruised. He was
hauling lumber to his new home on
the Calloway place, with a four
horse team. Some distance below
town tho animals became fright
ened and ran away. No damage
resulted to the wagon or horses.
Beach & Bower's minstrels ap
peared Tuesday night to a well
filled house. And while a number
of tho specialties were excellent,
the entertainment on the whole was
a disappointment. The program
does not run smoothly and gives
one the impression that it is bein
cut and spliced and altered gener
ally from the usual performance,
which no doubt it was. This may
do f r "one-night s-ands." but is
poor business if a return engage
ment is contemplated.
Wednesday, Victor Moses, deputy
for County Clerk Watters, forward

property :s $2,700,070; exemption
$15,30S. Total valuation as final

equalization is $2,524,762.
Fred Reise, who was recently
badly injured in Albany, by the
explosion of an ecetylene tank, at
which time S. Stoltz was killed, is
slowly recovering. His injuries
are mostly about the face. It is re
ported in this city that the doctors
fear some kind of poisoning as the
result of acetylene and corroded
particles of metal that were blown
into his face. It is not known yet
whether these fears are well ground
ed or not, but it is hoped not. A
matter of local interest connected
with this Hem is the fact that the
tank was being prepared for ship
ment to this city, where it was to
have been placed in the Episcopal
church, when it exploded.

The death of Mrs. Cauthorn,
wife ot William L. Cauthorn;
- j - ,
Peak Wednesday morning about j
4 o'clock. Mrs. Cauthorn had i
been a sufferer from asthma for j
years and this was the direct j
cause of her death. Tuesday, !
Mr. Cauthorn started with his
wife for their old home on Soap
Creek, but the air of the va1 ley
was too heavy for Mrs. Cauthoru
and when they reached Philo
math it was necessary o call a
physician. So serious was the
attack, that it was decided best
to return to the invigorating at
mosphere of the peak. Mrs.
Cauthorn continued to grow
worse, however, and shortly be
fore the end came suffered a
stroke of paralysis and expired
before a physician could be
called. Wednesday the body
was taken to Soap Creek, and
here at the family residence the
funeral services were held yes
terday morning at n o'clock,
Rev. Myron L,. Boozer officiating.
Interment occurred at the Locke
cemetery. Mrs, Cauthorn had
been a resident of Benton coun
ty for many years and was be
loved by all who knew her. She
was born in Missouri in 1833.
and was married in that state to
Win. L. Cauthoru in 1857. She
crossed the plains to Oregon ia
1865.
Common Council.
The city fathers met Monday
evening and considered a few
matters of interest. In the mat
ter of lateral sewers it was de
cided to lay the proposition over
until next May. At this time it
is expected that this matter will
again be taken up and bids ad
vertised for.
A petition from the C & E R
R Company praying thot they
be granted a franchise for the
erection of telegraph poles in
certain sections of the city was
laid before the council. .After
some little discussion the matter
was laid over until some future
meeting in order that, more in
formation on the subject could
be obtained. In this the coun
cil acted wisely, as the passage
of the ino:t trivial matter will
sometimes cause a lot of future
trouble.
An ordinance was introduced
which proposes to prohibit boys
and others from jumping cn and
off trains moving within the city
limits. It was given considera
tion and had two readings. Ac
cording to its provisions a fine
of from $5 to $20 is to be im
posed for each offense. This
matter was laid over to be taken
up again at the regular meeting
next month. Ordinances of a
similar character have been in
troduced to the council hereto
fore, but hava failed to pass.
In Memoriam.
Brother Leiwis G. Kline was
born September 1st, 182P, and,
near high moon, on. Monday,
Ootober 8th, to use the expres
sive language of the Holy Writ,
' 'he gathered up his feet into the
bed, and yielded up the spirit
and was gathered unto his peo
ple. ' '
Brother Kline was made an
Odd Fellow in Cincinatti, Ohio,
in the early 50's. For half a oeu
5ury, with aiean hands and a
pure heart, he ministered at our
altar. Wc read of one "wlio
ever did his duty in his way of
life, with strong hand, a quiet
tongue and a gentle heart."
This same gentleness, steadfast
ness of purpose and quiet devo
tion to duty, characterized the
life of our Brother.
When by just dealing and close
attention to business he was
acquiring a competence, no cavil
ing was heard for "in his right
hand he carried gentle peace to
silence envious tongues."
To the sons, bowed in early
manhood by their great sorrow;
to the grief-stricken daughter,
honored and esteemed by the
Odd Fellows of Oregon, we can
only say that the Infinite Father's
ways are always right.

many, under date of September
17th, contributes the following
that will be of interest to Ore
gon fruit dealers aud growers,
relating to prices in the Old
World:
Two dozen small peaches, 12
pfennirgs, about 3 osnt?. One
basket of grapes, about 1
pounds, of fair size and quality,
24 pfennings, about 8 cents.
Twenty-five prunes, Italian or
German, and of .good size, 4
pfennings, about 13 cents.
Twelve Italian primes, best, 6
pfennings, about two cents.
One box huckleberries, about
1 2 pounds, led fruit, quite tart,
20 pfennings. Twelve apples,
30 pfennings; pears, 12 pfen
nings per dozen; peaches, 24
pfennings per dozen.
At Frejghburg fruit was sell
ing generallj' about I one-half
higher than at Strassbourg, but
it was of a much better grade,
both as to size' and quality.
Italian prunes were selling here
at top prices and they were
abundant. The apples and pears
surpass anything I have seen
outside of Paris. Yet, generally;
the crop is so large that fruit is
low-prioed. For some sampler,
of the best plums and peaches
we paid 5 cents per pound, but
a man at Zahniigen sold the
fruit from a hundred well-loaded
plum trees, seven years old, for
160 marks, about $38.
