A nood well story is told by Wal
ter Smith, who is farming the
Booneville place. Walt says that
ho has a well that furnishes an in
exhaustible supply of water during
summer; but every year about the
fiist of October it begins to fail. It
has acted in this manner for sev
Iteral years and at the present time
khe can only draw about two buckets
ypi water without stopping. Shortly
After the holidays its supply begins
vto increase.- All through the dry
summer season it furnishes an
abundant supply of pure water,
bjjt in the winter season it fails.
j This is a peculiar state of affairs.
ASKS FOR RECEIVER.
John At. Osbtirn Files Petition in Bank
. ruptcy to Save Property.
John M. Osburn, of Corvallis,
farmer and fine-stock raiser, a
resident of Benton county for 40
j years, Friday filed a petition
l in bankruptcy in the United
States Court. His liabilities
amount to some $46,000, and
his assets absut $48,000. His
liabilities are mostly secured by
mortgage on his lands and his
cattle, and his assets consist of
his farm, farming utensils, stock,
etc. In connection with his
bankruptcy petition, Mr. Osburn
filed a petition asking the cftnrt
to have the property put in pos
session of the United States
Marshal until a trustee can be
appointed.
He farther states tha several
citizeas of Corvallis, whom he
names, reeovered judgment
iagainst him for $4,600, and
and placed it in the hands of the
Sheriff, with instructions to levy
upon his cattle and personal
proparty, and the sheriff took
ihs same into his possession.
The sam persons purchased a
chattel mortgage from the First
National Bank of Eugene and 1
placed it in the hauds of the
sheriff and directed him to sell
the property at private sale.
Petitioner alleges that it is ab
solutely necessary for the preser
vation of said property and the
piotection of the rights of his
creditors that the court shall
take charge of all the property
and hold the same pending the
appointment of a receiver. Judge
Bellinger made an order direct
ing the Marshal to take charge
of the property and hold it and
keep it together till the appoint
ment of a trustee. Oregonian.
The many friends of Mr. John
M. Osburn, of this place, will re
gret very, muoh to learn that he
has deemed it necessary to file
his voluntary petition in the
United States court asking to be
adjudged a bankrupt. Mr. Os
burn has for over a third of a
century been a resident of this
oommunity Since early man
hood and long prior to his com
ing to Oregon he was a dealer
and raiser of stock. For the
last twenty years he has engaged
in raising and selling fine regis
tered Durham cattle; the original
stock having been bought in the
East and shipped across the con
tinent. He has sold the off
spring of these fine cattle to
stock raisers all ever this coun
try thus improving their herds.
By an unfortunate chain of cir
cumstances, Mr. Osburn of late
3'ears eeoame more extensively
involved than .prior thereto in
trying to help others, and re
cently several parties who had
signed a note with him took it
up, and obtained judgment
against him in the lasfc term of
circuit court and levied upon the
cattle. As Mr. Osburn was not
able to pay the claim at onoe,
this resulted in his filing the
petition named. Mr. Osburn's
recent failing health is also a
source of much anxiety among
his friends, United States Mar
shal Hauser arrived in this city
last Saturday, and is said to have
taken charge of the stock.
"Brown" Was Delightful.
Those who attended the per
formance of ' 'Brown's in Town,
at the Opera House, last Friday
evening, got full returns for their
money, and were entertained
beyond their fondest expecta
tions. The play ia on of the
brightest of recently written
faroe comedies, and the per
formers are clever and fit nicely
into their parts. The story is
oomplloated yet consistent, and
there is net an ebjeotieaable line
Or gesture. Miss Jessie Mae
Hall captivated her audience
with her fir9t speech, and she
grew in favor as the play pro
ceeded. Of the gentlemen, Mr.
Chas. Horn easily takes first
place, although every role was ar
tistically rendered. Theeccentrie
character parts presented by Miss-
Weil and Mr. George iibner ae-
serve special mention. inrac
roles, which fire usually thank
less, and yet demand so muoh of
a performer, were most cleverly
handled.

Silver Wedding.
Friday evening a delightful sur
prise was given Mr. and Mr. Lee
Henkle at their residence in this
eity. It was the occasion of their
"Silver Wedding" and the prime
movers in the affair were members
of the W. R. C. and the United
Evangelical church. The attend
ance was large, the surprise of the
couple was genuine, and every
thing took place as arranged
and passed off in the most enjoy
able manner. Many nice presents
of silverware were given Mr. and
Mrs. Henkle. Rev. L. M. Boozer
made the presentation speech in a
most pleasing manner. Choice re
freshments assisted materially to
make this a memorable occasion
for all who attended.
Tho silverware presented con
sisted of an elegant cake basket,
a butter dish, a set of teaspoons,
a butter knife,! a sugar shell and
pickle fork." The groom presented
his bride with his photo encased: in i
a silver frame, in the form of a j
breast-pin. A friend of the gioom
jokingly presented him with a "i6
to 1" silver dollar. The whole af-;
fair took place as planned and was
a delightful surprise to both Mr.
and Mrs. Henkle. Although their
daughter, Miss Bertha, knew of the
intended surprise, she said nathing
about it, thereby proving that a
woman can keep a secret.
Cor val H s - E 11 gene -Motor.
The scheme of building a
motor road from this city to
Eugene, whioh has been dis
cussed frequently in the papers
of this section, but so far has
not gotten beyond that stage,
is again being talked of. The
following appears in the associat
ed press dispatches of November
22, dated at Spokane, Wash:
"Dr. H. S. Wallaee, of Junc
tion City, Or., is here on hi
way from New York. He as
serts that he has succeeded in
placing $400,000 worth of bonds
in New York for the Corvallis
& Southern railway, to be built
from Corvallis to Eugene for the
co-operative colony, and says
work may begin any day."
Dr. Wallace has been very ac
tive in his efforts to promote this
enterprise, and as his trip feD'New
York Was for the purpose of
placing bonds for this road, the
scheme may yet assume a shape
more tangible than figures and
drawings. i

ing the country around Albany for

ing, and this morning about 285
head are in the stock yards. These
will be loaded this morning and
be sent north on the through
freight to the ranges in Eastern
Washington where they will be
wintered and fattened for market.
If a stockman In Eastern Washing
ton can afford to pay $12 and $15
a head for calves here, pay the
freight on them to Washington,
feed them throngh a cold winter,
and make money on them, it seems
as though there would be some
profit to the farmer in this valley
to keep his calves until they are
ready to be turned off for beef.
