clerk, for the sole offense of being an accom

the Bay and has been a voter here for years
last past. At least one half of the time he

deal is all we expect for our hew county. I
We expect to get ' there without traducing
and falsifying the actions of a county official.
I have taken the pains to look Into this mat
ter and the pamphlet that should have been
thrown broadcast to the west has no found
ation as regards our county clerk.
It is a known fact that Mr.' Wilson at
tends strictly to his own and the public in
terests; and the fact that he has been county I
clerk for 28 years last past shows him to be 1
a gentleman and an accommodating official;
and one whom a common every day liar can
not injure.
I know nothing about O. P. ear marks
in fact, it is generally understood that the
O. P. can neither make ear marks or any
other of late. Lst us fight eut to day light
for tho Bay county and not empty our bile
bags on a decent, self-respectiug man; but
on the contrary let us tie np that fern fed
liar whose ntthose "flyers" to the breeze.
Our clerk having interests here as well as
in the valley, and being the clerk of Benton
ennnty has wisely not been in the light, and
whatever the result may be will be satis
factory to him. We want no side issues
and pray to be delivered from some of our
friends. The county records are public
property aud the clerk by his deputy aa in
duty bound, will exhibit the records just as
gladly to a Bay man as the Times' man.
We aro equal to the emergency of self gov

MOTHER'S MEETING.
On Monday, Jan. 23rd, some thirty
five mothers met at the residence of
Mrs. James Cauthorn, at a "mothers
meeting," addressed by Mrs. Haiford,
state secretary of ; the W. C.T. TJ.
The influence of each parent upon the
child, was touched upon. The main
tonic of the hour was "childhood its
care and culture." A few thoughts
may well be culled from Mrs. Harford's
talk to the following effect :
"The need of bringing up children
alike that is, to make no difference
in the manner of training between boys
and girls up to the age of ten or eleven.
The neccessity of guarding the child
from outside influences. The Ameri
can mothers give the girls too much
atitudej they go out into society too
young. illustration was drawn irom
life to depict the ills of this custom.
'Great harm inevitably follows let
ting children have parties continually,
during their school years; gain the
confidence of our girls yea, and the
boyj also. Do not let theui grow up
ignorance."
At the close of ihe talk, five new
members were received by the union;
atd on Saturday, January 28th, there
is to be a supper and reception to new
members to be held at Mrs. Additon's.
This will be au auspicious union, there
being twelve new active members and
two honorary. Supper is to be served
at b p. m., ana an interesting pro
gramme is arranged for the evening.
THE FATAL CANCER.
Harry Wilkinson, an employee at
the carriage factory, was advised by
wire hist Sunday of the death of bis
mother, Mis. E. W. Wilkinson, at
Dufur, Wasco county, this state. The
deceased lady, with her husband was
a resident of this city some months,
the latter a telegraph operator for the
Oregon Pacific oompany. During
that time Mrs. Wilkinson became
afflicted with a cancer in the breast,
for the treatment of which she went
last fall with her husband to a cancer
specialist, Dr. Vanderpool at Dufur.
The sorrowful sequence tells the inef
fectual struggle againtt the destroyer.
Three children are left motherless
with the stricken father .and many
friends in. Corvallis sympathise with
them in their bereavement.
W. R. Calloway, the progressive
farmer of Soap creek district, has just
returned from a six week's visit with
former friends in the Sacramento val
ley. Cab He remarked but little
change in the scenes of his old home
during the years of his absence;
though some frieuds have passed
from earth and others have departed to
ether fields the minority of the bt-
ter having come north to Oregon, and
Washington. He emphasized the fact
that, notwithstanding all the vaunted
boasting of Californians over their
climate, he saw during his six week's
sojourn there, only ono day ' of sun
shine.
INTERESTING LECTURE.
An interesting lecture was delivered
bv Mrs. H. Harford, secretary of the
Oregon State W. C. T. IT. at the Meth
odist south chapel on Monday. Mrs.
Harford is an earnest, pleasing speaker
and held her audience closely through
out. The music, although almost im
promptu, was good, and seemingly ap
preciated--especially a bass solo, "One
more river to cross and that is prohibi1
tion." '
There was a . fairly good audience,
but not as large as there should have
been. . -; .
A REUNION.
All members of the W. C. T, U.,
both active and honorary, are earnestly
requested to be present at the supper
and reception on Saturday, at Mrs,
Additon's. Supper served at 6. p. " ro.
Anyone desiring to become a member,
either active or honorary, is respect
fully invited to come to this meeting,
designed as it is especially to receive
new members.
The big Corvallis Oregon grape
proves all right. It was thought, at
the time of the snow storm a month or
so ago, that it had been split and in
jured so' badly that it would be unfit to
to take back to the world's fair, but the
wound it suffered proves later; to have
been of slight consequence aud has
about healed up so that the plaut will
be as good as ever..
