The story of the shooting aftray in this city Sunday morning is told in our news columns. The universal verdict of the people is: "Just what we expected.". The outcome of this affair is but the logical result of the former ac tions of the same young man, and the course pursued by the authorities in . former escapades. Not one person in a hundred in the community but knew instinc tively what the result would be, yet he had been petted and coax ed by those who should have re strained him, and openly ap plauded and encouraged by others. One of the prominent lawyers of the city pronounced a eulogy on his courage and daring, lor breaking the law, and he was held up before the youth of the city, as an exampie of the kind of men to make soldiers of. The city has been infested by a number ot young hoodlums who have held the citizens in terror long enough. It is time that proper steps were taken to put a stop to it, before 'more crimes are committed, and more of the youth of our city corrupted. How much longer is the city going to let these rowdies imperil the lives of respectable citizens, by allowimg them to remain free to do as they please. There are times in the life of a community when Lynch law almost seems to be justifiable. It becomes the duty of good citizens to so shape events that such a course will not be necessary. Firmness in the enforcement of 'law is absolutely essential, as much for the good of the would-be criminals as tor the community. If. our officers will not do their plain duty we should have others that will. Corvallis is a quiet, law-abiding community, and such episodes as this casts a shadow on its good name that will be hard to remove. The time for moralizing is past the time for action has arrived. What are you going to do about it? "Queen Esther" Cantata. The Cantata "Queen Esther" giv en under the auspicies of the Ath letic Association last Friday and Saturday nights proved a grand success. Many who attended the first Light went again the following evening. Both nights were greeted with large houses. The synopsis published in a recent issue of the Gazette was well carried out by the participants. Corvallis has many excellent singers as Was evi denced by these performances. Mrs, E. F. Pernot, Bert Johnson, Miss Lulu Spangler, John Allen, Miss Mabel Cronise and Mrs. E. R. Lake deserve special mention. The chor uses were all well acted and showed fine musical ability. The drills were all well received by the audi ence, especially the drill by the Queen's guard. The production of this sacred cantata as a whole was an under taking that reflects credit upon the musical director and costumer, A. H. Newton, who afforded Corvallis such a treat by the production of this beautiful cantata. Iowa People Take Notice. All Iowa people are requested to call at O. J. Blackledse's furniture store and register their names. We wish to have a picnic in June and have a reunion of Iowa people. O. J. Blackledge, President. Additional Locals. Mr. and Mrs. R. N.

WHITE & STONE, Corvallis, Oregon. NEW PIANOS!! $50.00 '.TO $75.00 cheaper than you can buy them in Portland: or of Portland agents. We claim to sell in struments of ihesame quality S"0 to 75 cheaper than any other pgents within 500 miles. This may beem like a bola statement, but we are prepared to back it up with incontrovertible evidence, if given a chance. ARGUMENT. All large dealers, like the Portland firms, have enormous expenses that we do not have in the way of immense rent, electric light, clerk hire, freight, dravage and numerous other bills. Especially is this true of their agents who cart their pianos around from town to town, creating bills which you have to share if you buy of them. Large" firms save about 810 on n'piauo bv buying in large carload lots Do you think that makes up for the' above expenses? We are in a position to sell cheaper than any large firms and the way our customers7 are i creasing gives evidence that people are finding it out. Beware of spec ial sales, piano clubs and the like. No arm can ieil goods at wholesale prices to the retail trade and no firm does. We always make a profit ou our pianos aud never give a'uyone a special price,, or sell to you for less than your neighbor, as we have but oue price the year around. There is not another dealer iu tne Pacific Northwest, to our knowl edge, which has strictly oue price on each piano from which they ever never deviate. At least have a talk with M. A. GOODIMOUGH before purchasing and see what he has to ofler. Our S250 piano is a thoroughly good instru ment, of beautiful tone, action, finish and workmanship and one which would cost else where $300 so $325. We have several new styles coming. Second hand pianos also for sale. Office and residence. Sixth street, one block west of the Court House, Corvallis. Show ua who has never worn and we'll show you a man who ought to come to our store.
