Talk of extending the corpor
ate" limits of Corvallis will prob
ably result in action at'an early
date. The statement of Mayor
Watters is that the matter will
come .up for consideration - at
next Monday's meeting of the
city council. '
Just what action will be taken
is a matter of conjecture. This
extension has been discussed the
past two or three years, and the
talk now is that the lines should
be . extended as far west as the
Catholic cemetery, .thence south
to Oak creek; and east to the
Willamette, taking, in the resi
dential section south of Mary's
river. It is said that the peo
ple living west of King's road,
which is the present: western
boundary, are very" anxious to i
come into the city, but those
fiouth of Mary's river are some
what opposed.
: Within the territory specified
there are between 500 and 600
people and property that is very
valuable. The city would have
the advantage of this in the
matter of taxation but would be
at the expense of supplying
mountain water, sewerage, street
lights, police protection and in
the matter of keeping up the
streets. The ueople outside the
city limits can not have these
improvements until they have
become a part of the city.
There has been some doubt as
to whether the boundaries could
be extended before the next gen
eral election, but it is the opioion
of the city attorney that , new
territory may be added at any
time a majority of the residents.

council can agree. '
FROM
TUMBLED
. ; MOVING TRAIN
Star Theater
As the "main-line south-bound
train was whizzing along near
Jefferson last night, Jack' Taylor,
a barber of this city, fell from
the train. : When picked up later
by friends who went back after
him, it was tound that he was
only badly vbruised?Though the
train was going at a good clip
and Taylor rolled down a twenty
foot embankment, no bones were
broken and his face was. but
slightly scratched.
Mr. Taylor had been at the
Salem fair and was returning
home when the accident hap
pened. Friends with him say
that he felt slightly ill in the
stuffy car and went outside to ge
fresh air. In some way he tum
bled off between MiHersburg and
Jefferson. Frank Price, his part
ner in business here, noticed his
continued absence and stopped at
Jefferson, got a rig and;went
back to look for Mr. Taylor. He
found him little the worse for
wear. They drove to Albany and
getting another rig there, drove
on to Corvallis, arriving here
about 3 a. m. Mr. Taylor feels
rather badly "bunged up," but
is glad that the accident resulted
no more seriously.

Three Wonderful and Realis
tic Motion Pictures
"Liberty for an Hour"
A pathetic story of a convict who es
' capes from jail and eludes the guards,
but is recaptured while rescuing a lit
tle girl from drowning.
" The Judge's Whiskers"
A clever comedy showing the embar
assiner oosition in which a sedate judge
is nlaced in havine his whiskers shaved
off and his appearance so changed that
lie can not establish his identity.
: : "A Coward"
.This is a strong study of life in all
its fatal realitv. It is Dowerful. dra
matic, devoid of sentiment, stripped of
pathos and deprived of humor. No
more intense silent drama has ever
been presented in a moving picture.

ASHLAND TROUBLE.
Ever since Andrew Carnegie
made an offer to the city of Ash
land to give $15,000 for the con
struction of a library building in
Ashland, the matter of a suitable
site has been the sole feature of
the library conversation, and by
this time the subject has about
exhausted itself as far as provid
ing any new ' information. The
matter of location and the opin
ion of each party expressing his
view of the matter, in many
cases is that of self interest, each
section wishing the, library locat
ed where it will bring the people
nearest to the parties' best inter
