VOTED AGAINST IT
Two Councilmen Did The Issuance
of a Liquor License.
There was division among the
councilmen Monday night about
granting a liquor license. Only
five were present, and on the 'first
ballot two voted for, and one against
the proposed license. Council
man Allen insisted that the mayor
should require all councilmen to
vote. A rule of the council, de
claring it to be the duty of every
councilmen to vote on all questions
in which he has no personal in
terest was read.
The mayor called upon all memb
ers to vote and then the roll was
called. Councilman Allen whose
name heads the roll, led off against
the license with a "nay." When
Councilman Crees' name was reach
ed, he followed suit with another
"nay." The other councilmen
present were, Hodes, gHenkle and
Wilbanks, and each voted, "aye."
The license was six months, and
was that of Wiley & Zeis. It was
granted.
IS A BIG ONE
Makes a Thousand Pounds of Batter at
a Time New Churn at the
Creamery.
The biggest churn in this section
of country will be in operation in a
few days at the Kaupisch creamery.
Its capacity at a single churning
is 1,000 pounds of butter. It will
hold at one time 600 gallons of
cream. Its weight, empty is 3,000
pounds. Filled with cream the
the weight would be nearly
8,000, and revolving rapidly in the
air while the churning process is on
it will represent immense force.
The new churn has been added
to the plant because of the great in
crease in the business. With the
300 gallon churn on hand, two or
three churnings a day are essential
making both unnecessary labor and
unnecessary expense. The daily
butter output of the establishment
is 1,000 pounds. The price of
butter fat at the present time is
20)4.
The Kaupisch creamery now
gets cream from beyond Harrisburg
Within the past few days Herman
Kaupisch has established a new
route in that vicinity, connecting
with the Halsey route, the latter of
which has been supplying milk to
tae creamery tor some time past.
It is expected that the new , route
will yield 150 gallons of cream per
day.

IMMIGRATION MEN COMING
To Corvallis to see Business Men
and others About Settling Benton
A special train is to visit Corval
lis next Friday with railroad men
interested in getting Easternp eopleto
settle in Benton. The chief man will
be Mr. Coleman, general passenger
and freight agent of the Southern
Pacific. With him will be G B Mc
Kinney, general immigration agent
of the Harriman line. In the party
also will be a number of McKin
ney's assistants, ,
The party wants to meet Corval
lis business men, the Corvallis may
or,, members of the council, the Cit
izens' L,eague and all others who
desire to promote settlement of Ben
ton. Local Agent Farmer has been in
structed to notify all concerned, and

FOR THE REFORM SCHOOL
Corvallis Boy to go There He is but
Eleven Years of Age.
It is understood to be practically
settled that John Feirstein, son of
Mr and Mrs Joe Feirstein of Cor
vallis, will be sent to the state re
form school in the course of a few
days. A charge of petit larceny
has been lodged' against him, and
he has admitted a . portion of the
facts alleged. The matter-, was
brought before Justice Holgate's
court Monday afternoon. J H Wil
son appeared as deputy district at
torney to represent the state. The
boy was taken into custody, but
after due consideration it was . de
termined to postpone action until
the arrival of County Judge Wat
ters, who is attending the sessions
of the grand lodge of A O U W in
Portland.
It is believed by Justice Holgate
that justices are without authority
to commit boys to the reform school
an act of 1893 apparently vesting
such anthority only in the circuit
or county judges.
County Judge Watters is ex
pected home Friday. The boy is
only eleven years of age. His par
ents are interested in having him
sent to the reform school.
