Various people about town dined on carp during the past few days, The fish were caught by BichardV Kiger In the lake on his farm. One of them that Mr. Kiger caught was nearly three feet long and weighed 18 pounds. Many others were of large slZ9. Tkey are not unlike a salmon in shape, save that they are much more slender. Mr. Kiger feeds them on wheat which Is dumped Into the lake near the bank. There is a tradition that the carp are sj vora cious that if necessary to reach it they will crawl out on the bank after food,' The fl9h are the product of stocks ot carp planted in the waters of the Willamette by the federal gov ernment years ago. In the same lake Mr. Kiger occasionally takes a black bass, a fish that is considered a great delicacy. It is shaped much like the perch taken at Yaquiua bay, Among the visitors from abroad at the coming Commencement at the college will be Bev. Joseph Emery.

Major Brooks Forsakes the Salvation Army and Joins Comeouters. . Major Charles Edward " Brooks who has had charge of the Salva tion Army work in this locality for some months," has a charge of de sertion laid against him by his former associate and ex-comrade, who so long marched by the majors side in pursuance of his duty as a lieutenant of the Corvallis corps. "Yes," said Lieutenant Manus to a Times writer, ' the major has de serted us. In his talks on the street no doubt you have heard him declare how certain he was that he THE NINTH GRADE. Program and Names of Students ishing the Course. Fin- Friday evening 24 students closed their connection with the Corvallis public schools by finishing the work of the ninth grade and receiving the certificates of graduation at the opera house, at which time a very entertaining program was rendered ,: A he nrst number on the program was music by the orchestra. Invo cation was pronounced fry Rev. E. F. Green, instrumental solo by Vera Horner and . the salutatory by Harold Wilkins were given in or der. Verne Lake Pheobe Lamber son, Tracy Hollister and Flo v Haw- was saved in the army At last hei ley were on for recitation?. The J. J. Farquar, of Boseburcr, visit ed friends here Thursday and Friday. A year ago Mr. Farquar met with a rallrcal accident in which he lost his right foot and be still suffers much from the misfortune. Mr. Farquar Is 70 years of age and is on his way to Portland to enter the Odd Fellows' home where he expects to remain at least until he recovers. He is a char ter member ot the Ashland lodge, I. O. O. F. Mr. Farquar was accompan ied by his niece, Mrs. Brandenberry, of Portland. At a council meetlDg Monday night, three lateral sewers were ord ered constructed. One Is Tor a con nection with the Jefferson street main from the South through the Ben Woldfe block: another is a continua tion of a lateral already ordered from the Hotel Corvallis block, aeross Mad ison street and through the postofflce block to a connection with the Jeffer son street main. The other is a two block sewer through the. Farmers' ho tel block and the block north of it to a connection with the Van Buren main. . '.. Very low rates have been made by the3. & G. on account of the W. O. W. carnival. They are a one fare rate for the round trip to Corvallis from Albany and ail points west. The tickets are good fn. m June9tb to 15th inclusive on all regular trains. On Albany day. which is the 11th Ids'-, the fare from Albany to Corvallis will be fifty cents for the round trip,, and tickets will be good either on regular or special trains. In the evening of that day a train will leave Albany at 7;30, and returning, will leave Corval lis about 11 :30 p. m. Mr. Hall, father-ia-law of O. G. Buntio, who purchased the Quivy farm last fall, was one of a party of ; three that climbed Mary's Peak Sun day. A fact that makes the incident particularly interesting Is that Mr. Hall is 72 years of age.' The trip was made on foot, and the entire as cent and descent accomplished in the heat "of last Sunday. Mr. Hall is an Iowan, and after a vleit of six months at the Buntin home, Is to leave tomor row for his home in 'the East. . Those who accompanied him on the tiip . to the top of the Peak were O. Q: Bun tla and David Hood, -vv. An elegant white rraple bedroom set adorns one ot the show windows of J. D. Mann & Co. This Is a present selected by the committee to be given to the couple publicly uniting in mar riage under the auspices of the Wood men, as an attraction of the carnival: Marriages under similar conditions have been quite common in the past, and so far as is known, they have proven happy ones. A number ot la dies and gentlemen have been in to look at the furniture having in view matrimonial possibilities. Thursday a young lady was viewing the furni ture and remarked that if only a wil- lln' Barkis should present himself, she would take the furniture. None but gentlemen already provided -for were present, and she walked out. just as Bob Johnson stepped in. Bob ad mired the furniture, but thought he was unable to command the means of securing it. D. M. Smithy told him about the frame of mind of the vounor lady" who had just left the store, and Bob hustled away to overtake her. The result is not known, but it is very probable that the would-be benedict's courage failed him if he nearly ap proached the object of pursuit. concluded that he was not saved, and affected to believe that he could be saved only through the Come outers. He pretends to know now that he is saved, but whether he was lying before or now I can not tea, ,ver since, months ago, so j many members of the . army here went over to the comeouters, or Holy Rollers, as ihey are some times designated, the work of the army has been very difficult, be cause that organization seems to make a greater effort to win mem bers of other churches than it does to win sinners ' These were the words of Lieutenant Manus, spoken in a dejected manner, and he was doubtless much affected by the con dition of affairs. Ensign Brown, who has charge of the social work of the army in Portland was here Monday to wind np affairs of the organization in Corvallis. He gave up the building in which meetings have been held, and the furniture and fixtures were stored for the present in rooms near by. The Salvation Army is to withdraw from Corvallis for an indefinite time. The boom of the bass drum is hushed, and the notes of "Down Where the Living Waters Flow" is silent, possibly forever, in Corvallis. At one time membership of the Salvation Army here numbered about twenty-five, but some months ago they went over almost m a body to a sect established here denominated Comeouters. This new order is apparently very devout, but their customs, rites and formalities are so queer and unusual that the organization has been the subject of much comment from those who do not enter fully into the idea of al lowing persons to worship uoa in the manner that seems to them best. At present the Comeouters aret holding a protracted campmeet- mg on the Kiger Island, and here it was that Major Brooks was con verted to their belief. It is said that the conversion of Brooks was quite spectacular; that in his spiritual ex citement he saw and described the devil approaching enwrapped in a network of snakes, and having frogs, lizzards and other hideous reptiles clinging to his body; that as a means of placating his devilish majesty he tore off his Salvation Army cap and coat and hurled them into the fire. Then he swoon ed and became oblivious to his sur roundings,-an incident common to the rites of the sect, Access to the camp ground and to the services is not enjoyed by the public, presumably for the rea son . that many . wish to attend through curiosity mainly, FOR SEWER FLUSHING.
