Three business mm were elected to membership, and a considera ble amount of routine vwoik was disposed of. Action was taken providing for a reduction of the dues from $3 to $1 per year, and a commit tee was appointed to report proceed are by which to change the constitution accordingly. Of other matters consid ered at the meeting, mention Is made elsewhere. - r The Marguerite Fischer theatrical company began a two nights engage ment'at the Opera, house Monday ev ening In A Oouotry Girl," with Miss Fischer In the title role. The attend acce wax very good and tbe perform ance eni yabla.- Slnca her last visit to Corvallis, Miss Fischer has develip- ed much, and in the "Country Girl rendered her pafrt most acceptably. Th'at she has talent, none question, and were opportunities for t-tudy of her profession afforded, a briht fu ture would likely await her. The other member's of the company . were good ia their various roles, and the perform ance as a whole, deserving. ', The- Dairymen's association of Oregon is to hold its annual meeting In Corvallis within the next few weeks, The session will cover two-- days, and will be held December 15h aocV16th A confiderabLe number of members will be ia attendance, and an Interest ing programme of discussion will pre vail.

Monday was the last day for a voldlag tbe penalty for payment of raxesi Those, who paid ,yesterday or are to pay hereafter will have to pay both Interest and a 10 per cent, peoal ty. A considerable number have so far. failed to make payment. The number of receipts this year is much larger than . heretofore. "When the sheriff's cffiee closed Monday evening, the books showed that about 2,320 receipts had been Issued this year. The number on the, same date' last year was 2,197. Formerly the number of tax: receipts issued, was only about 1,800.'; Thelnerease Is partly due to Increase of population, and-partly to the dual receipts issued to those who pay half 'their.., taxes -at a-time. The amount of. money taken In.byihe sheriff In' the collection - of . delayed payments is about $5,000. Warm rains at tbe past few cays have given much satisfaction to Ben ton stockmen and farmers. " Pastures are almost bare now of grass. With out rains there was prospect that tbe unfortunate conditions of last winter with barren pastures and dying stock would again prevail. Tbe condition helped to make hay high and livestock low. Milch cows have been offered at figures far below what they have been in years. . A well-known stockman . .is said to have offered four cows, all un der four years old at ? $10- per head. Another ofiered to buy for a dealer all he needed at $10 to $15. With a new grass crop that seems now assured these prices will, not long prevail. Hence, the rains have been welcomed with many a glad smile by all kinds of people. ' ":. ':'-.' This is a short tale of how two well-known football players had a joke turned on them the other night. They had business up " town as is sometimes the case with boys, they tarried long enough to perpetrate a joke on a third patty. About that time a man swooped suddenly down In their direction whom they '.mistook for tbe nightwatch, ; He was in reality, Qaach McFadden, who had foreknowl edge of what was going on. The jok ers didn't wait to Investigate. :! The; thought that It was officer Osburn was enough and ." they lit out " for homes, They longed to make a quick touchdown on their virtuous : pillows where nightwatcbes never molest or make boys afraid. - Down back alleys, up srreets and across lots they ran like quarter horses, Coach McFadden in hot pursuit. Tbe moonlight stream ed and their breath cam a in gasps when at length at the fountain on the college campus they paused long enough to discover that their pursuer had been distanced, , They know now what they fled from, and bo do other folks. "." - Nearly Two Hundred Served With First 1 ' Dinner at Hotel Corvallis. ' , Hotel Corvallis was thrown open to the public Monday evening. No eftort had been made to make it so, but the occasion took on the char acter almost of a social function. Corvallis families in numbers were in waiting in the office, ' read ing room and parlors when the door to the dining room was thrown open. Tables had been engaged by various parties in advance, but the rush was so great that the manage was powerless to hold them in cases where guests arrived late. Though the tables seated fifty or sixty, they were repeatedly filled, and the eve ning was well along before the last diner had been served. . After re tiring from the dining room, the guests were shown through the building, many remaining for a while to visit with each other in the luxurious parlors. The open ing in every way must have been a source of gratification to Mr. and Mrs. Hammell, for it lacked noth; ing. The service : and appoint ments in the dining room were es pecially enjoyable to all the guests. While the dinner was in progress the Arion Orchestra, stationed near the fountain in the reading room, rendered enjoyable musical selec tions. The menu was: Queen Olives Celery Sweet pickles Boullion Cream Tomato Soup Boiled Ham " Champaign Sauce Roast Prime Beef Youg pig Apple Sace ; Y6ung Turkey Cranberry Jelly Banana Fritters Cream Sauce Lobster arid Chicken Salad Mashed Potatoes Green Peas ; Candied Sweet Potatoes Cherry and Lemon Cream Pie English Plum Pudding . Apricot Sherbet Assorted Cake Fruit Confectionary Cheese Crackers .Tea Coffee Milk During the evening dinner was served to 170 persons. Of the number 160 were local townspeople, among whom were, J.

THEIR HUNT FOR CHITTIM. - J And Diffculties They Encountered Re turn ofCorvallis Party. j - - . . Several of ; the - chittim home steaders have returned to Corvallis, They journeyed to theYachatseoun try last week. " So fir, none of them have made filings on what they found. The search, in fact, seems not to have been entirely successful. "We have a dozen places on the string," ; said one of the party, "but we do ,. not ' know yet as to how many or what we will file on." . The trip was fruited with vicis situde, according to all accounts. The rain poured, the wind ble.w, and chittim trees were scarce. The trees and trees that it was expected to find in the Yachats country, with trunks with precious bark, were hot discoverable. The search went over logs, down into deep , ca ons, through salal brush, and sal mon berry bushes ; Fifty dollars each was to have been paid a lo cator who was to pilot the members of the party to government quarters bristling with chittim trees. One spot so far from civilization that it would cost thousands to cut a mule , trail into it, was found, whereon a few stray chittim trees waved and bent under the pressure of the gale, fresh from the ocean. There were four in the party, besides the lo cator, the laiter of whom is a resid ent of the Yachats country, and presumably familiar with the re gion. But all were, as a matter of cold fact, hopelessly lost. They knew they were in the vicinity of of Saddle Back mountain, made famous by the fact that a party of Corvallisites lost their way there a few years aeo, but beyond this they knew nothing. The sun, when it could be seen through the clouds and tall timber, refused to be in the' east at rising time, or in the west at settinsr time. It was at all points of the compass to members of the par'y, Civilization and the ocean beach was finally - found by descending mty a deep canon, and following a mountain brook's wind ings until it finally, approached the ocean. '.' One of the party told about the extreme crookedness of the roads of the . Yachats country. The highway turned suddenly so many times, he said, that at one time the horses ate oats out of the hind end ofthe wagon. At another time, he said, he was driving a team and following along behind the locator . The5? oad turned so often and - so sharply ' that about every two min utes he met the locator coming from. the opposite direction. "That': he said, "was on the Yachats mountain road; but the Preacher Creek road was worse. : It turned so sharply that one of the party, who rode a wheel had to back . his machine twice in order to make a turn. 7 .:; : ; . -. James Flett, who has joined the chittim contingent has been heard from. .:' A man who arrived Monday from the Five Rivers . country says he saw James on Lobster Sunday afternoon. ' With the rain coming down in torrents, the ..-newspaper man, on the hurricane deck of a broncho, and with a far away chit tim look on his visage, had bis face in the direction of the setting sun, and was journeying on, on. on.
