The con dition of his mother is improved, and though for some time the worse was expected, there is now hope of a recovery. The fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Radir was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Graham Wednesday evening The couple was married in Pittsburg, Pennsyl vania April 6, 1854, and later be came pioneer residents of the vicinity of Corvallis. As a maiden Mrs Radir was Miss Margaret Leethman and is a native of the Emerald Isle. Mr. Radir is a native of Germany. .The anniversary was celebrated with supper and a subsequent period of social conversation, in which many old time friends participated. Great sympathy was expressed by bystanders on Mam street T. hurs day afternoon for a stranger, who was in deep grief. The evidence of the mental and heart agony through which he was passing was observable by everyone. He was a traveling agent for a California nursery. About . midafternoon he received a telegram from San Fran cisco, announcing the death of his wife. Five minutes beforeih.had dropped a letter in the I3af .:post office, addressed to her "Later, he called at the office for the letter, ex plaining through sobs and tears that it was no use now, and the in cident moved deeply those gathered in the vestibule. City authorities . have been bothered for several days with the problem of what to do with rubbish. A general cleaning up is to be in augurated when things dry up a little, and the town is without a dumpingground. Plansare now afoot to build a chute off the high bank to the river near Dixon Creek and from there drop rubbish into the Willamette. If this arrangement is effected, then there will remain the dilemma of what to do with dead ani mals. In the past, the city has had various burial places" Things have developed however to make all of them unavailable. A dead horse was started on the way to one of them the other day, and when half way there the procession was halted by the owner and ordered back to town. For the present the animal that dies - J .1 r v 1 1 . . 10 iu uduget 01 uemg aemea aeceni . burial. Mordaunt A. Goodnough, at present director of the piano de partment at the Oregon Agricul tural College, has resigned his po sition at that institution, his resig nation to take effect at the end of this term. Mr. Goodnough has been elected principal of the piano department of the Western Acade my of Music, Portland. Oregon, and will assume his duties at that place next fall. While his friends will be pleased to hear of his good fortune in securing such a position of distinction, still it will De ming led with regret on their part, in somuch as Mr. Goodnough is a pianist and teacher that it will be hard to duplicate in this part of the country. His mother and sister will continue their residence in this city and . Mr. Goodnough will make frequent trips to Cor vallis in the interest of his music business. One Used Shotgun and the Other a Re volver Happened in Alsea. Our unusually quiet valley was thrown into a state of excitement Tuesday morning by the report that a battle royal had been fought out on Milt Creek, with A. D. Ho ard and E. M. Kimball as com batants. " - " During the skirmish, Huardre lied upon a double barrel shotgun while Kimball yielded a 38 caliber revolver, 3 inch barrel- Huard took first shot at about 30 steps range, the shot taking effect in Kimball's face and chest. Kimball returned the fire. J When Hoard fired the other barrel, the charge sprinkled Kimball about the abdo men, hands and torearm. -Kimball continued, to fire until his gun was empty, when" both finding themselves out 01 ammun ition, they retreated in good order. Huard was unhurt and Kimball is not seriously injured, . although eight shot took effect in the face. Bad blood has existed tor some time and all diplomatic and other relations have been cast off long ago. The trouble is! over territory both claim and a road which Kim ball wants to cut across the corner of Huards place. -No complaint will be charged by either of the parties. '-- The battle took place in front of Huard's house On a vacant por tion of Huard's place. The men had engaged in a war of words a few minutes before on Kimball's land. Both went to their houses about two hundred yards, and later Kimball started over Huard's laud to where a neighbor was cutting wood: f Huard emerged with a shot gun and Kimball turned to walk away. Kimball turned his iace to look back just in time ' Jto receive the charge of snot Irom Huard. s gun. The blood ran down Kim ball's face and is believed to be the cause of the latter s poor marksmanship;- .V-"- - - - ' - 'too MUCH MAIL. . THEIR BIG .SHOOT. - By Albany Route Change of Arran gement Under Consideration. F. W. Vaille, assistant superin tendent of the railway mail service, with headquarters at Portland was in Corvallis for a few hours Wed nesday morning. His trip had chiefly to do with the new Albany Corvallis mail route. The volume of mail carried by that route has become so great that- something of a problem has arisen in handling it. Ten big sacks of matter are not in frequent, constituting a weight far beyond what was expected and offer ing serious inconvenience tothetar- rier. It is possible that arrange ments will be made for less urgent mail like public documents and other franked mail to be held in Portland for the morning westside instead of coming out on the east-, side the evening before. - Mr. Vaille is the man who organ ized the mail service in the Philip pines over which he presided as Director of Posts for three, years.
