All the evolutions inci dent to military tactics will be in evidence, and the drill will doubt less be an attraction to townspeople.

Miss Mattison having obtained first place in the list was awarded a fountain pen. V.. 'iff A consuming query in many parts of Benton is the question of what is to be the price of chittim this season. ' From the best obtain able information, the price is not yet fixed, and there is only con jecture as to what it will be. Dealers abroad are apparently making no offers. Local buyers have sought everywhere for dealers who would take the product in quantities and at desirable figures, but without avail. Some regard tbe situation as discouraging, andothersclaim that there are large offerings of the bark there will naturally be a price. A few small lots have, sold in town at five cents per pound. In all, the sales so far, will, hardly aggregate 300 pounds. Their Anniversary. 5j On Saturday evening seventy five friends enjoyed the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. M. S.

Dr. David La vine of Portland, , whose arrival was delayed, spoke a few brief words of eulogy, in which the simple character, , and honorable work of the deceased were truth, lully set forth. The sermon liken ed the passing of the ' deceased to the arrival ot a heavily freighted ship in port after the storniy pas sage of life, and said that, since death is a mere "passing on" and not a "passing away," that the present was an occasion, not for mourning, but for thanksgiving.

Steps are afoot ' For Corvallis to extend a fitting welcome to the Grangers ot Oregon when ? they meet in this city for a four days session the latter part of the month, The city council has moved in the matter with a purpose of - inducing business men and others to follow in a general manifestation of hos pitality, such as befits the unusual occasion. . A committee of arrange ments has been appointed in be half of the city, with full power to act, and this committee is . charged with the duty of enlisting business men for a suitable decoration ot business bouses, lor a general - dis position on the part of local citi zens to make the visitors feel that they are guests of - the town, and for such other duties on behalf of the city as may tend to show the visitors that Corvallis is glad to have them hold their annual ses sion within her limits. The real ization that in the State Grange the Agricultural College has one of her best friends, and that the members 01 the grange may be made to know that Corvallis citizens are hearty supporters of the college and.of the interests of the grange, is the purpose behind the plan. The action of the council was taken in response to a communi cation from Corvallis Grange, re questing that some official action be taken by the' council, recogniz ing the approaching . grange ses sion, and evincing a nospitaoie purpose with reference thereto. The action is commendable, be cause representatives from the 100. gran'ges in the state will be in at tendance, and because the member ship of these granges through the state is the recruiting 1 grounds from which a large section ; of the students at the college is drawn. The session, which begins on the 24th and continues four days, af fords opportunity for- Corvallisites to do their college and their town great and lasting good. r If the action of the council be heartily endorsed by citizens and business men, and the plan be car ried out as proposed, no mistake will be made. The' impression made upon the visitors will , be bread cast upon the waters which will return after many days. fiacte Hbout SUirts!
