Misses Eva and Evea Apple gate an ived Thursday after a sea son of bop picking in the Burton yard at Independence. .. In the new registrati n , no w in progress at the clerk's office, the elector is required to give his polit ical preferences. The requirement is a provision ot the new primary election law, and will aprly to all voters in future cases of registra-J tion. "Did Jimsy inherit ujything from the old millionaire beHbadied to for so many yea's?" "Nothing but an old painting of the old man." "What did he do with it?" "Put it into the hands of a me chanical expert. He thinks maybe there's a secret drawer with a for tune in itr" Detroit Free Press A communication sent by an unknown writer to the Times office, is not published because unsigned. The Times wants to print commu nications for all people, but for obvious reasons, it is essential that the identity of the writer be known in the office, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith. Father. "What does the date in the address on my Times stand for Son? Young Son. It tells to what date your subscription is paid, Father." Father. right you are, my Son; and mine you will notice, is not very well kept up." Young Son. "Yes, that is what Neighbor Jones said about it. He aaid it looked like you were not very good about paying your bills." The Times is requested once j more to call attention to the man ner in which some citizens stake cows in the streets. The rope or chain is allowed to be so long that passing vehicles mustoften be driv en over it. The chance of a sud den lifting of the tether, or its foul ing in the wheels is a danger that is always present in such cases, and one that will sometime claim its victim. Staked cows should be tethered with a short rope that slides along a longer one parallel to the street. 1 Corvallis house owners are in a rush now in connecting their re sidences and closets with sewers. The new city ordinance making it a $50 fine for failure to make such connections is causing a general movement for the better sanitary conditions. The chief of police is giving everybody ample time to make the move of their own motion, but after a reasonable time, those who have not complied with the new law will receive notice to do so. At a meeting 1 nursday even iag, the Citizens League adopted a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the business men that the city should secure authority from the legislature and issue bonds to refund the present indebtedness Twenty thousand dollars was men tioned as the amount of borMs that should be issued.- In favor of the plan it was argued that the city now pays six per cent on its in debtedness, while by an issue of bonds, the interest rate could be reduced to four or four and a half per cent. The vote for the reso lution was unanimous. Local booksellers have just passed through such a trade in school books as they never encount ered before. The extra 100 young people over what was ever before at the college, and each a purchas er of lour or five books made a de mand that was unexpected, and unprovided for. For five successive days one dealer sent in an order to a Portland supply house, both on the noon and on the evening mail, making two per day in order to meet demands. The local book stores were full of books a week a go but now the big stocks are all gone, or as one dealer xepressed it, his stock is lower than it has been for years. Wednesday was their wedding day; but there was no wedding. They came from the Yachats, in Lincoln County, passing through that county's shire town enroute, and applied for a license. The law is no respecter of Cupid or any body else. That they found out when they appeared at the Benton county clerk's office, and falteringly asked for a license. It could not be granted, that was all and there couldn't be a wedding without it. iSut Clem Moses, who. lor some reason, has shown great sympathy in such cases heretofore, rose to the occasion and wired to the coun ty clerk of Lincoln to supply the missing license. It came a day late, but it came, and within a few short minutes after its arrival, the two were made one by Rev. Moore. He is Martin Lyon h and she. Miss Pearl Williamson.

FOR MOUNTAIN WATER t Prof. Knisely of the college left Wednesday for the East. He is to attend the National Association of Colleges at Des Moines, and will spend a short1! trie in research work at Cornell University. He is to be absent a month. " Armed with his O AC diploma, which be received in the class of '90, and with credentials from the offices in Portland and Philadelphia where he had done, architectural drawing, Leslie Murray recently made application to the University of Pennsylvania for admittance a a student, and was admitted. He .s now taking the Junior year work n that well known institution, a fact which speaks volumes for OAC graduates. , The gathering" of the prune crop is in proaress. On the east side of the Willamette, most of the fruit has been picked, but on the Corvallis side the beginning is later. A yield of ico or 200 bushels in ordinary orchard is the usual out put this season. None of the driers on this ride of the river are running, most of the fruit will be hauled across tha river where the Stone and Millhollen driers are in operation. TALKED LOCAL OPTION. Men Behind MqTe- ment for it Proposed Band Issue Citizens League did Subject to be Argued at Future Meeting. Local option and its bearing oa Corvallis finances occupied the at tention of the Citizens League at a meeting Thursday evening. The topic was discussed at some length and it is to be the chief subject for L; consideration at the regular meet ing of the Leagu", to beheld the first Tuesday in October, Tie question of whether or not the League shall take a stand against local option, as a matter of econ omic policy, may be submitted to a vote of the members. This at least was the proposition suggested by more than one member in the dis cussion I nursday evening. It was by accident that the League drifted into a discu&sioa of local option. The indebtedness of the city, the revenues and the ex penditures, and the question of whether or not bonds should be is sued for water works and for re funding the present indebtedness, were under discussion, when a member suggested that provision would have to be made for a higher city tax levy, in case at the coming election, the town should go dry. Within a short time thereafter, lo cal option had control of the meet ing to the entire neglect of all other topics, Several members made speeches on the subject, and there was a mild argument on the point of whether or not a question' like local option was a proper sub jest for the League t act upon. If there were local optionists present, they were silent, for every speech made expressed doubt as to the ad visability of adopting the measure, though most of the speakers ex pressed the view that it was very likely to carry in Benton county. Because the attendance at the meet ing was limited, it was agreed to defer consideration and possible action until a future meeting, when there should be a free fight in a fair field with all sides represented. As is well known, a bier suit is pending in which Portland liquor dealers are seeking to overthrow the local option amendment, adopt ee at the June election. The at tack on the measure is on constitu tional grounds, and is so made that it involves, among other important questions, the validity of the init iative and referendum. The business men of Corvallis are . back of the movement for Mountain water." 1 hey put them selves On record Thursday evening when at a meeting of the Citizens League they appointed a committee of their number to take up and push the mountain water question, and to act in an advisory capacity with ih-3 city council in securing such change of the city charter as will permit the issue of bonds for mountain water purposes. The committee is,.. E.R.Bryson, S. L. Kline. E. EvW.lson, and Dr. Har per.' .' : . ' ;V -The comrjjittee was appointed after an ext-nded con-ideration of the suhjectof mountain wat r. An expreeuon of universal indorement of any reasonable plan for securing it, was manifest. Mr. Woodcock thought it would perhaps be neces sary for the city to advance Say. $10,000, $15,000, or possibly $20. 000 towards the scheme in ordtr to secure a favorable bid. He was ap parently not in favor of municipal ownership. Senator. Avery wag; an earnest adv. cate of a mouHtain wa ter system, and spoke several times in-advocacy of the League taking action in support of the plan.: He said the city council would be glad to be supported by the businessmen in an undertaking of the sort, es pecially when such support was vuiced by action of the LeagneV He favored, if that line should become necessary, an issue of bonds by the city to ossist in raising capital for construction purposes. The mat ter of the present bid for a system was mentioned, and the assertion' made that barring criain provis ions, it was not, wholly out of the question, and that there were sub stantial interests back of it. Sena tor Avery also asserted that it was expected that one, and possibly two other mountain water bids would be made to the council in the ner future. - r -V: Black Cat Bread - CMcaao-Rocldord Hosiery Company.

That tie play "Sidetracked" has been played at Cordrays thea tre every night of this week, and the Portland papers have given it extravagantly praise, are facts that protect Corvallis theatre goers in purchasing their tickets f or " Tues day evening's entertainment from any chances. This company con tains eleven people that have accom panied Mr. Walters from Chicago and the play will be given in Cor vallis with ihe same people and all the scenery Jhat is now being used in Portland. Monday's Ore- goman said of the attraction, in part: - "Two large and demonstrative audiences greeted the openiug per formances of "Sidetracked" at Cordray's theatre yesterday after noon and evening, and the ' 'stand ing room only" sign being out in the evening, Cordray ; audiences are always demonstrative, but the vigorous hissing which greeted the mimic villainy of Rod D. Way. The honors of yesterday were borne easily by Jules Walters, but comic lines do not make a comedian out of a wooden Indian, and so Mr. Walters supplies the fun himself. His every appearance was the signal for laughter and the applause he received was well de served'. ''Sidetracked" is described on the programme and the lithographs as a comedy, but it is also a melo drama. Into two of the four acts specialities are introduced which consists of comic songs by Jules Walters, classic songs by" Louise Llewellyn and Adelaide Walters. Reserved seats 50 cents.
