Oorvallis Times. Official Payer ofJenUa Countr. OOBTAXXJ8, OREGON, OCT 5, 1904. A PERIL. If , as the New York Times avers Chairman Cortelyou is seeking contributions from the trusts with the understanding that the latter are not to be molested by . legisla tion or enforcement of existing laws the fact is to be deplored. The American nation is in- no danger from an outside foe. Its one and only menace is from , foes within, and these are the colossal corpor ations, entrenched as they are in special privileges and monopolistic power. The Anti-Sherman law fixes their existence as illegal, and the supreme court has held that law to be valid. This is the law of a great land, the dictum of a great people, and Chairman Cortelyou has no right, in consideration of contributions, to give secret assurance that it will be set - aside, or made Inoperative. In such a course, lies the greatest danger to the republic. If it con tinues to be practiced, and the trusts continue to gather strength and power, evil will come. "Equal rights to all, and special privileges to none is the safest maxim that evef a Nation rested on and the longer the American republic holds to it, the longer postponed will be that day of reckoning that has come fatally to so many govern ments. CARRIES MAIL. New Train Does Woes for the Local Postoffice. The new morning and evening train between Corvallis and Albany went into service yesterday.' It is a mail train, and will crry three pouches. The. added mail facility cive6 seven regular mail routes to Corvallis daily, a tremendous .in crease during the past few years, when.it has jumped from the West side and Yaquina routes to . the present number. The list of routes as it cow stands is, morning and evening train mail to Albany, even . ing and morning stage to Albany, Monroe mail, Dusty route, West side route, morning arrival and departure of Yaquina, afternoon arrival and departure of train from Albany, making seven in all. This is in addition to the departure and arrivals of the three R.F.D. routes. The changes make a vast differ ence in conditions in the local post office. There, the noon mails for merly were all that had to be hand led, and the work was confined to the few midday hours Now, the handling of incoming and outgoing mails begin with the arrival of the morning stage from Albany at 8:30, and continues until the arrival of the train mail from Albany at 8 o'clock in the evening. In short, there is scarcely an hour in the long postoffice day of fourteen hours or more, that doe not carry with it the duty of disposing of a newly arriving or departing mail. Added to this is two mails on Sun day, beginning with the morning stage from Albany at 10 o'clock, including the Westside train mail at noon, and ending with the de parture of the evening stage mail for Albany at four o'clock. Post master Johnson literally has no time for Sunday worship, and is a man of many woes. His moral standard is in serious danger of impairment, and the work in the office is so strenuous and confining that he is in danger of physical break down. $10.00 Reward.

The coming game will be with ': the Medical , department of the' state university which hails from Port land. Old Stanford, T. of O. and other students of prowess, repute and experience will be in the Med ico line-up. A heavy line that some people seem to think the OA C can not budge or break is said to be a feature of the doctor's el even, A center that is urged can do Walker, is alleged to be . with the team, and many people are in terested in seeing if the tale turns out to be true. The doctor's eleven is made up of graduate players from, literary in stitutions, and this year has a coach a schedule, and an ambition for a record. Someday the local team will be unable to score against it; others declare to the contrary, In any event, there will be a lively game, with the local team at play with some of the raw edges worn off that were a few times in evi dence in the Alumni game.

Monday evening, at the home of the groom s brother, Norton Ad ams, in the western part of town, the marriage of Newton R. Adams' of Corvallis, to Miss Anna Craw ford, late of Bloomington, Illinois, was solemnized, Rev. Mark Noble, officiating. The event was wit nessed by the immediate relatives of the interested parties and a few intimate friends. The bride was tastily attired in cream organdy, and carried a bouquet ot cream roses. " This marriage is the outgrowth of a boy and girl love affair, of long ago, in an Illinois town where the bride and groom attended school. Though years have passed with their varied experiences and trials, the friendship of aufil lang syne has never been forgotten, and the event of Monday evening was the final chapter in the romance. The bride was born and reared in Illinois, and came to Corvallis only two weeks ago. By all who know her she is highly esteemed for her modest, womanly character and untarnished reputation. The groom has resided in this city for eleven yearsand has many warm Iriends who join in wishing him all happiness. He is a member of the well known firm of Adams Brothers, contractor and builders. Mr. and Mrs. Adams will make their residence in Corvallis, where the groom will erect a cottage im mediately for their occupancy. To Hunters.

No More Leaks on the City Dads Work to Commence at Once The City , Hall. . ' ' .." The city hall is to have a new roof. An ordinance authorizing the improvement passed the city council &t a special meeting , Mon day night, and work is to begin in a day or two. . The material to be used is rubberoid, and it. will be put on by W. H. ; Downing of Portland for the Pacific Coast Rub ber Company. Rubberoid is a comparatively new roofing mater ial, for which great virtue is claim ed. It and kindred materials are fast supplanting tin for roofing purposes. It is the material that was used in the new roof on Hotel Corvallis. It has been used ex tensively for several years in Port land. It was invented 14, .years ago, and roofs that were covered with it , then are declareeV to be in good condition still. ' It is in use on big smelters in - Arizona, and it stands the heat of that cli mate fully as well as the cold of northern regions. Besides being a better, it is a cheaper roofing than is tin, since the tin trust got in .its work so effectively. ' ; In the case of the city hall, the new roof is to cost $454. The builders give a guarantee to keep the building free from leaks ' for a period of 10 years, and , put up a $500 bond to make the guarantee good. Under the contract the roof has to be painted at the . end of two years and again at the end of seven years ' from completion of the job. The - cornice and other ornamental work is all to be taken away temporarily while work is in progress, and is then to be replaced and painted, so that there is prom ise that the upper works of the building will soon present a neat appearance. The renewal of the city hall roof has long been an urgent necessity. The building has leaked badly for years, and much damage has resulted..' Last winter at one time, after a heavy storm the council chamber was almost afloat, with the matting all " under water, the walls and ceilings soaked and the drip, drip, of the freshet over head, a spectacle unusual ia the sacred room where the great fath ers of the city hold august conclave.

Is OAC Commandantnow Rose from - the Ranks Lieutenant Qninlan- - Lieutenant Quinlan, the new commandant at the college arrived Monday from California, and has assumed his dutits as professor of military science and tactics at the college. He . relieves Major Frank i . Edwards, who has been tempor arily in charge of the cadet battall ion, pending the arrival of Lieuten ant Qninlan. Lieutenant Quinlan was gradua ted in law from the University of Michigan with the class of 1894. H6 was promoted from the ranks, and served four years - - in - the Philippines. " While in the latter service.he organized the Macabebe, or native scouts, and was engaged in this service under Generals Law ton, Young, McArthur, Funston and Grant. He was wounded in the head by the 'Spaniards near Camp Dewey, July 31, 1898. On March 27, 1899, he was wounded in the left foot at Marilao. and the following November, he was wound ed in the breast at Aringay. Jan. uary 28, 1900, he was wounded in the right foot at Calbon. He was recommended for a medal of honor for bravery and efficient service by General Young, and for brevet commissions on the same account by General Law ton. Lieutenant Quinlan has been on sick leave for some time, and is attached to the 9th U.S. cavalry. Lieutenant Quinlan is a modest, and affable gentleman, and in every respect a typical military man. He still suffers somewhat from the effects of one of the wounds in his .foot. The record of bis scouting service in the Philippines is a continuous tale of valuable' work and hairbreadth encounters and escapes. BOYS SING. ' . At a Corvallis Function Ueltdies Sirprised and Pleased. Melody singing by a quartette of small boys at the City Hall Mon day evening was as delighttal as any music of the kind ever heard in Corvallis. One little chap, but seven years old, .sang with a voice of great power and exquisite sweet ness for one of such tender years. Another of nine or ten summers was even more wonderful in the rendition of solos and in quartette singing. " Rag time songs and ne gro specialties by a lad of 12 or thereabouts were so good that en cores galore were showered upon the youthful, artist. Best of all however, was the quartette singing in which the precision and blend ing of the voices without instru ment made a sweetness that charm ed everybody present. For a foun dation the child voices had the bass of a young man whose work was excellent. The whole per formance was a surprise ' and won der to those unfamiliar with the melody that can come from trained child voices. The singing was by a company of seven professionals, mostly little boys. The occasion was the "Smoker" given by the Fire Department in the , City Hall. Only firemen and members of the city council were present. Corn cob pipes and cigars were much in evidence for those who take to the weed, and the evening was a fine opportunity missed fey those not eligible to attend. The department is to give other functions of the kind during the winter, as a means of perfecting interest in the meetings of the organization.
