Mann had been president of the local missionary society of the First Methodist church. xThe fact was remembered by the other mem bers Wednesday afternoon, when, in honor of Mrs. Mann, who is visiting here, a reception was given in her honor at the home of Mrs. J. E. Farmer. The event was largely attended and dainty refreshments were a feature of the afternoon. A silver gravy ladle, engraved with the initials of the recipient, was presented to Mrs. Mann as a mark of esteem. Rev. Frank L. Moore, who has served the Methodist congrega tion as pastor for the past four years, was assigned by the late conference of the church to Cot tage Grove. The congregation there is a good one, and the charge important. The vacancy in the lo cal pulpit is fil e! by Rev. Feese, who has been pastor for a year at Cottage Grove. He is a late arrival from the East, and is de clared to be a strong churchman, both in and out of the pulpit He followed Br. Driver in conducting an important evangelistic meeting that was held in the local church last winter, and the fact is already known to many Corvallis people tnat .K.ev. Moore is to leave in a few days with his family for his new field. He is an able and ef fective churchman, and both he and Mrs. Moore carry with them the good wishes of many friends. In Benton Under Local Option Law Shall Saloons go. to be Decided in November Elect! mi. ' .; -Another local option battle i to be fought in Benton couaty. The smoke trom tbe skirmish lines ; is alreadv to be seen on the horizon The conflict this ime involves tbe question of wheiher or not saloons shall be allowed tu do business wita in the limits of Benton county. On the one side of tbe scrimmage line, will be arrayed those who want ev- i ery saloon in tbe county ut out of , business. On the other will be those who contend that the present conditions are ore desi:able than a county without a sal on. ' There is no doubt that the issue will al most overshadow the issues in the presidential campaign before elec tion day rolls round. , : . .-. . provision has already been made by the anti-saloon people to have the question of saloon or no saloon on tbe election ba lots. Petitions were filed two or three days ago with more than a sufficiency of signatures, and in response to the prayer of the petitioners the county court Thursday issued an order, di recting that the question be. sub mitted to a vote o the people in the November election. The pe tition is as follows: . 'We, the undersigned, legal voters of Benton county, Oregon, would respectfully petition that on Tuesday, the 8th day of November, 1904, an election be held to determine; whether the salffof in toxicating liquors shall" bet pro hibited in Benton county as a whole; that each by himself says, I have personally signed this petition and my residence, postoffice . and precinct are correctly written . after my name." Of signers in the original petiron there wai 258. Of these a num ber were not on the books as quali fied electors, and the legal count of them was 229. The law provides! that 10 per ceut of the votes cast for supreme j udge at the preced.ng election shalt be sufficient for re quiring a submission of . the ques tion to a vote of the people At the last' election in -Benton, the vote lor sup erne judge was 1,850, so that only 185 signatures were required. In addition to the 229 in the original petition, several other single sheets filled with sign ers came into the clerk's office. No count could be taken of these how ever, for the re -son that the law requires that all of the sheets at the time of the filing shall be attached together. It made no difference in the result however, for the original petition contained more than enough names to compel submis sion, and that is what has been provided for in an order of the court. At the late election, 381 more persons voted for the local option law than voted against it It is a significant fact however, that about 200 persons in tbe county did net vote on the question. Probably they did not have their minds made up, and preferred to leave the decisio n to their neighbors, If this 200 people in -the coming contest should go unanimously in favor of sal ions, it would still leave a balance of 181 on the other side. It is claimed that some of those who voted for lo:al option in June will, when it oomes to the actual question of abolishing the saloons in November, change front. It will take 91 of such per sons to give the saloon side a maj ority of one, pr -.vided none who voted against the measure in June now change to it. Thus the anti- optionists must hold all their June forces, must get all the votes of the 200 people who did not vote then and in addition, must get 91 votes that went against them in June to stand off the late majority. The petition represents all parts of Benton county, though most of the signers reside in the four Cor vallis precincts and the precinct at Philomath.' They were presented to the court by J. H. Wilson, and without comment. - ' With his Tears Unclaimed, 'and Claimless The Old Gray. It was an old gray horse. Time and the burdens he had borne had left tbe mark that comes, soon er or later to all," whether aan or best. He was able to - work no more, and an auctioneer was offer- i ing him to the highest bidder. It J was in the city pound and the auctioneer was the chief ot police. "Fifty cents" was the only bid, and it was made by the Police Judge. ."Fifty cents once, fifty cents twice, fifty cents three time on4 mU n 1A r.off, " ' and sold to Tudee Greffoz. "By the deal, the title to the -old horse passed from the hand of the late owner, and if the officers of the city should cboo-e to kill the animal to get him out of the way, the e was no one to bring a cl im for damages. ""Then a man came along who said he would take the horse home w.th him to X faster, and give him an easy time for the rest of his life- So Judge Greffoz part ed without price with his late pur chase, and the old gray started with a new master lor theAlsea country. But the "best laid plans of mice and men oft gangagle", and when next heard of, the old gray was in the vicinity of Thomas Cooper's place, where his efforts to get out frightened .. passing teams, and brought a feeling of pity to the hearts of passing men. He was un able to travel, aud all the . new owner could do was to leave the' old gray to. his fate. Various re ports came to town of the wretched ness and. misery of the old animal, and at - last,, accounts the county court was preparing to take means to bring relief from his troubles, those troubles that come with age, for the helpless old creature.
