The plan was to go down to one of the Willamette bars late in tne evening and catch the geese and docks as they came in at nightfall. That is a favorite method, and a successful method,-r-provided there are geese and ducks. They had visions of a return Home with game bags stufled and conditions generally cheerful and cheering. Thare were six in the party. When they reached the river bar, eight others' were there. All the fourteen were armed to the teeth, and eager for the fray. Think of it fourteen men, fourteen guns and two hundred dogs and bags. Wnat a commo tion there would have been if the geese and the ducks had carried out their proper number on the programme. But, not a duck was stirring; not a goose flew. The note of the stray goose was heard in the dim dis tance, it is true, but he never got in sight. Three shots were fired at the note, but neither hit the goose. Finally, one lone jack snipe flit ted into view. Every one of the fourteen shotguns belched, one, two, or three times, until the last man was reached. Then, the snipe fell, mortally wounded, but they claim without a shot in him. The others say, he dropped dead at the sight of Wilson, A PRIZE WINNER. It Took Fifth Place at State Fair Now to be Seen in Corvallis. A small part of the grain and grass exhibit that won fifth place at the State Fair has been placed on exhibition at the real estate of fice of Watters &-Ambler on Main street. The specimens are the fin est to be bad, and make a credit able showing for Benton county's productiveness. Some of the grasses are as much as seven feet in length, while the grain is heavy and the heads of wheat, ' oats, bar ley and rye are a sight to please the man whose interests are in the ranch. The exhibit includes samples of wheat, oats, barley, rye grass, clo ver, corn, orchard grass, alfalfa, vetch, pop corn, sweet corn, and many other specimens from the field and garden. The samples were collected especially for Amb ler & Watters, and are not a part of the Lewis and Clark exhibit that is to be made from Benton county. Beside the grain and grass sup ply, Ambler & Watters have in their office one of the finest collec tions of photographs to be seen in this section. At the State Fair it was said that no other one exhibit attracted as widespread attention from all visitors as did this photo graphic display. Among the scenes pictured are many of Ben ton's well known farm homes, dairy herds, fancy chickens, mon golian pheasants, Corvallis business houses, Benton orchards, prune or chards, OAC buildings and grounds and many others. The whole exhibit is one that is worth the while of anyone to call and see, although the collection is not as complete as was the one that took the prize at Salem. " Trespass Notice.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. Far Corvallis Fire Department Wants one Would Cost Two Hundred or Less. , The Corvalli Fire Department, have a plan for the establishment cf a fire alarm system. . The plan proposes the installation of four fire alarm boxes connected -with a ringing mechanism on the roof of the City Hall, the whole cost to be about $200 or less. At a meeting of the department Monday, evening a committee of three was appointed to confer with the city council and ask that the city stand the expense. The Independent . Telephone Company offers to . place these alarm boxes in its central office, and connect up the system so that when an alarm of fire is telephoned in, the operator can instantly tarn in the alarm. The present fire bell will be retained but instead of the rope being used to ring -it, there will be a machine so placed that the turning in of an alarm by the operator will set this machinery in motion. The - city " is already divided into four fire districts and by the use of a chart the ' operator will know as the call comes in, what district the fire is. If from number three, she steps into box number three, pulls down a lever, and instantly the fire bell com1 mences to ring, continuously re peating three rings, and keeps this up until stopped by the operator. . The motive power is to be fur nished by the telephone company's storage battery and Mr. Devarney not only offers to install the plant free ol charge, but also to furnish the use of his battery free and have an employe of his office look after the plant without cost to the city In this way the city will be get ting a fire alarm system at about one half the cost of a similar sys tem if operated independently of the telephone office, and. without any cost to keep it up. Not only this but every one of the 250 tele phones in town will be in effect a call box. The Firemen believe that the new system would pay for itself.in less than a ye r. ' FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT. Wilhelms Order Plant for Monroe !-Telephone-System to he Installed. Monroe is to have an electric light plant. The necessary appli ances and machinery were ordered by Wilhelm & Sons of W. D. De Varney Saturday, and are expected from the Fast in about 30 days. Power for the plant will be derived from the water power of the Long Tom and can be used independent ly of whether or not the flooring mill is in operation. The plan embraces arc lights for the streets, and about 100 incandescents for residences and business places about town. A complete telephone sys tem is also to be installed, connect Monroe with Junction and Harris burg. Late improvement in the same town is a complete water system recently installed by the Wilhelms, operated also by the water power at the mill. . An im mense water tower and reservoir completely enclosed with shingles is a part of the plant, and from its pipes serve residences, business places and barns of the town. Mon roe is coming to be as metropolitan as the best of them. Remember the grand opening at Moses Bros.' store, the Arcade, on the 19th. Dont miss it.

' Hany Eugene Students Coming to Cor- . . vallis far- Big Annual Game ... .- Next Week. At Eugene, everything is in pre paration for the annual game of football to be played between the TJ of O and DAC teams at Corvallis a week from next Saturday. An excursion train has been chartered to bring the Eugene team and a big crowd of students and friends to Corvallis the morning of the game.- Sixty tickets have already been sold for the excursion, and it is expected that by the day of the gamethe number will be doubled or trebled. The train is to leave Eugene at nine o'clock in -the morning, v and on the reEnm trip leaves Corvallis immediately after the game. The members of the team at Eugene are working hard to get in the best possible condition for the game,- and the same is true of the men at OAC. . Besides the Eugene excursion, a special train is to come from Independence, Monmonth and other, westside - points, and the in formation is that students and others will . come from all parts of the Valley to see this annual game between the two leading education al institutions which is fast coming to be the greatest in interest of all the football games annually played lnOregon. 1 . WAS A QUIET DAY. More 4 Interest in Prohibition Than President Yesterdays Election. Yesterday's election was one of the quietest in the . history of Cor vallis. The bustle and activity usually incident to such occasions were conspicuous by their absence, and instead the prevalent air seem ed one of doze like that of a canine stretched out in the . sunshine who only stirs to snap at' some imperti nent fly. The man on the bicycle, flying in hot haste from polling place to polling place with an air of nearly all the world restmgon his shoulders was missed and so was that other one with his haad out for corruption fund. ' In former times the G.O..P. chairman had scads of money on - presidential election day, but it is supposed that the box was empty this year. Oregon has come to be too snugly and too surely republican to set .campaign boodle from the national committee any more, and therein is woe for such of the brethern as want pay for their votes. When ever a state wheels itself into one political column or the other too regularly or too strongly it breaks down profitable industry and in that it fails to bring into the state those shekels that, the trusts con tribute for carrying elections. That is the only time the trusts ever get plucked, and it is also the time when if the voter is wise, he man ages to keep his state in the doubt ful column. Eight years ago it was that way and, . in a back alley just before he went to vote, many an, honest old brother held one hand behind him while a foxy dude with a newly reaped chin and perfumed hair dropped a piece therein. , But it was different yesterday. Democrats and republicans walked to the polls together, almost hand in hand, with childish simplicity and never a note of discord or dis agreement. It was so beautiful to see them so blithe and trustful that it gave the serious-faced philoso pher who eyed the scene occasion to remark that the universal broth erhood of man was yet to come. But few people realized from oper ations and proceedings that a pres ident of the United States was in process of election. Perhaps it was because there was general present iment that the result in the nation was all one way. If not that, it might have been because presiden tial issues were more or. less ob scured by the prohibition issue. On the latter issue more or less, quiet work was doue. It too, had a gen eral presentiment, however, that the result was tobe all one way, or a hotter fight would have been seen. It has been understood for sometime that the anti-prohibitionist side had but little hope of a triumph, and a certain decadence of interest naturally intervened. In the prohibition voting, one thing was observable. It is a thing to which John Henry made refer ence in his letter in Saturday's Times. Occasionally members of the church voted against prohibi tion, while numerous . drinking men voted against them. It is perhaps not surprising, since the best of men have different estimates of the conditions that will follow prohibition, and to what degree they will be satisfactory. x ' .
