' V;v bis VETO. '
A seventy thousand dollar ap
propriation for the purchase of new
grounds and construction of new
building for the Deaf Mute School
is added to the numerous vetoes by
Governor Chamberlain. On the
principle that the canine yelps, that
the stone thrown at the pack
hits, every veto by the governor
comes in for criticism. The cut
ting off of appropriated state funds
invariably disappoints some inter
est, and a yelp results. In every
case, it is the other fellow's appro
priation that the average reformer
desires vetoed.
' It is possible that the governor
may in some instances of veto be
partly or even wholly wrong. It
is human to 1 err, and Governor
Chamberlain's judgment, in spite
of its known sincerity and fine dis
crimination, might lead him occa
sional! v astray. Yet, it is a fact
that, large as has been the number
of his vetoes, the great rank and
file of the taxpayers by united voice
would, could .they speak, beg the
governor to use the veto not less,
but more.
KNIGHTS GALOFE.
Miss Marguerite Foy entertained
a large audience: at the Opera
House Thursday ' evening. He
spiritual manifestations mystified
those who looked on. Afpmmitfee
of well known citizens Drought on
the platform for the purpose could
detect nothing by which to explain
the phenomenon. " A number f
students, were taken to -the plat
form in the hypnotic - fests-anci the
results were amusing and interest
ing. George Cathey was put in a
cataleptic state and is declared by
Miss Foy to have been one of the
best subjects she has ever encount
ered. With his head on one chair
and his heels on another, . his body
supported ;a weight of 600 pounds.
Jfjss Foy is of fine intellect, -pleasant
personality and rare conversa
tional powers. She appears Friday
and Saturday evenings. . A new
law which takes effect in ninety
days prohibits hypnotic demonstra'
tions, and this is perhaps the best
opportunity to see such things in
Corvallis. , . .' .
Came, to Corvallis Over a Hundred
, Visitors Their Convention.
More than 100 visiting Knights
of Pythias were in Corvallis Wed
nesday afternoon and evening. The
occasion was the district convention
of the - order, and the delegates
were present from Marion, L,inn
and Polk counties. Salem and Al
bany sent drill teams which com
peted for places in the conferring
of the secret work, and were award
ed prizes as follows: Salem, first;
Hubbard, second; and Albany,
third. ,
The meetings of the convention
were held in the Odd Fellows Hall.
The latter place was availed of for
the purpose, because it was suspec
ted that the K. P. hall would be
too small to accommodate the crowd.'
The Knight's hall was used for a
banquet, which was served in the
small hours of the night. In the
competitive work, the third degree
was conferred on three candidates,
once by each of the visiting teams.
After secret work and the banquet
had been disposed of, there was an
address of welcome by J. F. Yates,
and responses . by various of the
visitors, including Mr. Cake ot
Portland, Mr. Wrightsman of Salem
and other representative Knights.
A series of story telling followed
the regular order and filled up the
small gap of time between the con
clusion of the order of business and
the departure via the six o'clock
train oi the visitors forlheir homes.
The occasion was a memorable one'
in jf ytnian annals, made tne more
so ' by the hospitality the local
knighthood knows so well how to
extend.

THREE. THOUSAND SHOTS. .
At Wednesday's. Shooting Tourna
ment The Prize Winners;'
The big' annual shoot of the

ing. Two. thousand eight hundred
and twenty targets , were shot, by

' HET PROMINENT PEOPLE.
Of Olden Times The Martha Wash-
- , ' ingtonTea. .
Curiosity is a well developed
trait in the American people of to
day, and to this fact,' as well as to
the enviable reputation of the
Methodist ladies as hostesses, was
due, perhaps, the marked success
of the Martha Washington Tea of
Wednesday evening. ' ; ; S '
The affair began in the church
parlors . at 5 o'clock,' and supper
was- served- until 7 30 by which.
time the un-expectedly large crowd
had literally "licked the platter
clean" and many people had to be
turned away supperless- This un
tortunate fact was caused principal
ly by the illness of many of the
church ladies who " were unable to
assist in the undertaking. -
A feature of the affair was the
Washingtonian costumes worn by
the ladies, who in flowered gowns
powdered hair and neckerchiefs
and caps.'waited upon the guests.
Several gentlemen also appeared in
costumes, adding variety to the
scene. The characters of George
and Martha Washington wereep
resented by Mr. and Mrs. Harley
Hall, Miss Marie Cathey represent
ing Martha's daughter, Miss Cus
tis. Miss Eva Starr represented
Betsy Ross, maker of the first flag
and Janet Blackledge " made a
charming Dolly 'Ross." ; "
In the . church auditorium from
8 to 9 an excellent musical and
literary program was given before
a crowded house. ; Each guest at
surper was presented with a dainty
souvenir hatchet, decorated with
cherries and red, white and blue
ribbon. The W. R. C. ladles
were present in a body, and assist
ed ably in the program, their aid
being very much appreciated by
the managers of the affair.
The proceeds, amounting to
about $40, will be used for parson
age improvements

Democratic Governor Did New Judge
in Second District.
By appointment of Governor
Chamberlain, Hon. Lawrence T.
Harris of Eugene has become a
circuit judge in the 2nd judicial
district. He serves the district as
a colleague of Judge James Hamil
ton, holding court in Lane, Benton
and Lincoln, while Hamilton will
preside over the courts of DouglasJ
Coos and Curry. It is supposed that
Judge Harris will preside at the
coming term of court to be held in
Benton beginning the 4th Monday
in March, which incidentally, will
be his first appearance on the
bench. He has ten days from the
date of his appointment, in whjeh
to qualify.
The new position was created by
the late legislature. The bill ap
peared in the House early in the
session, and was introduced . by
Bingham of Lane. It promptly-
passed that body, but in a form
differing somewhat from thaflm
which it passed the Senate. Orig
many it provided tnat the new
judge should hold court, in all
parts of the district, sitting either
for the law or equity bracnh as
should be determined by the two
judges, all after the fashion in
vogue in the 3rd district. In the
Senate, however, an amendment so
changed the plan that the new
judge must reside either in Lane,
Benton or Lincoln, andean only
hold court In these counties.
The real effect of the new ar
rangement, so far as the judgeships
are concerned, is to divide the
district and create a new one out of
the ; three northern counties. In
the case of the district attorney: no
change appears however, and Geo.
M: Brown will continue to serve
the six original- counties in
the district as public prosecutor.
Ultimately a complete disintegra
tion of the district and the election
of a prosecuting attorney for the
three northern counties' is likelv to
be provided for. It will not be
necessary, perhaps, but, that will
not stand for much if a future leg
islature determines upon a change.
As. it stands, the new judge will
serve by apjo'int inert until June .-6
when there will be an election, ' and
in the election all the six - counties
ot the disfr-fcw&l narticioate. - y
Coniid intesestcattarfx Jite
the appointment of Judge Harris,
for the reason that he is a republi
can, and the honor is bestowed by
a democratic governor. The con
dition is so unusual that it makes
the case of more than passing in
terest. This is especially true in
view of the fact that Hon. W. S.
Mc Fadden of Corvallis and Hon.
L- Bilyeu of Eugene, both life long
democrats, were strongly urged by
their friends for the place. Judge
McFadden, in particular had an
unusual following for the position.
He had the united support of the
Corvallis bar, regardless of party,
as well as the bar of Lincoln coun
ty. In both counties also, promi
nent republicans and leading demo
crats strongly urged his candidacy
upon Governor ' Chamberlain.
There was also very strong support
in the same interest from Douglas
county, and for some time there
was much confidence amohg lis
friends that Judge Mc Faddeu
would be named.
; It was decreed otherwise, how
ever, ' and Tuesday the mantle o;
ermine fell on Judge Harris. By
the act the governor rose above
party lines, and put into practice
his well known theory of a non
partisan judiciary. In his own
election as governor, to the execu
tive chair, Governor Chamberlain
received more than 7,000 republi
can votes. ' It is very likely" that
this factj and a desire to show his
appreciation of -the republican sup
port he theo received,- may also
have exercised - an influence in
causing him to name a republican
over a well known democrat for
the new judgeship. ; In any event,
the important position : - with its
salary of $3,000 a year, - goes to a
republican, and by the act, the gov
ernor establishes a good " precedent
for a non-partisan judiciary, fol
lowing at the same time the exam
ple of the republican electors of the
2nd district, who have repeatedly
declared in the same way by elect
ing and re-electing Judge Hamilton
a democrat to the judgeship.
Judge Harris is 31 years of age.
His father is Dr. T. W. Harris, a
former resident of Albany. He is
a graduate of the state1 university,
and two years ago served as speak
er of the Oregon House of .Repre
sentatives. '". It is common repute
among the members of the bar that
he is able and learned, and it is the
common estimate that - he - will
make a good judge. Monday's
mail carried to him a fine letter of
congratulation from Judge Mc Fad
den, and another letter from Judge
Mc Fadden went to Governor
Chamberlain, commending him for
the appointment.
