The lights are shining brightly of nights nowadays in what used to be the Ben Woldt saloon. Inside, the bar is as usu il and there is, if all accounts be true, booze for those who are able to gain admission. The. place is the home ot the Corvallis Social Athletic Club, and the Corvallis Social Athktic Club is a new organization, launch ed the other day with a member ship which the promoters place at 73. According to the statement of one who holds membership, it costs a dollar to join, and 40 cents per month for dues. The dollar pro vides for life membership and the 40 cents per month is to pay for lights, rent, wood,, and other in cidental expenses. The member walks up to the bar, according to this deponent, calls for such drink as he wants, and puts the money in a receptacle for the purpose. Or, if the member is in good standing financially and otherwise, and has frequent occasion for drink, an ac count may be kept of the amount of wet goods furnished him and he be permitted to pay this bill once a week or once a month. The claim is that this manner of conducting the business removes it from the operation of the local option law, the member when he pays his mon ey for the drink actually perform ing an act wherein he pays a part of the money to himself as -a mem ber of the club. Another statement is that the drinks will not be served the mem bers by the drink, but that each will have a strong box which his key alone can unlock, aud that the club will furnish liquor to him only as often as his supply in the box is exhausted. The effect, in anv event, is exactly that of a saloon, run without a city license and not withstanding of city and state law, butdoing business only with certain trusted persons, limited in number, x ne runner claim is mat tne pro moters consulted lawyers in Port land, and that the opinion has been vouchsafed that the so-called . club cannot be disturbed in its opera tions by the local or state author ities. The lawyers so consulted are Ed Mendenhall and his brother of Portland. rromoters also claim mat a sim ilar organization is in operation at HoodRiver with a membership of 500, and that there is another at Lebanon with a membership of 250. The club is incorporated. The i incorporators are, C. C. Geer, a 3rU GRAND oiHnniversary Sal ESI "Tflii III Hill ' TRINE'S OPERATION. Mrs. George Hovendon daughter of Portland, and Mrs Norris Humphry and daughter - of Eugene were among those passing through Corvallis the past few days enroute to Newport for a vacation rest. Sunday was a great day for picnic parties on Oak Creek. Among those who spent the day in that fashion were Mrs. M. Jacobs and family, Mr. and Mrs. GraDt Elgin, Mr. and Mrs. John Allen and Mr. and Mrs. Dick Kiger. Several other parties also drove out from Corvallis. The following sales of real es tate have been made by Ambler & Watters; George Bayne to A. J. Gump, 565 acres at Wren station, price $7,5oo; Frank Skipton to Martin Sheiern, 71 acres 2 miles south Philomath, price $30 per acre; August Young to Hilda Gus tafson house, lot and frac. in Jobs Add. consideration $1. In a runaway that transpired on the streets Monday afternoon, Birrell the deliveryman, and his son who was in the wagon at the time, were both thrown out. The father suffered a sprain in both ankles. The son was more seri ously hurt. Two of his ribs were fractured, the ends puncturing the lung. M. 1 . Starr has leased the room formerly occupied by the OK barber shop, and carpenters have been engaged in removing the par tition between it and the confection ery. The two rooms will be thrown into one, and the establishment of Mr. Starr will thus be largely in creased in size. Physical Director is Fast Recovering Goes to Games Next Saturday. The news from the hospital where Physical Director Trine is a patient is very encouraging. He is swiftly recovering from the late operation, and if all goes well he will attend the national inter-col- legiate athleticf games to transpire at the Fair next. Saturday. and I terrible pain with which he suffered, the torments of perdition throughout the winter are gone. 1 he belief of his physician is the malady with which he was af flicted was successfully removed by the late operation. Mr. Trine him self, i s now able to walk out on the porch at the hospital, and is regularly wheeled about in an arm chair'.. The whole promise is that within a short time the well known athlete and trainer will be completely restored to his old health and usefulness, in spite of the late prospect wherein it almost seemed that his maladv could not be arrested. A letter to the Times from the hospital, received yesterday morn ing gives considerable detail with reference to the operation. ' The chin and portions of the jaw bone on each side were cut away. On one side the removal of the bone was immediately in front of, and on the other side immediately back of the hindermost jaw tooth. It took three hours to do the opera tion.' The statement is that when the whiskers are -grown the observ er will be unable to notice the ef fect of the cutting. . The speech is somewhat interfered with, but is easily understood. Food of course, has to be taken" through a tube, but anything can be eaten that the tube "ill admit. The. surgeon, as a re sult of the operation, remarked that Mr. Trine was one of the greatest men he ever saw. The nurse said she had seen many op erations and many strong men un der the knife, but none so patient and none with such infinite nerve as that displayed by the well known trainer during iis trial. son of By Geer, and a nephew of ex-Governor Geer, Mike Kline and Merwin McMaines. Geer is the president, McMaines, the vicej president, and Kline, the secretary and treasurer. The objects of the club are set forth as follows in the articles of incorporation: "To promote and encourage all kinds of field and athletic sports: to promote and encourage the pleas ure, exercise, and recreation of its members; to promote and encourage reasonable and proper protection of all kinds of wild game, and con cert sporting contests. For ac quiring and maintaining game pre- TheJ serves for the use, benefit and en- has iovment of members, to secure bv lease, purchase or otherwise the right and privilege to hunt, shoot that 1 and fish on such game preserves, and to erect buildings or other structures necessary and pro per for carrying out the purposes mentioned. Also to promote the physical, , intellectual and moral welfare of its members. ! It is slated that the promoters have the assurance from the Star Brewing Company that the latter will defend the new club against any prosecutions that may result if Corvallis authorities attempt to attack the new enterprise in the courts. With the brewery people back of them, the club promoters very naturally feel strong enough to undertake the operation of the new club in Corvallis. Rev. and Mrs. Green and fam ily have moved into their new home, the. Pernot cottage on Fifth street and will be glad to welcome their friends. Elsewhere in this issue, appears the story of the will of the late Ed ward D. Sharrett, made shortly af ter he was shot in Lincoln county, and published now for the first time. It and other details of Sher ratt'sacts immediately after, the shooting are made remarkably in teresting by reason of the insist sistance by Lincoln county author ities that Sherratt was murdered by Mr. and Mrs. Green,, to whom be fore death, he conveyed throngh the will,; all his earthly belongings. The story was prepared especially for the Times, and is well - worth reading " As this week marks the Thirty-fifth year that I have been in business in Corvallis, I wish first to thank my patrons and friends for the liberal patronage they have extended me, and to announce that, as has been my custom, I am going to hold an Anniversary Sale for just one week.
