FOR MORAL IMPROVEMENT.
Of Its Members A New Social Club
and Its Purpose Also Some of
Its Plans.
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

and Mr. and Mrs. Dick Kiger.

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

TheJ serves for the use, benefit and en-
has iovment of members, to secure bv

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.

ily have moved into their new

the will,; all his earthly belongings.

for the Times, and is well - worth
