-There will be but one Corvallis
name voted for in the Oregonian
circulation contest. that of Miss
Agnes Wilson. It was accidental
that two names appeared in the be
ginning. Miss Spangler was out of
town. A. number of .leading citi
zens, unaware that votes had been
cast for Miss Wilson, determined to
propose Miss Spangler's name1
The plan was to make of the con
test a sort of testimonial to Miss
Spangler. She has for years been
most generous with her voice when
music was required for public
functions or other occasions where
it was the community that was
served. '. Without asking Miss
Spangler's consent, a number of
citizens submitted her name. Lat
er they learned that Miss Wilson's
name had already been proposed
and voted for. On Miss Spangler" s
arrival home she proposed at once,
in the interest of having but a sin
gle candidate, that her name be
withdrawn, and that has been done.

. "Yes," said the father who
hadjustlearnedthatitwastwins; "I
alius knew that that there bird was
a plumb nuisance, but now it's got
to be exterminated." Then, hav
in" cleaned his gun and loaded it
with six drachms and slugs, lie

Shall Corvallis have a horse
show ? A proposition of that kind

League meeting tonight. A three
days' affair with horses from all a
round, and judges and visitors
from abroad, and with all the far
mers of the county'in attendance,
all to take place about May 15th, is
what is contemplated. A man fa
miliar with such fetes is to be at to
night's meeting to explain how the
one in Corvallis can be successfully
pulled off.

materials for spraying the big
prune orchard." Another load goes
down tomorrow and it is expected
that by Thursday spraying will be
gin in earnest. The orchard auth
orities expect to wage a bitter war,'
on diseases and pests this season.
There has been great tribulation
over at the clerk's office for a day
or two. The footing of the totals
for the tax balance sheet has been
in progress, and the figures wont
balance. Both Clerk Moses and
Deputy Johnson took turns at the
task without success and then the
adding- machine was introduced.
It failed to do any better than its
predecessors, and now there is sur
mise that Johnnie Wells has had
the thing out in the jai! where the
wet goods are stored. If a balance
isn't struck soon, the clerk's of
fice may resolve itself into a first
class bughouse. ,

At a meeting Monday night,
the firemen discussed certain phas
es of the peril from fires in Corval
lis. The Opera House, the public
school and the hotels were involved
in the topic. It was agreed that
the fire escapes at the hotels are
wholly inadequate, if not useless,
and ought to be remedied, and that
better means of escape ought to be
provided at the Opera House. It
was also unanimously agreed 'that
there ought to be a fire drill at
least once a month at the public
schools. A committee was desig
nated to embody the verdict of the
organization in a suitable resolution
which wiil be presented to the peo
ple involyed and to the city coun
cil.
Three young men were received
into the Presbyterian church Sun
day morning as a result of the
meetings of Rev. Bell the past few
days. The attendance at the serv
ices taxes the sealing capacity of
the church, several being turned
away Sunday night for lack of
room. The meetings are to contin
ue until after Thursday. On ac
count of the unusual interest an ef
fort has been made to have Rev.
Bell remain longer, but at last ac
counts he was unable to get 'further
leave ot absence from his own con'
gregation at Baker City.
