Corvallis Times ITS INSTRUMENTATION. AN ESSAY. IS DISPLAYED NOW. Official Paper of Benton County. CORVALLIS, OREGON, TP. I DAY EVENING FEB.. 23, 1906. IF THEY WANT IT, Undoubtedly, the purpose of those who framed the primary el ection law was to have the June election settle the question of what tnan was to be seuator. The func tion of the primary election is to determine what one of all the re publican candidates shall be the re publican nominee for senator, and what one of the democratic candi dates is to be the democratic nom inee. If then, the June election is not to finally and effectively settle the question of which of the nom inees is to be the senator, why are they voted for at all in the regular state election. If that vote is not for the purpose of eliminating all but one of them from the field, what is it for. The only possible conclusion is that this June vote was designed for the rejection of all but one of the nominees, and the selection of that one as the people's choice for senator, this choice to be subsequently legalized and ratified by the legislature. Acquiescence in this plan would give to the people of the state,, practical election of senator by di rect vote. It is in their hands to say whether or not they want to select a senator themselves, or leave it to a legislative mob and all the disgrace and scandal that method entails. The primary law places the senatorship completely in their hands, if they see fit to reach out and seize the power it offers them. tone lives m Ufno, her name is Mrs. Joy, and she is the mother of six pairs of twins.

The groom is a native of Benton county and is a young man of excellent character. Frauk Smith, brother of the groom, acted as best man, and Miss Clara Ridenour was bridesmaid. The wedding march was rendered by Miss Violet Hathaway. The bride was very attractively gowned in wlite silk and carried white primroses and fern. The brides maid was becomingly attired in blue silk batiste. The ceremony was performed under an arch of ivy in which hung a large star. After the ceremony, refreshments were served and a very pleasant social hour concluded the event.

The fruit tree has its San Jose scale, the apple its ' Codlin Moth, and the owner of an umbrella, his light fingered friend. A gentleman in the community loitered for 4. brief period at the college the other day and when he came back down town, he had to buy Hvo new um brellas. A well known young lady met with a similar experience on a similar occasion, save that she only had one umbrella to buy. It was William Shakespeare who said: "He who steals my purse steals trash, but he who steals my umbrella is a knock kneed, low-down skunk," or words to that effect. Of course it rains but little in Oregon, and an um brella is seldom" needed, but when a gentleman or a lady wants an um brella, he or she wants it bad. One has but little use for an umbrella in Corvallis except to keep the sun off and save the complexion, but that is not the business of the um brella thief. His theft is an un bearable proceeding, and is not a joke, but a tragedy. A certain man in town has offer ed $20 reward for the apprehension of any person who steals his um brella, but it is a well known fact that he never had an umbrella and has none now. Several well known gentlemen about this town always sport fine umbrellas but never were known to buy one, and that is what angers the parties who lost their parasols at the college. It might be added that one of the umbrellas stolen there was shanghaied from a gentleman who had borrowed it, and that is where the shoe pinches. Some persons are childlike enough to always be believing that they left their latest umbrella some place when in fact that was net the way they lost it a tall a light fingered friend got it. The Times inserts advertisements for "lost" umbrellas at - 25 cents an issue or three for a half, and lias been successful in restoring them, at times. NEW YORK EMPIRE CO. On next Monday night, Febru ary 26, the New York Empire The atre Company commences a three nights engagement at the Opera House. On Monday will be pre sented the beautiful pastoral drama, "Dora" founded on Tennyson's poem. On Tuesday night, Ouida's masterpiece, "The Wronged Wife" which is a dramatization of her famous novel, "Moths," and on Wednesday night, "The Parisian Princess." The Empire Theatre Company is serving a very useful purpose in presenting to the public a set of plays selected for the superior con struction and dialogue that can not but consciously or unconsciously foster a taste for strong, sensible dramatic literature, to which the intelligent people of this city will, we feel sure, give unbounded sup port. The prices are 15, 25 & 35 cents. Reserved seats at the usual place. Vegetagelatine is the product of an eminent physician's research covering a period of five years. The need of it was called to his at tention at the time one of his pa tients was slowly but surely dying from acute gastritus, she could not keep any food on her stomach un til he prescribed, a blanc mange made according to the directions given in each package. He was very much gratified and pleased to note the rapid and sure recovery of one whom he thought sure would die in spite of medical science. The above goes to show the high food value of this new sea food handled by A. Hodes. Notice.

When the stranger comes to Cor vallis now, it will be of interest for him .to step around to the court house and see the county exhibit. There, the resources of the county are very well illustrated. At a glanc; C tt be seen in a general way those things that Benton soil, for ests, streams, and mountains best product. Sheaves of grain, long er thati a man, grasses as fine as can be grown, samples of wood, fruit, wool, mohair, vegetables, game birds and other things of in terest, all these are in generous profusion about the room, neatly displayed, and interesting even to the old resident of the county. Those who haven' t seen the dis play should take the trouble to have a view of it. It is certain that there will be revelations even to the old timer. The exhibit 13 permanently housed in what was formerly the private office of the county clerk. The walls are hung to a height of several feet with black velvet. W.th this as a back ground, the samples of sheaf grain are cisplayed, and the effect is very fine. They rest on panels of hardwood that formed the counters in the county exhibit at the late Lewis and Clark Fair. A handsome glass case contains samples of wool and mohair, scour ed and unscoured. and is a sightly display. Another glass case is filled with hottied fruit and bottl-d vege tables, dried fruits and kindred specimens. Shelves display glass jars filled with shelled grains of all kinds, vegetables, including buck wheat, corn and other cereals. In the wood samples are two or three pieces of curly maple of beautiful grain. One of these is in the sam ples provided for the Fair exhibit by Squire Rycraft and Qaptain Ma lone "of Alsea Valley, and on which appear the names of the present of ficials of Benton. A section of an oak tree, a foot in diameter, shows the horns of a deer embedded in its fibre to a depth of five or Six inches the growth of the tree having slow ly enveloped the horns. It is a freak of nature that came iroai the McBee 'hiee, and attracted much .attention at the Fair. The Benton county school exhib it is displayed, showing pictures of domestic animals, maps and other interesting drawings. It ought to be n?.ore extensive. Game birds occupy a prominent place on the rxiou'dirjg above the sheaf grains. There are photos of scenes ' in the county and Corvallis, including the Corvallis churches and college build ings. here are many, very many things for a stranger or a visitor to see. The exhibit will be kept re plenished. It will be ready for use at any time for exhibitions at State Fairs or otherjindustrial shows. The Empire Theatre Company will be remembered as appearing here last November, when they made a most favorable impression.
