LOCAL LOBE. 'For advertisements in this column the rate of 15 cents per line will be charged. There will be services at the Catholic church next Sunday at the usual hours. Miss Sarah Wilhelm ot Mon roe, was tne guest or iorvams friends yesterday. Tke funeral of William Thom as who was killed by a cave-in at the mountain water reservoir Mon day was largely attended, and the bereft family were the recipients of much unfeigned sympathy. Adam Assell has resigned his position in Albany and is making a visit with friends in Corvallis.' In the course of a few days he will go to Newport and prepare to do business there the coming summer. Adam's injured ankle occasions considerable suffering. Mohair is 29 cents in the local market. A large part of the clip has been sold and delivered at that figure. A pool offered at Dallas the other day did. not sell, having been withdrawn because only 30 1-2 was bid. At Scio a pool sold last week at 29 3-8. The annual inspection of the O. A. C. cadet regiment by an offi cer of the United States army is to take place on the drill grounds next Monday. Notice has been receiv ed by the college authorities, from the War department that the in specting officer will be Major Jo seph T. Dickman, 13th cavalry. Mrs. Johnson Porter arrived yesterday morning from a six weeks tour through the southern states and Mexico. She was at New Orleans and various points of interest in the southern climes. Walter Kline is confined at home with an attack of measles. Some months ago he recovered from a severe attack of the same disease, which was his second wrestle with the malady, the first having occurred in childhood. The present attack is very light. The partiality of measles for the young man borders on the remarkable. At Harrisburg Wednesday, George J. Wilhelm a nephew of the well known Wilhelm family of Monroe, was united in marriage to Miss Cecil Rampy, Rev. Father Lane of Albany officiating. The ceremony was performed at noon. The groom is manager of the Wil helm flouring mills at Junction, and the bride is a popular young lady of Harrisburg. The big English shire stallion that has been on exhibition at Ab bott's feed barn has become a fix ture in the county.. He has purchased by a company composed of the following persons:, W. A.1 McGillis, president and treasurer; C. D. Abbott, secretary: W. C. Belknap, manager; L. F. Gray and B P. Cator. The animal is said to be the best af his breed within a radius of 40 miles. He is a dapple bay, 17 1-4 hands high and his weight is 2,150. He has been a prize winner at all shows at which he has been exhibited. Sam Dolan, the well known student and athlete, is to go East. He applied for and has received an honorable dismissal from his class es Wednesday morning, and is to leave Albany today for .Notre Dame University to complete his course in civil engineering. The loss of Dolan is a heavy blow . to OAC's football prospects next year, as he is probably the best tackle in the Northwest if not on the Coast. He was also a faithful and pains taking student and widely popular in the student body. The residence and barn which for many years occupied the lots at the corner of Fourth & Jefferson streets, are being moved to a lot in the northern part of town. The buildings are placed on rollers and hauled to their destination by a traction engine -owned by Leeder Brothers.- The residence was built in the early 50' s by Charles Oay lord.

Handsacker will speak on "Temple Building." In the evening he will give a special sermon to young men, subject. "A Young Man With a Backbone." Special music. In another column the Times prints a letter from "John Henry" on the subject of local option from the standpoint of the optionist. The columns of the Times are open for a discussion, pro or con, of this or any other subject, of public in terest or bene6t, the purpose of the paper being not to be one sided or partial, either on moral, political or other subjects. "I notice," said a prominent democrat, "that we have in Benton a very light registration for the primaries." "That h doubtless true," responded the republican ad dressed, "but I notice that demo crats are surprisingly numerous on election day." - On exhibition at H. E. Hodes' gun store is an elegant cougar skin brought in this morning by John May of the Buck Creek settlement. The animal from which the skin was taken, was killed by Mr. May a month ago with a 38-caliber re volver. It required eight .shots from the pisrol to kill the cougar. When several shots had been fired int the animal he descended from the tree in which he was discover ed. Mr. May expected to have a desperate fight with the wounded animal, but the energy with which the hunter's dog attacked the cou gar caused it to seek safety in an other tree. The skin measures eight feet in length. It is on sale, MASS MEETING. 1 onight for Benefit of the Stricken City of San Fran cisco. Portland, Ore., Apr. 1906.

The Farmer's hotel was decorated with fruit blossoms and ivy, while an apple tree in full bloom and lighted with pink candlej, was hung with Easter souvenirs. Delicious re freshments were served. Mr. Charles R. Fowler of Cen- tralia, Washington, who has been making a trip through the Willam ette Valley, was in Corvallis yester day and today.

LEAVE TOMORROW. For Indoor Track Columbia University-Athletes. Meet at -OAC n. The OAC track team leaves in the morning to- take part in the Columbia University indoor track meet tomorrow afternoon. They are accompanied by Physical' Di rector Trine, who is nor vety con fident of the success th t has at tended the efforts of hi men at the Columbia meet during he past two years. Many of his a r athletes are not yet in proper condition, notably Greenhaw, w 0 has had a severe cold which has t tarded him much in rounding intc form. It is however believed that he will on account of his know superiority in those events, with air luck in securing a position in the start, be able to take the quai er and half mile. Davolt, who h s shown un usual form is badly h ndicapped on account of a fall wh h injured his side so that he will ba veto be much bandaged in order to make the halt and mile run. . Beach, one of the sprinters is in the poorest kind of shape on account of a muscle strain sustained a day or two ago. These disadvantages together with the fact that some of the best men in the jumps and weights are not in school this year leaves the pros pect more or less clouded for OAC. Smithson is the only man who is in first rate condition. 01 Salem, Or , April 19, 1906. Mayor Ctrvallis, Corvallis: Bo vernor. Pardee of California, wires me that people are in great been j need of immediate supplies. Threat ened famine. What can be done should be don quickly. Please organize to assist in alleviating suf ferings of our neighbors. Geo. E. Chamberlain, . Governor of Oregon. The S. P. Co. will transfer all provisions and supplies for. the stricken people of San Francisco, free of charge when authorized by R. B. Miller, general freight agent, S. P. Co. The unparalled misfortune of the inhabitants of San Francisco ap peals strongly to the sympathies of the world and tneir needs appeal with equal force to the charity of the United States, and especially of the Pacific Coast. A call for . help comes from the stricked city through official channels to the people of Corvallis as shown by the foregoing telegrams. A mass meeting is called at the court house this even ing for the purpose of taking ' ac tion with reference to the matter. The meeting is called by Mayor Johnson and County' Judge Wat- ters. There ovght to be a general attendance and doubtless there will be. No incident of a similiar character has heretofore wrought so upon the sympathies of our peo ple and no person feels restraint in rendering all the assistance com mensurate with his means. The interest in election matters should for the moment be laid aside and in this meeting we should and shall entertain a common idea with refer ence to our duty to humanity, Seven-thirty is the time, and court house the place. The Southern Pacific Company transports relief supplies free, and already trains of provisions pre speeding to the wrecked city. Re lief should be prompt. Let us not for a minute withhold the means of satisfying the hunger which surely prevails by the Golden Gate. There is something almost unbearable in the idea of offering charity to the once prud city of San Francisco, but since the necessity is present, it is not likely that we shall hesitate in rendeting assistance to our peo ple while giving lavishly to. the distressed of 'other nations. The City Transfer Company will haul all donated supplies- to the de pot free of charge. Phone them. San Francisco's Crlamity Was the Shock Felt in Corvallis? 1 The catastrophe in stricken San Francisco attracted deep interest in Corvallis. News of the earthquake and that buildings had been thrown down and a thousand people killed was on the street by 10 o'clock in the morning and to this fresh re ports were constantly added. In terest grew as the ' day waned and the telephone, telegraph and news paper offices were besieged for in formation. Everybody waited im patiently for the evening papers by the eight o'clock C. & E- A big crowd of people was at the depot and the news carriers did a land office business. People jumped in to the cars in the effort to be first in getting a paper with accounts of the cataclysm, and some of them sub scribed for a month in order to get a single copy. The same eagerness was manifested at the post.oflice and within a short time after the arrival of the mails groups were gathered in barber shops or under electric lights on the streets, listening to the reading by one of their num ber of the story of the calamity. Not a few had friends or relatives in the stricken city, and great anxiety was felt for the safety of these. The Misses Louise and Jul iet Cooper were concerned as to the fate of their father who was believ ed to be in San Francisco, a guest ?t the Grand hotel which was des troyed, not by the earthqnake, but by the fire that trailed in its wake. J. H. Harris had a brother and oth er relatives from whom nothing has been heard, save that their place of residence and business was destroy ed. A sister ot Lee Heukle was 1 a resident or tnat part of the city swept by the conflagration, and up to last accounts, nothing had been heard concerning her safety. Prof. McDougal at the college was much concerned about the safety of mem bers of hi9 family, who reside at Belmont, about 20 miles from the stricken city. Robert Johnson, one of the correspondents of the Associ ated Press was in San Francisco, and alarm for his safety was felt by his sister, Mrs. J. H. Harris and other relatives. All of the above are believed to be safe, though nothing definite has been learned of them. Among the buildings des troyed was the Winchester hotel,. 1 One woman leaped from the second story window and escaped un hurt. She believes she and her child are the only ones that escaped from the building. A brother of S. B. Bane lived at the place, and in the absence of news, Mr. Bane is extremely anxious as to the fate of his kinsman. Shocks of the earthquake were felt at Roseberg, Grants Pass, Ash land, Vancouver and at other points. Several people in Corvallis were awakened suddenly about the time the city by the Golden Gate was being rocked and shattered, and some surmise that their awak ening was the result of the earth's tremor.
