Judge-Elect Bryan Will Be Sworn in
at Caldwell, Idaho, as Judge
jj', . Tomorrow. ' - ' - -
Tndcre-filect. Ed L. Bryan left
Saturday for hs home at Payette,
Idaho. He is to take the oath of
oflkw Wednesday, and his depar
ture was hurried by that imporint
vent. .Mrs. Bryan left yesterday-
morning to join him, and was"ao
companied by htr mother, Mrs. W.
D. Barclay, who 'w"l remain for a
month. ...
Three counties are comprised in
JnHcre Rrvan's iudicial district. His
term of office is for. four yearsr rnd
saUrv -t.ooo a year. He .was
elected by a majority of 50 in a dis
tiict that Govenor Gooding , can led
i, His first raw by 2,700 majority,
and which Roosevelt swept . with a
majority of 3,000. Mr. Bryan won
after a-vigorous campaign in which
he was constantly engaged , for
several weeks. . -
It is not improbable that the cases
of Moyer, Hey wood and Pettibone
the Western . Federation -: officials
may be tried before Judge Bryan.
It is understood that nothing in
Mr. Br van's former connecilons as
an attorney stands in the way. He
was the attorney of Harry Orchard,
but that fact ' is allesed iiot to cut
any figure in the question of Moyer
Heywood and Pettibone. it is not
likely that Mr. Bryan is anxious to
reside at the trial, for it will be
cne of the most notable that ever
ook place in the Northwest, and
will be watched with intense .inter
est from all parts of the country.
Distinguished counsel will be ar
rayed on both, sides.- and; the legal
battle will be one involving every
r-ource known to jurispiadence.
If it shall turn :out .that the; former
Bentoa boy shall presidejh :;the
case, . there will be ; nowhere deeper
interest in ; the proceeding than
f.mong those whp have known him
so lone. '; . '
; Within a short time Judge Bryrn
expects to take up his residence at
Caldwell,. Idaho. - ;- . v-
SCHOOL TAX MATTERS.
Special Levies for District Nine:
Amounts to Four Mills.
Friday last at a meeting of the
school board of District No.. 9 a tax
of one and one-half mills was levied
tor the purpose of pay! ug interest
on bonds and of paying off a one
thousand-dollar bond. This levy
is in addition to that carried , a tew
days ago, namely, one and one half
mills to pay teachers, . one-half mill
tor insurance and one-half mill for
wood and incidentals, making a
total for the purposes named of four
mills. On . a property valuation in
the district of $1,000,000, the anm
of $4,000 is to be raised.
Last year the state apportion
ment to public schools was $1,70
per pupil, and it will be approxim
ately the same this year, The
county levy for school purposes has
not been made. The law. however
requires that the lev y shall be such
as to raise six dollars for evefy per
son of school age in the Dunty.
This fund is-disbursed by the
county school i Superintendent, on
apportinment being made on the firat
of April and t uother on the first of
October. The state fund is appor
tioned once a.year, on August ;the
first. ? ,

A $385 ' REWARD.
Perhaps no persons in Corval
lis are as aaxious to find - oar
friend Mr. Fisher than Mr.. Krull
and Mr. Andross who are .'repre
senting the -rEILERS-PIANOS
HOUSE and are now cleaning
out the Fisher .stock and taey
have been' authorized to give a
$385 PIANO to any one who can
apprehend and- convict said gen-.
tleman ?.;:v::'-5?-.
It has taken up td? Friday tp
straighten out the book.: accounts
and now all there ' isleft' to do is
to close but the" Instruments, . the
active piano . j'selling'Jias only
started since and up to the pres
ent time five people and . their re
spective families , have reuneo.
their homes by . taking advantage
of the exceptional prices that are. j
being made to close up tile piano
Shop. ' ' r;-.;;. - ; ." V
Mr. 0- C. Hathaway, the pop-.
uiar DiacKsmun 01 vorvaius, nas
secured a beautiful Marshall and
Wendall piano in mahogony.
Mr.f Chas. Hansen . bought , the
same style and make, Mr. W. J.
Harper selected ' au - exquisite
Shumann piano, an instrument
that will be an heirloom in his
family in years hence when we
will all be forgotten. ' MrC A. L.
Stephens who just happened in
Corvallis being a . traveling man
and representing the Columbia
Publishing . Co.. knew ..a good
thing when he saw it . and picked
out the elegant Sumann piano,
with Empire top xd has ordered
same shipped to bis home in
Carlton a few miles from d Port-'
land. Miss Myrtle T Langley, the
well known school teacher is now
the owner of a handsome organ.
- When asked why. it was that
Fisher carried such a fine stock
of goods Mr.. Krull said that that
was a quest on the house asked of
Itself but now it can plainly be
seen that Fisher never intended
to' pay for the goods, r he. simply
wanted us to ship them out and
then he would try: to .sell them,
and you know that; anyone can
more -easily place the h igh' priced
instruments, get what .cash he
possibly ; can collect and then
"23. " I know that - the . house
offered Fisher a cheaper line of
goods, foB instance they offered
him "six L-udwigs that be could
sell at $230 to $240 and make a
good profit but no, he wanted the
best that we carry. : He . would
not even carry such goods as. the
Aiehlin which he; could sell . at
$266 and leave him a clean -matt'
gin. v No sii-ree: He was foxy,
only handling the highest of
grades and a finer line of ; goods
has never been shown in Corval
lis than the ones that are now sac
lificed at the busy Music store. '
We want to have . every music
lover of Corvallis - to call on both
Mr. Krull and Mr. Andr oss who
are proud that they are with the
Biggest, ..Busiest and Best House
on the - coast and - that is. the
EILERS PIANO HOUSE.
