Annual statement.
From the annual statement made to the
City Council at its last meeting, by Mayor
Jacobswe glean the following facts:
There have been collected from all sourc
s $5,940.64 during the past year, and there
has been drawn on the treasurer S6,39G.16,
making a deficit of $455.52. This, together
-rifch tho indebtedness of last year, makes
the total indebtedness of the city $3421.67
The expense of maintaining order, such as
malting arrests, fees of officers, etc., has
been a large drain on the funds. However
hv the buildin" of B. K. in
our midst and the natural disorders follow
ins all such improvements. Great credit is
marshal and the extra officers who
bean armointed. for the manner in
which they have maintained order. &
oalls special attention of the council to the
sidewalks of our city, and now that the ot
fice of marshal is salaried, he should devote
a ereat portion of his time seeing that they
are kept in proper conditon. Our alleys
should be thoroughly cleaned, as the health
f our city depends greatly on this. The
volunteer fire department skould have the
mnut liberal consideration and cisterns
should be kept in good repair. He recom
mends the establishment of uniform system
f rlrainaca. also that sidewalks n our
i.iiiiol streets should be eiaht feet wide.

occasion was his 21st birthday, and those's
who had known Leo for years in his boy
hood, wished to congratulate him on having
arrived at that age at which the laws of our
country permit him to be a man and manage
his own affairs. The evening was enjoyably
spent in dancing, singing and card playing,

wishing Leo long life and prosperity.

For the past two weeks in has been driz

though it did considerable good yet the
moisture fell in such small quantities that
it has been more of an aggravation to the
thirsty soil than anything else. While oth
er parts of the valley have been blesssed
with capious showers, our farmers have con
stantly complained of its being too dry to
plow. On last Monday evening, however
it began raining and a steady shower was
kept up nearly all night and en Tuesday

Saturday, May 30th is Decoration Day,
the observance of which has bf en a Nation

graves of comrades, whose lives have been
freely given up in the defense of country
and flag, with bright flowers and to honor
their memory by appropriate ceremouies
and remembrances of their heroism and sac

Sled From Drinking.
A very sad death occured in our city last
Saturday from drinking, in which our citi
zens showed very little humanitarianism.
An old gentleman by the name of William
H. Allen, who has seen the frosts of over
sixty winters, ha3 lived in our city for some
time past, his avocation being that of a
boot-black. He was addicted to drink and
the few short "bits" he would earn with his
brush soon found their way to ' the saloon-keeper's
till. He had no relatives in
the city and his friends werenearly as scarce
as his kinsfolk. On last Saturday morning
he drank too much, and was carried to tho
engine house in a terrible condition. In the
evening he was taken with spasms ami about
9 o'clock the old veteran passed over the
bridge that spans time and eternity. He
was hurried on Sunday, by less than a half
dozen who volunteered a few moments to
pay the "last, sad rites." No tears were

blessings their sacrifice brought for those
that survive them will present themselves
in vivid recollections of camp life and march
strife and carnage, weary days iu hospital
and prison, in these days past when these
dead comrades stood beside them shoulder
to shoulder in the great strife that should
decide the destiny of a great nation. The
toils and duties of a soldiers life are over.
Its memories only remain,' and to preserve
these memories green and to honor the dead
and to keep green the recollections of their
great ser vice to their country, these ceremo
nies are held each successive year. But cus
tom through ready sympathy born for the
soldier in the days gone by the whole peo
pie has made this day not only one to be
observed by soldiers, but by all. The citi
Zers are cordially invited to suspend their
usual avocations and unite with surviving
soldiers in harmony, not only the dead who
were onco comrades of the one in armies,
but also the dead of the others who have

We urge upon all to join in the pilgrim
age to the city of the dead, bearing bright
flowers and garlands called from nature s
profusion of the beautiful, and live over
again m recollection at least tne nappy
hours of the past spent with loved ones who
slumber peacefully there, and to sirew their
last resting place with spring's brightest
blossoms.
Let terder hands strew the flowers that
shall tell the story of our love and remem-
berance for those whose lives once gladdened
our hearts but are now no more with us.
except as memory brings them back from
the past. Thus we may teach our sons and
daughters the noble lesson that love can and
does exist beyond the grave.
Ellsworth Post G. A, R, of Corvallis,
will observe this day with the usual and
appropriate ceremonies of their order, and
we trust the invitation extended by the old
soldiers to all our citizens, to join with
them in the observance of the day will be
accepted generally and jhat all the graves
in cuir cemeteries will be visited and there
tributes of affection and rememberance
placed thereon, the3e shall mark it the rest
ing place of some one endeared to tender
hearts and fond recollection.
Nothing marks the true refinement of a
community as much as watchful care for the
last resting place of their dead, and nothing
cultivates and strengthens the purest and
lof test emotions of the heart like the soft
ened momories of those who have been laid
away from our sight with aching hearts and
tender hands.
We should aim to m ike the place where
our dead rest the spot where summer's last
rose lives longest ind where spring's bright
est and earliest blossoms should unfold, and
so we may if we chose.
Our business men have decided to close
their places of business for two hours on that
day, which will be seen by the following
AGREEy3NT.
We the business men and women of Cor
vallis hereby agree with each other that we
will close our respective places of business
from 11 o'clock, A. M. to 1 o'clock P. M. on

this work as it ought to be, and feeling very
sure that the many strong, active, energetic
young ladies.of our city, not directly con
nected with the temperance work, would,
if once interested in the work, carry it on
in a very able manner, and that they were
not mistaken is proven beyond question by
the good work that has been done. Arri?-
ing at tnis conclusion, tne union uuc.
asked all the ladies of the city to meet them
at the Evangelical church to organize. Three
good and brave hearted young ladies res
ponded to the call. Not feeling satisfied to
organize with so few, a committee was ap
pointed to make anether call and to see if
the fireman's hall could be had for our meet
ing. At the next meeting, on May 28th,
just nine ladies caie, five who were mem
bers of the W. 0. T. V., four who were not.
We organized and the good work began.
At the "big tire," wnen all Corvallis
seemed for a while, doomed, not only did
the members of the club come out on duty,
but ladies of both the W. C. T. U. and the
1. O. G. T. all gave a helping hand. I dis
tinctly remember seeing one lady of the
Union, just leaving for home at ten minutes
of two iu the morning, haviug worked faith
fully from the starting of the fire until that
hour.
At the last regular meeting of the club,
two of the firemen canie and with an appro
priate speech presented the clab with the
handsome gift of twenty dollar. Our Presi
dent appointed a committee of three to
draw up sitablc resolutions of thanks to the
firemen awl to see that the same be insert
ed in our local papers; this committee was
composed of one lady of the I. O. G. V., one
from the Y. . C. T. U. and one a member
of both W. C. T. U. and I. O. G. T. So
you see my good fireman that there are a
few temperance workers that care for your
welfare, and I can assure you that there are
i members of the W. C. T. U. wh are phys
ically unable to minister to your comfort at
the tires, who never the less have just as
earnest a desire to see yon cared for, as do
those who are better able to do the active
hard work. I think the trouble of the
"Kireman" who wrote the "Query," is, that
he has no eyes for but one or two fair faces
and they so entirely satisfy him and take
up his whole attention that he quite over
looks the more iusignificent unattractive
ones. L. H. A.
