Safe Robbed at Philomath.
On. Tuesday night the store of

entered by burglars who
forced the tills and drilled and
blew open the safe, without,
however, securing any part of the
large amount of money known
to have been deposited there, as
Mr. Ingle "had removed some to
his home. The job was ifeatly
done and the fine large safe is
completely ruined. No clue was
left by these daring cracksmen,
other than a couple of chisels j
left in the woodshed, from where
they were evidently frightened, i
as a box containing notes, etc., I

Cure, you would certainly be astonished.
I was a most wretched sufferer for three
years, trying all kinds of medicine and
getting no relief.' The flow of nrine was
very excessive. I was very constipated
and also covered with carbuncles, and
felt at war with myself and the world at

medicine, I felt as though 1 was a new

has been effected in my case. '

THE FOURTH OF JULY,
Celebrations
in Various
Parts
of the Valley,
IN CORVALLIS.
Corvallis did not celebrate this,
year in her usual manner. In
fact no arrangements had been
made by the citizens to celebrate
the day at all; however, appropri
ate exercises under the auspices of
the W. C. T. U. were had at the
court housj square.; 'The parade
formed at 10 a. m. and was headed
by the 'iwrya' Brigade, a tem
perance organization of boys who
hare been under training for the
occasion by Captain J. L. Under
wood for 60ine time. They were
inarched to the court house where
the program began at 1 1 o'clock,
and included song, "Onward,
Christian boidier; ' prayer by Kev
Burlingame; scripture lesson, Rev.
Piummei: recitation by Frankie
Cauthorn; sonix, Congregational
Junior Endeavor;' recitation by
Blanche Kantner; recitation by
Annie Gavin; song, '.America;"
vcciiation, miss Liucy vaugnn and
brief addresses by Kev. Gould
Prof. Sneak and Rev. Plummer.
Several hundred persons enjoved
a basket dinner and spent the
afternoon under the shade of the
maple trees about the tquare
During the 'afternoon two wagon
loads of plug uglies arrived on the
scene and created lots of fun for
all.
AT SULPHUR SPRINGS.
Quite a number of our residents
spent the 4th at Sulphur Sprin
on the Soap Creek, where a fair
program was arranged and well
carried out; but a majority of the
pleasure see'kers were content to
stroll around the shady cool woods
and seek health and comfort in
drinking the medicinal waters.
The usual dance followed the
early basket supper and was quite
well attended. This cool retreat
has become quite a family resort,
many persons camping iu the
vicinity of the springs wh.Ie others
drift over to spend Sunday there.
Music' was furnished by an orches
tra; -Miss Maud Brtn?man read
the Declaration of Independence
and Hon. S. T. Jeffreys delivered
the oration of which those who
heard it speak in very complimen
tary terms. Mr. Jeffreys was
hardly himself that day owing to
the fact that he had played in
Damon and Pythias in Eugene the
evening before and after the per
formance had driven to Corvallis,
arriving at. 7 o'clock the next
morning, and thirty minutes later
left for Sulphur. Here is an ex
ample of patriotism that is worthy
of emulation.
AT LEBANON.
.This city held a big celebration
on the 4th and it was a crush all
day, the several contests adver
tised tending to draw a crowd of
lovers of speed and sport.
Judge Burnett, of this city, de
livered the address and was com
plimented by a vote of thanks by
the large audience present.
. The principal event of the day
was the hose team race, which was
given, first prize to Lebanon and
second to Corvallis team.
In the bicycle race, Mr. Bruce
Burnett, of this city, captured the
first prize; Mr. C, A. Davis, also of
this city, second.1 Mr. Brady Bur
nett sustained a fall on the .mis
erably rough course. There were
eight starters.
Corvallis won the foot race,
hands down, Mr. Will Bay prov
ing too much, by about half, for
their local sprinters.
The ladies' race and the horse
races were also interesting. Taken
all in all it was a red letter day for
Lebanon.
- It is estimated that there were
15,000 people in attendance at
this celebration.
AT EUGENE.
"God bless the man who first invented sleep!
So Sancbo Panza said, and bo say I;
And bless him, also, that he didn't keep .
His great discovery to himself, nor try
To make it as the lucky fellow might
A close monopoly by patent right.
Yes; bless the man who first invented sleep,
(I really cant't avoid the lite rat ion);
Bat blast the mail with curaes load and deep,
What'er the rascal's name, or age, or station,
Who first invented and went around advis-
intr, '
That artificial cat-off, Early RWngl"
This quotation is now a favorite
with the Marine band and mem
bers of the Damon and Pythias
company who celebrated the 4th
in Eugene and because of the
strike were compelled to make the
trip with private conveyances.
To avoid experiencing the heat of
the midday sun it became neces-
sary to. make a very early itart
from Corvallis, and between the
hours of 2:30 and 5 a. m. Tuesday
morning several carriage loads of
Corvallisites had taken their de
parture for Eugener- Members of
the Damon aiid Pythias combina
tion were intending all along to
make the trip by rail, but at a late
hour Monday evening it was
learned that the strikers had taken
possession of the company's j'art's
and - that - no trains would leave
Portland, southbound, the follow
ing' morning." .At this late hour all
the livery teams had been engaged
atna it' was -wi til great ' difcul ty
that two conveyances were at last
secured. One of them waB a
spring wagon with three seats and
both rigs were uncovered.' The
weather was very warm during
tiie mon-ing and the roads dusty,
which had the effect of greatly
increasing the tediousness of the
forty-mile drive. On arriving at
Eugene the players presented a
most woeful appearance, and J heir
arrival no doubt called to mind
many recollections of '-barn
stormers" in the early days.
That evening the play was pro
duced before a large and appre
ciative audience, and in its pre
sentation the players in several
scenes eclipsed all former efforts.
The open air co-cert given Tues
day evening and the music fur
nished the uext day by the Ma
rine band cf this city, was really
the feature of the exercises. The
were received at Eugene by Clay
Humphrey and daring their stay
were accorded every courtesy pos
sible, even to a feast of mountain
trout provided by Mr. Humphrey.
All visitors from this city were
treated royally by the people of
Eugene and their efforts were
thoroughly appreciated.
Frels vs. Hinrichs.
Two more men are in trouble
and an appeal is being made to
the circuit court for protection.
This time the plaintiff is Wm.
Frels and the defendant is Henry
Hinrich. Both are residents of
Blodgett precinct, The cause of
the trouble grows out of an al
leged attempt of Hinrich to float
60,006 feet of logs down a small
stream that floats through the
plaintiff's farm. The stream is
known as ' Mulkey creek and
empties into Shot Pouch. The
complaint goes on to state that
in the wiflter heavy rams cause
the water in the creek to rise un
til it overflows and in some places
becomes fifteen or twenty inches
deep. In the fall and winter of
1893 the defendant wrongfully
deposited about 60,000 feet of
logs in the creek about three
fourths of a mile above plaintiff's
land and attempted to float the
same down the creek' and that in
order to do so, he employed seven
men with cant-hooks to go upon
the sand along the banks, there
by causing great and irreparable
damage and injury to plaintiff's
land. The plaintiff's fences were
torn down to his damage in the
sum of $25. That plaintiff has
a bridge over the stream which
was partly destroyed to his dam
age of $. That bv reason of
breaking the jams and the de
posits of quantities of sand and
gravel ' he had sustained a dam
age ot 100. rne complaint
further alleges that the defendant
is preparing to float more logs
down the said stream the coming
winter and for this an injunction
is asked to restrain him from so
doing. It is also alleged that
more than forty separate tres
passes have been committed and
that the defendant threatens to
continue such trespasses.
To the complaint defendant
has entered a general demurrer,
"for the - reason that said com
plaint does not state facts suffi
cient to constitute a cause of
suit" - ,

the room long festoons of ever
greens hung in graceful curves
to the corners of the room while
from the chandelier two ribbons,
red and old gold, were carried to
the four corners of the table, in

Thirty Years in Office.
Last Thursday when County
Clerk B. W. Wilson turned ove
his desk to his successor in office,
Ira M. Hunter, a bit of Benton
county history was recalled tai
the memory of those who have?
been residents of Benton count)''"
for the past thirty rears; for just;
thirty years ago Mr. Wilson was
elected to the office of county
clerk. Previous to his. adminis
tration Benton county had but
five clerks. The first was Wil
liam Knots. Then followed A-
;mled continuously ever since.
j There is not another officer in
.Oregon whose term of office has
July, 1924, where
he lived un
til 4 years of age. His family
then moved to New Brunswick,
N. J. When about ten years old.
'lie moved to New York where
he served as office boy for a corn-
pany of which Cornelius Vander-
bilt was then president. After
living- in New York for about
ten years he went to Illinois and
later went to "sea. Eight years
of his life was spent ou the sea.
and until October, 1850, when,
he came to Oregon.
In politics Mr. Wilson has;
been "a republican from the
turn loose." But his popularity
has gained for him many - votes
from the democratic ranks. As
an official he has been exceeding
ly kind and obliging and many
who have depended. on Bush ta
transact their business and ex
amine records for them will
sadly miss him from the court
house. His long service has
given him a general knowledge;
of all the laud in the county
that no one could acquire with
less than thirty years association
with the records. He has been
careful and painstaking . and it
may be said without fear of con
tradiction that in no office of the
state have the records and filesof
the county been better and more
systematically kept than in Ben
ton county. He has always been
particular to do everything legal
ly and just as it should be. The
result is that the systems in
augurated in the routine of the
office work have been carried,
down reerularly from the becin-
uhtil on the darkest of
nights and without a light either.
Mr. Wilson or his deputies could.
lay their hands on any paper
filed in the office. '
For more than a year past Mr.
Wilson's health has been very
poor and by the advice of his
physician has spent but little of
his time in the office. He is
spending the summer on his
ranch near Yaquina City where
he hopes to regain his
strength.
A New Order.
The Loyal Mystic Legion of
America, is the name of an or
der founded some years ago in
Hastings, Nebraska, a branch of
which was organized in this city
last week with thirty charter
members. All business men of
good habits and moral character
are eligible to membership. The
promotioji of friendship . and
benevoleijce and the payment of
benefits to its members in case of
accident ar among the purposes
of the order. Its ritualistic work
is especially fine and will com
pare favorajy y in that respect with
the best 01 societies. Messrs. D.
Madtgan aii Richard -W. Carey,

ganized the society in Corvallis
are now in Grants Pass, where
another council will be formed.
