ily growing. At its meeting Monday
night four uew members were elected,
making a total of sixteen accessions
since the first of the year. With a view
to popularizing the organization, as well

Harry, the youngest sou of Hon. G. A.

in some mysterious way overturned the
vessel containing the boiling grease, re
sulting in the child being badly scalded.
Although burned in several different por
tions of his body, his face luckily escaped
being touched by the boiling fat One of
his legs, however, was burned so badly
that, iu removing the stocking, the sEin
was taken off of a surface as large as an
ordinary man's hand. -

America .was given the privelegs of select
ing these officers from among its mem
bers, and. in compliance with a custom
in vogue for a long time, the courtesy
belongs this year to the H. & L. boys.
Recently three Knights of Pythias
lodges in Portland consolidated with a
total membership of three hundred, and
selected Clarence Avery as chancellor
commaudcr. The lodge is one of the
largest on the coast and includes in its
ranks many of Portland's most promi
nent and influential citizens. Speaking
of Mr. Avery, the "Oregon Senator," a
Portland publication devoted to Pythian
ism, has the following: "He was one of
the five candidates for chanceller com
mander of Americus No. 1, and has been
frequently spoken of by knights of this
city and from abroad, as the best chan
cellor commander on the Pacific slope."
Burglars in Corvallis seemed possessed
of a sort of mania for guns, revolvers,
etc. Since Hodes' gun store was en
tered last fall and relieved of several
shooting irons and a quantity of amuni
tion, the Corvallis burglar has been tak
ing a vacation or else has been operating
in other fields. Saturday sight, how
ever, lie returned and the next morning
three new revolvers were missing from
the store of Dunn & Campbell. An en
trance to the building had been effected
by breaking one of the large front win
dows. Mr. Campbell, who sleeps in the
rear of the store, heard the noise, but
did not get up and did not discover the
loss until the next morning.
The bicycle trade this year promises to
be quite brisk. Just what "make'' will
be the favorite this season is perhaps an
an uncertain quantity, but that the "Col
umbia" will retain its reputation among
wheelmen, is evinced by the fact that the
enterprising firm of Simpson, Huston &
Co. has received this week, direct from '1
the factory, a number of these splendid
machines and already have several pros
pective buyers on the string. S. H. & Co.
are also agents for the Hartford, a wheel
made very much after the plan of the
Columbia, but considerably cheaper in
price. Mr. Huston, who superintends
the wheel department, during the past
week, has talked bicycle until some of
his friends think he has a complete fac
tory in operation in his head. - It might
not be believed, but realiy .he is becom
ing as much of a bicycle crank as Frank
Conover.
T. M. Hamilton, the newly elected
commander of Ellsworth Post, G. A. R.,
is anxious to increase tha post's member
ship, and to that end requests that all old
soldiers, living in the county or adjacent
to Corvallis in Linn county, send in their
names to the post's adjutant, Wm. Lane.
There are a number of old soldiers, who
served through the civil war, living in
this vicinity, whose names have never
been placed upon the G. A. R. roster. If
such can not be induced to join the post,
it is desirous that their names, together
with their company and regiment, be
known to members of the organization
so that in case of sickness or other afflic
tion, they could be given the proper at
tention. Mr. Hamilton also has in mind
the holding of an old soldier's reunion
sometime during the next few months,
and on this account he is especially desir
ous that all the old comrades place them
selves in correspondence with the post's
adjutant . '
Remember Nolan & Callahan's great
reduction sale will close Saturday, Feb

The Times evidently imagines it has a
sole proprietorship in news 'items.: It
finds that the two papers actually discuss
the same matters, and comes to the . ra
ther irrevalent conclusion' that the Ga
zette copies from the Times. The issue
of the Times in which this charge ap
peared, contained little of importance,
but that published in the Gazette two
days previous, yet this paper makes no
complaint on that account If the Times
depends upon the 'Gazette for its infor
mation, it displays good judgment that it
does not elsewis exercise. The Times
claim to an exclusive right to the field of
actual news, must be gently but firmly
disputed. It may continue, however, to
monopolize the invented article. When
Slraga's ghost walks through the town,
the moon darkened by thunder clouds,
the wind howling and shrieking with the
voices of the damned, when the startled
murderer sweats big drops of blood,
when that marvelous woman, who is keep
ing a secret, screams and collapses in
terror, and the other accessories confess
their guilty knowledge, the Times may
have the exclusive glory of the revelation.
Neither will the Gazette interfere with
the Times' hobby of mysterious hints at
promised scandals that never develop.
Great interest is just now being taken
iu Portland by members of tha K. of P.
lodges, in the production of the play
"Damon and Pythias," to be given at the
Marquam Grand, Friday and Saturday
evenings of this week. The drama is to
be put on under the direction of Win.
Rasmus, who has presented the play un
der the auspices of several of the subor
dinate lodges of the state during the
past few months. Considerable local in
terest is taken inJthe matter from the
fact that the cast will include several for
mer Corvallisites, now residing in Port
land. The difficult part of Pythias is to
be taken by Clarence W. Avery, son of
P. Avery, of this city, and he is said to
display splendid adaptation to the role
assigned him. Lawyer S. T. Jeffreys,
who distinguished himself as Philistius,
president of the senate, when tha play
was produced here dnring the spring of
1894, under the direction of J. B. Wal
ker, is to play the same part in Portland.
The part of Lucullus is also to be played
by a Corvallis boy Will S. Stock. The
uniform rank, for whose benefit the play
is being produced, is under the command
of Capt A. J. Coffee, and the proceeds of
the two nights' entertainment will be
used for the purpose of taking this divis
ion east next August, to compete for the
prizes offered by the supreme lodge meet
ing to be held in Minneapolis.
A few weeks ago, reference was made
to a curious magnet which two of the
students in the mechanical department
of the Agricultural College at Corvallis
had sent to the Independent. The bar
sent to Prof W. N. Ferrin of the chair of
physics in Pacific university, who writes
the result of his study in this paragraph:
"I have this morning been examining the
bar magnet which you kindly sent up to
us, and find it an interesting example of
what might be called abnormal magne
tism. The magnetic curves produced by
iron filings show clearly the existence of
three poles in the bar, viz: a strongly
ileveloped south pole at one end, and a
feebly developed south pole at the other
end, and a strong north pole between
them, somewhat nearer the weaker ter
minal pole. 'Secondary poles' are not
uncommon, and are supposed to be due
to inequally of temper iu the steel, or to
some unusual method employed in mag
netizing the bar. Bat I think it is unu
sual to find one of them at one end of
the magnet, as in this case. It would be
interesting to know what method of mag
netization was used, also, whether the
whole bar was tempered alike." It is
proper to say that every part of the bar
was tempered alike, or as nearly so as
possible, by raising the bar to a uniform
temperature and plunging it in a cold
bath. This is shown by testing with a
file. It is a peculiar method employed
in magnetizing. It is sot accident, either,
for he makes his peculiar magnets every
time. But whether he makes at will a
north pole at an extremity or a south pole,
was not stated. Hillsboro Independent.
