LOCAL MVVS.
Paul Schmidt and wiff, of Albany
celebrated in Corvallis.
Ed Crawford came up from Salem
and spent the Fourth among his
many friends in thin city.
Wm. Headrick, of Alsea, spent
the Fourth in Corvallis and enjoy
ed himself hugely, he says. Mr.
Headrick returned home yesterday.
A. J. Shipley, of Smithfield. Polk
trountv, arrived Tuesday for a fw
days' visit with relatives and
friends. Mr. Shipley formerly re
sided in Benton.
A short note from Father Jurek,
dated Rome, Italy, June 18th, re
ceived yesterday, states that he is
well, and contains regards to all
friends in CorvaUis.
The logging company of C. K
Spaulding, operating on the Luckia
mute river, now have about 8,000,-
000 feet of logs in the watrr. They
are consigned to pulp mills at Ore
gon City.
Miss Bertha Thrasher, the un
fortunate victim of bunday s run
away, is getting along as well as
could be expected. The cool
weather of tho few days following
the accident was very beneficial for
her, as hot weather in the case of
broken bones is often the cause of
much suffering, as well as evil con
sequences.
At the United Evangelical par
Bonasre last Tuesday evening the
marriage of Homer Lilly and
Rachel Henderson occurred. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. L.
M. Boozer. Both of the young peo
ple are of Benton county; they are
highly respected and each has a
host of friends to wish them all the
joys of life. They will make their
future home on the farm near Wren.
Cal Thrasher was in Chemawa,
Marion county, when the accident
befell his daughter, Miss Bertha,
last Sunday, and did not learn of it
until Monday morning, when he
was located by telephone. He im
mediately came home, but owing to
affairs of a business nature he was
compelled to go back to Marion
again this morning, where he will
likely have to remain for a couple
of weeks.
An accident befell Elmer Clark,
Wednesday, which, it was feared at
first, might prove serious. He was
a member of the Hook & Ladder
team which entered the hub-and-hub
hose nce. When near the
finish of the race he stepped on a
rock and was thrown. He was
nearly exhausted, and fell heavily,
striking on his head and shoulders
Fortunately the wheel of the cart
missed him. He was picked up
unconscious, and carried into Dr.
Cathey's office, whete restoratives
were applied and his bruises given
attention. It is now hoped that
his recovery will be rapid.
The proverbial old nag and
"farmer" rider were in evidence at
the races Tuesday. When the
quarter-mile dash was called, a
hay-seedy old gentleman, in his
shirt sleeves and his pants tucked
inside his boots, dragged, rather
than led, a dilapidated old sorrel
nag on the track. As the other
animals for this event capered
about nervously under their jockeys,
the old man and his steed were
subjected to many joshing remaaks.
When the horses dashed under the
wire at the finish of the race, how
ever, the old fellow and his plug
were only a length behind the
leader and the race was won in
2oi reconds.
- Now that the "Glorious Day" is
pasted a sigh of relief will be heaved
by many that there were no more
casualties than took place. No
youngster, as f tr as known, had his
eye-winkers singed, no fires were
get or any thinr on this order. It is
a little early to begin to give advice
about the celebration a year hence,
but in the way of sky-io-,kets too
much cire cannot be employed in
touching them off, as a look at S.
L. Kline's store building will prove.
A rocket sighted toward the top of
this building shot through the
sheet-iron casing and entirely
through the woodwork to the inter
ior of the store. It was very evi
dent that had a man been the target
a hole would have been made
through him that would have been
as light as day.
Farmers state that no hay to
speak of has yet been injured by
the late rains.
Joe Garrow left yesterday for
McCloud, Calif, where he will
spend the summer.
Wilbur Garrow, who left last
week to join his lather in California
has reached his destination, and is
now employed as superintendent of
a dry kiln for a large lumber com
pany.
The management of the Oregon
state fair have decided to increase
the premiums for the best county
exhibits as follows: First, te f 200;
second, to $100; third, to $75, and
fourth, to $50.
Geoge Reed, an ex-member of
Co. K, 2nd Oregon, is here, and will
assist Jacob Sellers on the brick
buildings. Mr. Reed is a brick
mason and hails from Corvallls.
McMinnville Transcript.
E. S. Strong has entirely re
modeled the residence which he re
cently purchased of Mrs. Quivey
and it is now one of the most com
fortable and attractive homes in the
city. He will occupy it this week
Rev. P. Moses and wife left Cor
vaUis yesterday for Tangent, where
they will permanently reside. The
reverend gentleman has resigned
from the ministry and does not at
present intend to again take up the
work.
Married, on Tuesday evening at
the residence of Mr. Alonzo Lloyd,
Mr. Marceilus Gillespie of Eugene,
and Miss Vina Pittman of Blodgett,

wishes follow the happy pair to their
home in Lane county.
James Cantwell, a member of the
force on the Peoples' Press, came
over from Albany to spend the
Fourth. He is quite well acquaint
ed in Corvallis and vicinity, and is
generally referred to as "Curly
Jim." While here he paid this
office a friendly cill.
A GRAND SUCCESS.
The
Celebration In This City
Best in Its History.
was the
The citizens of Corvallis have
reason to congratulate themselves
on the splendid work accom
plished by the fourth of July
,comniittee recently appointed by
them to take charge of the cele
bration. No similar undertak
ing in this city has ever resulted
more successfully and this was
the first two-days' program ever
given here. The showers of
Wednesday kept the flames of
patriotism from bursting into a
blaze, but the spark was burning
brightly and all the exercises
were entered into with enthusiasm.
Crowds began pouring into the
city early the morning of the
third, and their number was
largely augmented by excursion
ists on the Fourth. The threat
ening weather ot the morning,
however, kept away people from
the country who would have
otherwise attended.
Tuesday's program was opened
with a concert by the Dusty
band. This is a really excellent
organization and would do credit
to any town the size of Corval
lis. Their playing here was
highly enjoyed and received
many complements.
The game of ball between Mc
Minnville and Corvallis teams;
resulted in a victory for the latter
by a score of 7 to 12. After the
first inning the game was hotly
contested and was a beautiful ex
hibition.
THE HORSE RACKS.

byterian church next Sabbath

member of the church who is in the
city will be present and a very
kind invitation is extended to all
who desire to unite in this service.

Mies Olive Thompson arrived
yesterday from Hotel del Coronado,
California, at which place the was

at this famous resort. She spent
her Fourth In Portland. Miss

now for home time in order to
thoroughly rest and recuperate
herself.
The magnificent timber to be
found in Oregon forests was dis
played in a small way in the Cor
vallis Sawmill Co. s float on the
Fourth. It was impossible, of
ceurse to make a large exhibit, but
two sticks of 10x10 inches and 40
feet long of clear lumber cannot be
duplicated in every country. The
rustic and other specimens were
elegant.
On Sunday morning at 10 o'clock
occurred the wedding of Mr. P. L.
Withrow of Independence, to Mies
Grace Mattley of th's citv. The
ceremony took place at the home of
the brides parents a mile and a
half south of town. The groom is
a well known young man of Inde
pendence and the bride has a host
of friends in Corvallis who wish
them all joy in their wedded life.
Rev. L. M. Boozer officiated.
An ideal day for racing was
the verdict of horsemen Tues
day, and it certainly was an
ideal day from the spectators
standpoint. While the sun shone
warm and bright, the weather
was not saltry. It is estimated
that 3,000 witnessed the contests
which were held at Kiger's park.
No mishaps occurred and gen
eral satisfaction was expressed at
the manner in which the various
events were conducted. The re
sults of the son test were an fol
lows: .

three, pace or trot, prizes $25
$10, won by Roy Rickard's

by IngroYe's Flora G; time sq
seconds.
Half mile dash, free tor all,
prizes $25 and $10, won by A
R Robinson's Independence
Maid ; time, 54 seconds.
IN THE EVENING.
Another concert by the band
in the evening preceded the per
formance of 'What Happened to
Jones," by the local theatrical
company at the opera House.
Corral lis people have learned
to expect delightful entertain
ment from this company, but
these from abroad had to learn
that Corvallis has some ama
teurs that, so far as talent and
skill are concerned, are really
professionals. The Opera House
was crowded from stage to doors,
and many were turned away.
So admirably was the delightful
comedy presented that the audi
ence screamed with laughter and-!
shook the building with ap
plause. Special scenery had
been provided and the stage
setting was the finest ever seen
in this city. The music by Cor
vallis orchestra was excellent and
put the last finishing touch on
as fine an entertainment as a
city of this size often sees. The
gross receipts were $153.
THE FOURTH.
Independence day was ushered
in by a grand salute at sunrise.
The small boy and the fire
cracker were astir early and the
din continued through the day
and far into the night.
A game of ball between Leb
anon and Corvallis, was won by
the latter, the final score being
29 to 3. This occupied the time
until the parade which moved at
10:30. This was one of the fea
tures of the day,, and what it
lacked in size it made up in at
tractiveness, lhe noats were
unique and appropriate and the
special features were most inter
esting. Owing to the inclem
ency of the weather, the literary
exercises were neia in tne opera
house. The declaration of Inde
pendence was clearly and forcibly
read by Miss Laura Thomas, of
Jefferson. The oration by Judge
L. R. Webster, of Portland, was
eloquent and ably delivered
The Albany band played several
selections. This is undoubtedly
the best organization of the kind
which that city has had in years

An Old-Timer.
After an absence of fifteen years
Nat Stewart arrived in Corvallis
Sunday for a visit with old-time
friends. When Mr. Stewart first
shook the dirt of Corvallis from his
feet he had -just reached his major
ity and was a slender young man.
Since then he hat developed into a
heavv and well rounded gentleman.
He has a wife and tour children,
also a number of gray hairs in his
head to show that'Time" ereepeth

held for some time.
Nat Stewart was born about a
mile below town on what Is referred

respects he notes many changes,
but on the other hand he says the
country looks natural. Compared
with hit section he says the growth

New Principal Elected.
At a meeting of the board of di
rectors of school district No. 9, held
last Monday evening, to elect a suc
cessor te Principal S. I. Pratt, of
the public school of this city, A. S.
McDonald, for two years principal
of the Albany public schools, was
chosen for this position. His salary
will be the same as that paid his
Sredecessor, and he will assume his
uties at the opening of the school,
which occuis September 17th.
This completes the corps of teachers
for the coming year, which is as
follows: A. S. McDonald, Mrs.
Nelnis, Miss Wicks, Nick Tartar,
Miss Maxwall, Miss Currin, Miss
Greffoz, Miss Cooper end Miss Mc-
Cormick.
Mr. Pratt has accepted the prin-
cipalship of the Philomath school at
a salary equal to the one received
here. The responsibilities will net
be so great and his duties will be
less exacting. Professor Pratt has
had charge of the Corvallis schools
for eight years. Under his man
agement they have attained a high
standard of proficiency, and no
word of adverse critizism has been
heard against his methods of con
ducting the affairs of the institu
tion. We congratulate the school
board ef Philomath for securing bo
competent a man to take charge of
their elegant new schools which is
just now in course of erection.
The people of Corvallis regret
very much to have Mr. and Mrs.
Pratt leave the community, but
are glad that that he is to remain
in the immediate vicinity.
Another Runaway .
An interposition of providence is
the only reason that can be given
why someone was not killed or
badly crippled in a runaway whioh
occurred near Maryi river yester
day morning. Two couples who
had been attending the celebration
in this city were driving home.
They each had a single rig, and
one buggy was occupied by Claude
Starr and a young lady, while the
other which was immediately be
hind contained Frank Porter and
another young lady. When near
the bridge, their herse took fright
at a cow and ran over the grade,
upsetting the buggy and throwing
the occupants out Mr. Starr
whipped his horse into a run, hop
Ing to escape the frightened animal
behind him, but he failed in this.
As it dashed past him the wheel of
the Porter buggy took two spokes
out of the hind wheel of the other
rig, and the lines wrapped around
the hub. This soon brought the
runaway to a standstill, but not un
til he had demolished the buggy.
None of those mixed up in the
affair were hurt in the least-
New Train Service.
Sarah J. Eaton.
The death of Mrs. Sarah J. Eaton
occurred at the home of her son-in-law,
S. H. Moore, Saturday evening,
as a result of ulceration of the
stomach. Mrs. Eaton was born in
Ireland, July 4, 1827. For the past
thirty years she has been a resident
of Illinois, coming to Oregon last
Augnst. The funeral occurred
Monday at 11 a. m. at Mountain
View sehool house. The services
were conducted by Rev. Myron
Boozer, and interment took place
at the Locke cemetery. Mrs. Eaton
leaves two daughters Mrs. Lizzie
J. Slater and Mrs. Josie Moore, of
this city.
The new train service on the Corvallis
& Eastern should prove satisfactory to
the citizens of Corvallis. The train now
leaves Corvallis daily except Sunday at
6 a. m. and returning leaves Albany at
7:20 p. m, arriving in Corvallis at 8 :05.
It connects both ways with the Portland
local at Albany, permitting the round
trip to be made in a day giving aix hoars

GROCERY selling in a depart
ment store no .longer attracts
attention because of itsnovelity,
but for the reason that the best of
food products costs less there than
the exclusive grocer charges.
This store is easily in the lead in
this respect. Our grocery de
partment is appreciated by well
posted buyers because it offers an
opportunity to supply the family
needs in this line at closest prices.
Country produce taken.
WHENEVER you find a

attention of our customers to an
especially fine and complete line
of neckwear just opened.
SHOE value consists in wear,
style and comfort. If any
of the three are lacking the foot

our customers wilkbear out these
statements. We believe this is
the best place for you to buy shoes,
and solicit your patronage.
F. L. Miller.
Every item offered below is proof of
the above assertion.
The quotations are only a very meagre representa
tion of the values which place this store unquestionably
in the lead. This store is crowded with the most com
plete and comprehensive stock of dry goods we have
ever shown. Every line was bought at close prices, and
the goods will be passed along to our customers at the
usual small margin of profit which has made this store
so successful and popular.
The New Spring Parasols
Are Here
This store offers many attractions to
economical buyers.
A store that relies solely on low prices to win and
hold trade is playing "a losing game." To win such
success as this store is winning it is necessary that the
low prices should represent goods of strictly reliable
quality. Every woman in this city who is posted on dry
goods, and who takes the time to compare goods and
prices will admit that our values are superior. We make
and hold customers by treating them right. We lead;
others follow.
IP you want a stylish spring hat
for $3.00, just as good as the
$5. 00 kind, come here. The only
difference is in the absence of the
name, and "what's in a name."
If you are willing to pay two dol
lars for a name, buy the five dol
lar hat If you want to pay only
for the hmt, come here. Agent
for Kingburry hats.
OTJR glove stock is the best
patronized and most popular
in this vicinity, because we make
a constant effort to show n larger
line, and offer better. g4ove values
than any other local dealer. It is
not easy to do a satisfactory kid
glove business. It requires long
experience, careful buying, con
scientious selling and a willing
ness to be content with a small
profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.
That's why Corvallis women can
get better gloves here for the
price than elsewhere.
EFORE your spring gown
are fitted a new corset wil
be needed. That goes almost
without saying, for everyone
knows that an ill-fitting or worn
out corset spoils the fit of the
dress. Our corset woman can
help customers select the proper
model one that will improve the
figure. Consult her and yon will
be better satisfied with your cor
set, and the fit of your dresses.
Prices from 50c to $1.50
RECENTLY advances have
taken place in all lines of
cotton goods. Before the advance
we stocked up with cords of do
mestics shirtings, sheetings,
ginghams, prints, and other cot
ton goods. We are now selling
these goods at just about what
other merchants have to pay for
them at present prices. Yon will
find this store a good place to sup
ply your needs in this line.
