COMPANY Of EMINENT PLAYERS.
What The "Statesman" Says Concerning;
the Reception Given this Grand P. ay
at Salem.
" ;Quo Vadis,' that great religious
spectacular favorite, was produced
at the New Grand Opera House,
last night; by toe Rassel-Drew Co.,
before an audience that crowded
the opera house from the orchestra
to the doors. It was the largest
audience eve; seen in the' New
Grand, and the "standing room
only" sign was displayed early in
the evening. The performance was
so well received that the manage-
msnt was compelled to ai range for
a secoud performance of his great
masterpiece, which will be had to
morrow (Wednesday) night, when
another crowded house is assured."
From the Statesman, Salem, Feb
ruary 5.
"Quo Vadis," will be produced
by this eminent company of play
ers at the Opera House tomorrow
evening, February 9. "Quo Vadis"
is a play that will make people
that witness it better for having
dune so. Prices of admission, 35,
50 and 7.5 cents.
Carriage Factory May Open.
Prospects are exceedingly
bright for revival of operations
at the carriage factory. This
large and valuable, plant has
been lying idle for years, and be
sides being a reminder of the
blow its closing was to the city,
it has made others wary of start
ing an enterprise. E. E. Wil
son, who represents the present
owners, is authority for the state
ment that two young and enter
prising business men have vir
tually closed a deal looking to
the purchase, and operation of
the plant. ... Those gentlemen
will be in Corvallis to personally
investigate the property and
local advantages early in March.
Mr. Wilson has spared . no
time nor pains to fully inform
the prospective purchasers upon
all matters concerning which
they sought information. They
seemed quite anxious to know
what facilities Corvallis" could
ofier in the way of schools and
churches. Expert workmen will
be required in the factory and it
is probable that they will be
men of families, good schools
and numerous churches will be
a great inducement to them to
came here. -
The growing appreciatioa in
the East for Oregon oak as ma
terial for making wagons, has at
tracted the attention of those in
terested in this field to the lao
tory at Corvallis. An item . of
greatest expense in wagon saak
ing is freight. By building
these vehicles where the lumber
entering into their construction
is grown, this expense is ob
viated and a nice profit ' is in
sight. The purpose is to make
all the parts of a wagon here,
except the hubs. An inovation
1-will be the manner of construct
ing the beds. Heretofore, fir
was " used exclusively. ,:If has
been discovered that larch which
grows in profusion along the
line of the C. & E.,- is quite as
good for this purpose and is
much lighter, thereby removing
the great objection to the use of
flr. ,,-;.;,,-The
fact that the factory has
failed twice -heretofore, is not
discouraging to : the new pro
moters of the enterprise. They
have been made familiar " with
the splendid advantages offered
by this section, and the cause of
former failures. In the first in
stance, the manager killed it by
overstocking; and its last mana
ger came to the position totally
inexperienced. L
When these Eastern gentle
men arrive here next month
they should be extended every
courtesy and unstinted encour
agement. The opening of the
factory means" employment for
from fifty to one hundred men,
besides the work to be supplied
through lines radiating from the
factory; in the forests, on the
railroads, at the mills, etc. It
will form a nucleus for other
manufactories, which together
with our farming, dairying and
other industries will furnish the
community with ample revenue
for a thriving community.

What Will Result.
J. T. . Appersen, of Oregon
;Ctty, president of the board of
regents of the O A O, arrived in
Corvallis, Monday. He came up
to overlook affairs at the college,
and it is known that he was
joined here by Architect Bur
graff, of Albany. This seems to
augur well for affairs at the
school.
For some time it has been the
intention of the regents to im
prove the system of toilets, the
heating plant, and make various
improvements of - the grounds
that will have the effect of mak
ing everything more healthful
and beautiful.
A couple or more years ago
when the old mechanical hall
burned down, it was wondered
if the building would be rebuilt,
or if a horticultural and agricul
tural building would replace the
one burned down. This, of
tourse was the talk of the people
outside of the authorities. Now
there is a sort of a general feel
ing that something permanent is
about to be inaugurated at the
college as a result of the recent
ly acquired appropriation of $25,
000. It is also rumored, possi
bly without foundation, that the
outcome of the matter will yet
be a substantial building for hor
ticultural and agricultural inter
ests. It is sincerely hoped that
this may prove true, as it is
greatly needed. We have a
mechanical hall, well equipped,
now let us have the other, or
agricultural Sail. As far as can
be ascertained at present, there
has been nothing divulged by
the regents thatvwould warrant
one- m stating that O A C is to
have any more 'buildings, but
the public keeps an eye on
affairs, and this is the conclusion,
or hope it has arrived at. May
it prove correct. .
Fifty Years a Mason.
Last Wednesday evening was
the occasion of an event in the
history of the local Masonic fra
ternity which will be long
and pleasantly remembered. It
marked the 50th anniversary of
A. Cauthorn's membership in
the order. The various lodges
met in joint- session and Father
Cauthorn was the guest, of the
evening.
Mr. Cauthorn made a short
address in which he related a
most interesting history of - his
affiliation with the order since
joining it in Mexico, Missouri,
fifty years ago. Response was
made by B. F. Irvine, who pre
sented Mr. Cauthorn with a
beautiful boquet. An address
on behalf of the Eastern Star
was delivered by Mrs.. Callahan,
and Prof. J. B. Horner read an
able paper. This program was
interspersed with vocal solos by
Mrs. M. S. Woodcook and Prof.
J. F. Fulton, and instrumental
selections by Dr. Harper and
Mrs. Inez Wilson.
The entertainment closed with
a sumptuous banquet. No social
event ever held in this city was
more delightful. - . Father Cau
thorn was heartily, congratulated
by all present upon the length
of his membership in the order
and. the vigor and interest he
manifested for one of his ad
vanced age.
