Members of the order have requested that we publish the following beautiful tribute to Father '. Cauthorn and the Ma sonic brotherhood, delivered byi Prof. J. B. Horner upon the occasion of the recent celebra tion of Mr. Cauthorn' s 50th an niversary as a Mason: , Worshipful Master, Visit ing Friends and Brethren: - We have met this evening as neighbors, friends, and Masons, for the .purpose of paying our hearty and heart-felt respects to one of our number, and to cele brate an event somewhat extraor dinary and of special interest to our beloved brotherhood. This event marks the close of a beautiful half-century member ship in our order; and this mem bership is particularly prized as a Masonic treasure by every broth er. Probably Corvallis Lodge enjoys the high honor of having the only member who has grown to be a semi-centenarian in the order within the jurisdiction of Oregon; it is, therefore, given to but a few to come into direct touch with one whose long life has been spent so largely under the influence of the great lights of Masonry. Hence, it is with gratification and pardonable pride that we point to the circumstance which calls us together on this occasion. Fifty years ago, when America was in the transitional period be- j tween the two great wars . for the enfranchisement of men the rev olution and civil war our dear brother was found worthy by a committee of three good men, and the records show that he has been found worthy ever since a very long period, indeed. Many changes have taken place in these decades. Inventions and discov eries have modified the views of men and changed their pursuits; the mighty have fallen; .govern ments have crumbled to the earth, and the world's geography has been made anew. In the moral world, . passions and prejudices have warped the minds and rent the hearts and shattered the dis positions of men. Over ! and across the lives 01 individuals have swept the hot winds of de struction and death. But inscrib ed on the Masonic scroll we find that the cardinal virtues of our brother's life have remained un changed; for the moSt immutable thing on earth is the character of an upright man. He is what he was fifty years ago,. taller and grander,, .;-"The' soft bathed sky,: the lovely land and the boundless sea have been beau tiful, and the sun has come out ike a king in his splendor; but there have been many storms in that time. The winds have oft en blown fierce and hard, and the thunderbolt has torn away a branch now and then; the floods have swept forest and field; but the sturdy oak has uplifted itself amidst it all, and has stood four score years and five. I wish it might stand a hundred years. and there are many reasons for believing it may. A beautiful theme for contem plation is a happy, contented, ripe old ag6 an old age that wears a silver crown and is aglow and agleam with sunshine. .. Gray hairs are honorable in . the aged, They adorn the palace where dwells the mind, as strong and vigorous as in the years of youth; and srive cower and character to the words of the patriarch. Wis dom is honored by the utterances of a charming old age. But, Brother Cauthorn, while yon have lived the greater part of. a cen tury, you seem to us more like one in middle aee. You have shown to us that age is ftot heces' sarily measured by years, -and that a man of : forty may be : as old as a septuagenarian. V And by your example "you have- proved to this lodee that it agrees well with a man to live out the c prin ciples of the order. Your- life will, therefore, .: be a mamrel - for many a brother.. Hence, in the coming years we expect you to meet with us from time to time, and give us your counsel," and help us in our onward iournev. " . But should you exchange worlds be fore we, it will still be pleasant to speak of our mingling together, and to tell our children 01 you and others ' who made this lodge and upbuilt the community. You have passed a halt cen turv in this order with credit to yourself and honor to the frater nity; and you have started on a new half century, which you wit hardly complete while here among men. But, my brother, I can assure you that your friends and the craft wish you . God-speed, and they hope that your Masonic journey may be sweetened with that directing care which comes like the tenderness of the moon, the silence of the stars and the effulgence of the sun the moon to light your path by night, the stars to guide you on your way, and the sun to give you that greater light so essential in the study and full understanding of the sublimer works of Deity. Be it ours, my dear and honored brother, to follow your example, ever obedient to the sound of that gavel that calls us to duty here and to reward hereafter. Mr. Tartar Won.

Yesterday- morning about 4:30 o'clock, Ed. Phillips was awakened by a bright light shining in his window, and unon investigation discovered that the " residence of C. B. Wells, adjoining, was in flames. He hastily gave the alarm and the hre bell was soon arousing sleepy citizens. The fire company responded promptly, but the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be done aside from preventing the spreading ot the flames. The residence with all it contained was . totally destroyed. The fire appears to have started in side of the house, downstairs in the northwest corner, but its origin has not been determined. No one was home at the time, Mr. Wells being nightwatchman and the rest of the family were out of town.

Every promise made by the management concerning the merits of the performers and the staging of the production was redeemed While the drama is weak compared with the novel, it is lofty in concep tion and performs a service for Christianity more powerful than sermon.
