Hotel Corvallis Case. Tuesday (today), the case of B. F. Beach vs. Gerhard Estate and Philip Phile will come up for a hearing before the supreme court at Portland. This is a case that has attracted about as much at tention as the imposing structure of the unfinished Hotel Corvallis. When the ; matter of creditors, lien and mortgage holders was first adjusted, B. F. Beaoh, a paint and oil, etc., man, f Port land, did not have his lien in for a hearing and his claim was sabmitted to carpenters and con tractors who worked on tV ; hotel, in order that they r judgment on the justice of 1. . Beach's claim for material f . -nished. It appears that th r verdict was against him, and the matter was carried to the circuit court. The Gerhard Estate held deed and mortgage for the comer lot on which the building stands and Philip Phile had a like claim on the adjoining half-lot that is covered by the building. The decision in the circuit court was that Mr. Beach be given prior claim on the building, while the Gerhard Estate and Philip Phile were given first claim on the real estate. . ' ' Mr. Beach, . at this point, claimed that, his lien would Dot be satisfied in this way and the matter was carried to the supreme court. Here the de cision f the circuit court wai sustained. In some tn&nner he was enabled to again bring the case to a hearing before this court, and now it is up for the third hearing. Mr. Beach is su ing for prior olaim against both building and real estate. Band Concert.

People as a general thing have "hysteria" and other things about as readily over an "oil strike" as anything else, not ex cepting gold. The Albany Her aid tells a good story regarding an oil strike recently made in that city, and by reading be tween the lines one can readily see that many of the leading lights of our sister city got a little "panicky" ever the possi bility of their not being & z to secure "corners" that wo? 3 land them where they coi .d twirl their fingers from their nosas and shout defiance to the Stand ard Oil Co. Sere is the tale: Teha Turner, the well-known humorist, who presides over the ticket office of the C. & E. rail road in this city, set the people at the depot agog yesterday by showing them an embryo oil well en the vacant ground east ef the station. Early in the morning he had procared part of a barrel of old oil, and digging a hole in a small ditch seme 100 yards distant, poured it in and covered it up. The result was by neoa the oil was running eut below in a fine stream, and when he pointed out these "sure iadica tionsM of an oil well, several who had been in the California oil regions pronounced it the gen uine article. It is said that Conductor MeErlane and Bre. Nutting, of the Democrat, each tried to secure an option oa enough ground to dig a well, and it was only when late in the day and the true state of facts leaked out that they reluctantly abandoned the idea of boring for oil. - Benlah Entertains Alphas. The Beulah Rebekahs No. 3 1, I. O. O.

The band boys of Philemath gave a concert aad basket social in the Odd Fellows' hall, ia that place, last Friday evening. The prime object of the entertain ment was to raise money to pay hall rent and bay instruments, ete. Victor Moses, of the Cor vallis Band, went out and assist ed the boys in their concert play ing baritone. He reports a nice time, ia spite et the inclement weather. - Daring the evening twenty-two baskets were seld and brought the neat little sum of $30.80. The band starts off with a spirit ef confidence that augurs well for Its success. The instrumantation is as follows: R J Moses, solo B-fiat coraet; Frank Williams, sole B-flat eor net; Millard Long, ist B-flat; Calom Ingle, and B-flat; Walter Newton, E-flat cornet; Homer Wyatt, solo alto; Charley Allen and Remo Rondo, 2nd altos; Chester Henkle and Fred Davis, tenors; Arthur Ditmar and Roy Henkle, baritones; Athol Chap man, tuba; Wm Casser, bass drum ; Dell Henkle, snare drum. Three Questions. Before purchasing a piano or ' organ there are a few questions it is well to consider. First: Is the instrument made to use or simply to sell ? Second : Is the the tone, action and finish first class? Third: Is the price reasonable? Cheap instruments are expensive at any price. Why? Because they never give satis faction, being constructed of the cheap est material hastily thrown together. To secure the value of your money there is one certain way. - Buy an instrument which has not only an established repu tation for years, but which has kept up with every improvement of modern times. If you then would like such . u instrument with a tone, action and i -ish unsurpassed, I have them, and t 1 furnish you any at the lowest pri' Call around. Mobdautt Goodnough. Ill-Fated Trip. Saturday forenoon . the steamer Kutli arrived in this city with nags at half-mast. It was learned that on the way up the river, just above tnejunetion of the Santiam and Willamette, the boat bad struck a drifting log. Shortly afterward a report was made to the captain that water was. accumulating in the hold quite rapidly, and the sup position was that a hole had been stove in the hull of the craft by the collision. This happened just be fore daylight. Captain Miles Bell, who is in command of the Ruth, Bent his son, Ira, who was the nightwatchman, to investigate the nature and ex tent of the damage. Regarding what transpired later there are varioue accounts. One account has it that the young man' entered the hold with his lantern, and after waiting for something like ten min utes his father whistled for him. Ai ha did not answer the summons, others went to investigate and ioand the lantern in the hold where Ira had left it. They could not find him high or low and surmised that when he came out of the hold, his eyes, unaccustomed to darkness, had failed him and in some manner he had fallen overboard. There is another account that states he had gone forward to the bow of the boat, where there was a pile of cord Wood, to peer over to see, if possi ble, if anything was foul of the bow. And it is thought by some that he may have in some way caused the pile of wood to fall, which crowded him off the deck. However, the fact remained that he was missing and search failed to give any clue to his whereabouts, other than that he had fallen into the waters of the Willamette, which was high at the time. The Ruth turned, about and cruised baek down the river in search of the missing man, but was barren of re sults. Ira Bell was about 30 years of age and could not swimr Real Estate Transfers.
