Mutual Recognition. : On last Friday a curious thing happened in our city. There was a meeting of a brother and sister who Bad not been together since they "were infants, some twenty years ago. Their parents died when the brother was three aad a half years old and the sis ter about eighteen months. The waifs were adopted by different people, and at present bear the names ef their parents by adop tion. After reacaifl their ma jorities a couple of yeais ago they made an effort to locate one another. The , young man was located In the Willamette val ley, while the sister was in the Baker City district teaching school. In some manner they lost trace of each other. In the course oT time the young lady drifted to Bentea county and became a teacher in our pub' lie schools, and the young man secured ' .employment in a log ging fiamp a few miles above Corvallis. Just recently they learned that they were Hying within a few miles of each other. According to a ' pre-arranged plan,: when the Yaqnina train pulled into Corvallis, last Fri day forenoon, the sister alighted from the train and was embraced by her brother. Although they were babies when separated, they knew each ether at once on meeting.,,..:- ,- -.j;: : -i; ; - . To make the meeting, more interesting it was found to be the birthday of both parties. It wa9 also George Washington's birthday. The young lady was 22 years old,- while her brother W29 24. .. Guy Mankin, . the brother, arrived here in Decem ber, from Turner.

Corvallis crowded all hr in terest in the senatorial fight into tne last lew hours or that strug gle, i During the entire session of the legislature local statesman and others refused to becomei cited, although, the subject was accoraea mucn caira considera tion. Saturday night, however, tilings nep'an to warm tin 13 o - " Crowds gathered about the door of the telephone office, and every message started a tresh volume of chatter. The practical ioker was presens eany in tne evenine. Robert .... - . Johnson was called from his chair in Tammany by a messen ger announcing that he was wanted at the telephone office a moment later, parties in the office of Bryson & Woodse-n saw "Bob" eomino tin the fret In a . a keen trot, and disappear in the teiepnone omce. "Hello," said Bob, "who's this?" and strange to say tne parties in Bryson & Woodson's office heard the query. "Campbell; I'm in Salem," came the answer. "Well, what is it?" said Bob, and his voiee was trembling with excitement "It's fixed to elect Mitchell on the last ballot at midnight," came over the 'nhnne. Rob dropped the receiver and nearly broke something in his haste to get out on the street, where he confidently imparted "the tip" to everybody he met.- The chill which tcok possession of him when he learned that the mes sage had come from Bryson & Woodson's office, was dispelled later when at midnight the mes sage came from Salem that Mitchell had been elected and on the ballot a 12 o'clock, when Bob had the laugh on the per petrators of the joke. 1 he announcement that a sen ator had been elected brought a sigh of relief for it was feared that there would be no election. fWith few exceptions everyone was pleased with the result. The republicans were gratified to know that a competent man had been elected -and that he was the . choice of a maiority of the republicans in the legis lature, having . received 35 re publican votes. The democrats were overioyed becanse it was Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell received 46 votes, eleven of which were democratic. ' By Albany Atnatuers, "Next Fridav evenine the com edy-drama, "A Debt of Honor," will be presented in this - city by the amateur dramatic club of Al bany. The entertainment will be given under the ausoices of the local lodge of the Degree of Honor, and the proceeds will go into the exchequer of that organ ization. These friends from our sister city are making this a pure ly social visit and should be greeted by a crowded house. They have chartered their own car and will be accompanied by the Al- oany band. C. C. Hosrue. L. L. Swan. Earl Brandeberry, Mrs. Hare and D. T. DuBruille. all former Cor- vallisites, are members of the cast. Years ' ago these friendly visits were auite freauent . between dramatic and other organizations of Corvallis and Albanv and there was a better understanding: and a warmer feeling between' these cities on account of this. Our citizens should manifest the right spirit toward these visitors and give them a hearty welcome.

Bareinger, who was in Corvallis yesterday morn lnSt particulars were learned concerniag the disappearance of the little seven-year-old so.i of Tobias Tom, of Alsea, last Fri day morning. Together with! friends, Mr. Bareinger was on a fishing trip in Alsea and v as near the childs home when he disappeared. Early Fridav morn ing Mrs. Tom sent the little fellow out to gather some eggs. A ' he did not appear in a reason able time search was made for him but without results. Night came and bo trace of the missing child was found. Saturday morn ing a search party was organized and at 6 o'clock the entire com munity gathered in a drenching rain storm and began a system atic hunt. The Toms live in what is known as Missouri val ley and their home is Very near the Alsea river. It is feared that the child has been drowned. Although Mr. Bareinger's party left early Saturday morning for tneir homes near this city, the news of the disappearance had traveled so rapidly that persons in the upper end of the valley were aware of it before the party arrived there. Albany Is Threatened. Corvallis is not going to be allowed a monopoly on the anx iety over the possibility of the Willamette changing its course. The recent freshets have demon strated that there is grave dan ger of the Willamette river cut ting through the low lands above that city, tans formings new channel, which would make an island and leave Albany on the bank of a slough. The Herald says: The attention of business men has been directed to the matter, and it has been found that several feet of earth was cut away by , the last flood.' The United States engineers will be asked to inspect the threatened change in ohannel, and if deemed advisable, to recommend that revetment work be eonstructed to prevent flamage from this cause.
