Up lo date there are only ten or dozen cases filed. All cases must be filed with the county clerk at least twenty days prior to the open ing of court and this only leaves five days more for attorneys to file their cases.

The ladies and gentlemen inter ested in the improvement of Cor vallis mat at Judge Woodward's office in the court house Monday evening. Resolutions were adopt ed and several speeial committees appointed, to report at the next meeting, to be held at the same place at 8 p. m. on Monday, March 2oth. Paste this date in your bonnet and come, the meeting will be an interesting one. . Mrs. Lessie Scrafford, wife of John Scrafford, lately deceased, has received the patent applied for on a gate that John invented before his death. The gate in question is really most ingenious and seems to have attracted much attentioa throughout tha country. Mrs. Scrafford has received many letters regarding "patent rights" for the handling of the gate. There may be much profit m this for Mrs. Scrafford, and as the patent covers a period or seventeen years, she is in no hurry to dispose of the rights. Tonight at 7:30 o'clock Professor Hawley and State Superintendent Ackerman will speak at the Meth odist church, and the entertainment will be further enhanced by a liter ary and musical program. Ihis will mark the opening of the Thir teenth Local Teachers' Institute o: this county, and it is believed that there will be the usual large attend ance.

Soico Items of Interest, Political and So cial, at tho National Capital. ' Editor " Gaz'ett.f.: The "sec ond inauguration- of President McKinley was accompanied by such display and festivities as was becoming this prosperous era. Thers was General Miles in his new uniform, and many other features too numerous to mention. The parade was a three hour affair, largely military; and contained several attractions, such as the West Point cadets, and the boys' from' Annapolis, and a battalion of American troops composed of,; native Porto Ricaus. : The ' weather fellow used his best endeavors to "spoil things, but the inauguration as a whole was said by those who have seen former' ones, to have been a success, Whatever may be the idea at home, it Is the unanimous opin ion of all the newspapers of all kinds of polities, that 'the re turn of Senator Mitchell to the national congress was a splendid solution of the apparent Oregon dead-lock. While the senator. in theory, will come into the senate as a new member,' yet he stands so well with his old asso ciates that he is certain to ob tain such committee assignments as he may desire. It was rumored here that toward the close of the Oregon legislative session a number of the older senators of both parties prevailed upon Senator Tones, chairman of the national democratic commit tee to telegraph the Oregon dem ocratic legislators, urging theni to vote for Mitchell. I do not know how true this story is, but even the rumor will illustrate the strength of Oregon's new senator. While there is rejoicing; over the reappearance of Senator Mitchell, there is really regret at the departure of Senator Mc Bride, who has won the warm regard of the influential senators and proved Himself a very capa ble and useful, member of the upper house. Much that the senator has done for Oregon will never ba known, and will never be appreciated at home. His at titude ia several matters has not pleased the Oregonian, and most of the news the Oregon people get from the national capital comes to them colored by the state's only newspaper. : The president's appreciation for Sen ator McBride's work in uphold ing and Carrying out the policies of the administration is shown in the prompt and unsolicited ap pointment of the senator as com missioner of the St Xouis expo sition, a position which carries a salary of $5,000 a year, for three years. Senator Simon and Represen tative Moody are more, fortunate than their colleagues, in one re spect: Mr. Dunn, Oregon's spec ial correspondent, has " as one of his duties a special chronologing of the work and doings of Sena tor Simon. Since? his work is reviewed- from a friendly stand point, the senator is . free from any anxiety that the people at home will not fee Informed as to what he is accomplishing-. Mr. Moody's private secretary, Mr. Brown, is Mr. Dunn's assistant, and really does most ' 01 the special correspondence for the Oregonian. Whatever the political antago nism of the past, it is very proba ble that the Oregon delegation will work very harmoniously, so far, at least, as concerns legisla tioa for the state. Patronage questions also will, doubtless, be ttled without mush clashing. The engagement of E. S. Wil lard, the English actor, was the artistic success of Washington this season. .. Miss Maud Hoff man, Mr. Willard's leading lady, shared in the honors of . the star, She is one of the most artistic and natural actresses, and one of the handsomest women on the stage today. Miss Heffman does not expect to star for at least two more seasons. She was taken sick in Washington, and re mained here a week after her company left, joining her troape at Pittsburg. Puuiukin pie in Washington is not pumpkin pie. It is made of sweet potatoes, but it tastes like the genuine article. I ate a sweet potato pudding the other day. It paraded under its own name, but from its taste might have been called a cocoanut pud ding. -Grated sweet potatoes were used. The river and harbor bill died -7et6ed,"pracHcaily,-t)y"Se'rial"c)r Carter. ; His; reasons .'art';" not fully knows, but it is generally believed, tfiats the defeat -of the subsidy lull -was -no small factor in the decision of- those who re solved to put the $50,000,000 harbor bill on the shelf. Mr. Carter has been upheld by some for his attitude, for the defeated bill, it is declared, contained many provisions which were rather salty. It seems a dangerous- thing to give one man, un less he have the responsibility of the president . himself, the power to defeat legislation desired, by both .. houses, and it is hardly creditable for a senator "to take advantage of that power unless something far more dangerous and harmful than the river and .harbor bill is at stake. Mrs. John Pipes will return to Oregon soon, the climate 0f Washington disagreeing" with her. ' Mr. Pipes will, retain his position here until fall, at least. H. La, Holgate. It Looked Dangerous. Harvey Sargeanfc is the busi ness end of an enterprise in this city of which few of our citizens have any knowledge. He walked into the Gazette office Wednes day with a weapon "which looked like an infernal maohine. Mr. Sargeant explained that it would kill anything, and it looked it. The instrument was primarily designed to exterminate gophers, but it is mora formidable than at first intended. It, consists of a piece of. gas pipe about eight inches long and the size of a No. is shotgun shell. ; This screws into an ordinary loint of pipe filled with babbet, a hole being left through which a nail, acting as a firing pin, may oper ate, ifie whole is firmly fastened to a heavy board about 8 "by ia inches. A trigger has two attachments, one which re quires a push to release it, and another which operates with a pull. An ordinary No. 12 shot gun shell is used, and the wea pon will : kill anything that a shotgun of this . caliber will kill at a short range. There is-little danger of acci dent, as tile machine is harmless when , the filing, pin is out and this is, the last thing put in place, nd the first thing withdrawn. Mr. Sargeant has his vyorkshop on Main street . near Marshall Miller's store. He has made over 400 of these machines this winter. The 'invention is his own, and considering the value of the weapon ia exterminating gophers or larger pests like. coy otes, etc;, he price of $1.50, which .he'- asks.-is 4lmo'st noth- No Trace of Laskey's Body. Up to the present time no trace has been found of the body of Al Laskey, who was drowned Monday night about a o'clock m attempting to swim the Willamette near tha ferry landing, while under the in fluence of liguor. Tuesday morn ing his hat was picked Jup a short distance below the place where he was last seen, but nothing further has been discovered. Laskey, who was a man about 23 years of age, came to Corvallis Mon day from . Siuslaw, where with a brother he had been employed for some time. He was well in his cups when he appeared at the ferry as it was . pulling out for the eaBt shore. He jumped upon the apion of the boat, and after standing there a few moments leaped into the stream. Mr. Blumhart imme diately returned to the west bank and summoning help started in a skiff to search for the swimmer, but he had sank. Laskey was mentally unballanced, and spent some time in the state insane asylum. "Galley Slave" Tonight. The Coolev Gompanv will pro duce "The Galley Slave" at the Opera House, tonight. This play is a comedy drama of high order, and abounds in heart interest and clean fun. Saturday afternoon, at 2:30, a matinee performance of the "Banker's Children" will be given. The company will close their en gagement Saturday niffht with a magnificent production of Sol Smith Russell's great play, "Peaceful Valley. Matinee prices are 10 and 20 cents; evening prices, 10, 20 and ay cents. ' - .

William McLagan, - City Treasurer, .Pated, Corvallis, Or., -March 15 1901. Mecca' of the Teachers; - Newport is to haye a summer normal school and Seaside lecture course this season. . State . Super in ten dest. Ackerman, of Salem, and several other prominent edu cators have iust returned v from Newport and announce., that the prospects for a iarge attendance ot teachers at the vgreat seaside auditorium is most flattering, and that the best instructors' to be.had will be timely secured. There will be, 1st, a teachers' review course; 2nd, a general scientific, literary and art course; 3rd, round table instruction; 4th, sea side attractions; a course of ten popular evening lectures. Super tendents Denman and Bethers have already signified a deter mination to take hold of the great educational symposium at this celebrated' watering place, and encouraging letters are coming in from all parts of the state. .. : The County School Superin tendent of Linn" will hold the annual institute at Newport and during the term of the Summer School, and will hold his exam inations there, thus giving teach .ers from every portion of the state an Opportunity to take their examination there without being compelled to return home . before the close of the vacation season. Efforts will also be made to per-r feet satisfactory arrangements for county ;- certificates from othet comities. - This arrangement will be appreciated by the teachers throughout the state as giving them advantages hitherto impos sible. The popular course of ten lec tures will offer attraction and edi fication to the great mass of visit ors who will naturally assemble at Newport during this season of the year. It is believed that so large a number will be present that the season tickets to the lec ture coures can be sold at $ 1 each. Special opportunities and inducemeuts will be offered to such persons as signify an inten tion to attend the normal school and lectures. Tenting facilities will be afforded Visitors, ladies as well as gentlemen, where they will be under the protection and influence of .refined families. Special rates will be offered those who hold season tickets ; and . as the Statesman says'. "Everything will be done to make Newport the Mecca of the teachers of Ore gon during the summer months of 1 90 1.' Two More Nights. It is unfortunate for Mr. Cooley and the capable company of players he has gathered about him, that they should appear in Corvallis at a time when examinations at the college prevent students from en couraging them with their patron age. JNor is the loss .all Mr. Cooley 's, for the lessoas taught in such an excellent play as "Lost Paradise," are more impressive than those learned from books. No more vivid picturing of the great Btruggle between capital and labor can be imagined than the portrayal in this drama, and the Cooley company present it admire ably. 'The Black Flag" failed to draw as well as it deserved, partially be cause it was produced here not long ago. "The Butterflies," Wednesday night's bill was made popular by John Drew, soon after he went a EtarriBg. It has been pronounced a good play by the public and the critics, but it takes a Drew to make it a success. This company is really deserving of liberal patronage. The perform ers are capable; their repertoire is excellent; costuming and make-up are- appropriate, and a pleasiug feature is the attractive stage set ting arranged for each performance.
