V The biard of directors of the Corvallis - public schools held a meeting ia the office of the school clerk, - last Friday " evening. The obifct of the meeting was to select a corps nf teachers for the - next school year. Lettie Wicks, on the advice , of her physician, tendered her resignation.

Mr, Melchmn, who hyes m Oak- ville, Linn " bounty, - related on the streets a few days ago that a great. deal of milk is not? com ing to the " Corvallis" creamery efrom- the vicinty of Oakville. 1- hauls the milk for his neigh borsVClong with his own,: to the creamery and those he hauls for pay him. 10 cents per hundred weight ; for v 'hauling. In this manaet about 1,400 pounds of milk" reach the ereamefy every day from- Oakville. .r, Metch urn stated that a great part of this milk would not coma here if it were, not for the fact that a free ferriage system had been es tablished. .. , " ', - .' They haye been hauling milk to the creamery of Corvallis now fxr;a' monthly; Saturday, when MriMetchum started for-Miis home" across the Willamette, he had checks on the First National Bank of this city for $380, which he.was taking back to distribute among his neighbors in payment of the foilk sent to Corvallis dur ing: the month. Aside from this sum Mr. Metchum had cashed a check for himself. - v-"A.: Cameron Fire. The third fira toristt Corvallis during th week past, occurred Friday night. The property known as the old St. Clair house was discovered to be oft fire shortly after io o'clock, by the watchman at the mill and Dolph Emerick. They immediately rushed to the scene and awakened Amy Cameron and his mother, who were the only members of the household who were in the house at the time, Miss Nsllie Cameron and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ephriam Cameron, having gone to the Junior hop at the Armory. Mrs. M. P. Burnett discovered the fire about thi time and after waiting a few moments for the bell to ring, telephoned down town to "central," an naancing that there was a fire in her section of town. The alarm was Immediately turned in and everybody rushed to the scene. By the time the fire-fighting ap paratus had arrived the greater part of the honsehold effects had been taken out of the lower part of the house, which was burning rapidly, with just enough breeze to faa it nicely. Through some misconneetion, misunderstanding, excitement, carelessness or something else, there was great trouble experi enced in getting water. Luckily the house stood alone and did not particularly endanger other pro erty. It is a total ruin. The ladies of the Coffee Club Were as usual promptly at their hall, and the faithful fire laddies were re freshed with a generous supply of hot coffee. Amy Cameron ststes that the loss sustained by himself, mother and sister will be between $200 and $300 and is covered by in surance iu the company that. Cal Thrasher, of this city, represents. Mrs. E. Cameron, who recently arrived from Union, Oregon, on a visit, lost her entire wardrobe. The house burned was the pro perty of Mrs. Mary Bryson. Un til a short time ago she carried an insurance of $600 on the dwel ling, but recently she reduced the policy to $400. It was in sured in the company represented by Mrs. Brvson's son, E. R. Bryson. At present the people who were.burned out are stopping at the home of J. M. Cameron aud family. In Masonic Circles. The Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of Oregon, convened in Portland yesterday. The dele gates elected to represent the local lodge of this city were Pro fessors Covell and Skelton, of O A C, and Virgil Watters. The delegates to attend the Grand Chapter, which convenes tomor row, are H. W. Hall, S. Chip- man and.-J.F. Yates. The Grand Chapter of Eastern Star convened yesterday morning, and Corvallis was represented by Mrs. Ida B. Callahan. Mrs. Lewis Wilson and Mrs. F. A. Helm, past grand matrons of the East ern Star lodge went to Portland during the latter part 01 last week to attend the various ses sions, but Mrs. Callahan went to Portland by way of Albany Sun day evening. M. S Woodcock, past master of Masonry, also went down to Portland to attend the different sessions. Ia several Cases those chosen as representa tives were unable to attend on account of business affairs and sent proxies in their stead. Mrs. Callahan will be home today j but Mrs. Helm and Mrs. Wilson will remain - through the three days' session. Where is This Spring;? Several evening ago a few peo ple of eminent respectibility vere grouped aroand the festive board, relating many and thrilling per sonal experiences. Among those present was a prominent O A C professor. The conversation turned to the "smoking habit." The professor is a "quiter," that is, he "quits" smoking on an average of about once a week he seldom Smokfis in public be cause he is not ashamed of it. Dnring the conversation, the professor admitted thai he had just quit, but was afraid he would find himself in the toils of the habit again at any time. In the course of his remarks he grew ooafideatial and told of a piece of information that had unex pectedly come his way. History tells of the fountain of "Everlasting Youth," and old and young know of the. legend. Of later origin and nearer home, is the' story of the lake in East ern Oregon, or Idaho, in the bot tom of which a petrified forest is growing. -These trees are said to be the home of petrified birds that are eternally singing petrifi ed songs. All know of it but it is not mapped yet. , The professor has get wind of a spring, that is located some where in the Cascade mountains. This genial gentleman was told that after once bathing in its waters all desire for tabacco Van ishes. One dip anl you . are cured. Should you persist in smoking during the" bathing sea son you will sweat blood. But it is no use to hold 9ut against it, a fellow just simply quits smoking' and no longer eares for pipe or weed. The professor is i a earnest and offers to - pay $r ,ooo, eash down, to the man who will guide him to this spring, and the professor is a man of his word. -' The Hat That Never Returned. A certaiu express agent and wire manipulator not very far from Corvallis, attended the Sunday piGnic at Salem. Every thing moved along in that easy style usual on such occasions un til dinner time, when said ex press agent and some friends re paired to the "Cottage" to quiet the inner conflict that was rag ing. After dinner, said agent proposed to move on and make room for others, but could not find the new hat that he had bought . for the occasion. He hunted, and hunted, bnt could not find his hat. He was in a fix, but at tie last moment Bert BowersOx put in an appearance and loaned said agent his hat and placed hiin in charge of a Salem youth who steered him up town to a rummage sale, where he foud . the - article sought for and his friends all asserted that it became him much belter than the lost article. Tuose present assert that the funny end ot the matter is that Logan's new glasses were fuddled afld that he did not know his own bat when he saw it, and that he was Sery anxious that his Corvallis friends should not learn ot his mishap. Field Day. The local field day event held on the college campus, Friday aiternoon, wa9 well attended, and considering the fact that the boys had not taken a great deal of time to specially prepare for the events, the meet was a very good one.

Jenkins Jones, a horse buyer of Tacoma, Wash., has been in town during the past few days looking for animals . suitable for his parpose. T Friday ; Mr. Jones agreed t let 'Geae Tortora take a horse 6f his oat to the place ef Mr.Tartora's father, : Iastead of leading the animal oat," 'Geae drove it oat in a buggy. He did not get back with the aaimal that evening and Mr. Jones be came considerably worried over his horse. Saturday morning dawned and Mr. Jones wa9 Con vinced that the proper thing for him to do was to swear out a warrant for. one Tortora, charg ing him with horse stealing. Friend's of 'Gena persuaded the owner of the animal to wait a little longer and not be too hasty. Thus the matter rested when Mr. Tortora leisurely? drove into the city abont 10:30 "Saturday morn? ing; ': It " was then a laughing matter for all concerned, even Mr. Jones himself fell that he conld afford to smile. The latter being a strauger Here, was not greatly to blame for being so ex ercised. The juniors "played "a practical joke on the seniors, yesterday. The senior flag that should have floated to the breeze during the class day exercises was stolea and could cot be found high or low.
