The O A C band boys we.e down town Friday afternoon and gave the citizens a sample of their play ing. They "gingered up ana play ed like they meant it. Their play- ng is really very creditable. Saturday, the young ladies com prising the basket ball team of the Chemawa Indian school were es corted about the O A C grounds and shown the various things of in terest in connection with the insti tution. President Gatch gave a theatre party to4he senior class at O A C, Friday evening, and invited the tudents to attend the pertormance of "The Wife." After the play was over the party repaired to Pres- dent Gatch 8 residence, where a delicious banquet awaited them. The students are very enthusiastic over the pleasure afforded them by the president. James D. Zurcher, manager of the O A C football team, has pur chased fifteen jerseys for use of the boys next season. They are un usually fine, and the colors ara Yale blue and old gold, the colors were blended with stripes of vari ous width which gives a splendid effect. They are reinforced with leather.

The youngsters had an enjoyable time and are very thankful to Captain Graham for his kindness in affording them so much enjoyment on this occasion.

The success of the performance of "The Wife,' both in a financial and artistic way, augurs well for the success of next years football team, and other athletic represen tatives of the O A C. Over $100 will go to the athletic fund of the college from the receipts of last Fri day night's performance. In his curtain talk between the 3rd and 4th acts of "The Wife," Manager Zurcher announced that he had just received a telegram fiom Mc Millan, Multnomah's successful coach, accepting the position as coaoh of the O A C team next year. The statement was heartily ap plauded.

His health is better at present than it was few months ago and he will start for home as soon as the weather gets warmer, We see that the matter regarding the right of Yamhdl county to levy a road tax on property within the city limits of the City of AlcMinn ville is likely to be taken into the courts. Before making the ley- for Benton county the court ee cured the opinion of the district at torney on this matter and decided not jo. levy a road tax on property. within the city limits of the cities of Corvallis and Philomath Dusty Notes. G. R. Hall started for Saa Francisco a few days ago to consult a cancer special ist He fears that he has a cancer grow- iug onlthe inside of his lower lip. It made its appearance about a year ago, but grew very slowly at first until he cut it away, when it began to grow much faster. It is to be hoped that it is not a cancer. George Spaght had a night caller a few nights ago. He went to George's private sleeping apartment, took a pocketbook containing t wo or three dollars, and then went to the kitchen and got a lunch. Mr. Spaght heard the intruder, but thought it was his son, Fred, and did not get up. The team belonging to L N. Fdwards took a lively spin the other day. It started at S. A. Thorp's barn, one mile west of Dusty, ran through Dusty and turned south toward the chapel. Emil Howard saw them coming and prepared to give chase on a horse." He soon brought them to a halt with no damage done. John C. Perin moved to his new home on Chapel hill, the first of the week. We are glad John is permanently located here. The W. O.

Mrs. Perin has been ill for several days, but is now a little better Mr. Ingram and Mrs. Brown are ljoth convalescent. : Dustyitb. - J The Improvement Society. (Contributed.) ' Corvallis has a Village Improvement Society. The Organization met Monday. committee was appointed to coner with the rail roads and truckmen rela tive to laying out the grounds at rail road stations. Pamphlets telling . what has been accomplished by similar socie ties in the" East were distributed among members. On the Atlantic coast from Bar Harbor to Southern Georgia improve ment societies are numbered by hun dreds. They create sentiment' in favor of all sorts of improvements. Thev get old barns torn down and electric lights established. They clean streets and brinjj pure water into towns. The South, too has caught the conta- tion. A railroad down there is using the village improvement idea in every town along its line, 1,000 miles long. The recipe for the whitewash used by the government on the White House and light houses along the caast is given out in circulars, and people use the prepara tion in whitewashing outhouses, trees and fences. The region is being trans formed in appearances 'all the way from Maine to Florida by Village Improvement societies like that in Corvallis. The movement had its beginning in Massachusetts. A stranger there criti cized the towa. Two ladies took up the criticism and used it to create sentiment for reform. The beginning was slow, and laborious. In time, however, the spark was lighted, and now the move ment extends from Massachusetts to California' and has millions of members. Avoid the Penalty. Taxpayers of Benton County: While not required to do so, I call your atten tion to the fact that the time for getting 3 per cent rebate for payment of taxes expires Saturday, March 15th. You are allowed by law to pay half of your taxes on or before April 7th and the balance on or before October Cth without rebate or penalty. If one-half is not paid by April 7th the law requires yon to pay a penalty of ten per cent and interest at 12 per cent from April 7th to date of payment. I wiil be required to collect the penalty and interest, for the law exacts it and I will have no discretion in the matter. Corvallis, March 7, 1902. M. P. Bcrxett. Shpriff Benton Co. For Sale.

Corvallis, Ore "TKE WlfL Beautiful Play was Admirably Pre j sented 'fey Local Talent. der the direction oi Geo-1. Paul proved successful not only in a financial way, but as a pleasing presentation of a well-written drama. The penormanee was given for the benefit of next year's football team," and will net the athletes something- like $125. Before noon - Thursday when the box office was opened all desirable seats were taken. So great was the demand for reserved seats that the management found it necessary to add 40 seats more than are usually sold as reserved. Excepting "My Friend from India" this is the best play yet presented by these amatuers, and some have "even questioned the exception. Certainly it was an excellent selection. The players exhibited an understanding of their parts, acting with a lack of that selfconsciousness that fre quently characterizes a play as amatuerish. The situations were selected to good effect. The star parts, as usual, were taken by Mrs. B. W. Johnson and Mr. Geo. I Paul. Mrs. John son" as the "the wife" had an emotional part a dangerous qual ity in a character for an amataer to undertake but her ; rendition was natural and particularly free Iroin ranting and excessiveness The most dramatic scene in the play was aa interview between "the wife" and her husband and in this the characters were excep tionally well sustained. . Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Paul were given curtain call for their work in this act. In this act Mr. Paul appeared to the best advantage. As Senator Rutherford he had a role very different from that usu ally assumed by him, and his in terpretation proved his versatility. L Jj,. Woodson, with the part of an aged member of the? produce exchange, played in -his perihe- lon. He has never taken a part better suited to him and-he play ed it like a veteran. A villian in "the drama was a woman taken by Miss Uiive Hamilton. It is sufficient com pliment to her work, to say that he presented the character with a naturalness that deprived her of her merited share oi commen dation. Miss Edna Irvine was a chic soubrette. She played with a cleverness that materially add ed to the geueral action of the play, and dispelled any.possible darkness. B. W. Johnson was cast as a retired army officer who had a valuable opinion of his ability to impress the fair sex with a consciousness of his sterl ing worth, and Johnson played the part to a T. No less enter taining was Miss Lulu Spangler's interpretation ot the w'dow. Her grace and kindness assisted her to make the part all T:bat could be desired and a material contri bution to the success of the play. Allen Bates found it unneces sary to represent anything but himself. Harry Davis and B. B. Geer sustained excellently char acters of anything but minor im portance, while Miss Steiwer, Miss Fulton and Grant Elgin, gave excellent support. All the players had their lines well com mitted and if any prompting was done, the audience was not aware of it. X; Order of Pendo. A new lodge was organized in this city last Friday evening. The work of organization was done by Mrs. .Nash, of Portland. She is a very pleasant lady and made many friends during her sojourn in this city. The new lodge starts out with a membership of 58, which is pretty good. Friday evening there were 25 present to take the work.
