LOCAL NEWS. T. W. Howard went to I'rinee- ville last week to attend some busi ness that will reauire his attention A for a few weeks. Daring his visit to this city, last w k. Reginald HiddeD. violinist of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, was a guest at tne jonn smm home. Word has teacbed this city to the effect that Mrs. A. Ji. ueivay, mother-in-law of C. A. Barnhart, had reached Morn's, Minn., in safe ty. She is about 85 years old, but stood the long trip fairly well. About a dozen men began work, Friday afternooD, on the sewer that iil run south from Jefferson street between the Presbyterian and Bap tist churches. The sewer will run south two or three blocks from this point. Irving Hart and Frank Owen, lelatives of Charley Barnhart, who recently arrived from the East on a visit, suddenly determined to make a tour of California and tiok their departure for that state last Satur day morning. Father Dominic, who is in charge of the musical department ot Mt. Angel college, attended the festival of music in this city a couple of evenings laBt week. He was great ly pleased with what he heard and saw in this city. The Sorosis society, of O A C, gave their last etertainment of the season at the home of Miss Merle Simpson, Saturday evening. A de lightful evening was enjoyed and among other features, Miss Mabel Cronise sang some vocal numbers.

There is to be a picnic at Junction City today and they will join in the festivities at that point. They will be absent about a week and will be the guests of Mrs. Houck's son, George. Last week G. A. Robinson nego tiattd the sale of the J. V. Ingle farm of 98 acres to David Whaley. This is a well -improved place and is situatfd near Plymouth church about a mile and ahalf this side of Philomath.

Mr. and Mrs. Broad, home mis 8ionar:es among the Indians, will speak at the Congregational church this evening, May 20, at 8 o'clock. The public are invittd to attend. At 4 o'clock this afternoon, Mrs. Broad desires to meet as many of the children as possible at the Con gregational church. She will sing Indian songs, and otherwise enter tain them along the line of her work. Little folks sometimes make lu dicrous blunders. During the field meet in this city last week between Nowberg college and O A C a little boy became much enthused over the pole vaulting. On his arrival home he desired lo convey to his people, the fact that the height of his ambition was to be apole-vault-er. and remarked thfit the "height of his animosity was to be a pole vaulter." The government has sent a doz en appropriate head stones to this city to be placed over the graves of veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars who died in service and are buried here. Among the stones is one tor the grave of Lyman Kejsay, a member of Co. D. 2nd Oregon, who died in service in the Philip pines. Lyman was a Corvalhs boy and was a member of the K. of P. lodge, of this city, and the members of the order are having the K. of P. emblems cut on the stone. It is hoped that all of the head stones can be pliced above the veterans' gi a ves before Memorial Day. The majority of the stones are destined for Crystal Lake cemetery. fl TtArirnm. founder and double bass player of the Portland Sym phony Orchestra, proved himself to be'as pleasant and congenial a gen tleman during his visit to this city as he is an artist on his instrument. He is one of the greatest double bass players in the country, having at one lime been the basso of the Emma Abbot Company and an as sociate of II. J. Buttler, the famous basso of the Boston Symphony Or chestra. Mr. Bertram is the double bass player at the Marquam O.r-irtd theatre "in Portland, which position he has held for twelve years. He has many warm ad mirers in this city, who will be glad to welcome him to Corvallis at any time he may choose to come. Jeweler.

Three candidates took the en campment degrees in the I O O F lodge of this city, Friday night. They took all three degrees, after which a very nice banquet was in dulged in. X. P. Peterson Las disposed of his place just west of this city, to Mr. Rice recently from the East. Mr. Peterson has accepted a posi tion with an elevator company at Pomeroy, Wash., and will leave shortly to assume its duties. Mr. Long, a Portland attorney, was in Corvallis last Saturday. He is interested in the task of get ting the Lewis and Clarke Exposi tion proposition that is to be given in Portland in 1905 properly launched before the people. Miss Leona Smith had a number of young friends call on her, Fri day evening, in honor of Misses Goss and Morey, of Portland, who were her guests. Conversation and music were the features cf enter tainment. Delicious refreshments were served. Today members of the Grand Lodge, I O O F, of Oregon, will pass through this city en route to Newport, where a three-days ses sion of that body will be held. It is estimatd that there will ba an attendance of bUU or l.UUU at this meeting and .Newport has made preparations for such a number. Harry Cronise, Ed Strong and Charley Barnhart were elected dele gates from the Corvallis lodge. Oregon captured more than 252 mednl.3 and diplomas at the Charleston, S. C. exposition, more than any other three states com bined. She was awarded one diplo ma of highest awards, G3 gold, 43 silver, 55 bronze medals and 9O di plomas of honorable mention. The Oregon Agricultural College re ceived a gold medal for grains and grasses; J. R. Brown, Corvallis, flax, gold medal; A. J. Sautelle, Coryallis, teasel?, gold medal. Wm. I'M.. Fraker. of Pendleton, Oregon, arrived in Corvalli?, Sun day morning. It is forty yeas since he was in this city and he notes many changes in. the place. He has relatives in Philomath and is at present visiting there. He has been in Polk and Yamhill counties on a similar mission. Mr. Fraker is the step father of Wm. J. Fur nish republican candidate' tor gov ernor of Oregon, andjis justly proud of his step-son. He states that everywhere he finds things favora ble for the election of Mr. rurnisli and that his home county will roll up a handsome majority for the re publican candidate. The time for the registration of voters expired on the evening of May 15th. The total registration in Benton county was 1,813 against 1,955 two years ago. lhis shows a shortage of 142 and the only way to account for it is a lack of interest on the part of voters, as it is a well- known fact that there are many new-comers here who are entitled to a ballot, while but few who voted two years ago have left the county. Just exactly what the total of vote cast two years ago was is not known, but it did not vary far from 2,000. Taking this as a bases, it is safe to predict that the ballot cast this year will be in the neighbor hood of 1,900. Two years ago a good many voters resorted to blank "A," but on the other hand some who registered did not vote. An old neighbor, T. T. Vincent, is on the republican ticket in Ben ton county for recorder of convey ances. The Independent is not ad vised touching majorities in that county, but it does know that the county will make no mistake should Mr. Vincent be installed in the re corder's office. The candidate held office in this county some years ago, county superintendent of schools, and performed the duties fully and satisfactorily. The law requires official visitation of each school dis trict each year. He made two and to some places three. He urged schoolhouse repairs and ihe.y were made. High ideals were held up. They had their effect on the boys s o"T citizenship today is the better for that conscientious and pains taking superintendent. If he goes to the recorder's office in Benton county exactness and dispatch will rule as no doubt has been true heretofore. Hillsboro Independent. W. A . Sanders, Senator J. D. Saturday, from a Portland. HAS NOT BEtN EXCELLED. No Better Rendition ot the Oratorios Giv en in this City Last Week bas Ever . Been Heard on This Coast. "Ah!" This note of apprecia tion and glad surprise escaped the lips of the eager, expectant hun dreds who filled the auditorium and lined the gallery of the col lege armory last Wednesday night, when a great flood of light, resDondin2r to the touch of the electrician, beat full upon the orchestra and chorus at the mo ment when the conductor's baton was raised to signal the opesing chorus of liendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise." In the semi-darkness which prevailed while " themembers of the large audience were being conducted to their seats, the chorus and orchestra seated tier unon tier was simply a mass of humanity. But when the electric current leaped through the hun dreds of little globes arranged above the singers and musicians, it revealed a scene long to be re membered. The strong light in contrast to -the darkness of the pit brought out in strong relief the pretty gowns of the ladies, the contrasting black ..evening suits of the gentlemen, and the beautiful display of potted plants and ferns arranged as a setting. Just as the orchestra completed the opening preclude to the 'Hymn of Praise," the large chorus rose. With splendid at tack the first note ot "All men, all things" was sounded full and certain. The success of the ora torios was no longer a question. Gathering courage with each suc ceeding effort the concluding chorus, "Venations, offer to the Lord, " rolled in mighty volume from throat and instrument. Xbe UiHymn of Praise'! had been ren dered in a mannernever excelled on this coast. The "Stabat Mater," by Ros- sim, wmcn loiiowea, was aesun ed to strike with greatest favor on the public ear. The operatic character of the music, the liber al number of solos and duets, and the soulful choruses 'all con- spire to delight musicians and charm the multitude. Handel's Messiah By reason of the artistic success of Wednesday "night's perform ance, and the many familiar airs and choruses in "Messiah," the audience Thursday evening was the largest during the Festival. The excursion trains, that had been running daily during the Festival season, brought greater lists of passengers, and many in this city who could attend but one evening, waited for "Messiah." Regular attendants had formed their preferences for the soloists, and had learned to know from whom they could ex pect the best performances in the orchestra. The sirnp'.er nature of the chorus work gave the sing ers greater assurance, so that, as a -whole, the "Messiah" was probably the most finished per formance of the two oratorio ev enings. 1 The "Hallelujah" was the best rendered chorus of the Festival. Every member of the chorus threw his soul into the effort, the repeated hallelujahs pealed and echoed through the open rafters of the big armory, while the thunder ing of the kettle drums was al most deafening. During its ren dition the audience remained standing and their hearts re sponded to the glad shouts that went up from orchestra and chorus. Where all of the work of the soloists was so good, and much of it exceptionally so, any criti cism would seem captious, were it not for the fact that the efforts of these performers deserve spe cial mention. Mrs. Reed won the greatest number of admirers and her solos met with greatest favor. Her rendition of "He Was Despised" was flawless, and the audience would not be de nied an encore. No other num ber was so completely suited to the singer's voice and - tempera ment. Lack of personal magnet ism, and absence of the operatic quality ia her voice, marred and rendered less effective many of the beautiful solos which fell to her. but the deep pathos, full tftnes. and delicate shading: of this grand song moved every heart. Hef voice at one moment tender, soft and low, in the next rises to mighty tones of splendid timbre. In method, voice and style Mrs. "Rlorli-Rauer is a perfect foil to Mrs. Reed. They represent en tirelv different schools. Her ren dition of "I know that my Re deemer liveth," while possibly a trifle too dramatic, was one of the o-ems of the Festival. Her voice is full of feeling and of great pow er. But there is one fault: Alittle tremolo on the sustained tones is N admissable, but the harsh, pulsating- effect of the vibrato is not pleasing. While Mr. Jioyer's voice is wantim? in quality and : lacks warmth, iust sentiment, nice dic tion and adequate conception of each song assayed made his efforts extremely interestin Prof. I. M. Glen is well equip ped with the qualities of legitimate singing. He has a ncn, profound baritone voice of splendid range and quality, and it is under ex cellent control. He has cast his lot in the field ot literature, how ever, and is now occupying the chair of English in the University of Oregon. .His training in this direction gives him a noticable advantage in phrasing and inter pretation of the written lines. The audience was quite impar tial in the distribution of its favors, and applause and flowers were be stowed with equal generosity on soprano, alto, tenor and bass. J. 0. Wilson. T. O. Wilson, republican can didate for county clerk, is a na tive of this city, having been born in Cervallis in 1861, and here he has lived ever since. He is probably as well, and certainly as favorably, known as any man in the county. As a boy he ob tained the ordinary education giv en in the public schools. He also attended one or two winters at the Agricultural College, de voting his time in the summer to working on the Yaquina railroad with a team furnished by his father. This work he performed without pay. "Others also do nated work, some free, some for pay, but ne penormea tnis worK uncomplainingly, as a duty. After leaving school he entered the employ of Charley Logsdon in Blodgelt Valley, and worked on the farm for a number of months to the great satisfaction of Mr. Logsdon, only leaving that job to take charge of a large latm in the valley which he con ducted successfully for something like a year. Out of his earnings up to this time, he had saved enough money to Carry mm through a business course at the Portland Business College, where he went the following winter and took the entire business course taught by Prof. Arm strong, leaving that school with the best of recomme'ndatiojs, and a diploma. Upon his return to Corvallis from the Business College, Mr. Wilson -went to work for his father; 'Ahe late B. W. Wilson, who was then coun ty clerk, in the clerk's office, where he served as deputy for four years, . learning thoroughly all the details of that office, and proving himself a most painstak ing, efficient and reliable deputy clerk. - 1 - While in the clerk's office Mr. Wilson had a number of good of fers of employment in other bus iness, but'he felt it a duty to re main with his father in the of fice, and where he was needed owintf to the laree volume of business then passing through that office. It is but proper to call atten tion to the- fact that the county clerk's office in those days transacted the official business of a county more tnan twice the size of the Benton coun ty of today, and also contained the records of deeds and mort gages now kept in the county re corder's office, in otne woras, the 4Uerk's,"office before the di vision of this county performed practically the same worK now transacted by a county clerk in Lincoln county and a deputy, a clerk and deputy in Benton coun ty, and a county recorder in Ben ton county. In 18S6, Mr. Wilson was of fered the position of bookkeeper in the bank of Hamilton, Job & Co., which he accepted. He served in this position for seven years.! t For the past several years Mr. Wilson has had charge ot tne farm belonging to his wife, and demonstrated that sound busi ness methods and untiring indus try will make a success of farm- ine as wen as 01 uiuei nuca w business. He is regarded through- .1 r out the county today as one 01 its successful farmers and stock raisers. . ; There is not a better qualified, more conscientious, painstaking, nKIimno- man for the office of county clerk in the state 01 Ore gon, than Off Wilson. There is ..... -i, 1 & e - . . - . , no doubt but that ne win oe elected by a handsome majority. Card of Thanks.
