Temporary Injunction Granted. The sale of the Coe lands for taxes, advertised to be made by the sheriff yesterday, did not oc cur. The possibility of a post ponement was set forth in the Gazette last week. Suit to enjoin the sherifl from making this sale was brought last week, and the papers in the case were sent to Judge Hamil ton at Roseburg. An order re straining the sheriff from selling Or attempting to sell any portion of the property advertised until further order of the. court, was issued by Judge Hamilton, and therefore there was no sale.

WM B MBfOiUSLLV The Dedication ot the New &cricaltafal Hall Will fee a Notable Event. One of the. most important events in the history of the Ore gon Agricultural College and the city of Corvallis is scheduled to take place on the 15th of. next October.' V It is the dedication of the Agricultural Hall that is now practically completed. The board of regents of the O A C consider ed the advisability of making a demonstration on tbe occasion of laying the corner stone of the building, but. concluded, on ac count of the inclemency of the weather at that season of the yeaf. to pospone the event until the completion of the edifice and make its dedication memorable. ' T'he committee have . sent special invitations to President Roosevelt and Secretary Wilson, and many prominent agricultur ists throughout the East. - All members of the Oregon State Legislature have been invited to attend, and. man v prominent men from all over the state will be invited. There will be ad dresses by noted speakers. The best music that it , is possible to obtain will be secured for this oc- casion, m iaevnotning mat win tend to make the occasion mem orable will be overlooked or slighted in the least degree. Ample provision will be made to feed the immense crowd that will be here on this occasion, and this means a great deal, for Cor vallis ladies are famed for the choice edibles they prepare. This will be a most opportune time to hold such a function. The college will be in session and ' everything about it will show to advantage. The farm and its1 stock, the various me chanical devices for experiment al work, and other - leatures too numerous to mention will assist in making a visit to this institu tion at this time one of . particu lar interest. The particular ob ject ot - making the dedication notable by a grand celebration is to attract the attention of the farmers to this great and growing college of agriculture, and " it is sincerely hoped that they will at tend in large numbers. Anyone desiring an invitation may se cure one by applying to the committee. But do not stand back for lack of an invitation you will be just . as welcome and just as well treated on your ar rival, invitation or no invitation. It is expected that there will 'be fully 2,000 people in Corvallis on this occasion and the commit tee on arrangements will be gov erned accordingly. The ,matter of railroad fare has received spec ial attention. The Southern Par cific R. R; Co. have granted halt fare rates both going and coming. It is the intention of this compa ny to attach an unusually large number of coaches to their train which leaves . Portland at 7:30 a. m. on the morning of October 15th to come over the West Side to Corvallis. This will be the regular train, but the extra coaches will be left in Corvallis on the departure of the regular train at 1 120 p. m. At 5 p. m. of this day it is arranged to have them taken to Portland by an engine specially detailed for this trip, making it practically an excursion train. On account f the O. R. & N. Co. not touching Corvallis with any of its lines it will be neces sary for those who desire to come over their lines to secure invita tions. As before mentioned, in vitations will be granted for the asking. The O. R. & N. Co. will grant half fare on this occa sion and only stipulates that all who desire to attend the dedica tion of the new Agricultural Hall secure invitations in order to protect itself so far as possible from being" imposed upon by parties who might secure trans portation for a certain distance on half fair. The C. & E. will run special trains from Albany to Corvallis on this occasion to accommodate all who may travel over the East Side lines of the Southern Pa cific. This will be a grand affair be yond question. Our people should co-operate with the board of regents and the committee on arrangements in every way pos sible. It will advertise the col lege and open the eyes of all who may. attend' to the magnitude and importance of this great in stitution. What is of benefit for the Oregon Agricultural College cannot help being cf benefit to Corvallis. Let us see what we can do to assist on this occasion. Married in Portland. .

The following comment is from the Portland Oregonian f Feb. 28, 1899: "The chief interest of the Philharmonic recital last night at Auditorium Hall cen tered in the debut of Miss Susie Fennell, who, though only a school girl in years, displayed unmistakable talent as a vio liniste, showing delicacy of tone, skill of technique and much temperamental fire. In the opening"-number one could only guess at her talent; but in the well- known Wieniawski polonaise, the audi ence was no longer left in doubt .- This was given with mach powersand grace for one so young and quite" carried'the audience by storm.' - She3 wsr applauded most vigorously, and was bblig'ed to re turn for flowers, the audience refusing to keep quiet till she gave an encore; ". This was so prettily given' that it brought an other recall, to which, however, the" young lady did not respond." Miss C. L. Huggins, of Portland, who is assisting Mrs. Pipes in her concerts, is a native of Scotland, and received her musical education in the, old country modtly in Brussels, Berlin and Paris, where, for more than ten years, she had the .best instruction obtainable, under such men as Mehul, Schott and La Porte.
