The democrats of Benton county will hold no primaries or county convention to name delegates to the congressional convention at Albany. The possibility of sending a demo crat from this district to congress is so slender that the local brethren thought it advisable to dispense with the labor and expense of hold primaries and convention, and the central committee, which held a meeting in Corvallis, Friday, merely went through the formality of naming the following delegation to the congressional convention. Adam Wilhelm, Monroe; Joseph Smith, Soap Creek; Abner Woods, Blodgett; S. L, Henderson and B. F. Irvine, Corvallis.

Good progress is being ' made in the construction of the flume from theBenton County Lumber Co's mills to Philomath. George Irvine, who is employed on this work, was in Cervallis, Saturday. He says that the flume is completed for a distance of two and one half miles from the mill.

I It behooves sellers of abutter to be sure this article is up to the requir ed standard of weight specified by law. A strong ' crusade against short weight butter has been com menced by State Food and Dairy Commissioner ' Bailey and his deputy, Hermann Tartar. , . Deputy Tartar has already discovered some creameries that are violating the pure food laws in various ways. Early this week an order will be made for chemical apparatus so that analytical .tests of dairy and food products may be made in Port land instead of sending" specimens to the agricultural college. The body of George Martin, who died at Brownsville last Friday of typhoid fever, was brought to Cor vallis, Saturday, and interred in the family lot at Locke cemetery Barney,, brother of the deceased, and other members of the family accompanied the body to its last resting place. 'George Martin was "25 years of age at the time of his death. He was exceptionally bright, and would have entered upon the practice of law next June, had he lived. v About a month ago he was stneked with typhoid fever. The most skilled physicians in the state were- summoned, but their efforts to conquer the dread disease were unavailing. : " The Horses Stampeded. John Scott is confined to his bed as the result of injuries re ceived Friday morning while as sisting to place a-number of horses on the- boat at the O; R. & N. dock. There were seven head ol these animals -and they were being shipped to Henry Bailey at Port Towniend. Jesse Wiley, Austin kafferty," John Scott and one or two others had the horses in charge, and as the animals Were all young and easily srJared) the pilot of the boat was requested not to blow the whistle until they were all safely on boartL This he prom. ised to do. Mr. Scott was hold ing five of the horses and had Must driven them to the gang plank when tee pilot blew the' whistle. Instantly there was a self under the feet of the equities. Eye-witnesses say they are sur prised that he escaped with his life. Austin Lafferty made for the gate which closes the ap proach to the dock, and with he assistance of others succeeded in holding all the horses but two. One of these, the Hayes horse, was captured in time to ship him Friday morning, but it was nec essary to blindfold him in order to get him near the boat. . The other animal was shipped on Sat urday's boat. Mr. Scott was able to walk home, but he was so badly bruis ed that he has since been con fined to his room. The pilot had no excuse to offer for blow ing the whistle, and that serious injury; did not result from his stu pidity is something that he and the company that employs him have to be thankful for. Still Under Consideration. The case of Graves vs. Osburn has been reopened. A decision, first known in this community by readers of the Gazette, was handed jlown by Judge Hamilton the 25th of last month, sustain ing the demurrer of the defen dant entered at the November term of circuit court. But Mr. Graves' attorney ap-L. peared before the recent term of I circuit court with additional tes timony favorable to his client, which Judge Hamilton admitted and gave defendant 30 days to reply. The matter will be beard during the July term of - cireuit court fpr Lincoln county.1 ; .. When Mr. Qsburn went; into bankruptcy under the , laws re lating thereto, he scheduled all of his property, consisting of his farm, stock and his residence in Corvallis and turned the same over to J. O. Wilson, trustee, claiming his home in Corvallis as exempt from execution. The trustee turned this property over to Mr. Osburn, and his action was approved by the IT. S. dis trict court. In the year 1893, the laws of Oregon, were amended - so that exemptions from execution by the debtor were extended so that he might claim his home up to the value of $1,500. Mr. Groves, however,.held several notes which had become due before 1893, and he undertook to subiect this home to "the payment of; these notes. Judge Hamilton always held against Groves in the prem ises; . " . This case has been prominent in 11 tne sessions ot the state court for two or three years. Attorneys W. S. McFadden and E E. ' Wilson represent Mr. Groves, and the firm of Yates & Tates have charge of Mr. Os burn' s interests. Some Promising Pianists. The piano recital given in the college chapel, Saturday evening, bv the pupils of the school of music, gave evidence of a de cided improvement in the work of that department since . Mr. Goodnough assumed direction. There was not a dull or uninter esting effort during the evening, and several of the numbers were rendered with surprising skill and expression. . . There was abundant evidence, also that these recitals are growing in popularity, lor every available seat in the large chapel was oectt pied when the members of the class entered and took their places on the platform. Every one of the twelve instrumental numbers was liberally applauded and the closest attention was given every 'performer. The vocal-selections by Mr. Herse were especially pleasing and he responded to per sistent encores. Space will not permit of men tion of individual efforts. There was much to commend. One ming especially noticeaoie, was the indh iduality displayed in the rendition of every number. The mechanical dullness, seldom ab sent in the performances of be ginners, was happily not in evi dence, and any criticism must rate interpretation high. No disparagement ot the efforts of any is intended, when a spe cial word is said in commenda tion of the playing of Mr, White Miss Ranney and Mr. Murray Mr. White's number was worthy a place on any program, tne con eluding ; movement, "Gavotte Pastorale," was ' rendered with splendid taste and expression The duet, "The Dragon Fight er," played by Miss Ranney and Mr. Goodnough, was probably the most popular number of the evening. Water System Again Up. A letter recently received by one of the city officials from En gineer Smythe, of Portland, has opened up the. question of Cor vallis' water supply again. In this letter Mr. Smythe said that he was now in a position to settle the matter of supplying Corvallis with a new water system In short order, whenever the consel was ready to proceed in a business like manner. This . is rather amusing, when it is considered that Mr. Smythe has been the one to act in a dilatory and un satisfactory fashion. The special water committee of the council held a meeting last week to get the matter in tangible shape. .: After much dis cussion, a subAcommittee, con sisting of Chairman Henkle, Councilmen Heckart and Chief Engineer Sheasgreen, of the fire department, was appointed to draw up such a franchise as in their opinion will describe as nearly as possible such a water" system as will meet the require ments of the city. This . fran chise will be submitted to the special committee appointed by the council. After this body has approved the proposed franchise it will go to the-council. Here it will again be considered, and, if the fathers-; so decide, bids will be advertised for from par . .
