ALSEA PARENTS' MEETING.
L- '
Aa Appreciative Corvalllslto Attended
j . and EJoyd JUee Hospitality.
Editor Gazette received an invi
tation from Sup't Denman to accompany
him on a school and parents meeting
trip to Bellfountaia. and Alsea. Never
having been in the southern end of the
county or in the Alsea country I was not
long in making np my mind to accept
the invitation. Leaving here last Thurs
day eve we spent the night at the hospi
table home of Lewis Edwards on hit
beaatUal farm some two and a half miles
south of the village of Bellfonntaln.
The rolling Und and beautiful fsrmi la
this vicinity mttU it m one of the most
picturesque pots In the state. Friday
being the closing day of the school in
that district we gave the forenoon to the
class room and listened to a fine pro
gram in the afternoon from the puplU;
The school is in fine shape and from
what we saw and heard, no argument
was necessary, to convince us that the
teachers understood their work aad did it.
Miss Fosbay, of Albany, has charge of
the school assisted by Miss Reader of the
vicinity A good healthy feeling per-!
vades the atmosphere between teachers,
pupi.8 and patror.
Leaving Bellfountain in the evening,
we drove ten miles over the monntains
(and snch a drive and such a road) to the
mountain home of R. G. Mires, where
we lodged and feasted.
Saturday mas to be the day of our trip
that parents meeting was the burden
of the superintendent's song; so bright
and early we were off for the Alsea val
ley for the parents meeting arranged for
by the Grange, which held a short' ses
sion in the morning. At n o'clock the
hall was closed and., the ladies took
charge, and the changed appearance and
siht presented to us at noon, proved
that they were fit for the occasion. I
have seen all kinds of public spreads,
large and small, but for delicacy and
quality do not think that I have ever
seen this one. equaled, certainly not sur
passed. After some three hundred hun
gry men,' women and children had more
thansatistied themselves at the table,
there remained not only enough to fill
the twelve : historical -baskets with frag
ments, but enough to feed a band of In
dians. - , ; '
At 1 o'clock the meeting was called to
order by Sup't Denman who had charge.
The house was packed and Jammed and
then not all ia attendance could be cared
for. . After the singing of songs, in which
all joined, the program proper was taken
up. Opening with papers on the duty ef
teachers, by three of the teachers in the
valley, D. W. Jones. O. G. Springer and
our own Ethel Kyle who is now filling a
short engagement there. ' Then followed
addresses by the school patrons of the
valley, hitting the schools from all points
of the compass, coverinjr all the ground
Many of these talks gave evidence of
reading, and thought. " They were all
good but some of them were better
The programme was " interspersed by
singing, recitations and dialogues from
the schools represented. Recitations
by Leona JVren, Myrtle; Hujrden Ruth,
Hayden, Ethel Cathcart, Lizzie Ham
merely, and Lillie Stralcey. A concert
re -itation by pupils from Dist. 41, also a
dialogue from the same schools and a
beautiful duett well rendered by Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Ban ton.
It was a good meeting largely attended,
in which much interest was manifested j
and will - he the means of doing much
good for the schools in that valley, set-
ting before the parents, teachers and pu
pils their duties ia a such a way that it
comes right into their own homes. The
meeting was a grand success, and the
honor all goes to the valley as they did
all the work. ; - . -
I was touch pleased w ith this my first
trip into the valley and royally enter
tained. They have a bright and intelli.
gent" community, and although almost
shut out from the world for a part of the
year, are well abreast of the times on all
the interesting subjects of the day
a thrifty people, for when I looked over
the audience in that halUand saw. the
large number of children, I thought if
President Roosevelt would come in there
he would make the -grandest speech of
bis life, and go away fully satisfied that
the human race was not suicidal in Alsea
valley. , :- ' V
It is a beautiful little valley, aad yen
enjoy it more after the struggle you make
to get close enough to see it from the
mountain top. f - J. W. C.
No Nearer a Solution.
Last .Monday night was the
time set for opening . bids in an
swer Jto the council s ad vertise
ment for proposals for the estab
lishment . of a water system for
the city of Corvallis. But one
offer was submitted to the fath
ers, and they took no action other
than to refer the whole matter to
the special water committee.
The bid submitted was from
the . Corvallis Water Co., and it
was presented verbally by En
gineer W. B. Chase. It provil
ed for a supply of water from the
Willamette river, and assurances
were given the council that the
company would install a moun
tain water system as soon as the
revenues would ' justify. Mr.
Chase figured that it would cost
$98,000 to put in a mountain,
water system, and a revenue f
$13,000 per year would be neces
sary to justify its construction.
The inducement in the bid of
fered by the local company was
the excellent "protection ! it pro--vided
against fire. Mr. Chase
declared it afforded ' as good , fire
protection as Portland's system.
He presented a map of trie pro
posed system, which proyides for
six and - eight inch - mains. . It
will cost the company $20,000,
but it will be put in if the city
will agree to take 27 hjdrants at
$36 per year for 25 years.
A letter from C C. "Hogue was
read to tlie 'council,- stating that
a mountain water system was too
costly for Corvallis at present.
The capitalists he represented
would not invest unless assured,
of 6 per cent interest. Kven a
Willamette tiver system would
not provide a revenue of 6 per
cent on the money invested and
for this reason Mr. Hogue made
no offer whatever '
Hops Itt Poor Condition.
Additional reports continue to
come in of the poor condition of
hop yards in the valley, and there
seems to be no prospect of any
thiag like a satisfactory crop,
says the Salem Statesman.
J. R. Lyinn and Julius Pincus
yesterday visited a number of
yards in the south, end of the
county, and in the vicinity of
Independence, and last" night re
ported them as in a much worse
condition than they : had real ized
or expected. They say it is sur
prising the number of missing
bills they found,' and in many of
the yards the vines are puny and
spindling, shdwing slow growth.
The - Woodburn Independent
says: H. T."5-Hayes, who has
visited several of the hop yards
in the WoodbUrn section during
the past week, ' reports the new
yards in good condition, but says
the old yards are not up to the
standard and growers are dis
couraged. A. Crosby reports a
black worm, which eats into and
kills the hop root. This is the
first year this "worm has visited
any of the yards. ;
A contract for the sale of 46,
000 of the 1903 crop at .15 cents
per pound was yesterday filed in
the Marion county ; recorder's of
fice, the transfer 4 was from Me
Kinley Mitchell," of Portland, to
E. Goldman & Co., Chicago, for
hops of average, choice quality,
to be delivered, irf the warehouses
at Gervais ; and Jefferson. The
hops are-to be raised, 25,000
on the J. B. Barnes' yard near j
Gervais, and 15,000 pounds to be !
raised on Meitinley Mitchell's
yard near Albany:-v r

THE CITY ELECTION.
Wide-Awafce, Progessive, Liberal-Minded
Men Should fee Selected to Serve as
Conncllmea.
A mayor and fi ve council men
are to be chosen at the city elec
tion to be held next Monday. It
is strange how little attention is
given to the selection of the men
who control the city's welfare.
j There are always active candi
dates for other positions in the
gift of citizens of the municipal
ity, but no one seems anxious or
even willing to serve ia the high
ly important office of council
man. It is necessary that all
officers shall be capable and effi
cient, but without' active, ener
getic level-headed men in the
council chamber there is no po
tency in the city government.
It is not enough that the city
fathers meet once each month
and transact the formal routine of
business that comes before them,
but they should have policies
looking to the betterment of con
ditions within the city and be
awake in taking advantage of
whatever promises to contribute
to the community's" social or ma
terial welfare. -
In Monday's election men
should be selected to fill vacan
cies in the council who are pro
gressive and liberal in their views
and beliefs.
The retiring mayor and coun
cilmen have all been faithful in
the performance of their duty.
Voters in wards 1, 2 and 3
should select the very best men
avilable to succeed Messrs. Avery,
Allen, Heckart, Underwood and
Wilkanks whose places in the
council are to be filled at Mon
day's election. And no man
who is eligible should refuse the
nomination if tendered him.
The duties of a councilman are
arduous and at times vexatious,
but they are duties which no
man should -cshirk. Whether
Corvallis is to grow and prosper
depends largely upon the the re:
suit of the coming city election.
Circle Candidate Leads.
Miss Mae Gibson 394
Miss Bertha Ueokle. v 294
Miss Inez Williams 184
Miss Bessie Dilley. 179
Miss Clara Lane... -157
Miss Mabel Davis....... 100

From the above vote it will be
seen - that the candidate of the
Circle is still in the lead, with
the-X)egree of Honor a close sec
ond, and Miss Williams coming
in with a good vote for third place.
There will be only a couple of
weeks for the contest to decide
who will be the Queen, and it is
expected that the last few days
will see lively voting by the ad
herents of the several candidates.
