From two e'ciocK tin sis hall was fillled with people com ine and coins. Three tables were spread with dainties, and presided over by the ladies of the committee, ana dainty maiaens assisted in serving the guests One table served coffee, another tea, and the other cocoa. wasn't a question witn tne gen tlemen visitors of which they liked best, but of which would they , take first, for they treated the ladies with absolute impar tiality, a patronized them all. The hall was artistically deco rated with festoons of evergreen wound with red ribbon, and pretty bows of red in the center. Following the afternoon recep tion, which was an acknowledged artistic success, came a dancing party in the evening. The young people's orchestra furnished excellent music, while Professor Kent did the calling for the quadnlles which added a pleasing variation to the program. Dancing commenced at nine o'clock and was kept up till mid night, when the party broke up, everybody well pleased with the success of the opening society event of 1004. The Coffee Club was organized in 1881, primarily with the idea of serving coffee to the Firemen, after a fire, in the hope of keep ing them from going to the saloon, for refreshment. It is pleasure to the club to state that the plan proved a success. From a temperance it soon de veloped into a social organiza tion, but kept up its good work in the active duties for which it was established. About three years ago a libra ry, now consisting 01 300 vol umes, was added to the attrac tions. A librarian is employed, who keeps the rooms open every Monday afternoon. The books are free to all Firemen, as well as to all members of the club. About six years ago the club commenced giving the New Year receptions that have become such a popular feature of the organiza tion. They are largely attended and have become the social event of the year. The regular meetings of the club are held on the last Monday afternoon of each month. The present officers, are Mrs. Mattie Huston, president; Mrs. A. L Knisely, vice president; Mrs. F. L Miller, secretary; Mrs. W. P. Lafferty, treasurer; Mrs. Ed. Andrews, assistant sec retary. Among the past presi dents are Mrs. Rose Wilson, Mrs. Rose Selling, Mrs. M. E. Lee, Mrs. Ralph Davisson, Mrs. Ida Callahan and Miss Sarah Jacobs.

The only way fer a Corvallis public to know what kind ot a theater an adver tised show will be, is to ascertain how the show pleased in other towns. The fact that a show comes all the way across tne continent, is a good recom mendation. This is true of "Are You a Mason," appearing this week at the Co lumbia in 'Frisco, and whether or not it gives satisfaction, may be judged from the following in the vg. Bulletin, San Francisco : "The Columbia Theater attracted last night all the people who like to laugh. No one of merry mood could have been dis appointed, for "Are You a Mason ?" is a thorough-going farce, whose silliness is their reason for being. A very mo- mote persou may sit through such whirls of misunderstanding, where everybody is at cross purposes, and most of the characters allow themselves to be easily deceived and led into traps, without a twitching of the muscles about tbe mouth, but the average person will find the farce inordinately amusing." The very same company that plays in 'Frisco, will play in Corvallis en the i4lh of January. Smith & Boulden have been do- ing quite an extensive business in the line of purchasing live and dressed poultry, dressed hogs and veal, since they opened in Septem ber. This has enabled our farmers to obtain the best market prices for their surplus stock, without the trouble usually attending such sales. The total amounts paid to farmers by this firm, in the three items since September is as follows. Poultry, $1,619 81; hogs, $1,720.06; veal, $466.21; total, $3,80608. This amounts to nearly a thousand dollars a month, paid by one firm. Most of the goods have ben shipped to Portland and Astoria. was an unfortunate one for Wil- iam McMahon and family on account of tbe partial burning of his residence near the C. & E. depot. While the monetary loss is not more than a few hundred dollars, tne actual damage occa sioned by the fire and water is somewhat greater. The fire originated from a de fective brick flue. It is thought that the mortar between some of the bricks had become loose and fell out, thus allowing sparks to escape. The flue runs through a small closet and this room with a bed room adjoining are the , only ones damaged by fire, the greater damage being done by water, the entire house, which is plas tered, being soaked. Although the fire was not large the house was filled with smoke, so it was difficult to locate the fire and tell what parts of the house it was in. Everything was removed from the house, even down to the car pets, and they were more or less damaged by the water anci the haste in removing them. Had not the house been plas tered the entire house would have been destroyed as the only pro tection to be had was by pump ing water tne dwelling being out of reach of the city hydrants. Mr. McMahon informs us that the household goods were not in sured, but that the house is, but cannot tell what damage will be allowed until the adjuster arrives and affirms the loss.
