TO STOP DEVILMENT.
Trouble is Brewing in Blodgetts
Valley Over Cutting Bridges.
his
the
CouHty officials just now have
their hands full in attempting to
straighten out a tangeled mass of
affairs in Blodgett's Valley. For
some time the residents oi that
ordinarily quiet part of the
county have been up in arms
against some unknown person or
persons who seem to have deter
mined to destroy all the bridges
along a certain portion of the
county road.
A short time ago, while Mr.
Gellatly was moving a threshing
machine from one ot his farms
to another' he had occasion to
follow a portion of the road in
question. The first small bridge
or culvert he crossed broke down
as he was passing over it, and it
was with considerable difficulty
that he extricated his machine.
The next bridge he came to was
a much larger affair, spanning a
small ravine, and he concluded
to examine it before crossing.
He found that the supports to
the bridge had been sawed almost
entirely in two so that it was
ju3t hanging ready to collapse at
the first strain it received, and
had he attempted to cross
thresher would have been
molished and himself and
team crippled or killed:
Later investigations by
aroused- neighborhood disclosed
the fact that every crossing along
this road had been similarly tam
pered with. The bridges were
repaired and the affair reported
to the county officials. Since
then the same bridges have been
again destroyed and numer
ous logs and timbers from the ad-
joining forests have Deen piled
up along the road, rendering it
completely impassable.
Some of the colleges of the
country have placed a ban on the
deadly cigarette. In this they
have elevated the standard oi
education in their schools. The
incessant cigarette fiend becomes
shy on brain development and no
educational institution can do it
self justice in trying to convert a
cigarette-soaked brain into a fer
tile field of mentality or intel
lectuality or fit and qualify such
for achievements that will reflect
honor and distinction upon the
school that turns loose such a
product upon an unsuspecting
world.- Eugene Register.

Womans Relief Corps.
One of the most enjoyable par
ties 01 the season came off at
Odd ;- Fellows' Hall on Friday
evening 01 last week. The oc
casion was a basket party given
by the ladies of the Relief Corps
for the benefit of the relief fund.
A musical and literary program
was . first given. Thi consisted
of a short address by W. E. YatesJ
singing by the Grand Army
Choir, and a capital reading by
Daisy Rose. The feature of the
evening was the auctioneering of
the baskets by W.' E. Yates.
Twenty-four dollars was realized
by the sale. ' Then came the de
pleting ot the baskets, at which
all hands assisted. After the
supper was over the young folks
enjoyed games and dancing till a
late hour. The success of the
entertainment is due to the splen
did executive ability of Mrs.
Thorp and Mrs. Rose, and the
able assistance rendered by Mes
dames Chipman, Oren, Young,
Henkle, Kerker, Kyle, Hubler
and Kerr. The occasion will
long be remembered.
Wm. Fabsr is Dead.
William Faber, president of
the Albany Brewing Company,
and a well-known resident of Al
bany for several years, died at
the North Pacific hospital in" Port
land Thursday morning from
the effects of an operation.
For several years he had been
affected with cancer of the stom
ach and had been gradually
growing weaker until an operation
became necessary.
Wm Faber was born in Wur
tenberg, Germany, in r8.7, and
came to the United States nearly
thirty years ago. He resided in
the .East for awhile and then went
into the mines oi Nevada, com
ing to Albany in 1882, where he
engaged in the brewing business.
He was president of the Albany
Brewing Company for several
years, having been re-elected to
that position only a few days ago.
He was also president of the
North Fairview Mining Com
pany, and was a stockholder in a
number of prominent institutions ,
including the Albany Electric
Light and Water Works Com
pany. He was a member of Al
bany Lodge, B. P. O. Elks. A
little over a year ago Mr. Faber
moved to Portland, where he had
since resided. ' He leaves a wife.
Killed By Seattle Street Car
W. H. Hartless, formerly of
Corvallis, was run down by a
Kinnear Park .car in Seattle
Thursday night, receiving injur
ies from which he died Friday at
2:30 a. m. His left leg was all
but torn off below the knee, and
hatl to be amputated as soon as
he arrived at the Seattle General
Hospital.
In company with his friend, C.
W. Lockwood, he was walking
up 2 First Avenue. When near
Battery street Lockwood left him,
and Hartless started to cross the
avenue. He was in front of a
south-bound Cedar-street car and
the conductor rang the bell
Hartless says he jumped to one
side, landing directly in front of
a north-bound Kinnear Park car.
He was thrown to the ground
and the wheels passed over both
his legs, dragging him along the
ground for a short distance.
The remains of Mr. Hartless
arrived in Corvallis vesterday and
the funeral was held at the fam
ily home yesterday at 1 o'clock,
Rev. A Carrick conducting the
services. The United Artisans,
in which the deceased carried
$2,000 insurance, had charge of
the funeral ceremony.
The Erickson gambling-house
has paid back the money, $165 to
Mrs. Fischbank, which her has
band lost in playing twenty-one
at their tables. This ends the
case for these parties, but it has
taught the public a lesson which
we trust will be heeded.

Willamette Defeats Corvallis.
Willamette University,
Salem, Or., Jan. 22. The var
sity basket-ball team defeated the
team of the Oregon Agricultural
College in Willamette gymna
sium, by a score of 14 to 12.
The game was one of the fastest
and most interesting ever seen in
this city and the enthusiasts are
fairly wild over the victory of the
home team.
Corvallis led off with a basket
at the end of two minutes' play
ing, and- so gained several points.
Willamette seemed unable to find
the basket, although the ball was
in their possession most of the
time, and they had many more
shots than the visitors.
Just before the half closed
Willamette University gained
three points, making the score 3
to 7 against them. Time was
not taken out in this half. In
the second half Willamette out
classed their opponents, gaining
11 points to their 5.
