TUESDAY'S AND FRIDAYS,
O. A. DEAREf G, ED. AND BUS. MGR.
The story of the shooting aftray
in this city Sunday morning is
told in our news columns. The
universal verdict of the people is:
"Just what we expected.". The
outcome of this affair is but the
logical result of the former ac
tions of the same young man,
and the course pursued by the
authorities in . former escapades.
Not one person in a hundred in
the community but knew instinc
tively what the result would be,
yet he had been petted and coax
ed by those who should have re
strained him, and openly ap
plauded and encouraged by others.
One of the prominent lawyers
of the city pronounced a eulogy
on his courage and daring, lor
breaking the law, and he was
held up before the youth of the
city, as an exampie of the kind
of men to make soldiers of.
The city has been infested by
a number ot young hoodlums who
have held the citizens in terror
long enough. It is time that
proper steps were taken to put a
stop to it, before 'more crimes are
committed, and more of the youth
of our city corrupted.
How much longer is the city
going to let these rowdies imperil
the lives of respectable citizens,
by allowimg them to remain free
to do as they please. There are
times in the life of a community
when Lynch law almost seems to
be justifiable. It becomes the
duty of good citizens to so shape
events that such a course will not
be necessary. Firmness in the
enforcement of 'law is absolutely
essential, as much for the good
of the would-be criminals as tor
the community. If. our officers
will not do their plain duty we
should have others that will.
Corvallis is a quiet, law-abiding
community, and such episodes
as this casts a shadow on its good
name that will be hard to remove.
The time for moralizing is past
the time for action has arrived.
What are you going to do about
it?
"Queen Esther" Cantata.
The Cantata "Queen Esther" giv
en under the auspicies of the Ath
letic Association last Friday and
Saturday nights proved a grand
success. Many who attended the
first Light went again the following
evening. Both nights were greeted
with large houses. The synopsis
published in a recent issue of the
Gazette was well carried out by
the participants. Corvallis has
many excellent singers as Was evi
denced by these performances. Mrs,
E. F. Pernot, Bert Johnson, Miss
Lulu Spangler, John Allen, Miss
Mabel Cronise and Mrs. E. R. Lake
deserve special mention. The chor
uses were all well acted and showed
fine musical ability. The drills
were all well received by the audi
ence, especially the drill by the
Queen's guard.
The production of this sacred
cantata as a whole was an under
taking that reflects credit upon the
musical director and costumer, A.
H. Newton, who afforded Corvallis
such a treat by the production of
this beautiful cantata.

- I do not now feel blue and sad,
I laugh and talk and take my ease; .
, I come and go just as I please.
I teU you what I sold my home
When I listed it with White & Stone. " -
I was feeling very blue and sad, "
Hy wife she made me almost mad ;
' She did not want on the farm to stay,
- She wanted to seU it and move away,
Sol listed! t for more than a year
And still found myself right here. '
The agents took my -place in hand
They were so sure they could sell the land..
I sometimes think they did not try -For
they never brought a man to buy,
, They gave me a wink with a knowing smile
And tried to fool me all thehile.
With that knowing smile and wink
They could not fool me.tdon't you chink.
I saw they would t ot sell my home i
So I listed it with White & Stone,
i'ou bet, I fouud them just aud true;
They will do your work all right for yon.
They will always help you if they can.
They deal with you as man with man.
They'ie always ready with good advice.
And are not afraid to advertise.
So, if you would buy or sell u home

NEW PIANOS!!
$50.00 '.TO $75.00
cheaper than you can buy them in Portland:
or of Portland agents. We claim to sell in
struments of ihesame quality S"0 to 75 cheaper
than any other pgents within 500 miles. This
may beem like a bola statement, but we are
prepared to back it up with incontrovertible
evidence, if given a chance.
ARGUMENT.
All large dealers, like the Portland firms,
have enormous expenses that we do not have
in the way of immense rent, electric light,
clerk hire, freight, dravage and numerous
other bills. Especially is this true of their
agents who cart their pianos around from
town to town, creating bills which you have to
share if you buy of them. Large" firms save
about 810 on n'piauo bv buying in large carload
lots Do you think that makes up for the'
above expenses? We are in a position to sell
cheaper than any large firms and the way our
customers7 are i creasing gives evidence that
people are finding it out. Beware of spec
ial sales, piano clubs and the like.
No arm can ieil goods at wholesale prices to
the retail trade and no firm does. We
always make a profit ou our pianos aud never
give a'uyone a special price,, or sell to you for
less than your neighbor, as we have but oue
price the year around. There is not another
dealer iu tne Pacific Northwest, to our knowl
edge, which has strictly oue price on each
piano from which they ever never deviate.
At least have a talk with
M. A. GOODIMOUGH
before purchasing and see what he has to ofler.
Our S250 piano is a thoroughly good instru
ment, of beautiful tone, action, finish and
workmanship and one which would cost else
where $300 so $325. We have several new styles
coming. Second hand pianos also for sale.
