containing a compact history of the
"city of destiny" from the time that
Eugene Skinner settled there in 1846

embellished with many well-print-ee

The 4 Georges.
It may strike you that "The 4
Georges" is a rather unusual name
for a showy and it is. -JThe name
has nothing to do, however, with;
the bill for Wednesday night.;-It
is merely the name adopted 'by
the Company and not thename
of a play, as some might be led
to believe. This is their fourth
season on the road a nd the name
is familiar to - theater goers
throughout the United states.
"The 4 Georges" have been
playing across the continent this
season to crowded houses, and,
judging from their press notices,
the company is giving the best of
satisfaction. '.They appear at the
Coryallis Opera House "next Wed-1
nesday night May. nth. , .
ABOUT THE 4 GEORGES.
The Curtis was crowded at
both the alter noon and evening
performances. ' No possible op
portunity for laughter seems, to

The 4 Georges are a success.
They are good comedians and
their specialties are above the
average. . Marion George is an
artist of rare ability, her tech
nique is perfect. And "Kath
arine" gave, the best performance
of its kind ever seen here. St.
Louis Republic.
.The 4. Georges won't make
everybody laugh, such a thing
wouldn't, be possible; they will,
however, make all the born pes
simists happy and that is going
some. Salt Lake Lake . Herald.
The 4 Georges company is ex
ceptionally, good. There were
two specialties alone well worth
tne price of admission. A violin
solo, which , was four times en
cored, rendered by Miss Marion
George, and a contortion specialty
by her sister, which was one of
the most remarkable exhibitions
of its . kind ever seen on. tlje

.County Court Session.
The county court met in regu
lar session Wednesday afternoon.
Most of the afternoon was occu
pied in considering bills. '
Action was taken to remuner
ate Mrs. Huggins for keeping the
county poof.
Action was also taken in re
gard to the dispute concerning
school Dist. No. 9. It was decided
by the action of . the court and a
former superintendent that the
compaining parties on the west
rightfully belong " within the
aforesaid district.
A motion is also under contem
plation, but not fully decided at
the time of this writing, to erect
a suitable monument over the
grave of James Dunn. It was
argued that such bravery as was
shown by Mr. Dunn should re
ceive substantial public recogni
tion and in such a way that the
city, county, and the orders to
which he belonged might, con
tribute a share of the expense.
The monument will probably
cost $100.

- temperance People's Rally.
The temperance people of the
city 'and vicinity .met- at the
Court House Tuesday night and
opeped the popular campaign for
local option. . Therev were about
5ori present. , ' President E.
Emerick 7 of Philomath College;
acted as ' chairman. The Philo
math Male Quartet rendered sev
eral well-received campaign selec:
tions. . Rev. Dr. Tufts, president
of the Oregon Anti-Saloon League
was the principal speaker. -- His
address was a fair and unbiased
presentation of the local option
proposition, '-.upon which the peb-
plewill vote at the coming elec
tion. . This local option is not of
itself prohibition for it" will not
necessarily close a single saloon.
It is simply a means of determin
ing by popular vote whether or
riot liquor shall be . sold in cer
tain localities. As it now stands
they cannot do this in this state."
It is called local option because
each locality will settle the mat
ter of its own free will arid choice.
Neither is it a partisan bill, for
prominent men irrespective of
party heartily endorse the meas
ure. If it becomes a law it will
not close a single saloon where
the majority favor them. Thirty-
five states of the nation already
have this - law and find it ex
ceedingly - useful in cases of
emergency. : There is.no con
cealing the fact, however, that
the primary object of this move
ment is to drive out the saloon.
But in view of recent occurrences
in our city there is little doubt in
the minds of most citizens that
the city would be-greatly bene
fitted if every saloon were closed.
