The Silver King.
Tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 17,
the much heralded Ralph Henry
stock company will appear in
"The Silver King" and from all
indications a large audience of
appreciative play-goers will wit
ness the performance. The story
oi the play is as follows.
The first act shows the garden
of Col. Lee, Mobile, where great
festivities are in progress in honor
of Baby Lillian, the three-year-old
daughter of Winfred Denver,
a close friend of Col. Lee, and
who is now visiting the planta
tion. Denver is a man ot mode
rate circumstances with a wife,
whose taste runs far above their
means. Previous to their marri
age, Mildred, Denver's wife, was
engaged to Mr. Darrell, a wealthy
though ne'r-do-well army officer.
Jealousy parts them, and in haste
accepts Denver as a husband.
Three uneventiul years elapse; a
child is born to them, and the
play opens on the day of her third
birthday. Every one is happy,
Mildred admires, though does not
love her husband, who in return
places her on a pedestal to be
worshiped. During the games,
the play is interrupted by the
arrival of Darrel, who claims to
be the father of the chil d. In . a
fit of anger. Denver strikes him,
and supposing him (Darrel) to be
dead, flees in haste. Darrel soon
recovers and torments Mildred
with her husband's supposed
shame and later invents a story 1
in which Denver is declared to be
dead. Mildred is only too glad to
believe this and readily consents
to go with her so-called lover. In
the meantime, Denver goes out
West, strikes a silver mine and
becomes a millionare. He returns
home, changed in appearance,
the hair that was once black as
the raven's is now snowy white,
and calloused hands tell the tale
of years. The thought of a wel
come from his wile, whom he
still believes true to her wedding
vows makes up for all the years
of suffering. But sad the awak
ing. He soon learns of his wife's'
perfidyj and then makes the vow
of ail Avenger. FfOill nOw on
he is a man but with one pur
pose! tnat f finding his faithless
wife and her lover and ending
both of their lives. He sson finds
them in a California mining
camp, where Mildred has been
installed as mistress of a com
bination saloon and hotel. In his
changed appearance. Denver is
not recognized, and makes gifts
of costly presents to his wife,
who openly confesses her shame.
Darrell, however, detects a close
resemblance in this stranger to
his mistress' husband, and plans
to have Denver murdered during
the night. Of course the fates
decree otherwise. Denver is
spared, he then makes himself
known to his wife who goes mad
and dies in a terrible delirium.
Darrell and Denver then fight a
duel with swords in which the
miner is victorious and thus he
completes his reveuge.
Through the entire play the
interest never lags and beautiful
climaxes close the end of each
act. As Winfred Denver, Ralph
Henry has opportunity to display
his acting qualities and he makes
the most of them. Miss Evans
will play the role of Mildred
Denver, and H. R. Robinson will
take the part of Darrell. The
remainder of the cast will be in
able hands, while scenically the
production will be complete in
every detail. Seats now on sale
at the usual place. Prices 25,
35 and 50 cents.

that prevailed in the departure of
Mr. and Mrs. Carrick from Cor-
vallis and said that he thought
it eminently fitting that Mr. and
Mrs. earriCK De given some
public expression of thr legard
1 -
ana esteem in wnicn tuey were
held by the membership as wel
as others. Mr. Irvine's motion
was as follows: "I move that a
vote of thanks be tendered by
tins congregation to Rev. and
Mrs. Carrick for their faithful
and never-tiring work while
among us and for their pious and
godly walk." The congregation.
was then asked to give its assent
to the motion by rising, where
upon one and all stood up.
In losing Rev. and Mrs. Car
rick Corvailis will lose a true
friend and their departure leaves
in the hearts of ail who knew
them a feeling of profound regret.
Coming to Corvailis.
On Jlast Tuesday's C. & E.
train, Walter McLeod aud Henry
Neider arrived from Elgin,
Union county, to enter College.
These two gentlemen are the first
of a large delegation of perhaps
20 or 30 who are expected from
that part of Eastern Oregon.
This will form the nucleus of an
admirable representation of Union
county in OAC. From the La
Grande paper it is learned that
Mrs. Catherine Wade ofSwm-
Imervi'le, and A. P. Davis and
C. A. Barnell, of La Grande,
will move with their families to
Corvailis by Nov. 1, for the pur
pose of patronizing the College.
This is the beginin of a gener
al movement in the part of many
from Eastern Oregon to move to
Corvailis and reside while their
young people are receiving their
education. In this way the par
ents as the children may take ad
vantage of the superior facilities
offered for self-improvement.
Many parents have expressed
themselves as being desirous to
take advantage of the agricultur
al course offered by the College.
A movement of this kind would
result in a beneficial aud lasting
good to the state.

The steam schooner Gerald C,
from Astoria, was an arrival at
Yaquina bay Jast Saturday even
ing and Sunday loaded a cargo.
The vessel took on several car
loads of flour from the Corvailis
Mills and other freight from the
Willamette Valley and the indi
cations are that the owners of the
schooner will find Yaquina a
profitable trading point. Hopes
aie entertained that a profitable
coastwise trade may be built up
and other vessels induced to make
this a stopping point. Yaquina
bay is an important point, strate
gical as well as commer
cial, and will grow in iitiDor-
tance with the develop nent of
the Pacific Coast.
There are well authenticated
reports that California capitalists
are seeking to cap ure ilie coist
trade of the southern half of Oe-
county. Cheap 'rausp ortalion to
good market- will be a long
stride tow. ids tic development
of land lying near these transpor
tation lines.
Yaquina bay now has about
25 ieet ot water at mean tide and
ought to be in more general use.
If the amount of money spitn at
the mouth of the Columbia dur
ing the last three years were
spent in permanent improve-'
ments at the entrance to Yaquina
bay. it would be sufficient to
open the harbor permanently to .'
the largest vessels. The atteu- j
tion of the federal authorities
ought to be directed once more
to ibis very important but sadiy
neglected point.

The county court of Linn
county, meeting in Albany on
Thursday last, turned down a
petition for a county road for a
peculiar reason. The petition
asked for the construction of a
county road from Detroit to
Niagara. Both towns are on the
North Santiam river, in Marion
county. The petition asks for
the road to be built on the most
accessible route. This is through
Marion county, and as the Linn
county court has no authority to
expend money for roads outside
the county, the court found itself
compelled to reject the application
The petition will probably be
presented to the Marion county
court at the next term, The
court will make an investigation
of conditions at Peoria, where a
free ferry is petitioned for. It is
likely that the ferry will be
established in a short time.
