Alsea Orange. . , Hope Grange No. 269, of Al sea, held a public instailation of its officers for the ensuing year in their commodious and coven ient hall on the 14th inst. The Grange held a short closed ses sion in the forenoon for the trans action of some necessary business, and then threw the doors open to the public, A magnificent dinner was spread, such as the Alsea people are noted for, and for an hour everybody enjoyed the splendtd repast, where sociability reigned supreme. . The installation ceremonies were followed by a nice program, after which Recorder Vincent spoke on the "Fundamental Principles of the Grange." He said in part: The basic princi ple of the Grange is union by the strong and taithful tie of agriculture. The motto adopted bv the Grange is, "In Essentials ' In pursuance of the governor's Unity, in non-essentials liberty; recommendation, Senator Piercel1.13 all things Charity."- The ob has introduced a bill providing J th ' Grange w to develop that when an emplove is injured a . degree of manhood and in the course of his emolovmeat. womanhood "among the members; 3 .1 '1 - 1 -M j make home mure heantifnl anH The purchase of a few acres of land surrounding the monument erected at Champoeg by the state in commemoration of the estab lishment of civil goverinent in Oregon is authorized by Senator Croisan's bill, which appropri ates $600 for the purpose speci To prevent the bringing of trivial criminal cases where there is no chance of conviction is the object .of a bill introduced by Senator Laycock. .' The bill pro vides that no costs shall be allowed unless the complaint be submitted to the district attorney and be approved by him. - The city council niet in, ad journed session Friday night ano an amendment to the city charter was voted upon ; and passed, pro viding for the city to, at any future date, iss-ue bonds up to the amount of $75,000 to be used in building a municipal waterworks system, to be owned and operat ed by the Gity of Corvallis. This clause is only intended to place the city in a position to build her own works, it she wanted to, it a satisfactory con tract cannjt be made with an outside company. It seems to be the opinion of the council that if the citv has to raise a bonus of $25,000 to help some outsider to put in a system, it bad just as well add a few thousand dollars more to this amount end build a system of its own, which seems to be a very good plan. It is the policy followed by Portland aDd several other cities, and places the city in a more independent position. The amendment to the charter is to go before this legis lature, i ' The question of extension of city limits was again brought up at this meeting, although at the regular meeting . last Monday night this question was brought up for what was supposed, to,; be against loss by an insurance com- If "'active; reduce expenses by Danv. suit m-iv be mounr r against either the emplbver insurance company, or both. ; and work (TIT " " " 1 OJJ.lU.L.V i intelligent calculation mak and farm- Killing Bob White quail be fore September, 1909, is to be made unlawful it Senator Smith's Senate Bill becomes a law, and after that time the open season will last from the second Satur day in September to the third Tuesday in September of each year. k .

Last Friday night, the question of why the southern suburb was left out was brought up by Councilman Avery, and consider able discussion, 'pro and con loliowtd.
