Paul aod Kerr finished painting the John Smith residence in this city, " The wnrlr was commenced some time ago, but weather conditions were not satisfactory for its completion . Some thoughtless - person ' "high- lifed" a dog on Mam -street Friday afternoon". .How any person can derive amusement from anything so tsruel'is' beyond the comprehen sion of the. major jty of ou we are pleased to note. : - The family of N: F-Gillespie ex pect to leave tomorrow for McMirin rille. where Mr. Gillespie has ac cepted a position in "the Jacobson establishment. - Many people- will miss them as they have residrd in this citv for " years and have won many friends. ; During the ' month' of January iW.

The affair is under the direction of Miss Helen Crawford and Mrs. Green. A synopsis of the program appear ed in the Gazette a few issues ago. It is to be hoped the patronage will be good on this occasion. ' Rube Kiger came to Corvallis in I860 and a few days ago, while c6mmenting on the weather, said that each year there is a marked change in the climate. ? He states that the winters are becoming milder. Mr. Kiger should be an authority, for he operated an . ice .house here for a number oi winters and "put Cup natural ice. ; A man woul i starve to death if h.9 depend ed on such a business now. John Fischer, f father of Mar guerita Fischer, 'and manager of the well-known theatrical company, was denied a petition in bankruptcy a lw days ago by Judge Bellinger in tne supreme' courts John Fischer according to all accounts, was seek ing to keep ' from paying 4 salaries due actors of his company and the present trouble" had itsv beginning Jast December at Grants iPass.' This company is quite well known here, as Miss Marguerita and people have piayM' for us on several J occasions.

Arrangements are almost perfect ed for. the final game of basket ball between the girls of OAC and Al bany to be played in Portland next Friday evening V This will be a most interesting affair, as both teams have a victory to their credit and this is to decide the champion ship. A lightning sketch artist appear ed on our streets last : Saturday afternoon and began making "black and white" of pur citizens. It was very interesting to watch bim work and the accuracy and rapidity wai almost beyond belief . His charge was lOcts a drawing and for a time he had all he could do. A large crowd watched him work. . There was talk at one time of running a special train from Cor vallis to Newberg upx- Friday evening to accommodat those who desired to attend th inter-collegiate state oratorical contest. But from what we learn it appears that students at OAC . have arranged to make the trip by boat. Just how far up the line a special train will run over the West Side is not known. . The social given by the ladies of the Congregational church at Fred Clark's residence on Friday even - , . . ... - ing last, was a success in every way. Solos by Agnes von der He! len, Edna Allen and Jean Kent were well rendered, a recitatition by Maybel Huff together with a farce, "The Wrong Browns" by Vina Woods, Villa Fields,- Mr. Selleck and penneth Colbert, com posed a&y rogram; Dainty re- iresnments were served, rne re ceipts of the evening were $15.

The stage of water in the Willamette is about as low at present as it ever was before at this time of the year; only z feet I inches above low- water mark. If we are not favor ed with some of those "little, drops of .water", ere long boating on the Willamette, will' stop unusually early this year- . Members of jthe G. A.. R., assist ed by the W. R.

The bova. are expected to be un- usually strons this year and satis- factory results are predicted. Mrs. Louise J. Stewart. Mrs. Louise J. Stewart died in this city at 12 o'clock last Friday night. , Her death resulted from what may be termed old age, and she : was 1 living . at the time with her daughter,' Mrs. Henrietta Rancjai ., Sfa th wife of James H. Stewart, a prominent farmer of this county for many years, but who died in 1906. Mrs. Stewart was born in 182 1 and came to Ore gon in 1851. , Her' husband and herself settled on a donation land claim about three miles north of this city on the Albany road, and alter the location of- their home stead resided in : Benton county continuously until death overtook them. They were both highly respected people. ' ; All her life she was quite a de termined woman. She had been ailing somewhat of late, but her condition did not seem serious enough to warrant: undue anxie ty. She was not confined to her bed, strictly speaking before her death. The day before she died, she did not feel very well and was persuaded to remain in bed until a later hour than was her usual habit. On the day of her death she remained in her bed a considerable portion of the day, but was up for awhile in the af ternoon. She complained of the fact that she had not been up all day . and made light of her con dition. Her death was more the result of old age; than ' anything else, as she was aged 84 years, She still possessed the old home stead north of this city. She is survived by five chil dren, ; Mrs. : Henrietta Randall, Mahalla Stewart, Tehial Stewart, Lafe Stewart and Melissa McMa han. . The funeral services were held yesterday at the home of Mrs, Randall at 2 o'clock in the af ternoon and were conducted by Rev. Frank E. Tones, , of the Christian church.: The remains were interred in Crystal Lake cemetery. Benton County Sawmills. , C. G. Felger was in from Philomath, Saturday, and he re ported that it was his understand- ing.that the Benton Countv Lum ber Co. 's mill would begin oper. ations, Monday (yesterday). This mill has a capacity for sawing about 40,000 feet of lumber per day. It. operated at its full capa city a large number, of men wil find employment here in the mil and woods ' together. Logging for a mill that, saws ' so many thousand feet per day is an un dertaking that will keep quite a number of men very active. . Such an industry as this is a splendid thing for any country it creates a pay roll, which is the life of a community. TJhis mill saws .more,, fir . .tiian any other kind of lumber. " ' There was a time when fir was not considered good for lumber, shut 'r that time has passed and its merits are now everywhere recognized and con sequently , there is a strong de mand for the product. Mills of all kinds are good for a people where there is a market for their output. The sawmill here at Corvallis is of far more value to the people of this' com munity than is realized by many of our citizens. With its large capacity it . follows . that , many men are employed and that is what counts for; a working people. , Something to do is the thing. Mr. Strong's mill gener ally has -something for a - man . to do. ; A great deal - of money is brought into Benton county by sawmill men and large sums that would otherwise be sent abroad for- building material - remains at home. Money in- our pockets is better than money in'' some olher fellows' ' jeans, ' V and almost any kind : of a : head can figure that out. We believe that the major ity of our '-'people 1 are becoming alive to the wisdom , of patron izing home industries. Seeking a Good Site. - Lieut. Quinlan, ''commandant at c OAC, went , to Portland durr ing. the flatter part of last week for the purpose of arranging the details of a io-days' encampment of OAC cadets, at, the Exposition in Portland, i from . Jane 15th to 2 sth. This work he' was author ized5 to undertake by;tfie'board jof regents 01 the institution. M,. ;. The lieutenant wanted to se- 1 cure a good camping site for about 500 men and wfc' Heat he" has been very successful- in his en deavor and a place suitable to his needs has been secured. Lieu tenant Quinlan was also very de sirous that the' Fair co poration try and arrange for Washington's cadets to be in attendance on this occasion, that they might en ter into competition with OAG for trophies. The lieutenant was expected to arrive home last night. It is earned that he expscts to secure the necessary tents for camping out of some of v the National Guardsmen of the state. Additional Local.

As soon as. Wellsher-& Gray are moved into their new quarters in the Weustefeldt building, J. K. Berry will move his shop into the building vacated by them. Mr. Berry" expects to be in his new quarters by the middle of the month. Jim was expected to return last evening from a business trip to Portland. At the tims of going to press yes terday afternoon, the case of the state against the two young men accused of filching jewelry from a telescope lost last fall by James Flett and family, was having a hearing in Justice Holgate,s court, at the court house. The hearing was carried on in the usual - way; many witnesses were 'examined. The only thing out of the ordinary was that the jury consisted of but four meu. - At last accounts there was no way of foretelling tne out come. i, There is somebody on the Tele gram wnose Knowledge 01 geogra phy is becoming a trine rusty. In the issue .of last Saturday that paper stated that the Independent Telephone Co.. of "(Jowallis." had secured possession of the "Alaska" line, or words to that effect mean ing Corvallis and Alsea. It grieves us to thus remark upon the error of a paper of the lelegram s standing, but with a little study a fair know ledge ot the geography of this state may be obtained by the one respon sible for the error. . . - The cross-country sprint at OAC last .Saturday afternoon was an affair of great interest, A gold medal was hung up for the various classes. The understanding was that each class should start four men in order to be eligible to compete for a medal and for the past few weeks training has been done without stint. The juniors and seniors com bined and were allowded to com pete for one medal, whic1! was taken by Steiwer, with , VanCleve and Burns close seconds. .The sopho more contest was won by Beach and the freshmen by Howard.' The best time was made by the sopho mores, in each .instance tne run ners came' home, in a bunch. . L)r.
