LOCAL AMI ftRSONU 'Adams Brew. re .buildin? ; j addition to the .' r idenee . of Mrs, ArchJohn8on, ju t Mcross .M-y river. ' " J. H. Price, now in the employ of the Corvallis Flour Mills com pany, was in Albany last Saturday on business. Charlie Ewart, the well known architect, came up from Portland, Sunday, on matters of business that required personal attention. Jack Arnold dropped into Cor vallis as thoueh from the sky Inst Sunday. He came from San Fran cisco and calculates to pass a couple of months at his boyhood home this citv. Jack has many friends here who will make him welcome. Last Saturday Dr. Cathey pur chased the Joseph Femtein property on Sixth street house and three lots. The consideration was $1,100 In the course of two or three weeks Mr. Feirsttin expects to move to Salem, or that vicinity. Arnold's show and circus outfit, merry-go-round and so forth pass ed through Corvallis, bunday en route to Independence. During last, week they were in Albany Our people did not consider it ad visable to encourage them to come to this city. Joe Hughes waB in town Satur day and reports that on their place, some eight or ten miles south of this city, grain aphis are at work to considerable extent oh both fall and epnng grain. Joe is yery Strenuous in his demands for change in the weather. Prof: Clyde Phillips, who has had a great deal to do with sinking wells at OAC in the endeavor to supply water for that institution went to f ortland, oaturday, it is understood that he went to secure some necessary apparatus for prose cuting the work on hand. It has been decided to produce the "Wreck of the Hesperus" and the other great works for voice and orchestra in the Upera House m- ntjar rf fVin A rmnrv Wo . Vnnw whereof we speak when we say that this entertainment is to be splendid. It is for the building fund of the college Y. M. " C A and will occur Friday evening, J une 52. Ine lelegram 01 the istn ins contained a very nice half tone of Mayor Elect A. J. Johnson- of this city. Mr. Johnson is but 37 years of age. but has had a vast amoun state senator from Linn county, for four veara and has ono.nnied : other . r positions of prominence. At pres ent he is National Bank Inspector for Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Montana. He is a hustling, wide' awake business man and has re side in this city for two years. 01 Rose, son of D. C. Rose of this city, arrived from Portland on me .evening irain rnuay. inis was Ol's first visit home in more than seven years. Hia people here had no idea he was coming up. On arrival here ha walked into his father's place of business and asked for a cigar; his father waited him, asked what brand he preferred to smoke and so forth and failed to recognize him. 01 has been in Portland all these years and is em ployed in a machine shop . Here turned to Portland, Sunday. At At the meet between U of 0 and U of W at Eugene last Saturday the score was 62 to 60 in favor of Eugene. A couple of days before OAC beat the visitors by 20 points. Conditions were slightly different at Eugene. It is now up to Cor vallis and Eugene to try conclusions, and this will be done on OAC's field next Saturday. - Both teams have defeated Seattle, but we 'figure we are going to win from Eugene by a slight margin. Still there is nothing certain about it, and there is enough of the element of chance about the outcome to make it of unusual interest. 'In the report, published in the Rural Spirit of the farmers' insti tute recently held in Coif ax,, Wash., we find the following utterances ' credited to Dr. James Withycombe, of OAC: . Dr. Jas.' Withycombe, director of Oregon Agricultural .College, Corvallis, next spoke on 'r "General Farming." He deprecat- ed a system or, farming that en riches the father and impoverishes the son, making a strong plea for diversified ' farming, ' rotation of . crops and the production of more leguminous plants and the growing of stock to keep up the fertility He said a ton of wheat worth about : $25 takes $7.50 worth of fertility from the soil, while a ton of butter worth $500, requires 'less than 50 cents worth to produce it. He emphasized the importance of build ing up the farm home and the necessity ; of an agricultural edu cation as a factor in keeping the ; children on the farm and making . farm life what it ought to be. Mrs. S. L. KeezeU of Philomath, was visitor in ;orvallis Ja8t . Sat urday". ' ;: Last Friday evening" there war ar ice r cream - social at - ine mi. View school house. - A good crowd was in attendance and an enjoyable time ur der the circumstanses was matter-of-course. - r A very fine display of harness of every possible description is await ing inspection at J. E. WinegarV factory. . h. very thing in a nret- class harness factory may be found here. Mrs. Busbnell, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Herroh, arrived in this city, Friday, for a month's visit with her relatives. On her n-- urn home she will be accompanied by her sister, M:ss . Margaret Her- ron. As the result of a recent OAC faculty meeting . it is a matter of conjecture whether Frissell will be allowed to enter the meet next Saturday as one of Eugene's track men. The reason for barring ' him is that he has not been enrolled at U of O long enough. It is now time that preparations were made lor Memorial uay ex ercises. . So rar, little worK nas been done at the various cemeteries It is quite likely that this week will see great improvements made about the last resting places of our departed friends. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Nclan,"of this city, went to Albany, b riday, to attend the last sad rites in con nection with the funeral of Father Metayer. The Reverend Father passed nearly his entire working life as rector of the Uathohc church of Albany and was well liked by all. Tomorrow evening an entertain- tainment is to be "given in the Col lege chapel for the benefit of the Village Improvement Society. It is to be what may be considered "A Night With the Crusaders," and is under the managemant of Miss Snell. - It is understood that Prof. Fulton and Miss Lulu Spang ler and others will sins', while Professors Bercht ld and Taillandier will deliver papers appropriate to the occasion. The paper of the latter wilLbe '"The ; Effect of the Crusades oh Music,." Something like a year ago a family named Reutter left Kings Valley, because they did not like the country, and returned to their old home in South Dakota. Re cently they returned to Oregon and were in Albany. A member of the family Was met a few d.-iys ago by a Corvallis man and said since leaving Sonth Dakota he had learn ed that their-old home had been wiped off the map. Under those conditions :" it must seem doubly good to be in Albany once again. The Rose Fair held in Miller's Hall last Saturday by the ladies of the Presbyterian church was a suc cess in every way. The fair open ed about 5 o'clock in the'afterhoon and remained open until 9. Dur ing this time refreshments were served. . . The rosea on exhibition were as fine as will be found on this earth anywhere, so the reader may employ his fancy to its fullest capacity in order to gain an idea of what the interior of the hau looked like. In all, the ladies t jok in 8ometning liKe $b4, and tney are all well pleased with , their patron age. .. It is fitting at this time to call th3 attention of our readers to tne fact that the Fifth Annual National Good Roads Convention is schedul ed to be celd in Portland, June, 21 24. ihe matter or . good roads is of as great importance in , Oregon as almost any question before the people. For this reason it is hoped that those of our citizens who are identified with road work at home may see their way clear to attend these meetings, liood results are certain to follow and it will be an moBt opportune time to yisit the Exposition. 1 An item appeared in the Oregon lan a; few days ago to me enect that all county exhibits had to be duly installed by May 25, or else they would not be allowed the space allotted them. This is un just to some counties at least, and Benton is one of them. Henry L, French, who has charge of Benton's exhibit, states that it would. be utterly impossible for our county or any other county, to do this. as work in the Agricultural . Palace was not far enough along to allow those in charge of the placing of the various county exhibits to work as they were anxious . to do. Mr French and assistants worked right up to the workmen finishing the building and were obliged - to quit and come home. It will riot be the fault of those in charge of the exhibit! from the various counties if they are not installed oh time to the rsirmt. At the time Mr. French wag compelled to quit work down there Benton's exhibit was farther along as regards placing than that oi any other county. OF ' UNUSUAL1 SADNESS. The Age of "73 Years Mrs. Louisa" Irwin 'Takes Heir " Own Life. Early Friday morning the sad the animal had been sick ;andolad refused food and drink. 'She wax Harley's best cow, as is usually the case. - " Physical Director W. 6. Trine, of OAC, went up to Eugene to at tend the meet between U of O and . 1 m tit - ". - intelligence that Mrs. Louisa Ir- i"01 w "ac team last Saturday. win had fallen into a well was I Dr. Dayton, the eye conveved bv ohone to this citv. iwill have his office at Her home is located tit "The Buttes," some ten miles south of this city on the Monroe road. The old lady had been in ill health lor some months and it was supposed that the sudden death, recemly, of her son, James, caused an aberration of mind and that she took her own life by jumping into the we 1. Miss Hattie Montgomery was nurse, as well as housekeeper lor Mrs. Irwin and took the aged la dy her breakfast in bed as usual on this moraine. Later Miss Montgomery went out either to feed the chickens or to dress one, and when this duty was completed returned to the house to find Mrs. Irwia missing. The alarm was given and search instituted, with the result that Richard Irwin found his poor old mother's form in the well about ioo yards from the house. A shawl on the well curbing gave a clue to where the old lady was, and anything " more sad would be beyond telling. Mrs. Irwin came to Benton with her husband, Richard Irwin, deceased, in 1849. After a stay of some time in this county they went to Portland, where they are said ts have remained for, three years. They then returned to this city and kept a store for some time. ' Later they settled bn the donation land claim, the same on which Mrs Irwin came to her death. Sickness and sorrow. are su p posed to have produced such a state of melancholy that drove Mrs Irwin to take her own life. The day before her death she was visited by Dr. Lee, of this city, and seemed fairly cheerful and in her usual spirits. In the presence of a large gath ering of sorrowing friends the re mains were interred in the family cemetery on the home place last Sunday. Thus has another of Oregon's good old pioneer ladies gone to the great Unknown. Death is always sad, but (his case bears unusual cause for sorrow. Richard Irwin the last survivor of the family has the sympathy of a multitude of sincere friends, in this, hirf greatest bereavement. It Does the Work. Mention was made recently of great discovery in the way of a hair tonic Dy Jesse bpencer, of this city. As a resalt of this an nouncement many of the scanty- haired ot the human family have given this tonic a trial. One trial ' is enough to convince the most skeptical that this hair grow-' er will do all that is claimed for it. , , People know a good thing when they see it and Mr. Spencer's ex perience with his tonic, is proof of this old saw. It. is sold in 50c and $1 bottles and a call at Mr. Spencer's barber shop will result in further information. If your hair is thinr falling out, or has dandruff do not delay. For few cents you may preserve a fine head of hair. specialist, th Hotel Corvallis, Friday and Saturday Eyes examined Free. 43-44 Ed Crawford came up. from Sa lem, Saturday evening, and spent Sunday with his parents, Mr. aiid Mrs. J.
