The recital was held in the college chapel and began at 5 o clock. Quite a numbar oi friends of the pupils were in at-" tendance, although it was a private recital. Everything moved off nicely and from reports that come tr us we feel convinced that tnose on trie program on this oc casion were in' a musical mood. President Gatch was in attendance lmd made some very interesting re-. f marks. Mrs. Green has about 75 pices in her choral class and the work is moving along quietly, but on true art lines. During the past week or so Smith & Boulden have been dis tributing money among farmers who had poultry for sale at quite a liyely rate.

Judge Lionel Webster, of Muli- noma i county, is among thos in attendance at the State Good Roads Association now in annual session in this city. The pastor's subject at the First Methodist church next Sunday morning is, "Honoring the Hoiv Ghost;" Fellow." evening, "That GirlV SETTLED OUT OF COURT. Case of Men Recently Arrested Held From Jury. As is quite well understood at a meeting last week the city council took steps to annull and render void what was known as the old Pittman water fran chise for the City of Corvallis, which had been , acquired by the present water company of ' this city, Dr. Farra being the head 6i: the company. This action was taken in view of the fact that the city recently elected to establish and maintain a gravity system of her own, T and the ad ditional fact that Dr.' Farra was employing men to ditch and, lay water mains at the time the city took such action to annull the franchise. It may " also be con sidered in a sense as a' sort of preliminary to actions that may Come before the courts at some future date. " " A' i i ac any race nocice was given Dr. Farra to cease laying pipe and on the continuance of his men at the task set them they were placed under arrest Monday afternoon and cited to appear before Police Judge Yates Tues day morning- As we understand the matter, Attorney E. E. Bry sonj who represented the city in this case, consented to a . post ponement of trial until 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, in order that counsel retained by the water company could arrive At torneys W. E. Yates, of Van couver, wash,, and J. K. Wyatt, of Albany, appeared in due sea son to conduct the defense. The matter of attending the men under arrest, somewhere near a dozen, was to have been argued before a jury WednesT day afternoon and the jury had been empanelled, but the mat ter was adjusted out of court. Attorneys Bryson and Wyatt ar rived at a conclusion satisfactory to themselves and what would in their minds be agreeable to those whom they represented. On Mr. Wyatt's securing the' support of W. E. Yates, his con frere, there vras conducted what may be termed a compromise.. By the terms of this under standing it was agreed that the men who had been arrested -for performing the labor of laying the pipe should not be prosecuted and Dr. Farra was allowed to go ahead and complete the work undertaken by his company! It was thoroughiy understood, how ever, that in no way was this to be construed as establishing a precedent in the event of any future action which might occur. This seems a wise proceeding on the part of the attorneys for both sides, as it avoids a good deal .of expense for a trial that would not provide a settlement of the real issue. The council has taken the pre caution to appoint a street com missioner, as provided for by an ordinance of long ago, and this official's duty is the inspection of certain works on the streets, the issuance of building permits and for anything in the way of street work. In future Dr. Farra is to give 15 days' notice to this corn- Senator Avery arrived home in this, city Wednesday from the Sius- law river, where for about a month he has been on business " connected with a salmon cannery in which he has an interest.
