The remains were brought to Corvallis Tuesday and the funeral occurred from the Christian church at 2 p. m. Tuesday afternoon. The ser vices were conducted by Rev. Handsaker and numerous friends and acquaintances were present to pay a farewell tribute of respect The remains were laid in Crystal Lake cemetery, beside those of the three children who died less than five weeks ago, all from typhoid fever. The first death was that of Miss Eva Day, the 19-vear old daughter, who died Feb. 24th., after many weeks' illness. Only fo'ur days later Ina, the 13-year old sister, followed, and on March 5th, Joseph, the 17-year old brother, from whom had been concealed the knowledge that his two sisters were gone, also succumbed to the disease, the funeral occurring March 6th., and now only one month and three days later, the mother is laid away! The only members left of a bappv family of six are the father and husband, John Day, and a young boy, Ben, who barely survived an at tack of typhoid some weeks ago. A sadder case than that of the Day family has never come to the notice of Corvallis people, and there is profound sympathy for the surviving membere. Mrs. Day was aged 41 years, and was a native of Germany. Will Break the Record Great as were the results last year of the efforts put forth by the Benton County Citizens' League, those anticipated for the coming year are still greater, and inoications point to a season of unparalled success in securing immigration for Benton county. John Allen, the secretary, now has a stenographer to aid in the task of answering letters of in quiry from the East, and yet the letters arrive by the dozen daily, until both secretary and stenographer are 'snowea under." Since the first of March 1,000 pieces of literature, relative to the resources and advantages of Ben ton county, have been mailed by the League, and replies show that 90 per cent of the recipients are pleased with the descriptive matter sent them. Every iu quirer is sent a personal letter by the secretary and this delicate attention goes far in winaing the confidence and enlisting the interest of the prospective home seeker. The League work this year will be better systematized than ever before, and the officers feel certain that the results will be little short ot marvelous, judging from the direct benefits that were derived last season from the advertising and other efforts put forth. It is safe to assert that nowhere in Oregon, unless it be in Mult nomah county, will more effective work be accomplished by any organization, than that of the Benton Citizens' League, with its hustling officers and energetic secretary. Wno Is the Available Man? Four years ago the republican candidate for state printer, ran thousands of votes behind his ticket because of his record as a bolter and his notorious "deal" with "Jack" Mathews in the state convention of 1902. Now Whitney is more vulnerable still, because the state printing office has been run so expensively to taxpayers. The one man among the state printer candidates to add strength to the republican ticket is Willis S. Dunmway, who pledges retrenchment and who is able to help fight the parties bat tles in the coming campaign, as he has often done in the oast. The prices of tickets for Fred erick Warde recital Friday , evening will be iO cents and $1. General admission, 50 cents. Engraved calling cards per 100, $3.00 and up. Morgan, The Print er, Corvallis. ; 29t Additional Local. The greatest actor that ever visited Corvallis in any capacity is Mr. FredericklWarde. For years it has been known that there were coal deposit in certain parts of Lincoln county, and con cerning recent developments in that line the Reporfer has the fol lowing in ite last issue: Mr. Joe Nurry, an Iowa man, after doing some prospecting assisted by a coining expert bought a tract of land and has shipped in a drilling outfit The machinery has been taken up there and will be in oper ation in a few days. H. A. Hartei, a mechanical and mining engineer, has charge of the work.' He has had over thirty years' experience in practical mining and is an ex pert. He had looked the grounds over, located the upper strata of coal and feels confident that a large strata lies beneath it. The machinery brought here has a capa city for drilling down a thousand 'eet. It is of the improved modern type . A vote for Judee E. B. Watson on April 20th., will be a vote for the best interests of the whole people of Oregon. Among the man reasons why people will vote for E. B Watson for United States senator, is because he is an able and experienced lawyer, and has held many responsible positions with great credit to himsi If, and acceptance to the people whom he served. The smooth, professional politician, cannot assume a genuine sincerity that will not be noticed. Many men meeting Judge Watson for the first time, &11 at once im pressed with his sincerity, h;s honesty and ability, characteristics which make him Appreciated, by all who know him. There is nothing affected or put on about him. Vote for him for United States senator.

This year on his return he is given an ovation by 700 members of the Elk Lodge with the chief ex ecutive of the state making the presentation speech.
