THE FOURTH DEATH
Within Five Weeks Burial
Mrs. John Day.
of
After a few weeks' illness with
typhoid fever, Mrs. Jshn ' Day
died at the home of her friend,
Mrs. Mattie Knight, in Forest
Grove, at io o'clock Sunday
night. 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

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.
Once before when Frederick
Warde was in Portland teachers!
of the city schools presented him
with a silver service. 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. Few men
are accorded sweh receptions, and
the people of Corvallis who hear
him Friday evening will con
gratulate themselves on having
been entertained and instructed
bv a man without a peer and
whose art is unexcelled.
